everything, drilled all holes, sanded, stained and poly’d all the
wood. I’m going to try to do the pour Monday after work. I
used the mortar with no rocks on my last mill, so this time I’m gonna try
the high strength concrete. I did use the idea about the foam pipe
insulation, never would have thought of that. </span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">I like portland cement with no
added aggregate. Because when the mill is turned on it's end and the bedstone
is setting on the runner the bottom of the pour will be the inside finish where
all the business takes place. The finish is then smooth with no
stones/aggregate making places where meal/flour can catch, making clean out
harder. I will try to put some pics together on my last setting. The
sealing was done with foam pipe insulation squeezed in to create a nice inside
radius when pulled out. Cracks where the cement will leak to the runner
below and the feed hole sealing was done with Play Doe. <br>
If you want the best face to face contact, you will have to turn the mill on
the end. Don't forget to bring your runner in to a good spring tension plus a
1/4" to ensure you have enough spring tension at the closest stone
clearance. And determine if your bed stone is protruding, flush or recessed in
you bed stone housing. You may have to make a spacer if protruding which is
discarded when finished. Check out <a href="http://www.oldengine.org/members/jbailey/wmill.htm" target="_blank">http://www.oldengine.org/members/jbailey/wmill.htm</a><br>

<p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I know we go
through this periodically, but I’ve forgotten. I’m getting
ready to pour the bedstone on the 20” meadows I got a few weeks
ago. What are you using for mortar? The first one I did a few years
ago, I used plain mortar mix from a bag. I seem to remember a few
different thoughts on this. What say ye? Does anyone have a good
process for lining up the mill then pouring where mortar doesn’t get
where it’s not supposed to and the stones are lined up when you’re
done? That was another problem I ran into last time.</span></b></p>
