    It’s painful to think of all the devices built millennia ago that we have lost because the medium was ephemeral. This video is a beautiful example of the dedication and skill it took to build things before we could just reach for the power tools

    This is absolutely astounding. Not a single modern tool used and no fasteners/joiners used except for wood. Admiration and greetings from Africa.

    7:46 installing the driving wheel
    7:52 installing the top slab (to slide the chain along)
    8:01 handle installation
    8:15 wooden chain installation
    8:30 the means of transmission of power - rotation of the axle transmits power via the wooden teeth being jammed into the grooves in the chain
    8:57 submerging the tail end into the water
    9:04 blades carry water up and out
    9:07 wooden chain carries water up
    9:14 this last bit is obscured by the video tiles but from what's visible it says the mechanism overcomes the height difference and delivers the water to the farmland 😊

    But I have to ask ??😊 where does he get all his milled / planned timber from ???
    Judging by the scenery he looks like he lives in the middle of nowhere ??
    For me to go and buy that amount of planned timber would cost me a fortune 🙃.
    Having said that I applaud your skills and dedication to the art of wood working that you obviously have a great passion for. 😊
