Simple Briefcase

[MarshalWill]

That mill scene looks mighty good. Very nice work.l Love those trees and the wood and stones in the mill. Thumbs-up! Again, the balance of the whole piece is outstanding.

Thank you

The sides are finished. Due to size only posting 1 photo of the inside, both are the same.

You can reduce your file size down to 800 or even 1024 pixels per inch on the longest dimension.  That is plenty good resolution considering people using smart phone, tablets, and computer monitors that don't have the resolution to display high res photos.  It helps people on the fringes of the internet that have low download speeds.  High res photos take a long time to download if you are in a fringe area.

Your work is great!! Love it.

Finished the briefcase today, learned a lot from it.

Outstanding! Nice job.

I like both equally but do you have a favorite side?

First, your tooling is great, way better than mine!  My question is about the water wheel.  Isn't the water supposed to run into the top of the wheel to make it turn?  It doesn't look like there is any place for the water to run from up high.  I'm really not trying to be pedantic.

I'm not Walter but the answer is ... it's an undershot wheel.

OK, thanks. I stand corrected. I haven't seen one of those but it makes sense.  Sorry, Walter.

[Mablung]

That is incredibly neat.  Well done.

Thank you, good question AIZilla mentioned undershot wheel. Possible but the wheel design for the water pockets is angle for a top fill. The trough coming from the right is possible. Yet doesn't fit with the water flow. Could be artistic error I have photographed many mills in the South East.
