<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I am new to the list and have been growing cane to make syrup for the
last two years, (on a a small scale for myself).</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Other people have milled my cane for me the last two years. But, I just
bought a cane mill for myself and it is in good shape.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No cracks or welds and all the pieces are there except the two roller
caps on the top plate. I guess I will have to get those made by a local
blacksmith.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I was wanting to know if there is anyone near to the
Tallahassee area that could provide me with some guidance on how the cane
mill should be refurbished. I have started taking it apart and it all looks
good. So, I may need assistance with that or maybe parts. I plan on cleaning
the outer parts and repainting them back to the old redish color?</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks up front and<EM> </EM>I would appreciate any and all advice on
this rebuild.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
