<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>
