Go to the website, the gallery is top right hand corner. There are 3 pages of pictures of the milling.

I didn't spot the pages either. Started going through them and I thought if that was all they had done....

 

Then I saw the other page numbers.

 

Looked at the Facebook page aswell. Not as many pics on there but good reading.

They have just added a load more pics to the Facebook page.

Alec,

Yes I am connected to the project. My sister is the "Adamson" of Adamson and Low. I assisted my brother in law Hamish in developing the project strategy and plan and getting the project off the ground. Unfortunately a family bereavement has taken me away from things over the last few weeks. We will slowly build up the website and Facebook pages with more info over the coming days and weeks. We have been working on this project for a number of months and what has been amazing and not really fully appreciated is the that all of the plant & equipment, products and services have been provided free and the fact that the finished table once made will be housed and gifted to an appropriate institution for the public to enjoy. We have found the support and generosity of individuals and companies overwhelming especially given the current economic climate. An amazingly generous award winning film maker is filming the project and we hope to produce a small film/documentary at some point. We need as much support, both real and moral, to make this happen so please spread the word. Thanks, Mark
