Wow! Thanks for all the help everyone! Found what I needed plus spent a boatload more on things "I didn't REALLY need yet! :)" Ha! Tom, as requested, here is a full photo(s) of the mill. The entire building is built from redwood and thicker wood than true scale as it needs to withstand gallons of water and humidity from the koi pond it borders. The waterwheel was a %$#@^ to build for the same reason. It consists of two circular sides joined by the paddles and supported with the redwood wheel supports bolted to a threaded rod. The bottom (inner circlular portion) of the wheel is tin formed in a circle, soldered end to end, then and placed between the two half before the paddles are fastened . It fits the inside diameter of the circular halves and is epoxy'd in place as to prevent water leakage through the wheel and increase support. Not sure..there may be a better recommendation for building one. It does however turn on a threaded shaft that is supported with ball bearings assemblies(need occasional lubrication) and runs straight through to the other side of the building. Inside the shaft is geared down and turns a 4" ripsaw blade mounted to a cutting conveyor. Get lots of comments on it from visitors. Good luck, and enjoy the pictures. I added a few shots of Cedartown Station as well!
