Just finished my stone mill and finally got it working! There's quite a few more pictures over on my web site.
Thanks, guys! I used some stone that I got from Stoneworks and cut that to size. It's set in Quikrete Vinyl Cement Patcher. The windows I built from scratch. It is surprising how easy it is to do them. I built a jig to help, of course. You can see more details on my home page: http://www.jbrr.com/ Here's a shot from the other side:
I made a form from pink styrofoam, then placed cut stones in the form. I added some hardware cloth and poured Quikrete vinyl patch on top of it all. There's a bit of cleanup to do afterwards:
Have fun with your trains
Larry, It's kind of difficult to see in this picture, but maybe it will help to exlpain: Basically, I cast the two end pieces first. When I did this, I also stood some stone pieces on end up against the pink foam, thus forming a corner. When I added the side walls, I cut the stone pieces to fit what was already there.
