The Sawmill of Falttu, Eurajoki

	The target is historic and is being taken care of, partially funded by the national board of antiquities. As you see the place is not abandoned. Everything's in excellent shape, although the plant is over a 100 years old.
	Left, the mill. Owners plan renting it for a small summer time visitor cafe, if someone should be interested in starting out such. Right, the sawmill. Not used, but in original state.
	Right behind the buildings there's water. A special mill bridge crosses the rapids.
	We went into the sawmill first. There's a bolinder frame with manual feeding cart.
	Technical information. An oldie.
	The sawmill interior is tidy, considering it's not really turned into a exhibition place and it's been operated for sawing every now and then.
	The mill is no longer originally equipped. At later times the sawmill was converted to use steam power for gaining higher capacity. The mill was no longer needed so it's premises were taken to new use. This is auxiliary power unit for the sawmill.
	This is the "control room", originally milling room. Water flow to the wheel and thus operation of the power mechanisms was controlled with these primitive switches.
	Ladders through a small manhole lead to the power transmission floor. There's not much space to walk around because wheels and belts take most of the space. It would be totally dark, but there's small lamp which gives some light.
	For technically oriented visitor this dim hole is very interesting. Original power transmissions are all here.
	Water wheel. It looks okay conditioned and we were told that it's fully in operational order. After pulling some levers water would start flowing to the duct. Then the APU would give helping motion to the wheels and eventually water flow would operate the machinery.
	Bevel gears, part one.
	Wider view. No rust anywhere, the lubrication system has performed it's task well.
	Foundations and a shaft without flashlight.
