WORKING WINDMILL The craft of milling : a day of work at 'De Zandhaas' cornmill

The craft of milling : a day of work at 'De Zandhaas' cornmill, Santpoort, the Netherlands 'De Zandhaas' cornmill was built in 1779. The working life of the mill ended in 1964. 'De Zandhaas' ground flour again in 1991, and stoneground wholemeal flour has been produced there ever since. Nowadays, it is one of the few windmills in the Netherlands that are working on a daily basis. The craft of milling is an important cultural heritage, just as fascinating as the structure of the windmill itself. The windmill is the miller's tool, and without the craft it is an empty hull. Preserving the craft of milling should be regarded as an important aspect of windmill maintenance. I have been working at 'De Zandhaas' for nearly twenty years. First as a volunteer later as a semi-professional miller. In my view, full-time professional millers are the true guardians of the craft. http://www.molendezandhaas.nl/ (in Dutch)
