00:30Yeah, that's cool.
00:35Okay, if I can do that.
00:53Nice to go.
01:22I'm going to take a look at it.
01:53This one is different, this one has a different shape, but the great difference is when the
01:57wind changed from direction, you had to rotate the whole windmill, the whole house rotates.
02:03Everything rotates on the bearings underneath the windmill, and you can see them over there.
02:06And it's all manual, but turning the big wheel on the back sounds very heavy to get it done.
02:10All the other windmills, only the top rotates, but this whole house rotates.
02:14And this is always the sawmill for cutting the wood windmill.
02:19How does it rotate though? Manually?
02:22Manually, by turning the big wheel on the back over there.
02:25Okay. But this one the whole house rotates, and all the other ones, only the top.
02:29And you see the rope on the back side over there? First you had to pull the rope, some kind
02:34of a brake, then the wind will stop.
02:35And then you can rotate it by turning the big wheel, and only the top rotates from all the other
02:39parts.
02:41Same thing, you do whichever way the wind is blowing.
02:44Yeah, exactly. I always had to face them to the direction of the wind.
02:47Yesterday the wind was from the west, now it's from the east, so they rotate them to face them to
02:50the east.
02:52This one is built in 1867, this one over here.
02:56So they're all.
03:01They're very quiet. Thank you.
03:03A lot of? Small ones.
03:07Small ones, like his son built this. It's only for the fun. Everything is working, but it's only for fun.
03:13And over here they make a peanut oil. Aresido oil. They make this.
03:17You can use it in the kitchen for consumption. It's very good for your health.
03:34And this one over here, the name of this one is The Young Sheep. And they call him The Young
03:37Sheep because this is the youngest one.
03:39He was built in 2007 as a new windmill when he was only 12 years old.
03:43And this is the sawmill. You can see inside it's working, you see the saw blades going up and down.
03:55And you can hear him cutting the wood.
04:28And you can see him cutting the wood.
04:29He's got really a piece of wood.
04:30And he said, what?
04:30Well, I finally found this for the first time, his head's not going to fall into it, he's got really
04:32cool.
04:32He's got a good one over here, and he's just left.
04:39But because it's like, because he's really well done.
16:52I'm going to be at the port.
17:22I love you.

18:16the entrance.
