I think it is going to be a challenge obtaining the metal parts to build the wheel.
Wood work not a problem as have the jig I used for my Monitor L.
Have not seen anything like this in my travels.
Placed ad in various papers to see if there will be any response.

Re: Dempster #14
I think the Herrigs in Minnesota and Dan B in S Dakota do a lot of wooden-type mills. Have not heard from Jud lately though. How about Paul Cowley?
Oh...What size would that mill be?

Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Re: Dempster #14
The mill is going to be 10 foot according to lettering on case.
I have Dan`s phone number from the 2018 trade fair book and will give him a call.
Thanks,
Joe

Re: Dempster #14
Great find Joe.
After this thread started I decided to get my Dempster 14 out and get started to rebuild it.
I got to thinking that the wheel may be the same as a Dempster 3 or 4. So i called Dan B. and asked him. He said that it is the same wheel. Yea. I have a new wheel for a 3 or 4. So I pulled it out of the barn and put it in the shop this weekend and start to redo it. I am missing a few parts. No problem Dan has them. It needs dog bones. Dan said the bones are made out of flat iron with a cast clip bolted to the flat iron. I can make the flat iron with measurements. Also missing a few other parts I need to go through the parts list and see what I am missing. By the way I found a parts list in the Winter 2010 Windmiller's Gazette.
My plan is to have this mill done by the Trade fair and have it on display.

According to the Bible the #14 was made from 1923 to 1941 and was only made in a 10 ft. model.

The under side of the top bearing cap.
I thought I would paint the casting letters to make them stand out.
