Salvage Dawgs Episode 4: Bent Mill Grist Mill, Bent Mountain, VA

The Black Dog Crew headed to Bent Mountain, VA to salvage this neglected Grist Mill.

Here's what it looks like back at the shop:

This is still in working order! 

Many thanks to Ben, owner of B. E. Hassett Millwrights, for taking the time to work with us on this salvage project.  Ben was a great resource in determining the value of the mill and suggested that we sell it in its entirety, rather than piece by piece.  It's available here at Black Dog Salvage for $12,000.

Salvage Job: Bent Mountain Grist Mill

The guys recently headed to Bent Mountain, VA to salvage an abandoned grist mill.  They are pictured here with owner Charlie and his pup, J. Edgar Hoover.

Smaller than most mills, wonder if it could have been used for moonshining?  The 'Moonshine Capital' is just down the road!

 Mike reached out to Ben Hassett, owner of B. E. Hassett Millwrights to see what they had on their hands.  Ben was a great resource in determining the value of the mill and suggested that we sell it in its entirety, rather than piece by piece.  Unfortunately for Mike, that meant we put a hold on selling his newly created (and quite beautiful!) coffee table. 

Note: the castings were made locally in Salem, VA by Salem Machine Works
