Replacing the rotten wooden framework of the Lord Brassey gold stamper battery involves handling and shaping very large cross-section structural timbers. The battery lies in the hills near Reefton, on the West Coast of New Zealand's south Island. Essentially, the task requires ancient mill-wrighting skills, which are hard to find these days. This You Tube describes how the Department of Conservation solves that problem, with a person trained in the use of ancient tools and techniques, but who uses modern machinery to save time and money.
