This shows the work in progress on the top level of the buck. The windshaft ends towards the photographer and has a hard hat over it. The other end carries the wooden clasp arm brake wheel. The brake is still to finish and the gear is toothless. The roof construction is clearly visible. The sails are on the other side of the wall and make this windmill appear quite finished, although in reality there are several years' work left.
