[QUOTE="just starting, post: 504786, member: 14279"] How did they dig a round shaft back in those days ? Sticking a pick and shovel in the sides of the shaft as you dig down would give you straight edges ,but how did they manage to get it so perfectly round ? The ones i saw today looked like they were bored out with modern day equipment , but this place hasn`t had machinery in there for well over 100 years. There were too many shafts to drive a vehicle in and the trees were very old and tall. I could google it, but i like to hear answers from real people. Any ideas ? FOZ [/QUOTE]
