That’s interesting and confounding all at the same time.
Where did you come across this? It seems home made. Something about the way it takes a minute to reach full speed maybe??
I would think a continuous motion like a bandsaw would be better… But I don’t know anything about sawing logs.

InstagramThat is an interesting mill. I don’t know that I would want to be around it all day. I thought this one that popped up at the end was unique also.
It popped up at the end of a video I was watching.
Swing blades are nice and simple and don’t have to man handle the log.
A new sawmill based on old design of a sash gang saw.

That is pretty wild , I have only ever seen one with a single blade and it cut horizontally . That sure speeds it up a lot . I bet the blades cost a fortune to sharpen .
I am always amazed when I see old machinery like that that have been preserved in working condition. It really goes to show how far things have come, yet how much they are the same. I think the heritage that is preserved in places like that is invaluable.
cool videos for sure.
I’ve been thinking of getting a portable band saw style.
Anyone have any input , In the $5k range.A guy I know reps these, the price seems to be right, I don’t know a lot about the saws however.

@kurt@welkerhomes The place that sells those Hud – son mills is about 15 miles from me. All kinds of mill and forestry gear.

I am building my own bandsaw mill maybe I can finish it this year if nothing else breaks and get a few spare dollars.
That’s an interesting mill. Is it an old one, or a new replica of an old, or just an new mill?

Thanks for all the videos guys. Very interesting to see those mills in action. @jaydee, WoodMizer is another company who makes portable mills: http://woodmizer.com/us/
Very nice videos, Thank you for posting. Like to watch old machinery in action. Just goes to show how over built they were.

Fayetteville, NCThere’s a big old bandsaw type mill that’s trailer-able with it’s own wheels just about a mile away from me here at a farm, It doesn’t look like it’s been touched in years. but still good enough shape, I’d love to have one. I think there is money to be made with one around here, I’ve been meaning to go knock on the door over there but never have
