There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Fascinating. Loved the first one, not so much the second. If my sawmill needs lubricating Ill call someone in biggrin
I watch woodworking youtube vids. I find em relaxing. Watching an expert do their job is very satisfying.
Thanks KK

Very Cool, the kind of sawmill you must be thoroughly trained for to stay alive.
Steam mills and the type of environment can lead to serous accidents. My father
and his brothers worked on a mill like this in the 40`s.

Interesting how they get 25 HP out of that tiny one piston engine on the 2nd video

And yet, plenty of spinning things for your clothes to go into. Not to mention the big ass blades of course. But the blades you can see, there aren't many of them, the belts on the other hand... you get your globes in one of them and off you go flying... it happened to me actually, didn't know what hit me. biggrin


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

we have a band saw at Scout camp and i am the only one currently trained to use it. We use it to turn timber from our land into lumber for various projects. There is a lot to learn, especially how to divide up the log into the desired dimensions. The steam saw mills amaze me at how long they have lasted.

I'm having trouble reading this, did you mean Ye olde sawmill??

That would make so much more sense. Or it could be my eyes, I'm coming down with a colde.

Reminds me of the opening credit sequence to Twin Peaks. smile

Interesting but scary at the same time.

To think how much effort was needed to build even the most basic shed in the "Wild West"...

That is mill is even more dangerous.

I was waiting to see an arm or hand taken off.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Never seen it working, but I did see the Clydesdale pulling in the logs for it when I was there some years ago.

I did a quick search but there seem to be no pics,
though I'm not surprised. The sawmill adjoined to
the paper mill where I worked summers while going
to school, was built to handle old growth BC logs.
Before it was rebuilt a bit smaller, it was the place
where logs too big for any other mill got sent.

The main saw was a bandsaw, with a blade about 16"
wide, and a little under 1/4" thick. Sort of like
this
one, but much much longer, with teeth on one side
only. It ran on a pair of wheels, one in the basement,
the other on the top floor about four storeys above.
The top floor was the saw sharpening floor, where the
blade not in use meandered in loops all over the open
floor, maybe 40x65ft room, with the wheel in the middle.
The blade lay on its edge, teeth up, and a guy with a
grinder spent all his work days grinding it sharp,
and as soon as he was done, it was mounted to replace
the other, and then he started over.

Occasionally the blade would hit something in a log.
On rare occasions this resulted in the blade breaking,
in which case the free end would hurtle down into the
basement and strike the floor, and shatter into shards
of shrapnel. Some smaller broken pieces got collected
and spirited off the sire by employees, who would make
knives from the shards; at least, that is the story I
was told of the origin of one beastly great clearly
homemade knife in someone's home.

The place was dark dingy oily and wadded with old sawdust,
made of immense fir posts, it had been built in 1912, and
looked like the archetypal workplace from the industrial
revolution. Its replacement was all metal, with lots of
windows, brightly painted in green and white, with the
latest in 1960s automation.
