My friend Mr Richard Lidke and a steam powered saw mill project. My wife and I came to help paint the boiler. It was amazing how things used to be.

  • That belt seems kinda loose...

  • That just looks so frickin' dangerous!

  • I had same sort of saw mill in kenya and this remind me those days

  • just like the good old days when the scrap wood fueled the sawmill can anyone say renewable

  • Hey, I'm doing a documentary film with my dad, about a little place in the Wairarapa that was built on sawmilling - Where is your sawmill, and can we come and record/film it operating?

  • I love how tree huggers hate this stuff, yet without it they would have never even survived to come to their delusional opinions....

    Dont get me wrong I believe we need to take care of our enviornment, but we are given these materials to use... And they can be replenished.....And are replenished......

  • awesome, great saw. I love Youtube saw porn, woohoo!! This saw seems to have been built well, The operators appear to be working a safe distance from the blade, it obviously works well so I would have to conclude that this saw is a as safe as the people operating it. Sure stuff goes wrong and 45,000 people die on the highways each year(yeah I though it would be more also), it's life. Is the round thing behind the blade the riving knife?

  • The Mac Daddy of sawmills.

  • WOW!!

    That is very cool, but the only thing I could think about is how dangerous that machine is. That saw blade is huge.

    Wonder how many body parts were claimed by that machine.

  • Beautiful old Americana-Its a wonder that we had such machinery to build this country
