The guy riding on the carriage is a setter. The sawyer sits on the right hand side of the bandmill. As far as how big of a piece they can cut... I would imagine it is bigger than a 14x30 (I was the sawyer at a nearby sawmill and we can cut up to a 48x48 boxed heart 52 feet long) and I know they can cut longer than 24 feet. They cut an 85 foot piece of 4 inch a few years back that was turned into a table top for a local park picnic bench...

well i worked in Oregon for a while (in a different mill) i have seen this mill working
the first time i visited with my former boss we took a tour with the logbuyer it was awesome we dont have a steam powered mill here in Germany!
the 2 time i took a tour with my friends and there was a guy who never worked in a mill so he dosent have a clue whats going on!
but you should see it in real! its worth a drive
but i belive they dont work right now they had also problems get some Logs in!

There are two steam engines in the basement, directly below the floor (and slightly behind/right the camera). One powers the headsaw via a belt, the second powers the carraige via a cable pull and some other equipment (as I recall). The guy on the carraige is the setter, the sawyer is in a box on the right side of the headsaw, and to his right the log feed to the carraige. On the tour you can stand right between the sawyer and the chain feed as the next log crashes down to the carraige.

i'd love to see some more footage of the operation. If anybody else gets a chance to film it or any other large log coastal mill that would be awesome

i thought the headsaw sounded a little funny getting near the end of the cut. Like ours sounds when we saw down instead of using the electric brake. Is the bandmill itself steam powered (through a belt drive)? And the guy sitting on the cariagge, is he a setter or the sawyer?

This is supposed to be the only remaining steam powered sawmill still in commercial operation in the US. Yes, that is right, the carriage and headsaw are completely steam powered! Two sawdust-fed boilers provide steam to two engines located under the headsaw. Hull-Oakes primarily does specialty order lumber these days, lots large dimension beams (think 14"x30"x24'), according to the talk we had with several people there.

As I recall, having been there last month, the largest they currently do is 65'. Back in the 60s they cut a 110' log that became "the world's longest loveseat' at an expo down south.
