  • no sawing just crap

  • Hull Oaks is a steam powered sawmill, Type in Hull Oaks there are 3 or 4 videos.

  • There's Sturgeon's Mill in Occidental California where they still cut redwood, and sell, so it is a functioning saw mill

  • Very cool. I worked for the Saginaw mill in Woodenville WA before it closed in 1979. There is still a mill with a boiler in Sultan WA. My family were all loggers and mill workers in the Skykomish and Snoqualmi valleys until logging got shut down for the most part.

  • holy crap a real redneck in wa state

  • clearwater paper corp is the worse company to work for, never do business with them, they are all worth nothing

  • Hello, There are a couple of steam powered saw mills in Heston Ind. One is a museum and one is not. Just check out Heston Steam museum . Thery cut my wood all the time

  • What a suprise, we were neighbors of Gene and Gladys for several years and his story is great. I wish the video showed more of the entire process, it is so complete. We used to burn the slab wood for heat. Gene is also a farmer, raising cows and oats and hay to feed said cows. The oats are run through a very old thrasher and the hay is put up loose. I'll keep this video forever. Thank you.

  • Hi, your vid was really interesting. Im from west of Scotland and have a sawmill. I have a moderns set up, however also have an old bench which I am restoring. Do you have any more footage of The Frase Creek Mill?
