Weekend Steam: The Sawmill At Thresherman Park



The summer show at Boonville, Indiana is going on this weekend. One of the attractions you will enjoy there is this sawmill, which is located in a shady grove with several benches nearby to enhance your viewing pleasure.

  1. Now THAT'S a sawmill!

    Steam power, open belt drive, big honkin' saw blade, and a crew of guys who know what they're doing and what each other are doing!

    It was interesting to hear the engine pull down slightly during a cut (last few seconds of the clip) - took a bit of power to keep that big honkin' blade spinning!

    I'm looking forward to the Albert City (IA) Threshermen & Collectors Show next month - lots of steam and old iron!
