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.
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!
Now THAT'S a sawmill!
