It’s amazing watching these mills run. With the speed mills run today it’s nice getting to watch something just run and not have to go a million miles per hour

That's bad ass sawmilling. My first mill job was in a similar mill. I was the tail sawyer and edgerman. one guy did the canting, the owner did the sawing, and one other guy tailed the edger and piled the lumber and any railroad ties that got cut. I was making $2.75 an hour and 17 years old.

This was a very interesting video to watch. What we do today with gas, or electric power............ They was doing a long time ago and just using water, and more man power. Makes you appreciate the old days.

from all video about saw mill run by water, this is by far the fastest cut mill using water powered

Great video - thank you! I do have to say I miss swimming there. I think every local kid from the 70's and 80's swam there all summer!

Good job guys I wonder what the horsepower rating of that mill with the full amount of water powering it?
@kenpirie1075

We are not really sure what the horsepower is. Theoretically about 40. Whatever it is we need about 4 times more.

You must have a long list of volunters to draw from, working in a mill with little or no PPE and wearing shorts doesnt usuall lead to a long life for your parts
