11/2024.....In 1975 my buddy rescued a 1930s sawmill from a bog. It resembled your rig. It was well preserved and after he brought back to his property, cleaned and greased it, & he had up an running in no time. He could rig up anything, so he used his 1940s Jeep's PTO, to run the saw, via some belts. I remember his saw blades, and they must have been from older era, as the "teeth" could be removed, and sharpened. His mill had a special chain driven saw dust catcher, that drew the saw dust out from under the blade and tossed it in a pile. He was able to make some money cutting railroad ties, and won a bid to cut lumber for a local company, that was rebuilding bench seating at a race track. This was in Southern Ohio. Your set up is beautiful and runs so smoothly, everything is in sync. That roller table, is a great addition. I love the sounds of a mill and the smell of the freshly cut wood. Seeing an antique mill operating is thrilling. Those things were built to last.
Sure, I’ll add it to the description too. It is a Frick 00 circular sawmill with a 48 inch diameter carbide tip saw blade. Powered by a 3 cylinder Detroit Diesel motor.
@@Nerfork Awesome power unit, those old Detroit diesels are the best stationary power you can have in a mill, glad to hear that you're running carbide bits on your saw and thanks for such a nice show and reply
You have to remember these mills and technology and the men who ran them were from the 1940's. Long time before OSHA and all their rules came about. The men that ran and worked these mills were real men. Not the hansy pansy ones you have today. They knew hard work and they knew how to be safe and respect the things that could hut and possibly kill them cause it was how they made their living.

New subscriber here, may I ask what kind of mill you have here ?

Looks quite dangerous safety wise. I didn't see any PPE equipment being used.😢
