Last week I was able to take pictures of several operator built sawmills. They are quite unique and ingenious.:D

Nice pictures Egon. Looks like a one lunger type engine running the flatbelt? Some of us would kill for that silver age look of the lumber on the mills. LOL

Acadia Gas Engines Ltd, Bridgewater, Nova Scotia

From what I could tell of the decal the one engine was an Acadia probably built just down the street from where I live.:D

The blades had knock out carbide tips.

No idea as to age of the one engine [the other was boxed in so I could not see it], or when the saw platform was built. I'm pretty sure we saw some of the recently cut planks being used to construct a dock just up the road.

How apropriate, I have 3 oak logs in my woods I am thinking about getting to the saw mill. The wood just wont let me cut it down for the pizza oven, it's too pretty.
