Groundhog sawmill...
  I was curious what it was so I checked it on google.
Basically its a portable circle mill thats used to cut logs from small tracts of land.
Once its done there is nothing left but a pile of sawdust...looks like a ground hog burrow I guess.
Then its moved and started over.
 Pretty neat idea.

Ducky,remember it takes a good job to support a sawmill,be sure to wear ear protection,and I shouldn't even have to mention eye protection.Hope your FIL still remembers how to service and run the mill it helps to learn from someone who knows. Frank C.

paw helped run the mill years ago....but he didn't do it alot..he remembers some, and is asking questions about other things

what we'd like to do is use the big mill to square the logs up, and then maybe transport them to a bandsaw mill and finish cutting...but right now, the big mill will have to do..we were looking at the wm15..
 
servicing the 'ole gal' is a big part of the morning... i have more grease and oil on my clothes when i get home  than sawdust...

though i guess you could move this mill, WE WON'T!...it's set-up good enough for us..we'll drag the trees to it!

put a few pics on, but can't figure out how to post them here...

i also printed Mr Langstrums pamplet....good information there..ty again
