 Nice to meet you dail. my mill is powered by an international gas, not quite sure the hp. As far as support equipment I have an old planer made by powermatic & a rip saw made by north American Machinery co. I think.  
  I have just recently bought all of this from my dad, It as been in the family since the late 40's . I have never had much interest in it before but now I have been bitten by the bug.

Welcome Slim,
These old circle saw mills still have a lot of sawing left in them. I saw with a pre WWII Vance mill which was manufactured hers in North Carolina a few miles from your Meadows mill. Check out the new mills by clicking on this link

No slim, I know who you are talking about.  He just got that mill.  He wants to cut for cash and use the mill to make custom furniture.  He does some really beautiful work.  There is another mill north on m37 between newaygo and white cloud where they deer carrots.  No sign there and I have no idea what he is doing with that.  I do not have a mill, just like playing with everyone elses toys!   Now saws, those I have.  Find the PM yet?   I wanta hear about the red oak!   JB

Hey Johncinquo,
 The guy on 37, is he the guy with the klin? I keep hearing about a guy on 37 with a mill, but no one knows what he has it for. A friend at work said its only a hobby mill, but it sure seams a lot of people know about it. ::)

Hi.
  I have a WM LT40 W/ hyd.  My main project since getting it is construction of a big barn to keep it and all my other junk in. I started last Aug. and worked on it till Jan. Don't have any help other than my machinery so it's been quite an undertaking.  I'm about half way complete. About 98% of the lumber in the barn has been cut on the mill and mostly white pine. All the upper floors are 5/4 rough WP and the roof is 4/4 pine and popular.  Today I started shingling the roof, it's going to take a few days to put the 22 square on though.  I'm putting lifetime GAF ultra shingles on as I dont want to be roofing when I'm 80.  There suppose to look like wood shakes, but I've  never seen any that I thought did a good imatation of wood.  The building has 3 gables and 4 hips and is approximately 40" X 40'.  I'd like to add on another section when this is complete, but will have to fill in more behind the building first.  
    As for making money nothing to speak of, but haven't pushed it either.  To many other irons in the fire right now.
    My wife says I do it for fun and I guess she's right. Hate it when that happens.
