Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

I'm glad i don't work there. 80ft stuff would kill me. i wouldn't want to be an offbearer. I've seen those blades come off the wheel, its not pretty.
i like the old machinery some of the stuff they did back years ago.

Thanks for sharing Addicted. We have a site south of Alexandria, now a museum that closed it's doors in 1965. It is a walk back in time to go and see it. From the rail skidders to the pattern and blacksmith shop used to keep it all running. They are slowly restoring this great part of history. Thanks.

Alexandria!  That's quite a hike from the great lakes. Does anyone know of anything similar in the great lakes region?

Here's a story about one that runs four times a year in MN. http://mankatofreepress.com/bigstory/x2014324152/Historic-sawmill-is-losing-steam If you plan on visiting do it soon while they can still run it.
Here's a video link
