Sawmill

This sawmill was a major piece of equipment in the settlement of the locality as it was used to convert much of the timber that was felled into planks that were used to build all the buildings on the farms around. You can see a small pile of logs awaiting processing (black and grey poplars, as well as spruce). It is, believe it or not, portable.

The blade and carriage are driven by a belt, attached generally to a tractor (such as the Rumley, above).
