Founded in 1897, this historic all Steam Powered Planing Mill is believe the last fully operational steam powered Sawmill and Box factory in America. The planer seen in this video is a 1895 Hall & Brown Planer being powered by a 1910 Ames Iron Works horizontal steam engine.
In 2002 the mill was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

I'm sure I was born 100 years too late. All this old machinery represents a time of life I never experienced but seem to have a longing for. Things didn't come so easy but I think people were more relaxed, satisfied and happier in themselves. This machine is a thing of beauty and symbolizes a much calmer way of life. Great to see it still going and being put to use by dedicated people preserving history.

You are right. I think that generation of men and women were as rugged and proud as their machines and you can see it in those operating the mill today.

@glumpy10 10 жыл бұрын

MrShoptaw Can you imagne something built today lasting as long as this? I can't! In those days things were built to last. These days they are only built to last a certain ( short) time before you need to buy them again.

Oil Burner power of steam just love it I would like to go to a steam fair to see these machines that will still work for a billion years compared to a normal combustion engine we need cars to run on steam like they used to run on because they lasted

@jonnda 7 жыл бұрын

Oil Burner steam is awesome, but if you think the steam cars last forever... watch a few Jay Lenos Garage videos. The boilers don't last on those old cars, and without major effort in reconstruction or repair, they are unsafe at worst.

There's only a few reasons why many things couldn't be done like this today. There is no one manufacturing the equipment because no one will buy it. Too many people don't want to actually work for a living. The planet savers and safety nannies fight it to the death.

I'm working on it. It's a shame that the younger generation don't know a thing about steam powered equipment and boilers. Mention that a boiler requires 3 feedwater devices, and these new boiler welders don't know that first is a mechanical pump, then a Penberthy steam vacuum Injector, then a hand pump, to ensure that the crown sheet doesn't run dry. Ask them if they are working on a fire tube or a water tube, and they look confused. I learned about steam power in my childhood, and my sons, who are in their 20s, have a great knowledge of this power.

Thanks so much, this brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it, When I was 7 years old we moved to White Bear lake Minn. I was allowed to hang around all day at Johnson Boat works. The place was heated with steam and we bent the oak ribs in a steam box. The re saw, planers and the factory looked the same. I grew up on the lake driving Chris Craft inboards and racing the inland scows that Granpa Johnson invented. It was a wonderful child hood. Johnsons were so good to me and I still know how to build a wood sail boat 50 years later. God Bless America again!!! Pat

Just came back to look at this vid again. Your camera and editing work is outstanding and far beyond what is normally seen here. You are either a professional or put a lot of time and dedication into doing this. I suspect the latter because it has the feel of someone that really has an affinity for the subject. You really captured the feel and spirit of this machine and place so well I didn't even realise it the first time I watched as I was so caught up in the mood you created. You have really searched for the angles and got the composition spot on. The sequence from about 2:40 to 3:35 is outstanding especially with the gentleman sutrrounded by the clouds of steam. That's just brilliant work right there not to take away from any other part of the clip. Thank you for putting this up for us all to enjoy and the marvelous work you did on it. It's really a top notch production that is superiour to 99% of offerings here including my own. Well done to you sir and thank you again.

Looks as dangerous as hell but what a joy - and a work of art - to get this old girl running just right. Great vid.

MrShoptaw Pressure is built up in a boiler to power the planer, right?

@MrShoptaw 9 жыл бұрын

Matt de Oliveira Yes, in the end, but there are more steps involved. The boiler produces steam that drives a stationary steam engine. That engines drives a belt system that powers the planer.

MrShoptaw How safe is it to operate a boiler? By that I do not mean what could go wrong. I am asking how safe it is if the proper precautions are followed.

Je trouve que ce système est génial. La scierie produit elle-même sa propre énergie . Cette énergie provient des déchets de coupe. C'est vraiment super comme méthode

@@MrShoptaw J'ai travaillé 38 ans à l' Administration des Eaux et Forêts. Je suis né dans une famille forestière. Tous ce qui touche à la forêt m'intéresse beaucoup. Actuellement, ce sont les grandes sociétés qui ont le monopole forestier. Les petites scieries peuvent "crever". J' habite en Belgique dans le pays des forêts en Ardenne eu ce qui se passe chez nous est tout à fait similaire dans toute l'Europe! Aux USA est-ce similaire ou non ?
