Sawing the largest segment from a Ponderosa Pine at the Historic Mill and Box Factory. The tree suffered extensive storm damage last winter making it necessary to harvest the tree before all the useful wood was lost. It measured 60" at the widest part at the base. It was mostly cut into large planks for builders of specialty furniture and luxury homes.

Glad you noticed that. I don't know the age or vintage of those devices. The mill is not a demonstration mill. It operates year around for lumber and box production and the use of certain modern devices is necessary to help maintain competiveness or reduce labor intensive tasks. In this video you see the saw being sharpened using a steam turbine electric powered tool but they still have and know how to use the hand powered sharpener if needed.

Thank you so much for keeping a part of our history a live. My Grandpa and Grandma came out from Mississippi in 1920, he had worked in Mississippi in mills starting at 12 years old as his father had died and he was the oldest. Jobs there were getting hard to find so they came out to Scotia, CA My Mom was born their in 1926. He worked as a pond monkey at the big redwood mill their, also operated a steam donkey, in southern Oregon, and went on to build mills in Marysville CA, Tionesta, CA Klamath Falls, OR, Ashland OR and Kirby OR I believe all are gone now My Mom had some pic's of the mills but I have no idea where thy went so again Thanks for the look at our past.

Gosh, I haven't seen a sawmill operation like that since I was a kid in the mid '50s. My brother's father-in-law had one in Grand Junction, Tennessee and Dad and I would occasionally go there on weekends and watch them process lumber. They made it look easy, but I know it was backbreaking work for the men. Those were some of the happiest country-boys I ever saw! Thanks for sharing this well-made video! Regards, Mick Bradford

I was born after WW2, an era when steam, although on the way out, was still reasonably common. Your video is nostalgic, evocative of by-gone days and fascinating to those who love the allure of the sound, smell and motion of steam machinery. Also, to see a self-sufficient operation with the waste wood & "dust" fueling the boiler, the only oil used for lube. Truth to tell, though, your operation is likely more costly to run than if a big diesel engine was used as the power source. Cheers, Col, NZ.

I worked at Utah Pine Co. at age 16. Mill was almost exactly the same with head rig, top rig, circular saws with insert teeth. That was in 1952 and the power was an International Harvester engine. The setter rode the carriage and I was the off bear-man and edger operator. The Pine logs came from a Forest Service Sale and the lumber went to a box factory in Cortez Colorado. Iguana

Same theory we basically used 40 years ago cutting large to small cedars into all available cuts and grades. From 1X3 six foot to 1X12 20 foot. I can still smell the saw sound. Awww... Memories. That tingle of the saw on the back cut always intrigues me.

I have watched these videos with amazement, but this is the first time I've seen the steam turbine turning the generator for your saw tooth grinder, Outstanding!!!!

Good, I'm glad you watched the video. I hope some day to video the machine shop in operation.

Increadibly facinating - both the steam powered mill, the turbine and the sharpening, and not the least the size of that pine! Remarkable difference in stress toll on the workers though - that master doesn't wear any extra fat on his body!

Thanks! I noticed that the old coexists with the modern achievements in the extent required for successful business. For example, a circular saw with a teeths from hard alloy, sharpener with diamond wheel, pneumatics and electronics in production of boxes, and so on.

I will be sharing info from this video with an Amish (friend) saw miller. I am going to look for more on the steam unit. 140 psi is a lot. The 60 hp boiler for my neighboring mill is 15 (low) .We have sawed 60" cottonwood on our mill without a top saw. A lot more waste and a chainsaw gives one a workout.. You found a great story line and did a great job documenting it. THANK YOU
