Hello all,
New guy here from southern Indiana.  I'm looking into getting a small bandsaw mill.  I'm really stumped by the number of offerings available.  I am kinda leaning toward a Turner or Hud-son.  What about 'mister sawmill'?  It looks like a good unit, but not sure about how long he's been around.

Anyway,
My great grandfather had a big old circle mill (54" blade?) Had a motor off a half-track.  I'm not sure how many pictures exist of it running, but I'll see what I can find.
My neighbor down the road also has a similar big circle mill, I think he uses a 383 engine and a manual tranny, has to have a clutch lever.  Really quit an amazing contraption!  He's 85 and still runs it nearly daily when he has orders.

Hope to learn lots and maybe teach something,
Patrick

Welcome to the forum!

Mr. Sawmill has been around for many years and makes a great little mill!  Jay can give you some info as he has a friend who is blind that runs one!
