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
