Century-Old Sawmills Still Running - How Vintage Sawmills Processing Timber in Old-Fashioned Way

AMAZING! The Ivan Corkum family operates a fully functional water-powered sawmill in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia—and here's the kicker: it's built almost entirely from LOCAL WOOD! That's right, this sawmill literally built itself. From the 16-foot waterwheel to the carriage system, everything is hand-crafted from timber processed on-site.

Watch how this incredible operation harnesses nothing but water power to cut thousands of board feet of lumber—Eastern White Pine, Red Spruce, Hemlock, and hardwoods like Sugar Maple. No electricity bills, no fossil fuels, just renewable water flowing through hand-built wooden flumes and turning a massive wheel that powers the entire mill. This is sustainable lumber production the way it was done for centuries!

The Corkum family keeps traditional North American sawmilling alive, maintaining knowledge passed down through generations. See how wooden pulleys, leather belts, and hand-forged iron components work together in perfect harmony. Every piece tells a story of self-sufficiency and craftsmanship that's rapidly disappearing from our modern world.
