Fast Steam Powered Air Set Hardwood Sawmill - Closeup

NOTE: My videos are not monetized! Most of my videos are to help multiple nonprofits, thus allocating any income would be a nightmare. YT is throwing ads where they shouldn't be! Worse, many of the ads are obnoxious or offensive. I am considering dropping out of YT.

Air set mill, air dogs, hydraulic chain log turner.

The Air Compressor and Hydraulic Pump are driven by the steam engine off the saw spindle, along with the edger.

The only sawmill function not driven by steam is the gas engine powered sawdust blower. Many Amish communities permit the use of small gas engines for work like this, but not for transportation. The tractors are normally diesel (no electric spark ignition), and on solid or filled tires.

Note use of the air powered log kickers for turning the log the opposite direction from usual. Saves considerable time compared to going around 270 degrees.

Best examples of the kicker working are at 8:35, 14:35 and 15:10.

A brief look at saw sharpening at the end.
