Learning the Family Business

Hi Guys,

Another steam sawmill video for you.

My B-i-L shot this on Wednesday, unfortunately I had a Doctors appointment and couldn’t be there.

Sure wish I could have been.

Sarah has decided to learn the family business and has worked at all the lessor jobs in the mill but is now ready to learn one of the finer crafts in the saw milling trade. Setter, the job of setting the saw carriage to the correct position to cut the thickness of board needed. Her Dad Greg helps her with the set machinery and her Grandfather Gary, is the Sawyer who calls for the cut thickness and runs the saw carriage back and forth. Sarah is the 7th generation of this family to learn the business and operate this mill.

Hope you enjoy

Rick
