I am looking for SAW MILL pics & or drawings. I am hoping to get information around to build an old time saw mill. I the late 1800’s early 1900’s era. I would like to put it up on one of my corners.
Great sawmill pics, Mik! Very cool.
I was thinking of more on the line of a large band saw. or reciprocating saw, that could handle the large first cut sized trees found in PA.
Something like a 10 ft cut.
Thank you gentlemen for all your help.

Have you looked in the Pennsylvania logging railroad books by Thomas Taber? There are sawmill pics in some of those. Pretty sure there are some band mill pics.
I think this is the same unit as Miks pictures but this is at Williams Grove.

See if you can find the West Virginia photo archive I remember it having a gazillion sawmill photos, but lost the bookmark.
Thanks guys for the input.
I’ll start checking it out.

Garden-Texture makes some nice plans for a sawmill.
