Hi all,
Back again with the newest installment in the steam sawmill series, this one is the box factory.
In this building (box factory) all the main power is supplied by steam froma central boiler. There is however
a large diesel generator that provides electric power. This generator was added several years ago and the building enclosed so the boxes could be built in the winter when other operations were slow or at a stand still. The generator provides electricity for the lights and heaters as well as the branding machine, staplers, and other small tools like chop saws. All the main saws and planers are steam powered as are the box nailing machines, which unfortunatly we don’t get to see operated in this video.
Anyway take a look and enjoy.

Quite a mix of technologies; the steam powered belt driven machines and a digital temperature gauge
