This is what approximately 35,000 board-feet look like |
Once the mill gets started on our project, this is the main equipment that will be used on our logs |
The big saw |
A large electric motor drives a pair of perpendicular saws, with the whole carriage moving along the log to cut it |
One of the larger planers I've ever seen |
A conveyor takes the scrap from the planer to a chipper |
A large band saw, for cutting to dimension |
A moulder to finish the lumber |
Mr. Sivara, patiently waiting for me to finish taking pictures |
The other side of the moulder |
Moulding bits...for all sorts of shapes and finishes |
Some serious band-saw blades |
