WOW! And I thought my operation was labor intensive!
I don't like the way those guys worked so close to the blade. Gave me the Willies!

That's a lot of work for a few boards!

When they were pulling the log away from the pile, I thought they were expecting snakes, because the handles on the tools they were using were so long.

Not a huge fan of pushing the log into the blade . Allot of the old ways were so unsafe .

  Interesting video. Makes the term "Manual Mill" take on a whole new meaning.

I think I've finally found a mill that's harder and slower to run than my own!

I doubt it is any more unsafe than using a large non-sawmill bandsaw where you are feeding the wood into the blade and standing only a foot away in front of the blade and your hands only inches away.

     Interesting video but for me, no thanks.  I bet Satamax would enjoy it though!  Probably bring back some old memories for him!
