R.R. HOWELL MILL

[Bullheaded]

I am considering purchasing this mill but can find NO online info about it. At first, I thought it was a bolt mill, but further investigation makes me think its a well done scale model of a Howell No.3.

This appears to be a #3 sawmill and not a model.  It is incomplete however judging by the pictures in the above .pdfs.

Rusti.....I dont think you looked at the tape measure in the pics. Go back and look at the tape from the mandrel to the splitter.

I have just purchased a RR Howell sawmill in northern Idaho and am currently in the process of dismantling it to Hall home. I look forward to sharing with you fellows my pictures and drawing on your experience to get this set back up and operational. Any helpful information and or history on these mills would be appreciated! Add photos when I get a chance to sit down at a computer and resize them to meet the forum size limit

If you use the gallery, it resizes for you. If you use the drag and drop, you have to mess around.
