Grandfather's sawmill

[KYErik]

Very nice set up- how big is that blade? Any idea what brand that sawmill is?

I don't not know the brand right off hand. The blade is a little over 3ft across. We can only cut planks about 12 inches across on a single pass. We can do large if we cut about half the log and then flip it end or end on the carriage.

For todays history lesson, REO is the initials of Ransom Eli Olds who founded Olds Motor Vehicle company, sold it, was later bought by GM and then started REO Motor Car Company. Some models were called "Speedwagon" immortalized in music by the band REO Speedwagon.

The Speedwagon was a model that became highly popular because there was a need for a fast truck during the Prohibition....
