New sawmill


 I wanted a larger sawmill for my layout and liked both of these. I like the open second floor on the Coon Gap sawmill and the general shape of the other one.
 an area was cleared, track rearranged, a log pond dug and a simple mockup in place.  Looks like it will fit.
Bass wood hand sawn, cut to length and three walls layed out.
150 timbers and beams latter, the basic timber frame is complete.  More to follow as work progresses.
To put in the sawmill I will have to move the tie mill, the spar tree at Jackpine , and reconfigure the old Couger Ridge Lumber company, I want the saw plant for the second floor which will be open. This will give a longer run for my shay all the way from Happy Camp to O,Brien.
