Log to Lumber

Milling planks the ancient ways, with steam. This sawmill is using steam power to cut logs into planks. Attached by a twisted drive band to the engine, the loggers keep the wood hard-pressed against the cutting guides whilst the saw does its job. With smoke, steam and sawdust filling the air, and the ragged sound of wood cutting accompanied by the repetitive chough of the engine, this really is quite something to watch.
