A Brian Rupnow Sawmill

I hope this puts a smile on Brian face,
When Brian started his sawmill way back in 2012 I fell in love with it so I decided I was going to build one for my 3" scale Case Traction Engine,

Very cool mill! Any Youtube video's of it in action??

 

[Brian Rupnow]

I do have a VERY big smile!!! Excellent work!!--wonderful!!! Thank you so much for the pictures. For anybody that wants to see a video of the original sawmill working, just type in "brian rupnow youtube" and there is a video of it sawing a log powered by a model hit and miss engine.--I see that you are in new Zealand,--Wow--You couldn't get any farther away from me!!?--Does this make me "World Famous" now??;D;D-Brian

Thanks Brian,
You are world famous ! I used to live not to far away from you!
In Orangeville Ont Canada before retiring to New Zealand six years ago,

The wood in the sawmill is 50mm x 100mm x 300mm long,

I plan to make a longer frame and carriage to cut 600mm long wood,
