Other timber industry structures will be constructed for the Museum’s vertical sawmill, shingle mill, siding mill, band saw, and other machines such as a wood splitter, buzz saw, and planer. The sawmill building will be the first of several that will constitute an area called Industry Row. Based on Redfin's Lake Forest data, we estimate the home's value is 971,404. This home is currently off market - it last sold on Jfor 550,000. The engine behind the building will have its own separate, smaller building though connected to the main mill building for noise reduction. 25552 Sawmill Ln is a 2,130 square foot house on a 5,400 square foot lot with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It will have two drive options: an engine located behind the building connected to the mill by a shaft extending under it and an engine or tractor at one end of the building belted to a pulley on the drive shaft. The length of the mill itself will be increased by 8-10 feet to facilitate handling of longer logs and lumber. Construction will begin in September, soon after the Exhibition.
Construction will be of rough-sawn timbers. Rolldown barn curtains will cover the building when not in use. The open, high front will face spectators. It will have a shed roof which slopes to the rear as on most old mill buildings. The building will be 25-30 feet wide and about 50-55 feet long. Plans for the sawmill building moved forward when Roger Austin, Reg Chester, AI Garrand, and Paul Moore met during July to discuss its design and location. Our total cost was around $1800.00 to complete the project.Īs reported by Roger Austin from the July – Aug 2009 newsletter We had a lot of fun trying different tractor and even a Ford flathead power plant on it. Bob Shirley and I did a lot of weekend and night work to get it running. Many thanks go to Ross Goodyear for all his help and to Bill Pharoah for his help with the machine work. The Lane Sawmill worked exceptionally well for putting it together from a pile of parts. The rig will need the carriage rebuilt later on, but that can be done later. Bob Shirley and I did most of the rest of it. Ross Goodyear helped set it up and did the welding. Bill Pharoah did the machine work that had to be done.

We were lucky to get some professional help with it. All that is left is the tires, hitch and some of the walkways on it. The Lane Mill will be ready for the show. We hope to have it ready for the June show. Bob, Bill, Tom and I went to Parish to see it. I would be willing to build a shed to keep it in. Ross indicated that he may be able to help set it up and operate it. Bob will deliver it to me by the end of March or early April. If we can build it portable, we can use it at both shows. I feel that with a $2,000.00 cap on this project, it should be worth it to us. I got approval from 14 members to purchase the mill. He has a Lane Mill similar to Ross’s mill for $1,000.00. After looking at 2 or 3 mills, I got to talk to Bob Bishman.
I feel that a sawmill is a great attraction to our show, so with permission from various club members, I started looking for a mill. His mill is not available to us this year. I called Ross Goodyear after the meeting. Mill information from the 1997 newsletters as reported by Paul Shirley.
