SAWMILL – Club members Art Miller and Harold Choate along with Todd Shupe went to see a sawmill Tommy Trueil built. He built the sawmill over the last 4 years. It is powered by a 60 horsepower gasoline motor driving a hydraulic pump. All the controls and accessories are hydraulic. It will cut up to about 30″ diameter logs. In addition to the sawmill, the Trueil’s have a solar powered lumber drying kiln that they also built. It has 4 solar powered fans that pull air through the drying chamber to speed up the drying process. They spent about 2 hours getting acquainted with the family and watching the sawmill operate. Harold says they are really great people and have a very impressive operation.
