My Dad's fabricated sawmill

So my old man is semi retired now and dead set on building a log cabin up on his hillside overlooking the scioto river bottoms. He is too tight to buy a sawmill and has all the talent to build one himself so thats what he's doin. He wants to build the cabin from timber from his own land.

He started with an old travel trailer frame and cut it down to the width he wanted and welded support timbers so the logs can rest on it.



Next he fabricated a carriage the mill would be put on to roll down the trailer


Next up was to put the motor and pulleys on and he mounted an atv winch to raise and lower the blade.

We got the brand new Predator 22hp motor for cheap on Craigslist outta Kentucky.

Thanks for lookin in. Just braggin on my old man a little. Will update when he gets more done to it
