Juneco/ Keystone Danby sawmill

[cnrglen]

I think I have come to the point where the previous builder stopped.I suspect that the rest of the parts are here, with the exception of some of the wood.

I fabricated the new pulleys:

   

Just a bit of filler styrene and some shaping with the demel

   

I pinned each one to the end foundation frame after painting them black. I then attached the cable drum to the center/ middle of the guideway.

I've spent the last week building the internal machinery. Starting with the saw husk:

   

and the steam engine
   

and finally the log carriage 

   

   

The carriage was the most challenging with the wire handles and linkages. The log is a pruning from some bush in a friend's back yard. I need to find out what it is, I could use some more.

   

With all the machenery done, it's time to install it. I started with the Husk. The plans give the right location but you have to cut a slot in the mill floor to clear the saw blade. the engine comes next, lining up the drive pulley on the engine with the pulley on the husk.
Next will be the carriage.
