| 2. Sawmill |
 |
 |
Only real storey of the sawmill looks familiar. Long space with one framesaw and log feeding equipment, and sorting area at the end.
|
|---|
 |
Something not so typical can also be found. The framesaw is not a Bolinder, Karhula, Bruk's, Dalni, Kone&Terä or any other typical make.
|
|---|
 |
Can you find the manufacturer info? Nope, since the supposed manufacturer is some late local carpenter. The saw body is wooden. It is unclear where the iron parts have come from.
|
|---|
 |
There were two log carriages, one at both sides of the saw. They have replaced the not-existing reeltracks.
|
|---|
 |
Diameter wheels, which had not been renovated, that meaning lubricated so that they would've turned.
|
|---|
 |
Last set.

 |
Something that we also found from Strömma. Nice conincidence. But this model is more of the Santa Claus type than the one in Kimito.
|
|---|
 |
Wooden wheels also in the sawmill. According to inspections of mr. Kantonen, the sawmill is very old, but renovated in 1938. These wheels are probably older.
|

 |
Even this small sawmill has been equipped with edger.

Mechanics of the edger.

 |
Basic concept of logway is same as in all sawmills. Here just the transportation has been slightly modest, apparently the chain has pulled up one or a few logs at a time.
|
|---|
 |
Same subject seen from yard. Firewood storage of the cottage (or it's actually a small house) occupies this corner.
|
|---|
 |
Apparently the buildings have never been painted, which feels odd.
|
|---|
 |
Here the side duct of creek dives under the mill. Humans and giant fishes can't have drifted there in accident, other creatures would have been milled in the wheel.
|
|---|
 |
Front yard wall of the sawmill, which looks towards the house that has formerly been a (saw)miller's residence.
|
|---|
 |
It could be another farming building looking from outside, and without precise information a place like this could not be found atl all.
