Progress on my sawmill Edger saw build, Log Stop and saw Dust Blower and ducting
Started laying floorboards. The white patches to the right of the picture is putty, silly me used petroleum paint on the foam base board and it ate into the foam, so used putty to fill the craters with. Nevertheless, uneven ground looks more realistic. Also, I only made the ground layer rise to a height of 1/2 inch above the base, to me that looked more real for sawmills built in Australia they tended to be on flat ground near creeks.
The floorboard height above the ground I made at 5 feet, the drawings with SierraWest made it 6 feet. By doing this the floor height is about that of a wagon height so sawn timber can be loaded easily into wagons, I will be adding track to collect the sawn timber.
Mill engine now built and ready to install on the Sawmill project.
Looking great Kevin!
Def not a contest, we all learn something new here.
