Sawmill Machinery In Stock - HO Scale Coming!
With the conversion of the CHB Sawmill Machinery to 3D Printed parts complete, backorders have been and continue shipping like crazy. I actually have a couple extra sets as of this morning. Individual kits will be available very soon as well.
The HO Scale versions will also be available, but not until the first half of 2023.
If you have or will be receiving an O Scale Sawmill Machinery set, I wanted to let you all know I am putting together a package of the stripwood, brass wire, and nbw's necessary to complete the kits. Originally, CHB released these kits as casting only and I continued that tradition until now. I have the stripwood on order so I anticipate availability soon.
Between the new 3D Printed parts and the stripwood packages, I am so happy with how enjoyable these little gems will be to assemble. So let's see your machinery kits as you receive and complete them!

This was the last part converted - the carriage knee guides. They're ready for post processing, having the supports removed, secondary curing, and sorting.
And in HO too !!!
I cant imagine the vast amount of work that went into converting these masterpieces over to the new 3DP technology. That picture shows the quality and accuracy we have come to expect from Brett/SWSM and we are never disappointed.
The availability of the new 'accessory' package including the wood, brass and NBWs make this a must have buy for a 'one stop' order.
Will the upcoming wood and 'accessory' package be available to buy separately for those of us who already have the machinery sitting on a shelf waiting to be built ??
That would be awesome.
Thanks for always pushing forward and improving our hobby.
That would be awesome.
Is this going to be a possibility???

Now this has me thinking shingle mill using the boiler house as the power plant.

About 90% of the previous white metal castings are now supplied in my new 3D Printed tooling resin. This is a massive improvement. (Massive!)
The wood and brass wire accessory package will be available for anyone who has the sawmill machinery set. It will also include updated templates with ¼" scale drawings. Another way the set has been updated and improved to "modern" standards. Look for this after the first of the year. Just ordered the wood and am awaiting that shipment.
The set includes new instructions on painting and weathering the 3D Printed parts to simulate the buffed metal. Super easy. I am also working on a new video to support this.
