Lossie Fuller, Maleeda The sawmill is powered by Ford truck engine and rotates at 450 rpm's, There are about 42 teeth on the saw itself and they have to be sharpened with, a tile three times a day if the mill is in use. Changing the teeth is an expensive proposi- tion, Sometimes the saw goes out of whack from heating tip or getting stuck on a log and then Mr. Reynolds must get someone in to hammer it back into position. "When you tighten spokes on the wheels of a bike to make the wheel true you are using the same principle used to hammera saw wheel true." However. this too is expensive as it costs $45 to have a saw hammered true.

If he finds any it dosen't take him long to get the chainsaw going and remove them. Then he "dogs"' the log to hold it firmly in place. This is done by hammering spikes connected to the carriage into the log. Mr. Reynolds sets the saw for size of plank the farmer wants cut, allowing 4'41 inch for the saw cut. For example, if the farmer wants 1" planks the saw is set a I Next the cutting begins.

This is done by running the earriage containing the log past the saw wheel several times un- til there is a continuous square surface, the log being ,moved to the edge of the carriage after every cut is made. Then the dogs are removed and the log is turned to expose another side of the bog until three sides have been squared off. When this had been done, the actual plank cutting can begin. This is the easiest part. As the carriage runs past the saw se- veral times, a I" plank is cut from the log every time. Mr. Reynolds. moves the log over the edge of the carriage after each cut is made and Colin piles the newly- cut planks, From a log 8" in diameter at one end and 5" in diameter at the other end you can get about three I" by 6" planks It takes about 10 minu-tes.
