John, Very cool, thanks for posting! I think I met the hardwood cutting/drying/dimensioning branch of the family over in Green Valley IL.  Although it wasn't steam powered it was definitely vintage wood prep with colorful characters; it was a great source of very good quality hardwood until it shut down. |

Very interesting, I really enjoy seeing old machinery like that still in operation. It's a real treat!! Thank You for the link.

That was my first thought too but the film maker says in one of the comment sections that he was born with the short tail. They must have some sort of exemption to not have OSHA all over them. Check out several other videos of the mill by the same poster on You Tube. There is one there with them sawing up a 5 ft diameter Douglas Fir log; now I know who to call if I need a 20 ft 3x48!  |

There was a time when there were thousands of these type of manufacturers all over the USA, especially up north closer to the raw materials. Here in Maine there were certainly hundreds of such operations....toothpicks, bats, popsicle sticks, etc. Now mostly gone by way of the Dodo bird.
Enjoyed the video.

I wondered the same thing. He looks like an old experienced dawg now. Amazing to count twenty fingers on those two guys. T |

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed. Easily done in DSP.

Here's a video of the B F Clyde cider mill in operation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpNsFE2gP0USome of you have had their cider, up at Hosstraders/Nearfest over the years. Made a mental note to myself to pick up a few jugs for the trip up in a few weeks and then realized this is the spring fest coming up, not the fall. They only press in the fall. The box mill video was great, these old rigs give a whole new meaning to the word STRAP! |

At one time there were lots of such mills scattered throughout the country and quite a few throughout New York and New England. Many of the old factory buildings still stand, some abandoned, some subdivided and used for office space, small business, small manufacturing , etc. Some have even been declared historical landmarks, a throwback and a haunting reminder of the old days when America was a major center of manufacturing.

Thanks for the terrific video, John. I have forwarded it to my steam friends. Kinda reminds me of my 9x12 C&P letterpress, with its unguarded 3 ft. flywheel, 2"-wide spur gear (also unguarded) next to the feed table, and an unforgiving press mechanism driving a platen where paper was placed during its brief open interval. Typical of thousands of presses in job shops all over the country until the end of the war. OSHA indeed! Just don't put your paws where they shouldn't be!. Other videos of the Phillips mill are at: www.phillipsbrosmill.comBob - NE |
