Someone asked for more sawmill - the earliest water powered sawmills, including this one, used “up-and-down saws.” Powered by gears and some accessory parts belts driven by water power, the saw was set up to move up and down as it sawed through a log pushed to it by other water-driven machinery - This sawmill @oldsturbridgevillage is In Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The town, back in 1830, had as many as 13 sawmills in operation - by 1840 as a entire country there were over 31,000 sawmills operatin

This Norwegian sawmill dates back to the late 1500s and runs entirely on water power. Water-powered sawmills like this one revolutionized timber production during medieval times, fueling everything from shipbuilding to the expansion of towns — all without electricity. Before steam engines and factories, rivers were the engines of industry. Video: YouTube | Hardanger farteyvernsenter Follow @thatisnewton ,All credits to respective creators/owners.

Engaging the up down saw. It’s not often you find an 1800’s water powered saw operating in summer but here the water power comes from a mill pond that is river fed, allowing for a more consistent pond level. #sawmill #woodworking #wood #history #museum #lumber #logging #liveedge #woodworker #timber #forestry #woodwork #slabs #bandsawmill #woodshop #hardwood #reclaimedwood #liveedgewood #loggers #diy #logginglife #carpentry #portablesawmili #chainsaw #livinghistory #sawmilling #antebellum #1800s

Watching a water powered sawmill never gets old - Did you know that a lot of sawmills in the early 1800s operated seasonally - when brooks, rivers and ponds, were flush with water and not typically in the summer - this saw happens to source its water from a nearby mill pond that gets its water from the Quinnebaug River via a channel that was dug by a scoop and ox by David Wight after he had won the Harvard Lottery and purchased the land. #sawmill #woodworking #wood #history #museum #lumber #logg
