belived to be the last fully operational steam powered Sawmill and Box
factory in America. The planer seen in this video is a 1895 Hall & Brown
planer being powered by a 1910 Ames Iron Works horizontal steam engine.

Thanks for posting this.
In my sawmill career I have ran several
belt driven planers(none steam powered).
A babbitt bearing Woods molder,
A 1936 woods 412 four side planer,
and a 1950 yates a-20.
Still have a scar on my back where a belt parted
and slapped my ass to the floor.
