A sawmill enables custom lumber production on site using locally available timber. An easily replicable lumber mill creates real value for the producer at a low cost of entry, a necessity for self sustaining community decentralized economy. Decentralized sawmilling may obviate clear-cut lumber companies in a new economy. Wood construction is one of the earliest methods of building shelter. Current lumber production is highly concentrated industry save the specialty wood shops producing for novelty wood workers. Unsound harvesting practices and high transportation costs make commercial lumber environmentally costly. Timber can be locally harvested and with a simply designed, low cost sawmill we can produce fine quality lumber sustainably and economicaly.

We have a [[hydraulically-driven]] PTO motor as a start. It will be powered by [[LifeTrac]]. LifeTrac has this pump from Northerntool - [http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200329724_200329724]:

'''Note''': Since we have 3600 PSI available, we can run 2 of these motors in series to match available power more closely.

Overview

A sawmill converts felled logs from trees into green wood lumbar. As a piece of the GVCS, it unlocks a range of well-established wood construction techniques.

To convert the green wood into finished dried lumber the cut boards are either air-dried or fired in a kiln.
