| 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.

| | ==Overview== |
|
| |
|
| =Product Definition=
| | 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. |
| [[Sawmill - Product Definition]] | |
|
| |
|
| | To convert the green wood into finished dried lumber the cut boards are either [[kiln| air-dried]] or fired in a [[kiln]]. |

| 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]:

| | |
| [[Image:hydgearpump.jpg]]
| |
| | |
| All hoses are already available - it is part of our flexible open source tractor infrastructure. Here are the motor specifications, from Surpluscenter.com:

| | |
| Here is the hookup diagram:

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

| (Once products are demonstrated, we will solicit stakeholders to fund production capacity. This is a highly innovative social enterprise model, where stakeholders contribute a small amount, say $50, to the actual building of a facility for producing a specific item under the model of flexible fabrication. This is essentially a question of distributing the development and production cost via a collaborative enterprise model.)
