something missing.
Jim,
There was something that bugged me about your main sawmill building, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
I rerurned to it several times, without figuring it out. and I finally figured out, there isn't a hole A the top of the Jackslip for the log to go into the building.
did you plan it that way? that is a problematic spot for all saw mills that don't have interior detailing, and an especial problem for ones like ours which have foamcore walls. I framed the hole on mine with lumber, before I planked the outside, so the foam doesn't show, but the wall is thicker than it should be. I have a set of Keystone locomotive works sawmill machinery for mine, but that opens up a whole nother can of worms.
Your sawmill looks to my eye like one that was based on an actual prototype. Mine is a hodgepodge, I drew sketches of photos of mills I thought were interesting, and tried to encorporate elements of several into something that fit my space, which wasn't quite as wide as I needed. Much later as I was trying to plan fit of the bandsaw I realized I had incorporated features of single band saw mills, and double band saw mills, so my mill has a split personality. That , and the fact that I didn't design in a saw filer's loft drive me crazy.
I think I'm going to set mine up as a single band saw mill, and once I know where the bandsaw is going, I might study my roof, and see if I could git a loft up there. the loft would be a cool feature, as the roof would be mostly skylights, so interior detailing would show well. fortunately my sawmill is removeable, so it can make the trip to the workbench with only a half hour needed to remove or reinstall it.
Glad to hear you are getting ready to plant the buildings, they look good, and ought to make an awsome scene.
