Hi, I'm eagerly awaiting the O scale sawmill kit but already know that I shall be modifying it to include some features I remember from NewZealand sawmills back in my youth. One is to include a frame saw for cutting boards to width instead of the edger which did not work well with NZ timbers. My edger will be left rusting out in the grass next to the mill in my model!. The frame saw had multiple vertical reciprocating blades but I have been unable to find any good info on them to model one. The two photos I do have are of saws made by the same NZ company but are totally different in design.
Does anyone have any other photos, drawings or catalogue prints of this type of saw that they could post? I've tried posting the 2 photos I have here but not sure it is going to work as I keep getting a message saying the uploaded file type(jpeg) is not allowed?
Thanks
Jeff

I'm now intrigued to find out more about this machine as it seems an interesting and unusual project.
Please post more as you find it. I'll also keep looking.
