Sawmill Forum?

[farminkarman]

Good morning gentlemen,

It's looking like an American #1 sawmill will be joining the family in the near future. I am wondering if any of you guys can recommend a good forum for sawmill stuff. Else, if any of you have experience working on/with circular sawmills, I am hungry for information

Thanks,
Greg

Even though this is an older thread, for future inquiries and views, forestry forum is a good site for just about everything sawmill related.

I am surprised this FS website still works, they recently changed over to a different format and it broke most old links and came up with a bunch of partially finished pages (they wanted it to look cleaner and prettier). They planned on 4 months for the cutover but at the last minute were told they had only 1 month to do it...it was a cluster.
