Great stuff as always. I've got to go see that place.

One problem though. Some of the stuff that's in the museum I can remember using when I was just a bit younger. There's a message there and I'm not real sure I like it. :msp_biggrin:

wonder if they're needing interpreters ......

yes that is a steam splitter . add a boiler and it still works. it was last used in longveiw pulp mill in the 70's for splitting old growth rounds so they could get them in the chipper for pulp.

What's the deal with the saw with 2 bars?

Shaun

for cutting the joints when building trestles . or just about anything.

Thanks for the info! very cool stuff.

Not Oregon history but if interested the WA state archives found an old Shaffer Bros. Logging movie. There are actually two; one is from the forties (I believe) and the one they found is older. Black and white with no sound! haha It's pretty awesome. It comes on dvd and I think it was like 10 or 15 bucks.

Looks like we won't make it up for the IH show or the SteamUp this year (although I'd really like to). Planning on making the whole SteamUp next year though. We'd like to make the IH show too, but the GWBB always falls on the same week as the kid's church activities. I want to meet both of you and see how much the Powerland has grown in the last 7-8 years.:cool2:

Do you know John D? He's on the far left of this pic (the truck is the club's IHC M5 military rig).
