Well, the big bandsaws and planers take me back.....cutting all them short bits reminds me of cutting pallet wood from sawlogs, we had to cut various lengths but the most frequent was 540 mm long, a number forever etched on my brain!
We used to get paid £160 per cubic meter sawn, crosscut, stacked and banded on pallets. We used to buy the sawlogs in at around £22 per cubic meter in the round, the waste from offcuts, sawdust etc was around 50% so at the end of the day not a lot of money for the work but our kids needed feeding so needs must.
I like the steam engine in that setup, I guess if the operator fell into it he would be.....chuffed to bits....
Thanks for posting that David.
