    is a compendium of just about anything you need to know about setting up, maintaining, and running a commercial sawmill, written by someone who has been doctoring ailing sawmills for most of his life. If you are a sawyer, filer, millwright, or mill manager, the

    should be in your possession at all times. It covers such topics as:
    Sawmill troubleshooting tools

    Circular saw manufacturing
    Saw welding

    Whether you are an old hand at running a sawmill, or a rookie, or even just about to start setting one up, this book is a must have.
