Comments:

Ed Weaver is the owner of this saw. He bought the property where a waterpowered wood shop had collapsed with all the machinery inside. When I was there in July '05, this saw was a bump in the flattened roof of the mill. Ed has removed it with a crane, so that the rest of the mill could be excavated. It is a 40 inch resaw with feed rollers. The saw is very restorable. I have another just like it, except this one is in better shape.

Comments: The name plate is cast aluminum. Actually this is the plate from my own saw, but it is the same as Ed's.
