Hope Mill - Pioneer Water-Powered Sawmill near Lang, Ontario
Hope Mill is a pioneer water-powered sawmill on the Indian River one mile north of Lang Ontario. Established in 1835 as a carding and fulling mill for processing wool it was converted to a saw mill in the 1880's, after the sawmill in Lang burned. The mill was run by the Hope family until the 1960's. In 2000, after being unused for many years, a volunteer group of retirees started to restore it. That work now completed, the milll is run by their non-profit Friends of Hope Mill whose mission is to preserve the history and demonstrate pioneer sawing.

Glass Fountain

Views of a modern, zen-like glass fountain in which water spills from an uppper "infinity" glass basin into a lower glass basin. The bottom of the upper basin in covered in blue glass pebbles, while the lower basin contains white marble pebbles that integrate with the pebbles used elsewhere on this rooftop terrace.
Very nice. Love old things like this. What us the long board in the front of the sawing carriage for?
The long beam runs under the carriage and extends out both ends. It carries a cast iron rack gear underneath which you can see at 6:20. It is driven by a spur gear that sticks up thru the floor to move the carriage back and forth. The length of the beam and rack determines how far the carriage can move.
@kenpirie1075 ok thank you . That is really impressive. You all did a great job in the restoration loved the video.
That's bad ass sawmilling. My first mill job was in a similar mill. I was the tail sawyer and edgerman. one guy did the canting, the owner did the sawing, and one other guy tailed the edger and piled the lumber and any railroad ties that got cut. I was making $2.75 an hour and 17 years old.
It’s amazing watching these mills run. With the speed mills run today it’s nice getting to watch something just run and not have to go a million miles per hour
Found out that William Lang and Jane Stewart are my 4th great grandparents. Pretty cool.
i would like work with you...just for pleasure......ther's just one big trouble with this mill....removing gravel from dam in case of storm
That is awesome there are so many moving parts on that thing
Good job guys I wonder what the horsepower rating of that mill with the full amount of water powering it?
We are not really sure what the horsepower is. Theoretically about 40. Whatever it is we need about 4 times more.
hi there what a nice mill , and quiet . maybe some day i will see it run in person , thanks for the great show john
You must have a long list of volunters to draw from, working in a mill with little or no PPE and wearing shorts doesnt usuall lead to a long life for your parts
20 years, no major injuries, scrapes and small cuts. Safety boots & glasses. Ken...Lead sawyer.
Nice working sawmill, keep up the good work!
Looks like a good way to get your legs crushed or hit by a set of tongs.
My grand dad had a mill here in Alabama that run on water wish I would of learned the ins and outs 0f how it run
Just Awesome .......Thanks!
from all video about saw mill run by water, this is by far the fastest cut mill using water powered
Good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video - thank you! I do have to say I miss swimming there. I think every local kid from the 70's and 80's swam there all summer!
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 21 May 22.
This was a very interesting video to watch. What we do today with gas, or electric power............ They was doing a long time ago and just using water, and more man power. Makes you appreciate the old days.
@SuperAaaaa123456 Yes, I made it myself several years ago. It worked very well, looked and sounded nice, just like you see in the pictures, although it required more work than I expected to keep it clean.
did u make it yourself
gay
Looks really nice! Like it +++
it's beautiful
