Saw Mill and Lumber Shed for next to nothing
Posted by sfcgadget on Friday, August 21, 2009 10:55 AM

I wanted to have a saw mill and lumber shed for my Bearly on Track Railroad but didn't feel the need to spend close to $500 if purchased as kits. Checking around my woodworking/garden railroad shed, I came up with enough stuff to do the project. I already had the wood and some Ozark castings sitting there just begging to be used. They are not overly detailed or fragile so they should hold up outside.

 

I'll build the ramp that will go from a pond to the saw mill after I place them in the correct location.

Total cost since I already had everything, $0.00. Cost if I had to buy everything, about $75.00.
