Hi:
I am looking for plans to scratch build a small sawmill for an ON30 logging module. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

Twosaint,
Welcome to the MR Forums !
I hope some of the loggers will chime in with a better reply, but for starters, go to the Index of Magazines button just to the right of the Trains.com at the top of this site. Then select Keyword on the left margin of that page and enter sawmill as the search topic. You should get a fair number of hits.
