Year 1 went to the sawmill at Coniston. The National Trust took us there in a mini bus.
The first thing we saw were some tractors. We met the men who worked at the mill. Mr Woodburn told us all about wood and the machines.

|
This machine had six blades that split the logs into square posts. |
||
|
They use a chainsaw for cutting down the trees on National Trust land. His trousers were very thick so that he would not be cut by the chainsaw. |
||
|
This machine stripped the bark off the wood. If they did not, the machines would break. |
||
|
They put the wood in a special tube to treat them. They last for 25 years. |
||
|
Some things are poisonous and they were locked away in big tanks. |
