Lyle that looks good. I would put some type of shield on that drive shaft. Two reasons: 1) If the shaft would fail so that it would not be thrown at you. 2) It looks like it is about head high( Maybe it it taller then the picture looks) but I would worry about walking under it and catching a hood/hair in the joint. If I remember you have girls. IF they have long hair and are around the mill when it is running their hair could get caught.
There was a Younger girl(14 or 15) here that got scalped a few years ago. She was working around a PTO on an auger and there where not any shields on it. She had long hair and she bent over to pick something up. Her hair fell toward the ground and the wind blew it over into the PTO shaft. Scalped her in a split second. She has had several surgeries to reattach her scalp. The disfigurement has caused her some serious mental issues. Girls are very worried about how they look.
I really like the way you have used things that you can find "cheap" to make a working saw mill. That kind of drive is getting more rare all the time. Good luck on the lumber business.
