Floåsen old saw
In Floåsen, the village of the old sawmills, there is Sweden's oldest water-powered frame saw.
The saw was built in 1856, the year of construction is carved into one of the logs. The saw has been restored in rounds and is still in operable condition.
The footpath winds around 400 m through the forest from the center of the village. Near the road is also a newer circular saw, powered by an unusually large and powerful spark ball motor.
In the same building there is also a prototype for today's so-called Solo saws, known all over the world, and developed by the inventor Jönns Olsson from Floåsen.
