Ambica Vijay Saw Mill

If you head down to Anand, you'll find our saw mill. It’s been sitting in the same spot for quite a long time. You can’t miss the sound of the big blades cutting through the logs when you get close. Ambica Vijay Saw Mill is a place where you're going to get some dirt on your shoes. We don't have a paved parking lot or a shiny lobby. It’s mostly just the yard full of wood and the shed where the main cutting happens. We deal with all kinds of timber and the smell of the fresh pine or teak is something you never really get tired of. The sun hits the yard pretty hard in the afternoon, so we try to get the heavy outdoor work done early in the morning. We are just a local operation with a few guys who know their way around a saw. We don’t really use fancy computers for much, mostly just a big ledger book and some pens to keep track of what’s going out. Some of the equipment is old, but it’s sturdy and it gets the job done better than some of the newer stuff we’ve seen. People from all over Anand come to us when they need wood for building or furniture. It’s a simple life and we like it that way.
