    Daniel,
    Did you have any luck finding anyone?
    My Brother-in-law at Kinglake has had some pretty good results milling (Lucas Mill) up some old sleepers to use as VERY chunky window frames.
    PM me and I'll ask him what he wants as far as payment for his time on the mill - but I'm sure he'd be happy to do it if you can get the sleepers up there...
    Cheers

    Just beware of the embedded asbestos fibres from the train brakes. Wear your PPE.
    Cheers, Ern

    Sleepers can be a touchy subject. I used to charge $15 per cut and a clause in the cutting agreement saying if blade touches metal, you just bought it
