Every solitary 'slice' of that tree was different from the last, with not a 'piece' wasted. French polished and then waxed properly by a craftsman, - (not "sprayed" as they do today), - any of those 'boards' would have 'glowed' a beautiful dark yellow and a lovely red after a few years. - I would have been 'proud' to have a piece of furniture made from it.
The way that you chipped away with the multiple cuts leads me to believe that this is a very precious tree variety. Awesome presentation! Domo arigato!
Maybe add a white sign to the camera side of the top blade guide bar so the light sensor doesn't black out the video every time the carriage returns to the back of the shop.
Phantastic all perfect measure till it gets in its straight surface alignment maschinell... Mr. sasada collects the small pieces usable for decorative purpose . Blessings.:) First time I come accroos sawmilling have seen nuts trees like Black Walnut this Chest nut looks oily protected from bugs quality looks varnished already and fine quality...Oh take care thats too sharp the blade.
In American one could loose their job for being that close to the blade and reaching in. Not only that but OSHA would have a field day with the company.
What a saw mill! I love the way you wasted none of that tree. You wound up with dozens of plaques and live edge sign boards by the time you got to the "good stuff". I hate to see wood wasted and you wasted none of it!! Would love to see some of that wet down to make the grain pop. Beautiful though to see it as it is.
As a tree-hugger, I find power tools obscene, but I watched this entire clip with the exact ideas in mind as you - EV-VER-RY point you made. I just finished watching something all about respect. Wowsers!
I find the wood colour and texture very pleasing to the eye. And crafts person will be able to make some beautiful pieces from those small sections. I would’ve liked to have seen some 2 inch sections cut as well as the 1 inch. 🇨🇦
The man next to the blade is in so much danger he probably doesn’t even realize. Or he does and has a death wish. When those saws break and they easily do. They fragment and kick out wherever. I’ve seen up close and personal where a slightly larger blade can penetrate a brick wall
Why is it that wherever there's woodworking to do in Japan whether it's sawing, felling, or construction with wood, the Japanese people HAVE to have someone doing the observing and OKing the work? When felling large pine trees, there is ALWAYS a committee of at least 5 people supervising while one or two actually do the work. Why is that? Cannot the person actually doing the work be relied upon to know how to do the work himself without someone telling him how to do it?>
The answer to that question is no! One or two people watching might be the customers. That is valuable wood. They are very serious about it. They aren't going to make tooth pics with it.
I can see why they cut that big fellow down...all those points of inner rot. Hopefully somebody scooped up the sawdust from that cut and saved it for the vendor buying the planks from that run.
The elderly man picking up the scraps SHOULD NEVER go in front of the blade, he nearly slipped at one point and I jumped out of my skin, I thought he was a goner!!,
One misstep, one stumble and its over. Becoming overly familiar with really dangerous equipment is very common. Air craft mechanics have walked into spinning propellers, carpenters have sawed of various parts of their bodies, race car drivers are killed all the time. The edge of safety is where most accidents happen.
That's one crooked old witch. Why not just hog into her and save your blade and a heap of time. Seems like mostly scraps till you get into the meat of it.
