I’ve tried to figure out what country these guys are I . It sure isn’t the USA I’ve come to the conclusion it is Indonesia. Or maybe the Philippines. But most likely Indonesia.
That works continuously, really. It is a band saw and has been around for quite a few years. Invented 1809. Yes it has come a long way but most machinery has.
@curtisbratcher9798. - That is Mahogany, - have you ever tried to burn any ? - The 'thin planks' might 'char' a bit along the sides but the thicker ones would barely 'smoulder' around the edges. If you aimed a 'blow-torch' hard at one of those large 'Butts/Trunks' for an hour all you would do is burn a hole in it. The only things that could burn their would be the odd piece of bark, (most of which those trunks had been stripped of), the odd piece they were using as 'spacing' between the cut wood and any small piles of sawdust, - and their floor was remarkably clean for a 'mill'. - You need pine/fir, or any 'wide grained' wood to get a good fire going, of which I didn't see any. Mahogany is a very close grained wood. The 'Band Saw' had water constantly dripping on the saw, partly to keep it 'cool' due to the thickness of the wood it was cutting and also to reduce the 'dust'.
I’ll take a guess. To keep the wood from splitting as it dries out. If that log was green/wet they would not have moved it around that easily off the truck.
I have wondered about that too. A qualified guess: Let`s say the biggest log on the truck has a diameter of 2 m, and is 5 m long. That makes 15,7 cubic metres. I am more uncertain about the density, that depends on the type of wood, and whether it`s dry or not. For example, dry mahogny, use factor 0,65? In that case, it is 10,2 tons. Any other suggestions?
Why do you use fast frame. It looks like a Charlie Chaplin film from one hundred years ago, And the talking from a Disney cartoon. A good subject spoilt by bad filming.
