Logs to Lumber - An aerial journey through the sawmill 

Yeah, pretty soon it will be run by robots. Bet you love that, too, huh?

@@atlantic_love Yes!

@@atlantic_love It basically already is.

@@Winterascent That's sad. I miss the old days (old enough to call them that lol) when, well.....I'm old.

@@mtamech535 That's sad.

Takes some ballsy flying operating a drone in a big steel shed... compass gets all confused and they can get a mind of their own!... it is a great video

It's not a drone. It's a fad quadcopter.

Are the big chains on the "claw" to keep it from opening too far?

@@CowboyCarCrushing I have not gone back to see the video again, but I think I know what you're talking about. What those are there fore is to apply downward pressure on the lift of logs as the grapple closes. this makes for a tight load as they move the logs to the deck and helps straighten out any logs that get crossed up. Let me know if you think this answers the question for you. If not, give me a time into the video so I can cruise over to see it again.

@@EnGammalAmazon Thank you so much. I thought being a year out it was a shot in the dark. Super Awesome you replying. I like heavy equipment and have limited exposure. But i will ask and keep learning. Thank you 👍. The conveyor system is just freaking awesome. The way it kicks out a log. How much weight is that? Anyway, I'm a small loader operator and moving any weight around is a challenge. I like the big Iron and cables and machine and a person can get in tune with it all. It's pure dominance of us (human beings) finding a way to do things the best we can. So the chains keep the top logs from being loose?

@@CowboyCarCrushing Yes, I believe it is. If you think this mill is interesting, you should see some of the mills in Sweden. I used to work at a job that required that I visit all the mills in northern Europe once a month to check on their lumber grading of anything that was being shipped to the US. One of my mills was the largest sawmill in Sweden and on the adjacent site was the fifth largest pulp mill in the world. To meet the people the run operations like these is pretty amazing. We could learn a lot from the Nordics on just about any topic you choose. They have really figured out how to make a society work. The Swedes are incredibly active in creating new products in just about any industry. I am of Swedish and German ancestry and love being over there. Just being there I have come to realize why I think and act the way I do. I enjoyed it so much that I just bought a small farm over there and I'm moving over this coming year. There is a lot of what I love to do in just the area where I'll be living. Probably the biggest draw for me are the amazingly interesting and generous people I've come to know there. I encourage Americans to get out of the country at least once or twice in their lives for several weeks at a time and simply take a road trip. Stop when you see something interesting and ask questions. you will be amazed.

@@EnGammalAmazon spent 8 years in army. Went to a couple of war zones but everything else i visited was Awesome. You are exactly right. Visiting other places has done nothing but enrich my life. I've always tried to learn something of the host nations language. Met some girls and tasted some awesome food. Seen new things that i didn't reject. I applied it to my life. Made me the Cowboy i am today. I'm an International Cowboy

Tree huggers who are sitting in a wooden house at a wooden table in a wooden chair.

agreed. those environmentalists killed my home town in Oregon. used to be dozens of mills, hundreds of trucks goin through town each day. then, they found an owl. shut everything down. now only a couple dosen trucks and 2 mills remain, along with a dead town. i hate the EPA.

well for one, I'm not a dinosaur, two, without the logging industry your life would drastically change, three, logging is actually clean and helpful. it creates fire lines, clears brush, and help prevent disease

@Dr Moriarty You do realize that it's due to the logging companies that forest coverage has increased on the NA continent, right? You don't know what the hell you're talking about

@@steeldriver5338 : Moronriaty is one of those envirowackos who love trees than human. They don't wan to know the truth about logging increases the health of the forest or the forest in NA is greater than it was before. The rather see massive out of controlled forest fire than sound forest management.

+cake in the night absolutely, exactly what i thought!

It's needed to have automation. It's much cheaper then having people do the work plus you'll get the same perfect result in all the batches.

I was thinking the same, many years of working out the kinks I'm sure

@@LegendLength 9

Man, it's RIDICULOUS

I needed six 2x4x8's and It cost me $50!!!!!

Same. Got a few decent pallets in my garage and hoping no one lifts them, lol.

Same

No wonder it's so priced when we cut down entire forests for chairs and tables

Gday mate lets put another shrimp on the barbie

And a hella lot of money

Zt Weve Rock n Roll is life you uncultured swine.

LegoMaster 101 Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care

The reason so few people have a grasp of where things come from is because of operations like this... think about it.

I use to work for them in republic

Thats what I was thinking, the complexity and precision was on a par with the Apollo space program.

@@kenrussell1093 Think your right there Ken. Regards John.

+Vaagen Brothers Lumber This was awesome thank you!

I use to work at a small family owned sawmill here in Deep East Texas that started back in the 1980s, and even after 40+ years we still had to stack by hand.

O

I am watching this while woodcutting in RuneScape.

Glad to hear it helped you out. Let me know if you have any more questions

I love Terry's in Peninsula

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

with music?, like in this video? every second moron, on YT, destroys vids by music. every fucking idiot, pushes his fucked up music taste bei YT, on videos, who have nothing to do with music. Hey, fucking Vaagen Brothers.. are you sounddirectors from Hollywood or just fucking lumberjack-hillbillies? WHERE ARE THE ORIGINALSOUNDS?

my dude... chill there are other videos with sound.

I bet it smells lovely there ( a bit noisy though).

Anyone else wonder how many times that guy has accidentally grabbed the truck spine under the logs? xD

Otto Stierlitz got issues my dude
