Those slabs will help keep somebody warm directly and looking forward to everything and anything. I remember the guys down the road getting the carriage trued up. They replaced something which is always coming to pass. Thanks, Mark, T.H.E and added help! Can't have too much with an oak! GBWYall!
As an industrial engineer, glad you understand how computers make sawyers more efficient You are a fantastic analog Miller, keep up the great work. Without Eddy, the teamwork falls apart, great work, fellas.
Back in my youth,,, 45 years ago,,, an uncle of mine went bonkers one night and bought a sawmill he claimed was dirt cheap and his wife claimed was just a noisily heap of manure. We cut oak farm boards 5/4 from 12 ft to 18 feet every evening after chores 5 days a week for 3 months or so. Then we put a metal roof up cause running a mill open to the weather purely sucks. Watching you two gents progressing along is a treat. There are times when I swear I can hear Eddie grunting.
Mark you and Eddie seem like really nice guys. And I feel so blessed to have stumbled into this channel. John has an interesting channel also. Out Of The Woods," Nathan Elliott" is knowledgable but he is fully automatic. Have a good and keep on sawing.
I'm enjoying learning about the details that you don't get in other sawmill videos, like today, the worn wheels and track. Having watched you changing cutter bits, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with ceramic bits. You sometimes see engineers using ceramic inserts to the lathe, and they take a pounding.
That was an ugly log. However you did get some nice boards out of it. Yes, those carriage wheels are toast! No computer allowed. That would take away all the fun! See you soon!
I could be wrong but you know I'll be the one to say it if you want to see a faster growth of the channel seeing the pile of wood after the cut is great the chatting before the cutting it's not so good The cutting of the wood is very relaxing
Mark and Eddie, I love your videos and how you explain what's going on as you saw. The best part of your channel is what is not there and that is filthy language and the beeping out of all the cursing we seem to be bombarded with these days. You guys really work hard and are true craftsmen!! Please keep up the good work.
Binged fricknjeep....thanks. that Frick saw mill is cool. I'm just amazed he still has all of his fingers. Unlike you....he doesn't give a damn if sawn boards lean up against the spinning saw blade then moves them with his fingers.....he knows his stuff.
That one was ugly on the outside then gave some nice planks then got ugly again in the middle. But the order got filled and all is well. Y’all done good again. 😎👍👏🇱🇷
There are two kinds of Detroit diesels. Freshly rebuilt and painted, and oily. You can clean and paint an old Detroit, but it will look just the same in a few months. Detroits leak oil, it's a "feature" of a pressurised intake system and lots of odd little seals all over the place.
I found that when we rebuilt the carriage wheels on the meadows that if you pu the wheels on the wood stove in the office and heat them till the cups fell out the new feel back in and then let them cool .but you have to hold them in place!!! A lot better than driving them out and in . Getter done buddy.
@@evankibbe590 we put a cam in the refrigerator and hung the steel timing gear in front of a kerosene salamander until it was warm. Then put that gear on the end of the cam pretty as you please. Oh it was in a 300 Inline 6 Ford motor.
I use to never have to take a shim when sawing on my Frick manual mill. I just multiplied the mixed numbers in my head on the fly. But I was a lot younger then.
That one was pretty ugly, good thing you have those decking orders to use up logs like that one. Thanks Mark, I checked out John at fricknjeep and he needs an Eddie equivalent at the sawmill. He's a hard working man for sure and I'm liking his videos too.👍😎
hi there mark just loaded a log on my mill and came to take a brake and what a nice way to take a brake watching another show with you 2 guys in it . question what is electricity on a cairrage . hay there whats your magic number . thanks for all the nice people you sent me . john now i got to go saw a log myself
Hi John , I just watched all of your new videos . I need to put a 22" sign up on the wall so people ask what is that ! glad you are closing up the walls before snow!
Greetings from the Philippines enjoy your videos and just wondering where are you located?? If someone wanted to build and or start a sawmill like yours where might you find one and how much might it cost?? In the US not here in the Philippines
Thank you Mark & Eddie. Just a thought,.. Would it be pertinent to shroud the wheels or have sweepers on the wheels or both, to keep debris off both mating surfaces? I hope to make my own portable band saw, (if I live that long, I'm 60 now, lol), some day, and was thinking of doing that on it. Thoughts? cheers🇨🇦
find you one of those round bubble mirrors and put it under the green/white/green flags so that you could see the dogs when you are moving the logs on the skid. . .
HI MARK most people today like the push button sawmills the old 🏫 school sawmills you had to pull the Rachel on the old manual sawmills every time before you saw a line and you had to allow for 1/4 of a inch for everything you saw between the saw blade and the head block OMG 😲 4 11 2O22
Mark, I think you should have some sort of two way radio communication with Eddie. For example, things that you can see that maybe he cannot, Like that piece that could have flown off on the second last cut. Also, if there were a way to link Eddie into the commentary, so we could hear both of you talking, on the job, that would be great.
I thought of a set of warning lights pointed from the back wall across from Ed and where Mark can see them...Set buttons in the cab and where Ed can use them...Have each light mean something important and give you both a way to shut the system down fast...No power for lights , ? use rechargeable battarys Pick colours that are used everywhere with easy to understand meanings...The mill is very dangerous and with others coming around its just time and someone will be hurt...That you took something like this to help your safety, it will help you not to get sued...Put signs up on the wall to explane the lights and the fears...
I notice when you rotate those large logs that they come down hard on the poor table and track there. That has to be hard on the equipment, e.g. bent frames etc. Is this a problem in your mill.
mark can you explain 1/4 sawing I went to out of the woods after you mentioned him neat, different but neat. and he was talking about 1/4 sawing and I didn't get what he was saying you can usually make me understand the different terms of the cuts. thanks also fricknjeep man that's some work later
Are the bearings in the wheels tapered bearings? If so clean and repack the bearings and replace the bad wheels then you're set to go. Can't the track be replaced with angle iron thats laid down and tack it every foot?
In the initial cuts, why don't you use shims on the small diameter end so that most of the boards will have straight grain rather than a slight cross grain?
Mark where do you get the logs from do you have to buy them or do tree people bring the in I live in Georgia don't see that much around in my small town that only log has some nice looking boards in it Koop old Daddy dry till next time
Wow! Y'all have come so far in so little time! Great content! John over at FricknJeep works his ass off! I like how he tags his stumps and records each tree in his Log Book. Very conscientious. Oh and check out Sailing into Freedom on You Tube. An Australian named Peter. He says Pee Pull (people) so many times his fans will give a count in the comments. He says Nothing but quality too! Thank you Mark and Eddy for all y'all do.
I noticed the bus motor pic the front saw the line as the log looks like smoke moving maybe just my phone or did the person who made it make that effect .
HI MARK most sawmill Sawyers saw cold water 🍉 melon in the summer time there is nothing better than good 👍😀 ice cold water 🍉 melon on a hot summer day years put use to put water 🍉 melons in big foot tubs w plenty of ice and water the colder they are the better they really 👍 good if they are good and sweet black diamond water 🍉 melons are good and sweet but you don't 👀 see them anymore OMG 4 11 2O22
Hi Mark, I sure enjoy watching you and Eddie work... I would like to send you a license plate from UTAH if that is okay... Do you have a mailing address? Thanks, Ron...
Ughhhh, I see a LOT of cutting welds, Grinding and welding in the new track. But like you said, If you own equipment you are going to work on it. Even new equipment needs TLC.
I think you also need that motor looked at. All the oil around the base is getting worse. It looks like it spraying towards Eddy. I do not want to see him hit the ground with our without a piece of lumber. This could and will hurt him
@@markgalicic7788 Yep, they are actually designed to leak oil. The bottom of the air boxes under the blower actually have drain tubes to let the oil that gets past the blower seals and piston rings drain harmlessly to the ground, instead of being consumed by the engine.
Those detroit diesels were 2 cycle engines back then and I've never seen a clean one. They stopped making them in 1995 because they couldn't meet modern pollution standards. The series 60 is a four cycle engine that was designed to replace the series 71.
Small mills seem to have only one sawyer, If someone else is running the mill he's as nervous as a mother hen. My offbarer wanted to saw sometimes, I couldn't watch.
It's like all the cage fighting channels they announce the fighters three or four times before the fight actually starts so aggravating I don't watch it I only like watching the girls woman fight anyways
