This is the kind of job I could get up every day and feel like I've never worked a single hard day in my life even though I do/did. Maybe one day 🤞 but until then I will always have a great respect for everyone from tree cutter to the truck driver hauling it. 🙏🍻
Tell you what. I have been in and around the timber business almost my whole life. Dealt with and sold timber to small to big mills. Never seen anything like this. This is super cool. Does America know that this is what Flyover Country does? You know, make the stuff that makes America actually run
I have worked at several mills in Wisconsin and the one thing they all told ya was make sure you take off the bark on the ties or when they go to treat nothing will stick to it lol
I love this type of mill..........not too big. I grew up in one building pallets for my father. I wish this was my sawmill I would take that side lumber and slabs and add pallets to the product list......day dreaming is free!
Everyone starts on the green chain where money is crapola and the head sawyer makes good as long ashis cut is in, they get to doggingand they find themselves back on the green chain again and they cycle another guy through that position. I worked in Selma Ala. an it was labor intensive. They have a lot of money invested in equipment there where this was taken
I was a Sawyer back in the early '80s in a mid sized mill with the edger and gang saws, chipper, debarker, and end trim saws and it wasn't hard to bury a 60' Green chain with three pilers running in the shed and leaving the Debarker guy trying to catch up. the mill was totally enclosed but kind of similar to that one
Nice mill but the logs I seen go through was pretty crap. What do you do with this popular ties. No place I ever sold ties would take popular. We just sawed popular into 4x6 cants and sold them to pallet plant.
that blade is state of the art metal. it is not a thick kerf blade like the old days. it is operating at extremely high speed, high production, and at incredibly precise measurements unthinkable when I was a kid. A thin bandsaw has less sawdust, and also is much slower. no where near this kind of production
the overhead on this operation is enormous. if there is any hiccup in supply or price or demand, they can get financially sideways. the overhead on a one-man wood mizer is very very low, and he is nimble and able to flexibly adapt to changing market conditions
hi im looking for a timber company who is capable of selling around 1-1.5 million cubic meters of Douglasfir, Hemlock, and Spruce each year. would you please give me some advice about where to find those timber companies? Thank you!
