Jason saws two maple logs: one is busted and the other is from where two trees grew from one trunk #lumber #lumberyard #recently_uploaded #sawmill #virginia #logs #debarker #share #subscribe #sawmills #maple
1. Such a spalted log could be of interest to all them furniture makers - like "live edge tables" and such". 2. 3:00 - oops, this might send couple of carbide tips flying... They are brazed on, which is strong enough for majority of situation - the brazing is strong enough to actually cut through occasional nail - or even a bigger piece of steel - but there's a catch. My dad once wanted to cut (rip) a pine -of- OR spruce 1" board lengthwise, with a circular hand-held saw - so he clamped the board to the working table, which had a wooden top affixed to a frame made of angle iron. But in the process he either moved the board or miscalculated where the blade would end up (in respect to the tabletop) and ended up cutting through this wooden top (about 1 and 1/8" or so thick) AND the underlying angle iron - to the depth of 1/8", maybe bit less. He was surprised "why that effing board is putting up so much resistance?!" - so after a while he decided to take a second look, and... fork! The blade was OK (sorta, just got blunted a little) - but when I was cutting, some other day, an exceptionally soft spruce board (some second-grade packaging wood) on a table saw, I hit an unnoticed (and not removed) nail in it - and since the wood was very soft and the saw was sharp I could push the board real fast - which meant that when the saw meet he nail it was just way too fast - and few tips broke "in half", while some broke off altogether. Some woodworking people told me this may happen even if you hit a particularly hard knot too fast - and this flapping hard wood piece may hit back, with a great speed, the oncoming carbide tip - and this may be just too much for it. I'm not saying "this would surely happen", but the risk is still there - so, being in your position I'd cut that loose flap off first, or, at the very least, I'd make sure I'll cut through it slowly.
Yes I agree but we keep a lot of live edge pieces and really haven't had a lot of luck selling them in our area, even at a very low price. And yes busted logs can be dangerous. Thanks for watching
@@nicholssawmillandmore _"haven't had a lot of luck selling them in our area, even at a very low price"_ - I guess not many "epoxy woodworkers" in your area - and equally few bloody rich customers willing to spend more than a couple of grands on a table... ;-) Yeah, this is a niche market, I guess - as spending what for many folks would be a quarterly income on a dining table, no matter how nice these tables may look, is not everyone's idea of well-spend money.
What do you use your soft maple lumber for? Is that 5/4. The mill that I saw for all our 1 and better 5/4 soft maple is made into breeze dried sticks for drying lumber. And 2 common 5/4 is made into breeze dried pointed stakes. The 3 common goes in the chipper
Thanks John. Well I've sent a rotten 7x9 tie through it before. It s a 58 inch morbark stationary chipper. Hope that helps. I'm not sure about exact sizes.
We saw a lot of good logs as well but the ugly ones seem to bring the most interest. Sometime I might film for a half a day so it paints a complete picture. Thanks for watching.
