I find that the sawing videos you produce has a calming effect, as if it was therapy for the mind amidst the chaos taking place in the world today, especially for this old man, me. I've been watching your old videos from time to time.
Watching this old video shows just how far you've come as a sawyer. 10x the subscribers, very little indecision, and working those controls more then one function at a time. This log wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes now where before you made a whole video out of it. Perseverance pays folks. Big time!
I could seriously sit here and watch you process wood all day. I never worked a mill, but I've thought about grabbing a portable sawmill for processing my own 2x4's and up. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. That is one HELL of a nice mill.
Just happened upon this video. Had forgotten what everything looked like only 1.5 years ago. You have sure done lots of work on the mill since then. When you see the changes one piece at a time you don’t realize the huge changes made.
Letting them rot sell your logs for money or have them sawed for self limbs and chunks for fire wood if your to lazy to do that you would never run the mill if you had one.
I’ve spent many a hour on a Baker band mill. It was a lot like playing a video game and a lot of fun figuring out how to cut a log. We mainly cut cants, ties and timbers and ran the slabs through an edger to make pallet stringers. Amazing to see how little finished lumber comes out of a truck load of logs and how much sawdust and waste is created. I never ran a circle mill but being a sawyer takes lots of skill and being able to figure cuts in you head.
This video is really awesome to be seeing these logs turned in to useable lumber with the high price of lumber today these sawmills would be the way to go when building a new home just have to have the foundation work already done and by doing it this way the future home owners will save a ton of money in the long run and eliminate the cost of the building in half from paying at the lumber yards
Hey, Mark and that old possum headed thing had some NICE 2-by heavies in it after you got it ground down where you could get at 'em and I'm like Michelle in that I'm glad Eddie had some help but it being this close to fall, the helper may hibernate the rest of the sawing season! I know how he feels, I promise you. Good job and you'll have the shed up before frost, maybe! Thanks,Buddy!
hey Lewie hope all is well , that was the ugliest log but made some great 2x12 x 16's for the shed !! Good friends show up when you need them AMEN to that!
@@markgalicic7788 Hi, Mark and all is well but arthur has come to visit my right hand but I'll get over it before long. And those were FINE 2x12's, no doubt and the bus motor didn't even BLINK! And that thing had a saw FULL at one time. SWEET rig! Keep on slinging dust, Pal!
This just came up in my NEW feed, surprised to see you start in the open air not in the flag adorned barn. And all this saving great skills have come along the way
Hey Mark lot of Sawyer's on here telling how to saw I bet everyone of them started out perfect doing exactly right from the start. I enjoy the videos the more you saw the better you get it's like welding. Anyway that's a nice rig you got and you will get more out of your logs the more you saw and that made some nice 2 bys for the sawmill shed.
I run an Edmistom every day. Those guys in Wilkesboro NC build a great mill. You're doing great...all you need is a little more seat time. I've been reading some of the comments from a holes who've never sawed a line. My first skidder would fart in your face and I've turned several million feet of logs with a cant hook. Love your outfit. I'll send you some videos of mine.
I worked at a mill like yours. This one had a deck at the end of the rollers going cross ways 16ft wide and 30 ft long withe 3 chains to move the lumber down the length. We could pile all different dimension lumber on the chain and bundle on either side saving time labor, as the slab wood gets put on the chain deck as well and thrown when bundling the other lumber.
Cool setup there, looks like a good bit of work, and cleanup and all. Probably well worth it though once you get rolling good and have plenty of nice logs. Especially after you go pick through some of that high price crap they sell at home despot or blowes.
I’ve learned that “Let’s turn this one more time means we are going to turn it at least another 12 times”. That’s some hard work right there. I wouldn’t want to arm wrestle any of you guys.
Ce "scieur" est nul !.. il parle trop ..un scieur thaïlandais est bien meilleur que ce type qui passe son temps a retourner des billes de bois comme s'il avait un jouet dans les mains

I used to work in a mill similar to that. We had conveyors down to a tip table controlled by the sawyer. Slabs went left lumber went right. Made a lot less work on that end. I was canterman. I did the job of the yellow piece. Hardest work there was was cutting 20' 10x10s from green poplar. Biggest tree we cut while I was there was 38" on the butt and 12' long. We got 13 3x12s and a 3x10 from it. Still miss that job all the time. My back doesn't tho...
I worked my uncle's sawmill in SW Arkansas growing up, you have a great setup. We had a 5 1/2 ft sawblade, maybe 6 ft, I was barely a teenager (30 yrs ago), but my point is unless you're sticking to milling smaller trees than you did in this video may want to upgrade to a bigger blade. The upfront cost is considerable, but you wasted the first 15 mins of this video just trimming down to start cutting. If you work 8 hrs a day and waste 15 mins a log trimming, your production is cut down considerably..
thanks for watching Tim ,we do have a 56" saw this log is for the roof over the sawmill it was free and took some time to mill but got some great 16' 2x12s.
I love to hear the hum of the greyhound and watch the dust fly.in the 50's I used to go with my grandpa to the cotton gin where he worked and they had a larger Detroit engine to run it.if it were now e1 would have a fit about a lil kid being around there.i ran the pipe to suck up the overflow cotton.
i have watched this series ever sence it has been on you tube and have enjoyed each segment very when i first worked in a saw mill when I was 15 as those were the days I have did every thing but set ratchets and SAW I am sory I have no flag to send you. I will say a good job jolly good job.
Thank's for sharing. Nice little cab idea. "What if" you put the slab pile on the other side of the deck so the Man can just turn around and toss them instead of stepping down and up and hiking across the dirt?? Just a thought. It is quiet a Saw.. Take care...
Must be part beaver the way he is gnawing at that log...only sawyer I ever seen turn a log so much...would be me..:) very smooth 60 cuttin like a dream. All you need now is that upper 60...kudos
When you import video from your camera into whatever you use to edit, the frame size in the editor is not matching what the camera is outputting, that's why you get those large black bands around the outside of the video. Please check the settings, make sure they match. Love the content. I could have a lot of fun in my shop with a few of those slabs. Too bad I live nowhere close to you.
@@markgalicic7788 your utube is the most neatest thing iv ever seen.have run wood cuting for some time. it hard work be safe take care.gos bless your all.robert mckeel.
Gramps used to have a saw mill with an old diesel motor. I remember that old motor did not really want to get going and it would turn very slowly when first getting it to run. It would puff smoke rings for about five minutes or so before it would start running pretty good. I also remember the great old big and wide belts it had on it. They would start slipping a bit so grandpa had a tin can nailed to a pine tree right under a big scar he had made in it and gather pine sap to poor on them to stop the slipping
@@markgalicic7788 he would take the van of pine rosin and heat it up over a small fire and pour it on the belts. As kids we hated going to the sawmill and working. Looking back it's like everything else now days. Wish I could be there again
That was 3 years ago - "back in the day", so to speak !! Things were a lot more primitive, Mark !! You've com a long way since then. No walls, either !!
Went and got my wife's Pine-Sol to huff on while I was watching this. That is a stick of wood! 21:20 I want to build something monumental with some of this size.
thanks for watching , we need at least 20 - 16' 2"x12"s to build a roof over the mill. How do I buy 11 - 2"x12" x16' for $30 ? if so what a great deal.
First time I have seen the Mill operate before it was enclosed. That for sure is some ugly pine longs but wow after you got faced in. It turned out really good.
Fricknjeep- I just sawed some 3” thick coffee table tops out of a 32” dbh cottonwood, the ultimate ‘junk’ log. The grain is beautiful! The wood was cut at about a 60 degree angle to the log with a chainsaw, then reasawn smooth and uniform on my bandmill.
Definitely looks like you’re improving on the mill I would have sawed it down differently but that’s my opinion and yes I have ran a few mills mainly a 4 head block Hurdle a Cooper scarf mill and a brewco band resaw also I was a saw filer for 15 years um in Connellsville PA
You should have the outfeed rollers tilted down at an angle with a catch platform/table, so the boards slide down and you can continue next cut and dont have to wait for slow paced stackers....just a thought.
Lovely video Mark , was wondering if you have any trouble starting the ol CASE when its freezing cold ?? i used to have an ol heat gun & stick it in the hole where the preheat coil is on intake manifold ( which never was any good) , works every time even when 20 below !! sawmill is the nuts eh , regards to you an your crew
