I wrote to Eddie this past week. I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate all your great work. I grew up in Elgin, I'll. During my childhood I was so blessed with living in a community where the huge Dutch Elm trees lined all the streets with shade. It was such a terrible shame when they all became diseased. I love to watch how you Stop Sugn cut those huge logs into beautiful wood pieces. I am retired military from over 21 years and then retired a second time working with the elderly for another 25 years. Handicapped now so what you all do is the highlight of my days. I've been watching now for almost 2 years. But I have watched videos back 5 years. Again, I thank each one of you. Sincerely, George Daum
Great edger music, Mark! Way before my parents married, my mom bought a new two door ford ranger. Best truck there is anywhere. 5 speed standard. Then when i turned 15, I started to learn how to drive it. That little ranger is 24 years old and still going long and strong. That little truck has hauled anything and everything. I remember when me and my dad one day went out for a ride on the forest roads over here in Washington in the Cascade mountains. On the way back, we discovered it was only running on two spark plugs instead of all eight. You don't want to get stuck out here in the mountains, probably should have checked it over before we went into the mountains. But it ran perfectly, never let us down. After 20 years, we fondly dubbed it "old red". May be an old bucket of bolts, but it's a dang as heck good one.
My favorite part is the first cut on a new face! Love your channel and love what you guys do! Also, I love when you make a stop sign out of a big log. In fact, the bigger and uglier the log, the more interesting it is to watch you saw it!
Nice bit of work on that log and it seemed to give you what you were looking for as far as the bowl blanks were concerned and as usual it is a pleasure to see you all in operation and listen to the concert.
My hubby & I love your videos. They're relaxing, interesting, & you're such a professional!! That wood is beautiful. We'd love to see what is built with it. I appreciate how careful you are & keep Eddie & the other guys safe. Great job, Mark! God bless y'all. Thanks for giving us these videos!! ♥️🙏👍
Haven’t read anyone else commenting, but many of us had trouble seeing Mr. Laser, but sometime in the last week it changed and I can see the laser the majority of the time now. Thanks for working on the issue.
Nice boards . Loved the way you turned that log , just masterful Mark . Nice song , Bucket of bolts . I have an old Ford . It starts , runs , and goes . It gets me there and home . Huals good load of wood . Seeya
Heck, Grandpa says you already have enough help on your channel that he said that he ain't got nothin ' to say. He is glad you have Chewy.... Turning that with cant hooks could've been a pain. Nice to know times are changing and sometimes for the better. There was some pretty graining in those boards.
That pin oaks grain is beautiful. We have one in our backyard grown from acorns at the base of a pin oak that was behind he elementary school I started my education at in 1951. my youngest son gathered a pocket full of acorns in 1983 and we planted some in a flower bed behind our house. Some sprouted in the spring of 1984 and one survived. We still call it toothpick because that’s what it looked like. When it was about3.5’ tall we moved it to the back of our yard where it had plenty of room to grow. Our oldest son who is an arborist takes care of it and it’s a beautiful specimen. I really enjoy watching you work turning trees into lumber. My wife and I have a house full of Amish made furniture we have bought over the Pat 40 years or so.
Half past six in the morning that’s nice lumber and no knots , been out in the workshop this morning to catch a rat two terriers and three mamutes the bugger was fast dodging dogs like an American football player then it shot down a steel pipe , I picked up the pipe it shot out the other end and the old terrier caught it and the young one , must admit it was funny watching it run round the workshop like a cartoon caricature anyway you guys have a nice day
I wish you guys were closer I'd have you cut lot of lumber for me also thinking maybe you guys should get a headset where you can talk to one another specially you and Ed
I love this channel. It is as Americana as it gets. You guys rock and yes old guys can still get er done. You prove it day in and out. T.H.E. Eddie Horvath is a powerhouse. He flips those planks like pancakes on a hot griddle. Cheers. Stay cool.
Hi Mark. I thought it's pin oak. This log is prettier than last year's pin oak. It can make pretty kitchen cabinets. My best friend made spalted sugar maple kitchen cabinets. They're beautiful. Just polyurethane to finish them. Thanks Mark. Say Hi to Ed, ZZ, & John. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice Mark, that log is worth quite a bit of money converted into lumber, a lot of it was close to or exceeded clear. Red oak here in my home town in Texas, @ Home Depot; red oak 1 x 12 of coarse S4S and kiln dried is 12.98 a linear foot, which would be board foot as well. $155.76 + tax for 12 foot length.. wow Mike at outdoors with the Morgans has a kiln on the way to his place... Like the videos guys :)
@@markgalicic7788 I've got the mill head in the barn now to do some repairs and hopefully I'll be moving it closer to the barn soon and get it back in operational order. Lumber, firewood before it gets cold again makes a difference! 😂
@@markgalicic7788 i never heard that..fence posted they did..i got a bunch of pegs from a 1800s barn they tore down at a place a was living and they all were oak..but i think white oak was most commonly used..i cant remember if i did the soapy water bubble blow thru the wood test on the pins to see if it was red oak or white oak
great pattern in the wood. It's really strange how sometimes I see Mr. Laser fine and other times I can't see him at all. I REALLY LIKE THIS OLD BUCKET OF BOLTS.
On an over-sized log ( 🛑 ) the Rule is: The first cut is waste, the second cut is lumber. 🛑 reduction is only wasteful if you don’t get that second cut.
Don't understand why people argue about the stop sign it's actually a very logical method without reinventing the wheel. I like the stop sign nice work guys.
