I know you like to see big logs sawn into a stop sign to get it down to size so here's a big one for you! hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/
Lol, in seriousness, when a broad is cut it might bow due to resistance. When I started working in the mill I thought the lumber dried enough to bow. Then I moved up in the mill, after the out feed of a saw. I'd see broads get cut off a square cant/ block come out the other end ready to be the bowel of a ship.
Mark you truly are a master Sawyer with your mill. I've watched you and others for quite a while and you're the best. I always admire the relationship and communication you and Eddie have. God bless you guys.
I quit school and took a job at a lumber mill, being not a large guy I failed the green chain and was put in the planer and molding mills, best decision of my life I was able to buy a fancy car etc at only 18 years old, of course school is good but a guy working hard is also good i have great respect for the people who saw the wood we all use, its hard work no matter what department you work in.
I've said it before, Mark. But your thorough experience really shows up big time when you saw a large log like this. Cut by cut, you make the best decisions on the best way to process the logs. You get the most out of them, with little waste. Good job!
My great granddaddy ran a sawmill in my home town of Sharon, Tennessee. It was gone before I was born in 1952. I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up! God bless!
Love to watch this mill running. I also love the saw marks on a board. Band saw doesn't leave that circular mark. When I make anything, I make sure that I don't sand or plane them off. Looks older that way. Any old lumber almost always have these marks on them. Just a fun time watching this mill.
Great job cutting them logs, and great job showing and telling. Keep up the good work cutting,love to see that wood getting cut in to lumber. Thanks for showing the great video,have a great day see y’all next time see ya bye.
I am 65 years old now, but when I was 17, I worked at a sawmill for the summer, it was hard work for sure. It was interesting to watch your video and remember things. I would have liked a quick view of the lumber that came out of the mill in this video though.
I grew up working at my father's sawmill in early 60's until 1970 when he got a town job. We lived in West Central Indiana in Parke County Indiana. The county still has 31 covered bridges. The sawmill was a four head block Sinker Davis Sawmill made in Indianapolis. With some maneuvering, it was possible to saw a 26' log. It was amazing to see the amount of automation at this mill, especially the log turner and automatic log dogs. My first job at the mill was skidding logs and positioning them on the mill skids. I used a big Massey Harris tractor with a front loader. I also used a small Oliver dozer. The little dozer could push a lot more than it could pull. The mill also had an edger where we could length wise trim slabs and bigger pieces into different board widths.
I used to watch my local sawmmill as a child around 1968. They ground off the bark first, and then just tore it up with the saw. Your method takes a lot more prep !
Mark L'm glad I built a custom band mill that I can saw a 36 inch log by 21.5 feet + long! Some times I thought I wish I had made it for 48 inch; until I think about turning that size log at 74 years old and 130 pounds! Of course I did get a 4500 hundred winch and made it so it mounts on mill to turn bigger stuff! Have fun and keep making sawdust!
Wow!! That's log I can watch all weekend. That will definitely get the bus motor all warmed up. Also, those items you were showing in the beginning all looked like craftsman workmanship. Very nice.
Hi from Oz! Nice Bush mill Content! Enjoy! Large Corp. Mills in the modern age, may just Chip the Whole log. as is. For Chip Export. See as Pine.? or else Throw thru a Large Quad Saw, Computer control To size what slabs of the log they want!. to suit timbers they require.with further size milling. high speed!. Yeah probably Debark the whole log, for pine bark beforehand, for value add, for Horticulture sales etc. Enjoyed this Video! Thanks!
I’m home with Covid and have had your videos playing on my television since 5 this morning. Watch them everyday of life. Need to make a trip and check everything out
I always wondered. Thank you for my beautiful deck and all the trips to home depot, with the lumber pushing through my CUV window on the highway. Good times
Hi Mark, Ed, ZZ, & everyone. Great video. Beautiful lumber. I didn't see any defects either. Love the gnomes. 👏👏👏😆😆😆😁😁😁 Have a good remainder of the week everyone. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲
I'm 70, but as I watch this, completely transfixed, I'm back to being 9 yrs old, watching powerful machinery do what it's designed to do. Making huge wood cuts like a hot knife going through butter. I've never seen wood go through a saw at, like, 5 mph. This, of course, is no longer new technology, but it sure the hell is impressive, nonetheless!
I grew up watching my grandfather and dad run a head rig with a circular saw like this. After that mill closed I worked in a big mill with 2 band saws on head rigs and a third band saw cutting the cants into usable lumber. We never cut pine into 8 quarter only 4 quarter. Brings back fun memories.
We had a 42 inch putts mill and ran it with a 301 6 cylinder Chev . Sawed railroad ties out of poplar. Pick the log on and lay on the stick. Not fancy but did a lot of work
I worked in a sawmill as a young feller and loved every minute of it, wish I could back even if only for a few days. I'm sure you older guys know what I'm talking about.
Makes me proud to see that Oklahoma flag. We’ve had a very tough few days, since hearing one of r Oklahoma Legends has died from cancer. RIP Toby Keith & boomer Sooner baby. God bless y’all. Love ur videos
Brings back memories from the 70's. I used to live in a small-town, Bunbury, which in those days had a few mills in the area. A couple of the young fellas that worked there had muscles on their muscles. You'll be able to get some 2x1's out of some of the off cuts, maybe even a couple of pieces of siding. 😁😁
Good job guys! Lots of lumber with that one! Don’t forget the batteries for that temp scanner! I have one like it for my Bullet casting. Take care and stay safe! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mark let Mr Eddie know to never put his hands anywere there is a moving saw blade. what could of happened if his sleve of his shirt got caught on the blade and pulled him into the blade. I dont want any of you guys getting hurt I enjoy your videos you guys put out. Please always be careful because we need all of you going home the same you came. God Bless you all and keep keeping me entertained love what your doing.
Holy! my home made gauge adds the width of the blade and the lumber size and accounts for every cut, and I always get 1 inch strapping first, and after I square it up i get exactly what I planned with my home made gauge. You can make your own easy. And the only waste I have is saw dust. Also I start by canting the small end over, and that is my first cut and everything after is exactly 90 degrees to it. As long as your having a good time and as a rule. I like to have a totty as well to warm me up on them fall days when the bugs are gone. I also noticed how many friends like to bring their logs to my house and buy me a beer lol.
Another thought about the light. Mark. If there is a power supply out there, maybe a small light mounted on the pointer so it doesn't throw a shadow on the dial.
The comment about twisted lumber pulled my heart strings and gave me goosebumples! Ive only seen you have twisty springy problems but a few times. Its hiw you run your carriage load huh!
Really like the edger videos, ran one for two years,it had foot controls with the lazer sights, but it was a big conpany,,yours does a great job,,tell everyone hello, and keep-on keeping-on,,love the videos,,
Nine o’clock in the morning having a brew and watching you guys that’s nice timber coming off the mill, this retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be you never know when your finished because you never know when you started , todays job getting the counter sunk set screws out of a twenty four inch planer shaft there all chewed up and there’s three blades and there’s nine in each blade , I’ve got the shaft out on the bench few have snapped off some are easy there’s no rush so it could be a two day job , you guys have nice day
It’s not my planer it just in for repair I didn’t take the shaft out people that own it are carpenters and have had the machine from new think there fourth generation, it was line shaft and had an electric motor fitted in the nineteen fifties
Thanks for the video Mark. Wow big log. At around the 22min mark it looks as if a wedge of wood got jammed in the blade when you were trimming up the log. Hope it didn’t heat up the blade. Thanks again
Anyone besides me see the foot long slip of wood wedged up against the saw blade starting at 21:55 ??? Very surprised Mark or T.H.E. Eddie never saw it !
I understand your blade wasn't tall enough to to quarter saw, but I am curious why you cut that down into such little sticks? Surely you could slab out some X12's, X10's, X8's, and X6's. Wider wood brings the prettier penny afterall. Unless maybe this was a custom order cutlist. Anyway thanks for sharing, it was fun to watch.
I've worked in a hardwood mill since I was 19. I'll be 61 in December. Have run the head rig (47 foot band with optimized scanner) for the last 26 years. Starting to think I've had enough.
@@MtnMan62 we had a optimized Corley carriage that an the Army was to the longest jobs I've ever had I got hurt in the Army and then the mill run out of business after probably 70 years of running we already did the mell and put a Corley Carriage we had a Salem edger and a resaw system we had a 21 bay sorter it was a nice meal when we got through redoing it the only problem was it only run about 7 years after that
