just one of those logs that shouldn't be on the sawmill but we had to get more 12 foot boards to finish this order , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgaliciccha...
I always talk to the guy who owns a sawmill 4 blocks away about this channel. He saws mine timbers and railroad ties. He has a 56" mill as well. Last Wednesday lightning struck the old long abandon huge brick building attached to his sawmill and caught it ablaze. I am a firefighter with the local fire dept. We ended up calling 7 other depts and 16 trucks mostly tanker/tenders to haul water. The hydrant on the property could not flow enough water. Even with all the towns pumps running we kept coming close to draining the tower. Well over 250,000 gallons of water was used in 4 hours. Anyway we stopped the fire from entering the mill. Zero damage to any of the mill. The owner of the mill called me Friday thanked me said they were back to 100%. (We were pulling saws and equipment out as the fire was going in the event it got into the mill. They had to reset everything.) He told me to come up anytime they would show me how to run the mill. Then allow me to cut logs! I can't wait, I am going to wait on cooler weather. LOL They use a top mill I can't wait to see it work. I have been in there several times but never noticed it. He said it is old and has two blades on opposite sides.
I have just found your channel and I am addicted. My son and I are amateurs with a band saw mill and we enjoy every minute sawing. We have learned that not all logs are equal. Straight, bent, clear or knotty, we enjoy the surprise of what’s inside.
Bad log. What I like is you are honest about it. Just another reason I let my grandsons watch your videos with me. Really appreciate how you all and the hard work you do.
It is ok to say NO to a job if the log is not going to work. It is always good to see you guys hard at work. Hang in there and remember you have a lot of friends on your side. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Thanks for the shout out. You all made Grandpa smile. About the time you said that this log is a waste of time, he said exactly the same thing. We were all wondering if a lot of creepy crawlies came out of that rotten end? It was exciting to see all the guys were back. We were all amazed what you all got out that log. Yup, the Magic was Gone out of that Log. 😊
Got more out of that oak than I thought. Looked like one of Jasons firewood logs. A LOT! Good job and God Bless and that cant was ROUGH! Getting sliverish.
Now that is one big, ugly, UN-happy, and heavy contestant. Nice looking grain though and even though it has a problem on the back end you still got some good usable lumber out of it. As usual it is good to see all of you together and to hear the music of the mill and see the summer snow blowing in the wind.
Great video Mark, Eddie and ZZ Mark. Hope everyone's keeping well. That log certainly was rough looking but you got a few good boards from it. Take care.
My city once cut an old, humongous oak tree down and it was hollow. Bats were roosting in it. They said it was a foot or two deep at the bottom with bat poop. 😅
@@garybessey2184 Here is some more information about bat poop that may interest you. "In the U.S., bat guano was harvested from caves as early as the 1780s to manufacture gunpowder. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Union's blockade of the southern Confederate States of America meant that the Confederacy resorted to mining guano from caves to produce saltpetre. One Confederate guano kiln in New Braunfels, Texas, had a daily output of 100 lb (45 kg) of saltpetre, produced from 2,500 lb (1,100 kg) of guano from two area caves. Simons, Jim (January 1998).

Hey, that might be a waste of time from a sawmill / saw-miller's perspective but from viewers' perspective it was quite a departure from all them, erm, "run of the mill" (pun not intended) more or less straight and unexciting logs - this was more on "but how is he going to saw it?" side - think "suspension", or "this got me hooked on". Also, as others have said already, you've got SOME usable and decent wood of it anyway - it's another matter whether it was actually profitable though. Still, a captivating show!
Eleven o’clock at night beautiful grain in that ugly old log it did yield some nice boards, thought I’d do maintenance on my big lathe now I’ve slowed down tail stock carriage and top slid are in bits cleaned and repaired , took the head off the mill new bearings and belt table is next along with my other lathe and the rest of the workshop it’ll stop me from getting bored, anyway you guys have a nice day
Hi Mark. Yes. That was the worst oak log. I ever seen here at Bus Motors Production. I've seen " pot soil" of other oak trees in the past. Our town's public trucks cut huge oak w/ 6 to 8 inch" potting soil" centers. The "potting soil & sandust is spread everywhere on the stumps & grounds. One town's oak tree had a massive carpenter ant colony scattered everywhere! 😲😲😲😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔 What a mess that oak tree was. WHISTLE! At least. You filled your order Mark. Say Hi to Ed, & ZZ for me. Until the next video. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@markgalicic7788 Yes! Agree. Honestly. It my first " potting soil tree" on your sawmill Mark. During my first 7 years of farming. We go to a sawmill or furniture shop. To get wood shavings/ sawdust for our animal's stalls. This the year 1988. Then went back 12 yrs later to our compost piles. We had " peat moss like" material. We had 4 types of clay for soil. The " peat moss/ compost pile help break down the dense clay soil. We cleared 2 huge compost piles for gardens & flower beds. Not one wood shavings/ sawdust was found. Pure peat moss like material. Thanks. Have a good Friday the 19th. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mr. Oak if you're nasty. a reference to J. Jackson song 1986. i realize you don't care and, in my youth i felled a big pine, limbed it, loaded with friends on a flatbed, took it to the miller who had a V8 placed in a pit to power his 5ft 6in circular blade and we paid him for 2x6 & 2x4. i gave a Like.
Bad log Mark. You need to better appreciate the pure joy of dicing-up volunteer log victims, it's not just all about what you can get out of it. It's like the same joy you get out of tying helpless damsels to railroad tracks even if the train is running late. You have appreciate the little things. Glad The Dynamic Off-Barer Duo is back.
Uuuu this is cool, biutiful Mark, im sorry to ask this but can I get more video of the edger, its so satisfying bro, sorry if I bothered you bro , thank uou
