Always interesting to watch log cutting. We often get to see the edger machine in action but I would like to see more of the processing of the odd shaped pieces like the thick teardrop shaped ones. Keep up the good work, Eddie!
It is interesting to show the perspective from your side of the blade. I live next to a sawmill that is no longer in operation. It was run by a husband-and-wife Andy and Marion Edwards, which both have passed away. It was a small operation, they had a Amidon mill which was run by a Leroi Motor. They were great neighbors and friends. I witnessed their struggles firsthand whether it was dealing with town zoning board, getting logs, as most hardwood from the area was being sent to Canada, or breakdowns. It wasn't an easy life I have much respect for you and Mark running a mill. You guys make a great team, and I enjoy your videos.
When I retired, I was the Senior Health, SAFETY, and Environmental Engineer for a chemical company. I fully understand the need for safety everywhere. Bill
As always a great video and conversation. Every time I look at your Jimmy it brings back memories. Many years ago I worked on so many I would bet I could put them together blind folded. Coming from urban San Diego, it is always amazing you have logs to mill. I have to go to Home Depot or another outlet to buy preprocessed lumber. . It's a shame to use some of that as trailer decking but it's cheaper than Home Depot 🤣🤣
Hi Ed. Not bad low boy decking. That was a close call on the last cut of the 2nd log. WHISTLE! During my 37yrs of firewood logger. I seen so many scenarios of trees breaking after it falls. Fortunately. I was safe & no problems. 🥰🙂😉👍Safety was top priority. During all types of jobs. ( Just had bad luck w/ ladders. 9 accidents later. I walk w/ my cane now.) Well. Say Hi to Mark, ZZ, Pete, Hank & the newer guy. 🥰🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sure was looking like that second log would just assume it turn into toothpicks rather than low boy decking. Yup, you can't be too safe in anything you do. For us that's why we no longer keep a bull on the dairy farm. Have a great day Mr. Horvath and crew.... Be safe always!!
Nice video Eddie. Word of the day "SAFETY" Your right 100% > That shattered log, i was thinking it could shoot a "missile" of the end of that log.. Make your blue jeans tighten a little :) Safety is the first and foremost important aspect of any job really - ty Eddie always enjoy :) ❤💯🙏
Back when we were all much younger, I chopped a show with some very nice straight oaks. I was very disappointed when I saw our scale tickets. The mill had noted that most of the oak we had sent in was "black oat" and therefore only paid slightly more than white pine per board foot. We took a beating on that lot. I went to the mill and watched some of the black oak sawn out. I quickly learned to tell the difference between standing Red Oak, well deserving of a capital letter, and standing black oak. Thatvwas in New Hampshire. Most of our oak was top quality Red Oak. Here in Ohio, most of the standing hardwood we buy is only black oat, very disappointing in comparison.
Safety is a good word . Yes , I saw that second log Eddie . I told my wife It broke when it fell . A tree looks good ,but when in hits the ground you find out how good it is . Seeya
Eddie, what was the channel for the sawyer the died from cancer? It was he and his wife. She ran the lower end and he sawed and spun yarns from the 'cab' of his mill.
@@TheEddie1014 Maybe you ALL having to eat was the problem, Hank didn't want to buy for everyone, so he was ordering on the sly. He probably had a hoagie delivered behind some log pile, and ate it behind the saw dust house.
Hey Eddie, Did Mark eversay if he could see the face on the yellow disc he uses to determine the distance the log is from the blade? The mrkings on the top are the eyes, the bolt in the centr is the nose and lower markings is the mouth. It has to be on an angle to where you are standing. I can't help but see it now.
Both of those logs posed some very serious safety concerns. The micro cracking in the first one was bad enough, but the apparent shake damage in the second one could have really injured someone. Safety is not just a word, but a way of life and is not something to be disregarded or circumvented. rash or haphazard actions only lead to bad things happening.
Five o’clock in the morning that looks good decking coming off the mill, had a night shift last night I repaired some railings in the cemetery that yobs had bent and broken , so I thought they needed a lesson so I put some trip lines up and the widow women gave me a hand said she could scream and I took three big mamutes she had white makeup on her face , well they turned up at the railings she stood up in a bush and screamed dogs started howling and the took off falling over the trips running into trees running through bushes a rabbit wouldn’t go , must admit that screaming put the habits up on the back of my neck but it was funny watching them run , think they might need clean underwear police were called out but they didn’t find anything there taking it seriously as these youths could of been seriously hurt , makes you wonder if the police are fit for purpose till you find out two of thems fathers use funny hand shakes and wear aprons any way you have a nice day
