we have a order for 100- 1x1's and 100- 1x3"s out of oak so this is a good time to test out the sawblade, hope you enjoy! we have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/
My goodness that new blade goes through that oak like a hot knife trough butter! Many moons ago when I worked at a sawmill, I remember when we put a new 56 inch blade on our mill. It was the same as with you now, nothing but smoth even production. Stay safe and God bless!
Gidday from NZ. I used to work with my father on his mill' a handy tailing out tool for grabbing the slabs was a piece of 3/4 Galv pipe 9" long with a Right Angle Triangle of 1/4 plate steel 1 3/4" long to 1" base. Weld the 1"base to the side and end of the pipe. Great for flicking into those wayward slabs and pulling them out of the way. I'm a Marine Cabinetmaker now, that was a beautiful oak log, nice wide planks, give your eye teeth for one of them here. $3870 for the blade.
Like butter! I always liked how white oak sawed. One of my first custom sawing jobs back in the 80`s was 10 k bf of big clear white oak , the farmer wanted it for pens in a bull barn! Sawed on a manual Lane mill powered by a 1964 401 ci. Case diesel power unit. This is why my back is pretty gone now LOL . Set up a lot like yours. In the end we had an EM16 Morbark debarker ,home made log decks with stop and loaders ,#1 Lane semi auto with Barry feed, Melott log turner ext . Nice to see the circle mills kept alive.
Lot of sawing BUT if they have the money...........! We use rebar for stakes. We used bamboo for a while but it was a pain with all the splintery edges and with reber, wherever you tie onto it is where it stays. Glad you had Captain Horvath and ZZ Mark and the gnome favors those two. Happy weekend and God Bless
ZZ Mark here. Mark G was at the eye doctor just about all day yesterday having a procedure done on one of his eyeballs and his is not able to see the computer screen to answer all of the comments that are coming in. Yesterday’s video didn’t post until later in the day also. But Mark is home and recovering,and he does plan on being at the sawmill Saturday. So, I am going to have a go at replying to some of the comments and watching those guesses on the price of the new saw blade that have been coming in. You are getting closer and closer to the number! I didn’t even know it until Mark just told me. Thanks for watching the movie and have some positive thoughts for Mark as he recovers. I’ll let him fill you in on the details. ZZ Mark
That is a very nice oak log there it may have been a ugly log at first but a very nice looking one on the inside. Your right that new saw blade loves this hard wood looks like she is running true
We just bought a 48" diameter blade for our buzz saw. Maybe we paid a little too much. Sammy better hang on. Dad says he needs an upgrade of PPE starting with a helmet. 🤣 We couldn't tell does Sammy using hearing protection??
Thanks for watching the movie Anthony! Sammy is doing a good job so far, maybe he isn’t one of those that leads by example. No “Oh no, Mr. Bill” moments yet! ZZ Mark
Bummer about the eyeball. I have issues after working on computer (confuser) and have found that eye drops help a lot. Hang in there Mark. Loved the video - you guys are fun to watch and love to see the beautiful wood as it is uncovered. Saw blade $ 2025
Thanks, guys - enjoyed! And good to see Sammy, the pointy-headed safety guy, keeping tabs on the operation from the end of the log deck where he could observe without being in the way. Yo, Sammy!
Thanks for watching MrPossumeyes! Sammy is becoming a integral part of the saw mill crew! Somehow the little guy makes safety fun…funnier…bearable, yeah, bearable. Hope he puts a smile on your face! ZZ Mark
@@mark6062 I like seeing Sammy keeping tabs on things, ZZ (Mark). Some safety guys are a pain in the ... round, soft thing, but Sammy just keeps an eye on things, in YOUR interests.
Wow Mark. That new saw blade spins so true and flawlessly that it is difficult to tell that it is in motion. Regardless of the price, that new saw blade is worth every penny. It was slicing through that oak log like a hot knife through butter. Great to see the bearded crew back in full force including the safety gnome! You may need to consider growing a beard Mark! L
Thanks for watching the videos Randall! New blade is working out really well. I don’t know what Mark would look like in a beard- we may find out soon! ZZ Mark
you have gotten so skilled in the last couple years, it's a pleasure to watch you work.... sure wish I had a slab of that oak, could make a few nice things for sure
He still has a lot to learn if production and yield is important. With a mill like that and plenty of power as well as a good tail sawyer on an edger and a couple good lumber stackers a GOOD sawyer can produce well over 2000 BF per hour sawing for grade.
You guys do great! Disappointing to see so many “armchair sawyers” in comments…these folks do this for income while you’all sit at home griping about wood waste, stop sign cutting, 1 by cutting, etc.
A saw blade is quicker in cutting the run of the mill stick sizes in lumber or timber. Band saws cutting big slabs is one thing to make table tops, but you need planks to make standard furniture items like cupboards and shelving and oe legs excetera. A lot if the lumber cut on this channel is destined for external exterior construction use like decks and general building use.
