sawing the last few cherry logs that I bought for $250 and some nice grain in these longer logs , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgaliciccha...
OMG! You guys are lucky to get to saw up that pretty wood and pick out the best to bring home. While smell-o-vision would be cool, I can totally smell it anyways!
Another super awesome video. Cherry is my favorite wood that grows in the US. I also love hickory but cherry makes the most beautiful furniture you can hope for. Just my opinion. Anyway, I love your videos, please, please, keep them coming. I will watch EVERY one as long as I am alive. Thank you Mark and T.H.E, and ZZ.
I love to sit down with a coffee put you on I love to let go you like a holiday for my head better than if I pay out for a film I be from the u.k. in glos
I am a nerd when it comes to the intricacies of milling wood, but watching the process prompts a number of questions: (1) the extremely rough-sawn facing of these cherry logs certainly will require aggressive/progressive sanding or planing to prepare it for the craftsman. This obviously will reduce its thickness, board by board. Are there saw blades that make finer cuts through these timbers to reduce the need for such deep planing? (2) When you sell this high-quality wood, do craftsmen expect their boards to be finished and sanded, or do you leave it up to them to remove the live edges and plane their own wood? (3) Could there possibly be future videos that feature the work of the craftsmen who purchase your lumber so we can see how they take what you prepare for them and create the fine furniture, cabinets or trunks they're known for?
If you're building cabinets or furniture you're going to buy rough sawn like he's producing in this video. The reason is cost of material. If you're buying finish planed boards you are going to be spending some serious dough. For circular saws they generally don't use finer teeth to get a better surface finish on the sawmill because that's not the job of the sawmill. The only way to get a better surface finish with a circular saw is to have a blade with more teeth. This results in a finer cut but again you don't care a whole lot about surface finish when sawmilling. You just want dimensions to be accurate.
@@verteup I understand now - thank you. I guess it would be up to the craftsman to get quality wood from a local mill that may be a but rough but could be planed down well enough for fine construction purposes. This makes total sense and I appreciate the explanation.
Thank you so much for the closeup view of the edger, old rusty but very efficient tool. I really enjoy watching you get the best out of these beauties each time. God bless
If someone would have told me that I would sit here mesmerized for 30 minutes watching wood get cut I would have said they were crazy.. but I did and I learned a lot and enjoyed watching you get the most out of those two logs! thanks!
Love your videos, and as a lifelong joiner, I really appreciate seeing some of the lovely timber that you cut. I wish you were here in the UK, would definitely visit. Thanks again.
Over the years I've bought 3 black cherry logs here in RI. It's about the only wood that I work in...yes I am drooling! I in awe of your equipment and your sawyer skills. My largest tree was 33"x10'
I really enjoy your music Dave, very relaxing. Please use a longer piece of timber when removing bark from the block Mark, one slip from Chewy and it could be bad. Love the channel and the crew! You are all doing a great job. Thanks for all your hard work and editing.
I didn’t notice until today just how much brighter the new light made things back by the log deck. The laser really stands out now. One over the saw and one or two down by Eddie and you’ll be set. I agree with all the comments on the edger cam. Now we need a video on how you like to sticker all the new goodies. I’ve had to bag my plans to come out to Paul Bunyan. Too damn many things to get done around here. Yinz have a good time.
Mark, you're enthusiasm while sawing your first cherry log today really adds to the viewers enjoyment while watching..... habitual "booms" not withstanding, Thanks for the fun!
HI MARK on all the old sawmills U didn't have a laser on them U sawed by eye 😉 and what U pulled the Rachel 2 on the lumber gage wheel that's still all old school 2 day 😉 OMG 1O 17 2O22
Mark, you must have a home for the old edger when the cook comes? Great sawing I really enjoy hearing your thought process for the grade sawing. Be well
Here in UK, we also call it 'boxing the heart' and that part which is left with the heart is always used for structural beams as it generally is the most dimensionally-stable part of the log. I love milling cherry, it has an almond-like scent, almost like you want to eat it!
My girlfriend texted me while I was watching your video want to know what I was doing so I told her I was drooling over a log and trying to figure out how to get smell-a-vision on my tablet. Lol, she didn't have a clue! Thanks for the entertainment!
I cannont hear I am 84 and need the closed captions...Please if you can include them... I was born ane raised in timber country... lots of various kinds... I tried to buy a piece of land with a verry old Walnut tree on it and someone told me it was worth 10 grand... I cannot confirm my belief... I did not have the money to buy the property... it had two live springs on it and a spring branch tha ran all year!!!
Hey Mr. Mark, I just can't find any slab saws for sale like the one on your line. I knew of one at a local mill here but it and the mill are gone now. If you happen to see a pendulum saw on the market I would appreciate it if you would notify me. Thanks, Shannon
Please educate your audience how you determine the approximate age, value and highest and best use of your trees trunk. And what is the most popular tree that your clients request. Gerald P. Rothman Captian
I love your excitement. I bet that smells great. Once that goes in the planer and sander............that will be some great looking wood. I hope that you new saw gets here soon.
Boy this get me in trouble! Why does band saw use water or coolant and nothing on the blade? Like oil and chain saw? Not sure the question why them and not you. Is is as simple as lathe some times needed and then not?
Could you mount a go pro on the boom post (w/electrical wiring) nearest the saw blade facing the action? Just a idea That might yield a better look when doing choice material. Excellent stuff nevertheless
I worked at a steel shop that was run by brothers. Their old man used to collect interesting dunnage that came under the steel and turn it into table legs.
Why is it called a ''CANT''? Idea; produce little sprayer bottles of different ''WOOD ODOURS'' and put them up for sale and when you saw a log, we can spray a mist and have the closest thing to ''SMELL-0-VISION'' Or pieces of wood sealed in smell-0-bags.
Hey Mr Mark hey Mr Eddie hey Mr ZZ mark Christmas is coming well guys I hope y'all go have a fun time at your house I don't remember what it's called You're fair or whatever y'all going to that Sawmill thing y'all guys going to have some fun there look out and see how some of the other guys do and don't y'all come back as partners with John Clark on freaking Jeep good luck Buddies God bless you all be careful
These are nice cherry logs,but where I live and worked in a sawmill in Oregon for 20 years these logs would be very small. We used to cut Doug fir logs up to 8 feet on the butt. We ran an average of 180 thousand board feet in a eight hour shift. I made a lot of lumber for thousands of houses. We ran a 12 inch band saw on the head rig and would cut 12 inch thick cants to put thru the bull saw that cut the dimensional lumber depending on what orders we had that night. The mill I worked in was all powered by steam engines and sent power to the saws with 10 inch leather and rubber belts. I was an off bearer for the headrig and stood 2 feet from that huge band saw all night long. It was one of the highest paying jobs because of the dangers involved. In 20 years I only had two saws break and a dozen or so come off the drive wheel. When that happen the sawyer would hit the emergency horn and you ran like hell was chasing you. One saw came off and cut the saw guides completely off ,the saw teeth that were 4 inches long were stuck in the rafters 20 feet away in the ceiling and where I'd been standing had 40 or more teeth stuck 3 inches in the wood floor. Fun job and the time flew by if you paid attention. If a guy didn't he wouldn't last long.
Great video. What size cuts were you making. I have a mill here in northwest Arkansas. I have several cherry logs but I don’t know what size to cut them. Those look like 4 quarter but not sure.
Mr. Question.,, what did you look at and or how do determine how many passes and when? Other to take Banana out why and when.,is my 10⁰0000 question? Thanks mark
Chicken wire on bottom to keep moles and gophers out, line inside with black plastic to keep boards from rotting, 6-8in fresh Chicken or horse manure to kill grass/weeds.
Thank you mark for the video. Wow that was some nice cherry. Have a pool table made out of cherry. Love it. Thanks for the edger video also. Have a great weekend
NICE stuff to work with after it gets dried out. No wonder Eddie likes that grain, him being the hardwood expert he iz! Happy show, Mark! Remain as calm as you can and I went over to the guys channel that got Mike and Maw Ruth's old mill. He's having a time but he'll get there. Thanks, Buddy and GBWYall!
Марк привет из Благовещенска, Россия!!!!! Мне кажется, что у тебя работают парни на пенсии из группы ZZ TOP???? Это правда или они нечаянно отрастили такие бороды??
I'm currently clearing out my bosses garden in England and it has a small wood in the backyard of the property....there is a massive oak tree that's fallen that I need to chop up, but it would be amazing if someone who knew how could do this process....you would get some lovely wood off of it for furniture rather than logs haha.
long time watcher from down under and watching and now i know whats after the bus motor sawing and the music on this clip just great well done production peoples great job
Im always watching the bandsaw mills. Then i see your mill. Its pretty incredible. Your saw is no joke. Its fast. It cuts big wood. And you do it all with just a few people it looks like. I need a job. When can i start
