the ugly log of the month ! A nasty knotty pin oak that gets sawed into a 6x8 landscape timber hope you enjoy! we have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/
When I was younger these type mills where everywhere at least in upstate SC , now I can’t think of any of this type still in operation . You sir are a true artist with your knowledge and skills !
Amazing machine! That first log actually yielded some beautiful grain. Not sure how stable or good it is, but beautiful none the less. But then of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A little thicker cut and some butterflied table tops comes to mind.
Really beautiful log. Glad I found your channel! I chainsaw mill logs, which can be extremely slow and time consuming needing to sharpen the chains. That sawmill looks unbelievably efficient
That was a very good session for us armchair, no office chair sawmillers. No more excuses about having time to keep us educated and entertained it is your lot in life to pass on your great knowledge to us thickose, I have learnt a lot about the job and the various types of timber whether I remember it is another matter. Thanks Mark for what you and your crew do for us all.
That first log may have been ugly, but it had some really interesting grain patterning in it! I appreciate your explaining what you're doing, such as when you say you cut to the big dimension first, because, obviously, if you can't get that out of the log, then you've got to regroup and see what you can get out of it. Makes sense, but I've never cut logs into lumber, so I never got to think about it. It's those little bits of a craftsman's information that I find really fascinating.
Hey Mark, I have to say This Pin Oak you just cut has some very nice color in it. And as you know, I am Not an expert on wood. With that being said I Think In My world it would make a nice book cabinet. Just a nice Clear Polyurethane on it. I like off the wall stuff like that. Thanks for the BOOMS !!! Give Eddie and Mark shout for me. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Mark's hidden safety tip: "Watch the back of the saw, people get hurt because of that!" Love hearing the safety warnings, no doubt hard won w/ years of experience.
Anyone who's old enough to have known life without the interweb, knows the value of information.....how hard it is to get, and how uncommon it is for people to share. Where do I hit the "donate" button to get Mark a better quality mic.....
Reminds me of he story on the Guy that was flicking his glove at the back of the saw blade, or was it the front.. for fun...the glove was grabbed by the saw and he was pulled in and cut the guy in half. The sawyer/operator was his father. Cant imagine going through that...
Hey Mark, Eddie and Mark! You are right, the 2 rough pin oak loafs are certainly contenders for the ugly log of the month honors! It is still amazing to see rough logs like that become quality dimensional lumber. What do you typically use the 1” boards for? Is most of it edged into farm grade dimensions? Can any of that random width farm grade lumber be processed into lumber stickers? Thanks again for the porcupine pin oak adventure!
Greetings from Ireland! Love the uglies... especially when a few turtles are born!! 😁 PS - Those were two of the prettiest toothpicks going! Real pretty!👍😁
Just curious, how do those 6"× 8" turn out after a couple years or drying, or after the kiln, without boxing the heart? In my mind they would really take off. Awesome video!
Speaking of locust, i just Canadian sawmilled some 2x14x14 locust planks for a shop bench. I dont see many people sawing it or milling it. Is there a reason for this? Im not experienced in lumber, will it crack or do something weird? Sure do enjoy these videos and content, thanks
As always your channel is soothing and informative and safety is paramount.unlike that Frikinjeep who always seems close to a visit to the emergency room 😳🦵🏻💪🏻🫳🏻🦶🏻! !
That first one was very ugly!!! I didn't think it was going to clean up as good as it did !!! The second one was nice after you got the turtles 🐢 off of it 😊👍🌎🌞
I go from #LetsDig18 to here to see the timber that will and up on #ShipHappens Great to see, should be part of school curriculum looking at manufacturing industries 🇬🇧
Mark, really enjoy the videos. Proud to see the State flag for South Dakota every time I watch! I think there should be a South Dakota license plate displayed beneath it. What is an address that I can send one to?
This brought to mind from many many years ago that Goofy from a cartoon strip headed into the the woods with an ax over his shoulder. He walked up to a very large tree and began to chop after several frames of this cartoon he was walking away from a huge pile of chips with a toothpick in his mouth!
with the summer coming up have you ever thought about reclaiming a car air conditioner from somewhere and with a little modification installing the compressor onto the bus motor and the evaporator inside your cab? I have been enjoying your videos too :)
Mark, I am fairly new to the channel. Could you point me to your video that explains how you get the logs, do you order them from foresters. How do you get your orders. Jerry in S.E. Pa.
