ok, gang, but can we take a moment to respond to the narrators voice, cadence, and use of language? This gal is great. Her enunciation is crisp and clear, and she speaks slowly and susinctly.....just wonderful to listen to!
Excellent video footage. Nice edger even though it isnt Orange. If all our youth worked as hard as y'all this day in time. Wear some gloves save your little hands. 👍🇺🇸
We had the Woodmiser two saw , with the return rolls on top , two guys , 25,000 fbm per shift , sorted to size and grade , a lot of the slabs were full 2 inch , and stickers were put in every 2 feet to aid drying . I loved that little edger . . You ladies can work for me anytime ... I sure wish my yard was as neat as your's well done ladies
I used to use a breast bench in a sawmill, but when we upgraded to an edger it made production so much easier and quicker, although I've operated all kinds of edgers. I truly appreciate the manual labour that goes in to using a breast bench
Pretty awesome, never heard of a machine like this. Does this save a ton of time over making cants on a sawmill? I assume it's an efficiency thing eh? Pretty neat :)
I raised five daughters in the country so ladies if your in the wood yard put that hair up or stay out of it... If you get caught it will make you permanently ugly quick ! Stay safe and don't take chances on fate or you will loose one tragic day.
@Wayne Dawson At school learning English, which is _where_ you should be. There's no reason a sawmill cannot be run entirely by women, except in your teeny tiny brain.
Most have a fixed circle blade on one side and one you adjust with a lever on the other. Some have fixed notches for 4-6-8-10-12" widths, others you simply eyeball the moving blade to the board and let it rip.
I like the video! Going to check your other videos! One note though: Maybe you should keep your microphone a little farther away from your mouth, sometimes you can hear squishy and popping sounds.
Pura vida amigas that machine will be a dream in my country because I could work with cocobola. Cedro .ron ron fine precious wood lumber from my country pura vida
You pay attention when you run the edger. Kickbacks can kill you. My dad ran a edger at a big sawmill in Illinois and it kicked back a board so hard the dogs didn’t stop it. He got hit in the stomach and it almost broke his back. He was down in the hospital for a week and didn’t go back to work for 2 months. A second set of dogs would have protected him. They installed a second set in front of the first ones and never kicked back like that again. Stay safe and great video.
Y'all are two hard working young ladies. I enjoy watching your channel. My wife and I are planning to go into the mobile on site sawmilling business we have LT40 super ordered that will be here in December.
@@AlmostItalianBrothers I ordered mine about the second week of February it was a 39 week wait then. When I was in high school from '95-'99 the ag. dept had a woodmizer that we milled lumber on and I have wanted one ever since. I have not ran a mill since then but I have always kept up with the technology and I always look at all the mills when I go to the Mother Earth Fare every year. I have the opportunity to take different deduction in life so I am going to go at it wide open. I am doing all the research I can before the mill gets here so hopefully I can hit the ground running.
you guys seem to be doing well without one, buy where I worked when I was young, they had a shadow box. It cast lines onto the board, so the operator had a better idea of where to put the board.
Wow, that’s useful! What do you do with the excess wood that you don’t use coming off the edger? I would think it would be nice to chip. This operation is so cool, I still can’t get over it! Do you plan on posting videos more than once a week?
I know right? You will definitely want to consider getting one along with your LT40. I only post on Sundays but don’t worry I will definitely make those LT40 videos you have been wanting!
Have you thought of have muti disc saws in your edger however I see that your present adaptation as just a contingency and definitely hard work ethics are your family forte = conscientiously viewing
Side note. In South Louisiana a flitch is a wet fart that leaves debris where you don’t want it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard this word used for anything other. Now I know!!
God's polygamist Church waiting on plastic surgery so I can walk again and waiting on wound care food and meds diabetic medicine talk to you later be safe Paul Taylor second golf we're back
How refreshing to see a couple of gals actually showing skill and doing the work, not dressed like Instagram models just trying to exploit their looks for views.
so that's how you cut a lot of your batons on the narrow stuff that is the neatest machine I ever seen I've never seen one before but I'm just a carpenter I've never ran a sawmill except my dad's little sawmill in the pasture
Will you please highlight the reasons that you chose to move onto the Lt 40 from the 35 What did you gain, and why was this necessary? I currently have a woodland mills Hm130 max, looking to move up to a LT 35. But would like to know more about why the LT40
We have grown significantly as a business, we started out originally with an LT15 and have upgraded as we have grown. The LT40 has a much bigger engine so it can go a lot faster, it also has a board drawback so it is a lot more efficient because the swamper doesn’t have to walk around the mill to remove the material. I hope that helped!
What’s the reason you ended up getting the stationary controls on the LT40? We plan on getting the walk behind controls but what are your thoughts on that? Also we really don’t want to be wearing a mask every time we mill, so do the stationary controls help with breathing in sawdust?
I never had to much trouble with sawdust, even running the LT35 which you had to walk behind. But it does help with sawdust a little, especially on windy days!
