The poplar is getting ready to pop the blooms before long around here. The honeybees will be happy little buggers for a while. They pull a pile of nectar out of those pretty yellar flowers. Make one of my favorite honeys with it too. Dark as it comes with rich bold flavor. Good stuff!
❤ Well Done Tips you should make a couple of camera mounts on the Wall in front off the mill so we can see how you change the position off the horizontal saw blades Thank You for sharing 👍
It’s nice to see a face behind the voice. Did anyone tell you you have a a face suited for a radio, L O L, how long did it take you to learn to run the meal or are you still learning. You are doing an excellent job, young man, some other channels do one log and then fill it in with a conversation of some sort, but I’m watching the channel to see and hear the sawmill run not your conversation. Keep up the good work, sir. God bless stay safe. ✌️🇨🇦
I appreciate this one sir! And I’ve been hopping in the cage since I was 18, with my grandpa behind me in the cage for bits at a time. I’ve also been doing saw maintenance since I was a kid. Pulling and setting teeth. There’s pretty detailed mechanical stuff involved if certain things break. I can fix some things but not everything and my dad likes to come in before work and fix things. God Bless!!
We cut 1 3/8 stringers out of poplar cants so we cut our cants at 4 3/4 … 6 1/4…. 7 3/4… 9 1/4.. and 10 3/4 have to account for an inside blade then 9 more sawblades
3 1/2 X 6 1/4 works really good. Cuz then you can cut 3 1/2 pallet stock or stand it up and cut 7/8 X 6 or 7/8 X 5 7/8 the gangsaw rips it and plains it in one pass
Have you considered to add a wood chipper to your sawmill. You can sell ships to ground maintenance companies or donate chipps to nurseries and thus take a tax deduction.
Blowers suck it out of the building into a funnel that drips down into a bin out back. We sell it to customers and if we get too much, we have people who will come get it with a semi
@@Helmsburgsawmill I also watch Mark Galicic's channel and he said his mill originally had edger blades like yours but it would blow sawdust everywhere and the time you spent cleaning up is made up in a separate edger. Mark talks a lot on his channel, i like your minimal chatter but would be okay with occasional chatter . thanks for the videos. frank
Small updates! The heating and cooling guy has been doing some work. I’ve also gotten some other steps prepped for here coming up. When there’s anything cool that happens I’ll upload it!

Sounds satisfying! Looking forward to enjoying the music of the tulip poplar saw-mill in action.
I'd like to see the log being loaded and turned too.
Great video as always. Andy working hard!
Andy and Sam the unsung heroes. Jub well done. ❤❤
Thank you Andy and Sam!
I love these videos. I sleep to them. This guy knows how to shut the hell up and start sawing
ty amazing job
Crushed the board footage in this one. Sweet.
Nice bit of work on the lower end of the mill. they definitely have to keep 0n their toes.
“What size writhing knife do you use”
*Laughs in condescension”

Make sure to support the channel by liking, watching, and sharing the video!
what are the cants for? Pallets
Is that just your eyes to determine cuts or computer assistance?
My eye’s and I have lasers! I have no computers
Who runs the camera while you're sawing?
Mr. Sam!
@@Helmsburgsawmill Thanks! And thank you Mr Sam!
hey Ian, great vid. what size do you cut the cants? also what do you do with them?
The cants are 3 1/2” thick, and I cut them from 6-10” wide
And they get delivered to a pallet facility and they rip them down and make pallets!

We got one! And we do a little bit of that
@joshuaungler. As a business strategy I'm curious as to why you would suggest donating chips to a for profit business like a nursery?
how do you get rid of all the sawdust from the mill area?
