- In todays video I’ll saw through 3 white oak logs! I’ll get 3 cross ties and 4/4 grade lumber off of the sides. If you enjoy the video, please give it a like and hit that subscribe button.
Whoever invented the vertical edger is a friggin genius!
I have never seen the two horizontal blades that take the place of a secondary edging operation, that is genius. What a time savings.
now that is clever technology 💥💥💥💥
Wow, I've never seen a machine that could make THREE simultaneous wood cuts before, set the wood up flawlessly each time & to be cut precisely automatically... and it's obviously an older machine, too! NICE! THANKS...
Thank you!!
I remember the portables powered by VW motors that had the edger blade on the side. They cut a lot of lumber.@@Helmsburgsawmill
First time seeing vertical edging and sawing at the same time. Only to have to handle lumber one time has to be a game changer.
It’s very nice! It really speeds up the operation
Impressive setup. Those saws at 90 degrees are quite the time saver.
It's called a vertical edger, they've been around for a good while
That is an awesome sawmill. Very nice.
I appreciate it!
love white oak. Nice set up...
You have a very well thought through set up

SWEET mill! The one down the road is a 4-bolster Frick with a 6-71. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Likewise and that mill is ALL manual.@@Helmsburgsawmill
Put the camera in the cab with you and give some commentary as you saw. It would be interesting to hear why you make the cuts that you do. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for your input! I’ve actually been thinking about that. It would probably be way easier to commentate
It would be interesting to see how you do things and to do a mental comparison with other mills.
Please don't. I can't watch bus motor's (Mark G.) videos because he never shuts up. We just want to hear the mill and machinery!

The edging saws like that are cool makes for 1 less skilled job in the system.
Is white oak the only species used for ties ? I really enjoy your content .
I appreciate the comment! And nope. They use White and Red Oak, Hickory, soft and hard maple, beach, and sycamore if it isn’t too shaky
I may have missed a few. Those are the populate ones in my region. I also left out Sweet and black gum
@Helmsburgsawmill...This was an awesome video, thanks for the great editing!
In the early 1960's we cut all of 'your species' plus post oak, black oak, hackberry and elm....and, like you I may have missed a few.... We also occasionally cut switch ties (7" X 9" X 10' through 14') if the wood was higher quality.
Where is your 'treating plant'/buyer located?
Those are some big logs. Whats the cross tie going to be used for?
The cross tie is also referred to as a railroad tie! Those bad boys will be getting thrown under some railroad tracks
@@Helmsburgsawmill Of course they will be treated with some sort of preservative like creosote
How is your grandpa doing? I hope that all is well with him and the rest of your family.
How often do you have logs large enough to use the top saw?
It just depends on the batch of logs that I’m in! If I get into a batch of good logs, I’ll just leave it on all day. I’ll use it almost every log. Other days maybe on just a few logs
What kind of carriage is this?
America! Fuck yeah!
😂😂😂
Why is everything backwards
I’m glad you asked! I was wondering when someone would notice. The mill is considered a left handed mill
Even the saw is hammered the other way
That would be hard for me to run
Better math no shim
The sawyer making to maney mistakes. Not turning the log soon enough. And using the edger when not needed.
The ties are the priority on these logs. The lumber is just a product. You split the first face strips with the edger so they don’t clog the grinder👍👍
I run the same style mill with vertical edger and I use the edger the same way. So the chipper doesn’t get jammed up. Less downtime means more money for the mill
Oh the irony. Too maney mistakes 😂
Why were the ties priority? They look like beautiful logs.
Let's see your sawyer video...
