In the 60's I worked at LaDuke and Erskine Lumber, and I miss the Saw mills I enjoy working around wood FIR and Hemlock etc. it was impressive to see how a Shot- Gun Feed can cut up a tree in a few minutes!!
Thanks Billy, you can still get a good idea of the process. I don't think I've seen any other videos that show the process start to finish quite like this one, glad you liked it.
It was really interesting to me and figured it might be to others, really glad you liked it. One of my goals is to share the industrial side of our area with a wider audience.
you revealed things other videos over look ,, I appreciate that.. reading the comment section I never considered myself a saw "doctor" I profess to be a "SAW SMYTHE " or smith if you prefer simple ole' slang. I assume band and small circular blades are very disposable compared to the Insert tooth larger circular blade. thanks for the video.
I was thinking about CBNB products do you think if there were two sizes of woodchips that the ships that fill with wood chips could transport Noting that two sizes of woodchips would nest with each other the greater mass at the same volume could be efficient as well as earn more funds at each load or even attract more ships to CBNB wood products
+beinganangeltreon I really have no idea if that would work or not - but it sounds creative and probably has merit. Contact some of the wood products businesses and see what they think, good luck.
our sawmill is very small compared to yours we have one band rack saw stenner to break down the logs and a multi rip saw then its made in to fencing and sheds i do the saw doctoring for local sawmills.
Glad you replied to my question. If you ever get a chance to post up some video of the mill or you doing your saw doctor bit, let me know, I'd enjoy watching.
Talk about automation. Lots of jobs lost. And lumber still isn't cheap. I wonder how much of this goes to japan? You can still get high quality 2Xs at home depot if you look for them, i.e. small rings. it's not all the same quality.
Do you mean at the end? I wonder if they were a little distracted by our tour coming through. That line move pretty fast in my eyes but really only other people in the industry can tell if it is fast or slow. I appreciate your comments, thanks.
This has to have been the second worst "documentary" I've ever seen. The only one worse was taken by a group of British Girl Scouts on safari in East Africa. Bad camera handling, poor lighting, and no attempt at understandable continuity.
Million-dollar investment on equipment...........with an anticipated million-dollar return......how the hell can you make money with this cash-gobbler? Oh wait...there;s huge profit in wood chips, right?

To the person who made this video. Keep your day job.

This should be called the pecker pole sawmill. I didn't see anything bigger than 8"
Yes, they really do focus on small logs intentionally due to market forces and the local log supply. Glad you took the time to comment and view it.
They make matches.
well spruce and fir dont really get that big anyway lol Pine is way more fun to saw
2:35 I know that guy lol
Specializing in #3 common.

+MidWestBoy
hahahahahha savage
And now the warping begins.
Well, they do ship green and kiln dried so I suppose that will happen with some boards. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad you liked it and thanks for checking it out. I wonder what kind of mills you have over there?
lots of knots in them boards.

J Neils ,st Regis Libby montana 1976 Green chain with 20 pullers alot different but yet the same did 500,000 board feet in 8 hour shift
gerald morain That's crazy! Lots of things have been automated but green chain is still hard work no matter how you look at it.
dont they ever show wood chip car loading at a mill NEVER!!
They wrap there units too slow they are buried.

Everybody is a critic on youtube huh ?
