- What’s up CZcams? In today’s video, you’ll get to hear me a little today while I’m sawing inside my cage. You’ll also get to see a few other perspectives. I’ll throw in ripping off some 20’ Res Oak 2x12’s. Please like the video and hit that subscribe button!
Love the comments. Nice to recognize genuinely interested people sharing great knowledge. You can't just find it anywhere.
I really enjoy these longer videos, thanks.
I really am going to start making more. TBH they’re just harder to make and edit. I do them myself and I hate to say I’m a little out of time
Excellent video. You're the only sawyer on CZcams that I've come across that saws for grade intentionally and knows what FAS means. I love how you quickly and accurately balance speed, quality and yield. Enjoyable to watch a professional.
I really appreciate that! A positive comment can make someone’s day. I was hoping folks who know there stuff would pick up on what was going on!
I’ve never seen thee horizontal saw blades like you have ? You can edge and size as you saw ? That’s amazing. I’ve been around a lot of mills. That is the first time I’ve seen a saw like that. Really good videos. Keep them coming !
They sure!! They’ll all be different in their own way
That is great! Thank you. the. The narrative is informative.
Very nice , looks like your 4th dog didn`t quite catch that width. Edger is the nuts.
Ya there are a few things that need worked on the carriage. But I assure you those board are accurate and the same both ends:)
Love your videos. Can you show a little more of what your hands are doing as you saw?
Absolutely
I worked in a sawmill for 30 years. Maybe U could show a video of feeding the log infeed deck. Show Ur barker. Also show were the slash on the end of the chain goes.
Look back through his collection of videos. Seek and you will find.
And there’s so much more to come.
Love this video
Many more to come sir!
Are able to produce some boards that will grade out as "quarter-sawn"?
Nope. It’s just a flat cut mill. The edgers would get in the way. You have to quarter the log first.
So after watching a few more of your videos now I understand that you guys grind all your slabs and waste into chips. And I can assume that you have a market for those chips as well as the bark? I also noticed your handlers aren't "Sticking" the lumber as they are stacking it. So i can assume that you guys do NOT have a way to dry this lumber out side of air drying over time??
Yes we grind them and have markets for all of our by products! And this particular batch is getting shipped directly to a buyer. We don’t have a kiln. But we do stick our own lumber and we sell air dryer to the public
Is it hard for you to tell when the cant is bowing up and needs to be flipped 180° so as not to get thick and thin lumber?
Nope! I can almost always tell when a piece is bowing
Does poplar stink like cottonwood does? Can you set the knees for taper?
Poplar actually smells kind of sweet earthy! And I sure can. I can extent each bunk out individually. I use it on almost every log to center up the heart
@@Helmsburgsawmill tks for the reply. As I only know softwood lumber it's interesting to learn about the hardwood species. I asked about setting for taper as I hadn't noticed it being done in earlier videos. First clue that told me that you were setting was there wasn't any short boards.
Yes! If those logs had more of a flare I probably would’ve gotten some shorter boards
Are you cutting for a house package this time?
This is load of grade lumber that is getting ship to macbeath heardwoods to be turned into whatever they see fit🤷 it could be turned into flooring, or even just milled down into smaller pieces that are more like trim boards
Good sawing and good sawmill setup
Anyone else wish he didn’t speed up the videos?
Not me.I think he gives a perfect balance
I gotta say man that setup that slow have green chain guys falling asleep
Check out my latest video…..
Also we don’t waste time with an edger.
Half the crew
Your view kinda sucks! The edger column is really wide. But, I guess you get used to it and do what you do very well and so quickly.
