The sawmill brings childhood memories. back in the 70's my dad would take his old 55 chevrolet dumptruck to a nearby sawmill when they were sawing hardwood. Instead of burning the slabs they would load them on the back of the truck. It would take all day but they would fill up the truck and he would go back and get it late that afternoon. We kept warm a lot of winters by cutting the slabs into firewood length and burning in the wood heater. Glad to see that someone is still sawing the old fashioned way.
Boy , I’d like to have about 4 bundles of that slab wood . I’d be build in a nice hunting hut in the woods out back . I have one that I built when we had a sawmill in town , but it burnt down few years ago and they said not going to put it back together. Built nice 8x8 x7 Hut , small 40 gal barrel wood stove , 2 bunks on wall that fold up or drop down on chains , 4 windows to shoot out of , door , and a home made pee bottle with pipe that goes in ground. And a camping toilet. Great to see working the mill , love the grain in some of that wood . Nice for building things with like tables, chairs , lawn swings , picnic table, much more. Well all of you stay safe and stay country….
Nice to watch somebody actually having to know how to cut a long to square it up instead of a computer looking at it and deciding how it will but cut that's pretty much a lost art anymore
I don't know Why and old Woman would like to Watch Sawmill work or cutting timber in the woods. Logs or Whatever!! BUT I DO!! Enjoyed as Always! God Bless & Take Care
Good looking crossties. Like that sawmill setup. Y’all still got some nice color left on the leaves on the trees there. We in upper East Tn and our leaves are about all gone. Can’t get over how much Conner is growing! Dad is looking good. Hope mom, Chloe and Ike are doing ok. Good video ❤
This was a wonderful video ,when l was in my teens we had a creosote bath we would run them off of the mill and dump them in the tank they had to stay in the tank for a couple of weeks i think, Then we deliver them to the coal mines ,
I thought that when a tree is cur down you first have to rid of its juices, there for they lay a certain time in water, then they have to dry before cutting en using the wood. Other wise it starts to grow again.
I’m glad railroad needs railroad tie’s,that’s a good thing , what happens when all the trees 🌲 big enough for tie’s are gone ??? Thanks BigAl California ,, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Trees are growing back faster than they are being cut. But people don't realize it. If timber isn't harvested and managed the way the good Lord meant for it to be, the good Lord will manage it for you. Either by fire, tornados, or just whatever he chooses.
Hey Landon I didn't know there was Pythons in TN . I was think it be too cold for pythons too be out in fall . Con cracks me up in videos you Crack me up too Lan

What do ya do with all the slabwood?
I’m actually filming a video today if what we do with it!
What does a 7x9 tie bring?
I believe we maybe averaged 34 this time
How much do you get for a bundle of slabs?
Normally 30 dollars Bob
