My maternal grandfather passed in the mid sixties, I was to young and he to old to pass his skills on to me.
I do remember Christmas's that his handmade presents were under the tree. A toy chest or rocking horse or a piece of kid sized furniture.
Sure do miss those days with him. Treasure that time you have with yours. Years slide by so quickly.
I hope the girls learn how to sharpen those blades. It is beneficial to know how in the future. My Grandpa taught me how to sharpen chainsaws when I was too young to use one. He passed in 97 right in front of my dad and I while we were splitting his firewood when he could no longer do it. He was 83 and I was 21. I still think about him every day.
Your grandfather has the right talent and patience for a consistent Sharpening, your family is very fortunate ❤.
Thank you, Colonel.
I am very grateful to you for sharing your skills (and with great patience to detail) to all of us.
As a computer guy for 35 years, I am painfully reminded on a daily basis how useless I am in the real world.
So setting up my own lumber mill here in Europe should be an adventure.
Plus I am happy to see that you have lots of good quality help!
(puppies! the best kind of help any man can ask for!)
Believe it or not I see a lot of your grandpa in you girls, especially Jades eyes, they look just like her grandpas. What a wonderful man your grandpa must be. Thanks for this video.
As much as I enjoy Em and Jade, I just love cameos by The Dad and Grampa. Both have so much to offer in plain, down-to-earth talkin'. What an amazing skill set is assembled at Lumber Capital Log Yard!
I live in the PNW, and nothing you saw is really available here. Still, I am far more an end-user than Sawyer...altho my bro has one of those green Canadian mills we use on rare occasion. Certainly don't get your kind of production, but that may have something to do with our hydration supplies. 😮 😂😂😂
(...before y'all freak...three grown men, one six-pack. When the hydration cycle is complete, the mill goes to sleep. We are kinda attached to our fingers!)
Hello Emerald and Grandpa, interesting video again I must say. That is a cool sharpener, looks to do a real good job. The shop looks great. I hope you all are having a great evening. Hi Jade.
Hope this little comment puts things in perspective.
I worked for a company that had several different operations under its ownership. 1 just happen to be a fairly decent size bandsaw mill. New blades were roughly 12" wide and about 36' to 40' in length. Sharpening these blades could take an hour, depending on how dull or damaged they were. The blade filer normally took at least 2 passes and sometimes 3 to sharpen them. These were only steel and they needed to file teeth and gullets on each tooth. Same operation as what we see here, just on a much larger scale. I always found it fascinating to watch. 😊😊
There is always something to learn with any equipment, no matter if it is new or something you have used a million times.
You are so blessed to have your grandpa. I miss mine.
German Shepherd puppy is so cute! Best dogs ever!
Love seeing my big shepherd girl in the afternoons.
I hope Woodmizer sponsors you all. You do a great.job showcasing their equipment.
Way to go grandpa nice job. The oldest and youngest members of the crew at the same time. Excellent job ladies thank you for sharing. 👍♥️♥️
The Log Yard Ladies keep Grandpa busy and smiling. Always enjoy and appreciate his many skills & attention to detail.
Well said Sir, some members of a family are worth their weight in gold.
nice lookng shop Grandpa has there, as always Em, Little Buddy, great post!
Yes...a little goes a long way..! Great tut Grandpa!!! Thanks for sharing!!
C ya on the next video!

That machine, like every other one that you have in the business, no doubt, quite or very expensive. A whole lot cheaper than throwing blades out after one use. Whoever designed that machine knew what needed done and how it should be done. Hefty components so that it works just fine and will in the future.
Good video & info!! "Grandpa" is a good teacher... 👍🏼
Love the new puppy 😊
Your grandpa is a very talented man
If you do many of these carbide blades I recommend using a respirator. Carbide is a powdered metal product that contains cobalt. Even with coolant the mist can carry it into your lungs. Stay safe!
He runs wet plus he has a suction vent pipe (the white one he moved when taking the blade out). I think he's got it covered.....
It’s a good warning for people using carbide that don’t have the coolant and suction in place. Some people don’t know how bad that stuff is when you are using it on a regular basis.
Your new puppy is adorable! 🥰 🐕🦺
I totally trust this family ❤️
Thank yall for sharing...my grandad's been gone for long time gone..I remember everything
I would give anything just to have another day with mine. He's been gone for 30 years and I still remember the sound and tone of his voice. Those "old" people know how to work with their hands, something that is all but gone in todays world.
Grandpa is awesome!!! Smart man.
Awesome video ....I worked in the forest industry in British Columbia...(Vancouver Island). Canada...for 40 years as a saw filter ...you video brought back lots of memories of my years working on carbide tipped saw.s ..only difference was we completely retipped our saws..removed old car ide..ground the gullet ...retipped..topdressed..side dressed...and face ground for a perfect kerf ...mind you we had grinders designed for all that ...that being said ...I admire your gramp.s and the fact he.s so particular in his job for maximum use and perfection..Awesome man ..learn from him girl...men like him know what they talk about AND their a walking textbook of knowledge...that can.t be but into a book ....it.s called experience.....just as a hint...I know his grinder is not as big as what I worked with ...but by adjusting the pushfinger will give a more consistent and equal tooth face surface as well as a smoother surface on the wood ...keeping cutting 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for the demo/tour grandpa. I'm also curious to see how many sharpenings you get on a blade.
Love yall miller's and swampers. Grew up on a 00Frick. Ya grandpa probably knows. 😊
Grandpa knows his stuff he’s 100% correct you got a good when they’re girls
Love family businesses💯✊🇺🇸
The new style carbide blades are better a little more kerf to cut but the computer set on mill should be able to compensate for that easy. I talked with Boss Man about sharpening the carbide blades a while back but at the time didn't have proper stone as they were expensive and wasn't sure the first carbide blades could be sharpened. Glad they can be sharpened now. I did many circle "skill" saw carbides on belsaw machine but it got to be cheaper to just get new ones as there were no diamond wheels back then only "Green Wheels" and they wore out quickly. New pup acts like banjo always challenging to play LOL Great video ya'll take care now! John Toccoa GA
Nice video. The shop looks nice.
Love the flag on the wall ❤😊
A skilled workforce understanding of the process thank you
Best way to start the day off!!
We tried stellite tipped saws for a while. And they definitely last longer, no doubt. They are sharper and hold their edge better. The major drawback here is....unless you have your own stellite tipping equipment , its not cost effective. By the time you retipped saws, you could almost buy a new blade. Other than that, they are a superior tipped blade.
Thats cutting edge stuff your doing master millar my man!
That puppy is captivating you, nice! After all that's what their suppose to do.
Great video
WICKED COOL JOB GRANDDAD!!! AGAIN AS ALWAYS, TO THE RESCUE. KILLER WAY TO GAIN ANOTHER LIFE OR TWO OUT OF YOUR BLADES TOO. STAY COOL AND KEEP PUSHIN' ON LADIES... SAY HEY TO THE FOLKS, PEACE, PROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO
Gramma is a wealth of knowledge, learned from the university of common sense and hard work. Cheers! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😏
Love the puppies!
Thank you Grandpa, take a coffee break.
Good work 👍
Awesomeness Truespeak Thank You For All You Do LCLY Style ❤🌲🔥🇺🇸🆙
Tennessee didn't want to play with the new puppy too much...lol
Hi Emerald another great process video, just wanted to mention that when you reference a previous video you can add a little info link in the video top right corner via the youtube editor after you upload it. So that it appears for a number of seconds after you mention it, you can even include a thumbnail from the video you mention.
I don't know if it would be lucrative but sharpening other sawyers blades might be another venture, good work your channel is doing so well
Thank goodness for grampa, 😊
Are the results better with a carbide blade?. can you see a difference / better cut on the lumber itself?
Is that a young German Shepherd or, judging by the ears, a Belgian Malinois? I wouldn't make a scarf out of it, the Belgian Malinois is a super cool family dog, he's not to be trifled with when it comes to his loved ones. Special military and police units often use this breed of dog for self-protection. If I could have a dog, that would be my first choice. Grandfather has the regrinding of the saw blades completely under control - just like grandfathers can.
Let`s hang on to wise people that are Gems, no pun intended.

Good job Gran"MacGyver"Pa
💪🏻👨🏻🦳🔧🛠️🪛🧰🥇🏆❤
I sure got some good schooling on that sharpener. Thanks.
Just wondering if Grandpa was in the military he always dresses so squared away
Yep, adventures of barbie and puppy.
One tip is to use a black marker on a few tips to help see when you touch the blade
I just really noticed a great resemblance between Grampa and Jade! Those genes have definitely filtered through. Congratulations to Grampa..
Good job pap.🇺🇲
I am glad you can sharpen the carbide blades!
Emerald you have such beautiful eyes, take care of them and wear safety glasses around the machinery ,i know a guy that lost an eye due to a tooth breaking off a bandsaw blade and he was not even running the machine,it was ten feet away . Wrong place ,wrong time ,be careful.
Looks like grandpa is on speed dial !
Carbide blade should keep cutting as long as there's a hint of carbide on The cutting tooth
❤️❤️❤️😍Emerald😍❤️❤️❤️
Em, you need to take notes one day Grand-Pa won't be around to sharpen blades !
You gals need to dial in on what gramps is showing you by actually running the machine in due time. Plus we want to see you guys in action also.
How is the rebuilt skidder working??
Grandpa rules over that sharpener! Side business for LCLY? Not every sawyer is going to invest in a sophisticated sharpener like that! Very impressive skills!
Increase the blade clamp pressure just a bit more for consistency..
Where did you guys get your stone for sharpening those blades? I have the same sharpener and I ordered a carbide blade to try myself. TIA
So you have to take a bit more care in set up of the carbide blades than the steel, but you don't set these so is it quicker?
Curious how much longer the carbide blade lasted versus the steel....did you hit any metal with the carbide? Matthew Cremona cut through his log stop with a carbide blade and he just kept on cutting. Called woodmizer and they are 3-4 months out on carbide blades.
You guys out by Williamsport?
Carbide may last a good bit longer than high speed steel. And, if you can get 3-4 sharpening times out of them, it might be worthwhile.
Thanks Emerald and Grandpa, Saving money is the name of the profit game. TTFN
👍👍👍👍
I like the color of your eyes
Nice Bibs!😍 Consider a full Face Shield Sir.
😎
Em needs to give us an update on the puppy population.
Lots of knowledge up there in grandpa's brain, isn't there ❓️
def how many times a blade I won't to no that to paps
How do you sharpen the diamond stone?
The wheel cannot be sharpened GP
Another great video. Who shot the Mule deer???
50 cal muzzleloader GP
@@JohnWoodis That is cool!! You will have to show us the 50 cal Muzzleloader and shoot a target or two for us sometime!!
👍😎✊
12:04 I would want you to know that I am not a sawmill companion… I am self-employed, selling restaurant equipment (Refurbish is what we do) Buy and sell…. I am for the most part stuck behind a computer doing sales and administration paperwork. I am envious of your father for the fact he gets to work outdoors in the woods. I’ve been watching your videos now for a couple years and you sure have come a long way (Emerald). I enjoy watching you because of your GREAT attitude and work ethic. When you’re not talking and just sawing logs, it’s kind of relaxing to me for some reason. My point being, your channel is more than just sawing, and you probably have many viewers that watch for many different reasons…or am I just weird?... Could be that! Anyway, I enjoy your channel and I have learned a lot about your industry, though I will most likely never put it to use.
Interesting. I thought those blades are set, altenative teeth left and right.
They are. But the face of the tooth is perpendicular to the blade..
Question. Do you wear safety glasses at all times when in the area of operating machinery? Please make it a point to mention this in your videos.
its not a carbide blade anymore
Advance the wheel very slow,, Carbide chips easily
Just found your channel, I fell in love with the entire family. Especially Emerald and Jade and the
German Shepherd puppy. I think you two are HOT!!!
.
Is your grandpa your mom's dad or your dad's dad?
moms
@@woodworkking1099 that's what I thought - thanks for the reply!
Hey Everyone,
Quick question for Grandpa. I notice when you were sharpening that blade. I assumed that it's only one blade you sharpen in this video. If it's two then this will be a stupid question. It's okay, I ask a lot of stupid questions. Anyway, I saw you made two passes (maybe three) adjusting the grinding face each time to get each tooth. As you said to make the next sharpening smoother.
My question is "Do you have to make two passes"? Is taking too much off the first time to get where you need to be making steel barbs or splinters? You said you had a pile of blade to do. I was thinking if you go around and set the wheel to the shortest dull tooth that should be enough to do the whole thing first time right? I ask because I don't know. I've never sharpened a wood mill blade ever. I'm sure there's an explanation with lots of details to the job. Like anything that looks, or seems simple but, in reality is complex.
Anyway, have a great day everyone!
If you started with the shortest tooth, if you could find it, the wheel would hit the other teeth too hard and put too much stress on wheel and blade. Best too ease in and run twice. Hope this explains. GP
Learn how to do this! Then you'll rock almost as much as Grandpa😉
does grampa have to dress the stone every once and awhile
Cannot be dressed or shaped. It's a diamond coating on a steel wheel..
It might be an idea to put the blade in the machine, back the blade away from where it would be to actually make contact with the tool and then run it for a foot or two.
This allows the blade to settle into the position that it will be when running the full length of the blade.
Once the blade has settled down then you set the wheel to kiss the carbide cutting edge as you showed.
Unless you hit something like a railroad spike or something you should not have to clean up the trailing edge of the tooth ever.
And if you NEVER let the grinding wheel touch the steel of the blade you can remove the old carbide teeth when they get to the end of their life and braise new ones in place (difficult to get the right thickness and size and positioning needs a speciaal jig) and sharpen the teeth an the face rake and sides but it is very time consuming I don't think that the sharpener you have could pull it off - probably not worth the effort today but back in the day it was.
"Normal" steel blades simply bounce off some of the African exotic hard woods like ysterhout (iron wood) for example and back then I knew an old timer that made bespoke jewelry boxes for some high class jewelry place up in Johannesburg.
I helped him develop his rather rudimentary but very effective home built sharpener. Totally manual feed...
He did not produce the boxes very quickly but his workmanship was exquisite AND HE CHARGED AN ARM, A LEG AND BOTH FEET but people paid with a smile because each box was really a work of art what with the carving and mother of pearl inlays and highly polished and finely engraved aluminum-bronze dedication plaques which were polished up and looked like gold (and did not tarnish) and whatever.
I’m sure that if one of Elon Musk’s rockets had a problem, Grandpa could fix it!!
If you were sawing bone all the time with a weak blade then that sharpening machine would come in handy .😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈😎💀💀💀💀💀💀💀👽
🤠🛩
wow, that was really great,NOT.
Carbide will outlast high-speed steel 20 to 30 times longer.
Yes, but the blade will break from fatigue way before you can utilize the carbide teeth..
