Hey Mark, i just found your channel. Love your mill set up. I’ve sawed with a S&W 30hp electric over hydraulic band mill for 20+ yrs. in ne ala. I’ve cut mostly SYP but also every hard wood species that grows in this neck of the woods. I’ve recently re-plumbed all the hydraulic lines and rebuilt several cylinders on the mill. It saws as good or better than when I got it 20+ years ago. I love the laser and have often thought I’d like to adapt one to the band mill head. PS “Little slivers” wedging and sticking saw blades in wild grain/knots I thought were only a problem on band mills! LOL
Getting real tech here. Like it! Think about using window tint to help with the glare inside the control station. It does make a difference. Wireless mic is working great. Another high tech upgrade.
mark you and Eddie are going to take all the fun out of sawing..... no more big slabs.... really nice sawmill.... you two really got things running great.... good luck sawing
Fine sawing and I was wondering how I missed this but I'm caught up now I hope. Bus Motor sounds GREAT and it's got to be really close to start like that. And please don't kill T.H.E. It'd probably make him mad. Sound is WONDERFUL and Thanks, Mark! A-PLUS!
Eddie that is one firn looking truck bed. Now coater in Diesel fuel and used oil. Yep, waterproof Tr. Need some mudflaps too. Eddie Beds thats great Company name.
Hi Mark , another great video from you both , didnt THE do a lovely job on his truck , getting shot of the junk body & making that last for ever one out of oak , cant beat it , just what they used to do in New Zealand , chuck the buck of the brand new trucks & put a purpose build one all galvanized so last for ever , big hello to you & THE eddie .........
I like the truck bed, and love the saw marks on that lumber, never ran a laser on a Band Saw Mill, but we are pretty good about not wasting wood, don't mine taken an extra cut and edging the board even if is smaller than the ones we are cutting, we get a lot of calls for board and batten, 6 and 8 wide with 2 to 4" battens, wood is money and hate to waste either one. I could not see the Laser in the Vid, but once you move it, like you did should be great, Thanks again to Louie for the Flag, see you-al later.
Mark, I like to see a spec sheet for that old bus motor along with a picture of the bus it used to push around. Just hang it next to the engine will be cool to see.
Once again fantastic video i'm learning so much about the lumber sawing your both top fellas,those belts need tightening there flapping about like your flags in the breeze (Respect to both flags).Looks like Rd has lumber elbow (Cup of coffee in his hand),could yo not attach the laser to the cab somehow to get the lazer under the pantograph arm.
The theory behind pausing between cranks on the engine is to allow the heat from compression to soak into the cylinders instead of blowing it out with fresh cold air. It does seem to help with cold starts when you don't have starting fluid. Have a good one.
Mark, always park your carriage headblock over the mandrel nut ! My Dad showed me this after a head saw came up missing ! It makes it a little harder to come up missing !
In one of your older videos , I think you made the comment that you can not see the " back side " od the log . Opposite the saw blade side of the log . I was thinking , you might be able to adapt and install a 12 VDC " back up camera " and monitor . I do not think they are all that expensive ? Enjoyed the video with the lazer . :-) Thanks . Wyr God bless
well mark i never did see the light because of the glare or I just didn't know where to look.what is that vibration rattling sound?seems the glare is back at the other side of your cab also.
Nice operation. If only I had partial capabilities to cut lumber, seeing so much wood going to waste when people cut down trees and it goes to the landfill... Pine is one sad thing, but the hard woods is entirely a different issue with waste in the landfill.
Hi there looking good as always how much was the lite? .Hay eddy my newer truck is a 97 .My beater might be worth $10 if you put a $100 bill on the dash .Need a video on your can cruncher . I know i spend to much tone on this confuser . I was looking for truck parts when i saw your show pop up . later john
When you crank in cold weather and the engine doesn't start it still compressing the air it sucks in. Compressing the air raises the temperature of each cylinder so when after 20 seconds or cranking you stop cranking for no more than 2 seconds then start cranking again and it will start but will run rough until it warms up then smooths out. Major advantage of a Diesel engine. I used to own a VW Rabbit Diesel I bought used with two burned out glow plugs, even at 35 below zero it would crank a bit longer but always started. Though I have to admit if I could park on a hill in cold weather select second gear step on the clutch and once you got to 15-20 mph crank the engine and pop the clutch and while it was rough running it would start easily.
so how do you tell if the blade is going to make you a 4/4/,6/4,8/4? I don't see any kind of gauges that show that. or does the saw automatically ratchet or X/4 each pass?
Mark, the microphone sounds good to me, but I dont know if you can hear some sort of rattling. Like maybe the guard over the belts is vibrating? I could be wrong, but I'm definatly hearing something, other than that, another great production of your videos.
Regarding the guy that does the refurbishments on your saw blades: I assume that he can sharpen, straighten and balance used blades. Can he also attach carbide teeth to steel blades, or is that something that had to be done at the time of original manufacture?
Buy a cheap rotary table for milling machines and mount the laser on that. It will allow you to make minute changes in the angle and aligning to the cut line should be easy. There is already a lateral adjustment on the laser mount, so that shouldn't be an issue.
look like you need to put an exhaust clamp on the engine side of the muffler. It could could cause a fresh air problem for the workers when you start to enclose the sorting area later on. Wouldn't want THE (Eddie) Horveth to pass out from CO2
Didn't see the line from the inside either....any main reason you chose green instead of red of yellow? I think red would show better...just my thoughts...Really like the shot of the flags there at the end of your video....still just gets me in the heart.....enjoyed this!! Bill
Thank you for the shout out! I will bring out my work boots and wear my overhauls. I think THE Eddie Horvath has something with the aftermarket wood truck bed! You can sell them for $1,495! Maybe even more if Eddie signed each one of them. How wonderful on the growth of the channel! After I get my podcasting/video room together, I will be out. At least Lumberline sent you an instruction manual. The RODEcaster from the same microphone company, included NO manual and told us to watch the videos on CZcams! Frustrating!
@@markgalicic7788 You Guys make a great TEAM , Wish You Guys were here in Iowa near me . I would come and visit and even bring the donuts :-) . If You Guys see an older fat guy in his 60's hobbling Your way with a U.S. Air Force veteran hat on walking with a cane and donuts You better put out the "NOBODY'S HOME" sign :-) . Love Your sawmill . My grandfather George (1877 -1975) and my dad George (1916 - 1996) has a sawmill out at the farm . Probably stopped running it in the 1950s . It is still there , just the old metal but is has sunk into the ground and I think the blades are all gone and at peoples homes with paintings painted on the blades .
Mark, are you clowning us? We cant see that line at all at that height. It isnt April Fool's Day just yet. I'm sure you can see it, but we dont...... hahahahahaha
Looks like the laser will be a great help, especially once that you have it lowered a few feet. The wireless mic is working pretty well. The audio is clear, but a little distorted by over-driving somewhere in the audio chain. Maybe the receiver has some sort of output level control that you could try turning down a little? It sounds like maybe the receiver output is a little too hot for the camera input.
hi there mark if you have s little spare time go to Maryland Hardwood Concepts . Luke took the new splitter out for a test run . he beat me to the video but i will get another when the weather brakes john
Great fix and simple. Im concerned that in 20 years the next generation will have no fix for anything if they can';t find it on line. By the way I plan on making your swing and am in the process of making drawings for it in solid works 3D. I will send you a copy of drawings when complete.
I guess I am going to have to slack of on the vodka, bourbon, scotch and mad dog 20/20 as I can't see no line on the stuff your cutting but then I ain't sawing... course I quit drinking back in the nineties cause a couple a plumb scared to death Rotienwillers that were just barely puppies that didn't have enough hide to keep one warm so I put them on my bunk and spoon fed them till they had strength enough to feed themselves. They were just pitiful so i seen one crawling to some cardboard so i moved it up for him and he messed on it then it looked like he was worried he might a went in wrong spot but I praised him and he showed the other one which she got on and went. then I give them a light cloth towel bath with plenty of drying off. This went on for almost the third day as their little legs were so weak. I stayed with them and kept water in front of them an I was getting sleepy. I nodded off and when I woke up they had crawled up on my pants leg together and they were sound asleep so I made me a vow to never leave them alone again. Later I found out who the guy was that dumped them and the pups recognised them and were standing stiff legged just waiting for me to to say ok but I put them in my truck and confronted them/him. His wife and kids were with him so I asked him why he got rid of them and he kinda laughed it off saying he always got rid of runts and then he made a mistake with me. he said they make good coyote bait. I lost it and I am sorry I did but I just laid that dick head out cold as a steel wedge. His wife calling me names and his kids looked at me like a monster so I whistled and my dogs came running up and stood by me and my big boy just lifted his leg and pissed on him! Lady was fidgeting and I asked that lady who was with the guy on the floor; they look like runts and she screams you stole our dogs! Owner of the store had called the cops. Cops get there and the store owner says this prick laying on my floor buys sweepings and cheapest food I have. This man here asked this lady politely and she starts screaming at him. By the way these dogs are well mannered and have been here before and he told Tramp to go get his dog food so he barked and Lady followed him and they come dragging the right food okay. Then the cop interviended. He yelled harshly at the boys to jerk their britches down and to show their backsides! He hollers quick or I will put you in jail with Bubba. So they did shyly and yep there were marks on them so the cop snapped pictures of them. Then told them to pull their clothes up and called for back up on transport. Kids went to a home, Lady and Tramp got picture in paper, the parents lost all their animals and were placed in jail on a multitude of charges.... me, I got free dog food as long as one of the dogs was with me like they ever were not?!!
Instead of burning all your scrap wood why not sell it? Most pickups are 1/2 ton and simply state need firewood? You load your pickup $20. Bet your yard will be considerably cleaner by sundown.
Manufacturer here, fantastic to see one of our units setup and in action.
Fun to see how much you guys have progressed in 3 years!

glad you like Mr Nate.
Thank you for the video.I appreciate the commentary while your sawing. Me, I can't talk while I walk,let alone work a carriage back and forth.
thanks Michelle , I still have a hard time talking while I saw . just one slip up and BIG problem .
Love the truck bed! I had one of those myself.
that is a T.H.E. model Dave.

Good job Eddie doing it right the first time saves it in the end.
You should consider a solar system for the Lazer and also a engine heater.
we do have some solar just got to get it working.

Mark, I like to see a spec sheet for that old bus motor along with a picture of the bus it used to push around. Just hang it next to the engine will be cool to see.
the old bus motor was a power unit from the factory but also used in the old greyhound buses.

Would you consider doing a video on maintaining the saw blade, re-sharpening etc
hi Chris , in our sawmill shed part 6 video I show how to sharpen the blade . I will do more blade maintenance videos too.
Hi there looking good as always how much was the lite? .Hay eddy my newer truck is a 97 .My beater might be worth $10 if you put a $100 bill on the dash .Need a video on your can cruncher . I know i spend to much tone on this confuser . I was looking for truck parts when i saw your show pop up . later john

Though I have to admit if I could park on a hill in cold weather select second gear step on the clutch and once you got to 15-20 mph crank the engine and pop the clutch and while it was rough running it would start easily.
we had old farm tractors we drift started.
Hello Mark & Eddie , So does the rain cap do the flapping at idle ? looks like really getting things together you guys take care see ya next time
no the rain cap just sits up and don't make any clanging sounds.
Sound is good
so how do you tell if the blade is going to make you a 4/4/,6/4,8/4? I don't see any kind of gauges that show that. or does the saw automatically ratchet or X/4 each pass?
I have 5 preset board thickness set all I do is pres a button.
You should think about an oil additive by Lucas for the engine for the cold weather.
Since you have power on sight, would block heaters make life easier? Excuse the lack of cold weather experience.
we still dont have power yet but hope to soon.
just suggestions.i'm not stopping watching your videos though.
Mark, the microphone sounds good to me, but I dont know if you can hear some sort of rattling. Like maybe the guard over the belts is vibrating? I could be wrong, but I'm definatly hearing something, other than that, another great production of your videos.
yes there is some noise from my tool box in the cab.
I was always cerious what do you do with the sawdust. By the way great video 👍
thanks ,we sell the sawdust to the horse farms.
Regarding the guy that does the refurbishments on your saw blades: I assume that he can sharpen, straighten and balance used blades. Can he also attach carbide teeth to steel blades, or is that something that had to be done at the time of original manufacture?
he just hammers tension into the blade ,I sharpen & change the teeth myself .

How’s the bandsaw mill going?
still setting it up under the new roof Santa.
Do you have glow plugs on that motor?
no sir.
Is that a model L-30-lv laser? Try powering it with the highest voltage 24 v ac transformer. The red laser model might be brighter.
The eye is 9x more sensitive to green vs red.

I never did see the green line. I'm sure you can see it though. Maybe a red laser would be better for the camera. Thanks, Mark.
