sawing a stinky black oak log into horse stall boards and some edger cam for your Friday eve video , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgaliciccha...
I did a lot of oak with an 084 on Alaskan sawmill. I can still smell it. lol Recently found your channel and have been steadily working through all the videos. Thanks for all, and looking forward to many more.
So, have you ever worked on Douglas Fir, or Oregon white oak? being a west coaster, I really appreciate your videos, I have family that have done logging, and I work in nature and I like seeing stuff like this start as a raw material and become something new and useful, makes me wonder what will be the next step in its journey.
Thanks for the video Marc, beautiful looking lumber. Would you mind showing a quick pic of your final cut pile in the future? Just nice to see what you’re left with. Cheers from Michigan
Hey Mark and the boys; watching your videos is like therapy for me. The pleasure of opening up a log and seeing what’s inside….it never ceases to amaze me. I do some chainsaw milling but have my eye on an Edmiston Automatic #20087 that I’ve seen for sale. I’m just in the process of setting up my own wood yard right next to my home. You guys are just living the dream; keep making the videos and know that you are making people happy all over the world😊😊
@@markgalicic7788 Oh thanks for that Mark; that means a lot to me. To be quite truthful, watching your videos has been an education in itself. I’ll let you know how this progresses and if I do buy, I’m sure that there will be lots of questions about setting it up. Keep up the good work and best regards to you and the boys from the UK.
😉 “Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars Oak tree you're in my way There's too much coke and too much smoke Look what's going on inside you Ooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooh that smell” 😂
Down here in GA we call that Cat #$%^ Oak because it smell like a litter box that was over full LOL stuff burns good and long when it is dry ...have to slide it in heater when Wife isn't looking have be told I need to go wipe on occasions, poor dog got blamed too! John Toccoa GA
I noticed the hole in that piece and I got to wondering if you ever sawed a stick and an animal came running out of it (like a mouse or some such critter)?
Recently, I did see a video where a Japanese mouse jumped out of a huge log. The wife of the sawyer asked him if there were any more mice in the log.😅. There were no more mice.
@@joeahopelto8032 I was sawing down a big gnarly maple tree and a deer mouse ran out of a hole and up my arm. I dropped the saw and ran like a son of a gun.
I used to say “red oak smells like panther p*$$” until someone asked how did I know what THAT smelled like? Then I realized red oak smells like when you inadvertently mix mortar with sand that cats been in! had to throw away a whole mix; the brick layers would not use it!😂‼️ The Old Retired Laborer
Another good video Mark. I noticed something, and i have been watching a good while now, you are very aware of your surroundings, and you watch out for the guys. There are hazards in any job really, but you have a good common sense base and are always watching out for the safety of others... Hats off to you sir from SE Texas Bear :)
Five o’clock in the morning had breakfast and I’m on takahuchi loading gravel for a friend his operator walked of yesterday , asked him what the pay was like I’ll buy you fish and chips for dinner your generosity ceases to amaze me some days , themselves nice oak boards coming off the mill you guys have nice day
Thank you guys thank you for so much for making these Thursday night Friday video I came home and I live in an area where there's a bunch of cars and apartment with a bunch of cars that surround us someone dented the door on my 1964 Studebaker on purpose and I let's say politely was very upset and you guys just call me completely down and made me come back to my senses thank you guys
_Some_ of the band mill sawyers couldn't give a crap about grade or grain, though some do. Nathan over at Out of the Woods is one who does. Having a fully outfitted LT70 probably helps since you nearly never see him touch a cant hook.
@@markgalicic7788 Yup, he's number two on my sawyer list. I watch 3. I start here, head over to Nathan, then over to Tyler & Brittany. I've become a saw mill, gokart, and action camera junky lol.
I enjoy watching the videos that y'all make. Back in 1991 after graduating from High School, the first real job I had was as a Lumber Stacker for Curt Russell Lumber Company. The mill was a 2 story mill. The head saw was had two blades, upper and lower. There was a bull edger, and a large bandsaw. Lots of the FAS Lumber came from that bandsaw. We cut a lot of 6X6 crib blocks, and header boards for the coal mines. Thank you for bringing back some awesome memories. Watching y'all even brings back the smells.
Mark, Those are some fantastic looking stall boards my friend. Ppl that don't have livestock or horse's don't understand how valuable hardwood of this quality is. The stuff last for a long time, Even with horse's that tend to get board and chew on it. However we've found that mixing up a solution of Tabasco Sauce mixed in with Red Chilly Pepper powder and brush it on the boards. That takes all the enjoyment out of the chewing. We recently turned a old foaling stall into the Goat and Sheep pen. We replaced all the stall walls and had 10/4 x 14' Boards cut to replace the floor boards also. We got 11 yrs out of the last floor boards we put down. And just the center 6 or 7 boards where the worst and worn out. The typical wear out from the top faster than they rot from the bottom up due to them being wet all the time. We found putting 4"-5" of crushed 304 lime stone down. And then putting the boards on top of that, Keeps things from smelling to terrible, and makes the boards last longer. And those board make cleaning a breeze. Run your fork with the boards and you would swear it doesn't make cleaning stalls a hassle at all. And the goats and sheep are pretty clean compared to Horse's and Pony's anyway. Everyone does there business in 1 of the 2 corners. So stripping a stall only has to happen about every 2 weeks. Which definitely save of saw dust.
You said you needed to get your hydraulic oil warmed up. I'm in New Brunswick, Canada, and run a 20yr old Arctic snowplow on my 1990 Toyota Truck. The manufacturer recommended Univis 15, used to be ESSO product but now it's sold under the Mobil brand. In -25°C, my plow angles so fast it shakes the truck! I have tried many other brands over the years and the plow was so sluggish and hard on my battery, I had to take a jump pack with me. It's full synthetic and designed for aircraft use. I have only had to replace 4 valves in 20yrs! It is great in all temperatures, I used my plow lift in summer to rip out root balls without issue. Keep up the good content! Maybe make a video with a little "smoke in a can" (used to test smoke detectors) for all those people who can't see Mr. Lazer! Lol
Are you considering adding Stank-O-Vision to your videos? I like that new edger camera angle from the loader bucket. With everyone wearing their toques, it looks like a gnome convention. I still think you could add a shorter (6-8') flatter angled (30 degree) trap awning, on the edger end of the building, but with no posts. Tubular metal partial frame held up by 45 degree knee bracing off your existing vertical wood posts on each end with a central inverted triangle above, coming down from the ridge peak. String up tarp to your gable sheathing and to the knee brace supported horizontal pole parallel to the building. More shade and protection, no posts, only raised/high loader bucket worries.
Hi Mark, I'm a new subscriber, though I've been watching your videos for a couple of years. I use my brother's Timber Harvester band mill from time to time, and I sawed some black oak for my trailer deck, and also recovered some 4/4 boards, which I used for stair treads. Black oak can be very pretty. It looks similar to red oak, the biggest difference is the medullary rays are much larger in the black oak.
Safety Gnome watching over everyone's fingers. Another fine video even if it is stinky black oak. Any video starring the Edmiston and the bus not bus motor is a good video though. Hey Mark, have you ever shown us where Mr. Laser lives? I'm trying to picture in my mind where it's mounted.
It is always interesting to see the sawiing techniques from a section of the country with lots of trees. Living in San Diego, there are NO INDIGENOUS trees. Teaching high school I tell my students that if you see a tree in San Diego it was planted by someone. They have a hard time comprehending that thought. I like your program for its unique aspect that is common to you.
Good evening guys Time difference…….. I couldn’t tell weather is red or black oak For sure one thing I’ve enjoyed the show Timber looks beautiful Regards to all at the mill Gn buddy Tony from Malta 🇲🇹
Started working at 10… and continued ever since. Opened a family business and did well (not rich). In Jan at 65yo I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now I work to make sure the family has enough. I say… enjoy while you can!
is that "Safety Gnome" under the hydraulic lines on the saw table checking out the blades performance or is he critiquing your use of the sled and dogs ???

thanks Patrick , I would love 6 Saturdays lol.
I did a lot of oak with an 084 on Alaskan sawmill. I can still smell it. lol Recently found your channel and have been steadily working through all the videos. Thanks for all, and looking forward to many more.
thank you , welcome to our channel!
Good evening all
good evening.
Great music during the board trimmer ops !!!!
thank you , I love Benke's music.
Thanks!
thank you Dale!

I wish we had big timber like that here.
I love Benke Heed's music. Very groovy ❤
check Benke out on youtube Benke1000
Greetings from Australia, love your videos. in a future video can you show us how you adjust the edger to suit the boards that you have.
go to Cooks sawmills they made that edger and have some good videos on it
Thanks for the video Marc, beautiful looking lumber. Would you mind showing a quick pic of your final cut pile in the future? Just nice to see what you’re left with. Cheers from Michigan
thanks , we do show what we cut on most of our videos but we didn't film a end shot today sorry.
hi there not to bad , got some good boards , john
thanks John.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
No stink through the video...LOL! BTW, T.H.E. "Eddie Nome" across from the saw...new or have I missed this for a long time? Is really😎😎
that's Sammy the safety gnome.
10-4 👍👍@@markgalicic7788

Black oak tends to twist as it dries. At least the ones that grow around here do. South Central Louisiana.
they dry pretty flat.
Nice log. I would have sworn that was a red oak.
yes it a nice black oak for sure.
Still say it is a red oak. No yellowish inner bark- not a black oak.
Have you seen Wallace farm and sawmill? They are pretty cool 😎 I love you guys ❤❤❤
yes I can't wait to see his Frick mill up and running.
😉 “Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooh that smell” 😂
The smell of death’s around you….
I had to finish the lyric.
good one lol!
Down here in GA we call that Cat #$%^ Oak because it smell like a litter box that was over full LOL stuff burns good and long when it is dry ...have to slide it in heater when Wife isn't looking have be told I need to go wipe on occasions, poor dog got blamed too! John Toccoa GA
yes that's a good name for it lol!
Which smells worse when it’s sawed? Elm or Black Oak? White Elm smells like a barn yard to me.
I think black oak.
Hey Mark your lack of beard has you out of dress code with everyone else! lol
yes many people say that lol.
Is the pithe quality different in oak, poplar and pine? I know pine to pine it can be different.
yes it is , the pith in pine is useable but not in hardwoods.
Dang guys almost up to 75K 😀
almost!
Bouquet !!
thanks.
Hey Mark where can I get one of those Gomes does the guy that made it have a web site?
no he doesn't.
I noticed the hole in that piece and I got to wondering if you ever sawed a stick and an animal came running out of it (like a mouse or some such critter)?
no animals in logs yet.
Recently, I did see a video where a Japanese mouse jumped out of a huge log. The wife of the sawyer asked him if there were any more mice in the log.😅. There were no more mice.
@@joeahopelto8032 I was sawing down a big gnarly maple tree and a deer mouse ran out of a hole and up my arm. I dropped the saw and ran like a son of a gun.
Piss oak. We have tons around here.
yes for sure.
A lot of folks around here call it stinky oak
good name for it.
I used to say “red oak smells like panther p*$$” until someone asked how did I know what THAT smelled like? Then I realized red oak smells like when you inadvertently mix mortar with sand that cats been in! had to throw away a whole mix; the brick layers would not use it!😂‼️ The Old Retired Laborer
good one lol!
Funny, I couldn't smell anything nasty from here. ;-)
good one Mark , lol!
Continuity error. Eddie was wearing a different sweater in the sawing portion of the video then what he was wearing in the intro. No big deal.
you pay attention John LOL!
Its called black oak because it smells bad?..😂
No, it’s a variant of oak that has been named black oak. The smells bad factor is a separate trait. 🤠
If you think black oak smells try piss oak
no thanks lol.
Thanks!
thank you Ed!
Another good video Mark. I noticed something, and i have been watching a good while now, you are very aware of your surroundings, and you watch out for the guys.

thanks Barry , great comment.
Benke Heed is growing on me.
Would be the perfect music on car stereo on long overland drive.
I love Benke's music!
Your videos are good because you are real. When you had eye surgery Im certain a lot of us were concerned.
thank you for the great comment Patrick.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.
good evening Andrew.
Always waiting for the next video, it's relaxing.
glad you like it.
Five o’clock in the morning had breakfast and I’m on takahuchi loading gravel for a friend his operator walked of yesterday , asked him what the pay was like I’ll buy you fish and chips for dinner your generosity ceases to amaze me some days , themselves nice oak boards coming off the mill you guys have nice day
thanks Alex , did he buy some brews with the fish & chips?
When I worked in a sawmill, 1972, we cut a lot of white fir AKA pi*s fir.
As the offbearer, I was first in line for the smell.
I feel Eddies pain.
yes for sure.
robert milton ; HOBBY HARDWOOD ALABAMA saws for grade all the time , very helpful tips too
I have seen them , a great operation.
Thank you guys thank you for so much for making these Thursday night Friday video I came home and I live in an area where there's a bunch of cars and apartment with a bunch of cars that surround us someone dented the door on my 1964 Studebaker on purpose and I let's say politely was very upset and you guys just call me completely down and made me come back to my senses thank you guys
we are glad to help out , that would make me very mad too!
Black oak typically has yellow color under the bark. The stink is usually from bacterial infection in the tree and is just as likely in red oak too.
good info.
I am 69 and I run my band mill alone I turn up the best faces cut tamarack and spruce some big poplar when I can find big enough ones
that's the best way to grade saw for sure.
You had a full crew working on the line today. Guess you had to buy the beers.
yes for sure.
Bring forth the foul-smelling victim. 💀
yes sir Mark.
nice sawing guys ty
Very nice music, guys❤❤❤
thank you.
_Some_ of the band mill sawyers couldn't give a crap about grade or grain, though some do. Nathan over at Out of the Woods is one who does. Having a fully outfitted LT70 probably helps since you nearly never see him touch a cant hook.

Mark you are always picking on me as a band miller . I flip as often as you when grade sawing . Lets just play nice .
you are one of the few that don't just saw down thru the whole log "flitch sawing"
I am in no rush , I love you videos . Great content
You and nutts are my favorite channels @@markgalicic7788

Before all the Elm trees died off there was a sub-species "piss elm" thus named as when you burned - yep you guessed it smelled just like pee

thanks Tony.
Started working at 10… and continued ever since. Opened a family business and did well (not rich). In Jan at 65yo I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now I work to make sure the family has enough. I say… enjoy while you can!
sorry to hear that!
I didn't smell a thing from that log, Mark. Also, I retired 7 years ago and I still wonder how I made it through 45 years of employment.
Bill
yes I am on my 23rd year now and had enough.
is that "Safety Gnome" under the hydraulic lines on the saw table checking out the blades performance or is he critiquing your use of the sled and dogs ???
yes he was.
very nice sawing .Looks like you all have a smoothe tailing set up going. thanks for the "just right" BOOMS!
thanks David.
Yup, retire as soon as you can to get away from a toxic work environment. That was the best thing I ever did for myself.
yes I can't wait to do this full time , things that I love to do.
The shaft that holds the blade does it have roller bearings or needle bearings? Excellent job guys thank you.👍
thanks Dennis , they are roller bearings.
At least you have good cross ventilation to dissipate the odor. Just imagine what it would be like in a closed building.
yes true.
Love the music choice Mark !!
Very excellent video
Thanks for sharing. Sid
thank you.
more education more subscribers. how many oaks are there? anything about oak or other woods helps.
While there are over 100 species of oak N America is home to 6 main ones
Every black oak I've cut seems to be half full of water and the rest full of carpenter ants. Great video tho
this one was pretty solid.
Seems like we called them PEE oaks. Burned good though. Good sawing and God Bless you and yall's weekend!
thanks Lewie , I think it all burns good when dry.
What I had did and I kept it outside till it quit smelling so strong.@@markgalicic7788
i allways wonder, how long are the logs you cut? do you have some standardized lenghts? etc.
this log was 8' 4" but we saw 10 , 12 , 16 ' up to 21'
hello mark & eddies & zz mark it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
thanks Randy , BOOM!
Great video mark
thanks Andrew, also thank you for the shout out!
Horse poopy wood is Black oak, black Locust and Green Walnut!
yes true.
i've noticed when cutting red oak for firewood it smells like dog poop
yes it can.
Shag bark hickory smells like manure when you cut it if it has black stain in the wood.
we have some shag bark hickory to saw this weekend.
I thought the guys on the line would be holding their noses but they weren’t so it couldn’t have been too bad. 💩 ✅❗️
this was a mild one lol
I see that your safetyman is on the job today. Just outside your cab and inside the saw blade.
yes he was.
nothing like swamp oak lol good old skunkie smell when burning better burnng to ya later
for sure.
Yes sir, i think that edger is much better than the old one. ZZ Mark looks like hes got a handel on the edger operation as well!
yes I agree.
It looks like a bee hive with all those worker bees. Good to see you. Stay warm.
thanks Alan , yes for sure.
Excellent I love see senior people doing so good work GOD bless you guys
thank you.
Smelly but great yield, enjoy the edger, thanks as always.
thanks Jack , glad you enjoyed it.
Do you have a video that shows how the board splitter works? Love you videos
yes we do but I will do a new one.
I wondered what ZZ Top was doing these days, nice work guys!
thanks Brad.
I see Sammy Safety is on the job. Hi Guys from Oregon.
Hi ,yes he is.
BTW, did ZZ see the turtle that fricknjeep made in his likeness?
yes he did lol!
Mark, when are you going to beard up like the rest of the crew?
I don't think so lol!
Good evening from Limpopo South Africa. 🕘🏏😭😞
can we see what is going on at the other end i wouid like to see that
we did many videos on both ends of the mill , I will do a new one soon.
I can tell it doesn't take long for the metal stain to get on the oak
it will stain on the carriage.
smells like whaaaat? we call that country air!
good one Jerry , I like it lol!
That’s a beautiful Black Oak log
yes it was.
Seem to be getting a lot of commercials lately ?
that's what RUclips does not me.
big mills its quantity not quality.
for sure.
