Mark and Eddie, y’all bring pure joy to this channel. It’s wholesome, admirable, and so entertaining. My grandfather worked in a mill and lost his arm. I don’t know how that happened (he’s long since passed) but maybe it’s why I’m so drawn to this channel. Thank y’all so much for sharing with us. This sure beats the hell out of the garbage on TV.
that was a big badass log but i had complete confidence in the good ole boys from imperial,pa.love the sound of the bus engine when it has a load on it.
Hey Mark great job! Just a heads up on those big logs when you ease them on remember to slowly let your head blocks back at the same time the logs about to make contact. You wont break anything that way lol from one Edmiston guy to another 👍 with ours still running today since 89 we've made a few mistakes here and there for sure lol
That bus motor just does NOT care what hits the skids. Good sawing Mark and that was a NICE oak. That'll make some fine stuff. And sure am glad Eddie had help. That lumber is HEAVY! I went ahead and subscribed to John so we'll talk about you! I've watched some of his a long time ago. I guess I just needed you to get me ready! GBWYall!
I love watching those big logs beeing sawd, while having a break sawing firewood with my chainsaw with 14 inch sword! lucky me the logs i got in my last load of waste oak from a lumber company in southern norway that isnt so thick that my sword dont reach thru. 🤣 that company is mostly after spruce and pine.. and oak and birch is considerd waste.. but they sell it cind of cheap as firwood so you pay mostly for the freight.
@@markgalicic7788 most bigger sawmills in norway-sweeden-finland are fully automated and want only straight logs if that makes sence but there are some smaller sawmills like yours localy that do custom sawmill jobs and make lumber out of any logs, even fruit trees if say a furniture carpenter wants it 😊 i used to get free scrapwood from a tiny local sawmill 10-15 years ago, but then he bought a woodchipper and an oven that heats the mill and hes house so now he burns it all himself..
I love it! Keep bangin out videos! It wouldn't be hard to start project top saw. Start piece by piece as you have some extra cash. In a short while you have enough steel for the frame, build it up and over. Mount shaft and bearings and run the pulleys down to come off the main shaft.
G'day Mark n Ed, that was a nice Pin Oak the legs on our dinning room table are made from it, seems a shame to use it for low boy decking they used to use bluegum down here I'm told it was good for two or three years 👍🇦🇺.
Wow that log was a monster. I have “The Norwood Sawmill” app on my phone, I think you said the log was 13 feet long and I guessed the log was 30 inches Oak. Well the Norwood app says that log was about 3400 pounds and had about 450 board foot in it. Mark,Eddie keep the videos coming.
I really like that dark streak in the grain. My neighbor has some special cut lumber that they used two facing matched panels to create each of the six panels for one wall of their den. Each of the six panels was trimmed with 1 X 6 or maybe 8s from the same tree. There was a lot of router work on the trim pieces and some carved trim on the inside of the larger trim pieces. I remember watching the finish carpenters and the owner deciding where to place each pair of panels. Some of them had dark streaks similar to this log. They did stain all the parts with the trim being a little darker. It was kinda like a picture frame around each pair of panels. When they finished it, it was a beautiful work of art.
Enjoyed that one. We have upper 90's in temps, here in the middle. Your weekend sawing might be a bit warm. Dogs, master dog, and the "big dog" bus motor. Sounds more like a kennel.
Mark that Pin Oak log was a monster Once you started the mill you’ve kept Eddie busy Master dog comes very handy with such a diameter of log Enjoyed the documentary Guys I wish you all a great weekend Tony from sunny 😎 Malta 🇲🇹
Best mill channel! Captions would enable hearing impaired people to catch what you’re your saying while in the operator’s seat, probably important!? I think so!
This was quite a log to show for the Friday Eve video. I wonder if would have saved any aggravation in milling this log, if the wide bandsaw mill was used to make the initial slabbing cuts to make the square cant?
holy master dog! That thing is a beast but it looks like gorgeous wood inside! Am I imagining things or did that blade get noticeably duller during this big cut?
One of the things the sawyers we trained to do was to calculate thickness and kerf on the fly … meaning, know what you are cutting in advance and calculate accordingly. This prevents making skim boards or producing unnecessary waste. The kerf is a know factor (usually 3/16” or as much as a 1/4), so doing the math in your head is not difficult.
You certainly make an entertaining video. I've watched you saw 2 large logs. Never imagined I would spend an hour watching someone else saw 2 logs but I did. Your saw diameter obviously handicaps your capacity but if you tried "grade sawing", creating the desired size cant, your yield would increase dramatically. A lot of wasted cuts and wasted wood. Your "whittling" pushes waste cuts deeper into the log. Just trying to help out a fellow sawyer.
You should have a red second laser illuminating from the side that shows maximum cutting hight. Then you just need to keep the green laser below the red and you'll cut through.
16:30 In a real sense, your task in cutting the targeted lumber out of logs is analogous to that of a sculptor, albeit with fewer degrees of freedom and a less flexible tool.

Great log and Excellent sawing. Pleased Eddie had some help with those heavy Boards.
thanks Andrew , he was glad to have help.
Boy I flinched when that big log was headed full steam towards the carriage! Masterful handling saved the dogs from certain destruction. :-) lol
It's blamed interesting trying to get a log AND a carriage back out of a hole and back on track after a large one took it over!
yes she was a big one for this old mill Doug.
that was a big badass log but i had complete confidence in the good ole boys from imperial,pa.love the sound of the bus engine when it has a load on it.
yes it was Danny!
I like how you guys take your time to saw down a log, really good content guys👍 im a Sawyer myself and i love every minute of Sawing
I love the sounds of an operating mill. 😊.
WOW, that was a huge log definitely bogged the ole bus motor! Awesome Friday Eve video. ✌🏻🇺🇸
thanks Carl.
Lovely superb Nice sawing and the timber fiber is very good.

I knew a guy who worked at the sawmill that could carry 2 railroads ties at time this man was a real horse my uncle 11 14 2021
Mesmerising! First time watching from UK! Great stuff.
yes a real nice piece of a big log with a nice flame in the wood , i love it !!!

I can see the new sign on the booth. “Don’t interrupt sawyer while filming”. Lol
I like that!

hope you liked it Patrick.
Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 17 Jun 21.
good afternoon Bill.
Nice log, great job cutting as all ways, you saved a lot of wood out of that log. Your plan sir worked well.
thanks Harry.
big ol log, had some Purdy grain in it. great video.
thanks Kenn.
Thank you for the video.
thanks for watching.
Absolutely beautiful colour on that log, just stick some in an envelope & post it to us here in Australia LOL
yes it did.
That’s some great sawing, Mark! Definitely a time Eddie needed some help. Those boards would have been quite heavy to do alone! Have a great weekend.
thanks Phyllis.
Good job Mark like to see the big logs cut a lot of good boards
glad you liked it Edward.
Beautiful lumber!
thanks Shane

What will this lumber be used for. Beautiful wood.
Best mill channel! Captions would enable hearing impaired people to catch what you’re your saying while in the operator’s seat, probably important!? I think so!
You tube adds the CC after about a day or so. Mark doesn’t do that.
I don't know how to do that.
Great video Mark
thanks Tommy.
Time for a lock on the saw cab door! Lol
good idea!
This was quite a log to show for the Friday Eve video. I wonder if would have saved any aggravation in milling this log, if the wide bandsaw mill was used to make the initial slabbing cuts to make the square cant?
thanks , this would have been hard to load after squaring it on a bandmill.
all the old sawmills didn't have a auto log turner you had to do it by hand w a cant hook old school I remember this very well years ago 11 14 2021
That was a nice log to cut up!
thanks Cris.
Just the ticket for a dull day here in the UK. Thanks very much guys.
thanks for watching Michael.
That was really some pretty wood. Started laughing when you said that. It’s what I was thinking exactly.
yes it was for pin oak.
nice video thanks for sharing
thanks for watching.
MASTER DOG Put In Overtime Today :-)
That Master Dog earned its keep today.

holy master dog! That thing is a beast but it looks like gorgeous wood inside! Am I imagining things or did that blade get noticeably duller during this big cut?
no I just sawed slow so we did not stick the saw.
Nice video as always Mark💪💪 how heavy are a log like that?
Man it must smell so good in there 👍👍
"Fridee" is not a word.
Nice job! I always find it hard to turn the log to where I want it when the notch cut is so big it distorts the view, you nailed it on each turn. 👍
thanks William.
👍👍nice

I'm... lazy. Instead of counting sheep or sawing wood, I come here. Guaranteed snooze.
NICE LOOKING WOOD
thanks Joe.
You should have a red second laser illuminating from the side that shows maximum cutting hight. Then you just need to keep the green laser below the red and you'll cut through.
Nice!
thanks.
that wood looks so lovely in the grain....
yes for pin oak.
Thanks both another great video when are you getting Pastor Michael to bless the mill with a plaque
thanks John , we hope to soon.

Your flags are beautiful ❤️
And how much would a 60 inch cost generally
That video surely has to be worth another 100,000 subscribers. absolutely brilliant
thanks , glad you liked it!
Is that a true pin oak or a water oak? Lot of folks around here call water oaks pin oaks.
Pretty timber, I looked it up and was surprised at how little regarded it is as a timber species.
Pin oak will twist and bow when you try to dry it.
yes it's a low grade wood.
Where did a log like that come from and why. Just curious,
this log came from a tree removal job "yard tree"
Good night friend
good night.
Is there a different mic location. Or maybe different Hydrolic sounds
no the same as I use every time.
😊
I have a queston for you , Why do they make the knotch on the down cut . this is a waste of length on the tree .
There is no need to fear! Master Dog is here! Your intru…I mean, visitor just wasn’t gettin’ it, was he?
yes a visitor that did not know I was filming a video.
What is a 4 quarter cut
Holy timber batman.
yes sir.
Weird looking grain on the outside of that monster log. Like that t-shirt Eddie was wearing. Is that where he works?
we should sell them.
You guys should have your own t-shirts made up and sell them.
Never seen that much sap wood in a red oak before.

North central Iowa here
hello Iowa!
that bus motor was really talking on that oak
yes it was Richard.
Has to be tough to make sawing decisions with someone talking to you in the cab. Am sure they do not understand ...
yes he snuck in the cab with me and started talking , but all is good!
Can you please show how much sawdust is blowing into the bin during a big log
we will try to Mark.
That was a big log eh!
yes sir.
How much curcular sawmill system
For its size, the annual rings suggested a rather 'young' tree.
yes pin oak grows very fast here.
