HI MARK nice oak log sure did make better boards either way logs like that U could some lumber like in a day time all day that's where U make the lumber sawing boards and rail road ties 😊😊 OMG 8 3 2O23
Four o’clock in the morning early start on an urgent job rebuilding bearing mounts so they can work today we’ve only just got the saddles for the bearings ,someone did an eight hour journey to get them eating breakfast machine the base plate and watching you guys who said men can’t multitask, you guys have a nice day
It's great seeing others help out instead of on their phone and standing around like in the past! Kudos to them! Also... lil Donnie earned his pay for the day! HA! Great video guys!
Hi Mark Can’t beat a good steam show we are going to the Shrewsbury steam rally at Onslow park UK at the end of this month there’s always good vintage sawing there my wife and I have being going for years
That is a nice looking oak there, that wood make some nice oak flooring well atleast to me it would roll some clear finish on it man it would look good!
The more I watch lumber videos, the more I love WOOD. What engine & horsepower are you using, and what rpm does the saw spin ? Damn, that's beautiful oak.
Hmmm - with some of those hefty sections you were pulling off, Mark, I bet Eddie and ZZ were *very* glad to have some help today! Beautiful runs of timber, though, and well worth the effort.
As I said last time, you needed to try your ''repairs'' with a log on the bed to see if it worked! Look how it only struggled when you got a good amount of sawn wood down on the bed and after the oil was warmed up - too much friction for the rams to overcome. You haven't got a flow problem you have a pressure problem IMO. You need to install a pressure gauge on the bushiness end, one with the correct fittings so you can move it to different parts of the system for troubleshooting. I'd start at the main pump.
Hi guys; I am sorry that the mill is having problems< But that's what makes it the real thing. Not a video that only show's just the perfect video. You show the real things that happen.
@@markgalicic7788 It's entirely possible your switch may have burned contacts which causes intermittent connection, find a test switch and use it as a bypass to eliminate the control switch.
@@markgalicic7788 no thanks needed, I used to be the log turner on a old circle mill , your channel brings back so many memories. I have been wonder for some time, if you allowed people to come up and see you mill and the crew working. And one more thing I’ve been putting off buying a cherry boom sign. I sent you an email and got no reply, I understand you are busy. My question is are you zz and Eddie still signing them? Before you ship them??
I am always curious about the locations of events you mention, such as "we'll be at the sawmill" (not yours). I am in MA. Where the heck is the event please? I go to PA semi- often. This is while you are talking. I see the attached links.
How does the edger cut a stright line on the edge of the piece of board that is full of knots and uneven edges on the board to be cut into a flat edge !
I was seeing Eddie was using chain saw you provided its okay, but try hand held planer that might be better it does take lot off or little just thought
Sometimes when trying to find a problem in a 'system', try to find a point in the middle and see if the problem shows up there. If it does, the problem is up stream. If it doesn't, the problem is downstream. Then find the next middle point. Etcetera. If you can draw a simplified diagram of the system, that will help. You have the system drawn in your mind, but paper may yield results. Doesn't really matter what kind of system it is.
Exactly the same in electrical troubleshooting, and any other kind of problem solving, start in the centre and work outwards. But start at the source/big- picture first, eg, "is the main breaker on"?. Then trace out from the centre. Divide & conquer.
Given the viewing angle and distance from the operator seat to the scale dial, the fact you can consistently nail 1/4" increments is impressive. So, close enough, is good enough for your mill.
I Run a Mobile Dimensional Sawmill . Quarter saws from top down . Makes the Most out of log . No turning the log . Can handle Any Size log . Look them up .
That mill sure does some fine sawing BUT if you had a bigger blade and COULD cut bigger stuff, you'd be fouled against the blade and riving knife against the parallelogram support and Eddie would quit and go back to pushing barges or finishing concrete, one or the two. Better off being safe where you are. Please tell Buzzworthy he was missed and yall did a fine job. A-PLUS! And yes, the bus motor was liking that a LOT! About the only oil leaks you have are out the air box drains and they're supposed to be there. The old 50's 4-71 at the Scalawag flat belt mill had both drains run into a filter of some kind with a drain. It also had the cold weather start setup on one of the air box covers. Progress. Thanks, Buddy!
I'm sad because we will be in Pennsylvania around the time of the steam show but I think we have to head back to Canada on the 12th. Maybe another time.
@@markgalicic7788 were going to be near Philadelphia Aug 8,9and 10. Our 13 year old special needs daughter loves seasame street and she always wanted to go to seasame place.
I'd like to but im in Newtown SYDNEY NSW Australia and I do like your editorial work on this topic of lumberyard but can't you make it like wherever you get your woods from okay thank you
Mark, would it help the operation if you and Eddie had headphone communications so you guys could be safer by having two-way communications? Blessings to all of you guys.
Dear Mark Galicic. 👍👌👏 Well done again and as always (video and work). 2) Please kindly allow me to ask something: Since the very first video I watched on this channel, I wonder if there is no possibility for having a second log turner on the carriage itself respectively behind it. Not with teeth like Chewy but like one or two common hydraulic cylinders. Just to help to tip over the log sometimes instead of having to turn it so often. Especially with a big log, a contraption like this could be very useful. What do you think about modifying your old sawmill in that kind of way? Less stress for Chewy and especially less stress for the carriage. Thanks in advance for answering. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
these are called cant kickers but I will loose my tapers if I install them , what Frick mill are you talking about modifying ? and also kickers are very hard on the knees as they take the weight of the log while turning it.
Question, do you know about sizing the cant by multiplying the small end diameter of the log by .7? IE: a 20" log produces a 14" cant. ,Obviously there are lots of variables, shape, crooks and whatever but it is a place to start. I am a RUclips certified after watching You and FricknJeep and others. Just wondering how common this tidbit is?
Mark, I've been watching your channel for a while and keep hearing you talk about getting to the "magic number" while sawing a log. Would you kindly explain what that is? Thanks. Boom!!!
His mill can make a 22" cut. So the magic number is when he has a log larger than 22" dia. and he gets it down to 22" by either making it a stop sign, or taking small cuts to bring it under 22"
Have you considered changing the Hydraulic Fluid to fresh new oil ? I know there were issues when the weather was cold outside and you heated the fluid to resolve that. Maybe you have already done that. Just a thought
I noticed your sawmill is a Edmiston, Johnny and Bill live in my neighborhood, they have been in the business since I was a kid and I’m 62. Where is your sawmill located?
I don't know how old the electronic valves are on the carriage, you might want to replace them. You may have power up to them but the solenoids might be worn out. Think of how many times you push that button. 🤔 I would take that main flow control valve off and put separate flow control valves at each accessory then you can control each one separately. Just an idea.
Most buttons I ever saw, has a spring under the button, that can get weak. Thinking out loud. lol. I have also seen before, what I call micro dust, get in and gum up the buttons smooth side surfaces.
'Round here we have "Red Oak" and "White Oak" - you seem to have so many different species or perhaps they are just different names - regardless; thanks for sharing Mark and company, much appreciated. I've seen you mill "Hard Maple" before, around here we have so many different species of "hard maple" and perhaps the hardest is the Sugar Maple - but we always refer to it as Sugar Maple, not hard maple ... the question is; what do you refer to sugar maple as?

Go slow day today what going on mate
The presence of the Princess made the workshop more enjoyable! hahahaha...
Health, Peace, Light and Success for all!
thanks.
We watch you every morning with our coffee. Always looking forward to your next video - you are just a great bunch of folks. THANKS!
Chewy may be hungry and he just might love that scarlet oak, very nice Boom
thanks Christina.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.
good evening Andrew.
Came over from the channel with Manuel Chewy. Good sawing Mr.
That was a big log.... 👍 Always nice to see Pete hanging around! Best wishes to all of you from the other side of the pond. 😊
thanks Johnny.
Another big oak!!!!! Loved the video!!!! Great job everyone!!!!!!
thanks Mike.
HI MARK nice oak log sure did make better boards either way logs like that U could some lumber like in a day time all day that's where U make the lumber sawing boards and rail road ties 😊😊 OMG 8 3 2O23
yes it was a nice log.
That was some fancy sawing Mark. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Jerry.
Love the intro. Love the heart you put into cutting wood
Love from Australia bless you
Magical stuff. Thanks for your hard work
your welcome.
Four o’clock in the morning early start on an urgent job rebuilding bearing mounts so they can work today we’ve only just got the saddles for the bearings ,someone did an eight hour journey to get them eating breakfast machine the base plate and watching you guys who said men can’t multitask, you guys have a nice day
Good evening from Clearfield Utah USA
good evening Brad.
Thank You, nice work.
Another interesting video, Mark. Keep 'em coming, my friend !!
thanks John.
Great job fellas!
It's great seeing others help out instead of on their phone and standing around like in the past! Kudos to them! Also... lil Donnie earned his pay for the day! HA! Great video guys!
thanks , I like your comment very true today.
My uncle used to us a saying, " Close enough for the girls I go with "
I like it!
Great video. Thanks!
thanks !
Good to see you and your helpers. That was a big one.
thanks Alan.
Another big ass log cut down to size! Beautiful ... XO
That scarlet oak is gonna make some pretty bridges, it was really clear except for that big bark inclusion, nice sawing.
thanks Mack , yes it is.
That was about the limit for that mill, that was a nice log!
thanks , yes it was
Hi Mark
Can’t beat a good steam show we are going to the Shrewsbury steam rally at Onslow park UK at the end of this month there’s always good vintage sawing there my wife and I have being going for years
that sounds like fun.
Looks great Marc! Take care and stay safe! Hello to Pete, ZZ, and Eddie! Can’t remember the lairs name, but hello to her as well! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thank you.
thanks, nice job as always
thanks John.
That is a nice looking oak there, that wood make some nice oak flooring well atleast to me it would roll some clear finish on it man it would look good!
yes it would.
Ole Pete showed up at the right time, flex his muscles a little bit 💪😅,nice log mark.lauren even handled some of them boards
yes he did and Lauren was a big help too.
Is it for those large wooden mats loggers put down when the road is super muddy?
The more I watch lumber videos, the more I love WOOD. What engine & horsepower are you using, and what rpm does the saw spin ? Damn, that's beautiful oak.
Detroit diesel aka bus motor. I'd assume 2500 rpm give or take
Great content and entertaining!! Just wondering if you have a kiln and do you take special orders?
Where are you guys located? And doesn't this lumber have to be graded by someone, in order to be used in construction? Love watching your videos.
It was an ugly log but y'all managed to get some good boards out of it. Yield and quality matters. Enjoyed it guys. Have a wonderful weekend coming up
thanks Gary.
@maruiacancerc your response is totally out of line and you will be reported
Stop sign material !
another relaxing 1/2 hour
glad you liked it.
Chewie is my hero!
Hmmm - with some of those hefty sections you were pulling off, Mark, I bet Eddie and ZZ were *very* glad to have some help today! Beautiful runs of timber, though, and well worth the effort.

Hi . More big big logs please.
yes sir.
Happy Friday, on Thursday 😊
Friday eve is Thursday.
@@markgalicic7788 amazing! I’ll never look a Thursday the same again. But I digress. Your videos are enjoyably to watch any day they come out. 👍🏻

I did get it fixed watch this video,ruclips.net/video/wPzow_BcXZo/видео.html
I know you fixed it, Mark, but I could still feel your frustration in this video.
Bill
this was the last log I sawed before I fixed the problem and yes it is very frustrating to saw this way.
Man that bark inclusion and the grain swirl would make some good bowl blanks
yes for sure.
We used the same type of micro switches as your set works where I worked and they will malfunction on an intermittent basis .
they are Honeywell switches very reliable .
Just wondering... Do you control the speed of the log through the blade, or does the mill adjust the speed as needed?
I control it .
Close enough 😊
yes for today.
Great day fellas, hope all is
thank you.
Boom!
Thanks!
thanks Chris!
@@markgalicic7788 It's entirely possible your switch may have burned contacts which causes intermittent connection, find a test switch and use it as a bypass to eliminate the control switch.

yes when sawing thick lumber not much room for error.
Given the viewing angle and distance from the operator seat to the scale dial, the fact you can consistently nail 1/4" increments is impressive. So, close enough, is good enough for your mill.
close enough to me is a 1/32" not 1/4"
I Run a Mobile Dimensional Sawmill . Quarter saws from top down . Makes the Most out of log . No turning the log . Can handle Any Size log . Look them up .
BOOM!
Can we see how the rest of the mill works?
Something that big John would have the railroad jack to help
yes for sure lol.

@@markgalicic7788 You know how I get!
Sounds like an intermittent lack of contact in the button. can you swap it with a less used button to see if that fixes the problem?
no it was a oil flow problem watch this video , ruclips.net/video/wPzow_BcXZo/видео.html
I'm sad because we will be in Pennsylvania around the time of the steam show but I think we have to head back to Canada on the 12th. Maybe another time.

have you tried spraying the switch with contact cleaner ?
not a contact problem watch this video , ruclips.net/video/wPzow_BcXZo/видео.html
"Close enough for cabinetwork."
mmmmmm the ole bus motor sure is humming and sound good
it got a work out today.
Sort of a drag seeing such a beautiful log being chopped up into blocking.
yes but it wasn't northern red oak.
Lauren needs her own sawmill channel lol.
Ugly oak, no way!! That's a beautiful hunk of lumber!!
yes for sure.
Maybe getting some bypass after the oil gets thinner heating up
watch this video , ruclips.net/video/wPzow_BcXZo/видео.html
Does the button go directly to the solenoid or is there a relay in the circuit? I have dealt with relay’s acting like the problem you are having.
You can see the rams trying and the hoses twitch - it's not an electrical issue.
