      @@johnking8679 Yes, a pile of sawdust is like a pile of compost. It gradually breaks down and builds up heat. It can catch fire, But I don't think is a too big of worry.

    Hi Mark and Eddie, I’ve been watching Helmsburg Sawmill lately as well as yourselves. What a difference! He runs 4 saws in unison and churns out boards in one run of the carriage. It all seems a bit hectic but I admit I prefer your laid back approach. He uses RED lasers which are easier to see than your green one. Keep on sawing. Biker John from UK.

    Hi 👋 from California 😂😅! Walnut can’t be used for animals. The roots of Black Walnut (Juglans nigra L.) and Butternut (Juglans cinerea L.) produce a substance known as juglone (5-hydroxy- alphanapthaquinone). Juglans is dangerous to Horses, dogs, and can kill off veggies of all kinds.

Bedding containing as little as 20 percent fresh black walnut shavings made from old or new wood can cause toxicity. Within a few hours of toxicity, the following signs occur. Depression. Stocking up. Warm hooves. Acute laminitis (founder), Stiff gait. Reluctance to move

    That was a SOLID log and had some real grain to it. Nay, the Bus Motor cared not for it and made hash thereof. Lot of good boards for a Stop sight deal. Thanks, Mark and crew! Happy week and I don't think the eclipse will kill you graveyard dead! God Bless Yall!

    Hey Mark. Great sawing video! That “ugly” black oak log did not turn out to be so ugly after all! That log was quite a surprise and yielded some absolutely beautiful oak lumber. You mentioned that a good share of the black oak boards will be used for horse stall material but will you sort any of the grade boards out of that bundle of black oak? I hope you set aside some of those clear wide boards and but them on stickers.Thanks very much for another visit to the sawdust bin and the loading of the dumpster box.
