Interesting how somebody with no knowledge about YOUR operation is more than willing to spend YOUR time or YOUR money telling you how to do something. You’re a hobby operation, using scrap logs, for fun. And, it’s fun watching you. Thank you for being you.
Hi friends! Good work as always👍. I wish you all a nice Easter and happy egg pecking. But don't take your own, ha ha. Best wishes from Hans and Cheers 🇦🇹🍻.
Hi from Mönchengladbach Germany. The Video is a right Relaxationstarter for the Easter Time. Greetings to Eddie & Marc, too. I love the smell of fresh sawed wood. It makes me calm down after working with stainless steel and drilling concrete.
@@markgalicic7788 A lot of thank you from your answer. Best wishes to your family and friends. The Friday before Easter is an official ceremonial Day in Germany, so all Team members from our company had started with the work at 5.00am and finished at 4.30pm a Repairjob in a Waterwork from a village thats 70 miles away from our workshop.
It's amazing how many experts RUclips has made and all they have to do is sit on their arses , enjoying your videos something therapeutic about watching a log being milled
Hey Mark. You are one of the best head saw operators that I have ever seen and I have seen several over the years. You make excellent decisions that result in optimal yields from your logs. I agree with your practice of removing rotten/punky wood from the log by cutting thicker than normal slabs. By doing that you put deteriorated wood into the fire wood pile where it belongs and you improve the quality of the lumber that you are selling to your customers. It’s a win/win as far as I am concerned. You and Eddie do a great job of keeping the customer first and you both do many many things very well. The proof of that is in the quality of your lumber and the number of repeat customers that you have, That is probably why you always have an abundance of orders to fill! That’s a really good problem to have!
I always like your positive and supportive comments about other peoples sawing videos on RUclips.that’s what it’s all about. Kinda like the real world when you treat people with respect instead of finding fault and tearing down you get karma coming your way as a result. It’s easy to find fault,until you put your own channel out there. It’s entertainment for goodness sake. Have a good weekend everyone. Keep it coming Mark,love what your doing.
Hey guys! Love your channel! Something fascinating about sawmills! I’m from upper Michigan where there used to be lots of sawmills. Even Henry Ford had a mill where parts for model tees & others. It was a little town called Pequaming. There were lots of copper mines (Calumet & Heckla) that needed timber for lots of projects under & above ground. One of the more famous sawmills was in a place called Donken Mi. And of course there is the Horner mill that produces bird’s eye maple for flooring like portable basketball floors. Lots of paper mills as well that reduces pulp into paper. Keep up the good work!
People who say your are being wasteful apparently don't realize all your so called waste is used is other ways like fire wood and animal bedding. Keep up the great work you and Eddy do.
Anybody complaining about waste is uneducated concerning wood quality and the different grades of wood. Who ever said you are not a good sawyer does not know what they are talking about. If they do not like your sawing they can just not watch the channel.
Mark? Anyone who wants to complain? I would tell them to get them an acre or two, their own saw and show us how THEY do it, eh? Keep em coming, sir! Loving it!
Right on guys great movie!! It occurs to me that spruce must be the ultimate sticky wood. I makes me wonder what a mill would look like that sawed primarily spruce. The sap must get all over everything. It can even get on your hands while framing so I can just imagine the sawing equipment.
I would say the 'monkey puzzle' tree (Araucaria araucana) is far worse. Cut the bark and it bleeds profuse amounts of white sap, just like PVA glue. I did a couple of orders for a local woodturner, but never again! The mill was just covered in real sticky sap with sawdust embedded in it.
Personally I like your side gig. You guys get the orders and perform. Your happy the customer is happy and got a good product that’s all that matters. Let naysayers sell punk wood and see how long they get orders. Peace
hi Mark, Eddie serious question when you use the taper on a log is it ever benefical to adjust over half of the taper sense you lose the same amount you gain on the other side
It would be easy enough to imagine work practices that resulted in more boardfeet/hour, but I enjoy how you have the client's requirements in mind at all times as you dialogue with the big wood
Your train of thought got derailed. Happens to me all the time. Nice reverse shot of you working in the cab. Shouldn’t 2x6s be cut at 5 1/2” instead of 5?
Its like a woman having a child does not make her a mother!!!???. I say to the person whom said these things to you Mark, needs a reality check to ones life in knowing love and a nice word. Once a man asked me "what have you done in life?" of which answered am satisfied with the life I have lived and cannot change the past but look forward to doing better in the future with a smile. After this there was no more bad comments.
@@buggsy5 You are real close to the reality. The original lumber was cut at the full size on the inside of the dimension. so it was full cut less the kerf when wet. The lumber was then dried or used as is and dried in situ. When the lumber dried is shrinks. When finished drying its new dimension was similar to current dimensional lumber sizes. Now that I say all that, it is only one of many stated origins of the differences. If you google it you can see many origin stories.
Awesome video :) also I have a question,after each log is cut,the sawdust is used as a biomass or something like this? Greeting from Montreal in Canada :)
There are so many variables there that I don't think an accurate estimate is possible. It depends on the wood species being cut, the diameters of the logs, how much taper/belly/crookedness of the logs as well as the dimensions of the boards being cut.
Eddy was looking a little cold. I am not sure why I like watching this. It is interesting and it is something I wish I had. Do you buy the logs or does the customer have to bring them in??????? You may have already said but I do not always catch things.

Good evening Marc and Eddie, from the great Metropolis of Matlock in Derbyshire, England
good evening James.
Love the pace you guys work at. Y’all never seemed rushed or in a hurry
when you hurry things go wrong very fast.
Mark, you are getting excellent at video production ... a You Tube personality with The Eddie Horvath, of course.
thanks Richard.
No arm rests? OH MAN you work harder than I thought you did. LOL
that's a good one!
The only complaint I have is we don't have smellovision, fresh cut lumber just smells good, Keep smilin
Definitely need the smellovision
Yep I enjoyed the Friday Eve video very much.
thanks Bill.
Forget the negative comments. You are great at your job. Thank you for your time.

It's always more interesting to me when you show the fruits of your labor at the end of the day.
I like to see the stack at the end of the day as well.
Another great job on the mill! Hope you’re Easter has gone well my friend! Hello to Eddie and Buzz! God bless you all!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Thank you again Mark for the video as always. Music is great !
thanks John.

thanks Claude , very true.
Yep. Long gone are the days when off-cuts went to the haystack burner and turned into smoke and ash.
More great sawing, Mark. Happy Easter to all.
Bill
Happy Easter Bill.
Great video Mark and Eddie and Mark. Take care and Happy Easter to you and your families.

Hey Mark. That was a nice spruce there. Would be sweet to have a whole yard full of them huh.
Well done once again and Happy Easter to you and Eddie
Good Evening from Limpopo South Africa.

Hi Mark an crew I've seen you guys cut lot's of timber an you are a great Miller.
Yes 👍
Have a great day everyone 😀
thanks evan.
I have to save these next few vids for my Grandson, he's visiting his other grandparents for a week. He will miss his boom videos.
Great video!
G'day Mark n Eddie, I wonder what type of Mill that person runs 😂Recovery is the secret to running a Mill and you look hungry to me 👍.
Great awesome video mark
Good evening from Trion,Georgia
good evening James.
Happy Easter to you all.
Mark you can't let them damn Karin's bother you man!

Hello from Denmark.
Morten Baun
Hello Morten.
When you cut dimensional lumber like that do you cut to a full 2x4, or 1 1/2 x 3 1/2? Nevermind, I saw it.
Personally I like your side gig. You guys get the orders and perform. Your happy the customer is happy and got a good product that’s all that matters. Let naysayers sell punk wood and see how long they get orders. Peace
thanks William , very true.
I know its a lot to ask Mark, but could we get a few glimpses of your private reserve of select cuts? I'm always curious what you've got stashed away.
hi Mark, Eddie serious question when you use the taper on a log is it ever benefical to adjust over half of the taper sense you lose the same amount you gain on the other side
I try to take half out of each side.
It would be easy enough to imagine work practices that resulted in more boardfeet/hour, but I enjoy how you have the client's requirements in mind at all times as you dialogue with the big wood
Let them complain. I'll second a comment that was made, rotted wood is good for nothing. Maybe firewood. But not good quality for firewood either lol
thanks for the great comment Randel.
Mark, you need a specker system so you can talk to Ed.
yes sir.
Theres No Shortage Of Know It All Advisors lol
Your train of thought got derailed. Happens to me all the time. Nice reverse shot of you working in the cab. Shouldn’t 2x6s be cut at 5 1/2” instead of 5?
I was thinking the same thing.
Lol at cutting master dog off. I’d be more worried about flying metal blade teeth.😁
why can we never see the laser line on the log ?
I see it .
Lovely superb sawing
Its like a woman having a child does not make her a mother!!!???. I say to the person whom said these things to you Mark, needs a reality check to ones life in knowing love and a nice word.

I have found that whenever we start to do anything good someone will poo-poo it. Pay no attention to them.
yes very true David.
Look forward to y'all's videos. Check out a guy called Belko Wood. A video from 6 months ago. He cut the prettiest slabs of Oak that I've ever seen
You said that you were cutting 2X6's why did you cut them at 5" instead of 5.5"?
I was wondering the same thing.....
Why is 2x6 lumber even cut at 5.5"? Why isn't it at least 6" minus the saw kerf?
qqqqqqqqqqqq
special order requested from the customer
@@buggsy5 You are real close to the reality. The original lumber was cut at the full size on the inside of the dimension. so it was full cut less the kerf when wet.

Now that I say all that, it is only one of many stated origins of the differences. If you google it you can see many origin stories.
You could hire me to come to PA & teach you and Eddie some American Sign Language so you would know exactly what you were saying.
Awesome video :) also I have a question,after each log is cut,the sawdust is used as a biomass or something like this? Greeting from Montreal in Canada :)
thanks Justin , we sell the sawdust for stall bedding.
Mark good show as always. At the end I see 12 to 15 logs out by the log deck, about how long does it take you to saw that amount?
There are so many variables there that I don't think an accurate estimate is possible. It depends on the wood species being cut, the diameters of the logs, how much taper/belly/crookedness of the logs as well as the dimensions of the boards being cut.
I also think when you disappeared at the end of that one show you should end them all that way, nobody else dose that.
👍👌👏
Are all if you boom placs signed?
Eddy was looking a little cold. I am not sure why I like watching this. It is interesting and it is something I wish I had. Do you buy the logs or does the customer have to bring them in??????? You may have already said but I do not always catch things.
glad you like to watch Alan , we have logs here but we also do custom sawing for people that bring there own logs.
Don't listen to the armchair quarterbacks. You do great! Btw, what's the 5" all about? hehehe
any one ask for the full 2x4 or 2x6 instead of lumber yard sizes that was a heck of a spruce would love to have some of them
yes we saw what they want.
What do you do with the scrap wood? Can it be used for firewood?
If you take half of the taper you will get the other half from the other side.
yes sir Jim .
Haven't seen the turtle lately
you will Randy.
WHY DON'T YOU AND EDDIE TRADE? IT'D B GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH, & HIS.
good idea but not going to happen Artemus.
@@markgalicic7788 WHY?
HI MARK I wouldn't worry about it buddy people are going to talk I would brush it off there is no use and getting mad OMG 4 14 2O22
yes very true Clarence.
