I remember helping my uncle saw "popple" logs when I was in my teens. It was the funnest hard work I ever did. Cool video. I like the high visibility "traditional" logging attire. HEHE
Good to meet a fellow treehugger or semi-treehugger online. I do like selective logging allot better than the unsightly & damaging clearcut logging. Clearcutting seems greedy and is almost like setting a bomb off, with everything torn out and a big mess left behind. It's bad in parts of BC, forest looks like a checkerboard. So your selective stuff is kind of like beavers taking a tree here and a tree there. You're still actually leaving a forest standing, which shows more respect for the land!
It's a darn good mill and your not wasting very many moves. A pleasure to watch 'er workin'. By the way I for one enjoy the music, my wife is East European and I'm familiar with something similar.
That looks like a very pretty area to work in! Poplars are so beautiful especially when they're leafed out. I'm a treehugger myself so I could never do that work. But it's good that somebody is willing to do it, I guess. Is all that sawdust getting blown out far enough away so that nobody is breathing that stuff in? Or is the pipe blower movable so that its direction can be changed when the wind direction shifts?
Ya it is a beautiful place. My backyard is 100's of kms of Aspen Forest, with hundreds of small lakes. I am also a treehugger to some extent. These logs were cut off of our land in a selective manner. I personally prefer to see them standing. The sawdust does get blown away far enough from workers. However it is hard to avoid getting it in the eyes and breathing the fine particles in sometimes. The pipeblower is moveable. And we move the sawdust pile every time it gets too big.
I hear you. It's sick. Fortunately more and more people are waking up and the collective consciousness of humanity is evolving into a more loving, eco-harmonious phase. So I think clear-cutting will be outlawed soon as a destructive, greedy & degrading practice and replaced with the better selective logging methods like yours.

Thats great feedback, glad someone can tolerate that music lol.
Dad had a portable sawmill with a sawdust blower. It may have been a bit noisier than a mill without a blower, but I sure liked the sound.

there nice job john
What gets built out of a wood like poplar that rots so very quickly?
Mike Lamothe furniture lots of things!
Nice and neat
Were those logs Populus tremuloides or Populus grandidentata?
Yes
Sawing wood is so satisfying.
Totally
Chadrick Penner I had a old bellsaw in northern Minnesota, yes it is enjoyable!
Ya it is amazing what a mill can do. I imagine it is an awesome show watching them maples go through.
Nice tractor Larry
Pretty slick...
No protective gear chain sawing! How dangerous.
Yes you are right. At that time and place it was normal. The standards have certainly changed.
I like The Sawmill and how it operates that music though I want to go find a train and jump in front of.
Lol i just used it because it was long enough. Sorry it had that effect! Maybe time for a new version, whats a good saw-mill song?
cool vid
