Just love how the forward/return is done with belts and a lever. Had to take a good look and it couldn't be simpler, it's perfection!!! Two belts, one drive. Pull one way to pick up slack on one, make slack on the other. Beautiful! :)
Hi guys. Good video. I would love to see a video on your mill. I assume it is a Frick. How old is it, and did you buy it new or second hand? Are spare parts available? Do you keep some in stock? Do you have to make any spare parts? Also some info on the log loader and turner would be interesting. Do you plan on installing them? Are you considering a new edger sitting downstream from the mill-- self powered and not run off a PTO? I assume you are running a Detroit Diesel Bus Motor. What is the HP, and how much does fuel cost? Does the price of diesel have much effect on your selling prices for lumber? Finally, what about a Pole Barn to get out of the weather? Nathan Elliott (Out of the Woods) just had one built and it is nice.
It’s a meadows mill,second hand,yes spare parts are available,yes we keep some in stock,no we don’t make any spare parts,we do plan on installing the log turner, we are considering a new edger,the price of diesel does effect,we do plan on a pole barn. Thanks for watching
After you got the log squared up, there were some delicious boards that came off. Even the boards with checking could be salvaged as shorter boards and partly ripped down. There is alot of pretty wood in that monster log.
Yes it did have some nice boards in it. We edged out a lot of that split where it was shaky. We can handle a 34-36 inch log if it is round. That log was really oval shaped and gave us a fit. Thank you for watching and commenting.
A two parter like this one is no problem, Andruw. It was good to see you guys get the upper hand on it. Here in Ohio white oak is one of the most expensive woods to buy. Bill
That was a massive challenge of a log on your mill, but it really did produce some lovely white oak boards. Hopefully you will earn some good $dollar from it 😉
Hey Mark, we don't mind stop signs but, that one was a little excessive. We needed chewy. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope to see you all soon.
G’day fella’s 👍 you guys need a beer 🍺 after that log ! I’d rather watch your channel than any of the others you guys are hardcore you don’t mind a bit of hard work! And the other thing I like it the father and son team ! Cheers guys can’t wait until the next one 👍🇦🇺🍻
We figured if our blade wouldn't make a can't, the big logs were not worth sawing. We had no goodbye of handling the great big logs. Our limit was about 30".
I appreciate your concern but actually, I was holding the carriage in neutral with that belt feed. Sometimes the carriage will creep so we were trying to be safe. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Back in the eighties, we never sawed a log so big we had to make two videos out of sawing one log of course videos had not been invented. There were no cell phones to watch the videos on. We stuck to logs we could saw more easily.
After all that working of barrel sawing that monster white oak, it's a crying shame there were so many cracked boards in that log. There is probably as much time in edging the remaining boards as there was sawing the whole log.
Pickering, Ontario, Canada. Why is the cant turned so often? I know it serves some purpose, but to me as an amateur it seems like a lot of work for nothing.
We turn the cant to try to get the best grade lumber. It is called grade sawing. We try to box the heart into the last piece since it is the lowest grade. We had to turn that log a little extra trying to get it to where the saw would reach through it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes it’s very unique. Thanks for watching
Lots of hard work but good job on getting it done .saw running good and Detroit is strong ☺️
Good job boys 👍👍
"I don't know where the rest of it's at, but I'm glad it aint here" So true. Great video, thank you
Thanks for watching
That big log yielded some nice wide boards.
I hope they were worth the extra work.
Nice overcast summer day for milling.

Got some nice cuts out of that log👍
Yes, it made some nice lumber. Thanks for watching.
You guys put a ton of work into that log to get it to a managable size! Love your videos! You two really work as a team.
Thank you. We can reach 23 and a half inches, and I thought we would never get it down to that size. Thanks for watching
That's a good feeling when you see them bits reaching through the top of that big log. Nice video
Yea, I thought we would never see the saw come through the top. Thanks for watching, Shannon.

Good to see you hang on, well done.
Yea, we finally got it. Thanks for watching.

Bill
Yes it is the most expensive wood in North Carolina right now also. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, John. We needed that big mill of yours with the top saw.
@@AndruwsLumber hi there i just need time to work on mine , thanks for stopping in john

Yes, it was a challenge, but the man who brought it was a good customer and friend. Thanks for watching.
Do you have a lumber grader? Do you want one?
That one was a beast but you fellas got it whooped and made some pretty lumber too.
Yes, it was a beast. It was really oval shaped and that just killed us. Thanks for watching.
Shame there was that big crack. Still some nice boards there. Tough one.
great job guys , I love stop signs!

BAMMMMM another job well done. Great going guys
Yes, that log was heavy. Thanks for watching.

Yea, we needed a case after that one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………………………………….that was a struggle, but some nice looking wide boards in the end.
Yes ,we got some nice lumber out of it, but it was a job. Thanks for watching.
It is still a beautiful piece of wood!
It turned out pretty nice. Thanks for watching.
love the way you work with your dad
Thanks for the comment and watching.
Don't worry about 2 parters, give us what you can- thx for posting!
Thanks for watching.
great job
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome job guys. Not a whole lot of talking. Just sawing.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
We figured if our blade wouldn't make a can't, the big logs were not worth sawing. We had no goodbye of handling the great big logs. Our limit was about 30".
I can't believe you had your hand on the carriage control while he was trimming off the excess while is back was to the blade. Damn!
Good eye. I don't think that is a good prop to lean on at that moment.
I appreciate your concern but actually, I was holding the carriage in neutral with that belt feed. Sometimes the carriage will creep so we were trying to be safe. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Back in the eighties, we never sawed a log so big we had to make two videos out of sawing one log of course videos had not been invented. There were no cell phones to watch the videos on. We stuck to logs we could saw more easily.
Pity about the heavy checking down the middle.
Nice camera work
Thank you. Thanks for watching
them logs hit the ground hard when they fall.
Yes, they did. That was heavy Thanks for watching.
After all that working of barrel sawing that monster white oak, it's a crying shame there were so many cracked boards in that log. There is probably as much time in edging the remaining boards as there was sawing the whole log.
Yes, you are right. We did a lot of edging getting that shaky part out. Thanks for watching.
Why don't you cut those big ones in a stop sign patern a. ND save all that chinsaw work. ?
That big log dog was definitely a bull dog with sore teeth.
Yes it was. thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching.
Them big logs make firewood out of them they are a pain hahaha
I would hate to have to make fire wood out of that big log. Thanks for watching.
