Thanks for another great sawing video.
Everyone needs to change out a carriage cable once in their life.

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

You're welcome. I agree!!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Good sawing and a tight cable. Blessings

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Thanks!

Hands on man , the big boys will never be able to compete with that as long as you keep your health .😊

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Hope you are right. Thanks

[@KimThomas-i8z]

Like watching you saw. Not much loss of motion a lot guys you watch are sawing air. Would be nice to hear you comment on what you’re doing.

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Thanks. I need to get miked up I guess.

Extraordinarily cool

Thanks.

good content, good job

Glad you enjoyed it

[@robertgreen8695]

Nice batch of logs you got work with today. How long ago did you replace the existing drum and cable?

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

The drum we removed was about 18 years old. The cable was about 1 and half years old. Thanks!

[@robertgreen8695]

@@nicholssawmillandmore How often do you clean and re-grease the cable?

[@TheWildWestMill]

Hopefully replacing the drum will give you longer life on your cable. We run ours somewhat loose. Have had the same cable now for 7 years the coating is just starting to come off now. So won’t be long before it starts to fray

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

I don't. Maybe I should.

[@williamellis8993]

Another great sawing video, Jason. How long did it take to change out the cable and drum?

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Thanks. Unfortunately it took about a day and a half.

[@templehillsawmill1748]

Is there a specific way the cable twist has to go the drum? Nice video. I miss having your commentary.

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Yes. A picture is always nice to help remember. Thanks and I need to get a microphone 🎤 for sure. Hope that happens soon.

[@TheWildWestMill]

Are the squared up logs going to a resaw?

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Yes but actually we do that on 1 of 2 bandmills.

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

What happens to the big flitches that you send down the line?

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

The large squares are resawn. The slabs and strips go through chipper. The bds with wane or barky sides are edged.

[@jimstrainsandstuff9539]

@@nicholssawmillandmore Roger that. I spent a number of years in local timber mills in my youth and thought that might be the case. Cheers.

[@Trackhawk735]

Why are your logs debarked sometimes and then sometimes they are not debarked?

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Sometimes they are too rough for debarker. But right now the debarker is broken.

[@art1muz13]

16:27ISH Do you have a metal detector.

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

We have a handheld version. Not one that every log goes through.

[@SkenderZyka]

I got a feeling there is alot of waste, or maybe its just me, looks like it

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

I'm going to have a video talking about this subject soon.
