@suemoore1965 I don’t remember the sawyer’s name at the moment, but he did the best job explaining the anatomy of a log and tension that I have watched. If you search “sapwood pull” you will find it
I am a new Sawyer. I have seen hours of video...this is the first time anybody has shown me a walkthrough of Log Tension! Fantastic job sir. I just subscribed to your channel for this so great job. I will be watching. Thanks.
Appreciate the time and effort in helping the novice. Liked the ending; been at it three years and still make mistakes! Now that is a true educator. God Bless!
I am saving to buy a sawmill I am in Newport Tennessee I have an Alaskan set up now I have a Granberg and I am currently building a small cabin 608 square foot I have cut all my porch with the mill which consists of 6x6 post, 3x6 rafters, and 1x ceiling decking. I am just starting on my siding (board & batton) which I am cutting 3/4” I am getting some really nice wide boards after cutting off the live edge in am getting 27” wide boards which are beautiful. I am also cutting all the inside wall and ceiling covering out with the mill I figure it will take most of the Fall to get this done. I am currently dried in all windows are in, door, metal on the roof. This week I am insulting, and closing up the soffits.
Brother, If I was smarter, I would have figured that out sooner. LOL! No telling how much wood I wasted by not understanding log tension. I am thinking about getting a bigger sawmill so, I can Quarter saw. I can't quarter saw much with a 5 7/8" throat. I may jump up to the OS31 in the future.
You are a good presenter and, I think a good operator. I recently visited my brother and saw him operate his WoodMizer LT40. He explained some of the same wood sawing measurements and set up “reasoning”. Though I am disabled and in retirement, I still really like this stuff.
Production mills are trying to get every square inch of board ft from each log no matter the outcome. In their defence, most will kiln dry with weight pressing down to hold their form. As a small sawmill owner, we have to think more like sawyers did 100 years ago. Kiln dried wood was rare, so they learn to cut more stable cuts.
Thanks for the video. Ideally I work out from the desired cant to avoid extra cuts of thin waste. So, center the pith, line up the blade 3" above the pith in this case, then set the scale for dimension of slab boards I want/think I can get off of the top of the log, and raise the saw to the top slab height and start the cuts. This way, the waste is kept to the outside wane.
Tony you are far better at teaching then most.for the simple idea you need to know what you are doing before you can teach. Great job again thank you I could work with you any day with very little problem on behalf ether you or I again thank you
You sure taught me something about relieving the tension in the logs!! It makes perfect sense once you just think about it!! Thank you for taking the time to explain what you were doing, and, why you were doing it. Happy milling!
You are a VERY good instructor. I have been trying to learn this skill for five years. You are to the point and have answered so many questions. Thanks
I think you have forgotten to the your sawdust saver for your wife my friend! Thanks again for your videos Joe you really know what you are doing mate it’s amazing thanks again for that.
My dad was a small engine mechanic, and he used to really enjoy tweaking motors to get the top performance out of them. When he was selling a stihl (new) to a customer, he recommended that for someone that actually runs hard, stepping down two bar sizes (basically) gave the operator increased power over an equivalent saw with the “right” bar on it. He also recommended getting the upgraded logging spikes to take advantage of leverage during a cut and to keep consistent pressure so the chain can chew. Being able to manipulate the angle of cut determines how safe and fast the chain will cut without kickback. Pinching the entire bar and chain is another discussion, but I am glad that you pointed out that you were running a 20” bar instead of a 24
Nice job explaining and showing. You are a good teacher. All of the background information helps to understand it better too. Thank you for taking the time to do this well.
I sawmilled a ton with my OS27, then got tied up building a house and it hasn't been set back up yet. Been a little over a year since I have run the thing. Good watching you run yours!
@@TonysTractorAdventure Thanks for the update !, If I can ask what did you do with your old unit. I liked the simplicity of it. The more add on's can give you more to have to work on if something breaks down.
I tend to go for a 90° roll for the second cut, too. But I always check for plumb with a spirit level, I never trust my eye. What looks right, never is! Doing a quarter turn means that everything cut off the top is half edged, making re-sawing easier.👍
I love all of the explanations of your cuts. I am chainsaw milling and you have given me practical information to use for my lumber too. I currently am cutting old growth oak from a tree off of our land. After I dry it I will make my final cuts to clean it up and will mortis and tennon a king size bed.😁✊ Thanks
Great tutorial, I am learning watching it and appreciate the video quality. Using saw dust as a compost for the garden is something I will consider now. 👍
Day Tony; another beautiful one. I hear everyone call it a CANT! No one ever has told me why it is called a can’t! Now I figered it out! Once you have trimmed off all the sides “you can’t call it a log anymore!!!!! After much, much figuring etc; I had to order nother mill. It is to be delivered tomorrow. My wife said she just hopes I live long enough to saw enough oak boards for her fences between yard and pastures and barn. May God bless if you R A saved believer and keep um coming loved this presentation
Your sawmill videos are awesome. I recently purchased a sawmill and hit the ground running. Was able to cut 9 true 6x6 cedar posts in my first weekend. Thank you!!!
Enjoyed your video! Good demo's and efficient explanations. Got a new mill a couple of weeks ago and it's almost set to go. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Great and simple explanation on getting size cant needed. I notice you use the screw type log dogs vs cam lock. I have used several types including the screw lock but found the cam lock .quicker and more convenient for me, I look for every advantage to simplify my process. I truly enjoy your videos.
The only reason why I can't speak in regards to helpful hints tips and suggestions is because I don't have the experience so therefore I'm letting you teach me of course it is experience that I'll never get to use but I love it just the same keep up the good work I'm proud of you
hi Tony! I've spent the past couple evenings enjoying your video presentations. I am about to get into the sawyer vocation with a bunch of logs we obtained while clearing a wooded property in cottage country Ontario. Your advice is excellent. I get the cutting part... but it seems to me the skill is getting the uncut timber onto the bed. Nice to have a good tractor! Andrew C.
Nicely done. Well explained. Camera angles showed how those rubber bands acted. I watch a few sawmill and chainsaw channel's & I really like your style of presentation. I have liked, commented & subscribed. I'll watch your previous & all future efforts. Thank you for sharing the craft with us all. ❤
Great channel. I just bought an OS23 with a 10hp Briggs. I noticed yours had electric start, but I didn't see that option. Mine hasn't shipped, but watching your videos gives me confidence about assembly and use. I'm using Logosol chain saw mill currently. It has its place, but at 71 years old, I need a little less work. 🙂 Thanks!
Regarding tension wood and trying to avoid bowed lumber. I suggest that the tension you encountered was prevalent due to the amount of summerwood vs springwood and has to do with vigorous growth and the best way to eliminate it is by slow drying. with weights on the top of the unit while drying.
Thanks for the effort in putting this video together; very informative. I’m a new sawyer and was wondering why you only took off the knot (22:20) when you knew that much more needed to be taken off in the next cut?
Congratulaciones, veré didactic presentación. Just received a new hd36 v2 and sholud have it running in a couple of weeks. Our trees are beginning to reacción our initial 20 inch" diameter original target. Beguining to ha excess 9 to 14 inch trees ( no knots). Would these inch as much. 50% softwoods 50% hardwoods.
Your accent reminds me of my best friend from Tennessee. You and he look alike. He passed away recently. Sure miss him! He lived near Morristown Tennessee on the other side of the lake.
I'm using sawdust on my garden, too. I study different gardening methods. I'm doing a version of Back to Eden using sawdust instead of wood chips. DON'T till it in. As it builds up on top, the bottom layer rots and gets a fungus network. Just pull back a thin strip for direct sowing or put the starts in extra deep.
Thanks for the video.I was just looking out of interest and amazed to find the tension seems to run around closer to the bark, limbs make saw go up and down as the wood near joints is very hard as it has to take weight of branch. Nice one overall, please keep it up.
Good job explaining Tony!! I noticed your push handle started peeling, you can wrap paracord rope with a knot for each wrap and a few drops of super glue will keep it there forever. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Gary from the UK here grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming, keep up the good work with the videos, just one question is there a calculation to work out the shrinkage or a rule of thumb.
Yeah mother nature got you on that one. That big limb. Something has to hold it up. If you want good accurate 2x stock over saw the width. Let it move. Throw them back on and trim both sides.
You know you can trust a wood worker when he wears an ISO certified Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive diver watch. That's my kinda' guy. That's a cool watch man! Idk how old your watch is but they don't make one with a silver minute hand anymore. They're red now and have been for a while
Love your mill shed. Been trying to get one built but always putting out other fires. Sawed the lumber on our mill to build our barn. Just finished it a few weeks ago. Was going to send you some pictures but do not see a way to upload in comments. Enjoy your channel!
Have you ever considered making some kind of cradle for log rolling? I use an ATV/motorcycle scissor lift for my thickness planer to lift it up to my outfeed table they are relatively inexpensive for the job they do; I think it is a 3 ton bottle jack that operates the scissor lift, and on top is a metal table. If you were to have rollers on a slight incline toward the edge of the lift, but parallel with the bed. Think of a roller about 3 inches higher than the lowest bar of rollers. You could use straight rods with roller skate bearings on them or a pipe over a solid rod to make a roller bearing of sorts. Lift the log up a bit by foot petal (or they make pneumatic) and roll it as normal; it would make manipulating those wet logs a whole lot easier on your body. I say that as a guy with titanium plates and rods on my spine now from not taking care of my body
Thank you. I can look back and see the journey and how we have learned along the way. I used to thing I had a good understanding. Now, I know better! LOL!
Hi. Never realized how much tension is in a log. So how long would you dry the 6x6 before using and would it stay in the straight form that you cut it? Thx much.
Bill, I don't let them dry. I cut them like this so they had equal or as close to equal tension on each side. We built the greenhouse Using green post. ruclips.net/video/FbmNOHtfCcc/видео.html
Hi, Tony, greetings from southwest Missouri. Great explanation-- I really liked your "rubber band" analogy. Compliments to your camera person & editor, too! Where did you get that cant hook? Looks like it gives a good grip.
Best explanation I have heard.He a good teacher.
I love these types of reality videos, tell it like it is, the right people appreciate this stuff and will always come back for more, thanks
Thank you so much for the support
Nice, thank you for a detailed instructions. I hope to get one small mill someday.
❤❤❤ I have watched 100's of sawmill videos and you are the 1st one who explained the equal tension. ❤❤❤
So true on tension he only one

I am fascinated with the sawmill too.
Good video. I have been looking at all the mills I can. Gonna get me one eventually
I recently upgraded to the OS35. I have an extension kit coming. Once that gets here, it will be next level for a manual mill.
I always wondered why they didn't rotate the log at the big mills and now I know. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work

No. It will shrink some, but each species of timber will be different.
