Ya he’s picking it up fast what every sawyer needs is time in the seat. Right now cuz the lumber market he won’t get a lot of seat time right at the moment Just has to be patient I told him I’d rather him go slow and do it right then go fast and do it wrong thanks for the kind words Robert
He’s been sawing for many many years. Just doesn’t get a lot of seat time I saw for around 7 hours out of the day. And I’m training a young kid. The young guy gets the last 45 minutes everyday. Just started sawing Monday
@patkyne5534 there is a small barn cleaner at the headsaw. That drops into the large barn cleaner or barn sweeper that goes all the way around the building in the floor. All the equipment sits on top of it so the sawdust drops into it. Then goes out to a conveyor and seperater the oversized goes into a small bin outside and the small sawdust goes into the large hoppers outside for loading truck it holds around 200 yards
Hello friend, I’m not sure if you can or want to say anything about this, but where are you located? Still trying to catch up with the videos, keep up the good work! Still amazes me how you get anything from some of those logs!
Ya buddy I don’t make the videos for advertising. We have been around a long time because we make a quality product and have had good customer relationships for many years. We appreciate you watching
Some of the best Timber in the world grows right here in Southern Ontario. It’s tobacco country. Sand ground mostly anyways. Lots of flat ground and wicked gully Hard maple and walnut are the go too. But we have every species you can think of and amazing forestry management practices. No clear cuts unless for a subdivision or factory but have to pay to plant as many acres as the clear cut somewhere else
I started my first job out of high school in the mid 80s in plywood mill here in NW Oregon. We have mainly Douglas fir, hemlock, and spruce. When they started shutting down the old growth forests in the late 80s we started using pine from eastern Oregon and cotton wood for the inner layers. The cotton wood was hard to deal with in the layup process because after it come out of the dryer it was all wavy and warped lol. I loved watching the logs on the lathe, it was amazing to me that they could take some of these 10 foot thick logs and peel it down to 3 inches. So watching a sawmill like yours work is totally fascinating to me!!
@ ya we only air dry cottonwood. Because kiln drying it does exactly what you said it goes wavy splits and cracks. We have hemlock spruce. Pine. White cedar We order in big blocks of Douglas fir then resaw to what the customer wants. Since we don’t have that species
He will do just fine. He has a good teacher.
