Yes we get it too. Because we get so much poplar the ambrosia bettle will get into poplar. Hard maple. And beech But it likes the soft maple the most

I'm sure the janitor appreciates the business we give him lol. We try to keep it clean But the guys only clean really when we are broke down. And we are pretty good at running all the time

The log that didn’t belong what is it the banana shaped log that was really a banana shape ,I didn’t think you were going to get anything out of it. You surprised me.✌️🇨🇦

@dougsmith548 there’s one log that’s a different species

@dougsmith548 I’ve been taught how to saw those banana shape logs to get the maximum possible from them

Third log in definitely didn't belong. It looked like an oak, red oak?

@LouisKeller-c2r you got it buddy. This customers wants only soft maple or hard maple so I cut it but didn’t send it to the gsngsaw We have a huge order coming up for materials to make 5000 vegtable bins that can be only Oak or Ash so we will save it for that 5000 bins will be around 600 000 bdft of material so we will need around 800 000 because the gsngsaw makes a lot of sawdust with the kerf of all the blades

Ya next time I will get the wrecked blade in there. I was more worried about getting back sawing. Sorry

Trees grow around all kinds of crazy stuff I’ve heard of axe heads

Sure the next time i change sawbits I can show you. A couple hundred dollars in sawbits. Then also downtime of the mill because a couple guys aren’t doing much but sweeping when the saw isn’t cutting

@TheWildWestMill Thanks for the reply 👍

Pretty much. It’s not bad if it dries out but your comment is correct for the most part lol

No buddy. That’s the some editing of the videos. There is a big double cut band grade mill on the same property. There’s a few videos and I’ll get some more. I’m just sawyer at the circular saw easier to get videos of it

Appreciate you watching very much

Only about 24” but big for this mill the saw cuts around 19.5” that’s the magic number as Mark G would say lol

Haha dont we all 😂

@sirperksalot56 maybe one day you will get there lol

What lol. I was putting bunks down while they were banding up the lifts then I went and got another forklift from the basement Nobody can do nothing as well as me I’m ok with that

@@TheWildWestMill I sure hope so..

The lumber isn’t used for pallets just the cants. The grade mill makes so much ambrosia maple lumber it would make your head spin Grade lumber of any species just isn’t selling right now. Only industrial Timbers. RR ties. And specialty cuts of lumber So many mills have gone out of business. Hopefully this election helps with the economy. It’s even effecting us here in Canada 🇨🇦

@@TheWildWestMill Maybe your corporate could reach out to the school board and maybe negotiate a contract to supply the school(s) with wood for their wood working department. Just a thought.

@robertgreen8695 we do that already mostly by donation tho

I’m always in the chair lol. These are just commercial use but when we were cutting beech we were making stringers for boxes of whiskey to go on. Right now the soft maple we are cutting this week is for a custom order 4x4s. 97” that get profiled. For drying bundles of lumber that leave no stain

I can’t video everything It’s a production sawmill There’s no money being made if the saw isn’t running. Sorry for the disappointment

@TheWildWestMill l guess so but would have been nice to see some burnt up teeth .. even a couple of stills of the blade once it was off.. 👍

I have another video like that destroyed the sawblade

@@TheWildWestMill thats more like it.. everyyone just wants to see the carnage in action these days.. Carry on.. cheers will check it out..👍

@ thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

I’m sure it is lol

Lately I have been. I was only only sawing 6 or 7 hours but our footage would drop too much in the 2 hours or so I wasn’t sawing so I don’t mind but I’m the lead hand too and I can’t do any of the important other things when I’m sawing. So some days I don’t get any breaks or lunch. But it’s all good im there to work

Thanks. There is a fleet of trucks like that

We are just short on logs probobly somewhere around 150 000 bdft and we do 30 to 40000 a week of those Little logs somtime more but we cut the same every week in bundles of cants bought from other sawmills

Yes that’s a Canadian log truck. Can carry 100 000 pounds on our roads plus the truck sorting for species length grade so they can be scaled and paid to landowner or logger

@@TheWildWestMill Is the grade then determined in the deck or at the saw?

@donkauer6744 The log is first graded by the log scaler if it’s #1 saw log. 2. 3 or. Pallet There’s different prices for all that stuff per species. Also the grade mill pays extra anything over 20 ft They saw up to 40ft specialty timbers then the sawyers grade as they are sawing to get maximum value. Then the grader actually grades it. Possibly cutting some off the a specific board to upgrade it. I will do a video on grading sometime here

Yes separating. Species. Length so they can be scaled Doyle scale. Then landowner or logger can be paid

That’s a Canadian log truck

Loader operator piles them up after they are scaled. I have a video of that as well a couple months back. Some logs are bought and scaled where they are cut. Then when they get to the mill are re scaled and counted to make sure they are all there. Years ago. Some loggers tried selling logs twice to 2 different sawmills lol

I like sawing Red Pine. White pine saws even easier

There is a double cut bandsaw grade mill on the same property

Around 550 rpm It’s 150hp electric motor that runs it. Thanks for watching

I’m a work in progress lol

I didn’t have anyone to really teach me I got some pointers here and there but mostly had to figure it out for myself. That’s why I’m open to suggestions if it will make me better and more efficient

I’m not sure why everyone likes it so much

I’m not sure why everyone likes it so much

Tulip is actually in the poplar family all these other guys on UA-cam like helmsburg and nichols. When they are sawing poplar it’s actually tulip poplar But. Here in Ontario for Poplar we have Tulip , Aspen , Cottonwood , balm Do when we say poplar it could be any one of those lol

@ where in Ontario would you be located. I was born in Peterborough Ontario and raised in Omemee Ontario.✌️🇨🇦

@dougsmith548 we are about 3 hours from peterborough to the south west

Tulip is used for trim and mouldings but they paint it normally It’s technically a hardwood because it loses its leave in the winter but it’s very soft. In the pallet world we mix it with pine for the most part unless the customer specify otherwise

@ just north of Toronto then

Good question. So we do have our own kilns on the property. And heat treat. So some customers want their pallet materials kiln dried Or heat treated Or some goes on sticks for air dry Or some get it piled tight and sold green cuz they want asap. We do it all

Nichols posted a video just now. Sawing poplar it’s but it’s really Tulip is the actual name for the type of poplar they saw in the states.

@ thank you for getting back to me. I was out playing around ,how long have you been making cants for the pallet trade? I mean the mill not you. I thought a quote I would like to share with you. Be mindful of your safety and never put your finger where you wouldn’t put your face. God Bless✌️🇨🇦🥹

@dougsmith548 this mill has been making pallet stock since the early 80s I have heard that quote but just slightly different lol

The guide probably just isn’t quite right and I’m pushing it to hard maybe It all has to do with sharpness and guide pins in the correct spot Appreciate you watching

The red pine is so straight not many branches but smaller. We do get some really big red pine. This was from the first or second thinning from a plantation The Spruce just has so many branches and big branches sometimes. The loggers get lazy and the way they grow big at the butt and they taper so fast it does take longer to get to the meat 🍖 lol but we get some monster spruce

I will keep it in my arsenal lol

Thanks for watching I really do appreciate it

18 - 20” is the perfect size. Can get 8 cants they saw almost as fast but not quite lol

Ya on Friday I was cutting 48 logs an hour which is pretty good for a little mill like that .. I may need a picture or diagram I understand better that way lol Thanks for watching. Nobody was in the live chat. I was hoping to talk to somebody. It said 18 we’re watching

@ sorry, my friend I had company Friday and I wasn’t paying attention do you. She was quite pleasant and an excellent cook. I stayed late. Stay safe God bless.oh oh this is like talking live. Almost. Stay safe God bless.✌️🇨🇦

@ have a great rest of your weekend

Thanks buddy I appreciate you watching very much. There’s plenty more videos

All our saws are hammered for 550 rpm. I will only send a saw out to be hammered if I’m having problems with. Like it’s been heated up a a few too many times I do have a winter blade. For if it stay -15 or -20 for a bunch of weeks in a row it’s thicker and has winter sawbits. Al tho I have had to use it

Must be a big table saw Thanks for watching I really do appreciate it

😂

There is so much more to see buddy. That’s just what came fresh cut directly off the mill that afternoon. There’s millions of bdft cut some air drying some in barns that’s been kiln dried I will try to show it sometime

Here they go by the direction of the shaft The shaft is vertical I know it’s confusing lol thanks man I appreciate that I’ve only been sawing 5 years I still have a lot to learn. And I’m always open to suggestions

Thank you sir Thanks for watching there is plenty more videos if your interested

@ sure am interested! . I’m a retired sawfiler, benchman , (which hammers the saws) --millwright. Worked for 50 plus years in a number of industrial mills. Headrigs from Chip Canters. Twin Saws, with overhead saws. Band saws single cut,and double cut band mills. Even sawed for a while. The reason I worked at different mills was cause I was loaned out by my company. Kinda like a trouble shooter I guess. 😉

@ so we have a double cut band mill for the grade mill. With an identical resaw but it obviously just cuts one way. Then there’s the pallet mill which you have seen. Then there’s a flooring plant. And a kiln dried grading barn Then we have a stick mill. You may have heard of the sticks they are call breeze dried sticks for kiln and air drying lumber There is also another band mill about an hour away. All same owner. The band mill just got a brand new autobench it’s an amazing pc of equipment

@@JohnNaturkach if you go to playlist there’s one of the double cut bandsaw

@ lol. We just called them stickers. Pain in the arse when they get used over n over. Not familiar with the term autobench.

I will get some video next week while it’s running my buddy is the grader. He will talk about grading. Should be interesting for some people

It’s a huge mill there’s the double cut band saw for the headsaw. Then an identical resaw but it only has teeth on one side of the blade They pump out the hardwood grade lumber

Ya sometimes it really throws them good lol. Thanks for watching .. I really do appreciate it

It’s on the same property

The band mill is the grade lumber mill. Then there’s this pallet mill there’s also a flooring plant Kiln dried lumber grading barn. And another band mill about an hour away. All the same owner

Now I understand why the pallet mill gets such crappy logs. All the good logs go for grade lumber. Makes sense.

@ But we still do not bad. So when the grade mill starts having too many logs in their inventory. We will start getting bigger and nicer stuff. But never the high dollar wood but when they get low of logs then we really start getting scraps lol that’s why you will see some decent logs but we get big logs of aspen. Cottonwood soft maple pine spruce. All the time

lol is that really what song is playing I can barely hear it

The saw is actually not an Edminston it’s Helle by sawmill hydraulics. Yes everything runs off 600 Thanks for watching and commenting

I will keep trying to come up with other views to keep you interested lol. Thanks for the feedback a couple guys have said they like it. It looks like a left handed mill right

@ yes it does.

We are going back into ambrosia maple Monday. We have a custom order for Breeze crossers. They are just like the sticks we make for kiln drying lumber. But they are a crosser instead so I cut the cants the gangsaw makes the crossers then go to another department to be profiled
