G'day Mr Shoptaw, still in need of rain for the pond I see, as a member of my local historical society and into steam engines and a third gen saw Mill operator this place is my favourite Mill on you tube. Thanks again 👍🇦🇺.
Watching the guy join the took me back to my apprenticeship days, at least you didn't have to replace the whole belt like you do today. Was just a case of cutting out the damaged piece then adding in a new length, did many of repairs Thanks Charlie.
I need a 5 inch thickness quarter sawn 40 inches wide 8 feet in length for a new work bench . Could you deliver it by tomorrow. Watching this video is fun for me. I remember sitting with the sawyer of a much more modern mill when i was a very young. Watching the boards coming off the mill was exciting and mesmerizing and several of those boards were used in building corrals and barn. When my dad died all of the corrals went away and now I have a beautiful treasure of resourse material in many of those boards wonderfully weathered. I have made several peices of furniture for mom and found pleasure in those old boards. Thanks for the re-kindling of a great memory. Patrick from Idaho.
G'day. Have great memories of working in sawmills here in Australia, cutting good old Aussie hardwood, would have liked to work in a steam powered mill. Great to see this mill in full operation, and not just a historical exhibit. Not 100% sure, but I don't think we have any fully operational, commercial steam sawmills left in Australia anymore. Great video, keep coming mate. Cheers.
I like the new camera positions and external video of the handling of goods, Amazing as usual, thanks for taking the time to make the videos for us fans of Industrial Steam
@@MrShoptaw I never tire of watching the machinery worked, and the way you captured the real feel and mood of it is very pleasing, I especially liked the dog playing at the water as it has such a feel of the mood, I look forward to the next videos
What people don’t realize about using wood for energy is it would only last two days to totally run the worlds needs and all of it would be burned up. I love watching this and hope it’s around a long time. It’s better than any program. Fascinating.
I work at a mill, we grind up leftover truss parts and turn them into pellets for stoves in Utah..it’s the other direction I know, but I can appreciate this in many ways…. That forklift caught me off guard. Hang onto that thing!!
Dear Mr. Shoptaw. 👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always! This time even with a nice dog and some different workers/operators. I absolutely love every video about this impressive old family business. I wish this one would have been at least a 100 percent longer (of course always too short for my kind of personal taste). ;-) 😁 As always: Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (humans, dogs and trees)
Love your videos brings back some great old memories, did not have steam power but love the top saws. Was wondering what size saws you run, my dad and his brother built a top saw so they could saw 72” wide boards they logged off a cottonwood river bottoms I can hardly remember. Do remember the mill had a monster Buda Diesel engine that he put a turbo on when the top saw went on, took many a nap listening to that thing bellering away in dads car next to the mill. Also love those great logs they get to cut a few each year out of state or national forest otherwise the big ones are gone up in the Midwest here, Thanks Again.
Thanks, I'm glad it brought back those memories. In some of my other videos of the mill (I think "Best of the MIll) there is narration that tells about aspects of the mill like saw blade diameter, etc..
@@MrShoptaw I understand. Thanks. For modern equipment drive belt pulleys have micro adjustable suspensions. I would expect that older equipment would have something similar. Adjusting pulleys is critical for operating modern belt systems so they do not fall off under load.
Bom dia! Pra mim é uma honra viu prestigiar seu trabalho, vamos sempre juntos somar e fortalecer nossos objetivos, Conto com você, eu já estou por aqui.,,
Почему на паровой тяге? Реликвия? Или район где нет электроэнергии? В россии нет ничего, что работало до второй мировой войны, даже незнаю и название моделей. После развала СССР в 90х очень многое сдано на переплавку что работало легендарного в 50х 70х
This is a family owned and operated mill and they have chosen to keep it as original as possible. Electric power has never been brought to the property. The mill has been accepted into our National Register of Historic Places.

It’s amazing how reliable things built over 100 years ago are compared with what we have now.
I agree. They were made to last.
I agree also. Things just don’t last anymore. That is why I like to try to save the old stuff from going to the junkyard
I know this has been said but thank you very much for another video. They never get old. I watch all the old ones over and over.
Glad you like them! Thanks
I am amazed by the hugh size of the trees. The work you're family does is amazing, keep posting videos please.

Glad you enjoy it!
Poetry in motion , the steam , oil , pine sawdust , the machinery with that slightly used pickup . Beautiful . 👍🇬🇧
Thanks, it's a magical place.

It's hard to plant dinosaurs and wait around for them at the pump, unless your patient 🤔👍.
Awesome Forklift and dump truck....
We agree!

Man! I would like to have that job!
I love you're photography. I have a band mill. Going to start with an electric bike review with dji osmo action 3 camera. Great work!
Thank you. All the best with your project.
That dog better be named Millie.
👍👌👏😁
Okay, Millie it is. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for another great one !! How many generations have worked at that sawmill ?
I think this is going on the 4th generation.
Nicely Done ❤ and the clever dog still got its tail 🤔
Thanks for watching.
Reminds me of my child hood in Ulong
Glad about that.
I would like to work at that mill!
Get in line. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video. What year is your forklift?
Not sure, I'm just the videographer. Thanks for watching.
Wawawwww👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
Thanks for watching.
Another great video. Y'all have to come south to the Sacramento Delta and take a ride on the steamboat. Does the mill have visitors' days?
Thank for watching. I would suggest you check their website about visits to the mill. Google Phillips Brothers Mill.
@@MrShoptaw you're very welcome. You're welcome to come for a ride as well. Thank you for the information
I absolutely love that forklift! What year is it?
Not sure. Next time I'm at the mill I'll ask.
What timber are you cutting? I am in Australia and we don’t have those sorts of timber here.
It looks like bull pine/ponderosa pine
That log is Ponderosa Pine.
How does one track the drive belts ?
That I don't know as I just make videos.
@@MrShoptaw I understand. Thanks. For modern equipment drive belt pulleys have micro adjustable suspensions.
I would expect that older equipment would have something similar.
Adjusting pulleys is critical for operating modern belt systems so they do not fall off under load.
Where are you Located at, what part of the USA
California. You can learn more about the mill from their web site. Google Phillips Brothers Mill.
I notice there is a different crew today.
The gentleman running the main engine has been in all the videos. Joining him is his daughter and her husband.
@@MrShoptaw I think he is the head guy now.
Is this Mills still in operation?
Yes, it is.
@@MrShoptaw yes! Thank you for every video that you put out on it!
machine estoric
Thanks for watching.
A carbon neutral operation!
Thanks for watching.
Bom dia! Pra mim é uma honra viu prestigiar seu trabalho, vamos sempre

Thank you, it is an honor for me to share my work.
Хочу такую себе пилораму....
Сколько кубов нужно сжечь чтобы получить куб досок?
I don't know the answer to your question, but having watched the operation, it didn't take much. Thanks for watching the video.
@@MrShoptaw ну я надеюсь не приходится покупать дрова или топить частью деловой доски)))
Почему на паровой тяге?
Реликвия?
Или район где нет электроэнергии?
В россии нет ничего, что работало до второй мировой войны, даже незнаю и название моделей.
После развала СССР в 90х очень многое сдано на переплавку что работало легендарного в 50х 70х
