I worked in a sawmill on 3rd shift as an electrician while going to school during the day to get my associate degree in electrical technology. I started two months after I turned 19. That was some great head-rig footage. It brings back memories.
My goodness, those are the longest logs I have ever seen horizontal. I’m seeing a few trees that tall, but I’ve never seen a log on a sawmill that long, and I watch all the sawmilling videos I can find. Take care God bless.✌️🇨🇦
Hull Oakes Lumber Co. runs a steam powered mill in Dawson, OR. They saw the BIG log that the 2x4 mills can't handle. Lots of long and big beams. ua-cam.com/play/PL2deVLDq3XCOp1GyG5CluFwkPVztWA7kE.html
I like how u load the carriage with the log turner. Being an old time sawmiller I still refer to it using the N-word but only to myself. In the early 70's the mill I worked at had a steam powered carriage and log turner.
Impressive! This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I would love to see footage that shows the operation of the cross cut saw a little more clearly. Who is the user or end consumer of 40' 12 x 12's?
@@SolidToothSawmill sorry buddy, I guess I didn’t watch the video til the end. My bad. I was thinking that people now use laminated timbers nowadays because of less warping and much stronger. But I get your point. 👍😉
The precision and skill required for logging like this is impressive. It takes years of experience to do it right!

I worked at a Sawmill some 50 years ago when I was 20 years old, this brings back lots of memories .
Like three of my fingers and part of my foot. Naw just kidding. Looks dangerous. Good video. Thanks!

Ha ha, I still use the n word when talking about the “turning “ with other sawmill people, otherwise they wouldn’t know what I was talking about.
@@JohnNaturkachArkansawyer here..yes, I call it a n bar too 🤣🤣
Wow, pretty sad you are so proudly racist. You're probably inbred too.
hi there that was interesting , john
@@fricknjeep thank you! Thanks for watching!
giant wooden trunks. Used to make beautiful tables and chairs❤
Fascinating. How were the planks cut in thirds as they were rip sawn.
@@dougalexander7204 we use a pop up saw
That's quite a stick.

Don’t know why they just didn’t cut the log in three pieces to begin with?
@@JohnNaturkach we get a lot more money for 40 ft Timbers then we do for 12 ft Timbers

You need to reposition your camera
I think most people with an interest in machines would far prefer to hear them in operation- instead of dumb garbage music….
I maybe old fashioned, but I sincerely hope that the operator here has some sort of hearing protection!
We do lol 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Sound like your a democratic
why does it look like the saw is smoking?
It’s water 👍🏻
Lot of butt end wasted timber cutting logs that long..
@@frankanddanasnyder3272 they were turned into chips. Not wasted
Always a UA-cam expert in the mix.
