There were some beuatiful srainbowing at the start of that first log, I have been looking for some rainbow poplar with reds and purples for some electric guitar bodies, failed as yet!
It’s either 1/2 or 5/8 of an inch. I would say as long as it was something like that. I made a block and stopped it next to the saw and shut everything down. I hit it with a sledgehammer up against the log, to hit that bow in, in the middle! It seemed to work!
@@Helmsburgsawmill Once my splitter gets bent a bunch. We just replace it cuz the steel gets weak after a while we use a big pipe wrench to bend ours back it’s sure is a pain to when the splitter doesn’t want to cooperate lol That’s some beauty Tulip
When cutting dimensional lumber how do you account for blade width? Rule of thumb or actual? What do YOU see in cab to accomplish this? Camera view cutting is excellent but how about picture in picture view of what you see in cab at same time. I'm real ebbie jeebie for the cutting view camera guy over all those spinning belts. Careful?
@@Tadrjbs the saw kerf is 1/4 inch. I include the math in my head. I have a dial that sits on the front of the carriage that lets me know how far away the bunks are from the saw. And I have in cab videos on here!! I also have a couple of dual views going at the same time
@@TheWildWestMill tks for the reply about hardwood grading rules. I found some videos and it seems to me that grading hardwood isn't the easiest thing to do especially standing on moving lumber. Here in British Columbia the grader(s) stand on the floor as the lumber moves past on the chain. It seems to me that the hardwood grader looks to see how much clear cuttings can come out of the piece. That is similar to "Shop" grades here.
@@johnmcgarvie4061 for select and better need 83 1/3% clear 1 common is 66 2/3 2 common 50% clear and 3 common 25% clear. Each species has there own specific rules It is fairly complex but just need to be able to do quick math surface measure tells you how many units needed to make specific grade then looking for clear face cuttings Once you get the math down it’s pretty straight forward from there
Awesome job on the camera vid that's how it should be done 👍👍👍.
nice job, I can watch sawmills all day, that along with concrete and pushing dirt.
Hey those are fun to watch!!
nice sawing great woog ty Ian
Thank you:)
Good sawing 👍 Nice looking stuff
Nice work folks!
Beautiful boards!
Nice work, and very nice boards. One question what do you do with the bark after it comes out of the building?

I’m sorry if I’ve already asked! Where are you from?
@@Helmsburgsawmill England!
It’s amazing how quickly and accurately they cut the wood!
@@AndrewAHayes hmmmm🤔 maybe I could help you out of my channel gets big enough😂
could sit and watch that de-barker all day
Maybe set a camera angle so we can see you line up the log before it hits the saw?
I've always wanted to see where the bark mulch goes. I assume you guys sell it to some kind of bark mulch / landscape company? Use it for fill?
Yes!! And we even sell a pick up load at a time!
What’s the reason your standard cabin log is 16x6? Does a 12x12 make sense economically with the logs you get? Interested in your stuff for a build
The logs sit nicer in the knotches. The walls run better!
Also a 12x12 dimension log, will take you more logs to reach ceiling height! Hence more material to get your ceiling height
Does the splitter have to be a certain thickness? It was leaning innward bad ,thanks for the video Ian keep them coming

Ian what was the Ugliest log you Milled
Shewww that’s a hard question. It would be either a giant knobby hickory tip log, or pin oak log!
I try to forget those ones😂

Where could I find grading rules for hardwood lumber. The national lumber grading authority here in Canada only covers softwood lumber?
Nhla. National hardwood grading association

Not very pretty wood with that ugly heart stain.
