I miss the sound and smell of the old mill, I used to scale and grade there, also kept the saw sharp and did all the lubrication, that mill had babbit metal bearings,used to use 85-140 rear end grease on those, not much equipment like that left running now, please keep up the good work and be careful !!
Nice! Reminds me of the days working in my dad's mill. Once you run a mill like this you never want to run one of those portable bandsaw mills. This is a serious piece of machinery that will do some heavy work!
here I was thinking that it's the same model as yours, go to look in the comments and here you is. I like the hanging screen guard they got there. Stop the small flying bits, and if it suddenly moves toward you, you know to duck fast. :-)
Nice old mill I worked at one for 5 years I miss it but now I'm older them can hooks can pitch your fingers if your not careful all of it is dangerous I know a man lost his eye over a tooth that came out of the blade while cutting he still came back to work james Paine .
My daddy, worked down there at the sawmill, down at the planer mill for an old man named Dixon. Ol' Man Dixon was a very cruel feller, didn't treat his employees very well. Didn't pay'em too much of a wage, didn't pay my daddy too much of a wage.
The mill hasn't been use for production since the 80s and hasn't run since the early 90s. We got it running around 5 years ago and just run it for hobby and demonstration now.
Really enjoyed watching the video. I'm currently working on getting an old mill put together. Just got the roof on the shed I built. Noticed your track system is on concrete columns. Is this the best way to set it up? I've got a 40' track, with L brackets every 4' on the sides. Looks like you had a lot of help
I'm the owner of the mill. Yes because they are basically a foundation so it won't settle. The mill has been on the piers since the early 30s and they never had any problems with settling.
Sure is a nice set, those windows help too.. Is it a t-9 international? I hope we don't need to be fast, if so I'm in trouble as well, that motor sure has good power... Good video Thanx again
It's a U9 the same engine as a T9. It runs really well. It could probably use a valve job but that's a project for another day when we don't have so many other projects that need our attention. 😂
As historically significant and entertaining as these videos are, I would like to see follow-up videos to learn who takes the planked lumber cuts at these dimensions and see how they are used in construction. There's got to be a lot more that goes on at the saw mill than just slicing large logs into boards, and I am certain every cut is carefully measured and planned. Where do they all go from here?
@@BuckTenUSA Well, Buckeroo, that's a start, but I want to see how the particular slabs of wood, cut as thick as they are in some instances, become furniture, or picture frames or even elaborate wood trim around windows or even as part of home construction. The point I'm making is that I just don't want to see the arse end of a flatbed truck leaving someone's wood yard for points unknown, regardless how expertly the wood is measured and cut. Gabish?
@@Greg91073 You didn't answer my question, which can be found in the last sentence of my original post. What happens to the wood you mill once it's purchased by craftsmen? What kind of value do they further add to the species you slice, dice and dry for them? Understanding how the wood is further manipulated by craftsmen will only increase people's appreciation for what YOU do. So, I'll ask again, what happens to the wood after it leaves your shop in someone else's truck or trailer?
It's actually the second mill that's been on our property since new. I just had to buy it once we had my Grandfathers estate sale. It still sits in the same building since it was bought new.
i made this video for a project. i really don't know about Frick saw mills, i knew it was an old mill so i made this video at many different angles to show how things worked that day
I love the way the pinch pulley reverses the table to bring log back on the Fricks. Such a simple but effective design. Hard to believe these great machines were designed so long ago and still work so great. Way better than bandsaw mills. Cheers from N.E. Ohio
Take that man off the saw please what an inexperienced Sawyer. He is not cutting the boards even with the log he has the front end of the log too thick and the back end narrow he’s got a pull the back end of the log forward to even everything out

It's nice watching a sawyer who knows how to saw and get the most out of a log.
Awesome old mill.... Worked in a double 0 Frick as a young guy....
Wish I had this my backyard so satisfying to operate
Love the old mill and IH power unit... Such smooth, steady engines
thanks
Nice mill...i still run a 00 Frick with a 471
Nice

The advantage of a band mill is you can run it alone and you get higher yield.
@@jonathansmith3031, 100% accurate, but im a sucker for these old school mills
@@n8t438 Don't get me wrong, I like them too for sure. I pretty much like anything from the old days.
I would take one of these old fashion circular sawmills over one of today’s bandsaw mills!
hi there nice watching tho old Frick sawing .made that engine bark a bit . and lots of good help thanks john

really nice video of antique log cutting thanks
This machinery was made to last! Wow! Such true cuts--and much faster than I would have thought. Good work.
true
Very Nice Historic Mill!!
Finally someone knows how to saw and use the set works.
He's nice enough to stop by every time we have our demonstration days. Plus I learn something new from him every time. 👍
Such a nice show, I lived next to a Lane #1 mill as a young man, will never forget that, you've brought back some good memories of the past for me
This old mill was my friends Grandfathers mill
wow very nice operating vintage saw mill ! Everybody in video really knew what they were doing, Thanks for posting this video
Hey guys can help me out with the instructions to put a cable on a frick sawmill
My daddy, worked down there at the sawmill, down at the planer mill for an old man named Dixon. Ol' Man Dixon was a very cruel feller, didn't treat his employees very well. Didn't pay'em too much of a wage, didn't pay my daddy too much of a wage.
i enjoyed watching the old Frick sawmill
very good video i agree
Thank you.
Nice work
This video proves that if do proper maintenance on your machinery and keep everything in working order it can last a very long time.
I love watching these old sawmills working. Can make 3 times as much lumber than a bandsawmill in the same time.
now that there is some honest work
Nice sawmill . The sawyer is very experienced !
Awesome
The actual sawing (minus the motor sound) was surprisingly quiet.
That’s a nice stick
Love this and I want to build me one
Beautiful I want it
Работать на такой машине я бы не согласился... Но ботинки твоего "двойника" мне очень понравились...)))
Love the mill and the production. Also kudos to the camera man!
Thanks for watching, i just posted a new video of the Frick mill
The camera man does an excellent job.
Nice,osha approved!
I'm glad it isn't it would make it a hinderence to run.😂
Excellent video. You must have just got it running. Not much sawdust around.
The mill hasn't been use for production since the 80s and hasn't run since the early 90s. We got it running around 5 years ago and just run it for hobby and demonstration now.
Good job of sawing, is that a O frick? It's easy to see this isn't your first day of sawing..
Thanx
It's a "00" Frick
That's actually a friend of mine running my mill. I'm on the recieving end of the mill (off bearing) He runs a mill for a living. I'm a lot slower 😂😂😂
@@Greg91073 Very good video , everyone in video knew what they were doing!
Nice sawing , just a little heavy on slabs, but your loggs were dead, but nice sawing.
The logs were far from uniform from end to end and we're not running it for production. 😂

you wont be sawing any of my cherry..wasteful operation... love the sawmill though
How's the sawyer being wasteful?
Sure is a nice set, those windows help too..
Is it a t-9 international?
I hope we don't need to be fast, if so I'm in trouble as well, that motor sure has good power...
Good video
Thanx again
It's a U9 the same engine as a T9. It runs really well. It could probably use a valve job but that's a project for another day when we don't have so many other projects that need our attention. 😂
You need a big ol pot belly to work in this mill....
Lol 😆
Go to Amish country in Pennsylvania. Water powered sawmills(no electricity). Cabinet shops run by water power.
Actually, we are in Lancaster County Pennsylvania
Don't kid yourself the Amish use gas or diesel engines to run their mills just like everyone else.
Nice machine. What kind of engine dose it have
U9 engine

@@stukaman1162 we cut the boards to whatever size is needed. Then it's dried. The sawmill only cuts rough cut boards and maybe plane the boards.

@@Greg91073 has this mill been in your family since the beginning? Or was it sold and you bought it back and set it back up?

Where u located
Columbia PA.
What is a sawmill like this worth? I am asking if i saw one in this condition without the engine what price range would it be.
anywhere from 2k-5k for just the setup.. without engine, this Frick was bought for 3k at auction
@@BuckTenUSA Thanks for the info.
WHY DIDNT THE NAME AN TYPE OF SAW MILL SHOW UP ?...

Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. Those boards were the same thickness the entire length of the log.
I agree, terrible sawyer, has hardly a clue what he is doing.
@@GiantTech thanks God bless you 🇨🇦
He wouldn't be sawing my logs
This sawmill is not sawing for production anymore! Hasn’t since the 80s they just use it for demonstration and for a private use these days
