Hi Mark, Ed, ZZ, & Hank. Beautiful lumber. I completely understand the " safe factor." Elm trees were unpredictable logs. That I ever cut down in my 37 yrs of firewood logging. The hardest to split. We wait for below zero weather to split one tree. We had a backup of dry firewood. They were " wettest" wood too. It smelled like " fresh tanned leather" too. I heard a man that said: Elm is a waste a time! It heated our house quite well. We do chunks of elm logs & " bank" the woodstove. There will be 3/4 of the logs gone in hot coals. Put on more & continue to heat the house. My first time seeing in lumber. Thanks everyone. Until the next one. 😍😊😉👍❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
thanks Lawrence , very true .
Elm does produce some really nice coals in my experience.
@@daves.3895 Yes Dave. We given permission to clear dead trees. Then the beginning of my 3 yrs of firewood logging. We saw a lot of dead elm. Amazing hot coals. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great to see one of those logs nobody would buy get turned into something useful and beautiful! A Cinderella log!
I enjoy watching the way you and Mr Eddie work together.
Really enjoy your channel. This slippery elm episode reminded me of a phrase I heard when I was a kid , a very long time ago.
"Oh woodsman spare that “Slippery Elm” it’s the only tree my wife can’t climb…"..
Thnx
Jon P.
Oh, I pine for the good old days (early in channel) when Mark looked out at the log yard and said, "We have so many logs, we'll never run out!" You all need to start a go fund me for logs me thinks. I love watching Mark, Eddie and the crew in any case!
I really like watching thee videos. Really interesting how you deal with problem logs.
thanks Guy.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.
good evening Andrew.
Nathan doesn't saw near as much as he used to. It's great to get my sawing fix from you and Eddie.
Half past one in the morning , we used to make wooden bearings out of elm for field rollers it was also use for farm trailer floors , still remember screwing floors down with a cranked screw driver always an apprentice job, any way have a nice day
thanks Alex.
Nice. Our barn is elm truss. My Grandpa's father sawed the trusses for that about 1920. This video today gets me thinking how tough it was to do that back then. Really made the old Case steam engine have to work. I didn't think to ask Grandpa what they did to check for metal back then. There was more virgin timber in those early days. Quite a puzzle sawing these. Grandpa was very impressed.
thanks Anthony , Hi Grandpa!
Every time you have to go outside to get a chunk of bark 0ff something and I get to hear the growl 0f the bus motpor again, you're going to get me to wishing the dorr would fall 0off that dog house. Yall did FINE with that elm and the bark was certainly slipping on them.
Happy Steam Show and God BlessI
I have been told that elm does not make good lunber due warping and internal stress. Good luck to owner getting anything good out this lumber. As I watch this video it is reassuring to see the log move about on the cradle as it is being sawed. At least it makes an interesting video. Pretty tough trying to make something from nothing.❤😂
True quite a few of our trusses are warped and the north side of the barn is tied together with cable. My Grandpa says they take a very long time to dry without a kiln.
yes very true.
That elm is beautiful wood. I'll make a gorgeous live edge table !
Thes odd logs make for great viewing. Great job. Ever do a weeping willow?
thank you , no we have not sawed a willow tree yet.
You did a great job squeezing all the usable lumber out of those as you could. Plus you made somebody's day getting all that lumber and it didn't go to firewood.
thank you.
In the early 1970s, I had a good friend who built his own house. He built all his kitchen cabinets out of slippery (red) elm. They were gorgeous.
In our area, red elm was called "poor man's walnut."
it is very pretty but string and hard to work with.
I run a bandmill and I agree with you; the best metal detector is the first cut with a brand new blade
Gnome Bros is really keeping his area clean WOW
That was one of my favorite videos! I kind of enjoyed the not so great logs, if they don't turn into pretzels, it may make some decent wood.
thanks Chuck , I like these small custom sawing jobs too.
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
Not to bad of yield for what you had to work with mark, don't let the negative people get to you bud this world is full of experts
I love a good challenge.Just to see what happens.Great video.

It was neat seeing you play with those nasty elms.
it was fun to saw.
10 out of 10- for making fire wood , Mark
I think he forgot what the customer asked for
Thanks mark! Enjoyed
That's some pretty slick sawing.
thanks Herman.
For what you had to work with you guys did an awesome job. May GOD bless.
thanks Robert.
The ZZ Mark mystery deepens!!
Those are logs one would cut on a horizontal band saw that makes slabs.
true if we had a band mill.
Nice sawing
thanks Graham.
Happy birthday Brother! Enjoy your last year in your 50’s ! 🎉❤😂
Thanks Joe hope to talk to you this weekend!

Still great workgood job😊
That was a near miracle that you got that much useable lumber out of those nasty-a** logs! A master at work...

I am looking forward to seeing u'all at the show. I never used or sawed any elm.

Thanks for sharing
ELM?? Very rare in NW WIS. God job on the BOOMS and U-G-L-Y logs!💯💯😎😎👍👍
thank you.
Thanks for an interesting challenge.
your welcome , glad you liked it.
East central Illinois checking in.
thanks for watching Joel.
The best looking piece of wood I ever worked with was curly red elm.
I never seen a curly red elm.
@ 4:28 man the Gnome bros has such a clean area wow
Live edge double boom! No milling around!
I understand what Eddie was meaning Mark "just keep cutting 2" live edge slabs don't flip it or anything no squared up edge's just keep cutting 2" live edge slabs" but that's just me that's what i understood Eddie was meaning....
he knows we cant do that.
Sage, Arkansas checking in.
Hello David!
Elm can be weird but it is beautiful and tough!
yes for sure , How is Mr.Crosby doing.
Your head and back of the shirt really show the laser!
like a movie screen lol.
Hello from Muncie Indiana
Hello John.
Nice job guys ty ❤😊
thanks Richard.
Go Team!
Nice pitch on victim #2.
Still great work
All in all it has a nice grain pattern
it sure does.
The big 56” metal detector will always find it…🤣🤣😂😂😆😁
I find a lot of fence wire in the logs I cut.
it sure will.
They say even a turd shines when it wet. Lol Nice log cutting. 👍
thanks James.
@@markgalicic7788 My pleasure. You guys are blessed. Good friends doing what makes you guys happy, making money, and utilizing nature's resources.! 👍
I still can't believe you were able to get any good wood out of those logs. When you sere sawing the last one, we could see the bottom dog in action coming upward.
Bill
thanks Bill , yes it was a good view of the dogs.
Southeastern Pennsylvania here.
Hello Curt.
We need the BE WHERE OF THE DOG SIGN PUT BACK or at least i would like to see it bach nice vid of sawinglike watching for me its some thing i have never done but enjoy watching the hole process you need to show some of the mettle findings Cheers
we sure will , glad you liked the video.
@@markgalicic7788 guys I enjoy all your videos there well done makes easy watching Cheers
I have so many swamp elms they don’t even make good firewood, I leave them for the woodpeckers 😂
good choice lol.
Starting to get hot down in S.C.😎
send some heat up here!
These logs look like good candidates for chainsaw milling, especially if the customer wants live edge slabs.
like firewood lol.
You have not sawed such poor shape logs in a long time. I am sure it was not worth your time but sometimes you make a sacrifice for a friend. I am glad that you were up for the challenge. At least you got a girl (in the background I think) on your video this time. Good to see you and Eddie.
thanks Alan , I liked your last video.
@@markgalicic7788 Thanks!!! I was excited to get my first deer cam shots at the new address.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
Complete newbie to milling with maybe a dumb question - how do you find buyers for large lots of lumber?
hi there you made some nice lumber out of those ugly logs john
a little scary at times with those logs.looks a little stained,mabe bar tops or tables? good job sawing
I decked a trailer with a recently dead elm. That deck lasted well.
yes it's great decking & stall boards.
@Mark Galici , what is the name of the generator/power supply you have used at the saw mill, showing it in past videos?
Does your metal detector pick up on non ferrous metals like lead? We never worried about lead because it's soft enough to not hurt the blades. We got a decent amount of trees with lead in them and sawed them. We only sawed pine trees.
no it's set to find ferrous metals but I never tested it out with lead.
Are you going to do a live friom the steam show this Saturday, would love to see it but to drive from Nebraska would be a little extreme. Thanks for all of your videos!
thank you , we will film a video at the steam show.
Love a good challenge.. 🥴
A person has to be pretty hardup for lumber to that kind of crap in.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good are the operators, the bad and ugly are the logs.
thanks Richard.
Heres hoping ZZ can get out early on good behavior to be able to make the show! 😊
we hope he can make it.
Those seem a bit short guys, well accepted the first one, it was pretty decent, wats the story?
The board with the pith is called the dog board, right?
56 inch metal detector!
Hi Mark. I have a couple of Australian number plates or license plates as you call them i want to send to you for your wall. Where do I send them to? Love your vids by the way.
I think he thought you were going to slab through it without having to turn the log.
no we told him that's unsafe on this mill.
Sometimes you have to eat your sawdust and make the best of the situation at hand.
true.
I miss seeing ZZ Mark
he will be back soon.
I'd call those LEPROSY Logs.
That number two log was a mean and nasty son um a gun.
yes it was but fun to saw.
1:23 is that the Mrs. from Riggins Ranch'' youtube channel?
....................................................👍
Sometimes it’s Better to say ni!
yes it is.
Debarking the hard way. Yeesh.
That's some NARLY WOOD! 😲🧐. Not even,,, pellet grade wood . O well. 🤕💰💰💰💰👍💯😁
yes for sure.
any dogs up dogs down plus booms for the kids today
yes for sure.
Mark: "This is Monday and we're filming the Friday night video"...we're going to release it on Thursday, as you can tell the days of the week have absolutely no meaning to us, everything is up for Mill-Speak interpretation. Is that RENS metal detector, part of their *Ren & Stimpy product line? *Ren & Stimpy 91-93' Adult Swim cartoon characters. You must have got the deluxe RENS model, the one that comes with a custom 'Hank' detector caddy.
Pretty sure he said Friday eve.
@@ronmccabe7164 Oh he said Friday twilight, WHO CARES!!! The over riding point is Friday, video'd on Monday, released on Thursday. Pick anytime of day, ya nit-picker. Nit-picking is my job.
good one Rich lol!
The customer asks for through-and-through sawn 2" boards, so you turn it into cants and give them 7" boards??? You wasted the best part of that first log. And the second log would have looked fantastic with the crotch flat and at least four good boards, but again, you turned it into rubbish.
Sorry, buy Eddie was right to call you out on that.
you have no idea what the customer said to me when he brought these logs , he wanted both live edge and edged boards so he could glue them up for a table top , it's people like you that make UA-cam a toxic place!
Some of that grain looked good. But those were some ugly logs that you had to work with. You are a pro. "What are we doin; here? Making fun content even when the logs aren't great....or maybe because they aren't great.😉
thank you , great comment!
You guys must be bored
21:05 You can't hide the WTF in your voice haha
I like it Dave lol!
The slippery elm has nice grain . Ugly logs .
it did David.
