Just think about it the lumber was once sawn like this. Love seeing someone who is keeping the old ways alive to show how it was done by earlier generations. Keep up the good work.
Hey David, haven't heard from you in a while . I heard Mark say a while back that you weren't doing so good . I'm just checking in on you how are you doing?
Whoa. I'm glad I stumbled upon this site. In most offerings of videos in milling operations, it's usually done milling perfect logs on machines that operate without flaws, which makes them pretty boring. Nice to watch, but at the same time still boring, if one likes to watch "creative problem solving" or efficiency of work under difficult circumstances (such as one man working in what's usually a two-man job. This is a lot like my favorite site, fricknjeep.
Good guess but it's the flat gear meeting the round gear for the carriage drive . My carriage is ran off from a 35 ft flat gear/rack gear that is welded to the bottom of the whole length of the carriage. The gears are a little noisy but keeps you awake .😁 I have a pulley and cable drive setup I'm eventually going to put on .🇺🇲💪
You have a lumberman's build, seem plenty strong so making this work shouldn't stop you. Prices of wood unless its your own timber could sure set a man in the hole quick enough though. I did this for a while back in the sixties and seventies but went into mechanicing for serious later. I think I would find what is causing your racket on the carriage and see if it could be fixed as that metal on metal ain't so good. I also would cut lumber standard instead of just rough cut, it always sells best as you are working hemlock it looks like for these old eyes.... people can use it to build with an it will save them money from the box stores. I say that for one other reason...saw curf eats a lot of wood and its a touch smaller giving you a few more cuts out of a log. I prefer wood from a circle saw mill. I am just guessing cause this is a first time seeing you on here... you must be east coast where timber is readily available. I never seen much of that coastline, as I live in alaska and been retired now for about fifteen years. We do have some timber like that in central alaska, the southeast is covered with nice wood, cost to get makes it not worth the time to cut it. I gave you the like and did subscribe, figuring your a new one on the tube thing.... wishing you the best.. make sure that you take good care of the equipment and then breakdowns are fewer and farther apart
@@joefowler2499 That's funny to this day I'm still working with the same thing. Having a hard time seeing which one I'm working with great idea.👍 thanks for watching
Amazing when you consider the towns and farms that were built just this way. I think getting older I'd want a block & tackle to help move the logs.
WHOA !! Talk about putting your clock back 100 yrs !!

From what I could see on the video it looks like Dad's old American friction mill the way he pushes the stick good job love it
Yes it is an American # 1 friction Mill
You really need a helper! Great job on this antique,
Great work video 👍👍💪💪
Garry, Good looking lumber Sir. Dave
hi there that old saw cuts real nice john.
Thanks John, That 12 ft white pine had a lot of tension in it a few of my boards turned into bananas later on that day 😁
Good job!!! Mill sawing just fine!!!
Thanks 👍
Looks Like a Lot of Fun!

Hadir nyimak🙏🏼👍
Wow! Highly labor intensive especially for one guy. Take caution my friend. Work smarter not harder.
Sawing lumber every day on an old 1909 sawmill definitely is not for the lazy. Thanks for watching 🇺🇸💪
one man makes it kinda slow,,but beautiful work for sure!!
you are hereing.the cable on steel wheel on the far end that makes it.go.froward and back.from bedford va
No cables on this Mill it has a rack gear on the bottom of the carriage that runs off drive gears by the husk.thanks for watching
Lanjutkan bos
great job
Thanks 🇺🇸💪
👍👍👍
I wouldf hate to have to saw that one by hand.

Sounds like the carriage got a bearing going bad

what could possibly go wrong?
Take an ingraving tool and go over your numbers on your set work
