This brings back memories ! I can smell the fir from memory! My dad worked in a similar mill in Vancouver Canada for decades remember going to work with him as a kid. Headings like this are LOUD amazing they go from logs like this to dimensional lumber so fast .
As a Faller of over 30 years experience in the Western United States and Pacific Northwest and Coastal British Columbia....I have always loved going to the mill to see how they process the logs we fall for lumber and other things....paper or pulp mills, composite mills , etc. but my favorite is just plain old lumber mills like this where they are making board feet of all size slabs. Some of those first cants would make gorgeous live edge like counter tops or breakfast bar tops or bar tops....
You know I love seeing this stuff. A bunch of people make a fuss about east coast west coast. Blah blah. I’m on the east coast and the wood is hard. You’re on the west coast and it’s soft. Our trees aren’t massive trees. Your trees are huge. But from what I have seen the ppl that run the mills and log woods are exactly the same. Good ole boys gettin the job done and trying to have fun while doing it.
Hard work. Not great pay either. Worked in a Plywood plant in Montana for about 13 years 86 to late 90s. Straight out of high school. Green chain. Physically demanding work. Over time I developed carpal tunnel add rotary cuff issues. No bullshit either. Your worked or you went down the road. Not like people now hanging out & on their phones all day.
I feel you brother! Worked at the mill in Livingston Montana, on the greenchain, resaw, skrag deck and outside cleanup. Every day is a real ball buster!
Amazing! Watching the whole sawmill process is fascinating. The technique used to cut the logs is top-tier. I learned something new today about sawmilling. Excited for more sawmill-related content. Keep up the great work!
Wow, that's a big headrig carriage. I was a millwright in a couple of sawmills, but they were stud mills, and 9 foot was the longest we cut. Pretty impressive.
Ich habe viele Jahre im Sägewerk gearbeitet !!!! Es war die schönste Zeit meines Lebens, auch wenn die Arbeit gefährlich und hart war !!!

Thank you so much for that video I've never seen it done like that in a large scale it's pretty interesting I watched the whole video so thank you Happy Thanksgiving
The wood looks so smooth! My house has solid wood paneling instead of drywall. There are diagonal marks running across each board. Some are very rough with lots of tear out. Does anyone know why? Maybe the mill was using a circular blade?
The guy in the black shirt is the tail-sawyer. I did that job at a mill in Thompson Falls Montana in the 70s. Tough dangerous job with a double cut saw when you have a slab falling on each pass of the carriage. Even so it was a great adventure!!
Why is he trying to catch the big cut pieces? It's not like he's gonna be able to lift them or literally do anything at all. That's an accident waiting to happen. The bastard is trying to lose his fingers or break them!
I think this log and a few other sixty footers and a couple of forty footers have been sitting on the ground for a long time. The cambium layer on the log looks old and dry and the wood fibre show drying also
I worked in a mill in Northern Calif. when I was younger , it was hard work but I enjoyed it. I would say that this mill specializes in long beams and dimension lumber like rafters.
I am sitting in a coffee shop in an old machine shop building from about 1910 with a 12x18 doug fir beam spanning the 30+ft ceiling and supporting the 20 ft ceiling joists on either side. I miss old school construction.
My first job out of high school was at a mill. But we bucked all the trees down to nothing bigger than 20’ On occasion we’d do special cuts up to 40’ but never ran a 60’ log. They should also run a double sided blade on the headrig so can cut on the draw back. Will double production
Looks like an old 9' Salem headrig with adjustable pressure guides and setworks? Maybe running 10" sliverback 2" toothspace, swagetooth bandsaw. Seems like all cants are running into a laser optimization guided, adjustable splined arbor, gang edger.....? Washington? Oregon?
I’m a baker in a small commercial cookie factory- we make about 5000lbs of cookies muffins brownies a day. Visitors all say the same thing “it smells amazing in here” -- sadly the smell just ends up smelling like work after a while
@@drpoopenstein9080 they say if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life. But I hear what your saying. I worked in an a rent a center in collections and for a year and a half avatar was playing on every TV in the building. I now get irate everytime the movie is mentioned.
Ja das ist wahr !!!Ich habe die längste Arbeitszeit meines Lebens im Sägewerk verbracht !!! Also kann ich sagen das es dort schon einmal wirklich toll riecht !!!😅😅😅😅😅
Guy next to the mill is an 'off-bearer' (in the Pacific Northwest). Dangerous job. No hard hat, maybe no ear protection, maybe no safety glasses... even though in that job... probably didn't matter ! When the band saw comes off the wheel is the most dangerous time. In the 'latter days' of that job we provided Kevlar jackets. Off bearer job was mostly eliminated by better engineering. Air 'slab droppers' in the roll-case, punch bars on the carriage (kick the bottom out), then rotary chippers at the head rig took off the unworkable outside of the log. Brings back memories.
@@YESITSWILLThis set up moves cut lumber in one direction only. If you cut in two directions, two off-loading stations would be needed. Not saying it's not doable, it's just for this mill, one direction only.
Goddamn i thought i was hard for working in a veneer mill, this is a fckn whole other league. So many things to get fingers or clothes or anything stuck in, ripped off, smashed holy o'hell. The catch at 3:40 and 5:23 was 100% experience, someone less on their shit definitely comes out on the losing end of that exchange. Respect. Also 😂😂😂 dude with the pike pole has got to have the most boring effing job on the planet😂😂😂.
From 1992 to 2016 i worked cutting and erecting morticed and tenoned timber frames. Went through a lot of west coast fir, the biggest timber i remember working on was 10 by16 inches 35 feet long. I imagine it came out of a log like this.
I worked in sawmills my whole life without earplugs efc. For the simple reason that I wanted to hear everything around me. In case a bandsaw would break, a chipper knife was loose or dull etc. being a millwright and saw filer, it was to my advantage to catch things before they happened. Saved my life over the years and could tell you many stories about workers who missed a lot of mishaps because they were wearing plugs. I’m 78 years old today and my hearing is still just fine. Thank you very much!!
I had to fell many of these when i was a firefighter in the US Forest service. One was hit by lightning on Mt Graham Arizona. It took a whole tank of gas to make a face cut n do the back cut... i always wondered what wiuld become of trees like that...
That bit of inattention at about 5:17 is how you can get seriously hurt around the head rig. He should have seen that slab was going to be heavy because of the curvature at the butt of the log. Not being critical of the worker, just an observation of how doing something over and over can cause attention to slip.
I had no idea anyone milled logs that long. That slab at the end must weigh 5 tons. The guy grabbing them with his hands is a for real badass. When he first started he probably weighed 100 pounds. Seriously though this is one hell of an operation. Next time I need 60 foot 5 ton slabs of douglas fir you guys are my number one and only.

I’ld hate to be pulling those timbers off the green chain! 4x12x24 was the longest I pulled in the 70’s. When they had a translucent look to them, you knew they were fkn HEAVY!😮
Depends on several factors. In an undisturbed old growth forest, yes, at least a couple hundred years. As a seedling planted in a clear cut area and well tended by regular thinning a Doug could get this size in maybe 90 years, but they don't let that happen. They'll take down trees of 50 to 60 years (again, depending on various factors) simply to get standardized product through the mill. Relatively few big old growth trees like this are taken down anymore; most of the groves with the biggest specimens are now either in such inaccessible terrain or are protected or both. What gets harvested nowadays is 2nd, 3rd and in many places even 4th growth timber. The quality of the lumber from these trees is quite inferior to that of the old ones but they are now lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry clementine...
@@theo9845 this is just a somewhat educated guess but if the lumber has dense grains (growth rings) and fewer knots then it is the highest quality grade and if you go buy this you will be paying bank for it, since it is so scarce and sought after. The lower grade fir is used for general purpose stuff. Fence posts, cheap construction, Texas A & M bonfires, etc. This wood is not being used to make stradivarius violins...
In an old growth forest, it could produce 4×4 material that has 200 years of growth rings corner to corner, or like the trees grown from seed in the UK, there are trees planted by people in the late 1750s, when explorers sent plants and seed back to England. There are 200 foot tall trees in England that are just over 200 years old, growing an average of over a foot a year. They can grow very fast in certain conditions, or live a long slow life.
I don't understand why such a big log is being milled. Wouldn't handling 10' to 16' trunks and boards be much more efficient? Is there a demand for 60' boards?
Come on guys. I know you enjoy a good joke. But saw dust is not healthy for your lungs. I know it's a natural product but nonetheless it's bad for your lungs.
What is that a 5 knee carriage? That’s got to be 120 foot of rails at least. Great video. I would hate to be the guy next to the blade should it ever frag out….
What a beautiful log. Worked in a sawmill when I was younger but never had anything near this big.
That’s what she said 😂

From Miss Donna Marie Baff (Don's)
Thank you for the content
I truly love wood and it never dates.
Once again splendid content
Thank you
The knotting on the inside was beautiful!
I believe Hull Oakes lumber mill out at Dawson Oregon cut one's like that.
Awsom in Hilt California i saw bigger diameter logs milled Thank You it brought back good memories .
The Siskiyou’s had a lot of big timber when you were at YHS.
I worked at a lumber mill when I was 19 years old as a piler. Nothing like it in the world, it’s up there with the rough necks in my opinion.
Amazing Work by Hard Working Guys !!! ..
Thank you so much for that video I've never seen it done like that in a large scale it's pretty interesting I watched the whole video so thank you Happy Thanksgiving
The mill I used to work at had a double sided blade on the head rig and a slabber. This video brings back memories.
Muy buen video y útil espero que hagas más videos para que todos los vean!!
The wood looks so smooth!
My house has solid wood paneling instead of drywall. There are diagonal marks running across each board. Some are very rough with lots of tear out. Does anyone know why? Maybe the mill was using a circular blade?
They are called saw tracks and are much sought after in a lot of decorative applications.
I’d love to be there and smell that fresh cut wood! What an amazing video.
Absolutely beautiful piece of wood. I know that it's going to fetch a good penny😊
This log is giving me a woodie! So satisfying!!! 🤣
The guy in the black shirt is the tail-sawyer. I did that job at a mill in Thompson Falls Montana in the 70s. Tough dangerous job with a double cut saw when you have a slab falling on each pass of the carriage. Even so it was a great adventure!!
I can't believe they still let humans get that close to the saw blade. Very dangerous job.
Why is he trying to catch the big cut pieces? It's not like he's gonna be able to lift them or literally do anything at all. That's an accident waiting to happen. The bastard is trying to lose his fingers or break them!
Was that a champion mill ? I had 12 year's at the Bonner Plywood plant .
Still safer than being a mother. Clownass men feeling hard about doing “dangerous jobs”
Turning down.
WHOA AWESOME THANKS FOR SHARING. YOU KEEPING SOME RIGHT ....🤔
I think this log and a few other sixty footers and a couple of forty footers have been sitting on the ground for a long time. The cambium layer on the log looks old and dry and the wood fibre show drying also
That’s huge head rig reminds me of when I was at Hull Oaks Lumber company
Beautiful lumber but is there a market for 60’ beams? Maybe a big log cabin?
I had no idea that they made lumber mills this badass... that thing is nuts. Good work, men.
There are mills and saws a lot bigger than this one although this one is pretty big.
@@johnnyholland8765 Really impressive to see a tree that size just move back and forth with apparent ease.

Wish we could get some of that nice wood in Florida. What a log...
I worked in a mill in Northern Calif. when I was younger , it was hard work but I enjoyed it. I would say that this mill specializes in long beams and dimension lumber like rafters.
I see several tables made from the off cuts. That was a terrific tree. Now terrific lumber.
Lots of questions lol .
At the beginning are they smoothing some of the rough spots ?
I really would like to see the rest of the process

loved watchin where my favorite framing lumber comes from
That final core beam about 1x1.5x50 feet they get out of it... what would that be used for and how much would it cost?
Good job 👍
Is this gonna be common dimensional lumber or exposed roof beams like a church? Amazing pieces
What is this one going to be used for, or will it be cut down for other purposes?
Toothpicks?

For sure less than 10!
Sawmill guys did'nt get hurt much, but but you could always tell a planer operator by their missing fingers.

What’s the name of the sawmill if I’m interested in buying some wood?
Gotta love the attention to safety!
What mill is this?

Not being critical of the worker, just an observation of how doing something over and over can cause attention to slip.
There must be a need for such long beams for the restoration of old buildings like castles or cathedrals.
Is that a gang edger?

@joshuapaisley7289 believe it or not I've seen that.
The planking on the Wawona, a cod fisher/lumber ship built in the PNW were boards typically 120 feet long. VG fir. Mostly clear. 4 inches thick.
@@jonmurraymurray5512 5:21 He was sweating bullets on that thick short piece.

13:18 The last piece looked nice
Trying to figure out how u got 60 ft to town?
Uber.
That made a nice size cant. Must be a Canadian mill, Firs that size are pretty rare in the PNW.
Mill is in Oregon.

I milled a Doug Fir wider than this with a chainsaw and an Alaskan Mill a few years back. Makes very nice beams and boards.

How thick are those cuts?
Oh I can smell it now!😊
Strangely fascinating
Where is this sawmill?
I was in a saw mill. When the blade is snapping, it collapses into a basketball size. So dangerous…
Where would boards this large be used?
Made into 6x6 posts is my guess.
What blade are they using?
Probably 52' long X 15" wide X .109" thick. Single cut.
It must have been interesting to see that come down the road to the mill.
I’ld hate to be pulling those timbers off the green chain!
