Mark, it is just amazing to look at this vid from four years ago, and then watch one from today (end of 2023)...the improvements you guys have made to the mill site are just a thing of beauty to see happen. Good job!
I could watch that all night, i wish i had more time in my life to get into a sawmill to compliment my shop. I have logged and built wood projects of all sizes and shapes but never was able to learn sawmilling, i have always been fascinated by all the specialty trades at a sawmill, maybe in the next life haha..
Man beautiful oak log sawn into some mighty fine slabs. Lovely wood. My compliments to the sawyer. That little 6-71 was singin' quite a song and she just bellows when the load hits it as if to say "hey now this is fun!" That was a fun vid to watch. Keep up the good work guys.
I miss working with my grandpa and his sawmill. We harvested the trees on his cattle farm in central Minnesota during the winter. Stacked to logs up to wait until summer. When we kicked the cattle out to summer pasture we could get to his mill which was in the winter pasture by the buildings and barn. Would cut a couple logs up each weekend, stacked the lumber in the winter loafing shed to dry until fall. In fall he would move the lumber into winter storage or sell it. One summer we built a whole addition to the house using white oak from the previous summer. All the slabs got burned in the boiler to heat the house in the winter.
we have a old Crosby two saw edger that sits next to the mill and we edge after we saw because of no extra help . I ran a meadows #1 handset mill before we got this edmiston mill.
That vid was so much fun I watched it twice. Back in the old days I worked on a drilling rig in Alberta powered by two 6-71 screamin' jimmies. Running pipe out of the hole one night and one of the mufflers fell off. They probably heard our rig 50 miles away. Now you can hardly hear the engines on a lot of machinery. Cheers.
Mark, Its been years ago, but I still remember a mill that a friend of the family, Ernest Duty, had a mill similar to this one you have, I also remember that he filed and set his own teeth on a seven foot Disson circle saw blades The teeth was replaceable, and suaged set. He had seven workers, five of them were family members of his, and he ran five days a week, cutting timber for several coal operators, and also took the bark slabs, and running them thru a chipper, and selling them to a press board maker. Nothing went to waste. Not even the sawdust, where he sold the dust to a compounder, who turned it into mulch and compost. He also sawed firewood slabs, and sold them to many people for home heating. Keep up the great work, and I sure hope you make more of these vids. So interesting to see a circle sawmill running in todays times of the portable band sawmills fame.
Can't believe how nice you are to people who openly insult you. It's interesting how your measured responses will often disarm them. Love watching your sawmill operate, thanks!
thanks Randy , sometime we have to think of how to say something positive just to wake people up , "some men you just cant reach" cool hand Luke . hope you watch more of our videos.
Really nice bush mill. When you are cutting nice wood like that... better to take your time and make accurate cuts. That was a big money log. Great looking slabs... clear, straight, long and great grain. Enjoyed the video. Thx for posting.
What a great video. I live in the lower Bitterroot Valley of west Montana and the bottom feeding California environmental loons have destroyed the logging industry here. They are trying to turn the area into a Hollywood elites only area. There used to be three huge mills here within a few miles of each other than ran 24/7. Had rail cars coming in empty and leaving full. So, I really enjoy videos like yours. Hope you can keep going strong.
I've worked in 3 different saw mills here in Humboldt county and we are all about production.I can say this.The wood your sawing is beautiful and I hope it's worth a fortune otherwise your not making much money with how long it takes you to saw one of those logs up
Mark: That was a religious experience watching those oak logs open up. Beautiful wood well-sawn. I just got caught up with this vid. Been enjoying watching the shed go up. I think it should be called, La Casa Eduardo. Among friends, of course.
Just catching up on this 'old' video. The sawmill has certainly come a long way since then! And what beautiful boards coming off the Red Oak Logs. Not a knot to be seen.
"some nice red oak logs"... possibly the understatement of the year! Man, that there is centerfold material! And I can only imagine the smell... ahhhhhhhh...... makes me wish I could still work in my shop, but a dose of cancer got me all stove up. Watching these videos is THE best medication I know of. As long as you're not in Kalifornia, you should have a long rewarding career. Now, git back to work!
I worked in a sawmill for 31 years on the west coast. I think you're doing just fine. Do you sell the cants random width or do you have an edger? Just curious. My, that's beautiful wood.
Bill N. Thanks for the videos. Have watched several, and enjoy them a lot. We had several walnut trees on the farm where I was born. Mom sold several of them years ago. Beautiful wood.
Beautiful stick of red oak, but at times it is difficult to see the saw cutting. Maybe its the angle or the distance. I don't know....Maybe get the camera a little closer. Nice stick though!
YES, those were MONEY boards and I sit here and grin and/or shake my head when that bus motor loads up and how SWEET it sounds. MERCY! And you don't have to be 'productive' when you're getting the lumber sized to what you want and need and having fun doing it. And the saw WAS sharp no doubt when it'll slip through oak like that. And if it wasn't running everywhere a doodling chain setup would run the dust, no problem BUT the slick line would help. Than ks, Mark and Eddie! A-PLUS! Cabinet wood if'n I ever saw it!
As I watch the device that rotates the log in the cradle, I'm thinking that (1) needs to get the grease/dirt off of it and (2) it scar's the quality wood as it rotates the log. I'm thinking at that point it's time to rotate the log by hand to protect that quality wood from scarring and grease.
Damn... George Washington was the original American badass Cutting red oak with a Detroit Diesel powered sawmill? Son, you’re the second American badass. Lewis & Clark would have fetched you coffee, you’re so badass Well done, sir.
Hi there ,yes a laser light would be so nice but I need a roof to block the sun out . I still miss my view of the logs on my old handset mill , this takes time to judge the cut from the cab. Thanks for watching , I keep looking for more videos from you!
How come you disnt quarter saw that toad? I woulda ripped it in half and ran through it like that. But i can see were production trumps a bunch of mismatched widths.
@@markgalicic7788 when we built out log home last year we had 9 red cedar trees on the property we took down. I made the porch post out of them but u have about 15 large pieces left I wanna get cut into 1x4 to line the closet of our guest house with. The guy that did the milling for me had a stroke soon after he did the work and is not able to work and sold his mill.
@@cookiesservices4552 HELLO Cookie Buddy and I have a 1st cousin that called all GM/Detroit 2-cycles bus motors because of the Greyhounds I suppose and I got it from him somehow. He was a Mack fiend but not after all this tier-4 garbage came to pass and ended up with KW's and Cummins and now KW's with a PACCAR setup and Allison's. I like Allisons in quarry trucks and front discharge mixers but the rest of the time, give me a STICK with LOTS of gears on the end of it. And life has gotten busy. You must be healed for it to do that so that's GOOD! You take care too and remain calm!
Yeah working seven days a week have to make bank before the next big freeze. Don’t know if I will ever get back to normal but at my age I will settle for what ever I get. Thanks for replying Lewie love to hear from you take care my friend
@@cookiesservices4552 Just remain as calm as you can. I understand you have to get it while the getting's good but don't over tax yourself. I'm geezerish and have 'X' amount of zip and it ain't much. Just be carefull, Buddy. And normal is just a setting on a dryer I think. Norma Boimbec came up with that, maybe!
back in the 80's I found a lot of the blades guessing 3 to 8 foot I didn't have a clue what to do with them then my ex mother inlaw told me to sell them at a flee market people paint them. I don't remember for sure but I think I was asking like $10 per foot like 3 foot $30 4 foot $40 and so on. never got any bites until about 3 pm just before I was about to load up and head home. when a man came up and bought everyone I had there followed me home and bought all I had at home. I made almost $10.000 that day. and he didn't even try to jew me down. so I was thinking I may have sold them to cheap. haven't found a blade since. he said he was going to rework them and sell them to sawmills.
Why don't you put a camera on a post so you can see down the log as your booth is in an awkward position? Camera and monitor would only cost a few hundred dollars. We put five cameras up on our Stenner VBQ60" Bandmill with 4 cameras on one screen and the main camera on a large screen (watch out for sunlight across the screen).
thanks for watching , yes the circular saw will always be used but the bandsaw may take over the large mills. I like the circular saw because its fast and very dependable .
It's too bad red oak is in the toilet for prices right now..been sawing red oak like that into fence boards at 7bucks a piece make more money then selling fas here
Is there anyway you can do something about your mike we have a hard time hearing and understanding you. Do you need some noise dampening around your mike it would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance Doug
any size clear wood makes good money , wide is better 12" or wider. when we grade saw you need to keep the clear side out then saw the lower grade lumber last, that's why I turn the log so many times, thanks for asking.
@@markgalicic7788 a lot of folks do not know where clear boards come from, it is good you took the time to explain. grade sawing is time consuming, but when you have logs like this, take that time, these do not happen often enough, I could have watched you cut every one of them, that is some pretty wood.

So much better when we can see the saw dust discharge.
I noticed right away when the oak sawdust stopped blowing.
Enjoyied watching!, not to shabby for a two man crew! Made some beautiful cuts!
That log was absolutely gorgeous! Man O’ Man!
thanks David.
Love to see some quarter sawing done on this beast. A lot of respect from across the pond.
Best saw on the Internet, a true home engineered marvel

That is nice red oak . Its a pleasure to work with good logs .
thanks for watching Robin , a good log is great to saw but most logs aren't this nice , maybe 1 out of 100.
Love that Detroit Diesel sound. I got some cousins that ran a similar bigger setup for 50 years.

Beautiful Red Oak! Man oh man.
It sure is!

that's a good question , not sure what its called.
Great video what do you do with all that sawdust best wishes from the UK
thanks Thomas, we sell all of the sawdust to horse farmers.
nice really nice log
thanks , Bob.
otherwise, beautiful wood, really impressive.
hi there i like your lazier line he's doing a great job lol john
Hi there ,yes a laser light would be so nice but I need a roof to block the sun out . I still miss my view of the logs on my old handset mill , this takes time to judge the cut from the cab. Thanks for watching , I keep looking for more videos from you!
nice saw rig and good power. mickey mouse blower and pipe. Should be bigger blower and 8" pipe or so to keep up with that amount of sawing.
thanks for watching David , the blower came with the mill I did change the intake to a 8" pipe and it seems to be doing ok now .
I seem to detect a problem with your saw dust system, It seems to be partially plugged or has a restriction
yes there was , this video was shot before I changed the pipe from 8" flex hose to 8" spiral pipe and this solved the problem . "good eyes"
I love the smell of fresh cut oak.
yes sir Joe me too!
What?? I like the smell of most cut wood but that red oak stinks to me 🤷♂️
Nice old monster machine. Make a good job.
thanks Lothar.

Do you call it a bus motor because of Lewie it’s a Detroit gotta love your two stroke
yes the bus motor is for good ol Lewie
Where is this sawmill located??
That old 671 is roing to day sonds fine
What happens when the log is bigger than the blade?
we do have a 56" saw that would cut any log this mill can handle , our carriage has a 36" opening.thanks for watching Steve.
Around the 8-9 minute mark I would've goon out there and turned it by hand but then that's just me, I hate to scar any wood up.
How come you disnt quarter saw that toad? I woulda ripped it in half and ran through it like that. But i can see were production trumps a bunch of mismatched widths.
thanks for watching Ryan , we only grade saw with the circle mill but may try to quarter saw on the new band mill
Why not rift cut or quarter saw logs that clear...??
If it was white oak we may quarter saw.
Mark on clear logs about the same size how many feet per hr can you cut if all goes well ?
this mill can saw at least 1000bf per hour with a crew but with Eddie & I about 400ft per hour
There's alot of drag in that flexible hose. I think it's something like 1 foot of the flexible stuff equals 5 feet of straight pipe
I have new pipe just need to hook it up.
That's nice wood. Where are you guys located.
we are in Pittsburgh PA
@@markgalicic7788 when we built out log home last year we had 9 red cedar trees on the property we took down.

Why don't you put a camera on a post so you can see down the log as your booth is in an awkward position? Camera and monitor would only cost a few hundred dollars.

good idea Andrew
I want to buy all of that lumber
its all for sale Leif , thanks for watching.
Lots of sawdust with this 5/16 inch blade. Should be used just for slabbing, then finish the cant with a band blade sawmill.
its a 9/32" kerf and bandsaws are slow and cost a lot to run and maintain . If we cut a million bf a year then maybe get a resaw system.
thanks for watching , yes the circular saw will always be used but the bandsaw may take over the large mills. I like the circular saw because its fast and very dependable .
How thick are the planks you cut?
we sawed 4/4 that is 1-1/8" thick
That log is going to give a ton of board feet
yes sir William almost 250 bf of FAS and 25 bf of #1 common out of that log and we have more logs just like it.
It's too bad red oak is in the toilet for prices right now..been sawing red oak like that into fence boards at 7bucks a piece make more money then selling fas here

hey Doug , this is a old video before I got a clip on mic . we have about 63 videos now .
Nice log.
thanks for watching Ernest , yes these logs are some of the best red oaks we got so far and more to saw .
That blade looks a bit small . What is it 36 inch or 42 inch?
that is a 52" , we do have a 56" just need to put it on the mill.
how big can you run a blade on this mill?
maybe a 60" but we do have a 56"to put on.
A few improvements. 🎅🏻👌
What size board makes the most money? Is that how you determine what your going to cut
any size clear wood makes good money , wide is better 12" or wider. when we grade saw you need to keep the clear side out then saw the lower grade lumber last, that's why I turn the log so many times, thanks for asking.
