I haul cut RR ties into a treatment plant here on the west coast. Bundled units get set on little trolley cars on a long track. 60ft of bundles and trolley get wheeled into a huge autoclave. They close the huge doglock door, and pull a vacuum on the chamber, with the wood inside. This pulls the wood fiber apart slightly, With the vacuum being held, they flood the chamber with creosote chemicals. Once full, they then apply pressure to the autoclave, to force the chemicals deeper into the wood fiber. The pressure is held for about 30 min. The exact same procedure for pressure treated plywood and such, just different chemicals. The stinky aroma at the RR Tie Plant is overwhelming. Sickly tar smell.
😀No doubt, you are the MASTER of that saw mill, it is a pleasure watching your attention to detail with every movement of the saw. Thanks for sharing your videos.💥👍
I've watched you vlogs for some time now, and I love watching the old equipment working so well and efficient ! I realize that operating your controls requires a good eye coordination with the stick! Thanks for work, I'm watching from east central Alberta, Canada
Greetings!! I appreciate that you’re watching all the way from Canada! I’ve had people comment before, not realizing zero computer tech is involved. But yes, there is a lot of operating synchronization!
Seeing these [ties] cut reminds me of when I lived in Pennsylvania up the street from a plant that creosoted railroad ties. It was a special treat when the wind blew towards my home.
I can see the laser lights that show you where the edger blades will hit the log. Is there another laser that shows where the main saw blade is going to hit the log? Thanks.
Yes there is a head saw light!! However I’ll mention, all of my lasers are just for reference! The thing about lasers being mounted in an old mill building, they’re always shifting
Yes lots of grade lumber!!! Refer to some of my older videos!! You’ll see a bunch of Grade lumber throughout the channel. We’re getting ready to go into some Maple!
I like watching your videos because they're so calming and satisfying. But the double view in this one makes me nervous. It's hard to focus on two things at once, and I don't want to look at multiple things at the same time. Also, you only focus the camera on the saw. It would be great to see the results of your work, like watching the freshly cut square lumber on the conveyor belt. That would be way more satisfying to watch. Mark galicic's channel is great, you can see the saw and the results of the cut.
😕 😕???? Why do you need to focus on 2 things at once? One view is sawing. The other view is turning the log. Those 2 things happen separately not concurrently.

Hey man I don’t mean to be rude or anything buddy I saw cants all day everyday at a very efficient pallet mill. I know the end game is a RR Tie. But a lot of those cants your ripping off the sides of the log a large % are unusable I know you want maximum yield a 8” wide cant with rounded edges all over it a pallet producer is going to through out most of that cant that should of been cut to 6 “ wide or even 5” I wouldn’t want to see you lose a customer because they are paying top dollar and only half the material is usable. I love all your videos like I’ve stated before. Keep the sawdust flying
@@Helmsburgsawmill Regardless how they are processed a large portion of some of those cants not all of them are completely unusable Ok thanks for the explanation Have a good day today
He is learning you know how that is i sawed a few years my self but we’re making 2x4s and 2x6s and bigger you have to learn the best way for you and it’s not all ways the way others do it but he does okay job for a green horn the first thing you need to learn is that you are not as smart as you think you are when you are younger but in time he will get there 😂😂😂God Bless Y’all and have a blessed weekend and keep it running
@@geneporter4849 they’re cants?…. Wane is very acceptable. I’ve seen the manufacturing process. As a matter of fact, logged our buyer’s property. If I wasn’t sawing them like this, it would be footage down the drain.
The views are logically reversed. From this side of the saw, the loader is on the left. And the boards should be going off to the right. Would more match what you see and how it is. Thanks for the double view. Please continue them.

Thank you for posting this! I pinned it:)
Wow, that chainsaw is a monster! 👍
The second camera view is great,thanks for the shake look on the log,thanks for the video keep them coming
Thanks for becoming a member Jim!!
Thank you for sharing
Good sawing, I'm really enjoying the new dual vision 👍
My next video will be a different dual view!!
😀No doubt, you are the MASTER of that saw mill, it is a pleasure watching your attention to detail with every movement of the saw. Thanks for sharing your videos.💥👍
Thank you buddy!! It takes a ton of focus! I plan on making many more videos:)
Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉
I do for a long time:)
I enjoyed the second camera views. Great work from a skilled sawyer at a top notch mill.
I appreciate that buddy!:) I plan on putting in other work angles coming up
Hey Ian, like the two cameras, you’ve come along way since you started making videos. 3:56
I appreciate that sir!!:) I’m still a young channel:) I’m trying to upgrade quickly

Great video. I like to watch the repair and maintenance parts also. Sent link to a FB friend.
I appreciate that sir:) I’d like to have 100,000 subscribers one day.
My father-in-law Steve ( RR worker )
always liked birch wood.
This is Beech. But I like birch too!!

🤢
Thank you Eugene
You’re welcome sir! A different dual view is coming next! Share my videos!
Great video. Get those loads on trucks and get paid. Keep em coming. Thanks
We’ll be going into some hard maple after this, so I may get some ties. But we’ll see! Hopefully it grades out too well to make into ties
Nice PIP view. Were you all affected by the heavy rain. Hope you all are well.
There were some power outages and trees that blew over. But nothing like what they got down south!
The angle on the small view would be perfect on the saw. I can see the whole lumber, and the quality and lightning of the video is perfect.
Get this newer view out there for me please:)
I plan on using it many different ways soon!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I've graded a lot of beech ,the company I worked for had a Mexican customer who bought all grades.
For what use?
I can see the laser lights that show you where the edger blades will hit the log. Is there another laser that shows where the main saw blade is going to hit the log? Thanks.
Yes there is a head saw light!! However I’ll mention, all of my lasers are just for reference! The thing about lasers being mounted in an old mill building, they’re always shifting
Hey Ian. Is Beech the preferred species for Railroad Ties ?
Oak is the preferred!
Do all ties pay the same regardless of species?
Oak ties pay the most!
do you saw grade lumber? if so i would like to watch how you doit.
Yes lots of grade lumber!!! Refer to some of my older videos!! You’ll see a bunch of Grade lumber throughout the channel. We’re getting ready to go into some Maple!
Ian, I'm going crosseyed watching two screens, and yes cutting cants off of the face cut doesn't seem logical.

I understand!! I don’t plan on using it every time! It’s just another implementation for me to try:)
The next videos will just be the original view!

That’s not how these cants are ripped down. They’re run through a re saw stood up and ripped down into 3 1/2 wide slats

I have something in mind for the next video!!
