Thank you,Ms. Karen. We are ready now to saw a big order of Oak Decking Boards for a contractor's heavy equipment trailer. Hopefully that will be next weeks show. I really appreciate you watching and commenting
The live roller is a big improvement and your control on the travel of the carriage is getting a lot better, you didn't say if you got the valve pressure fixed but your control is the game changer that I see
Mr. Doug, I spoke to D&D Sawmill Services today, and we are expecting to clarify that he has the correct pump tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be shipped this week, and I'll swap it out maybe this weekend. I appreciate you noticing the roller and sawing. Thanks for watching and commenting
Speed comes with experience the speed doesn’t come from how hard to you the saw. The speed comes from how well you operate the log turner and the log deck You actually get more done by being smooth on the controls and those joysticks just being an extension of your body. Your doing a great job my friend
Great improvements all. when you get good logs you are really sawmilling and you have improved greatly I have fallen and broke my femur and hope to be walking again in a couple of months in the meantime I will be watching your videos
Dang! Sorry to hear that. I broke my ankle really bad about 25 yrs ago, so l can relate with ya on how miserable just sitting for 8 weeks is. Take care. Thanks for watching and commenting
This is something to think about! "Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny."
There is always someone who has been in a similar situation who has a good "fix" and who is willing to pass it on. More often as not all you got to do is ask. As always safety first. It never pays to get in a hurry.
Mike McCoy and others do not need two off-bearers to keep up. A way to pivot the cut stock coming off the saw (recall seeing a post with a roller on top in other mill operations) that is a fulcrum, seems would fit well now that the edger is gone. Maybe more room than necessary there now. Thinking Andruw's sawing operation for the space to stack cut stock. Good to see you did power up that roller coming after the belt, helping move the cuts from the saw blade. And a pinched saw from an off cut needs to be shut down much, much quicker that here at 11:14. Keep up the good improvements.
Deernt00, I figured somebody that has been with me since the beginning would notice the roller powered up. I appreciate and thanks for watching and commenting
What an interesting video! Glad to see progress as always :) I like the new profile pic. I think you did a good job with all your improvements! They will help a lot I think:)
I think the changes you made make the process better and safer. I previously thought you advanced the log too fast. It is best if the operation runs smooth for all crew members, Safer too. Terry
I appreciate it, Terry. I think we are headed in the right direction. If we don't get rained out, we should be sawing again tomorrow evening and will get that video uploaded for Sunday morning. Thanks for watching and commenting
I have a comment or two. Even though I am not a sawmill operator, I am a armchair, sawmill operator with a lot of experience. My first suggestion is a laser somewhere to help you with your cut off’s. The second is, does your sawmill allow you to put a taper on some of the logs so that you’re not wasting a lot of wood with your cut off’s. That’s it for now. Stay safe God bless.✌️🇨🇦
Mr. Doug, I'd like to get a laser sometime, like after I get a shed built. A laser would be helpful as would taper attachments. Far as I can speculate studying on the carriage knees, I do believe it at one time had tapers, but they have been removed. When they were removed, I don't know. By the way, much respect for "arm chair sawmillers" I enjoy watching all the top mills here on youtube myself. Thanks for watching and commenting
Just as an after thought on my part, maybe you all could get together before you start cutting and talk about what you want to do and get their input on ways to get it done quickly, safely and done on time.
please remind your helper with the blue overalls not to get so close to rotating equipment. if the roller caught his clothes it would have pulled him in.
@@templehillsawmill1748 just thought i would mention it, because a friend of mine almost lost 3 fingers on a Timberking 1220. he was rotating the log without waiting for the blade to spin down. the blade caught his glove and pulled him in. luckily for him me and my dad were in a different room welding a mobile home trailer frame and he took him to the hospital at 100 mph. it's just a reminder that safety rules and regulations are written in blood. also slips, trips and falls are a thing. try to keep a broom on hand to get rid of built up sawdust. I'd hate to hear that someone slip on sawdust and fell into that blade.
My comment is in no way meant to be disrepectful!!! Please don't block me. In my very early life ('50's-'60's), I worked at a professionally operated sawmill for 9 years. You're receiving constructive comments from UA-cam operators, people not in the business of making a living sawing lumber daily. Most of their mills are not set up correctly, professionally for high volumn cutting....just a hobby "because I can use this to make extra money on UA-cam!" Work your mill like 'your survival' depended on how much high quality lumber you can produce daily. Move your edger back into it's proper location and 'belt it up' to your exsisting power unit (you have the HP, no use in not using it). The off bearer, the job I had, can handle the slabs/lumber off the big saw with ease while operating the edger. It's easy to learn how to do. The other person catching the edger's lumber and the big saw's lumber has to learn how to "hurry up", stack the lumber and turn to grab the next board because there is one waiting on him (if everything is set up properly, one person can stack all pieces of lumber/beams by himself)! The same speed applies to the edger operator because another piece of lumber is waiting on him. These guys MUST stay in their "station's footprint" for everything to work correctly (don't be standing together 'socializing' after all this is a work environment). An improvement to the roller bed (power it up?) is what's needed to keep these guys efficient. If the two guys can't handle the pace, then up grade to better talent or slow your sawing to a more steady pace. If your intent is to "hobby saw" then carry on. But your operation is spread out all over the place, not efficient for your helpers! Additionally I noticed that you turn a log much too quickly. Learn the math of where the first cut should happen and make the cut, then another cut. Don't wear a log out turning it TOO MANY TIMES. I love watching these circle mills, especially the ones that are there to make a living and know what they're doing. Thanks for the video, I'll certainly continue being a viewer!
Mr. Arkansas, I appreciate the nice comment. You've said a lot to consider. I'm sure at some point I will replace the edger back to its place. For now, I feel like it will be best not to be there. It's kinda funny noticing how I turn logs, because sometimes I wonder why I did after I just turned it. Sure enough, sometimes I turn it because I can't remember the width. There is a lot happening, a lot to plan ahead, and a lot to remember. All happening so fast knowing how much fuel, electricity, and wages you are spending and worrying if what you are sawing is good enough to replace all the costs. I appreciate you sharing, watching, and commenting
Good changes. 😊

That is great that you take heed of the advice given. It’s a strong person and a good hearted person that will take help without being bitter.

Yes, sir Robert, experience is priceless. Thanks for watching and commenting
hi there really got one stuck , looking good . best to all john
Yes it was, I appreciate the comment
Just a little tip. The next time you have a piece of wood wedge like that. Grab the wood and turn the saw up. It should turn right out.
Mike McCoy and others do not need two off-bearers to keep up.
