Your approach to getting yields at its optimum is 2nd to none. Whomever you learned from must have held their own, on their own right. You and T.H.E Eddie make a mighty fine team.

Basically you don't rip off your customers. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND YOUR FAMILIA.
Those are definitely beautiful boards, Mark. I don't need to smell the pine because I was lovin' life just looking at those. Congratulations on 40K. Bill
We always called that gun barrel style. It is named after the old octagonal gun barrels. I would have sawed it about the same way, with just some minor differences. The last mill I sawed on had a vertical edger, which made it a bit more easier to clear the saw. The biggest log I sawed was a 12' tulip poplar which was 42" at the small end. You have a nice set up and I like your sawing style.
Living in the west desert of Utah, that’s a damn big pine!!! Great video! Very beautiful wood!! You guys are great! 2 good friends that have a side hustle, and have for over a quarter century. God bless you and your family’s. Keep up the great videos.
Congratulations Mark and Eddie. Hope the subs keep growing for you. I love the channel. Great honest down to earth channel and content. Love from Jack and family from Brisbane Queensland Australia.
I'm a carpenter. Your setup beats a bandsaw every day of the week. It's not more wasteful, either, but it seems that way when you first see it. It does look like your blade is leaving chatter Mark's on the lumber.
Nothing smells gooder than fresh cut pine wood! I had the opportunity to fall a huge pine at my dad's place. The tree was casting too much shade into his garden space. The smell as the saw ran through that tree was FANTASTIC! The tree at the base of the stump was 32 inches. That may not be huge in some areas, but to us in Washington state it's rare to find a pine tree, let alone a pine tree that large! Pops had dreamed of having a portable sawmill come in & mill him some fabulous pine boards to work with. Sadly he never could find a sawyer that would do it, & wound up turning that tree into firewood to heat his shop with.
Take it from an old sawyer: You sawed that big pine properly. I call it beavering. Just chew away, getting a board as you can until it is a manageable size. Great videos. Keep on.
@@garybessey2184 unless you have an 100k to give mark go strip the bark with a draw knife and you will understand... I can give you the address where the mill is
Hi Mark and Eddie Enjoy your videos and conversations. Makes me feel like you really care for your subscribers. It appears you have past experience sawing logs.
Thank you for a very interesting video. You have a good eye to foresee what needs to be done in order to get the finished product. T.H.E. Eddie has to hustle to keep up with the saw. I was happy to see He had a helper. I'm retired now but I wish I had projects that needed those beautiful boards. Be safe and well.
You have an impressive sawmill setup. My grandfather ran a huge (to a four year old) sawmill operation in Finland that received the logs via the adjacent lake. In fact I was born in the sauna on the sawmill property. Keep up the good work!!!

Good day good evening from sunny Malta Guys congratulations on your score hitting the the 40 k marker is a great achievement Signing off guys goodnight Tony
Hi guys, as I looked into your info I was surprised to see that you are in Norristown. I'm over here in the Great Swamp of Quackertown Pa. Lotta Pin oak over here. I live with my son on the Last Chance ranch and his mother in law has the room below mine. I watch your videos at 4:00 am and I'm sure she's loving the noise from that Detroit! Keep on acuttin boys and stay safe..
I love to watch when you have the big logs and how you cut them down. The first video of yours that I watched was one that you stop signed and I have been hooked on your videos ever since. Good work
You guys and fricknjeeep are becoming real celebrities! I had my mill long before UA-cam, but I recall how people would like to come and love to watch a log get turned into lumber. On my bucket list to get another one and start sawing again!
I really enjoy your videos...i don't know why but watching sawmill videos is so relaxing. I noticed on some other mills, the log turner has teeth on both sides. That way instead of turning a log 3 times to get to the side you want to cut, it can be turned only once in the other direction. Is this something you plan on doing someday? Keep the videos coming. Your channel and out of the woods are my favorite milling channels.
Fascinating technique. It looks like it requires a lot of finesse and experience to use it. Is the diameter of the log the determining factor in using this technique?
Such great work Mark and Eddie. ,, 🇨🇦 As others have said we appreciate watching you saw the logs during the pandemic. I have ancestors who are woodsman. Maybe that has something to do with it LOL
Wow, that was fun. I learned a lot today. After that log we are going to have to get out the sharpening stones. That log gave that blade all it wanted.
Nice job on that huge log! I don't understand how people can take shots at your technique! Oh well! Congratulations on 40K! Three more weeks of school, then I will be over to have THE yell at me. Take care!
Hi, this may sound like a dumb question but I just don't know and can't figure out how to ask Google. Is the heartwood (centre of the log if I'm wrong) different to the outer layers as far as structure or use or whatever? You turn the log over when you get close to the centre and I'm wondering if its better or worse wood in any way or if there's a reason why you do it like that. You may have explained it in a past video but I'd be stuck trying to find it.
Yes, it is inferior wood. John Clark just (~June1 or 2) did a video on some oak he cut up and showed both old and new heartwood. Pretty junky looking - even on video. Think of it from the tree's strategic standpoint - it is young and needs to grow fast and needs growth more than it needs strength. So it can just fling cells together and not work for strength. As it gets bigger, strength becomes more of an issue, and will need to make cells smaller and stronger to support weight and bending forces.
I think, generally, no. John Clark (fricknjeep) says that wood doesn't dry when it has bark on it. Drying will shrink the boards (look at the gaps in the back wall). Also, wet wood will tend to keep the sawblade cooler.
Happy 40K and GOOD sawing, Mark! Didn't even come close to killing Edwardo and helper. That was a NICE log and the olde buss motor was speaking again and that mill is on the money! I've got to get out the road. There is a HUGE pile of logs out there and if I can just remember how to get the pictures into here off the camera. Older and goofier hasn't been any of my better traits! Thanks again and GBWYall!
Silly question from a Brit...How did you get hold of that British Car registration plate from the Isle of Jersey off the coast of France J3214?.......I can watch these vids all day
Now you have 40.101. 😅 Your actually the first and only channel i subscribe to atm since its the only channel i watch weekly the last years,, i subscribed to several channels years ago but it messd up my youtube suggestions a bit. so i made a fresh account.
Hi, Some sayers may argue that faceting a log may lead to more waste, but you handled the log really well, without a top blade ther is really no other way to do it, you got maximum board feet from the log well done

Good job Mark came out nice boards
thanks Edward.
Where is the mill located and how many wood mills are around the area
That beautiful lumber was always in that log. It took someone with your skill to whittle away the rough edges. Great job as always.
thanks Gary.
my hopes and prayers are that you hit 100k before the end of the year. you work hard, you and Eddie deserve this. love the channel....

Nice job of whittling it down to usable lumber. Beautiful wood to work with on projects.
thanks Richard.
Mr Mark is it better or easier to cut wood when the sap is down or up just curious love your videos be safe and have a great day Sam
I subscribed to your channel and wow i enjoy every minute, the black walnut is so pretty
I'd love to see what maintenance you do on you equipment and how you sharpen that saw blade. It does an awful lot of cutting!

Does moisture affect the cut?
Do you have a certain moisture level before you cut?
I think, generally, no. John Clark (fricknjeep) says that wood doesn't dry when it has bark on it. Drying will shrink the boards (look at the gaps in the back wall). Also, wet wood will tend to keep the sawblade cooler.
yes the wet wood helps cool the blade in the wide cuts.
