I like the view from the cab better! I worked in a lumber yard over 50 years ago and just loved the smell of the lumber. We didn't have a forklift to empty the boxcars so we had to do it by hand. I would love to work in a sawmill at my old age. I love working with wood! Keep the great videos coming!
Poplar is the other end of the spectrum after having watched so many oak videos by your hand. Where I come from, we use them to produce our famous wooden shoes because it is so light and soft. Man I can't wait until the internet can produce odor. I love the smell of fresh cut wood in the morning ;)
I love the sound and smell of a sawmill. My grandfather owned one.... a lot bigger but that sound of the saw and just hearing it work brings back memories. You are doing a great job and keep going,before you know it you will grow and have a huge mill. Great video.... kudos to ya.
I like the sawyer's eye view better. Just for fun sometime, when you have time to play around, maybe a couple of cuts from the log's eye view, and from the Eddie Horvak's eye view.
@@markgalicic7788 Butt cuts have a lot of junk in them or can have. Just depends where they were and if someone needed a fence post right where the sapling was. Sawing is like a Cracker Jack box. A surprize in each and every log!
@@markgalicic7788 I know lots of ppl that would have loved that lumber, even with the metal in it just makes it more visually pleasing I'd have bought it from ya lol nice work though
Hey Mark and Eddie, I love the videos, thanks so much for making them. I have a technical question for you. On a lot of your logs, you take a few passes on your opening face then turn the log 180 degrees and clamp the sawn side against the ells. On the first log of this video you opened the log with a few passes then turned it 270 degrees to put the sawn edge down on the carriage. This seems a more accurate cut to me but you rarely do it this way. Care to elaborate for a simple carpenter? Thanks again.
I gave a thumbs up because I love all your video content. However I hated the angle for the camera and I couldn't hear your monologue which I like just as much as the sawing. I like the camera inside the cab with you. Don't be concerned that you miss a pass or two on the blade. Maybe a head worn go pro can fix that problem. It turns with your head. Just a thought. Great video.
thanks Nathan , I tried the head mount camera and people didn't like the movement . I do need a wireless microphone so I can talk far away from the camera.
wow, what happened... just yesterday there was snow on the ground and there was a roof over everything but THE Eddie.... oh... old video.... well, this one is one of the vids that made this channel poplar.
I'm assuming the cost of operation and ease of use with the circular blade would be a major point. and if he got it cheap like he says then why buy it just to convert it over. There's a lot more machinery involved in turning a 4, 8, or 10" blade that's up to 30' long than a 32" circular blade [guessing at the size of it]. I'm just guessing but I would say a conversion might cost more than just buying a mill that came with a band type blade?
That Guy in the orange shirt is slow as molasses. A millennial I'm guessing. You must had had to stop and wait for him at least 10 on that one log. His job is to remove and stack the lumber but to also do it fast enough that you can keep sawing
He works concrete five days a week then does this on the weekend. Guys like him look slow but work very efficiently and get a lot of work done. I've known guys like him. they work slowly and efficiently, are never checking their cell phone and work circles around guys half their age. Big respect for THE Eddie Horvath.
I saw the thumbnail for this and thought wow that’s an old video, but only 2 years ago. A testament to your guys hard work and how far you’ve come!
Y'all have come a long way in a fairly short time keep up the great work be safe and have a great day Sam
I love sawmill videos, thanks!
thanks for watching !
First high school shop project was an end table. I chose poplar. Still have it. Had the black streaks like the wood you are cutting.
I still like to work with poplar.
time to catch up on the previous videos before the sawmill cover videos, which brought me to your You tube site ,thanks Mark

@@markgalicic7788 you're welcome brother!
@samdon815 I'd be hard pressed to say I've ever smelled that aroma since!
@samdon815 yes! I still work with wood, some imported from South America, Central America and Africa but nothing beats the scent of a lumber yard!
how long did you saw ?

poplar is a great wood to saw & work with . I like the smell of fresh cut white pine.

Boy have you come a long way with your operation. It don't seem like it is the same place.
Nice logs and CLEAN! Good job sawing. No way would I wear any hearing protection there. I'd be scared I might miss something!
I love to saw poplar , the nice big log had metal in it , so it went to the fire wood pile all 200 bf!

that is why we scan each log with a metal detector.
@@markgalicic7788 I saw. Good practise.

this is so the saw can clear the cut on larger logs
Thank you for the video.The log turner may have had trouble, I didn't see it, still lots easier than the old fashioned way.
yes , you can't beat hydraulic's!
That mill is running good.
thanks , we are still fine tuning it.
Nice mill.
thanks!

nice cut how are you guys keep up the good work take....
thanks.
Work of art !!!
thanks James!
Great video of sawmillin
thanks , we will have many more videos.
How often do have to sharpen the blade.?
every 3 to 5 thousand board foot.
Great Video 👍🏿
thanks
wow, what happened... just yesterday there was snow on the ground and there was a roof over everything but THE Eddie....
oh... old video....
well, this one is one of the vids that made this channel poplar.
hi Dave , watch our video sawmill move part 1 &2 to see what we started with.
What do you do with the slab wood and saw dust?
Have you done a tour of the mill?
yes we have a sawmill tour video hope you enjoy.
You set the camera on the wrong end of the line.
thanks for watching Frank.
Why not convert to a bandsaw mill instead of the head rig?
we got this mill cheap , we don't want to invest in a new mill.
I'm assuming the cost of operation and ease of use with the circular blade would be a major point. and if he got it cheap like he says then why buy it just to convert it over. There's a lot more machinery involved in turning a 4, 8, or 10" blade that's up to 30' long than a 32" circular blade [guessing at the size of it].

What size Detroit?
it's a 671.
😊👍👍💥🌎🍵🍵
Why mill poplar? It's super soft crap wood. People actually use it?
poplar is worth $1.90 a bf of FAS great wood to work with too.
To far away can't see anything
we have other videos with better views.
Sawyer is a rookie!
I ran a handset mill for 25 years , all new to me .

The dude in orange is about 50. He;s in other videos. Yeah, he's not a rocket.
