Fast Steam Powered Air Set Hardwood Sawmill - Buckeye Steam + Gas Reunion - August 2018

• Steam Traction Engines...
An old Frick mill, upgraded with air powered set works, dogs and kickers, and hydraulic turner. Air compressor, hydraulic pump + edger are all driven off the spindle. The only gas engine involved is the sawdust blower.
The sawyer works without helpers to load + turn logs. His production rate keeps engineers on their toes. Also, the edger soaks up a surprising amount of power.
3 flat belt pulleys are provided, to allow several smaller engines or gas tractors to team up.
This relocated show is in a grove of tall trees, giving great shade.
Beautiful site to work some great engines.
While the site is beautiful, what is not visible is the large amount of site prep that took place.
More site work is planned before next year's show.

I like watching those young fellers have to run to keep up.
He's a really good sawyer on a very fast mill. It helps that he doesn't also have to do the edging, as some small mills do.
The Amish can teach you more about how to get things done than a textbook will.
Work steady, work together, no need to rush. A lot gets done, everybody is in a good mood when it's finished.
Very nice setup. Now that,s cutting boards!!!!!!!!
This was once the way work was done. This was the way our grandparents built this country. Kids today need to see this and understand that typing on a keyboard is not really work.
Oh hell yeah
very few things the Amish attempt ever fail. resourcefulness is a most extraordinary character trait.
A good sawyer one of the best I have seen on UA-cam
Yup!
That excellent mill helps!
Yes Nancy. It was dangerous, a lot of people were injured and some were killed. That's the way some things use to be.
Simply fantastic! A really great ensemble. Thanks a lot for saving restoring showing taping editing uploading and sharing.
Great video
When the saw blade is in the cut and we hear 'thunk a thunk a thunk'..is that the steam engine under a load?
Yes.
Most of these engines have a single double acting cylinder.
The 2 ends sound almost the same, but piping and other minor differences mean that you can hear the difference in sound.
@@SteamCrane Thanks.
I still remember the sawmill I worked at it was a frick sawmill it changed 2 air dogs the set works wasn't U still had 2 pull the Rachel every time that mill there is a later 1 U can saw some lumber like that in a day's time U have 2 keep the logs on the deck 4 the sawyer saw them fast they don't last like that OMG 12 23 2O22
Every year, this mill gets improved.
Wow the are many modern saws that couldn't compete with that! awesome saw and definitely a awesome team running it
Love hearing that steam engine load up when the saw bites.
Thats the way its done! I've lived it, and seen it my whole life! Im a sawyer, and my Father has been sawing for over 50 years! hes 71 and runs a scrag mill over 40 hours, every week! This is a great sawyer! his saw is running good number one, and he's not "snatching and jerking", This man will work your ass off on the green end, and do it day in, and day out!!!! Without tearing up equipment,,,!!
They have a couple of sawyers, all about this good. It's a pleasure to watch. The mill was upgraded with air dogs and kickers, and chain turner, by JS Machine, who's farm the mill is located on.
@@SteamCrane It sure looks like they done a good job on it. I like the looks of that carriage, and that saw lever, up there where it’s supposed to be! I never knew steam engines had that kind of power! (We always ran Detroits). And that man turning those logs by hand…
That the way a MAN saws! I’ve watched that video many times! Thanks for posting it!
@@craighunt8682 I sit and watch them too!
All very very impressive, thanks.
Amish like electricity when it suits their fancy.......go to an amish furniture store and they have interact
pleasure to watch it work, slam thru the logs and make the Case bark. thanks
My favorite thing about this is that they actually have a riving knife installed on this. 😁
It's even lined up right!

A very cool video, I'll be using the audio only to insert into my model train video to simulate the sounds coming from a sawmill as the train goes by. I think it'll be perfect!
@thecouchtripper Fuh Q
@thecouchtripper FUCK YOU DUDE!
What a great set up. you could cut a lot of lumber in a day.
Espectacular muy inteligente , felicitaciones saludos desde Chile ,Los Álamos ARAUCO

Nice.
Love that power plant , nice mill
Great Sawmill. Wish I was there at the show.
It's much better in person!
This things a monster , wish I could talk to the guy who built it . ! I doubt he's on FB messenger..lol
He's a neat guy, very knowledgeable.
why have hearing protection on his hat and not use it ??? Ok I looked closer and he has the other type in his ears...Good man...
Needs to hear the saw blade and the crew. That looks like a chain saw helmet.
yeeeeh……….good old steam. nice. go on. from Belgium.
That’s a lot of work to avoid using electricity.
Yep I would do it to save money, and hard work is good for ya.
With the rate he's cutting the engine could virtually run of only offcuts far better than buying electricity and wiring it all up in the woods
Work is sorta the point, it bonds people and builds character.
👎👎

That flipper on the moving carriage needs to be slowed down. It almost throws the loggs off. It's a great idea just needs some fine tuning. Nice vid. I have always heard that the Amish don't like being photographed or vidioed.
Wonder if they’re Mennonites.
@@localcrew Amish.
Different groups vary. Here, I'm shooting the machinery, and there just happen to be people there, and that's OK.
quisiera tener uesa maquina en mi casa jajajaja nada le pediria mas a la vida
Хоть у вас их и дохуя.
🏃♂️🏃♂️👍👍🤠🇫🇮
They need a bus motor.
Not allowed, and this is more fun.
This is incredible
Awesome!!
Where's the steam?
Shown in separate videos.
Early on in the video you are shown the coal-fired restored steam tractor that is powering the sawmill from it's power take-off via a wide woven fabric belt.
Obama banned it.
Very nice mill
Nice setup and love the sound of the steam engine under load 🙂
Seems like the air supply is not enough for the setworks.
Interesting, next time I'm out there I'll look. Of course they may have upgraded the air compressor since 2018. Each time we go there, there is some improvement. This fall, they added a green laser for lining up the cut. Not sure that sawyer really needed it.

Thanks.
R the dogs and set work's air or hydraulic?
Dogs + set works are air, chain turner is hydraulic. Both pumps driven off the spindle shaft.
Thank u it's a very nice setup!
Air
Are these Amish or Mennonites?
Amish
@@SteamCrane Yeah, thought so. Probably some of my cousins. My mother was a Mennonite and I have cousins that live in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania.
@Randy Bingham ... What's your problem? Not used to seeing work are you? Get out of your mother's basement and do something productive, instead of spewing your hate all over the internet!!
Are these guys Mennonites?
Amish
Great video. But I don't know why people use a circular saw mill. A band saw mill loses so much less in sawdust waste it should make a circular saw mill obsolete
Albert Cyphers, it depends on a couple of things. If you mainly saw one inch, a bandsaw will save you a lot of volume. Now if you saw more squares and pipeline skids and you are really going for production headrigs are the way to go. They can cut much faster unless you are talking big bandsaws which can cut about the same speed. Also, much less blade maintenance on a headrig. It all depends on what you saw.
A head saw is more forgiving if you don’t have a debarker and logs are a little dirty also, and the cost to have or convert a mill to bandsaw is a lot of money and the equipment to take care of them, filers, setters, spare blades, etc. adds up. I understand your thought and it is a good one just please understand where I am coming from. Thank You
If you’re using a steam powered mill the sawdust isn’t waste, it’s fuel for the process. I remember seeing a couple of steam powered sawmills around the early ‘70s, long after most industry had stopped using steam.
They have a clever use for the sawdust.
as others said, it depends. What was mostly being made were timbers 2x and bigger, so not as much waste. But the speed of a circular saw is much greater than a bandsaw could manage, (of a similar size). And remember, these are the Amish. They had the logs, they didn't want electrical motors. Could have run a bandsaw, but a circular saw is simpler.
Words cannot express how many found memories a video like this brings back.
That man looks awful close to that blade,it looks dangerous.
If it ain't dangerous the it aint worth doing!
Easy there you Nancy
go smoke a pole nancy, you worry to much.
It was ,but people learnt very fast to be safe around the sawmill
