I am a pallet manufacturer in iowa I have toured some of the Amish pallet mills around our neck of the woods one had 17 kids 14 of them were boys ! The mother was having babies from about 18 until her late 40s so from the time the first sons were big enough to cut lumber and build pallets he had a hard working crew and when the last left home the dad had plenty of money put away for retirement. We would joke dads most important job in his business enterprise functioning properly was keeping mom pregnant..........apparently he took that very seriously ! But really we gave all the credit to the mother I mean 17 wow !
Great video! I've been there and done that. Yep! I grew up amish. My parents had 15 children one of which was a stillborn. We had a farm and a sawmill/ pallet business and my dad had a metalworking/ buggy shop.
I would like to see all American people love and respect the Amish peoples of America . They are an honest , placid and hard working group of people who deserve our respect . Their basis of life should be our starting point in putting our lives into perspective ! People are starting to see , that their way of living is not so stupid now .
I live in SE Pa and out in Lancaster Cty it is an epicenter of The Amish. Great people, true craftsmen, very friendly, and very hard working. They do things right.
We have a lot of Amish near me and they are some hard workers. If you are ever in the Oklahoma area you need to go to Chouteau Ok and go to the dutch pantry!
Great video! If you want high quality and want it done right, these are the folks you want to deal with. Those youngsters were awesome - I think they all got a kick out of being guest stars for a moment - great smiles all around - but I wonder if they will ever get to see the finished video on UA-cam :) Wow - you could make some really amazing things out of lumber like that - I bet it smelled great in there with all that freshly cut wood. Loved this video - hope you can do some more when you have future interactions with your Amish neighbors. Thanks so much - your channel is always fun to watch - keep on doing what you're doing! :)
I’m surprised that they let you video record them. The Amish around here (middle Tennessee - Etheridge) do not want any photographs of them, especially their kids. They are very up front about it.
I don`t blame them , they don`t want any of their children to be kidnapped for human slavery around the world !! That has become the biggest money - maker these sad days !!
I was born in Chardon, but lived in Middlefield for the early years. My family moved from Ohio to Virginia when I was 10. All I have to say is *Ohio is God's country. I loved it there.
ATJH Travels yea they are hard working and very nice but one thing I have noticed is they want everything for the price of nothing but when it comes to wanting something they have they want everything for it habha
This mill is NOT dangerous compared to the small family run mills here. A circle mill will make that band mill go hide somewhere. The guys are FINE men but the mill is calm.
That's so cool that they let you film them. The Amish near me in central Missouri want *Nothing to do with video cameras.* They have good work ethic though. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼
True some don't, I stop at sawmills over most of Missouri selling supplies and parts, many are Amish, depends on where you go as to whether they mind or not
They have purity in their eyes. @2:50 The devil hasn't came in through them and hopefully never will. This is hard to watch as I feel so many of us have robbed of this peace.
Depending on the Amish group, they will use alternative sources to power their tools at their businesses. Some don’t allow it at all. Some don’t allow it at home, but allow it their job. There are also those that allow it at home and at their business. It is not contradictory at all. The Amish are not anti-technology. They just choose which sources they’ll use and which ones they won’t. That is their decision.
They aren’t suppose to have motorized vehicles with air in the tires. That why you will see some of them buy skid steers with tracks It is very odd they can’t have grid electricity but can make electricity with diesel power lol
There are Amish and there are Mennonite. They often dress the same or very similar and sometimes are often assumed as one being the other. The Amish are still more traditional to the Amish ways of doing things more in the ol' fashioned way, and the Mennonite are what I'll call a branch off of the Amish who are more lenient when it comes to using technology n such. However the Amish have many different sects that one sect may allow generators to power machines such as but limited to clothes washers but the other sect does not permit the use of electricity regardless of how it was obtained/produced. Mennonites will more often allow cell phones whereby more Amish more often seem to not permit them but many many things are changing as more and more Amish areas become more of tourist-style locations and are influenced by other cultures
Thank you for your answer. Perhaps the question of mine is what is technology. Because even on horsepower... the thing it does is a kind of it. Perhaps life doesn't stand still and changes continlously. For me I don't believe there's one road to follow, but I like to be inspired of those who are different my mine. Thank you for showing me a little bit more in your culture, and I have the deepest respect for any sole on earth who isn't mindblocked from the assumption that what they now is the absoltue truth. Me myself am carptener, cabinet maker in progess... and that's why landed on this video. Would be cool to see these things in real life. And what I truly love about the Amish or Mennonite is that they care of there own buisnuis in independece! Bless you all!
AOC aside, it's not unheard of for farms to recycle their animal waste for the express purpose of generating methane to power their implements. It makes a ton if sense. Farms typically work in tight margins, so it makes sense to cut costs where you can.
VeritasEstVeritas there not using there animal waste for fuel. They are using a Diesel engine to run the mill but they won’t use a diesel truck. They use a home made mower with a gas engine that runs a belt witch turns the blade but they won’t use a lawn mower. It’s dumb in my book
Sure it's a hard way to live but at least they really live as God intended us to, for ourselves!.. Just good hard working folk's earning their way every step of the way and that is a blessing in my opinion.. Screw all of today's BS!. Give me two hundred acre's with absolutely no taxes paid to the government ever and I'll live better than the world I'm living in now I would guarantee it!.
I remember those days. Now I can shave in the morning and have a 5 o clock shadow by 5 haha don't worry little buddy it will grow! I wish mine wouldn't now!
A good operation going there. But I was lead to believe the Amish shunned Electricity and modern machinery. Have they changed their lifestyle or what?.
There they are... not paying for logs, not having insurance or paying taxes (on account of they are a church) and using child labor.. yup.. the amish are REAL good people
By the sounds of it your salty! I know for a fact that they pay taxes,I live in Pa and I drive them around,and every year at tax season I take alot of them to get their taxes done.
@@Brian.N what they give you 15 dollars an hour to drive them.. do you have insurance to carry paying customers?.. that's commercial bub.. taxis and buses have different license and insurance, which you should have, and have you checked taxi rates?..
I CANT BELIEVE THE ARE THAT FRIENDLY TOWARDS YOU. IN 1974 WHEN I LIVED BESIDE THEM THIER FATHER WOULD NOT EVEN LET THEM TALK TO ME. BUT NOW I SEE THEY USE AIR TOOLS....
Theses people are hardcore survivors . I envy them in many ways .
They look like hard working honest people.
Wow!!! Talk about working at an early age and as a family. That's pretty awesome!!! Great video Ben
& they grow up with respect & not being a thug, robbing & looting!

I cant believe they used that great wood for making pallets

Gotta love the Amish! Hard workers for sure👍💪✌
JAC Adventurer yes for sure!!!
Good times. Huge Amish population here in Indiana. Been wanting to go up there for a while.
Harshman Hills yea they do a lot of cool stuff and very friendly
This is really cool man, my dad lived in Chardon Ohio for a bit and when I would visit I saw the Amish that I never seen before😃✨
I'm from chardon Ohio lol
I was born in Chardon, but lived in Middlefield for the early years. My family moved from Ohio to Virginia when I was 10. All I have to say is *Ohio is God's country. I loved it there.
The Amish are great we grew up near a Amish farm when I was a kid great hard working people hearts of gold
ATJH Travels yea they are hard working and very nice but one thing I have noticed is they want everything for the price of nothing but when it comes to wanting something they have they want everything for it habha
ShoutOut in the description of our latest video help it helps your channel grow my friend
ATJH Travels awsome thank you so much!!!!!!
This mill is NOT dangerous compared to the small family run mills here. A circle mill will make that band mill go hide somewhere. The guys are FINE men but the mill is calm.
The mill has some danger, but nothing like a circle saw..
@@PapawMule AMEN to that. You just DON'T goof up around a circle mill. NO 2nd chances, NONE.
My very first tax paying job was building pallets
I'm so sorry you lost your hard earned money to total scum!. I envy those who can still live outside today's money hungry monsters aka Government!.
That's so cool that they let you film them. The Amish near me in central Missouri want *Nothing to do with video cameras.* They have good work ethic though. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great stuff the amish people are hard workers
michigander man they are very hard workers!!!! There my buddies lol
I just had the funniest thought... Canadian Amish.. That accent would be HILARIOUS!
Or at least my brain thinks so with having been up for 24 hours.
There are Amish in Canada
They have purity in their eyes. @2:50 The devil hasn't came in through them and hopefully never will. This is hard to watch as I feel so many of us have robbed of this peace.
that was a great video bud.they work there butts off.
Doug Paulson yes they really do!
That camera gonna take their souls...
TESLA ...PALET (MANDIBLE) P-3=T
No safety guards. Good to see they are at least wearing ear protection. Should be using large headphones but ear plugs are better than nothing.
That's a bandsaw mill, not a circular saw. They're quietter without the circular saw blade singing. Relatively quiet compared.
Most earplugs have much better noise reduction than earmuffs .....glad to see younger generation using ear protection,hearing loss is forever.
@@rotunda57 they are using a cutoff saw so no your not correct.
GOD BLESS YOU All....from Germany.
Traian Toma don’t forget to subscribe
OSHA nd HHS would shut that operation down in a heart beat
Maybe. And they would ruin a good honest living for those people too.
You would think but they have exemptions
From where do you acquire your wood? I have acres of 100 year old black walnut trees. Interested?
Great video. Thanks for showing us.
Nice to know super nice ppl , for sure ...
Great video nice sawmill
Man that was awesome.
My whole life is a lie. I always thought they powered the saws with some kind of man powered bicycle like mechanism....smh
I thought they didn't use anything modern?
They do sometimes, even electrical. But its rare.
There are a lot of misconception about them. The church says what they can and cannot use. This varies with each church.
Esta video es expestacular me encanta cuando parten la madera
They speak an old dialect of German, called Deitsch. It's not "Dutch" like they speak in the Netherlands.
Where is this sawmill ?
How bout that Connor McGregor?!
How many mule power are those saws?
Are they Mennonite it something else? I thought the Amish don't use electric tools.
thedexterbros these are Amish. They don’t use electric tools. For some reason they allow a Diesel engine to run the mill. Makes no sense to me
@@DaddysLife oh interesting!
Depending on the Amish group, they will use alternative sources to power their tools at their businesses. Some don’t allow it at all. Some don’t allow it at home, but allow it their job. There are also those that allow it at home and at their business. It is not contradictory at all. The Amish are not anti-technology. They just choose which sources they’ll use and which ones they won’t. That is their decision.
All depends on the area, and what their Elder allows
All I can say is Out Out. Keep an eye on the trick cut off blade.
What powers their sawmill?
Steam power? Or water power?
I dont think they use electricity or gasoline engines for power
They actually use a Diesel engine to run it..... explain that one lol. One of those things they do that just don’t make sense
@@DaddysLife Maybe because they can't/don't/won't ride it!
They aren’t suppose to have motorized vehicles with air in the tires. That why you will see some of them buy skid steers with tracks It is very odd they can’t have grid electricity but can make electricity with diesel power lol
I thought they can’t use electricity and modern tools...
That's what I'm talking about!
These people are thrivalists they go way beyond survival.
Good video ty 👍💖
can you Give me the layout of your mill for my school report from infeed to out feed and all machine names and handling tools
What’s a litle kid doing in a dangerous place like a sawmill.....if I did that in my mill they would lock me up......go figure
Doug Greenwood they work there that young lol
Yup, and some of the mills I go to they work barefoot
Funny buggers. Hard workers too.
pretty sure you're not supposed to film them
I thought the Amish didn't use machines.
Good video
I thought they didnt use technology?

Bless you all!
To bad we can't put "Amish work ethic" in a bottle and hand it out around America. It is what we need.
This video was a waste of time. Has nothing to do with how the sawmill works.
What is the power source?
Robert Spencer Diesel engine witch still doesn’t make sense to me lol

Good video though! I liked it!
why do they make so small peaces
*pieces. Pallets. 4'.
Cants for pallets, several Amish mills in Missouri I visit saw them
Where is weird al
salamander drawing lol hiding in the hay loft
Powertools???🤔🤔
demon is filming
A good operation going there. But I was lead to believe the Amish shunned Electricity and modern machinery. Have they changed their lifestyle or what?.
Depends on the particular community you're in, the Elder makes the rules they follow
There are the Mennonites that has electricity, modern technology, cars, etc. They separated from the strict Amish & their laws a long time ago.
Amish boys are cute ☺️
Dutch. No. It's 'Deutsch'.
German, to you,
There they are... not paying for logs, not having insurance or paying taxes (on account of they are a church) and using child labor.. yup.. the amish are REAL good people
