Best of the Old Sawmill in Sweden.

- Опубліковано 12 бер 2022
- Early mornin' in my Sawmill. I built this between 2019-2020 in a way to really look like the old days with all old inventory. The machines once belonged to my Grandfather, and have been used by my greate Grandfather and my Dad as well. The building was aboute to collapse so i moved the machines here to my farm and built a 1940's classic Swedish sawmill. The engines and sawbench are all built in Sweden between 1938-1948. Exept for the Deutz 322 engine. That is a German made engine from 1935.
Lots of work to start and keep going. It is a tribute to all of my relatives on my fathers side that have used this to make a living back in the days. I am only using it as a hobby, but it still makes quite good money. And i really enjoy working in the old way, and my Father helps me here in this video.
The wood is frozen now. That makes the sawdust freeze and squize the sawblade stem witch makes it very hard to cut. But with slower feed it works quite well.
Thank's for reading and watching!

No crappy music, just luverly sounds of these old engines chugging away as they did 100 years ago. From Australia
Love videos like this! No disturbing music, no nerve-racking intro ... Only pure machinery sound and genious video! Please send more of this!
Thanks! 😊 /Richard
real pleasure to see. you get really happy.
Fränt 😊
I totally agree !
Disturbing music does ruin alot of content on YT, but not here. Working with dad is also very cool.
A visual and sensual feast ! I’ve given up flying- otherwise I’d love to go there and smell the oil and the pine. Also I agree with another commenter - no music !!!!. Nearly all filmmakers put music in - so as to be prescriptive about what we should be feeling 😖. The sawmill itself was a musical instrument. I loved the way you could tell that the flywheel was doing the work - the engine just injecting little packages of energy into the flywheel.
I particularly liked the engine sounding a bit puffed out as it coasted to a dead stop.
....I can almost smell the whole operation....from the oils to the wood.... and , to me, the machines have a heartbeat all of their own..........John (west coast, Can.)
God I remember Tilly lamps so much brighter than hurricane lamps. Dib Dib Dib,Dob DOb DOb.
Tilly lamps is wery nice i think. I would compare this with a 100w bulb. And gives a lot of nice heat when it is cold /Richard
Your video brings me back to the day's as a young boy who watched the old timers work a mill similar to yours. This was back in the early 1970's, before they switched to an electric/hydraulic saw mill,where I worked in the late 70's,early 80's. All that is gone now, and, all I have of the old place and the men I worked with, are mere memories. Thank you for sharing your love of the old mill...
Watching this gives modern man a sense of purpose, what it was to work and take pride at the end of the day. Now, we just push papers around and sit all day on zoom calls and complain about our internet service.
Yeah, i actually use this to cut lumber and sell with good profit. And after a 8h day you are quite done.. Back in the days here in Sweden they worked 10h 6days/week as a normal worker. But they was strong back then. /Richard
Saw Stop anyone? Seriously though. I restore and use antique hand tools. This is next level stuff here. Very nice
This film is a piece of art from start to finish. Thank you.
This is the best engine show that l have seen in a long time.l didn't even have to leave my chair
Hi, thanks for those kind words. I hope you having a great day! /Richard
This totally satisfies my soul. I didn't even have a soul until I watched this video masterpiece. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed.
Hi, thank you very much. I built this sawmill 2020-2022. The machines is my grandpas. He sold it in 1974 but I bought it back 2020. He died before i built this but i think he would be happy to see it. /Richard
Very nice to see this kind of films showing a past era. The lumber and saw mills was essential to Sweden. And so cosy and humble at the country sides. An illegal shoot moose was the worst that could happen. Then Sweden was a proud and idyllic place.

Just firing up the ole limb extractor... Great content..Thanks..
Haha, yes. But you can also use it for slicing up logs 😁
Put in a days work before you start your days work. People today couldn't do this, we have gotten to soft and weak. I remember the stories my grandfather would tell me about his life in Sweden. So interesting. But in the early 1900s it was the same in all countries that were discovering engines and such. Still think we need to go back to those times.
Perfect work, despite being nostalgic..!! (Brazil)
Ovanligt snygg film av hantverket som liknar det morfar gjorde för femtio år sedan. Farligt dock.
More people need a job like this one. A real job. A job where you need a shower at the end of the day.
Ah these modern machines. Back in the old days we had to get up much earlier to fire up and get steam in the boiler.
Die Technik ist phantastisch, erstaunlich das noch alle Finger dran sind.
Boy, it did me some good to see some old machinery serviced and used. Unfortunately, built to last is a thing of the past. Nowadays the motto is built to last just past the warranty. Thanks Richard.
Is a lost art. Proper care run forever.seeing this I recognize some tools saw blades were kicking around in old horse barn of my grand parents.never knew what they were for.and I'm 71
1st time I ever seen a finished board come off the "back " side of the of the saw blade. More like a giant table saw than a typical sawmill carriage that only rolls on the back side of the blade. carrying the bulk of the log behind the blade. The lack of removable teeth (bits) held in by shanks allowing teeth replacements. This is really OLD old school and thank you for sharing.
Hi! Thank you. This was the way Swedish mills loked like. I have never seen a American style mill here in Sweden. And we dont have them huge logs here. Take care! /Richard
Anyone can operate a modern sawmill, if only you know a little about computertechnology, but to run an living, breething creature like this, and keep it running, you have to be an artist! Well done Richard!
Historisch Pur ist der Sägemotor von 1900 Jahrhundert ? Ist ja ein wunder das es noch Läuft ! Sogar die Lampe und der Kanister ist Original . Schönes Video ! 👍👍👌
The sound of the old engine talking when the saw is cutting is enthralling.
This is probably one the most interesting videos I have seen in a long time. Love seeing the old machinery at work and running so smooth. Great job.
Hi! Thank you. I wanted it to be even more, but time is a precious thing this time of year. Lots of work. /Richard
No
Normaly it makes sence if you use also a woodgasgenerator to use the sawdust for driving the combustionengine. I not expect that you going back to an steamdrive ☝️🧐🤔😉
@@hannulammi2499 Have you any other links to share on the same subject ? Thanks in advance.
Totally agree Larry, was awesome to see everything from the oil lantern firing up to the old engine. Really entertaining.
Great video, sounds like one of my Stirlings :)
Intressant film!
Tack 😊 /Richard
Einfach Traumhaft ,alleine der Glühstrumpf der Lampe , wo bekommt man so etwas noch zu sehen❤❤👍👍
Can we all stop for a moment and appreciate the sound of a large hot bulb engine working under load? They sound nice even idling, but i love seeing them do actual work! They sound even more awesome!
Hi Richard thats a real honey love your workshop congratulations from Northern Ireland
19.48, there's my Dad's blowtorch. Magical memories.
Nothing nicer than hearing a engine working hard.
Relaxing video, just right these days. Life goes on as it has since 1948!
It's absolutely mind-blowing how much maintenance must be done to keep these lovely machines working, but at the same time - that's probably why they are so indestructible. Great video, so relaxing to watch :D
Yes, oil and grease. And lots of it! Then it runs forever! Better with a drop of oil at the right time than a whole bucket when it is to late. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery how old is this mill?
@@rudycarlson8245 Hi! This model came in the 1870's. But this one is made in 1948. It is a very good mill, and they still make them today! /Richard
This is super important lesson for the future!! No one soon knows how to survive reality ?? I get sentimental and warm when I watch your films!
in 2000-2002 I often loaded in now gone sawmills in Sweden - always a warm welcome and never in a hurry - bygone days
Thankyou 👍🍻👌
this video is awesome you do your ancestors proud
Thanks. Yes i hope so. / Richard
Richard I really enjoy your videos.
Hi, and thanks! /Richard
What a wonderful depiction of of how it was done 100 years ago. It should be shown in every school. Thank you.
Just the heartbeats of the engines and the buzz of the saw...Beautiful.
Wonderful work. I would love to smell the fresh sawn wood and all the oils and greases doing their jobs.
The good old technology is wonderful, it warms my heart. Nice video, thank you very much.
That's all the music you need in a video like this..terrific,thanks a lot.
Thank you. Yes it felt bad to cover good sound with music. /Richard
I love how you prefer steam power and vintage everything. That mantle you changed was easily twice the size of any I've ever seen here in the USA.
Really? But sure, at full power it really does put out a fair amount of light, thats no lie. I recon its a fenomenal piece of lantern. Made in Sweden, of course.
@@YesterdaysMachinery yes, All the mantles here, even the few vintage ones I have that my great grandfather had in his shop, are about 1in x 1in (2.5cm x 2.5 cm.) Also, thay don't open up like that, they are sewn in a manner that keeps them flat until burned.
Bonjour. Respects. Quel hommage aux anciens. Tant pour le travail, qu'ils ont abattu, que pour ces machines qu'ils ont construit, misent au point, utilisée et qui aujourd'hui font encore le boulot. Alors, oui, çà ne correspond pas aux besoins, d'aujourd'hui, moins productif ? mais écologiquement, un moteur comme celui ci, brule-t-il plus de carburant ? Pollue-t-il plus, qu'un moteur moderne au final, en multipliant, le nombre de ces machines, ne gagnerait-on pas. Et surtout, du travail, dure, c'est vrai, pour plus de gents. Voir ces vielles machines reprendre vie et fonctionner, me laisse toujours, un réel plaisir. Merci de partager ces moments.
early morning routine at the sawmill. every day.
I dont have to grease every point every day, but sure takes it time. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery but that's why the sawmill has lasted so long. I have a 1953 South Bend metal lathe and it has about 20 oil and grease points that have to be done every day it is used. just something that has to be done.
I've been using these for YEARS !!!
Do you have all your fingers left? 😁
@@YesterdaysMachinery
I was referring to the lanterns !!! 😂
@@bmortlock1956 same might still apply. The lantern mantles contain radioactive thorium. 😂 😳
@@TsunauticusIV
True, but, radio activity levels BARELY REGISTER on my gieger counter at all !!!
@@YesterdaysMachinery Great stuff Richard, but I seen your hands too close to that blade, no business with your hands near that blade. Almost every mill operator I've met in my 82 years has fingers missing.
I made it to 50 years old and this is the first time I have ever seen an inline (pump on the zerk nozzel) grease gun being used!
Aaah, the steamy breath, the hiss of the tilly lamp, the smell of engine oil (the shadow of iphone6) Very atmospheric, wdll done.
Thanks. Not a Iphone 😉
Wonderful 😍👍🏴
I love this! Infinitely cooler than something like my Wood-Mizer!
This is a clean and polite comment section, reminiscent of bygone days. Todays parents, take note! It's up to you how you want the future to be.
Hello from Texas. Very nice video. Top drawer for sure. Thanks
Thanks! Nice to hear from Texas. /Richard
im a carpenter working with modern machinery (some stuff around 20-40 years old but still modern compared to what you use haha)
love seeing old equipment like this still being used, takes a little time to start it up but it still gets the job done!
Hi, yes. I dont have to do all of this every day. Mostly i can start cutting boards within 20 minutes. But it takes a lot of extra time when im filming. A 15 min job takes one hour. /Richard
Yeah you can speed things up by adding a luber station to it you just run lines to all the places you lube before you start it an its done no doubts cause there is an oil tank on it thats see through so you know when oil is low that way you can start it up just a little faster you will still have to lube rod an crank but the rest will be done automatic with the luber but up to you it all belongs to you i guess
I guess OSHA was not around in 48. Neat video, "Liked", (it makes me nervous).
What a beautiful sawmill! Everything about this is a tribute to the way things used to be done. Love the video, and glad to see you back! :)
Hi and thanks! Yes it is very hard for me to get the time i need to make these videos now. I have all my days filled upp all the time. Glad you like it! /Richard
I love old technology. It's a testament to the old timers that the machinery still runs today. Some would say the equipment is overbuilt, i would say it was designed to last.
Another thing i think is fantastic about your saw mill is you're completely independent of the power grid.
Yes, if i have oil i can run it. In a couple of years from now i might be the only one capable of running. / Richard
Magnifique, de pouvoir sauvegarder notre patrimoine, notre histoire des gste du passé, grand merci à vous..

This reminded me of discovering an old note in my great grandfathers work chest. A jobbing joined by trade and 1/5th of his bill was sharpening time. Can you imagine charging for tool care today? Like looking over his shoulder. Just as it would have been 120 years ago.
There was a water powered sawmill on the farm/estate where i grew up, all long gone now of course but your post brought back some very good memories.
Thank you.
I stumbled upon a 300 year old water saw mill in Småland, Sweden.
Turns out it is still operational and locals maintain it, and they even run it in the spring when the water is high in the creek.
It has a circular saw as well as milling stones and a machine that splits roof shingles.
Almost everything exept the cutting tools is made from wood.
We bought a tilley lamp like yours in 1963 for 14 shillings and 6 pence. Gives out great heat and light.
Paddy from Ireland.
Hi! Yes a lot of heat. Perfect to bring heat or light to a small cabin. /Richard
Dude is a snazzy dresser and his Ag skills are top notch.
Don't know about Snazzy really. But back in the days we always used this type of clothing, even as workers. And i see why, couse i really like it. So not just for show. /Richard
Outstanding!
Greetings to you from Bahrain. I love the life of the countryside, which was wiped out in my country, and the village became a city. I love old machines, which remind me of a skilled craftsman who makes crafts with great skill. 🇧🇭🌹
Pensé que esas máquinas ya no existían, pero así como vamos todos quedaremos con las viejas tecnologías.
Genauso wird eine "Petromax" vorbereitet.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀😀😀😀 Viele Grüße aus Germany
very good information on this you tube .i give it a 10 .
why all the old machinery still works and everything that is new in a maximum of 10 years is broken. Being a millionaire is not fashionable but it shows how good you are at what you produce. Thanks for publishing this film which once again proves to us the quality of old machinery.
Hi! yes i feel the same. And i like working with old things. Heavy, oily and a bit harder fysically often but the work seems more real and the machines got more soul than a new band saw for example. And sure does live longer. /Richard
@@YesterdaysMachinery o yes
Awesome job! Thanks for the video!
Beautiful machines doing what they were built to do from back when "Built to last " was a promise, not a sales slogan. Very well done video also. Nice to see you return to UA-cam.
Kul och inspirerande att se. Gamla maskiner utan krånglig elektronik👍
Tack! /Richard
The best part about your video is there are no computers or electronicson the engines, the machinery was robust well made and lasts forever the way it should be and old skills and knowledge are being kept alive
Amazing old sawmill still running Thanks so much..🇺🇸
At 14.50 I fully expected to see a foot of snow on the ground. But it was just as nice to see Pop coming to help.
So nice old machinery everting in function and present reali how prepair machinery to work next day! Today sistem is same but controller is PC no human work so nice
thnks for presentation!
...super production...tks shrng
Quel cérémonial..... J'adore voir revivre ces vieilles machines..... Splendide.....
Really Cool! Thanks.
Ingenting annet enn respekt for de som jobbet med disse maskinene.
Thanks for the update and the great job you are a great worker Thanks for sharing the video with us beautiful atmosphere without music 🇩🇰👌👍🙏
Absolutely fantastic, thanks for sharing this with us, the first five minutes were like a movie set in the age!
BRILLIANT. It's a work of art just to get it going !
Wonderful video! I LOVE watching old equipment working.
It’s all fun and games until someone looses a limb!!!! 😂
Yes, wouldnt be hard if you lost focus for a second. /Richard
I know that to be too true because I’ve seen it happen!!! I’ve worked at a sawmill all my life until I retired. It was a much more modern sawmill but it still happens unfortunately.
Old legends never die, people in its day just got exhausted by the heroic level of maintenance such a machine requires over a newer model.
Brilliant video absolutely awesome
loved the sawmill *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED*
Beautyfull thank you greetings Tobi
Amazing, not much of this type of history operating down under, just locked up in museum's. Great video, thanks.
Absolutely gold ! Loved every second. I didn’t get a notification so just found this video randomly. All the best from your old mate in Australia.
Hi Jenko! Thank you. Nice to hear from you, hope you are all good. Yes this is kind of a dream that i just had to make real. /Richard
Without any doubt this is the coolest sawmilling video I have watched, great dedication and respect by yourself and family to keep a very important part of timber industry going, thankyou from Australia 👍💯
you did a beautiful job
This is a thing of sheer beauty, so cinematic! Just watching it feels like stepping back in time, and the soundtrack is nothing short of masterful. Amazing video of awesome machines and incredible workers! You've raised the bar for all youtubers. Keep up the great work and stay safe, my friend. 🙂
Great images and sounds, congrats
Thanks a lot! /Richard
Machines like this don't require a laptop and a bunch of diagnostic gear to speak to you and tell you if something is wrong. A mechanic in tune with the machine who knows it inside and out can listen and feel and quickly know what needs attention. There is really an art to maintaining pieces such as these. If you listen and feel for what it's asking for and take care of it, it'll last a lifetime or more. It's dirty and messy but hearing that engine come to life and that equipment start up is just wonderful. Watching you work that close to the blade though, man that's scary. I'm not saying I wouldn't be doing the same thing in that position, but it shows how one small slip could be a serious problem. You better be aware of your surroundings and where every moving piece is at all times or bad things will happen.
Every movement is so methodical and deliberate - it needs to be, because the machine would chew you up in a second, if given the chance!
I have done it so many times by now that the methodical comes by it self. / Richard
Old school stuff. Hard to to say it's been improved upon.
Thats a sawmill ! Thanks !
