Talk about multitasking Ian! I can’t imagine how many equations are going through your mind at any given moment? Love watching your videos. I must say that I do feel for the boys tailing out! Working up a sweat 😅
There was a time when I would have bought every of those wide Green heart boards. The 3rd log was what I used for what I called a one board chest. It only took one board to make the entire chest. 5/4 was preferred but a plump 4/4 worked. Some preferred EWP but I liked Tulip.
@@Helmsburgsawmill The only thing I see as a challenge is where the top saw meets. Almost no sense leaving wood on past the top of the Bottom saw. End users would have to trim and toss it away IF, it does not plane surface out flat. And even if it does, there could be finishing issues (discoloration) right at the step out. What is the full width to the top of the Bottom saw?
I would really enjoy some more videos on some of the other processing at the mill! Some chipper action is always fun to watch! And the firewood side of things!
The vertical edger is a useful tool. On big logs It makes the first cut slab a lot smaller by reducing it into two or three pieces which slip thru the chipper with ease and not jamming the throat of the chipper.
They are beautiful Poplar logs. You're really good on the controls in the cab Ian. Is the overhead blade deliberately positioned so it's not inline with the main saw blade. You see on the very large diameter logs that there's about a quarter inch lip on some of the boards.
Yes this is something I’ve addressed at point in the past!! So the saws are in line! The top of the head saw blade, swims in and out of the cuts, based on sharpness and feed rate. I have certain videos where that lip variates in depth more, throughout the lengths of the cuts, and I point out the swimming
One thing is obvious, your older than I thought, you are working without a cell phone in sight to play games on instead of paying attention of your job. Very nice work
Wieder ein guter Film. Beim Säge Bild der breiten Schnitte kommt es mir so vor das die Sägeblätter nicht plan eingestellt sind . Es sind Abstufungen bei 2:29 und bei 40:44 zu sehen. Mindert das nicht die Qualität der gesägten Bretter?
The filming of the cab drove me crazy. You use those buttons on the right on every log. And, you use your left hand! do it! I think I pay anything to rearrange that part of the operation.

@@MrMartinious hey when it’s cold, they like to stay moving!
I really like the poplar! The contrast between the sapwood and heartwood is really neat in my opinion!
@@KristopherDGrieb1980 it’s all different and unique!
@Helmsburgsawmill that's for sure! I never would have thought a year ago that I would enjoy watching lumber get sawed as much as I do!
Happy to see what happens to the scrap. Very interesting to see more of your entire operation. Keep up the good videos.....
That was a farm!!
Noce Poplar log n sawing Ian God Bless
Thank you! God Bless!
No wasted motion in the cab which means you get in a groove and produce tons of board feet, thanks for the video sir
@@jimharbison7589 the grove is where I want to be
Awesome sawmill channel! Thanks for sharing.
@@iamwhoiam4410 thank you for commenting:)
Good looking poplar
Thank you:)
That log around the 39 minute mark was huge 😳 Nice sawing 👍 It's great that your nearing 15k, hope you surpass that mark soon. Good video 😊
They all had size in today’s video!!
And it’s coming:) I appreciate it
The top and bottom saws are perfectly aligned. The camera angle gives us an optical illusion of misalignment.

Fat logs make for easy sawing. Not hard on the head and easy to plan the next cut.
You bet! It takes aways the educated guessing

The best saw mill video so far! Thank you.

All those boards will get planed:)
Would like to follow the lumber to the kiln and finishing the dimensional cutting
Is that you in the control booth? First time watching one of your vids. I'll sub for a while, looks interesting. Cheers...
Nice vid! Why are you splitting the first cut in 2 pieces?
@@bartvanrijnsbergen259 it helps the grinder digest

What make is the mill....my brother in law used to have one with the double edger on it but I can't remember the brand.
It’s a Forest-All
Sooo do you guys sell your slab wood or grind it up?

How many board feet can you get before changing saw blade teeth
If I’m in non frozen logs, roughly 120,000 feet!

PLEASE NARATE THE VIDEO WHERE YOU SHOW your HANDS .
HOW DO YOU SELECT THE SPECIFIC CUT EACH TIME.
