I was a sawyer from age 18 until I was 25 and swaged and hand filed the 52” blade I sawed with. I straddled the blade as I filed so each tooth edge was straight across. There is a lot of satisfaction when a saw run straight and true and makes short work of a grade oak log.
You sharpening your saws by hand reminds me of my Grandpa doing the same with his circular saws. Me: I preferred the automatic grinders. Set it up and walk away. That is great looking off cuts.
Great video. IMO you missed a key opportunity; after saying "the greatest sound in the world" just cut in audio of a woman saying "Yes honey, you're right- I think I do want to go Go-kart racing for my birthday".
I'm curious how often you have to sharpen the blades. I suppose it depends some the species and quality of log. Could you give an average for the most common varieties you saw?

Thank you for pointing out the tone difference before vs after filing, I definitely would have had questions if you didn't 👍 Good video 😊
Beautiful sawing, thanks for the video.
Glad you’re back, hope you had a nice break…now let’s get to cutting some logs and make some money. 2:55
I could watch debarking videos all day long
Especially good debarking videos like you were making
One’s coming!

Would like more detail as to how the up and down positions of the two small horizontal blades are controlled----automatic sensors or manual or both 🤔
Completely manual!

It’s about a day and half if I don’t hit anything!
Skipped the saw filing cuz that file screech making my dogs bark their brains out isn't the greatest sound on earth. hahaha
Nice bit of work there on the whole operation, but isn't a high speed run hard on the blade and motor(s)?
Railway ties are called sleepers in Australia and are now being manufactured from concrete more and more.
Something I’d like to know is how much footage you get from the logs you cut on your videos and how many different sizes you get per log.
One big log is what is videoed and we do multiple per shift but there is only 3 of us 😂
It’s alot of everyone has every job type of thing
We are all hands on deck 💪🏻
why do some debur
I thought finger nails on a chalkboard was the best noise
A 'singing' (squealing) file is a bad sign on 2 counts.
Nails on a chalkboard 🤢😂
Why do you debark
Bark is full of dirt, sand, rocks, all kinds of materials that are unfriendly to sharp saw teeth
