I thought I would visit after seeing your mill on C&C. I enjoy watching old school mills and such at work. I watch Mark Galicic and their mill also. Love the sound of the old screaming Jimmy. I enjoyed watching. I will be back.
Good video 👍 Great commentary. Since you seem to saw a lot of popular, have you looked into cutting poplar rounds for targets at these ace throwing places that have become popular? Local, to me, sawmills are getting oak prices for poplar 🤷
Honestly thought about it but not went through with it! But hey I’ll tell you a wood better for axe throwing boards! 8/4 Quaken Aspen!!! It absorbs an axe like a sponge! At least when I’m throwing😂
Wow! Reminds me of the old Forested saw we had at Mariner Lumber in Brunswick Maine. This was back in the late 70's when I worked there as a teen and young man! Thank you for sharing!
@@Helmsburgsawmill First time here and what caught me was cutting Poplar. I have lots of that here on the farm plus big cottonwood that I think would make good lumber to build sheds with. Of course Burr, Red, White oak, Walnut, Cherry so I'm thinking I need a bandsaw rig. I really enjoyed what you explained and then let us just watch and absorb what is being done. This will be the one and only sawmill Channel I'll sub to. Thanks You so much from just North of Battle Creek, Mi.
@@jefffrayer8238 I greatly appreciate it sir!! I’m trying to make mine a different item. Some people just want to hear me talk, and some want zero talking😂 I feel like in each video, it’s good to spit out pieces of information that can be observed. I feel like it helps people understand and retain what I’m talking about when they see it
@@Helmsburgsawmill I really like your format and did look through your many vids. I'm also interested in the sawmill itself such as did you build the whole setup or improve an old factory mill ? Blade vs band saw. It's probably a lost art changing teeth and truing up a blade so it would be very interesting learning the basics. No doubt a blade is faster but more complex to work right. Thanks for the vids.
Outstanding! I'm subscribed to several sawyers and am still wondering what the fascination is watching logs turn into lumber. I'm a woodworker but deal mostly with imported exotic hardwoods. Even though I'm an old man now, (73), I'd still love to work in a sawmill! I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your next video! Your narritive is also helpful! Keep up the good work!
I love this mill and the videos. And I would think it takes a lot of know how to keep all of those moving parts working properly, and the narration was fun too, great job
Fantastic! This video is so informative. It's amazing to see how big logs are cut. The clarity of this video is great. I'm really looking forward to the next video. Don't stop sharing this awesome content!
Here due to seeing this in a different video as a “to watch next” cue-up…. Plus I work in the cabinet industry, so it’s pretty cool to see how the lumber is cut to the sizes in the bundles we get.
That was one big ass poplar stick. A real headrig log! Interesting to watch after you loaded the carriage and started to turn the log looking for the best opening face.
Hello, nice sawmill setup and channel you got there! I am running a family business sawmill too but in cedar and not as big yet its been 3 years since we started!
@@Helmsburgsawmill I noticed that and want you to know I appreciate your doing this. Telling us what to expect and then popping back in to update us as needed is perfect.
I’m going to go to a spot that’s by me and show you guys some poplars that have 4’ tip logs at 70’ up the tree. They’re ones I won’t be cutting or sawing though:)
We have same timber business in Pakistan and our product is almost same but the problem is that our production is very slow as compared to the this cutting machine. Can you please tell me more about this machine? I want to Import the same setup in Pakistan. thanks in advance.
I worked in a mill in the 1990s and we were asked to kiln dry some Brazilian mahogany. Biggest pieces were 54 inch wide and 23 foot long. No defects at all and no heart shake. 33 inch is not big for poplar, they grow to over 8 foot diameter but not many mills left big enough to mill that big. As for waste, unless you have the funds to install a band mill or linebar band resaw you are stuck with thick saws and a giant kerf.
I never said Poplar was harder than White Oak….? Softer woods are used for flooring all the time. It’s not ideal. It’s better for paneling. Perhaps that’s what I should’ve said
Where is this? Here in New York, I can mark and tally poplar trees with "sawlogs" but, more often than not, the loggers will cut the poplar tree and leave it lay in the woods to save time for skidding maple, cherry, birch, oak, ash etc.
Love the smell of fresh cut poplar..... worked the back end of a tie mill in Arkansas, love the built in edger, we had to move slabs from the conveyor to the edger table with gang saws.....we mostly cut red oak, gum, poplar and white oak when we could get it for stave mills.
The several hundred million budget hollywood movie my gf was watching didn't seem particularly interesting so I'm here watching this instead. I've never before seen a sawmill with multiple blades like that. Fascinating.
It just depends on the species and how hard it was debarked. Honestly I just want the surface off, so I don’t hit any dirt or mud. If it’s a little fluffy that’s still okay:)
I can cut 28 foot 9 inches. This mill goes 48 inches. And cutting a 50’ log that’s been quartered is easy. Square on two sides. Only a 25” piece. Also probably takes you all day
When you talk, you talk like nobody except one of the 13 people who run one of these in Appalachia is watching. Ive worked on industrial equipment for 11 years, 5 of which as an engineer.... wtf? Explain, buddy. Or your channel wont grow.

I sat in a booth behind the head saw very similar to yours for 12 years back in the 80s and early 90s. I enjoy watching your. Videos. Good memories.
I appreciate your comment sir!:) keep watching and share my videos
Great mill! First time I have seen it in operation. Keep up the great work.
I’m glad you enjoyed watching:)
Make sure to share the video!!
Great video and I like your commentary. Keep em coming!
Nice saw work ads usual and the commentary is just fine. Wouldn't mind seeing your dad doing some cutting though; Give your family my best wishes.

It’s nice to hear about your appreciation for mills!! I take pride in making this one sound good:) I hope you enjoy the music

Here because of algorithm. Staying because this is great!
Me too.
Amazing how the saw cuts those boards

I like it when you talk about what you are doing

Beautiful lumber. I love working with poplar. Amazing skill running that thing.
Thank you sir:)
Yeah, me too!! Never, ever seen a 4 saw operation, hadn't even imagined it. Just Amazing.

Enjoy listening to you explain what’s happening as you cut these logs.
Liked the commentary - your reaching a good balance showing the logs get transformed and interesting insights to the process.
I’m creeping up on the commentary! In the future I’ll provide more. Along with just pure sawing videos:)
Definitely like the more commentating great to always hear someone who knows what they are doing talk
That was one big ass poplar stick. A real headrig log! Interesting to watch after you loaded the carriage and started to turn the log looking for the best opening face.
Honestly I’m not so picky on a normal sized log! But I’m trying to think 3-4 boards in advance
Thinking ahead is the sign of a good sawyer and saving and making your company money.
Impressive feat! Can't wait to see the process of sawing a 14ft long 33-inch poplar.
Are you adjusting the horzontal blades or. is that automated for maximum yield ??
I’m adjusting them
Hello, nice sawmill setup and channel you got there! I am running a family business sawmill too but in cedar and not as big yet its been 3 years since we started!
I like hearing what you are thinking.
I always enjoyed exploring the Brown County area when we lived in Bloomington. I imagine your products are in a lot of local cabins
My family alone is responsible for sawing, notching, and setting over 300 log cabins throughout the state!! Dozens and dozens are in BC:)
Thank you for sharing your life with us.J.Au-en
You’re welcome! I’ve been sharing more and plan to continue:)
Thats another awesome video, thank you for sharing bro
A little more advanced than my Belsaw m-14 tractor PTO mill. . Nice setup.
This sawmill is awesome
Love the talking!!
I’m gradually adding more to test out the performance!
@@Helmsburgsawmill I noticed that and want you to know I appreciate your doing this. Telling us what to expect and then popping back in to update us as needed is perfect.
It's such an impressive piece of equipment.
At 20:16 that was a stand for a sewage pipe from a camper to the main line in a camp ground .
20:16? The video isn’t that long
Imagine having this sawmill on my farm. Omg. I would be set for life :)
C&C referral. Great content🤘
I’m glad you enjoy sir!
Do those little green apples still grow Indiana in the summer time
This cutter is very handy. 🎉 6:50
Hello from Btown - fun to find a local on youtube!
Hello! I’m glad people from Btown are seeing my videos! Help me by spreading them sir!
I cut some massive poplars in east Ky and western Va. always wandered how the mills managed those 3’-4’ diameter logs.
I’m going to go to a spot that’s by me and show you guys some poplars that have 4’ tip logs at 70’ up the tree. They’re ones I won’t be cutting or sawing though:)
Enjoy watching the video
Tulip poplar? Very nice stuff
Yes sir!!
Clint said come to your site so here I am subscribed.
I’m happy you checked it out! Feel free to ask questions about anything. I plan on making many more videos
Pretty cool saw rig. Haven't seen one like that before.
I love the saw mill.
Yes friends
S0 great to see some one who knows how to saw a log
Panning around really helped give perspective on size of log. 😮
Good commentary. 👍
That’s some beautiful grain in there, I don’t think I’ve seen the inside of a poplar before
My cabin logs are Poplar!!
Do u sell slabwood or do u chip everything
We chip mostly everything. We cut up just enough wood for personal use off of the stuff too big for the grinder
What is the manufacturer and model of that mill. Thanks. Take care.
Keep talking. Love the commentary. Hope you include it every video
What’s the bit speed in feet per minute your running? We are at 9,420. 48” saw spinning 750rpm. Thanks
10,250! 56’ at 700rpm:)
Is that poplar sycamore or cottonwood?
Tulip Poplar!
Is your mill heated in the winter
Nope!
Someone is smart then a lot of other malls they have a top saw like my father had 50 years ago ❤
It makes all the difference
Awesome setup
Finally i found the Channel with the biggest hardwood!
Like the video and love the commentary. You don’t need to talk nonstop but just some explanation here and there would be great.
Saw you on CNC equipment thought I'd come over and check you out
I’m glad you did! I hope you enjoy the channel!
@Helmsburgsawmill I did subscribe
We have same timber business in Pakistan and our product is almost same but the problem is that our production is very slow as compared to the this cutting machine. Can you please tell me more about this machine? I want to Import the same setup in Pakistan.
thanks in advance.
Omg sweet ty your awesome 👌
Amazing video friends
why is the carriage running backwards?
It’s a left handed mill
we used Scribner Decimal C in the Rockies
I worked in a sawmill in central Wisconsin and the biggest 14' board i had ever handled was 32" x 8/4.
Dang!! I bet that came off of a 40’ log or bigger!
I worked in a mill in the 1990s and we were asked to kiln dry some Brazilian mahogany. Biggest pieces were 54 inch wide and 23 foot long. No defects at all and no heart shake.

Who makes flooring out of Poplar?
Kiln dried poplar is harder then hammered hell
@@Helmsburgsawmill Janka scale: Poplar 540, White Oak 1350: Look it up.
I never said Poplar was harder than White Oak….? Softer woods are used for flooring all the time. It’s not ideal. It’s better for paneling. Perhaps that’s what I should’ve said
How long does a blade last?
As long as it doesn’t get wrecked, years and years
the horiz blades add so much to production
holy moly thats a big saw
56”!
Saw you on C& C EQUIPMENT
Watching your sawmill on C&C equipment
Where is this? Here in New York, I can mark and tally poplar trees with "sawlogs" but, more often than not, the loggers will cut the poplar tree and leave it lay in the woods to save time for skidding maple, cherry, birch, oak, ash etc.
I wonder why they would cut it in the first place:/ We’re in Brown County Indiana! It’s worth looking up:)
Big circular head rigs about all gone.
did not know there was much market for Poplar?
The first few cuts are the 2x4's at Hime Depot
Bagus sekali kawan salam dari Indonesia
Greetings!
Love the smell of fresh cut poplar..... worked the back end of a tie mill in Arkansas, love the built in edger, we had to move slabs from the conveyor to the edger table with gang saws.....we mostly cut red oak, gum, poplar and white oak when we could get it for stave mills.
Thank you for sharing sir:)
That is one *heck* of a nice saw....very little waste!
The several hundred million budget hollywood movie my gf was watching didn't seem particularly interesting so I'm here watching this instead. I've never before seen a sawmill with multiple blades like that. Fascinating.
This is real
Nice!
Yo! Where are you located???
Asking because I want some of that poplar, for a friend…🤣 brown town Indiana, dang! Shipping would be expenso!
is this after the bark is stripped? why is it so furry?
It just depends on the species and how hard it was debarked. Honestly I just want the surface off, so I don’t hit any dirt or mud. If it’s a little fluffy that’s still okay:)
I've cut and nailed up millions of L ft of poplar moulding in my life
Big logs???...Big Band!
The people who buy that wood will they know how big that tree was
There will context clues!! Like boards that are 22” wide came out of a pretty big tree
i was a field service for amada metal saws
No new video ???
I finally found the biggest hard woods
I’m gonna fill this niche!
I wish I could smell this.
It smells sweet!!
a bigger band head rig make that log into cants in 5 minutes or less
Hi Ian?
That aint shit i cut 24 foot white oak some are 50 inch or larger quarter them with a chinsaw the mill can go 30inch
I can cut 28 foot 9 inches. This mill goes 48 inches. And cutting a 50’ log that’s been quartered is easy. Square on two sides. Only a 25” piece. Also probably takes you all day
