      @@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.

      @@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.

      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.
