I have just found your channel and I am addicted. My son and I are amateurs with a band saw mill and we enjoy every minute sawing. We have learned that not all logs are equal. Straight, bent, clear or knotty, we enjoy the surprise of what’s inside.
It is ok to say NO to a job if the log is not going to work. It is always good to see you guys hard at work. Hang in there and remember you have a lot of friends on your side. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Bad log. What I like is you are honest about it. Just another reason I let my grandsons watch your videos with me. Really appreciate how you all and the hard work you do.
Now that is one big, ugly, UN-happy, and heavy contestant. Nice looking grain though and even though it has a problem on the back end you still got some good usable lumber out of it. As usual it is good to see all of you together and to hear the music of the mill and see the summer snow blowing in the wind.
Thanks for the shout out. You all made Grandpa smile. About the time you said that this log is a waste of time, he said exactly the same thing. We were all wondering if a lot of creepy crawlies came out of that rotten end? It was exciting to see all the guys were back. We were all amazed what you all got out that log. Yup, the Magic was Gone out of that Log. 😊
Got more out of that oak than I thought. Looked like one of Jasons firewood logs. A LOT! Good job and God Bless and that cant was ROUGH! Getting sliverish.
Great video Mark, Eddie and ZZ Mark. Hope everyone's keeping well. That log certainly was rough looking but you got a few good boards from it. Take care.
I always talk to the guy who owns a sawmill 4 blocks away about this channel. He saws mine timbers and railroad ties. He has a 56" mill as well. Last Wednesday lightning struck the old long abandon huge brick building attached to his sawmill and caught it ablaze. I am a firefighter with the local fire dept. We ended up calling 7 other depts and 16 trucks mostly tanker/tenders to haul water. The hydrant on the property could not flow enough water. Even with all the towns pumps running we kept coming close to draining the tower. Well over 250,000 gallons of water was used in 4 hours. Anyway we stopped the fire from entering the mill. Zero damage to any of the mill. The owner of the mill called me Friday thanked me said they were back to 100%. (We were pulling saws and equipment out as the fire was going in the event it got into the mill. They had to reset everything.) He told me to come up anytime they would show me how to run the mill. Then allow me to cut logs! I can't wait, I am going to wait on cooler weather. LOL They use a top mill I can't wait to see it work. I have been in there several times but never noticed it. He said it is old and has two blades on opposite sides.
My city once cut an old, humongous oak tree down and it was hollow. Bats were roosting in it. They said it was a foot or two deep at the bottom with bat poop. 😅
@@garybessey2184 Here is some more information about bat poop that may interest you. "In the U.S., bat guano was harvested from caves as early as the 1780s to manufacture gunpowder. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Union's blockade of the southern Confederate States of America meant that the Confederacy resorted to mining guano from caves to produce saltpetre. One Confederate guano kiln in New Braunfels, Texas, had a daily output of 100 lb (45 kg) of saltpetre, produced from 2,500 lb (1,100 kg) of guano from two area caves. Simons, Jim (January 1998).

Eleven o’clock at night beautiful grain in that ugly old log it did yield some nice boards, thought I’d do maintenance on my big lathe now I’ve slowed down tail stock carriage and top slid are in bits cleaned and repaired , took the head off the mill new bearings and belt table is next along with my other lathe and the rest of the workshop it’ll stop me from getting bored, anyway you guys have a nice day
Hey, that might be a waste of time from a sawmill / saw-miller's perspective but from viewers' perspective it was quite a departure from all them, erm, "run of the mill" (pun not intended) more or less straight and unexciting logs - this was more on "but how is he going to saw it?" side - think "suspension", or "this got me hooked on". Also, as others have said already, you've got SOME usable and decent wood of it anyway - it's another matter whether it was actually profitable though. Still, a captivating show!
Hi Mark. Yes. That was the worst oak log. I ever seen here at Bus Motors Production. I've seen " pot soil" of other oak trees in the past. Our town's public trucks cut huge oak w/ 6 to 8 inch" potting soil" centers. The "potting soil & sandust is spread everywhere on the stumps & grounds. One town's oak tree had a massive carpenter ant colony scattered everywhere! 😲😲😲😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔 What a mess that oak tree was. WHISTLE! At least. You filled your order Mark. Say Hi to Ed, & ZZ for me. Until the next video. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@markgalicic7788 Yes! Agree. Honestly. It my first " potting soil tree" on your sawmill Mark. During my first 7 years of farming. We go to a sawmill or furniture shop. To get wood shavings/ sawdust for our animal's stalls. This the year 1988. Then went back 12 yrs later to our compost piles. We had " peat moss like" material. We had 4 types of clay for soil. The " peat moss/ compost pile help break down the dense clay soil. We cleared 2 huge compost piles for gardens & flower beds. Not one wood shavings/ sawdust was found. Pure peat moss like material. Thanks. Have a good Friday the 19th. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mr. Oak if you're nasty. a reference to J. Jackson song 1986. i realize you don't care and, in my youth i felled a big pine, limbed it, loaded with friends on a flatbed, took it to the miller who had a V8 placed in a pit to power his 5ft 6in circular blade and we paid him for 2x6 & 2x4. i gave a Like.
Bad log Mark. You need to better appreciate the pure joy of dicing-up volunteer log victims, it's not just all about what you can get out of it. It's like the same joy you get out of tying helpless damsels to railroad tracks even if the train is running late. You have appreciate the little things. Glad The Dynamic Off-Barer Duo is back.
Uuuu this is cool, biutiful Mark, im sorry to ask this but can I get more video of the edger, its so satisfying bro, sorry if I bothered you bro , thank uou

Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.
good evening Andrew.
Relaxing video to watch to de-stress from recent events. Thanks for the video and mill.
thank you.
I love the mystery behind each slice... solid entertainment!
Another good sawing video. Thanks to the crew.

How much did you pay for that log?
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

thanks Lewie , we sure do try to get something out of junk logs.
@@markgalicic7788 That middle would make some good stove wood.
You did a great job Mark. That was a nasty log.
thanks Doug.
There is so much more for us to learn from watching you deal with ugly logs than perfect logs. Keep it up, we love it!
thank you.
Just sent a thank you. I love to watch that beautiful piece of steel rotate. You guys are a great team !!!
thank you for the support!
Mark, they are all good videos & Great Bus Motor Productions
thanks Artemus.
Thank you for another amazing video!!! Inspired us to start sharing our experience at the mill
I feel your pain Mark. It’s hard as a small sawyer to get these larger tree guys or loggers to deliver logs.
Too bad for that crack in the log! What you did get off of it was some good looking lumber!
It’s worth seeing and I know there’s some good cabinet material in there,
good video Mark,
Great video Mark, Eddie and ZZ Mark. Hope everyone's keeping well. That log certainly was rough looking but you got a few good boards from it. Take care.

Afternoon,, from Southeastern,,,U.S.A.💯👍🤠
thanks John.
Nice work Guy's thanks for sharing
team work makes the dream work
😮 Y'all got something out of it and We'all got to see it
Get some nice boards and heat a house. Winner, winner chicken dinner. Oak is my favorite firewood.
Hoping you gentlemen stay well hydrated. Here on coast of North Carolina quite humid. Stifling hot.😮
Hi Mark & Eddies & ZZ Mark & it's is Randy and i like yours Video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Eddies & ZZ Mark & Friends Randy
thanks Randy.
That was some good lemonade you made out of that lemon of a cant. Glad you stopped when you did! Stay safe, guys.
thank you.
Have a great week everybody. 👌
Good call to stop sawing that log when you did. It’s not worth anyone getting hurt if it flys apart. Great looking decking
thank you , yes you have to know when to quit.
That's quite the silk purse, considering the sow's ear you were working with.
18:00... Beautiful grain
it was Ron , just a bit shook.
I know that log was not much fun to saw,but it was sure fun to watch.
thanks Roy.
Half lumber, half good firewood!!

Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
At least y'all were able to get some usable lumber out of that log
It's good for us to see how to deal with a "nasty" log.
Nasty log had some nice boards..
Need a fan hooked to that pto.👍
it has one that blows hot air lol.
You could sell this to Home Depot - seems to be the general quality of lumber they sell.
I like it lol!
You are Home Depot lumber a little too much credit
What do you recommend to seal the finished wood planks to prevent it from the elements Thank You

Like the switchover to other saw
yes off to the edger.
More videos from the top of the edger looking down at the new laser!
I sure will Shane.
What gear are you in on the board of education.
I've got my wife watching your videos with me now and she said " When are they going to get that blower out and clean up! Lol
yes she is right we do need to clean up a bit lol.
Thumbs up

Wow! the thumbnail makes that log look dangerous!!!
I was Doug , I had to stop sawing it and get it off the carriage before bad things happened.
@@markgalicic7788 You are a wise man Mark!
Wondering why you didn't stack and wack with them 2" boards?
the edger was a better choice today.
Hey Mark I'm from nova scotia Canada
Quick question - what is a”super thanx” for????
Viewers donate money to the sawmill for expenses, etc...
Tough making a silk purse out of a sows ear..
yes for sure.
You took a log that should been fire wood and made it work for you mark that’s saying something
thanks William , yes you got to work with what you have.
Good idea to take cant off the mill . Nice lumber ,though . Seeya
thanks David , yes it was just to dangerous to keep sawing it.
Mr. Oak if you're nasty. a reference to J.

You should make a CD or music mix download of all your favorite Bus Motor Sawmill background music! Sell it in your merch, if you can get copyrights.
great idea.
Y'all sure know how to pick 'em!
slim pickens lol.
Boy, that was a Jekyll-and-Hyde log...half beautiful oak; half crap!
yes for sure.
hi there good sawing , how did the edger handle the thick boards , best to all john
thanks John , the edger handles up to 4" thick but heavy to load.
super ty guys
Mark, do you think that cutting that log in roughly half along the split would of helped?
that would have been a lot of work to split a log of that size.
Title for today's video: The good,the bad and the ugly.
Did have a few good boards 🥴.
Bad log Mark. You need to better appreciate the pure joy of dicing-up volunteer log victims, it's not just all about what you can get out of it.

Uuuu this is cool, biutiful Mark, im sorry to ask this but can I get more video of the edger, its so satisfying bro, sorry if I bothered you bro , thank uou
thanks Skender , I sure will.
Firewood
yes the cant went to firewood.
Maybe two belt drive ceiling fans B I G honkers
that sound good!
What do you mean about your magic number??
It’s a shame that that log was junk. It had some pretty grain at the beginning of the log.
yes but we did get the most out of it.
🇺🇸
for sure Stan.
What does ZZ wear under his apron? 🙂
not sure lol.
94 degrees here today
What ever happened with the house you tore down a couple of years ago? Has the lot been built on since then?
it's a empty field now.

Not good for timbers but I would have loved to have the wood from it.
Hey Mark, got a view of the ugly log that made for a unhappy sawyer....... btim cecil pa
It amazes me how you all can take the ugliest logs,and make some of the most beautiful lumber out of it.
thanks McKinley , we did get some nice decking boards out of this for sure.
@markgalicic7788 from what I saw the lumber that came from that log was nice for almost anything.
UA-cam unsubscribed us, as well. I wonder what’s up with that.
I had a better log this morning.
TMI
All I could see when you were sawing that log all I could see your saw getting dull and big hunk flying off of it was a terrible log
yes it was time to get rid of it.
Lot of complaining in this video. The big, "ugly" logs make for more interesting content. IMO. Well done - good work
nasty victim!
yes for sure.
