- What’s up TH-cam! Merry Christmas from the Helmsburg Sawmill! I’m tearing through some 14-16 ft Poplar to get a load of grade lumber done before the holidays! I’ve not uploaded a video yet where I’ve exceeded the board yield in a given time. And as the day went on, I just got faster. I hope you enjoy today’s video! And everyone stay safe

Go watch my most recent video! We just lost an irreplaceable man. This will help the family
Sorry to hear, I will check this link out. I subbed your channel, do you have a run down on the mill kind of video, like the brand of various equipment, how it's powered (looks electric), how economical it is, max cut width and length. All the technical and important info about the mill. Where the lumber goes. How you clean the shed out of dust and chips, how does the dust effect you. I operate a 10" Lucas Mill milling hardwood. Thanks form Australia.
My dad asked me if he upgraded to an all hydraulic mill with vertical Edgers, would I stay on & run it. I declined as I thought at the time it wouldn’t have worked out at the location we were at. Watching you makes me wish I would have said yes. I’m getting my fix now in retirement running an m 14 Foley Belsaw tractor pto mill. Loving it. Love watching you.
I love this mill for hardwood, the thing is very productive. I wish I had a mill like this. Stay safe
Over,under,edger too, that’s the way to go!!
Wow, what a beast of a circular saw! Watching it devour those big poplar logs is both mesmerizing and impressive. Your skill and precision in handling such a powerful tool are truly commendable. Can't wait to see more of your woodworking adventures!
Best sawing video due to your double blade being on top and bottom to saw two logs at one at a time that is the best type of saw because it makes two logs in one pass even if the log is two sizeses two larger than the saw size to large for the saw blade ! Two to size of the log a twenty inch thick log can be cut in one pass by a saw blade that is 18 inch in diameter ! Saves one cut down to one pass ! X just great engendering I done by one pass !!
The way that you are presenting the information, sequence of events, as well as the rational as to the method in which you are conducting the operations is right on the money. Any changes you might feel that you want/need to make will only make it better,
You are a hell of a sawyer. Fast and efficient. Not a wasted motion. That is a wicked mill and I LOVE the saw tracks a circular mill leaves on the wood.
I really needed that! Thank you. I’m going to need that. By next week, idk, we could have 400,000 feet on the yard. I have to eat it expediently and proficiently
yo bro I got thrown on as a sawyer at a mill that does 40 foot 24x 12s do you have a link to the laser guides I'd love them and have the owner buy them for me.
for the edger. I'll prob start my own channel the rookie sawyer
Those edgers have been their since before I started sawing! It’s something I’ll look into bud.
just found out we have one laser that got removed by a previous sawyer for the carriage that shows the position of the log which is pretty sweet. I need all the help I can get after 2 weeks of training.
My boss got a poplar tree that was submerged in water since the 30's. He made some fine stuff out of it.
Love the setup. The trim saws look like they save time and reduce some rehandling. The top saw means not having to whittle big logs down.
a large piece of wood that is very nice to look at
That sawmill right there is one of the best I've ever seen, since it cutting down the edge at the same time, you saving time because time wasting is money wasting at the same time, i just love watching this mill in action!!
worked at A. Johnson Lumber in Bristol, Vermont.....very hard work, very dangerous and deafening, extremely rewarding:) kudos for the team here!
I've seen some pretty good manual setups.
This might be the best yet.
Absolutely awe-inspiring performance from these behemoths.
Thank you!! There’s plenty more videos to come:)
You were focused, saw dialed in, that was awesome to watch. You keep sawing like that and the handlers are gonna be mad at you lol. Great job!!!
wow incredible! you truly make every pass count ,great job!
Poplar has ? 7 ? varieties I think worldwide, so my experience with milling the *introduced Scandinavian poplars* here in Australia may be a different species to yours.
Cutting poplar for me was really weird compared to the plantation Radiata Pine (F5-F12 softwood) and the indigenous Aussie Hardwoods (F15-F57) I've milled over the years.
It is really fluffy, fibrous, not dusty or chippy, it's like cutting cotton or wool!
Poplars are like sponges. It was soaking wet. There was a massive spray of water over everything in my milling shed! It was so heavy when tailing out!
It shrinks about 20%, meaning you have to cut way oversize.
It warps like hell during drying and seasoning. I reckon I lost 20% of the rough sawn boards from twist and bow and cup.
But once dried and dressed it is very strong and fibrous and beautiful to work with for building and joinery, way lighter and stronger than pine.
Was it worth it? Yes, because I got all my trees for free. Poplars get a borer and would randomly drop branches on sheds and horses so the farmers were very pleased to have them taken away. Or else they'd just fell them and pile burn them out of hatred for that species. Funnily, they were planted here around the river lands in the 70s as swamp drainers. Yeah, they are like drinking straws. But 30 years later farmers were even paying to get them off their property cos they just fell over randomly. A silly experiment gone wrong. I was the only person in my state I ever heard of milling them. Yes, they were very un-popular
Your saw mill is a woodsman’s masterpiece…. How much does a unit like yours cost? Keep sawing!
Super nice sawing. Thanks for a great video!
A pleasure to watch you saw away! Gorgeous wood.
That is a cool saw mill. Cuts and edges at the same time !
I always wanted to put in a vertical edger . I couldn't keep a good edger man to save my life lol. I'm doing the band saw thing now. Some very nice popular your in their. Thanks for the content.
Once you have one, there’s no going back!
Great video, great sawing there, there is an art to that. Thanks for sharing, I’m an old operator in mill.
I like this setup
Another great video. Keep them coming!
nice clear and straight log. Making some nice poplar boards...even if it is a secondary wood used in furniture and usually hidden from view
Wish bark always came off so clean. I enjoy watching a circular saw.
yeah mine falls out of the carriage in the saw out the back blows.
Very nice setup you are getting out some great board footage
Got some mineral stained poplar there.beautiful wood.
Amazing work man!
That is one amazing piece of machinery.
Nice, enjoyed watching.
I like your videos, no excessive talking, you don't cover the sounds of the mill with annoying music, and you don't constantly switch cameras or angles its just sawmilling.
Id like to see the debarker in action.
Plenty coming up!!
Nice. That is one slick mill. You are a damn good operator as well.
I appreciate that sir!
AMAZING 👍👍👍
That blade has been well tensioned plus a good operator, nice to watch.
Merry Christmas!
única, aplicación, industria de la madera
Those are very nice boards.
I like your sawmill setup Good production, Good video.
Cut the giants whenever you can, love to see the upper saw at work. Ray
Nice mill
Band mills are great but for a finish rough sawn look I'm still partial to a circle sawn board. Nice setup.
im a first time viewer im amazed at how straight those logs are and hardly any stress in them nice saw mill
Better ones are coming up
Thank you!
Nice setup!
Check out a dual bandmill headrig like Rosboro lumber cuts half million board feet in one shift
This is biutiful my friend, my sons love it , the eldest want a sawmill , if he insists I'm sending you the bill 😂😂😂😂
I'm kinda curious of somthink, my uncle is a retired woods guy as we say here , and he told me that those side saws eat alot of the logs mass , so are they worth the loss over expediency or I'm I missinformed?
You ever saw any black walnut? That black walnut is some beautiful wood!
I sure do! In my cabin that’s coming along, that I plan on doing a video off, I have live edge walnut stair steps and nice walnut 10x12 post that you see as you first walk in
Hi there I was just looking 👀 for too saw videos and found you
The magic word in ‘pith’
잘하는데
So smooth and productive. Love seeing a system that is totally efficient. Great job. New subscriber here. I'll share some videos with our local forestry pages.
Thank you!! I greatly appreciate that!
Nice machine, make, model, year made, I see some custom parts in this machine. Thanks.
top saw action
So we've seen the debarking process, And the milling/cutting. Show us what happens with the edging's that come off. And your drying process? Do you sell green lumber thats dried and then manufactured into what ever they make with it??
Nhla will come if you pay them of course and do an efficiency evaluation and the number one thing they say is over edging and over trimming lumber
it would be more interesting and informative if you were to narrate what you're doing, how you calculate the width of the boards and what type of boards you are cutting. for example are you cutting for a particular client? and why you mainly cut 1 inch boards, why not 2 inch?
also how do you use the laser or does the machine do it automatically?
poplar is a great wood for trim
Amazing

Saw was marking prettbad there. That didn't affect the grade?
Great set up. I mill in Washington state with a Lucas Mill. Love to watch all kinds. Where do you sell your product to? Moulding manufacturers?
Ive heard that the Weyerhauser high speed band mill In Longview Washington mills over 3 million board ft per day.
Nice operation! What is the make/model of the saw mechanicals?
A Forest-All!
công nghệ thật tuyệt
I love you
I run a similar type mill just different brand the only thing with the vertical edger is there’s a little more waste a lot of the boards can still be select or fas leaving more wane on each board I understand to keep production up you only have 2 seconds to decide how your going to edge each board
I love the laser guides hes using imma have my owner buy a set for us on the saw I run
Thumbs up
Not knowing anything about hardwood, what are some of the end uses for that Poplar? Is it better utilized if KD'd or AD'd ?
So sell our own 1” stock. All of our stuff is air dried. If you’re looking for lumber that doesn’t shrink, kiln dried is better. The air dryed is extremely good for decking, siding, and tbh I think it looks fine for inside interior
When you cut the cants for pallets, do they "order" certain quantities or do they buy everything you can send them?
Some round logs there. Nice
Any place that we sell cants to, wants them by the semi load. Various lengths up to 16’. They want a 6” wide minimum, and 10” wide max. We separate all of the cants by length and increments of 2’
@@Helmsburgsawmill thanks
Where's the board's?
I was wondering......did you get any logs from McCormick's Creek State Park when the tornado hit it last March? I have not been back there since before the tornado.
No we didn’t. We’ve dealt with tornado’d woods and trees before. It was about like salvaging meat from an animal struck by a car. Ya there were bits and pieces. But a lot of splinters and busted sticks
You typically turn logs to the bed rather than the knees. I often see mills have problems with out of square logs when they turn to the knees. IS that why you usually turn to the bed?
So if I’m sawing our stock and going for an item width we don’t have as much of, I’ll saw the way you’re talking about. I’ll take the two opposing sides off so I can set my block thickness and rip off those desired widths from a nice clean block. But when I’m sawing Grade and I’m just trying to reduce the log into boards, i like doing the method in this video. I get very square blocks both ways:) but you’re right, I’ve seen the same thing
First time seeing the horizontal blades, are they set automatically or does the Sawyer set them?
thats an edger lines the boards first before getting hit with the head saw. so you have the correct depth and width.
I set them!
I know it probably varies with the different species, but on average how many cuts can you get before needing to sharpen the blade?
You’re correct it varies! I usually go about a day. I would say roughly 1000 cuts, could be more
Curious minds (my weak one anyway)... How often do you clean all of the saw dust and such from the machine as well as on the floor around it?
Everyday! It never ends😂
Thanx
depends on where you work lol once a week at my place we doing 40 foot oak in kentucky.
nice ty
you need to take care of a ouple off teeth way to deep saw marks take a lot of planeing to clean up my dad had a mill what do you do with that thick timber love the set up
interesting
How many rpm the big blades r running? Thanks
700 rpm’s
You said the mill was made in NH. By who? Great video
Dick Nolin
How thick do you saw 4/4?
I saw mine an inch and an eighth. That’s what our buyers like. In case you’re ever wondering, it’s noted 4/4 gets finished out at 13/16’s. If you hear about folks sawing it thicker, I wouldn’t says it’s necessary unless it’s what their buyer wants
Thanka,s, can you make video tacnical support pls.
ini pekerjaan hebat
Please include more commentary while sawing.
please don't
friday afternoon my saw wouldnt cut straight to save my life not sure if my guides are not adjusting thecway they should or if i cant sharpen my teeth correctly😅 monday is going to be fun
What species are you cutting and what pattern saw?
everything from 20 to 40 foot white oak red oak poplar hickory black hickory gum beech. pretty only know it's a 52 tooth helle set up. never is actually looked after. I just got thrown into a complete headache. 5 headblock carriage. in terms of the teeth not sure what size on the saw other then 9/32s and prob f gully holders
I would recommend starting out using a B pattern saw. It’s a lot more forgiving on what you can cut. Especially that long.
I'll have to ask the guy that bring us the bits for the saw see what he recommends. I'd deff wanna try anything. plus the usda says lots of stuff needs to be within spec on the saw itself. no one cared about any of that from what it seems.
Why so much inch board?
We sell 1” stock to the public of separated lengths and widths. However sir, that was 4/4, which is an inch and an eighth. This is all being loaded directly onto a semi and being shipped to a customer which wants 4/4 and not an inch. An inch doesn’t give them enough clean up for finishing there product
And they were mostly clear boards!
Want to see a real mill come to oregon
I prefer the technique and art to sawing Hardwoods
Omg those poor logs. You waste more wood fiber in this 20 minute video then I do all day on my mill 😂 😂 have you ever heard of coffee? You should try it.
I’m guessing you have a band mill? Guessing you don’t crank out many board ft in a day? Guessing you haven’t figured out it’s about the hourly rate?
Where is your videos?
@daviddiehl-gy2sq sorry, that was just a little sawyer humor. I might upload some of my videos soon under my new channel sawyerlogs
I was going to offer some humor too!
How would coffee minimize wood fiber waste?
I know nothing about sawmills and wonder why you don't just saw from one side to the back side but instead flip the log.
Sawing for the best grade of lumber. It’s the way the growth rings go in the boards
Slow compared to the mill I run, and you are wasting a lot of lumber with that edger and with how heavy you are slabbing.
What kind of mill you run, and do you cut hardwood or softwood?
@@Helmsburgsawmill
A circular saw, we cut hard wood.
depends on what the order is lol. I'm sure he's not just cutting to cut
Meh
How do you figure this is a 100% manual mill. This is a left hand carriage with air dogs , trip dogs on bottom, a vertical edger , all operated by electronics and computer set works. That is not a manual mill . Ive been a sawyer for 32 years and in the sawmill buisness for 52 + years. Ive sawn on a manual mill. I learned how to saw on a 00 lane mill when i was 13 . You are not a sawyer , you are a sawmill operator.
No air dogs... hydraulic. I control the carriage with a hydraulic arm. I don’t have computer set works. I control every functioning mechanism
Improve your videos, stop talking!
