I worked in a sawmill on 3rd shift as an electrician while going to school during the day to get my associate degree in electrical technology. I started two months after I turned 19. That was some great head-rig footage. It brings back memories.
My goodness, those are the longest logs I have ever seen horizontal. I’m seeing a few trees that tall, but I’ve never seen a log on a sawmill that long, and I watch all the sawmilling videos I can find. Take care God bless.✌️🇨🇦
Hull Oakes Lumber Co. runs a steam powered mill in Dawson, OR. They saw the BIG log that the 2x4 mills can't handle. Lots of long and big beams. th-cam.com/play/PL2deVLDq3XCOp1GyG5CluFwkPVztWA7kE.html
It took me a while to figure out how the boards where cut to length. Notice the saw that travels up and down. Don't need 40 foot boards, but, need 40 ft squares. First time I have saw this.
I like how u load the carriage with the log turner. Being an old time sawmiller I still refer to it using the N-word but only to myself. In the early 70's the mill I worked at had a steam powered carriage and log turner.
Impressive! This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I would love to see footage that shows the operation of the cross cut saw a little more clearly. Who is the user or end consumer of 40' 12 x 12's?
@@SolidToothSawmill sorry buddy, I guess I didn’t watch the video til the end. My bad. I was thinking that people now use laminated timbers nowadays because of less warping and much stronger. But I get your point. 👍😉
I worked at a Sawmill some 50 years ago when I was 20 years old, this brings back lots of memories .
Like three of my fingers and part of my foot. Naw just kidding. Looks dangerous. Good video. Thanks!

Another great video from my favorite creator! Keep them coming.
@@SpeasTommie thank you buddy! I appreciate that!
The precision and skill required for logging like this is impressive. It takes years of experience to do it right!

Fascinating. How were the planks cut in thirds as they were rip sawn.
@@dougalexander7204 we use a pop up saw
I kept seeing something behind the fan pop up but took me a bit to realize it was nipping the boards
Very nice work and video. Thanks from sweden 🙏
@@patrikkarlsson1161 Thank you!
no idea why i love watching the saw cut these boards but it gives me wood.
😂😂
Impressive mill. Where are you guys located in Louisiana?
Seeing the outside of this place was nice
Awesome! Need more.
Thank you 👍🏻

Ha ha, I still use the n word when talking about the “turning “ with other sawmill people, otherwise they wouldn’t know what I was talking about.
@@JohnNaturkachArkansawyer here..yes, I call it a n bar too 🤣🤣
Wow, pretty sad you are so proudly racist. You're probably inbred too.
Them two guys putting them 12x12 in the other machine now there working. Green 12x12 is F$%@ Heavy. Great video
@@buckiesilas5284 yeah thats a tough job
giant wooden trunks. Used to make beautiful tables and chairs❤

Nice sawmill setup
@@JamesSimmons-pz7wn thank you 👍🏻
cool sawing ty
hi there that was interesting , john
@@fricknjeep thank you! Thanks for watching!
That's quite a stick.
Don’t know why they just didn’t cut the log in three pieces to begin with?
@@JohnNaturkach we get a lot more money for 40 ft Timbers then we do for 12 ft Timbers

why does it look like the saw is smoking?
It’s water 👍🏻
Swaged tooth head saw?
I maybe old fashioned, but I sincerely hope that the operator here has some sort of hearing protection!
We do lol 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Sound like your a democratic
I think most people with an interest in machines would far prefer to hear them in operation- instead of dumb garbage music….
You need to reposition your camera
Lot of butt end wasted timber cutting logs that long..
@@frankanddanasnyder3272 they were turned into chips. Not wasted
Always a TH-cam expert in the mix.
