I know alot of people think boring , but I love to watch it, since I am an arborists, past 30 years ,
Mark, So the biggest log i ever moved was also a HUGE White Oak. Back in about 1994 I was hauling Timber out of the Midland,Pa area (Down there near you guys) And on the North side of town, Up on that hill that over looked the City Park. Back up on that hillside that faced the SE, Here stood this MONSTER White Oak that had been hit by lightning on one of the 3 large upper branches. There where a total of 4 large White Oaks up there within about 25 yrs of this monster, That where likely seedlings off this old oak and they where probably 100-120 yrs old then according to the Arborist that the City hired. And his advice was to remove this larger damaged tree and let the 30+ smaller trees get some sun. The Arborist figured that old tree was somewhere between 220-228 yrs old at the time. The first 2 logs where taken out of the woods at 26 ft. The butt log was egg shaped and at the narrowest point was 63". They cut it in half at the landing. And we chained it the the Prentice Loader and lifted the end up and had the shudder push each log up on to the rear of the trailer. I check to see what the guage said with just those to logs on it. And it was just under 10-K lbs. I got that whole tree loaded on the truck. And had just about 44-K from just that one tree. There was some Popular in there that where in the 40" class. And some Red Red Oak that made Vener grade logs. I wish I had taken pictures of that job. 1994 was long before cell phones with a camera.
Drama at the circle mill.... Thanks Mark, after seeing a video like this one I understand your appreciation of smaller, boring logs. Thankfully you team were able to demonstrate man-handling logs without getting hurt. Wishing you and your team a great weekend holiday with family and friends. Peace brother
thank you , great comment.
I love quarter sawn wood 🇨🇦
It’s always a pleasure to look at, and work with.
Way to go Mark. That was an excellent demonstration of a superb Sawyer. What a beautiful log and you with your talents got the best out of it. Stay safe and God bless. 🇨🇦✌️
thanks Doug.
I love watching guys work while I sit here with a cocktail.
that sounds good!
Hey Guys! Absolutely amazing! I taught Jr. and Senior HS from 1975 to 1980. Two Families owned Saw Mills, they were brothers. They had walnut for plaques and Pine for pallets. I was there! Amazing! They were not as big as YOU but I did NOT know much about sawing. I AM Amazed! I loved to watch them and love to watch you all! Thank You!
There was so much in this video which gave credible reason why you make stop signs while cutting large diameter logs. Great video Mark! Keep up the good work.
And prayers for you and your eye issue.
Don't get too hung up on your critics!!😂😂 we love your videos!!
thanks .
I'm not criticising.
I'm merely pointing out best working practice.
The working practice there would not be tolerated in the European Union.
Shop would be shut down due to lack of Health n Safety.
Mark, very impressive videos, thank you very much!!!!
That was always my favorite part when I sawed. The unexpected lol. Yes you have to stay calm at all times. You men did a fine job. Thanks for sharing the video.
thanks Jeff.
Who the hell would have anything bad to say about these videos nice work. Learned allot. Thank You💪💪
Hearing protection sir. >=85dba single hearing protection. >95dba, dual hearing protection. Add to that, eye and hand protection. It's a choice, but we need only ask ourselves what our next long weekend or holiday with family would be like without hearing, sight, or a hand. It's a choice we make.
when i was a teenager my dad and I split white oak logs to make fence post. none were nearly as big as that monster thankfully.
locust post?
Wow! Strength and endurance are impressive in the guy splitting that log. Outstanding video on quarter sawing with a circular saw. It's easy to see why quarter sawn oak is scarce and expensive.
I enjoy your vids - so normal, natural.
Mark i love the show,im disabled not able to work anymore .i really enjoy seeing how its really done.
i have cut alot of logs and you do a great job of reading each log cheers from BC Canada
thanks Keith.
oh dear, keep that guy away from the chainsaw. He just butchered that log!
Good to know your eye is doing good. Stay safe and may GOD bless.
thanks Robert.
I am up in north Canada. Used a lister diesel to saw small sized logs with the belt twist from motor to blade. Each log you saw, I smell that, and a sawmill smell, well, it's Awesome.
My grandfather established a sawmill and handle factory here in Queensland Australis long before I was born in 1964. My Father was employed by him just after he came out of Natioanl Military service in the Royal Australian Airforce. Theres an old photo of my father and crew setting up a Canadian Sawbench. It would have been pre 1960. He eventually met my mother at church and we all grew up, 11 of us, with timber in our blood. My father was a timber getting supervisor and on school holidays, I often went bush with him in South East Queensland to open gates for him as he wrangled the crews. They were great guys and taugt me a lot of stuff about life etc. Well, inspired by that, I have had a very successful career as a surveyor. I am never happier than when I'm in or near good timber country and its an absolute delight to see folk working logs into good building materials. Timber is sustainable. It locks up carbon for a very long time. The environment where timber grows supports habitat for all manner of critters. For timber, we take the upper story an pioneer species flourish below. Then the next generation of millable timber comes along and the cycle begins again. Love your work guys! Very special and memorable for me. I've been a surveyor for 43 years but sawmilling always grabs my attention. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Enjoy watching you guys
Excellent learning experience. Thank you.
thank you.
Six retinal detachments later, lasers, needles in the eyes, but thank God if only lost some peripheral vision downwards. Some unlucky people wake up and realise they are blind withe the retina fully detached. Never ever ignore the incredible blackness rolling up or down like a blind, usually preceded by lots of black floaters. Mine were attributed to my motor sports history banging my head around in a rally car years ago.
Take care and no rapid head movement from now on, and good luck with it all.
Great videos, good commentary too, somehow relaxing in a strange way.
Well, you win! I’ve only had 4 LOL! Two in each eye, first one when I was 16 in 1978. That one cost me most of the vision in my right eye. Technology back then wasn’t what it is today. The surgery’s have come a long way since then.
thank you , this is my second time for my right eye.
I have been watching you guys cut logs for a while now. I really like seeing the way you work! Keep up the great work. I hope your eye heals fast Mark!
Enjoyed watching been watching for years thank you hope your eye gets better.😊😊😊
Nice Milling getting the quarter sawing done, and nice work splitting that white Oak log.
thank you.
This was interesting. Quarter sawn creates challenges for round saws is no joke.
Thanks for sharing.
thanks Joe , that's why we don't quarter saw on this mill.
Excellent work! thank you!
Glad you're doing better and when my eyes get dilated it looks like an ice storm to me. There's GOT to be safety at a mill or a lot of funerals and/or trips to the E.R. And it don't take all day for something to fly all to flinders. Happy weekend and God Bless
thanks Lewie.
U 2, Uncle Popeye!@@markgalicic7788
Nuts319 has a good sledge hammer swing
yes he does very strong.
@@markgalicic7788 that swing that nuts319 uses is good way not to tire yourself out fast
If John Henry would have used that swing against the steam-powered drill his heart would not have quit. Excellent job.
Fun to watch good old boys just getting it done!
Hi Mark, great video. Thank you. Even when you have a difficult extra larger log, follow the process. It works every time. If a curly situation arises, adapt the process. A great video to wake up to and provide a positive start to the day. Thank you
thanks Patrick.
Very interesting video Mark. Loved the quarter sawing, that's some beautiful wood. Fun to try different techniques
thanks William.
We used to go to the saw mill up in Ft. Bragg , Ca. A couple times a year, I would watch the guys work at the mill for hours, I really enjoyed it. So much work, and hard work. So I am enjoying watching you.
Ft. Bragg, CA brings back fond memories of a lady I met there. We spent three days together back in 2004 and I will never forget her. Never saw her again.
Love watching the good...the bad and the ugly👍
😱 That was quite a shocker respectively frightening. I was happy to see that nothing got damaged. 2) Strangely I let myself distract by the two discolorations on the blade. 3) You are absolutely right, shaping down a big log with the sawmill is better. By the way: Nice to hear that your eye is better.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
thank you , great comment.
I love to see fresh cut white oak. My favorite hardwood. That is a nice looking stack of oak.
Cutting a log open is just like having Christmas morning! Each new board is a gift; it might be great or it might be a bit of a disappointment. Excellent video, fellas!!!
I really enjoy the videos! God Bless
A very worthy log for quatersawing!!
I think that was a job well done, the timber sure did look good, I hope you folks find your market for this wood, I think it will make great furniture wood.
That could have gone horribly wrong real quick. Good job Mark! You can't buy experience.
thank you.
Get well soon, Mark. Hopefully your vision hasn't been affected. Love the boom!
Another "goody" !!
One awesome show, never seen this done before, thanks for sharing !!
thanks carl.
Enjoyed the video guys. Good to see something different and some of the things that can go wrong.
thanks Graham.
People are irritated about everything it seems. I watch to see some of the gorgeous wood. like the cherry
A chunk of that beauty would have made a great mantle piece for my fireplace. Delicious.
Satisfying watching ! Calms me!
Best wishes with your eye!! 🎉🎉 Luv yur vlogs
POop on the nay sayers, You guys are doing a great job! Tough job you guys do. And you do it well! Thanks for your videos. They make me happy!
thanks Tim.
I love how the gnome went along for the ride. :D
Mark, I had detachments in both eyes, one in 1972 another in 1973, the '72 detachment left me completely blind. Both repaired and have had no problems. Have yearly check-ups. Good luck to you .
thanks Allen.
Man that's some nice looking wood coming from that log. White oak was one of my favorites to work with...and cherry.
Little bit of pyrodex makes that job much more enjoyable. I split our oversized logs in a similar way except after the score cut I drive 2 slats about 4 " apart. Pour some in. Drop a wick in. Then I drive another 4" long slat to plug the hole.
Done rite it will pop em rite in two wo any damage.
I have tried it wo a score cut, just using a plunge cut and natural seams. With good outcomes. Made splinter piles out of a few learning though lol
First time watching your channel. Really nice. My dad and I used to go up to a saw mill in KY and pick up a truck load every year. They would invariably have one bent tooth in their blade which left saw marks so bad that you had to take another quarter off when planing .
I keep watching these! Why? It is just fascinating to me.
Boom! A very enjoyable video all round.
Good Luck! And I hope your EYE keeps getting Better! Keep it UP! John
Hope Sammy Safety enjoyed ride. Have a great day Guys
thanks Jack , he sure did lol.
Congratulations on 69K! Good news on your eye!! As always a 😎😎😎😎Video!
thank you.
That was nice lumber but a pain to saw you had a problems but solved them guick nice job keep up the good work thanks for sharing.
Good job. You guys are pros. Experienced.
thanks Richard.
Real nice creative sawing to find a few good boards out of that last quarter log.
thanks.
the loader is a boss! love it!
That sure is a good cutting saw!
Chasing the tiger . Love the grain and stability . Got a 32” red oak. Going to saw it same way . Keep it real. Hope eye heals up soon .
Congratulations, finally after all this years a quarter sawn oak
thanks.
Beautiful job
Mine detached for no reason too Mark. But it's fine now. Glad your follow up went well! Thanks for the update! Be well
thank you.
hay Mark I like your setup and love these type of sawmills. wish you were local to me here in Michigan I'd run out there for a bit and see your setup up close and chat about buying logs from me thanks and be safe
Nice first quarter log roll onto the carriage
thank you.
❤️💙 I love watching these videos 💚💜
Best sawmill channel on TH-cam.
If it was easy everyone would want to do it! Nice too see quarter sawn that wide AWESOME Stick of lumber
Looks like somebody is going to get some pretty furniture. Glad to hear your eye is recovering.
thanks Jerry.
Dude twirling that 10# sledge like a toy. That’s real work.
Swinging in an arc. I learned that driving spikes on a drag line rail track. Works good so no real lifting of the hammer head. He’s a real expert at it.
Exciting day at the mill.
Love to see the old cars
Down there in severe weather country you got a lot of wind damaged logs.
Awesome job guys
thanks William.
Old but *very* true saying:
"Show me somebody who's never made a mistake in their life, and I'll show you somebody who's never made *ANYTHING* in their life."
Ten o’clock in the morning brew time bacon buttie and watching you guys , split logs for the mill as an apprentice Sthil 090 saw fourty odd inch bar made you sweat, hope the eye gets better soon todays job making square nuts 7/8 whitworth thread for a vintage machine you need a big spanner , thems nice boards coming off the mill you guys have a nice day
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK. Pleased you are on the mend Mark.
good evening andrew.
Beautiful Wood!
thanks John.
good to see the two flags flying, along with the others. Merica!
Beautiful log and lumber. Too bookoo for my manual mill. 👍
thank you.
You all are Masters of wood cutting
I know you say you don’t like to quarter saw logs. But is sure is pretty!
Hello Mr. Mark,Texas Tim here hope U-All have a great Labor day
thanks Tim , you too! Hope to see you soon!
That mill cuts faster than a band saw. But it does have quite a kerf, which adds up over time.
Nice cuts on a quarter saw
...Disclaimer...I am not a "lumber man", I have no expertise in running an operation such as yours...But...what I saw (unintentional funny) when you first split the log with the chain saw, was the outcome it would have when running it through the main saw. I do not know if you would do this on a majority of your trees, or any, or just this once for this video. As you split the log initially with the chain saw, you lost several cuts out of the middle of the tree, due to the need to true the faces of that log, before you could get any "boards".. There should certainly be another way, that is much more precise, to prevent this, if and when you find the need to utilize the chain saw operation............I enjoyed the video and want to thank you for this production...blessings to you all....
i have even less experience than you, Johncollins, but I agree! Then they put the first half on the mill, and wasted the first three boards! I would have thought that, seeing as how they were dealing with the money part of the log, they would have squared the log up after the first skim cut, and left the unevenness for the sapwood at the tail of the process!
Gotta side with you on this one.
Spectacular Medullary rays!
I enjoy watching you guys work, turning logs to lumber i also saw the safety guy on the light guard you need to have a talk whit Sammy to stay safe , HAVE a GRATE WEEKEND PS hope your eye is healing fine GOOD DAY
thank you.
your doing a fine job❤❤❤❤
thanks Harriet.
Good economy of material!
thank you for the video. good one! i've sawn logs in half with a chainsaw too. good idea.
That was fun. Thank you.
glad you liked it.
I had a detached retina on a Friday emergency surgery repair following Tuesday the other one went worst time most invasive painful procedure I’ve ever been through if it hasn’t happened to you you can never understand. Glad you’re ok. Love your channel and your mill. I found you from Andruw 👍
