Why do people filming a sawmill, stand behind the carriage to film? I watch these videos to see the saw work, not to watch the carriage go back and forth.
@@wilburshuman about 0:45 into filming, camera was at the back end of carriage track. If camera man had moved to the left a bit we could see saw cutting, the men working the carriage, the sawyer doing his thing and we could also see the workers tailing the saw in the back ground. Later on camera man went to other end of carriage track to film edger and others stacking lumber. Once again if he had moved a bit to the right we could see same operation from opposite perspective with more detail. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate the time and effort it takes to film, and produce these videos. I was meaning to offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism , I did not intend to sound negative, or to offend. I love watching these vids, they bring back memories of working with my father and grandfather on his farm sawmill. I agree with your comment on the screaming Jimmies, grandfathers mill used a continental flat head V-8, what a nice purring sound that made.
@@Oldmane-420 No Offense taken mister, none at all !!!!!!!!!! did my tour tailin on mill run w/ a190 horse cummins.......... still set in the frame rails of the truck it came new in. Miss that old man way tooo much !!!
@@wilburshuman how long ago was that, and were you working for wages or family? I was just a boy when I started, maybe seven or so. First job, I got was moving logs forward on the deck so they were handy to the sawyer ( my father), then it was moving the slabs out away from the mill to burn pile, eventually I learned to run a chainsaw and became bucker, then running tractor to skid logs in.
@@Oldmane-420 About 1975, was tailin for Bob Tappen....... We were sawin some dimensional and ties both......... the story was, the truck that was runnin the mill, was won in a crap game...... I traded a wks worth of labor, for a 1959 jeep...... can in the back for a gas tank, No brakes, school bus seat in the front, didn't even have a windshield frame let alone glass........... Took 40 more yrs before I got my own mill, 1940's american #2........ absolutely wore completely out....... Made it saw a 16th in sixteen foot when i got done.......... miss it terribly !
