There is nothing dull about this family their all really sharp and witty
Petting the Shepard, without skipping a beat
was one the sweetest moment I've seen here.
If you don't love Dogs, why are we even friends? lol!
I was a saw filer in a high production sawmill for 21 years. Both band saws and edger saws. There is an art to it for sure. If we broke a tooth, we welded another one in. You're best off doing what you're doing with those relatively inexpensive band saw blades. It's a complex but very interesting topic for sure.
Where did Emerald learn how to narrate in that clear, deliberate and seasoned way? Like she's been doing this for years... Does she prepare with a script? I suspect she must be a natural...
Probably grew up watching the tv show “How it’s made”
You speak very well and with such enthusiasm . Makes it enjoyable .
Another indicator of blade issues is the tension pressure all of a sudden needs to be adjusted mostly because the blade is heating up and increasing in length.
My in law has a small sawmill my grand daughter's don't even look out the window at it.
much respect to you.
Your Grandpa is a gem and I hope you guys treasure him while you still have him.
Emerald, couldn’t Roxy be your de-barker? Oh wait, that would be barker, sorry! Great job and thanks for the explanation. You get better and better!
Can't wait to see grandpa sharpen a blade. Made my own with bike rims..
I use to run a circle mill and when I swaged and sharpened the saw teeth correctly I would actually have to hold back on the carriage feed to keep the saw from pulling the log into the saw to fast in smaller logs , literally would self feed after the saw got in the log .
Usually would sharpen the saw twice a day , unless it would hit something .
A circle mill is a bit more forgiving with a dull blade than a band mill .
Keep up the good work and keep the saw dust flying .
Emerald, You're such a delight to all of us and so informative. You've really found your calling in life with your video production and your enthusiasm. Makes me want to get back to milling!! Veteran Charlie :-)
She's going to be a CEO
Great informative video. Love it when Roxy photo bombed the video. I look forward every evening to watching your channel
Hahahaha, "Also-also-actually-actually" I talk the same way xD Made my day. Thanks.
EMERALD: Could You do a show showing grandpas techniques and sharpening secrets...Thanks Eric and Pam
Reds, your log sawyer skills are tangential interests. The grit and tenacity of you and your family are the primary interest. It doesn't hurt that you girls are so appealing as well as competent.
The de-barker looks like a very interesting add-on to your Wood Mizer. When you get it operating, please do a video showing and explaining the de-barker in operation. Thanks, sz
I agree. Very interested in how it works
It was in operation in previous vids. I always wondered what the heck it was. It's like a wire wheel running in front of the blade.
edit: I just saw it on an older vid, it's not a wire wheel, it's like a tiny wood chipper blade.
And what happened to make it not work. Jerry in S.E. Pa.
That was a fantastic video. The blades being sharp indicates how much gets done. I noticed the 7 degree blade is the preferred blade for many others using the same sawmill. Your grandfather seems to do a good job at anything he does around there so kudos to him. Another fine job ladies. Thank you.👍♥️♥️
By golly that was almost all I needed to know about saw blades. Thanks
Emerald your as sharp as a new blade nothing dull about your presentations. .
Emerald hank you for the explanation of how important a sharp blade is, nice job!
Would love to see the re-sharp procedure.
Great and informative video, Miss Emerald!!👍 I see "Rin Tin Tin" wanted to get a little air time too!!😂 I keep praying this mild weather holds up for everyone working outdoors!!🌞🤞❤⚘
I hope we get to see some of the sharpening process😁
Would love to see a new video on how you do ReSharp and the equipment you use to do it!!!
Great cinematic opening Jade, excellent presenting Emerald, especially the way you make what seems ordinary into interesting content.💯🙂
So much knowledge in such a young person. Keep going Em and Jade! Smile.
It might be good idea to run Metal Detector Wand over log for nails or metal fragments it might save your blades.
They do if the logs come from someone's yard most trees are coming from forest
They also check when a tree service brings them logs most time from private yards
@@roberto.peterson9917 You can find nails in trees in forest from people hanging No Trespassing signs, U nails from fencing or even bullet slugs from hunters. I use metal detector wand for my game I shoot to eliminate chance of chipping a tooth.
I want to see an explanation of the specification numbers for wood sawing bandsaw blades, the width, thickness, length, pitch, tooth angle etc.
Having taken 6 yrs of high school wood shop, I have on occasion had the chance to change out the blade on the band saw.I knew about the difference with the teeth count . I would like to say that you seem very comfortable in front of the camera with explanations. Great job and best wishes for continued success .
I saw mostly white spruce and pine and it’s pretty slow going. Spruce especially. Woodmizer 4 degree blades seem to be the best for us. The wood fibres seem to open up once they’re cut and then they fill the gullet more and if you push it the blades load up and the blade starts wandering. I can only seem to get about 3 or 4 sharpenings per blade and they end up breaking after that. Woodmizer says that’s pretty normal for here in Alberta.
Very good sawmill blade explainer video, Emerald!
I’d love to see Grandpa give some pointers on sharpening
ROXY was. My first dogs name...St. Bernard/collie mix. She was a stray along the highway and RoxAnn (the Police) was playing on the radio.
Great video and good camera operator. Thank you!
Hello everybody 👋🏻another Awesome video hopefully everyone has an amazing weekend stay careful and safe 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸
Great Intel presentation on blades...thanks!! Keep up the good content..n great cinematic quality!!!
👍🦊🧙♂️🐺👍
Em, you did a great job... so good I thought you must have cue cards!
Your grandfather sharpening blades with his insight would be a great video.I have had a setter and sharpener for 20 yrs and the last time I used it I was 2 days setting and sharpening 30 12ft blades.It is no simple task.
This
Have you tried using Carbide tipped bandsaw blades ?
My question as well....
Me too, before I lay down that big money!
We eagerly await your video on the reshaping of the blades. Always a pleasure to watch your program. Greetings from South Africa.
Hello to all have a wonderful weekend
W,C, Fields famously warned against appearing "with dogs or children" because of their unpredictability. How many "takes" before doggy got the scene right? You certainly nailed it. 😀
Good job as usual
Another score episode. Always interesting on the how and what.
Looking forward to the resharp vid thanks
Thanks again for the great content ❤️
Frozen logs plug the kerf with frozen sawdust. As the blade warms, cutting frozen wood the material removed freezes. That leaves less clearance for blade thickness, resulting in the blade heating up and causing wave.
Thanks Emerald for the very info video, u take care
111 thousand subscribers outstanding
Good one EM luv watching your very informative vids,. Actually learning something lol 😂😆
Your sawyer makes or breaks you financially on your mill and whoever bucks your logs before the mill makes or breaks you there. I believe that this young lady has them in very good hands on the mill.
Em, A number one video and Jade you do a great job running the camera! You two girls do such a wonderful job running the mill I allways look forward to seeing your videos everyday! I just want you to both to know you should be models insted because you are both so petty! Em one other thing you have very petty eyes the way you put the little wings on the outside of your eyes really sets them off so petty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You two girls have a wonderful day and keep the videos coming such a great TH-cam channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it up!
That was my first job after high school. I was a saw filer. It was a great job but running them around the mill to where they were needed was a workout. Thanks for the info 👍
I enjoy your videos, thank you.
I did cut and sharpened blades for years. made a jig. and a cutter/welder clamp. you can cut out and add sections pretty easy. we could get 20 sharpenings and the jig keeps them consistent.But sometimes they just wont fix . Yur Grandpa probably has one..
I bet you can hear the difference in the performance of the Mill when a blade is giving certain issue
... I know you got this.... I have been watching long enough... Video on debarker...... I use to use band saws in metal work I understand blades and basically that Mill operates like a massive band saw...and yes I would like to see Grandpa sharpening blade's and his knowledge involved.... thanks 😎
What is involved in getting the de-barker back to working condition ?
Great informative video Emerald, and explained it well.
Um my re-sharpened bandsaw blades cut better than factory grind, But i do it myself
thanks for the vid.
more of this please. love the knowledge!
just bought my 1st sawmill for this spring.
Very Interesting. I have been wondering why you never used the DeBarker to prolong blade life.
It is a rotating wheel with Carbide inserts that clears a path through the bark to the wood for the blade and eliminates the dulling action of dirt embedded in the bark. I haven't quite figured out the 'degree as in 4 or 7. Is that the 'set' of the teeth?
Great info breakdown and looking exceptionally beautiful as well.
yes nothing can dull a log quicker then dirty bark oh man have you done one log yet and need to change blade afterwards.then you know its bad in the woods since we do it diffrent in sweden,we often use forwader and log harvester, rarly a skid loader.We load timber and drive it out from forrest not dragging it behinde a skidloader and boss man seems to be in super steep area would be hard for a forwader to operate there.Its impressive that you has the experience so you notice the small stuff
Great presentation, good info! We'll done!
Good video, thanks!
would like a vid on your grandfather,with your grandfather and you.nothing specific,just the view from the back to the front. love to you all.
Good work and looking lovely
You are a great family! All of the members work hard for the future of the company. With good or bad sharped blades stands and falls the firm. Thanks for telling this us.
P.S. Your Videos are very good cut and always interesting.
A debarker is an absolute must to lengthen the life of your blades. The turbo 7 degree blades are the absolute best and it’s nice to have some 4 degree blades on hand for extra hard or knotty wood and white ash. Do yourselves a favor and get the Woodmizer sharpener and setter for your operation. You’ll find your blades will last longer because you won’t run them as long before you change them and you’ll save money over shipping and resharp costs.
Wish y’all can show the debarker when it’s running again👍🏻👌🏻
A helpful notice :- the voice recording on your mic is too loud and clipping. Clipping happens when you are louder than what the microphone can pick up resulting in a harsh static sound.
You all are beautiful blade runners.
When doing ANY machining/cutting of wood cut quality is all about "chip load" which is calculated with feed rate teeth or "cutters" and rpm/ speed of blade. balanced with specie balanced with Sharpness. The biggest key to actual "milling" of all species pertaining to maintaining Sharpness is the use pf the debarker. It also helps to know where the tree came from. trees from heavily forested areas aren't exposed to the wind and blowing dirt as trees that come from a more open area.
Very interesting thanks for posting. Sadly things are only new once. Good job Emerald.
When you get the debarker fixed maybe in part of a video you could explain how it works.
Very interesting
I Get A Kick Out Of How You Do That Little """"""""""Quick""""""""""" Left Hand Wave At The Audience, When You 1st Come Into View On Your Videos!!!! I Think Its Cute And Innocent!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😃😃🙂🙂😇.
Thanks for the great videos. One question I have is whether you have gone in more detail regarding lumber scaling...maybe a close up of how the logs are scaled, and maybe a
comparison between what is estimated and how many board feet is the actual yield. Keep up the good work, the whole family business is truly inspiring. Ron.
A couple of things. I realize it's cheaper to have Grandpa sharpen the used blades but I re-sharpen my shop blades on a regular basis and I have a blade sharpening service that does a professional job, yes it's more expensive but the bade sharpening is done perfectly. The other thing is, if the de-barker is such an important element of the mill, why has it not been repaired ? Thanks again for another video.
Have you considered a carbide toothed blade? They are a lot more expensive, but they stay sharp a lot longer and can even survive contact with metal as long as the metal is not too large.
For clean logs, they break before you utilize the carbide..
Great video. It would be fun to see how you guys deal with a broken blade during the middle of a cut.
The little round bar that comes with your Woodmizzer you use for lifting in Jack’s works perfect slide that in between the board you cut , it gives you a big enough gap to pull the blade out
Would the guy who made your knife be interested in the old blades?
lenox and doall are quality blade manufactures ,not sure what you run ,but it might be worth checking them out...........great content
Have you ever use Carbide tipped blades??
I love the the 9 degrees you look cool show it😂
Yes show us how you resharpen.
De-barker's down! Roxy, it go time girl!
what happens to the dead blades? do you you take them to the village blacksmith and make new knifes and axes? have you ever tried to re-temper a resharp to make it cut better?
So, why isn't the de-barker not working?
Young girls that work and know what the hell they're talking about.
Young girls in our country sit on their phone all day and night with their hand out. And they say they hate men but need men to pay for their none work position.
Your local bladesmith might buy your old blades.
Is there enough adjustment in the blade tensioner so that you can cut out a chipped tooth and then weld the blade back together?
I was still a bit confused about the "angles" in the blade and found the below from WoodMiser on all things blades. The angle description starts at 4:00
th-cam.com/video/PFLRYfAnExY/w-d-xo.html
I've watched a bunch of these and never quite understood what the de-barker actually did. Now I know.
What's Wrong with the debarker? Can it be fixed?
Hi,good old gramps.Does he sharpen the blades on a machine and set the rake on them ?
👍👍
Her face in the thumbnail picture, and the eyes.............. and holding a bandsaw blade! You go girl.
Please do sharping video was the Grandpa, I am in the time where I need to buy a sharpener and understand it. Thank you
