I have helped operate a Chase Turbine Co. shingle mill and have one question. Who provided those nice square blocks and will that machine saw raw log billets?
Very bad! You are breaking the structure of the tree. It is necessary to prick, not saw. Then the water will flow through the fibers. And in this case, it will penetrate into the pores of the tree. Disgusting!
Not a very satisfying video. I was expecting more detail as to how the block was moved to produce a tapered shingle. I am also interested in what happens to the shingle when it is cu, where does it go?
I was part owner and one of the operators of a 1894 Frink shingle mill in NewHampshire in the 1980s.

1860 - 1900 horizontal shingle machine; possibly water-powered, not electric-powered.

What mean you by "prick"?
