Very impressive cuts for such a knotty spruce, I see why you like those carbide blades. That elbow board is awesome, it makes me think of a giant-sized walking stick! Thanks for posting that for us George.
Ha! My first thought on seeing the elbow board was a hockey stick your sister could keep you in line with, or maybe vice versa🤣 That was one nasty spruce. We have some old colorado blue spruce I am dreading milling...perhaps if we wait long enough it'll rot away 😁 John Clark will be out to pick up the turtle.
@@mcsawmill Nope. An OS23 band mill. It's method of holding the blade in place is a tension system. It doesn't sit level at it's max height, and the metal assemblies that hold my log stops aren't square to the bed. I milled 6 oak logs for my brother chasing 5/8" thick with each pass and it never quite worked out. So now when I mill I go a little heavier than my desired thickness. I want a different one, but...other priorities.

@@andysmith8544 Nate thought I was nuts when I put the elbow on my mill to saw it but he understood once he saw the elbow boards.
Wow you made it so pretty Good. What a skillful saw miller .. GBU
wow beautiful work
George you wasn't kidding when you said it was Ugly but nice slabs
@@deniscarter6613 nobody likes sawing spruce but it does make nice boards.
You seem to be on BOARD with the carbide blades, George!
@@BissellMapleFarm I'm really liking carbide...
@@mcsawmill you know.... I'm not sure I can cut a consistent 1/4" thick board WITHOUT knots!!!!
That’ll make some great siding

I have to get about a dozen more softwoods, hopefully I can find white pine logs.
That log should be ashamed of itself. It's mother should be too!
Good video from crap George.
Well I do admit …. That was one ugly log !!! Good job milling it.
You made something out of nothing. Fantastic
Want to have some real fun? Cut a spruce like that with a chainsaw mill. Talk about a headache. Lol
If making a CANT is a problem try making a COULD??
and YES I am Bruce but knot Wane
@@brucewelty7684 but then I can't use my cant hook...
Turn the log end for end
Even with a carbide blade getting accurate cuts with my mill is a struggle. It's just not that well designed for thin cuts.
@@erikleorga they are all basically band saws, you just have to get the blade adjusted right and cut at the right speed for whatever engine you have.
@@erikleorga oh wait you have a circle mill don't you?

Why are you not using lubricant on the blade , keeps blade cool , stops warping , helps keep the cut level , stops crap sticking to the blade
I was using water and dish soap on the blade.
