sawing a big honey locust log for some picnic tables a chairs , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/ get your self a BOOM plaque.
Hey Mark, I’m one of those people that rarely comments. I think I’ve seen about all of your videos, even the black and white one. My favorites are definitely the huge logs and how you figure out how to saw them. Thank you and keep em coming!
Never heard about Saw Bits before .I thought the"teet" was velded on the saw.. I am 65 and learn new things every day.. Keep up the nice hard work. Bjorn in Sweden..
That is by far the biggest honey locust log I have ever seen. Years back I built a small cabinet out of honey locust for my mom and dad from a tree off the farm. Beautiful wood, darkens with age. Keep a sharp blade while crosscutting, really likes to splinter.
Got home from work and spent the arvo putting new saw table together. Just seen this. How wonderful. Forget and ignore the people who "think" they know how to do your job. You are the expert at what you do!
I know its not possible since you both work regular jobs in addition to running the sawmill but I enjoy your videos so much that I would watch every one if you posted everyday. Thanks for sharing this fascinating part of your life.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK. Epic sawing tonight, that Locust certainly tested your experience. Well done as the boards produced looked brilliant.
I don't understand why people get upset over cutting huge logs like that, how else you supposed to cut them if the blade won't go all the way thru.. you do a great job Mark, Eddie and ZZmark
Yep oldie but a goodie > Like the older ones as well Mark> my first house, i bought, the peers were wood> Black Locust, the house was pretty old, and i lived there for a few years, the peers were as good as the first day.. :)
Yes, I can imagine turning that one by hand, along with white pine, poplar, oak, hemlock and all 5 of us out there with hooks and poles. OH yes and more than once too. NICE grain and the saw WILL tell you what to do. God Bless!
Boy, that honey locust and the black locust in your last video produced a lot of fine looking lumber that will surely last generations wherever they’re used. We just recently removed an old fence line using black locust posts my father and grandfather hand cut and dug 40-50 years ago on our family property in Armstrong County. I don’t think we have any honey locust, but black locust grows quite well (just not quite as big); it’s my favorite wood.
Did you watch Mike McCoy? He had a similar mill and used to saw production. You could tell from the way he custom sawed, he could really make it go if he wanted to.
Hi Guys, I hooked into you a few months back and love the whole idea of real wood - feel, smell look. I missed a full explanation and showing of using the laser beam guide and would like more detail of using the thickness dial and why the changes!! From South Africa - I have a full dining room set made of Natal Yellowwood [Afrocarpus latifolius] a rare local wood, retrieved from 160 year old farmhouses and barns. I can smell the planks as they peel off the huge logs. Stay true with real wood. Keep it up.
I've been enjoying your channel for a few months now and actually noticed that I wasn't even subscribed. I fixed that now. Great content in every video.
By the way Mark, I have the Dewalt and a Milwaukee cordless chain saw. The Dewalt is a good one and is a lot cheaper. If you already have batteries for one one the cordless tools you can get the tool only.
Had a sawmill cut up a little 24 inch by 9 foot log . Turned out to be a expensive job . A small 3 inch knot dropped in the tooth space and it blew out 5 tooth section of a brand new 52 inch blade. Lucky he had rebuilt blade spent afternoon helping him put on a new blade. Its sure is sum beautiful tough wood.
If you get a cordless chainsaw, you could just hop out of the cab and zip off those nubs from there, Mark. I'm glad you heard me yelling at you about that taper before it was too late. Yesterday we saw Jeff forget to put his taper away and wound up with a really nice wedge (lol). Bill
They make a chain saw that has a cutting barrel on the end. I've seen it used to cut notches for log cabins and for carving. It would do better for that I think. 🤔😄 Love the videos! 👍❤️☺️
Mark, if you are gonna build Adirondack chairs with honey locust, you better put em on casters so you can roll em around. Those babies are gonna be Heavy!
Did you guys get a new laser? I saw you saw with the saw and I could see the laser clearly in this video, whereas in other videos it was more like making believe i could see it. Love to watch you making man sparkles.
A battery powered chainsaw is a great useful piece of kit. My lads have a Makita cordless chainsaw and are thinking of getting a second one. We have mostly Makita power tools we find them good tools although we have first and second fix Dewalt nail guns because this seemed to be the best. A big log that one.
@@markgalicic7788 We as a family have always used Makita power tools right back to the days when it was , frankly, primative gear, but we always found it reliable and effective. The boys have found the Makita chain saw very handy when up trees and working on buildings because it is light and has good run times, battery tecnnology is improving all the time. Makita gear is usually in the top three in many reviews, so try the chainsaw, it will not break the back if it turns out not for you. The secret is always use a sharp chain.
You can sure tell by the sound of the blade that is very hard wood, I have never worked with honey locust what is the density like compared to old growth oak? love the grain pattern, it looks like it would make awesome looking cabinetry or furniture👍
Hiya Mark, Great video, as always; thank you both. Loved the wood; I'd never seen it before. Is there a difference between four quarter and one inch? One of them incorporates a kerf thickness? Stay safe, Steve...
a good video to watch on saw hammering , th-cam.com/video/PVNR-yKcmqE/w-d-xo.html

thank you Keith , you have many hours watching all of our videos.
Honey locust is underrated lumber! Makes beautiful tabletops.
yes I did like it this was the first one we sawed.
GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS 🙏
TREMENDOUS SAWMILL 💪
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Two of the hardest working men on TH-cam … looking forward to seeing the chairs and picnic tables. ✌🏻!
thanks Pat , I will do a video on both.
Good to see someone still using a Hea rig to saw logs Keep doing it the right way.
Very nice Locust, honey. You did a great job breaking down the log. The lumber was MUCH better than I expected.
Another great video.
Dave
thanks Dave , I can't wait to work with it.
Never heard about Saw Bits before .I thought the"teet" was velded on the saw.. I am 65 and learn new things every day.. Keep up the nice hard work. Bjorn in Sweden..

I hope it dries flat and don't twist like black locust.
Very relaxing watching this while listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," and sipping Scotch.
Great job, you guys. Kinda like the honey locust,,I bet its really hard wood. Locust makes great posts.
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE LOOKING WOOD, HAVE A GREAT WEEK. KEEP SAFE AND WELL..
thanks Bob.

thanks Patrick.
Yes I so much agree ,there's no you tuber that knows wood as good from log to finished products 😊
Nice job on a huge log!
That was a nice piece of lumber there!
Any craftsman would love to work with that beautiful wood. Thanks Mark. Stay safe and God bless
Honey Locust makes beautiful furniture and great fire wood
MARK, What a skill you have! And a great team! Very enjoyable.
I know its not possible since you both work regular jobs in addition to running the sawmill but I enjoy your videos so much that I would watch every one if you posted everyday. Thanks for sharing this fascinating part of your life.
thank you Jim.
Interesting species of wood, virtually knot free.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK. Epic sawing tonight, that Locust certainly tested your experience. Well done as the boards produced looked brilliant.
good evening Andrew.
9:00 Why don't you set up some kind of stop at the end of your carriage rails so that you can bump the log up against it to move it on the sled?
You guys are awesome.
Good video. Sure look forward to seeing the picnic table
Great video Mark and Eddie
I don't understand why people get upset over cutting huge logs like that, how else you supposed to cut them if the blade won't go all the way thru.. you do a great job Mark, Eddie and ZZmark
thanks John.
Looking like 66.7 now. Thanks for video Mark. Nice looking log.
yes we made it past 66.6 LOL!
Nice work sawing up the honey locust. Beautiful wood grain.
thank you.
nice cutting Mark...i got a honey loc in my yard,, thats coming down soon...
thanks Ron , get it sawed into boards .
Yep oldie but a goodie > Like the older ones as well Mark> my first house, i bought, the peers were wood> Black Locust, the house was pretty old, and i lived there for a few years, the peers were as good as the first day.. :)
I've never seen a locust that large. Around here they're just small and a lot of limbs. Beautiful lumber.
yes this is rare to find one that big.
Enjoyed the sawing and the company.
thanks , glad you liked it Karen.
Merry Christmas and always look forward to your post 👍
We have black locust down south but I’ve never seen honey locust. Pretty wood Mark.👍
thanks Randall , this is the first for me .
I'm glad I know zero about sawyering. That way I can't make any stupid comments.
I’ll do it😊
Hold my beer 😂
good one.
That’s the only people who make stupid comments.
You can always complain about the taper- no matter what was cut, say they needed more taper.
I really enjoy watchin y'all's videos. Even if my mill is different, I still learn. Thanks guys
thanks Gary.
@@markgalicic7788 one of these days. I'm gonna try and send y'all a farm tag from Northeast Alabama.
Yes, I can imagine turning that one by hand, along with white pine, poplar, oak, hemlock and all 5 of us out there with hooks and poles. OH yes and more than once too. NICE grain and the saw WILL tell you what to do. God Bless!
yes for sure Lewie , most people just don't know.
@@markgalicic7788 Right!
thank you for the info
That Honey Locust looks wonderful. I could pretend to be Norm with that wood :) Please keep sharing your video's.
thanks Wes , I will play Norm here soon lol!
Beautiful lumber!!!
thanks.
Been waitin for this one.👍👍
hi there looks just like oak on the show . nice sawing john
No turtles 🤣
thanks John.
Thanks for the video
Sweet!
thanks Doug.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!🎄☃️🍺🇬🇷
Hey Mark and Eddie that log cut some pretty lumber
thanks Chris.
That is some beautiful clear wood!
yes it was.
Nice locust lumber.
thanks Richard.

yes it turned out better than I thought it would.
I would love to see that mill sawing for big production,with a big crew taking the lumber out of the way! I bet it could really go.
Did you watch Mike McCoy? He had a similar mill and used to saw production. You could tell from the way he custom sawed, he could really make it go if he wanted to.
yes it can do 8 to 10 k a day.
I love honey locust Pink and green grain like smoke I sold my mill almost four years ago but still have lots of lumber
That honey locust is beautiful.
thanks Dave.
I liked your video and the Honey Locas wood is Beautiful I wouldn't mind turning a small wooden bowl out of that wood or even the Black Locust.

Hi gents just a quick comment for you😊. As always good luck and God bless and stay safe out there.

THAT ONE KNOCKED THIS GLITTER OF THE CARRAIGE. THANKS ONCE AGAIN.
it sure did.
Wow! I thought Black Locust was tough stuff.
Great video buddy 👍
thanks Willard.
Hard stuff but great firewood
Yeah I cut and burned some!
Turned out some nice boards 🎅🏻
yes it did.

That turned out to be a nice log
yes it did.
Really enjoy your videos. Don’t let the turkeys get you down.
I noticed the Maltese flag flying proudly
Do know where Malta is and any of it’s impressive history 👍🇦🇺🇲🇹

Bill
it will be nice to have around for big slabs too , I got to watch John's video.
They make a chain saw that has a cutting barrel on the end. I've seen it used to cut notches for log cabins and for carving. It would do better for that I think. 🤔😄 Love the videos! 👍❤️☺️
thanks Dana , just a simple battery powered saw will do.
Just thought you might be interested! Keep up the good work! 👍❤️☺️
BOOM!!!
good video and job really nice lumber. take care, be safe and well.
thanks John.
Great to see honey locust. I have made some cups and spoons with it. Did you know it glows inder a back light? Pretty wicked.
yes Eddie told us it glows in moonlight.
A cordless sawsall will work just fine
That “ rough “ looking log made a lot of very nice wood !
yes it did Rod.
T.H.E."Chopper" Eddie to the rescue!👍👍😎😎 Cordless saw good! Or sharpen a Gub-Hoe/Maddock perhaps?
yes for sure Greg , a battery powered saw chainsaw will be much better.
To chop off the rough bit's a Adze axe would be easier to use for Eddy
Good evening from Limpopo South Africa. 🕘
good evening David.
Mark, if you are gonna build Adirondack chairs with honey locust, you better put em on casters so you can roll em around. Those babies are gonna be Heavy!
yes that's true but they should last outside.
I've never sawed locust, but I have sawed apple and that was really hard and made the diesel motor snort!!
yes apple is very hard too.
Honey local is beautiful wood to work with and makes great fire wood
Some locusts you can't, they have sand in the wood. Took me 5 blades just to cut one down.
That log certainly put a fight up 😂
yes it did but we won lol!
I made a norm Abrams Adirondack with red and white oak turned out fantastic his design is clean and simple and it sits well
I built several out of poplar years ago but they rotted away.
You've come a long way in a short amount of time. 66,700 subscribers. When will it reach 100,000? Nice work.
thanks Jerry , maybe next year we will hit 100k.
Thanks!
your welcome.
Did you guys get a new laser? I saw you saw with the saw and I could see the laser clearly in this video, whereas in other videos it was more like making believe i could see it. Love to watch you making man sparkles.
thank you , it's the same old laser
I'll make it beautiful!!
21:20... beautiful board.
thanks Ron.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
Lovely superb Nice sawing of honey locust log.
thank you.
Sorry kinda new here ,does that saw blade have water pucks?
A battery powered chainsaw is a great useful piece of kit. My lads have a Makita cordless chainsaw and are thinking of getting a second one. We have mostly Makita power tools we find them good tools although we have first and second fix Dewalt nail guns because this seemed to be the best. A big log that one.
I did see the Makita chainsaws , do they work good?
@@markgalicic7788 We as a family have always used Makita power tools right back to the days when it was , frankly, primative gear, but we always found it reliable and effective.

love the grain pattern, it looks like it would make awesome looking cabinetry or furniture👍
I did like it after sawing it.
👋👍
nice wood, never seen that species before, looks like it had been dead awhile and that the bugs to the outer layer.
Best btu firewood you find in vermont anyway
I hope the Adirondack chair build will be a video. I've been hoping to build a few. For starters what wood to use and not use.
for sure David , got a shop video on the way my sons bathroom vanity.
You forgot to say BOOM! on that last face cleanup right before you cut
the 2" slabs.
many more BOOMS to come.
You say you can't see how to turn this log by hand. Imagine the saw mills from the west coast back in the day of the giant red cedars.
hard work for sure.
At what point does timberbecome lu.ber.
Hiya Mark,
Great video, as always; thank you both. Loved the wood; I'd never seen it before. Is there a difference between four quarter and one inch? One of them incorporates a kerf thickness?
Stay safe, Steve...
thanks Stephen , 4/4 is 1-1/8" in hardwood and full 1" is used in softwood just 1"
I like my states flag showing at every time you saw a log. Oklahoma!
