    I have noticed that when the logs are being milled, there is no extra cutting for length. Looking at the pile there , they appear to be perfectly cut to length and square ends. Bossman is a pro with chainsaws! Love the videos and the story they tell. Thank you Em for you details to perfection.

    I came upon your site about a month and a half ago. I was so impressed with what I saw, that I went back to your first video and I can now happily say I have watched every one. I am awe-struck by how much your youtube channel has grown. I find your videos very insightful and informative. Your father is a great man in that he is both very instructive and educated. Now educated doesn't necessarily mean higher education the school of hard knocks can leave a great impression on us. Your parent has raised a group of children that are not only respectful but have learned the value of hard labor. I look forward to more videos and GOD BLESS you all.

    No hyperbole here, that actually is the Best Log Scaling Video on TH-cam! There is also a 'old school' element that is much appreciated, using a Scribner and pen and paper, something about that just seems right when working with wood.

  • @tomjohnson4922
    @tomjohnson4922 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    this is not only the best but the only scaling video I've watched on here. I will admit I didn't know that this was the way everything was calculated. Glad I have nothing to do with it, as being an English major, I hate math.

  • @thomaskirkpatrick4031
    @thomaskirkpatrick4031 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought you put it on the mill and cut it up, didn't know there was so much work involved before they get near a saw blade. Thank you I learned something new today. I'm a woodworker, this makes me appreciate the people at mill.

    Love your Lake Placid/Adirondacks shirt! We love that area, and go there every summer. Don't miss out on a Michigan Dog at the Whitebrook Dairy Bar in Wilmington. We stay at Mountain Brook Lodge in Wilmington, which has an outstanding view of Whiteface Mountain, and I fish in the East Branch of the Ausable River there. Don't miss The Flume swimming hole just 100 ft. north of the bridge over the Ausable across from the Hungry Trout Restaurant and Resort. It's fantastic!!

    You are a good teacher, your use of terms and language is very consistent, and this logger talk is like a different technical language, and you have to learn it and teach it properly to function in this industry, good show. The best teacher is a person is teaching what they have recently learned I look forward to watching your family and your lumber yard grow, subscribed.

    Mad props to the parents n this family, grandpa to, all the kids seem like hard working kids even the lil guy was cutting wood, if the rest of America was like this we would b n alot better shape, old school family values, thats how all of us were raised , I'm n my 40s now but most the newer generation lost something, a hard days work makes that evening rip or cold beer so much better, KEEP IT UP!!!!

    This was a very interesting video; it's always great to find examples of the relevance of learning mathematics. Log scaling illustrates the relevance of learning geometry to solve the volumetric puzzles involved in measuring lumber quantities. Thank you for sharing your expertise with such clarity, honesty, and enthusiasm!

  • @kateanderson7423
    @kateanderson7423 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Please note buyers or sawmill owners doesn't usually scale there own logs.They are scaled by bureau scalers so there no conflict between sawmill and landowners.Logs are almost always laid out on skids when scaling.

    As an aside, I notice you are right handed. A while back you were nursing the right hand and did many tasks left handed. You did them well. Some people would be lost in that situation.

  • @paulsims6888
    @paulsims6888 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you have a scaling license or ticket? In Canada scaling is a government regulated measurement system with trained licensed scalers. We use alot of the same principles as you describe, but the end payment is made on the net cubic meters of wood fiber, not board feet. Logs with defects are given a lower grade and payment level. Scaling is much easier after you have sawn logs into lumber. At a glance you can measure lose of lumber production due to a defect. Good job. Keep it going. There is so much you need to know to operate a sawmill!!

    Great video of an important step in the forest products industry. I was taught to do what's fair while scaling. All trees are different and some vendors send some interesting interpretations of what a saw log ought to be. But the key to quality scaling is not being too hard on the mill, the logger, or the trucker. Trying to be right in the middle of what's fair to make a good deal.

  • @matthewward631
    @matthewward631 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @gaiustacitus4242
    @gaiustacitus4242 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You're very good at this, Emerald. The shake on the "not a lady" log appears to be about 4.5 inches, and that would reduce the yield by about 20 board feet. You did this by eye.

  • @billyrosenbaum968
    @billyrosenbaum968 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It is a challenge to scale logs correctly. In SW ARKANSAS we use Doyle scale. So many people don't understand the concept. Keep educating your viewers.

  • @d11rdozer
    @d11rdozer ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wouldn't it be helpful to mark logs that have shake or other defects with some kind of marking in addition to the board footage? That way when it comes to the mill deck you would have that immediate reminder of the defect so you can adjust the sawing technique accordingly.
