AMAZING VIDEO! My dad worked with wood making things. He would cut trees we could handle and he had a way of using his table saw to trim and cut out some really nice lumber. We also had a big saw mill not to far from where we lived. He would buy culls, drops and some in the rough lumber. I know this, he made some of the most beautiful cabinets ever made. Uptown people would have him redo a kitchen with cabinets that were nicer than store bought. Many of the old farm houses, people would get him to build new cabinets for them. There is a short story here: My dad would take me with him and I have such grand memories at my age. My dad passed away years ago (31 I believe). I had stopped by to visit on my way home from work. He said he really felt tired. I said you are working way to hard. He was 79 and had he lived till May the 2nd, he would have been 80, 5 weeks away. The next morning, my cousin thought it strange when he passed his house that he was still home. He turned and went back to find my dad had passed away in his sleep. My point is: My dad and I spent many hours from little up. He was a fine father and a great example to me. To think he only had a 2nd grade education. As I learned in school I would teach my dad and actually taught him how to read. My dad gave me something school couldn't teach. We were best friends. I saw you with your son and heard the words father/son project. I'm close to my dad's age now. Please, always keep your son as part of your life. I tried to be to my children what my dad gave to me. My son and I did a huge father/son project. The project lasted almost 10 months. It was his first car. We were close but when that project was finished, the pride he had was worth it all to me. He said, "Dad you are the greatest". There isn't a time when we visit that he doesn't mention our father/son project. He could have been into drugs. He was going to school and working part time 25 hours a week to pay for his car and our working on it. I wish there were a way to get thru to fathers the importance of projects with your kids. Things my dad taught me. He could fix anything. We rebuilt that car from the ground up. I worked full time. Every other hour I spent studying on how to complete the task we undertook. DADS: You only have your children for a short while. The things you do now, will be the memories they carry thru their life. Don't waste a minute. I'm very sure no one will be interested in my story. Maybe, just maybe, someone will benefit from this.
This is so true and I say the same thing all the time. I miss the days working with my Grandfather (my best friend) and father ( taught me mechanical things) everyone is gone now. For those that have ears let them hear. God bless.
@@saltycreole2673 I thank you for your comment. My thought was if some young father were to read this: Here were 2 examples. One my father working with me and the 2nd, my project with my son. I tried to lead by the example given to me. I have seen in my son with his family, how he tries to make that same bond with his 2 sons. Me, I'm old but as I said: My son always comments on building his car. Father's Day is just around the corner. It is the time for fathers to take a look at their own family.
I'm from Indiana and I started working in a sawmill when I was 14 years old I fixed the date on my birth certificate so I could go to work they put me on the head saw and those boards were so big and heavy wow that brings back memories Davis sawmill out of Sullivan IN. I had a good friend that her mom worked there in the office and she got me my job and I've been paying taxes ever since lol
This video sure brings back the memories from my younger days. My dad before me worked in the timber industry as did most of my family. I tried a little but couldn't seem to fit in right. Still, I enjoyed going to the sawmill with dad and watching the big logs being turned into lumber. Thank you.
A lot of fun to watch and very interesting. It reminded me of a beautiful gigantic cedar tree that sat in the corner of the property behind our house back in the late 90's. I'd never seen a bigger Cedar tree than that and it was bigger around than this oak. One afternoon the owner had some people out to clear the lot and we watched them cut it down, bulldoze it into a pile along with all the other plain old pine trees on the lot, and burn it in a big pile. I couldn't talk them into just pushing that trunk over onto my property and I'll never understand why. I hated to see it go down but I hated watching them burn it even more. I don't know what I would have been able to do with it but this video made me think about it all over again. Great job getting something of value out of that big old oak!
Really enjoyed this video. As a wood shop teacher I can really appreciate that oak log. Eddie is definitely going to need a vacation after lifting those slabs of oak. Too bad for the splits in the wood.
Mark, I love watching your Videos. You put so much effort into them. You are a great bunch of guys, doing what guys like best, but I have one bone to chew on with you. I am a person who looks for the perfection in all things, always looking for a better outcome. I know you have a preference for the stop sign thing, but my head keeps telling me that it causes a good deal of wastage due to the angles you have to machine off. If you square cut the log after getting the first flat spot, you would wind up with wider lengths overall. You would also reach your 22inches much quicker overall. Please don't take offence to this, just try it out.
The Isle of Man flag is the one with the 3 legs. The motto of the island is “Whichever way you throw me I will stand”. The island is home to the famous Tourist Trophy motorcycle races. Perhaps the most dangerous road races in the world. The course is over 37 miles per lap, run on (closed) public roads and the current lap record is over 135 miles per hour. My good lady wife and I were marshals there for 10 years. Please give a shout out to everyone at Windy Corner. We are not native to the island which is situated in The Irish Sea between Ireland and The UK, but we travelled there each year for the racing. Best wishes from The UK Susan and Lynton Prescott. P.S love your channel.
What do you mean perhaps? They ARE the most dangerous races in all of the world. And the riders have the biggest “talent” in the world! Great island and amazing racing! One day I will see it in person!
The Isle of Man TT is insanely dangerous! So many riders have died, so many more have been seriously injured. And still they come. Because it's a test of skill, nerve, and above all else, courage. They set off at intervals - imagine the feelings of a rider, whose balls are tucked up tight (if he's a guy) and he's white knuckled, being passed by the rider behind! There's plenty of YT clips of a lap in the TT. Check it out if you want to see INSANE. Very big ups to the Marshals! Lynton mentions the lap record of 135mph - in the open road section they reach much, much, much higher speeds coz if they don't they're out of the picture. If you win? YOU DA MAN! And someone's done it multiple times. Joey Dunlop... unsure about that.... but so many have died, make no mistake, it's a very dangerous race. But still they come. Sorry. Off topic. Nice sawing guys! See you next time.
Mark I am a recent subscriber and I was re-watching your episode on Sawing a big Oak Log and I remembered back in colonial times that any board over about (I cannot remember the precise size) 10 inches wide belonged to the King/Queen for ship building.
I think this was to stop you pesky Americans being able to build your own ships. I am obviously English. We weren’t the best to you. We wouldn’t let you spin your own cotton in those days, you had to send it all to Lancashire. Hence the Boston Tea Party. End of history lesson. Love the sawmill.
I love logging and milling. Everything can be used from this tree and that wood hopefully will be used to build something beautiful that will last a few generations.
Been a sawmiller for over 45 years . Great setup I could almost smell the sawdust!! We mostly quarter saw over here some beautiful boards coming of towards the end 👍keep up the great work . Cheers From Tasmania
I used to work at a mill where we had an Edmiston rig just like that, only with a vertical edger and a mudsaw. I usually worked the tail end but every now and then the boss would put me at the levers to see what I could do. Most fun I ever had at work.
Thank you for more awesome content. Not sure why, but today I could really see the laser. I've had trouble seeing it in other videos. Happy 4th of July
Those are nice big boards there. My in laws ran a mill similar to this for many years. It’s all sandblasted and stored in a building on the property still. We had the diesel rebuilt last year, just need to find a 20 year old to help me horse them 2xs off the rollers!
Thank you for the video.Hope you guys enjoy your all's vacations.I realize that you all were sawing an order-would you have turned the log to avoid the shook otherwise?Appreciate Alex's agility!
Fascinating to watch. That last shim cut would allow some beautiful curved laminating wood for boat building. Greetings from Melbourne Australia. You are a great videographer too.
SUPER. Enjoing your films. Beeing Dutch woman in France (65 y) not able to come over and visit you to see it in real life. jalous... Love it, love it. I'm mad about wood,
Can you tell me where this tree grew? What an absolutely lovely piece of wood! I've worked with oak my entire life. It's always been my favorite wood! Even with the splits, all I can think of as I watch this video is all the wonderful things I could make of this tree!
Mark I tried facebook a long time ago. Started "talking" with my daughter using the old hunt and peck method of typing. After a few minutes I told her I was pretty well done with facebook. I told her when I wanted to talk I would just pick up a phone. So much easier. Well I Hope you and The Eddie Horvath have a super wonderful vacation. Stay safe and God bless.
damn that thing that turns the log is chunking the hell out of the wood lol .. well mostly the bark but yea it does put holes into the face of the wood. anyways nice vid i love seeing wood getting cut
I bought a Woodmizer LT15 bandsaw mill. Interesting to see a wheel blade mill. awesome. I love the automated setup! daaaaaaaamn boy! Gotta have a bit of coin wrapped up in that, everything of mine is all by hand LOL. Good set up sir
I'm not sure if you seen the video of where he shows the inside of the cab, but it's far from automated. It uses a lot of relays and hydraulics on 2 hand control sticks. Now it COULD be automated and fully computer controlled, but I'm sure Mike wouldn't trade the cab for computers just yet.
@@abysspegasusgaming I think I have seen quick glimpses into his cab. Just way more automated than my bandsaw mill is what I was meaning. I roll the log around every turn by hand with a peavy, I have to physically push my mill through the wood there is no power feed or crank or anything. He's got a great setup i think! I'm jealous! LOL
I will make some videos of milling and put up on our channel, Helmig Homestead! just havnt been milling much the last few weeks, work has been slammed! and still making other little videos in betwen. on my to-do list though ;-)
Great and interesting video Alex is a credit to you how lucky is he working with "T.H.E. ED" there ar 25k who would swap places with him,that sure was a big log all have a great holiday and stay safe by the way the flag you couldn't figure out was the isle of man an island between uk and ireland
Hello Mark Great video and love your sawmill. I' an old sawmiller who still doesn't get sick of watching timber being cut. Don't want to sound critical, but your drive belts appear to require some more tension on them. Belts and pulleys will last longer not to mention the wasted energy with slipping belts. Even though I'm now a technical guy for a drive belt manufacturer, I can't sell you belts as I'm in New Zealand. Happy to help from a technical perspective, or if you want to know how we do this down under. Sorry I don't have a flag to offer.
Where yall at? Im in Pasadena, MD and recognize the accent, and the mention of gone downy oshun. Just moved from SC and miss this good honest industrial stuff. Would love to come say hi!
Not sure if this was mentioned before, but would adding a door on the far end of the carriage track allow you to still be able to saw long logs? You'd be able to load them on the outflow end of the track.
I like the flags, If I had your address I would send you a Michigan flag. I wish I lived close, yes I would be the sawmill pest. Thanks, The Eddie Horvath, and last but not least Mark Galicic. Keep up the good work guy's.
@@markgalicic7788 hello, Lee Swift here. I have received the Michigan flag for your sawmill. Shoot me an address and I will send it to you. Thanks for the videos, leeswift100@yahoo.com
How the Hell you get 104 down thumbs.This is the 1st video of yours I've seen.This thing is hands down,one of the most awesome pieces of machinery I've ever seen!You gained a sub! I have GOT to go look at your uploads!Thanks for sharing,and stay safe during this Covid crap!
I was number 666 but assure you I have enough Jesus inside to offset that lord of the flies number 24/7. The oak made some nice stackable firewood. What a shame but the big ones get shook a lot and you did it the way I've always seen it done with a big log. Have to just wear it out. Hemlock was bad to shake but we don't have to worry about them anymore thanks to the blight. And boy/son and T.H.E. did an admirable job! A-PLUS! I always kept 4 boards on the lowboy for hauling the dragline because it was 12 wide and we used the flippabble outriggers outside the trailer rails and the boards sat on them for added outside support. I''m NOT on faRcebook either. Good sawing, Mark and the sound was even better! And I even saw the laser! Can't beat that! GBWYall and happy vacation, T.H.E.! I'll vacation outside and mow some more!
That wasn't the one big log! Sorry it didn't yield much lumber, It was fun watching you saw it. Have a nice vacation Eddie don't let the sharks eat you!

thanks David , all of the logs that we saw came from a tree service . that's great to use logs for lumber instead of burning them.
I see those huge 2x slabs and think about all the things I could make from them. Oak is one of my favorites. Beautiful work, well done.
thanks Ray.
How much do those 2x10 oak slabs normally sell for?
Really enjoyed this video. As a wood shop teacher I can really appreciate that oak log. Eddie is definitely going to need a vacation after lifting those slabs of oak. Too bad for the splits in the wood.
thanks Bob , yes very heavy . this tree was shook that's why it split.
love to watch this, for me its just relaxing seeing the timber break down to usable lumber.
thanks for watching.

He stop signs it because he cannot cut all the way through the log or can’t. Once he gets it down to 22” the blade will cut all the way through

You three remind me of my uncle and grandpa working at the sawmill keep up the good work please the old ways are all most gone buddy
Looks like good spot for nice sawmill all you need now is debarker and a Edgar grew up in a sawmill business great business hard work got to love it
No clue how I found your channel, but Cutting wood is so relaxing to watch. Im sure working would be rewarding as well. 😎👍
I found this interesting g to watch as i 've never been around a sawmill and learnt a lot thank you
thanks for watching Warren.
Very impressive machine and work! Love to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!

The very first cut showed how Beautiful the wood was going to be. Amazing to watch.
I can't get enough of seeing this machine working! And the bearded man must be the owner.
(from Brazil).
thanks Ricardo , we both own the mill.
That's the first time I've seen a sight laser on a big circle mill. I've seen them on the bandmills before, but not a circle. Seems like a great idea.

Nothing like I used to do
I thought about the smell too. It’s been a long time.
loved it all the way from the UK. watched the whole video...... love the commentary....
thanks.

Thanks 👍
Awesome videos keep them coming, thanks
thanks Robert.
The sound of your "Bus Engine" reminds of the old days of the Port Authority of Allegheny County buses.
they all ran detroits.

they are still in business today.
Thats a nice sawmill.
One heck of a log Mark!!
yes sir Dave.
Smooth cutting saw.... enjoyed
Thanks for the video! Thanks Mark!
,nice big log to bad all the spit wood from that ,always nice to watch the saw cut it and the sawdust fly ,thanks from the rain Yukon
thanks Bruce .
Thank you for more awesome content. Not sure why, but today I could really see the laser. I've had trouble seeing it in other videos. Happy 4th of July

THAT log is borderline firewood????? Can't wait to see what you call a GOOD log!
That's a nice mill . I really like that rotational arm. The size of that blade is enormous. I can't imagine the torque on the teeth
Those are nice big boards there. My in laws ran a mill similar to this for many years. It’s all sandblasted and stored in a building on the property still. We had the diesel rebuilt last year, just need to find a 20 year old to help me horse them 2xs off the rollers!

Big Brute of a log. Noticed one of the flag wall boards behind the saw is cracked.
Hope Eddie has a good vacation.
yes two of the pine boards did crack , that log was on the lumber kiln part one video.
damn that thing that turns the log is chunking the hell out of the wood lol
.. well mostly the bark but yea it does put holes into the face of the wood. anyways nice vid i love seeing wood getting cut
I can smell the oak sawdust from here. That's some fine looking wood.
LOVE THIS MILL!!
could watch this all day
Very Nice Lumber there

we just adjusted the drive belts , I check them twice a month.
Очень интересное видео,станок очень производителен для частного производителя.какой фирмы и как называется станок ?
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 4 Jan 21.
Every occupation has it's own science, And rules.
Very well done.
I don’t know anything about wood , lol but So interesting to watch. Thanks guys !
Glad you enjoyed it
Well that saw sure didn't take crap from anything.
Good stuff.
Where yall at? Im in Pasadena, MD and recognize the accent, and the mention of gone downy oshun. Just moved from SC and miss this good honest industrial stuff. Would love to come say hi!
Wonderful stuff.
thanks
I don't know you find the time do do all you do ! airport, sawmill, cabinet making !
it's all fun to me.
I like your saw.
Not sure if this was mentioned before, but would adding a door on the far end of the carriage track allow you to still be able to saw long logs? You'd be able to load them on the outflow end of the track.
we can still saw 21' logs.
I like the flags, If I had your address I would send you a Michigan flag. I wish I lived close, yes I would be the sawmill pest. Thanks, The Eddie Horvath, and last but not least Mark Galicic. Keep up the good work guy's.
thanks Lee , E-mail me at markgalicic@verizon.net for a address.
@@markgalicic7788 hello, Lee Swift here. I have received the Michigan flag for your sawmill. Shoot me an address and I will send it to you. Thanks for the videos, leeswift100@yahoo.com
Boss, if you think I'm going to sit here and watch 40 minutes of you sawing a log, you're absolutely right.
thanks Dave.
Somebody shattered that log on ya. Can still get some good lumber out of it. Nice work, on a big one.
yes sir bad shake.
Love that 671
How the Hell you get 104 down thumbs.This is the 1st video of yours I've seen.This thing is hands down,one of the most awesome pieces of machinery I've ever seen!You gained a sub! I have GOT to go look at your uploads!Thanks for sharing,and stay safe during this Covid crap!
Thanks for the sub!
nice mill!!!
Hey guys, I'd love to see a video of the saw doctor working on the blade. Thanks 😊
Great video thanks! I'm sure y've said a time or two. But where the heck ate you at ? State town ?
thanks Brad , Imperial PA.
I was number 666 but assure you I have enough Jesus inside to offset that lord of the flies number 24/7. The oak made some nice stackable firewood. What a shame but the big ones get shook a lot and you did it the way I've always seen it done with a big log. Have to just wear it out. Hemlock was bad to shake but we don't have to worry about them anymore thanks to the blight. And boy/son and T.H.E. did an admirable job! A-PLUS! I always kept 4 boards on the lowboy for hauling the dragline because it was 12 wide and we used the flippabble outriggers outside the trailer rails and the boards sat on them for added outside support. I''m NOT on faRcebook either. Good sawing, Mark and the sound was even better! And I even saw the laser! Can't beat that! GBWYall and happy vacation, T.H.E.! I'll vacation outside and mow some more!
yes this was a nice piece of firewood , bigger is not always better.
@@markgalicic7788 Like you said, ever log has a story. This one would sure be interesting.
It's why vertical edgers are so nice on those big ones.
yes sir.
Have fun on vacation Eddy
yes sir John.
"we're going to take a full 2 inch off now" I hope you et yer wheaties Eddie.
I had to watch it again hehehe✌️
Do most of your logs come to you as purchased log loads, or tree service companies getting rid of them for free?
That wasn't the one big log! Sorry it didn't yield much lumber, It was fun watching you saw it. Have a nice vacation Eddie don't let the sharks eat you!
we can't win all the time but we did get some decking out of it.
License plates great idea, I had an uncle that made them for five to ten years.
that's very funny . thanks for subscribing !
