These older men can teach us a lot. I'm 67 now and back in the late 70s I had an old timer teach me to operate a backhoe, a wheel and track loader, D7 push Cat. That man was so smooth with a piece of equipment. In 1977 he was 84. Work all day sun up to sun down.
I'm late to the party, I just found your videos. I love your content, I enjoyed your breakdown of your mill and how everything works; both your narration, and your subtitles at the bottom. Don't change how you edit your videos!
Leland, Thanks! Doug H was sawing that day, and he does a good job. He doesn't rush the saw, so the engine doesn't bog and his boards all come out the same thickness.... If you and Fricknjeep come down one day let me know, we'll cook up some chili and I'll bring the Power Wagon.
I really enjoy these old type sawmill videos. Charlie is older than the mill and works just as hard!! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.I have subscribed and liked already.
The “cant” is the log with the sides squared which can then be sawn into boards. The tool you roll it with is a “cant hook” (sometimes one word.) Neither have any connection to the word “cantilever.”
That's cool, thanks. We're not exactly high production.... mostly a bunch of old geezers hanging out and playing with the sawmill. It's almost more of a social club than wood cutters! But we have fun hanging out and actually do cut some wood sometimes. We cut some cherry last week that a local tree company dropped off.
hi there another good saw milling video . when this c19 is over i will come down for a visit . i hope to saw some oak boards tomorrow my self . stay worm john
On fence boards i don't do anything. On "nice" logs like white oak or walnut i paint the ends with exterior house paint to help minimize splitting. Thanks!
I'll take responsibility for that... We should have pushed them on like we normally do... But my wheel chocks were at home.... I won't do that again. Trailer welding video is next.....
Absolutely. Although, when it dries, it works great as fence and barn boards. All the 100 year old tobacco barns around here have vertical poplar siding. The roof overhangs by a foot or two, so it stays relatively dry. They say the wood is so hard once it's dry you can't put a nail in it! Thanks for watching. Wayne
Actually.... At least when I worked at a paper mill we referred to them as sticks. Where I live now it's hard to find anything bigger than 48" diameter. So these fall into the stick category for me! Thanks for watching.
That's an understatement... We do way more babbling and cackling than cutting. Like a bunch of old ladies. Good thing we're not paid by the board foot. (We're all volunteers!)
It's fricking old isn't it? Amazing 🤩
Yea, older than me!!

Yea... I'll be 65 in 2 weeks.. I hope I'm doing as well as the 80+ year olds I work with now!

I like video sawmill...❤️👍
Thank you
Fantastic video. Ole Fricknjeep could use some of your helpers. Boards look great

Thanks. Since your an old truck guy, I'll do one on my 56 Power Wagon soon.
a saws "kerf" lol

Yes, thank you. And the "cant hook" is what we use to turn/grab em!
nice job, looks like Ash
I'm not sure... looks like a tree to me....!!!!! Thank you.
Most high production, high output sawmills in Missouri still use circle sawmills, most bandmills are too slow, unless you wanna spend alot of money
That's cool, thanks. We're not exactly high production.... mostly a bunch of old geezers hanging out and playing with the sawmill. It's almost more of a social club than wood cutters!

@@WaynesWorldGarage righton man, sounds like good times. That cherry is some pretty wood.
sawdust is a good product
hi there another good saw milling video . when this c19 is over i will come down for a visit . i hope to saw some oak boards tomorrow my self . stay worm john
Absolutely. We look forward to seeing you soon!
what did you treat the boards with??
On fence boards i don't do anything. On "nice" logs like white oak or walnut i paint the ends with exterior house paint to help minimize splitting. Thanks!
I had to turn up the volume and listen to the engine hum.
I'm learning about audio levels! thank you.
Took me a minute to realize the title was a misspell, I was trying to figure out what a polar fence board was. Lol. Still enjoyed the video though.
my bad... sorry!
Now i know where the term frickin came from
yea.. !!
10:11 the caption says "the blade will ruin your day if you come into contact with it" yes yes it would ruin your day and you may have to get stitches
That's a fact
I know a guy that got into the saw - about 1975- I'll never forget
sorry to hear that...
Next time put a chain in the bed of your trailer before loading the logs ,then you can rise them up and let someone drive the trailer out....
Yes, and I put boards horizontally on it so we can fork em!
Which country is it
We're in United States of America. The state of Maryland. Thank you
Holy smokes, need to fix the exhaust manifold leaks dude
Cobra427, The exhaust manifold doesn't leak. It's a straight pipe with no muffler!
@@WaynesWorldGarage that would make sense then!
Ya the modern sawmill you say makes less sawdust but you forgot it took sixty two gazillion blades to cut a log ha ha
This mill cuts well when the bits are sharp. 100 ponies spinning it helps too thanks for watching!
Why didn't you just make 16 inch wide fence boards? Nothing says they have to be 6 inches.
16" will bend/warp a lot. And..... 16" takes a lot of tree if you put up 3 rails!
Good video and fair play to Charlie at 82 but as regards his driving expertise , no way would I let him load my trailer ffs
I'll take responsibility for that... We should have pushed them on like we normally do... But my wheel chocks were at home.... I won't do that again. Trailer welding video is next.....
Hope I lol as tough as that old fart someday
me too!
*Poplar.
yea yea yea.... Spell check....... Thanks. No more cutting polar logs for sure!!! But, we do have a lot of polar!!
@@WaynesWorldGarage Logs are bipolar anyway so no worries.
That's hilarious! Thanks
Less talking and more saw milling
yea..... we don't get paid by the BF. Lot's of babbling and cackling since we're all volunteers!
Popular does not make good fire wood the worst
Absolutely. Although, when it dries, it works great as fence and barn boards. All the 100 year old tobacco barns around here have vertical poplar siding. The roof overhangs by a foot or two, so it stays relatively dry. They say the wood is so hard once it's dry you can't put a nail in it!

Log not a stick
Actually.... At least when I worked at a paper mill we referred to them as sticks. Where I live now it's hard to find anything bigger than 48" diameter. So these fall into the stick category for me! Thanks for watching.
