Dunnage is a standard term in shipping for the Timbers and other materials used to stabilize cargo.The term goes back to the days before standardized containers when bulk cargo was made up of crates, barrels, sacks that were liable to shift during the voyage. Dunnage was used to secure the cargo.
In the Army, we used the term dunnage for the boards required to lift materials off the ground when stored. Best for things that tend to rot, like canvas tents.
Dunnage is a pretty universal term. This video only scratches the surface of sawyer talk but I'm still sending it to my bosses so they know wtf I'm saying when they stop by.
@@ronsamborski6230 Totally agree. These are beautiful intelligent sweet girls who are not afraid to get dirty doing a mans job. They are very impressive to me. I am shocked they don't have several hundred thousand subscribers
Saying four and holding up three fingers at 1:10 shows you have spent a lot of time around people who work with saws. I used to work in store selling cabinet hardware, wood finishing supplies, and hardwood veneer and lumber. It was amazing how many of our customers were missing fingers. Be careful!!! Don't want any of you hurt.
Dunnage is a Shipping term for cargo padding used in a ships hold but we all use the term. Anything used to protect your product from ground or surface damage!
When producing veneer, flitch has an additional meaning. This kind of flitch is the piece of a hardwood log ready for slicing into veneer - like a cant is for boards, a flitch is for veneer. And the resulting leaves of veneer are then bundled into a package in the same order they were sliced off the flitch - called flitch order. This makes it easier to arrange the veneer leaves into different patterns - like book-matched or slip-matched. Plywood veneers are different - they are usually peeled off a rotating log in large sheets of thicker veneer. That's the stuff that gets made into sheets of plywood.
Yep the last item was the most important in the steel mill and the army. But thank you for the lesson! Now get to work before the boss catches you! LOL
Interesting video. The terminology is something you take for granted but thank you for running through all the terms you use. The weather looks good there for a change
I thank you and your fantastic camera operator for this trermology video. I personally thank you for your side ways thought of the coffee. Your very welcome.
LogRite makes great quality cant hooks in various sizes, including those with extra long handles for more leverage. Your second tool is called a pickaroon. Unless there is some Pa accent in there that I can't quite make out.
P.S. there is a Giant Woodchuck hanging around your Wood Yard, that's where all of your Stickers are going to. He's building an addition to his Mansion. 😃😉😎🤗😇.
Actually we mostly figured most of the things out, but it was nice to see your smiling face explaining your tools to us, am also glad to see that you had four fingers.🥰👍 would really like to come and see your operation, we live in Michigan so would be a summer trip but will put you on the bucket list!
Love your videos! My grandfather used to run an old circular sawmill with my 3 uncles. It is still all there but hasn’t been used in many years. The scraps that come off of the edger we have always called edgings up here in northeast Vermont. Keep up the great work!
you just keep getting better and better, Emerald. always organized and informative, but lately you have relaxed a lot and there's so much more enjoyment in your style. makes for a fun time. i find myself chuckling during your videos now...a good thing! thanks for all the work you do making this site such a nice place to visit.
I really enjoy your videos because I have used all those terms and tools as I had a small home log mill that I used regularly and I spent many a year logging, milling and grading and packaging lumber here in the Pacific Northwest... Oregon. I always wore gloves, I know you choose not too but I did mostly because of all the pitch that you get with soft woods like Douglas fir, pine, spruce etc. plus the plethora of stains that nearly all hardwoods can transfer to your hands. Great series of videos you are making with your family, I really do enjoy them. Dunnage makes great wood working project wood as after years of use it's pretty cheap to acquire and use for home projects. People often recycle pallets for such things. You, young lady, speak my language quite fluently.
I've also heard "flitch" used to describe the set of logs cut sequentially from the same log. Often useful to know for cabinet makers when trying to match wood for the same piece of furniture.
Dunnage is used in many industries, especially ironworking, and it's used for the same purpose, to keep material off the ground to allow equipment and choker access by hand for cranes, etc...
In Ontario Canada, a pickaroon. In French, un sapi. I believe the distinction between a can’t hook and a peavey is that a peavey has a spike at the bottom end. However, wiki says that Mr Peavey’s real contribution to the tool was to replace a cant hook attached to a ring that slid onto a pike pole with a can’t hook clamped to the pole. Using only can’t hooks and peaveys, the old time loggers would roll huge logs up inclined poles to create
Emerald. you teach me something new every time I watch you. I liked the last sawyer term, the Thermos, for us coffee drinkers all the sawyer terminology wouldn't matter because without coffee nothing would get done. LOL.
Emerald, you should see if you could cut a deal with the maker of your coffee container to pay you to mention it 'on air'! And they could say on their site that it's the 'official coffee vacuum container of the Lumber Capital Log Yard'. Also, very smooth camera work by, I assume, Jade!
So,I guess instead of saying we are going to sticker the wood that's on the trailer,you would say we are going to slatter the wood that is on the trailer. Right?
Emerald, thanks for the education for I am not familiar with sawyer terminology. Nice job explaining, it was easy to understand. You are producing very good content. I look forward to each video!
Can't hooks are also peavey poles , and if it's got a "T" welded to it , they call that a Timber Jack. It keeps the logs off the ground while you buck them up a chainsaw.
My friend with a woodmizer would use any old piece of scrap as a sticker. I talked him into actually sawing his stickers. I told him they had to be exactly square or obviously wider on one side. He sawed hardwood and was getting a lot of sticker stain from using ugly stickers. Yes, stickers do evaporate somehow. The one tool you showed we always called a pickeroon. We always had a peavey on the landing in the woods, which is like your cant hook with a sharp pointed end. Dunnage refers to anything to keep a load in place, but your usage is correct, at least I would know what you meant saying that. I was an Adirondack logger many years ago.
Hello Emerald. Another spectacular video with impeccable production values and your woodworking skills are astonishing, Thanks so much for sharing and stay safe. 😊😊
Pacific Northwest sawmill guy here. Cant Hooks are called Pee Vees or Peaveys. Pickarolls are called Pickaroons. Edgings from the Flitches we called Slivers. Dunnage we call Blocks. Your not wrong, just letting you know what our terminology is on the Oregon coast.
Cool. Great vid. Dunnage is a thing! great description from old possum in the comments below but You forgot the technical term when you accidentally forget to screw the lid properly on your thermos and the coffee goes cold😆 ( it's a mongrel )
Interesting seeing what a difference the Appalachian Ridges make come the fall colors. Two hours southwest and about 2/3 of our trees on the hills have changed and only about 100 feet higher in elevation. But more importantly, awesome video on a beautiful autumn day.
Thanks for the tutorial Emerald. I've been wondering about the term "swamper"/ "swamping". I think it refers to the person assisting the sawyer, removing the pieces of lumber after they are cut from the logs being milled?
Emerald! Dunnage is correct! We use them in the trucking industry all the time! Same use, but on a truck flatbed!
Dunnage is a standard term in shipping for the Timbers and other materials used to stabilize cargo.The term goes back to the days before standardized containers when bulk cargo was made up of crates, barrels, sacks that were liable to shift during the voyage. Dunnage was used to secure the cargo.
People that work in shipping material yards often call them stickers as well.
Yeah I worked at a lumber place that made custom door and window framing and they used the same words for the exact same thing.
Peace and Ahev
Yep, here in New Zealand dunnage is the term we use for timber packing used as described in the video.

Isn't that a punch line to the old joke, " How does a carpenter order 4 beers? ... Holds up just 3 fingers. Sawed off his index finger.
There's a lot of old mill worker called Lefty also.
Emerald's reddish hair looks nice with the blue plaid shirt
The power of the thermos😊
Good one Emerald!
I don't think Emerald has done a vid without breaking out the coffee.
Sometimes the simplest tools are the most used.

I keep old fence posts for dunnage
I've always called that a pickaroon. Thanks for all your hard work.
A little chuckle when Emerald said pickerel. Something smelled a little fishy about that term. 🐟
You're so funny! I love watching you Em!

I like seeing I’m not the only one who can’t keep track of the stickers!
75.1 thousand subscribers outstanding to everyone always wonderful information as well
I’ve heard it called a pickaroon also. Awesome terminology class.
Same here.
Hair and make up look stellar. Thanks for the glossary. Jim from Leesburg Virginia
Up here in the Norhtwest we call that first tool you showed a Peavey. Love your videos!!
Very well done Emerald and I love how you have so many pants belts
The one tool is actually called a pickaroon. There is also a similar one called a hookaroon.
Its amazing how knowledgeable Emerald is yet so humble Boss man did one heck of a job ! Even of she threw your welding skillz under the bus
Yep the last item was the most important in the steel mill and the army. But thank you for the lesson! Now get to work before the boss catches you! LOL

Lovely hearing you explain the different things you use, or cut off.
Have a great week ladies. 🇬🇧

Good job, "Red Bird" (thank Sami for that.) I always get flitches and slabs mixed up. Now I have it straight!
that's MY Emerald....video starts and SHE AREADY has the coffee IN hand......ON POINT....rock on Harrisburg's finest....
Emerald, thank you for doing a video on the verbiage of your craft it was very helpful to know the correct name of things.
Nice job, Emerald, on explaining your sawyer terminology. Thanks.
You look very young but come across more succinctly than many with decades of experience would. Great job!
Always nice to learn technical Terms from different Professions!. Your Videos are great, I love watching them 😊👍
I expect terminology varies from place to place but in general they are similar. You ladies did an excellent job as always. Thank you.👍👍
We call stickers fillets here in New Zealand. Great explanatory vid Emerald.

Thank you Emerald.I needed that!
Be safe and stay aware at all times.
LOL! Most important tool in the yard is the coffee thermos! Bet that cant hook has seen a lot of action.
I've also heard "flitch" used to describe the set of logs cut sequentially from the same log. Often useful to know for cabinet makers when trying to match wood for the same piece of furniture.
Cant hook is called a Peavy in Oregon.
Dunnage is used in many industries, especially ironworking, and it's used for the same purpose, to keep material off the ground to allow equipment and choker access by hand for cranes, etc...
It can even be packing material such as paper, bubble wrap, cotton batting, etc. according to the Google definition.
I use a Peavey instead of a Cant Hook because I can get more leverage in some conditions.
Hard working people at the lumber yard, bless you all.
Thanks for the tutorial, and you're beautiful doing it! God bless!
What a beautiful fall day, and lovely girl, years ago Restless Heart had a song about a girl like you- Sweet Auburn
A thermos flask will keep hot drinks hot, and cold drinks cold. The real clever part is .... how it figures out what you've put in it!
Another punch line to an old joke. ... "How does it know?"

their brag loads of logs on sleighs.

Good basics on lumber!
Great video 👍 you also don’t want to put boards, lumber on concrete it will absorb the moisture and warp the wood
Emerald, you should see if you could cut a deal with the maker of your coffee container to pay you to mention it 'on air'! And they could say on their site that it's the 'official coffee vacuum container of the Lumber Capital Log Yard'.
Also, very smooth camera work by, I assume, Jade!
Yeah "Dunnage " is what we call it in Australia .😃👍
What you refer to as stickers - I have always heard them referred to as slats. Drying lumber is slat stacked to allow airflow around all sides.
So,I guess instead of saying we are going to sticker the wood that's on the trailer,you would say we are going to slatter the wood that is on the trailer. Right?
I really enjoyed your video today!! I really appreciate you!! 😀 ❤️!
What you call a pickerel we call them a picaroon or hookaroon depending on the length.
Emerald, thanks for the education for I am not familiar with sawyer terminology. Nice job explaining, it was easy to understand. You are producing very good content. I look forward to each video!
The pickerel would be great to have in the zombie apocalypse!
