A visual and sensual feast ! I’ve given up flying- otherwise I’d love to go there and smell the oil and the pine. Also I agree with another commenter - no music !!!!. Nearly all filmmakers put music in - so as to be prescriptive about what we should be feeling 😖. The sawmill itself was a musical instrument. I loved the way you could tell that the flywheel was doing the work - the engine just injecting little packages of energy into the flywheel. I particularly liked the engine sounding a bit puffed out as it coasted to a dead stop.
Your video brings me back to the day's as a young boy who watched the old timers work a mill similar to yours. This was back in the early 1970's, before they switched to an electric/hydraulic saw mill,where I worked in the late 70's,early 80's. All that is gone now, and, all I have of the old place and the men I worked with, are mere memories. Thank you for sharing your love of the old mill...
....I can almost smell the whole operation....from the oils to the wood.... and , to me, the machines have a heartbeat all of their own..........John (west coast, Can.)
Hi, thank you very much. I built this sawmill 2020-2022. The machines is my grandpas. He sold it in 1974 but I bought it back 2020. He died before i built this but i think he would be happy to see it. /Richard
Normaly it makes sence if you use also a woodgasgenerator to use the sawdust for driving the combustionengine. I not expect that you going back to an steamdrive ☝️🧐🤔😉
Watching this gives modern man a sense of purpose, what it was to work and take pride at the end of the day. Now, we just push papers around and sit all day on zoom calls and complain about our internet service.
Yeah, i actually use this to cut lumber and sell with good profit. And after a 8h day you are quite done.. Back in the days here in Sweden they worked 10h 6days/week as a normal worker. But they was strong back then. /Richard
It's absolutely mind-blowing how much maintenance must be done to keep these lovely machines working, but at the same time - that's probably why they are so indestructible. Great video, so relaxing to watch :D
Yes, oil and grease. And lots of it! Then it runs forever! Better with a drop of oil at the right time than a whole bucket when it is to late. /Richard
Boy, it did me some good to see some old machinery serviced and used. Unfortunately, built to last is a thing of the past. Nowadays the motto is built to last just past the warranty. Thanks Richard.
Anyone can operate a modern sawmill, if only you know a little about computertechnology, but to run an living, breething creature like this, and keep it running, you have to be an artist! Well done Richard!
Can we all stop for a moment and appreciate the sound of a large hot bulb engine working under load? They sound nice even idling, but i love seeing them do actual work! They sound even more awesome!
Beautiful machines doing what they were built to do from back when "Built to last " was a promise, not a sales slogan. Very well done video also. Nice to see you return to TH-cam.
This is a thing of sheer beauty, so cinematic! Just watching it feels like stepping back in time, and the soundtrack is nothing short of masterful. Amazing video of awesome machines and incredible workers! You've raised the bar for all youtubers. Keep up the great work and stay safe, my friend. 🙂
Hi and thanks! Yes it is very hard for me to get the time i need to make these videos now. I have all my days filled upp all the time. Glad you like it! /Richard
Every young or old woodworker should be required to watch this video, before the next time they flip a switch in their shop. They should treasure history before they think they know everything! WELL DONE!
My highest appreciation for your passionate efforts to preserve both your family's heritage and this wonderful antique equipment. This is true World Heritage. God bless you all.
There was a water powered sawmill on the farm/estate where i grew up, all long gone now of course but your post brought back some very good memories. Thank you.
I stumbled upon a 300 year old water saw mill in Småland, Sweden. Turns out it is still operational and locals maintain it, and they even run it in the spring when the water is high in the creek. It has a circular saw as well as milling stones and a machine that splits roof shingles. Almost everything exept the cutting tools is made from wood.
This was so awsome to watch! I really loved to see this beautifull machinery maintenanced and working. Also lovet the beginning of it with the simple but trusty oil lamp.
Vielen Dank für dieses GlanzStück von Video. Besser geht es kaum noch. Das Sägewerk ist eine hervorragende Maschine bedient von Menschen die wissen was sie tun. Das ist sehr selten geworden in diesen Tagen. Ich habe selber ein Horizontalgatter von meinem Grossvater geerbt. Leider habe ich es noch nicht geschafft es wieder in Bertieb zu nehmen. Viele Grüsse und ein gesegnetes gesundes neues Jahr 2023
@@YesterdaysMachinery Great stuff Richard, but I seen your hands too close to that blade, no business with your hands near that blade. Almost every mill operator I've met in my 82 years has fingers missing.
im a carpenter working with modern machinery (some stuff around 20-40 years old but still modern compared to what you use haha) love seeing old equipment like this still being used, takes a little time to start it up but it still gets the job done!
Hi, yes. I dont have to do all of this every day. Mostly i can start cutting boards within 20 minutes. But it takes a lot of extra time when im filming. A 15 min job takes one hour. /Richard
Yeah you can speed things up by adding a luber station to it you just run lines to all the places you lube before you start it an its done no doubts cause there is an oil tank on it thats see through so you know when oil is low that way you can start it up just a little faster you will still have to lube rod an crank but the rest will be done automatic with the luber but up to you it all belongs to you i guess
Without any doubt this is the coolest sawmilling video I have watched, great dedication and respect by yourself and family to keep a very important part of timber industry going, thankyou from Australia 👍💯
Greetings to you from Bahrain. I love the life of the countryside, which was wiped out in my country, and the village became a city. I love old machines, which remind me of a skilled craftsman who makes crafts with great skill. 🇧🇭🌹
Machines like this don't require a laptop and a bunch of diagnostic gear to speak to you and tell you if something is wrong. A mechanic in tune with the machine who knows it inside and out can listen and feel and quickly know what needs attention. There is really an art to maintaining pieces such as these. If you listen and feel for what it's asking for and take care of it, it'll last a lifetime or more. It's dirty and messy but hearing that engine come to life and that equipment start up is just wonderful. Watching you work that close to the blade though, man that's scary. I'm not saying I wouldn't be doing the same thing in that position, but it shows how one small slip could be a serious problem. You better be aware of your surroundings and where every moving piece is at all times or bad things will happen.
I love old technology. It's a testament to the old timers that the machinery still runs today. Some would say the equipment is overbuilt, i would say it was designed to last. Another thing i think is fantastic about your saw mill is you're completely independent of the power grid.
1st time I ever seen a finished board come off the "back " side of the of the saw blade. More like a giant table saw than a typical sawmill carriage that only rolls on the back side of the blade. carrying the bulk of the log behind the blade. The lack of removable teeth (bits) held in by shanks allowing teeth replacements. This is really OLD old school and thank you for sharing.
Hi! Thank you. This was the way Swedish mills loked like. I have never seen a American style mill here in Sweden. And we dont have them huge logs here. Take care! /Richard
As soon as you started this video by priming the "paraffin lamp" I knew it was going to be an awesome 30 minutes. My Dad taught me how to solder with a 50's blowtorch and copper iron. His Dad (Granda' Wood) always had his paraffin lantern handy, even though he had those newfangled "gas mantle lights" installed in his Council House when I was about 4 yrs old. That was 68-69 years ago on Tyneside, England. Our Scandinavian ancestry was always something we were proud of. Thanks for waking up some very fond memories of my huge family and childhood.
What a great project, I love to see such wonderful, practical old machines being well maintained and renovated for future generations to marvel over! Bravo for your love of these things!
So nice to see this. So many people turn on a switch and go make something. You have already done a lot of work before you even cut the first board! I wonder how many children today have never even lit a match, let alone a kerosene lantern. Thanks for a great video!
Really? But sure, at full power it really does put out a fair amount of light, thats no lie. I recon its a fenomenal piece of lantern. Made in Sweden, of course.
@@YesterdaysMachinery yes, All the mantles here, even the few vintage ones I have that my great grandfather had in his shop, are about 1in x 1in (2.5cm x 2.5 cm.) Also, thay don't open up like that, they are sewn in a manner that keeps them flat until burned.
why all the old machinery still works and everything that is new in a maximum of 10 years is broken. Being a millionaire is not fashionable but it shows how good you are at what you produce. Thanks for publishing this film which once again proves to us the quality of old machinery.
Hi! yes i feel the same. And i like working with old things. Heavy, oily and a bit harder fysically often but the work seems more real and the machines got more soul than a new band saw for example. And sure does live longer. /Richard
What a way to pay tribute to your Relatives, using that Mill must feel like stepping back in time & you get to work with your Father, you are a lucky Man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Richard, hope you and your family are in good health. Wow!!! I am so impressed, I have never seen anything like that in my life, I love it. Thank you so much for making this video. I collect and restore old oil lamps and burners, it is great to see them in proper action. Take care, kindest regards.
Hi! Yes we are all good thank you. I hope the best for you too. Thats nice! Yes, this one have been in the family since new. All those hours i spent moving machines and parts out from the old saw building i only used this lantern all the time as light source. And it never fails. Always works and gives a very warm and comfortable light i think /Richard
That's awesome you collect old oil lamps I do now and then buy old oil lamps and parts for a iron scrapyard to find it I have check the copper container
Very nice to see this kind of films showing a past era. The lumber and saw mills was essential to Sweden. And so cosy and humble at the country sides. An illegal shoot moose was the worst that could happen. Then Sweden was a proud and idyllic place.
Wonderful video Richard, and I'm glad to see you are still at it. Older machinery like this is great! It's so much simpler even if there is a lot more manual labor involved. Well done!
Enjoyed the video and seeing you prepare the equipment for a days work. Just bought some 1X4s here in North Carolina, USA at Lowes that had Made in Sweden label on them. Thank you for taking the time to produce the videos. You all take care and God bless.
Fantastic seeing this beautiful sawmill at work. You've created a fabulous atmosphere in this video. I always enjoy your contribution to the world wide web. Thank you very much for your effort.
Fantastic,loved the engines,the saw mill,and the tilley lamp was majic,people dont realize how much light they give,ive still got 15 myself great video well done
Enjoyed the video a great deal and I think your story is a gem. The mill is an amazing tribute to your lineage and I am sure that your father appreciates what you have done and the time he gets to spend with you at the mill and in the shop. Your content is good clean viewing that I am not afraid to show my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant, far better without a commentary, that way you have to work out what each step is as you watch. Huge congratulations for re-creating history in this way!
Love the sounds of the belts. I worked in a wooden ruler and toilet seat factory in upstate New York in the 70's. All the milling machines were driven by a large coal fired engine and belts.
What a great video Richard. It really gives a look into the past and how things were done. Great job! I am always excited when you post a video, they are always something very unique and interesting.
Wow fantastic video, thank you for sharing some of your routine. what a wonderful saw mill. Great to see the old engines working. Most videos are just engines starting and idling. Off grid the best way to be in this terrible new world we live in.
Love videos like this! No disturbing music, no nerve-racking intro ... Only pure machinery sound and genious video! Please send more of this!
Thanks! 😊 /Richard
real pleasure to see. you get really happy.
Fränt 😊
I totally agree !
Disturbing music does ruin alot of content on YT, but not here. Working with dad is also very cool.

Love the sounds of the belts. I worked in a wooden ruler and toilet seat factory in upstate New York in the 70's. All the milling machines were driven by a large coal fired engine and belts.
Some time in the future im going to build me a wood shop with all flat belt machines with one big main axle in the sealing. /Richard
So cool to actually see those old pieces of machinery working.
What a great video Richard. It really gives a look into the past and how things were done. Great job! I am always excited when you post a video, they are always something very unique and interesting.
Thankyou 👍🍻👌
Aaah, the steamy breath, the hiss of the tilly lamp, the smell of engine oil (the shadow of iphone6) Very atmospheric, wdll done.
Thanks. Not a Iphone 😉
Thanks for the update and the great job you are a great worker Thanks for sharing the video with us beautiful atmosphere without music 🇩🇰👌👍🙏
Wow fantastic video, thank you for sharing some of your routine. what a wonderful saw mill. Great to see the old engines working. Most videos are just engines starting and idling. Off grid the best way to be in this terrible new world we live in.
It's amazing to see stuff like this that still actually works.
Yes, i use this alot. Lumber prices are really high here now. /Richard

I think lumber prices are high everywhere now. Even fire wood is ridiculous. Keep up the good work!
