    Talk about multitasking Ian! I can’t imagine how many equations are going through your mind at any given moment? Love watching your videos. I must say that I do feel for the boys tailing out! Working up a sweat 😅

    I really like the poplar! The contrast between the sapwood and heartwood is really neat in my opinion!

    No wasted motion in the cab which means you get in a groove and produce tons of board feet, thanks for the video sir

    The top and bottom saws are perfectly aligned. The camera angle gives us an optical illusion of misalignment.

    There was a time when I would have bought every of those wide Green heart boards.
    The 3rd log was what I used for what I called a one board chest. It only took one board to make the entire chest.
    5/4 was preferred but a plump 4/4 worked.
    Some preferred EWP but I liked Tulip.

      @@Helmsburgsawmill The only thing I see as a challenge is where the top saw meets.
      Almost no sense leaving wood on past the top of the Bottom saw.
      End users would have to trim and toss it away IF, it does not plane surface out flat.
      And even if it does, there could be finishing issues (discoloration) right at the step out.
      What is the full width to the top of the Bottom saw?

    Fat logs make for easy sawing. Not hard on the head and easy to plan the next cut.

  • @johnmcgarvie4061

    The vertical edger is a useful tool. On big logs It makes the first cut slab a lot smaller by reducing it into two or three pieces which slip thru the chipper with ease and not jamming the throat of the chipper.

    They are beautiful Poplar logs. You're really good on the controls in the cab Ian.
    Is the overhead blade deliberately positioned so it's not inline with the main saw blade. You see on the very large diameter logs that there's about a quarter inch lip on some of the boards.

    • @Helmsburgsawmill
      @Helmsburgsawmill  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes this is something I’ve addressed at point in the past!! So the saws are in line! The top of the head saw blade, swims in and out of the cuts, based on sharpness and feed rate. I have certain videos where that lip variates in depth more, throughout the lengths of the cuts, and I point out the swimming

    Wieder ein guter Film. Beim Säge Bild der breiten Schnitte kommt es mir so vor das die Sägeblätter nicht plan eingestellt sind . Es sind Abstufungen bei 2:29 und bei 40:44 zu sehen. Mindert das nicht die Qualität der gesägten Bretter?

      If I’m in non frozen logs, roughly 120,000 feet!

    The filming of the cab drove me crazy. You use those buttons on the right on every log. And, you use your left hand! do it! I think I pay anything to rearrange that part of the operation.
