When I go to cut planks or even firewood on an old tree, I always use my metal detector on it. I have seen the results from metal "shrapnel", wire pieces, and chain pieces going into an unprotected face & body. The ER is a lot more expensive than the time to check the log.

I agree with the posters on this story. I worked in a sawmill in Burney California. We had metal detectors that picked up metals until the temperature dropped and the logs started freezing. One night at about 2:00 am the quad saws that are band saws with blades that went under the saw deck and were about 30 feet long, slammed into railroad spikes. With nothing moving and the blades now locked inside this frozen metal-filled log we were shut down. The rest of the saws on the deck started freezing up as the water used to cool and lube the blades froze up. It made for a spectacular fireworks display but caused a lot of unnecessary damage and loss of work because many went home while the millwrights went to work with chainsaws carving out the quad blades.

I've been in the lumber industry for 30+ years. Saw filing is my trade. Over the years I've seen everything from chainsaw files, treestand steps, armor piercing bullets, archery broadhead, ceramic insulators, model T crank, and the largest was a wagon wheel. They are very hard on saws. Great video

Worked the Mt St Helens timber blowdown recovery after the 1980 eruption. In 1982, the timber salvage started in the area.. That fine pumice ash would dull a saw chain just like running into a piece of steel buried in the wood grain. Nothing but smoke from the cut line, then the chain is fully dull. Time to swap out. 10-11-12 chain swaps later, the day would then end. The industry answered back and carbide tipped chain tooth was introduced. The first time carbide tipped anything was used for consumer use, but not for consumer purchase over the counter. The saw chains had to be dropped off at a special grinder equipped shop to be properly ground, since they had the carbide tipped teeth. All chains had to be accounted for. We would pick the chains up the next day, before we headed into the blast zone. Some very long hot summer days in that exposed lunar surface, with zero shade. I earned every dime, and made quite a few. Shoveling out the base of each blown down tree, of all the ash and debris, to be able to cut it long enough for the mills. It lasted till about 1984. Even then, TONS of worn out carbide tipped chain was tossed into the recycle bin.

I remember my dad (a logger from the old days) talking about milling logs with railroad spikes and the dangers of it. It was found (at least in our area) to be the work of environmentalists. They would drive them into the trees in the hopes of preventing logging. They would also fill the gas tanks and lubrication systems of the heavy equipment with dirt and other junk. What’s funny about all this is my dad was a sincere protector of the environment, he always recycled everything, used old instead of buying new, never cut down trees for Christmas and knew the importance of management to keep our forests healthy. The environmentalists never stopped to think about who they might hurt by their actions or who might lose their husband, brother, father, son, or friend. It was always a worry of mine. Your video brought these memories flooding back. Stay safe boys! ❤️

It’s crazy what can be found in old trees and this video proves it. Congratulations on overcoming the huge staple! Greetings from the USA!

В конце года делайте короткий обзор подобных находок, интересно посмотреть, сколько вы всего находите. Удачи!

in old times, all kinds of trees leave metals. Phones hooks power hooks. Sometimes metal shards. I always have a metal detector check the trees before sawing.

Пацаны-молодцы, настоящие профессионалы, любо-дорого посмотреть! Успехов!

No safety glasses…………brilliant !!!

This is a great example of why we always check our logs with a metal detector before we start milling.

That is a bloody genius level way of cutting slabs. First video I've seen on your channel. Definitely worthy of a sub.

То что скоба там оказалась это не так важно,а вот как она обросла не оставив следов,это вопрос🤔!!!.

Trees have hidden secrets that been inside them for years. Until the day they are taken down they are discovered by accident. Then the mystery how did it end up in the tree in the first place that wouldn’t ever be discovered. Always be a story handed down throughout the years.

Incredible relics from the past sealed in the trees. I get the frustration and horribly hard work to make a tree into usable lumber. We’ve done in in our back yard from red & white oak and ash. All 80’+ tall trees. Thanks for the video and the honesty of how hard this proses came be. ❤❤

Now that's a staple! Some days you saw the log and some days the log saws you!

A horseshoe was attached to a hickory tree to tie up horses on my grandfathers yard. The tree grew over it. When the tree was removed many years later my dad warned the cutter about it. I have found bullets in lumber when planing boards to build cabinets.

Respect for you all as you got the job done before stopping, despite the aggravation of the unexpected.

Браво земляки!!!👏👍🔥🇧🇾

For over 30 years I have been watching a tree grow around a sign that was nailed to it, and only one inch is exposed at the bottom. When that sign gets fully covered, and then some, it might get cut down some day to get cut up. And people will wonder how that grew in side the tree! I have only had old fence wire inside trees I have cut for firewood, and that is bad enough for my chainsaw...

I once saw a horseshoe embedded in a tree. It had been hung over a small branch when the tree trunk was small enough for the horseshoe to nestle around it. The tree grew around it by many inches. Tree diameter was about 16 inches.

Засада. Парни как вам идея металлодетектором бревно прозвонить 😁

So I'm curious, I never actually heard them say what the item was. It looked like a logging staple of maybe a small log dog. I live in PNW and hear stories all the time about different items similar to these found inside trees. As a telephone and fiber optic lineman I would see tree branches that just grew around communication cables and messenger wire but the line still worked just fine so all we would do is cut the branch on each side and leave the burl hanging in the air still surrounding the line. It's pretty amazing how trees will grow around and consume things such as these.

Wow!! That was amazing! Nothing stops you guys!! Great job!😁

Вам на такие случаи нужно лапу железнодорожную иметь для костылей, у неё рычаг большой.

this is always a big risk with trees sourced from around human occupation. I have found nails, bolts, pipes, plumbing fixtures, barbed wire and bullets in logs. It has made me question whether milling logs is worth it! You guys have the drive and work hard, you definitely earn every foot of lumber you cut.

Земляки, отличная работа! Потрудились на славу, сам знаю как бывает тяжело когда попадается какая нить железка при распиловке... Я со своей командой занимаюсь сносом домов под ключ и работа с пилой нам очень знакома) Всего Вам доброго и развития каналу!) Жму руку!

Ну ни х... Вам "повезло"!!!! Так специально не придумаешь!!!!! И однако вам респект, братишки!!!!

Вам нужно собирать коллекцию из находок 👍🙂

Gives the wood character. Part of its story.

Not a pair of safety glasses to be seen. If, for nothing else, the saw dust.

I laughed way too hard at your frustration. Only because I've been there so many times myself.

Used to work in a furniture making factory in the uk, and the rough cut wood was from mainly Germany and other European counties. Was quite common to see bullets and lead embedded into timber. Took the teeth off a few times as I remember.

I am totally impressed with these guys. Being able to repair, maintain, and be safe with these machines. I get paper cuts all the time.

Wow! What a pain for you guys! Kudos for your determination!

I cannot believe he grabbed the blade with the engine running. I dare say the lock was on but....

That's something that was impaled into it some 50-100 years ago. The tree grows over it and it's now inside of the tree. This is why it's important to just not leave things on trees and forget about it.

If you don’t set the pull cord properly when engaging to the flywheel. you’ll rip that thing right out. Bring gentle to the saws goes a long way

9:30, нихера себе, заточка цепи! Да ты просто монстр 100-го уровня! Двести лайков!

Amazing what's in logs,we've found everything from nails to rock drills and everything in between. Everything from missing a few teeth to saw explosion.

Always enjoy your videos 👍

Почему так волнует Казалось бы несложное действо - распил? Да потому, что это ТАЙНА , скрытая тайна вековой красоты природы и совместного с ней наше сосуществование ! Как ЭТО не может нас не волновать !!! Парни спасибо !

Had this happen once very similar to this. It was an old rail road spike. Also found a tree that had a metal ring around it from an old wooden barrel. Crazy stuff happens. Looks like some chain work.

Сюрприз неприятный. Похоже на самодельную скобу, судя по заострённым концам. Что и говорить, нежелательная находка. Всем крепкого здоровья!

I am a wood worker but have never sawed boards or even cut a tree down for lumber. I do remember sawers saying that trees cut down close to a place called Bentonville, N.C. were avoided due to the many bullets found in the lumber. There was a Civil War battle faught there.

Свыше 200-т лет назад ЛЮДИ занимались какой-то работой и вбили в молодое дерево скобу. Судя по тому что не вытащили, было не до этого. Историческая ценность. Не мешало бы анализ стали сделать.

Вот у меня вопрос - а метелоискатель железо в дереве найдет?

В прошлое лето на диком отдыхе захотелось баню по черному. Т.е нагреваю кучу камней в виде топки и пока все это греется делаю каркас из тонких сухих сосен обернув все это дело баннерами. Обычно в машине возил банку с гвоздями и саморезами. Но в тот раз решение пришло спонтанно и банка как назло была забыта в гараже при сборах . Но это не оказалось проблемой. Вооружившись пассатижами и отверткой пошел лазить по стоянкам осматривая деревья. В итоге за час надергал и навыкручивал столько всякой хрени из стволов что еще и с запасом вышло)) в основном черные саморезы китайцы и гвозди размером 80-100 мм. засаженные под веревки от палаток,тентов и умывальники. И это все метров с 300 вдоль берега озера.

Awesome Teamwork! 👍

Desde argentina los veo!!! 💪💪💪💪💪 Sin unos genios chicos, sigan así

Old blacksmith forged! The dangers hidden in time in old growth timber! Blessings and best wishes to you! Hard work!

Спасибо за видео!) Успехов в делах!

Well that'll add some labor to the day bringing your tools back up to snuff. Was surfacing some shelve material for a built in bookcase and noticed a shiny silver spot after it came out of planer. Bullitt. Kept it in there. Customer loved it.

Шокирующая находка 👍

Can tell this guy is a carpenter, the way he's banging on the piece in the wood.

weld some chain to that metal stuck in the Log. Now use a car jack with chain and hook connect and ease her out, Briddy UK.

Вот это находка. 😉👍

You guys are masters of wood! Love your videos. Thanks.

Я смотрю и шок ловлю... ЧТО ВЫ ДЕЛАЕТЕ?!(... Что нельзя было лестницу сразу снять?

Как оно там оказалось. Просто. Кто то когда то вбил скобу когда дерево маленькое было. Дерево росло и обросло скобу.

We've had wire fence, bullets, and a stainless steel rod that grew into the middle of an oak tree. I guess they never think the tree will die.

I owrked in wood industry for some years. The biggest thing we found was a complete very old extinguisher completely ingrown in an old tree! Other things like bullets, shrapnells from WW II we found much often. One day we cutted an incendiary bullet and a we had a jet flame over our frame saw.

I would love to have a slice with the metal in it. It must have been there for a pretty long while. Beautiful wood.

Артефакт из прошлого... Мой дядя тоже находил много разного в стволах, когда занимался СПИЛом деревьев по населённым пунктам и частным дворам.

quite a learning experience. thanks for sharing a really great video.

I can remember about 15 years ago a wood stove exploded in a nearby town. The suspicion is that somebody left munition in the tree in WW2 and the tree grew around it.

Admire your skills and determination! Just a small safety suggestion--please wear protective goggles to keep your eyes safe!!! 😊💖

Cutting up two hundred year old oak that fell in my yard, i hit metal, I cut around the area then wedged that area with the metal apart in chunks, what did i find? A horse shoe in the middle of the trunk, I dont know if it had grown up with the horse shoe around the then new tree or maybe a tornado implanted it.40 years later it's still sitting out on the porch half buried in the wood that i left around the shoe for proof.

What happens to most of the slabs that you saw?

That’s an absolutely HUGE staple!!! That held up a T-REX 🦖 fence 😂

I don't know what stopped my first saw dead in it's tracks but I'm going to try and cut through it with my 2nd saw without wedging the top plank and no eye protection !!

Had this happen a lot. Fence wire. Fence Staples. Bullets. The worst was a hinge pin for a gate hinge.

My grandfather used to own the entire Pickett's Mill Civil War Battlefield, 6000 Acres. He and his cousins decided to cut down a few large hickory trees for lumber. They ruined 8 big saws in one day trying. They hit imbedded Cannon balls. He sold the entire property to the State of Georgia as it was the last untouched Civil War Battlefield left in Georgia as well as the rest of the US. He got 50 cents per acre. The State of Georgia used only 4 acres for a park, then corrupt politicians sold the rest to land developers. The 1/4 acre lots were sold to homeowners for $50,000 to $250,000 per lot. My family got screwed. But a little Karma got them when they tried cutting down the old hickory trees and broke several large chainsaws. A couple excavators and bulldozers also were severely damaged when they struck unexploded but still live Parrott Artillery Shells. 😂

Сейчас лесники специально штыри по вдоль ствола забивают, чтобы дерево не спилили. И даже иногда табличку вешают.....

надо возить с собой хороший гвоздодёр.удачи.

Szacun Panowie Jaka grubość deski??? Pozdrawiam

In the old days farmers would sharpen the ends of horse shoes, pound them into trees so they would have something to tie their plow mules to. Eventually the tree grows around it.

Rough day, good thing you don’t have them often.great video as usual.you will overcome.just keep doing what your doing and thinking.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Just couldn't figure how the staple got there Unless it was put there when the tree young But you got it good going Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

Reminds me of the stakes they used to tie off horses. My neighbor had some in their old trees from the old fair ground days here.

Ребятки, сделайте на всякий случай клин из какого нибудь вала, хотя бы на соропять мм. Это же не первый раз. 👍

Вот это привет из прошлого...

Ребята вы лучшие я смотрю ваше каждое виде. И я тоже хочу заняться этим делом. Хочу дать древесинам вторую жизнь так как и вы. Подскажите как начать с чего начать? Дайте совет?

Thank you for the video.

Чудові відео. А чому не використовуєте металошукач для попередження пориву ланцюга?!

nice and tidy work👍

лучший рекламный ролик пил штиль, "сделано в Китае", теперь не осталось сомнений што покупать, где ближайший магазин с хускварной

Hardwork big rewards. Nice job boys.

in the Pacific NW sometimes they would spike a tree to prevent it from being cut down

Круті відео. Гарний контент. А ви металошукачем перед розпилом проходите по стволу чи ні?))

Вероятнее всего к этой скобе лет 80-100 была привязана корова. Коровы нет, хозяина нет, а скоба осталась. Поражает как дерево поглотило в себя скобу...

Добрай раніцы мае сябры!! Гэта быў вялікі кавалак жалеза, каб яго прагрызла піла! Бедны Ўладзімір не мог адчапіцца, калі зламаўся пуск пілы. Верагодна, вельмі непрыемна. Цяжкая праца да ночы - яшчэ адно вельмі задавальняючае відэа! Будзьце ў бяспецы, і мы ўбачымся ў наступную нядзелю!! Ваш сябар у Вісконсіне ЗША.

Молодцы парни, хорошим делом занимаетесь 👍

Did you hear of metal detecrors or even pointers? I would think that a metal detector could find it. There are smart ones that even tell you how deep the object is and even what it is.

Ломиком .. 😁 только цепи угробили, на будущее проверяйте металлоискателем все бревна

Вполне обычная ситуация. На пилораме при распиловке постоянно находили сюрпризы: гвозди, скобы, толстую проволоку, пули, дохлых мышей в дуплах:)

Я когда то работал в столярке, нам завезли старый дуб.. Мы замучались из него осколки от снарядов времён ВОВ выколупывать и пули... Тоже много ножей и пил попортили об осколки.. Пули свинцовые, ножи выдерживали.. Но оно видно сразу где железо в дубе, синее пятно, значит в дереве метал...

Many years ago my friend and I was cutting trees down in a fence row and about 15 feet from the fence he was cutting down a 25" across oak and his chain broke, after we finally got it down there was a steel fence post in it.

Добрый день. Возможно перед распиливанием ствола дерева "проходить" металлодетектором.Он покажет место нахождение металла в древесине.Металлодетектор не обязательно дорогой. Отсутствия железа Вам под шину и цепь. Удачи!

Да, сегодня не ваш день мужики. Но ничего, завтра будет лучше. Удачи.
