Amazing how much you have done to the mill. I am watching this today, your three years ago video, and it makes what you've done to the mill so impressive. I've watched some other videos, and I enjoy yours the most, you seem to keep us engaged without under/over explaining. Natural talent!!

Its fun to see the sawdust shooting out the blower. Family friends just a couple miles down the road owned a saw mill very similar to yours but without the cab. They cut mostly white pine and the smell of the sawdust coming out the blower was wonderful.

I like watching old videos to see the changes in the mill,just after this video I started watching your channel because I don't remember this log I do remember you guys just had the bare bones of the structure...

it is fascinating to see these old videos after knowing what your shed looks like now - youve come such a long way. Love it.

Mark Although I'm from Massachusetts I've allways had a fascination with sawmills. The sounds and the aroma of fresh cut wood, I could sit there and watch you saw logs all day

That's amazing that your saw runs so true. And your a profiecent Sawyer. Great skill.

That is one beautiful piece of timber. That last slice was knot-free. Thanks Mark for taking your time doing things.

been around sawmills my whole life. could watch it all day. way better than tv, lol. tough log, but job done. who else has a 23' oak beam in their saw shed? it'll be worth big cash when someone tears it down 200 or 300 years from now. autograph it & put a time capsule in it somewhere. hell man you are creating history rather than just passing through it. leave some answers for the future questions. well done sir.

I love your comment about taking your time and doing something quality.

I’m truly glad that you have gotten the camera figured out.

Skill of a great craftsman managing the motor from bus and a beautiful oak log from the forest taking a dance to create a beautiful beam to last a lifetime. Congratulations

When I was sawing, I used to saw 7x9x23 for switch ties. We would saw all day on those to get a trailer load of ties. 24' was all the debarker could do, so that was the longest log I ever sawed. I had a 16' carriage and I centered the log on the carriage so there wasn't too much overhang. I still had problems with spring. I had a friend that had 2 16' carriages bolted together. He sawed a few 40' barn beams.

Enjoyed the video Mark. That is one nice long oak beam. It was something seeing you cut that long of a log. That oak made the Detroit groan a little. Y'all take care and God bless.

here it is Jan. 23, 2023 I just see that would taken this video and I must say Now that is a beam that would take care to produce. Job well done Mark and T.H.E. Eddie H.

Hooray hooray lovely piece of work. Most enjoyable watching keep up the good work. Thank you.

Phenomenal work! Another conversation beam to go with the walnut beam. I'm really enjoying y'alls work ethic and attention to detail. Great job. Many more safe work hours to y'all!

This is the first video I have seen without the lean to around the mill I love the improvments you have made

KZfaq has started showing me your old videos. Nice to see your shop before you had it.

Nice log handling. Your getting more proficient with your equipment everyday. Thanks for videoing.

VERY NICE. Good to witness quality in the making,sir!😊

Hi from the UK, loving your videos, looking forward to the progress

As a carpenter, having worked with all the species which you saw, I'm impressed. The way you explained "quarter sawn" was enlightening.

Great show loved it

Good job , love those saw mills

I started watching your channel because I like watching saw mills in action. But now I have a new appreciation for bus motors also. I watch the Bus Grease Monkey on you tube. He works on old buses with that motor. Great content, thanks for sharing.

You always bring back great memories

Nifty work... great result! 👍👍

Production sawing is great for making quotas. It takes artistry to make sawing such a production as you have done!

Nice job sawing. I'll be happy to see it up where it belongs..........Jay

Very interesting as you said quality takes time . Good job.

Take your time....love the channel

Quite the operation you have there putting out quality material.Very interesting.

Love what you guys do

Now that was the one we were waiting for. Your mill handled that length very nicely. I thought you’d be finishing each cut with the chainsaw but it’s good that wasn’t necessary. Y’all do good work. I’d come show you how to do it faster, straighter with 30% less waste but I got this old sports injury so, ... 😎👍👏🇺🇸

I love to see a man that can cut long material quality work

amazing work. that log just seems to keep going and going and going

Nice work on that one Mark What a beautiful piece of Mother Nature's finest.

Wow!! I don’t know what else to say, awesome video Mark!

I have decided to go and watch your old videos and I'm going to go back to the beginning 😊😊😊😊👍🌎🌞

Kudos to the truck driver. Delicate touch needed to get that log in place.

That is some precision whittling there!

Great work SAWYER with four good eyes!!!

WOW make your own and put it up.Amazing

Hi Mark , I just subscribed , first time seeing your channel . I worked at a circular saw mill in 1972 . North Carver Pine in Massachusetts . I really liked working there , but the mill burnt ,

Beautiful piece of timber.

That is a beautiful piece of wood good job!

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Your channel is awesome!

NICE beam great video..

I’ve had some experience. I say you did a great job.

23' planks would make great siding for your Shed..!!! Displaying your Record Cutting...!!!!

Lovely superb Nice sawing of such a lengthy timber.

Love the video more quality lumber cutting and the interaction of you and Eddie is great to see plus your commentary is great down to earth and couldn't be better,does Eddie get a speaking part.

Great job that beam will in place along time now is the time to do it right from NC Ed

Great job, I have never seen anyone cut a long log. CM in Louisiana

You could'a had a crate of eggs on that log when he sat'r down on your mill. Wood'nt have cracked a one..."Good Job Mr." Thank's for sharing your day guys. Take Care....

Nice job! 👍🏼

Nice work . I was reading an old saying earlier today that went something like this . The person that says it can"t be done , shouldn't interrupt the person doing it . And I would like to add they should help off load the 1x12 oak boards .

I have been making custom wood rifle stocks for over 50 years. I am always amazed when I find out some one can to do that for $50. including the PRESENTATION or EXHIBITION GRADE walnut. Oh well it is always fun to share others fantasy. At least if gives a good laugh at the end of a hard day. Great video!

That 500+ lb beam is a beast! Nice job!

Great job with patience!

Cool Good job making that beam

Very nice Cut I'm like a kid in the candy store when it comes to stuff like what you are doing Very nice videos

hi mr galicic , i live in tennessee and i love your sawing videos , i also have a band mill and i love to learn new and better ways to saw , i glean from your vids to learn better short cuts to sawing and just love the way you take care to get the best out of your logs , would love to spend a day sawing with you and T.H.E. Eddie Horvath lol , love to travel so , if your free anytime let me know i can travel if my schedule is free

Character is a good thing. Nice cutting. I thought maybe Eddy would just carry the beam lol. Keep smiling.

what a hunk of beam that turned into!

Good job man. That was a bit of tricky cut with not a whole lot of room for error.

Good size beam when run a mill the longest we can mill was 20 foot and it was hard 23 is really hard so good sawing looks good 😎

That driver is pretty good with his tweezers...lol

I get the same comments about sawing faster. That's not us. We focus on milling the best product we can, rather than shoving stuff through the saw. There's always folks out there that want to brag about how much they can cut an hour. Good for them Keep doing what you're doin.

No laser, no flags, no license plates, and no roof. Great memories. No dust bin either

Nice job on the beam takes a straight log to get one that length,always said if someone is faster go to it I'll watch

another great job mark im just wondering if there is market for those thin pieces you cut off ,,using them as a veneer for walls/cover /anything, inside tiny homes any nice wood , if you kept them to close to the same thick ness and then let age

The price of that beam is greater then 1/3 of my monthly house payment. That 1X12 is about $95.00, likely more based on it length. Nice sawing. Thank for sharing.

Top quality stick of oak there.

hi there real good job well done john

Just one year ago, just see how far you have come!!

this is going to be some building. walnut, oak, pine, fir, and maybe even a kitty cat. keep up the quality work gentlemen.

Just found u and like the way the equipment runs. Really interesting watching how a saw mill works. Would like to get some of those CUT OFFs. Like the way u VENEER off the wood, really cool.

12.8 K today Jan. 23,2020 Mark while you were sawing I had a crazy idea. I will put it on a new video. Nice work.

Great job!!! Quality takes time, but it takes way more time to do it again!!!!!

Nice job on an extraordinary cut! What is capacity of your mill 24' ? You looked like you were about maxed out.

How much leed do you run in your saw

Enjoy your footage

The truck that came in was all for firewood? Wow! That is about the straightest red oak log I have seen.

Thank you Mark and crew for all your work and character here. I was wondering if you sawed the post on your mill shed?

nice job mark..... long logs with a taper are hard to saw

cool stuff

Another great job with what you got!! I dislike a braggart!! Shows they have a narrow mind !! Just keep on keeping on!!

I saw you cutting four 4x4 in a recent video. I noticed how you cut it and wanted to suggest a small change that my Dad used saving a little time. He would not cut all the way through the cant on the first division. He would bring the carriage back an turn the cant 90 degrees and the make the second cut. The cut-off saw would cut a few inches off the end to separate the 4x4. Hope you can use the suggestion. Eric S. Duck

Mark, I was wrong. I thought he pine was a beam. That Oak is the B E A M and as close to an oak pole as there is! Stuff like this gives sawyers gray hair and bald places and when confronted with a deal like this, you have to do like a machinist does and sneak up on it. I didn't care if it took 2 hours as long as it turned out as good as it did! A-PLUS, EVERYBODY! And Eddie sure looked like one of the Wallendas with that 23 foot slab. All he needed was a rope to walk!!!

How u going to handle that oak beam now.?

Thank you for the video.Happy Thanksgiving!How accurate is your mill with this 23 footer? Would you please estimate the size of the small end of the log? I appreciate that you had to worry with the camera while you were trying to concentrate on sawing-I'dve slung it!

What method of sawing is that ? Its a lot different than the way we saw . Where you squaring it up on the flippers instead of the headblock knee's? Maybe I didn't catch something. I'm a retired saw Miller and not good with computers lol but I love to watch videos of old circle Mills .I still love them!

Eddie didn’t even flinch on the long slabs. 😂

Question. What RPMs are you running the saw at? And what size blade?

I like the video. The only thing is when you turn the log to do the next cut the arm with the spur gear it seems to take gouges out of the nice cut area. Is there another system that you can use that does not damage the cut areas?

That was some incredible log balancing act... not sure why you didn't three side it unless you were going to lay it sideways and then it don't matter. I think I would add one more log leg before trying that again in free arm position.LOL Great save of a long timber for interior work I am to assume.... right???

Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 7 Sep 20.

great job trusses next
