Took me a long time to work out what "making a stop sign" meant but now I do! Great channel guys I watch one every day. Drew, London, England!

A finding: Many channels on KZfaq, show videos benefiting wood, but none as fun and spontaneous as your channel! I thank Mark and Eddie, for moments of relaxation, in this troubled world. Thanks !

There is something about watching the saw cut through the wood is just satisfying . dare I say relaxing

Relaxing video to pass the early morning with .happy 4th everyone.

I really enjoy watching your videos. Don't ask me why because I am not 100% sure. Maybe it is because you two remind me of my dad and his best friend. Maybe cause I have learned a ton of new stuff from watching. But I want to THANK YOU for sharing you sawmill with me! Keep on doing the great work guys! I look forward to Monday's so I can watch your videos. Today is an EXTRA surprise day of video!

These kind of movies are really the icing on the cake for me to watch .. what a gigantic log this was !

As a Vet,I like it you are showing the flag at the end of your videos 👍👌 That pine log was a big'un! Lots of good lumber for the shed. See ya next time..Art.

Nice job. Thank You For Showing Our Nation FLAG!!!! I Love It!!!

So happy here that you often reference Mike Mccoy. He is what caused me to become interested in the sawing videos on here.

That was one mega log and well done Ed you moved it all by yourself well done and thank you for the video always interesting never ever boring.

You can tell Eddie is a hard working guy. Hope he gets a nice Christmas bonus this year.

Mike McCoy was a great guy with the best stories. Glad you mentioned him. Great video.

Great job guys!! Very satisfying to watch and a really good way to remember a good friend.

Wished I was closer, I'd be on the ground helping Eddie. Great video again!

Love your work and Eddie is a good Tailer out, he seems to read your mind.

Great video guys. Love the bus motor humming along.

Learning so much from this channel. Guess if I applied for a job at a saw mill I would have some knowledge. 🙂👍

I have enjoyed watching timber sawing.

We have done the stop sign cutting on the Band Mill, lot of work, but worth it, the love of wood, Pine and Bugs in Fl. you let a Pine Log sit on the ground during the summer in three weeks you will have bugs all the way to the heart, And yes Eddie is the best help i have seen on a mill, no rush good pace, you both are a great team, after so many years together you-all know what the other is going to do. Stay Safe I always enjoy the video, oh I told a friend to watch the Sauerkraut Video and believe he is making some this weekend. you guys are the best.

It was good that the first batch sold. You traded up on that deal! I liked it. 😎👍👍🇱🇷

What is it about a circle saw mill that is so pleasant to watch?? I have a little band mill, but it just isn't the same!! Love the channel guys!!

nice sawing Mark,

That log looks TINY in the thumbnail. But it looks HUGE on the saw!!

That was a great video. Even with stop signing the log it produced a lot of usable lumber. Looking forward to see how the saurkraut comes out.

thanks for suggesting the reel McCoy Mike is very entertaining RIP Mike

Hey guys, you have a couple of interesting license plates on the wall. I am a combat wounded veteran and moved from Jackson County Iowa 12 years ago, which was covered with oak and hickory timber 150+ years ago, and now live in Colorado by the Front Range, where cottonwood and boxelder are the only native trees, and have a Purple Heart Plate on my pickup. Love to watch and learn about sawmills. Wood is wonderful.

Mark, Eddie, The favorite (for us the viewers), a big log. More time and work, but educational and entertaining. It's like a great mystery movie. We're thinking, "Now how is Mark going to get a log of that size and complexity sawed down to good lumber." Thanks for letting us see your great work and skill.

that old6/71 is music to my ears i have listend to them for 50 years theyl give a good spark to my soul nothing is better than her working just keep the water and oil good and she will be going when we are al farting dust brian from wa.

Hey Mark & Eddie, thanks for the excellent video & especially the narrative describing not only what you’re doing, but why you move the logs around !!

Between you two and Nathan you've kept me entertained for weeks, thanks. Don in NovaScotia.

Hey Mark, Love the channel. One of the best on KZfaq, in my opinion. Both of you are very talented. Stay safe and be blessed

Good sawing, Mark and Edwardo was par-excellent as usual and the bus motor was SPEAKING! Those motors just RUN and that's about all you can say. They do THE job just liie you and T.H.E doing THE job! And my pal with the old mill down the road has a notch in a dog where there was a slight mishap and several holes in the tin where bits and rings flew out. Just one of those days. And watch that rotator thingee. I get tickled about a critic that doesn't know what a log turner is or maybe just what to call one. Such is life I guess. Yall have a WONDERFUL weekend coming up and GBWYall!

Eddie is a beast.

Great job on that log. Liked the method you used.

We regularly see white pine like that. I find it really pitchy to do any kind of cabinet ir furniture work with. I do love to nibble away at these big sticks. Too bad there weren't more clears in it. Just the nature of the beast eh. Nice sawing there Mark. Usually 1 in iw a pain to sell and saw. You have your reasons for doing this way for sure.

Enjoy watching your videos! Thank you!

Once you chased the bugs out the rest of the log was beautiful pine. The knots that were left in the log will be nice tight knots. Good eye for wood.

Nice log Mark you did a good job sawing it

Great job guys, God Bless

Thanks for the video!

love watching your skill super job

Who can care what people "hate to see" ? You are doing the sawing as you see fit and best for what you have planned.

Always good to have buyers for lumber when you have a sawmill

I enjoy watching your mill cut wood, I have a bandsaw mill so I enjoy it all

LOL, I always liked it when who ever was tailing the head rig would flip me the bird wanting me to slow down. That is not why we get that chair eh, LOL. I so love that 8V92 powered up. Takes me back to yesteryear when I hauled logs here in BC Canada. Your Eddie is well worth his pay eh.

I love Blue Pine! 👍🤙

I don't know why people are so down on the log Turner it's not costing them any money if it doesn't bother you it shouldn't bother them love you videos be safe have a great day Sam

You did a great job on that log considering the size of your mill, the carriage seems to be running OK, the spalting in the timber would make a great feature built into to a cupboard door or coffee table top.

Nice one Mark. I have to cut the sides of my big pines off with a chain saw to get them to clear my saw guides

Really nice guys, call that one "give Eddie a workout log" to bad it sat on the ground so long. 👍😎

Mark sometimes one must do what he has to do with what he has to do with. If plans don't go as planned or if something is behand your ability then empravise and adapt. Thumbs up great video

great job

would be so nice to have a top saw for logs like this and yes I know that would be so expensive.

Nice to see you enjoy and take care of your equipment you have come along way, great to see.

Talking about the bug damage stopping at the heartwood, I have read reports about virgin white pine heartwood taking a hundred years to erode off the side of a building. The second growth stuff goes a little faster. It's educational to watch this as I plan on siding my pole barn with white pine as well.

Interesting method of whittling down a log to make useful lumber.

I cut southern yellow pine on a band mill and I have had to move some of them around like you have done

I thank you for a great video. If I remember right you installed a band-mill there too. I don't think I've ever seen it used, has it? Thanks again for a great video. Be Safe and Happy Holidays.

Yeah, it took a bit of work, but... ...on the plus side, there'll be lots of kindling to keep the Fire Barrel happy. 😉👌

Glad you explained when you shot the video. I was wondering what happened to the license plates that you put up a few days ago. Thought you had taken them down for some reason. Thanks for your videos ... I enjoy watching each one !!!

Every time I see the cover shot with the green tape, I see a light sabre in your hand. :-)

Great video. I don't see an issue with rolling a log to get it down to size, my kids don't mind as it means the tailing's produced they don't have to cut kindling for a while, lol.

Only about half grown @ 32" . There were old growth pines 60" across in Ontario .

Hard to describe, but have worked on a circular sawmill that we would bury the saw in a large log and remove a 1/4 of the log in two cuts 90 deg to each other. A lot of work but your mill should handle it pretty well.

wow i been following on my old name & lost you for good 6-8 months just got lucky found you tonight the shop looks great the last i seen was when the back wall was getting closed in so i got lot watching to catch up on ! i used be mrrob59 last winter had make m=a new account !

Thank you for the video.I've been wondering what is wrong with sawing the log through at your magic no.and taking a chain saw to whats left.I've done it a couple of times(dumb beginning sawyer)and you have to be careful that the remaining slab doesn't roll over on you.This is on a hand set mill-I don't have a turner. Tried to turn the log with a farm tractor loader and knocked the carriage off the tracks.

The other way to handle the really big logs is with a swing blade style saw mill. The Peterson mills all have a capacity of 5' and with a double cut max depth of 20" can make virtually any size dimensional lumber.

As always enjoy your videos I was just wondering after you had the first Flat surface why did you not turn it down

Sorry about all the t in the last post some how this happened . I enjoy your videos .I also have a sawmill but it is a Peterson Portable Saw Mill My circular blade is a lot smaller than yours.

Thanks very much...!

Mike McCoy Pine. I like that. Mike was good people.

You’re good!

thanks

There was a LOT of nice boards that came out of that log! Those insect damaged pine boards are sometimes highly sought after for furniture makers. I was thinking a band mill was a better mill.................................That is until I see this trick you pulled here. Now I'm forced to rethink that, & am now thinking that an actual blade mill might could be the better option!

Would you ever consider putting in a horizontal laser set at the height of the blade?

fun fact, 100% of the dislikes are from the lost souls of colonial era redcoats screaming about "the king's mast pines"

Hey mark. Have you ever thought of putting another blade above the 56 in blade. There is several saw mills down around Wyandotte ok. They told me it does ant take to much bracing to do it.

I honestly could watch you saw logs all day long. Will you ever do a marathon?

Cool!

Could you explain the need/benefit of the master dog and how that relates to the other dogs?

Some viewers might wonder what causes the Blue Color in the wood. It is the fingers or roots so to speak of a Fungus. There is also Red Stain . From an Old Minnesota Forester who worked for 20 years on the Boise National Forest in Idaho.I watched millions of board feet of standing dead Ponderosa Pine cut down and left to rot. The sawyer got 1 dollar for each snag cut down. If they had been alive instead of dead, most would have scaled between 2 and 3 thousand board feet.

Niiiice log!! I could listen to that sound all day. Where did the Canadian plates go?? cheers🇨🇦

anybody know where the intro music came from? I want to find it.

hi there guys does that log make my blade look small . that 56 don't look so big now maybe Santa will put a 60 blade under the the tree Mike was using a 60 . the outside few inches was junk anyway good looking log you make it look so easy Happy thanksgiving to all john

Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 24 Nov 20.

Will that white pine last ,,much rather have heart yellow pine

that ole pine turned out a lot purttier than the beginning.the t.h.e. signifies eddie as the only one.none other.i guess i'm not ever gonna get tired of ya'll.it just seems like everytime i discover something on here e1 tries to hog in on it.ole arkansas saying.lol.lol.

Love watching your videos, I have a question, What is the kerf on your sawblade? Thanks

Wow big log, I was thinking if you had a RED laser sitting on the cab so it painted a line level with the top of the saw blade you could see just where to put the log so the saw would cut through the whole log.

The old timers called that gun barreling, I started with a 44" saw so I got used to it.

You say the only other way to handle a log this big is with a top saw, but there is another way. Roll the log onto the carriage and dog it, them move it forward until you have slightly less than whatever your saw clears between the knees and the blade and make your first cut. This buries the blade for the full length, then carefully back the carriage back out of the cut. Now roll the log back 90 degrees and bring the knees out so that the blade intersects the top of the previous cut and make your second cut. This drops the 90 degree section onto the takeoff table. At this point, you should be able to saw the log without waste. It just tales a heavy carriage and a saw that is running true. Try it sometime.

A friend of mine in North Carolina sells wormy pine for $1.75 a board foot. makes very interesting tongue and grooved siding for indoors.

What happens to the scrap timber behind Eddie now that you’ve got the timber you need

where are you from, the guy behind the camera sounds like he is from Pittsburgh

Take out pizza, a 16 oz adult beverage and watching a 32" log getting sliced...not a bad supper.

Folks are not seeing the re-saw. I doubt you waste anything. Carry on mates.

Nice cuts. Looking for more big ugly logs. 👏👏👏

Can you explain how you work with the laser

How long does it take for pine to dry.the standard is 4 per yr.

Are the dogs sharp? Do they make holes in the wood?
