"Thats a big'ole hefty slab, there." He's like a sports caster of log cutting!. I love it!

I get a kick out of those comments to Mark about turning the logs to much, I worked for Weyerhaeuser as a sawmill superintendent for 5 yrs here in western Canada and I don’t think people realize how many times a log may get rotated after it’s been scammed before it goes through the canter for max yield, the canter is cutting 4 sides at once, you have to turn the log 4 times to get something you can work with.. The mill wasn’t super modern and we only produced up to 2X10, so if the cant was bigger then 10” inch it had to go though a set of parallel 12” bandsaws where the operator would turn the cant for max yield, depending on the size up to 24” it may have to go through the bandsaws again, again turned for Max yield then go through a set of gangsaws where the operator would again turn the cant, so your doing a dam fine job sir keep up the good work love the content. KZfaq should have a dummy filter for the comment section lol.

Love this log. Tons of character. Not a classic beauty but a beauty in my eyes.

Watching you guys and your knowledge of your work has given me hope that passing along knowledge is still alive

I'm disabled and love to watch others do things that I used to. I would like to see what that cut-off saw is doing with some of the big wedges sometime. Been suscribed for a couple years now and was fascinated with the sawmill build, upgrades and maintenance of the bus motor and carriage. Thanks for the site!

Thanks for the video. Always great to see you guys.

Teamwork makes dreamwork, awesome watching you guys turn logs into nice useable lumber.

Really enjoy this channel! Keep em' coming.

I am new to this channel, I honestly love it!! The chatoyancy of Black oak is wonderful.

Love your sawmill! Also the logs you get are great size and produce Wonderfull lumber. For your log turner I thought "Rolley Polley" might fit the task it does. haha.

Good Morning Bus Men :) & Happy Birthday to.

Fast becoming a binge watcher of this channel. As an avid woodworker this is really fascinating to watch. I have a local sawmill nearby but never get to see this process for the lumber I purchase. That black oak log was a beast and turned out some REALLY nice pieces.

Great Video Mark and guys, Happy Birthday Grandma Horvath!

Glad to see “Log” Turner working so well.

This is so addictive to watch and I’m not actually sure why 🤷🏻‍♂️ great job guys 👌🏻👌🏻

It was nice to see the other end of your operation 👍🇬🇧

Another enjoyable video, nice log. Happy Birthday Mrs. Horvath Keep smilin

I think Chewie for the log turner, it is always chewing the bark off. Love the videos, happy summer

Happy Birthday Granny Horvath! God bless and have many more! Great job guys! Take care and stay safe! 🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

What a beautiful piece of wood. I’ve never seen black oak before. But it’s beautiful.

Hi Mark, enjoy watching your videos and can't wait for the next one to be loaded. My suggestion for naming the log turner is Barkley. All the best from South Africa

Great video, when your bus motor gets the RPMs pulled down, it reminds me of my childhood. The tone and grunt is nostalgic. Keep her screaming!

You are are doing a great job how you saw the log’s and I personally am learning a lot from you and T.H.E. Ed myster thank you and please keep doing what your doing

Happy birthday, Grandma Horvath! 👍

As a licensed builder for 42 years this fascinating to watch!

Happy birthday to Grandma Horvath! It's funny Mark how some of your scraps look like something I would love to have. Just too far to drive. Bill

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Granny Horvath and good job, Guys! Bus motor speaking with authority! C U, Mark! God Bless!

Funny Guys! great music, I'm looking forward to it, & Happy Birthday to Grandma!

Awsome work!!

...big log, produced some nice boards, good job, keep safe...

As always, another great video

Great video Great job by all Thanks for sharing 👍

Happy birthday Mother Horvath! 🎂🎈

Hi guys I am new and really enjoy your shows. You have a nice team and your experience shows. 👍👍

I could hear the bark chips bouncin off your plexiglass! Good thing it’s there😎👌

Good evening gentlemen from Matlock UK. I trust that all three of you are well

Johnny and Bill have made many a fine sawmill.

Love it!

Greetings from the great white north, love your videos Mark, especially when your sawing the larger logs and fiddling with them to minimize your waste. You are a lucky man to have two hard workers like Eddie and ZZ Mark, good work guys. I’ve seen Chewie as a preferred name a couple of times in the comments but I was thinking Chewbarka would fit the turner, you can call it Chewie for short. Regards Mel from Quesnel

Herzlichen Gruß aus Hamburg/Germany. Immer wieder super Euch in Aktion zu sehen!👍👍

Thanks for the view from the left side. Nice seeing production rather than just scrap being produced by ZZ Mark. Wishing you gentlemen and your respective families another blessed week filled with peace, gentle weather, nourishing rain and restful evenings. Peace Mark

Remarkable degree of craft and skill in getting the most usable lumber out of that oak log! And that was some chunk of wood to be tossing around! Even with all your expertise, it always amazes me how much unavoidable waste there is in trying to make square lumber out of round trees. If trees were more obliging, the least they could do is grow themselves in a square or rectangular configuration.

Love the narration, as I am not a wood type person….very enjoyable

Lads, I don't see an Irish flag hanging(Green White Gold). love what you do and how you do it. My father was the Manager of a local mill when I was a young boy growing up in the 50s all belt-driven saws and plainer. Loven watching this well done.

I am a disabled Marine Corps veteran, and I sit at home all day every day and I watch you guys sometimes eight hours a day. I find it very interesting what you guys do and it’s very entertaining with the commentary that you give as you’re cutting the logs keep up the good work.

HI MARK U done the right thing sometimes U have 2 go 2 your next set of log set numbers OMG

Call it the claw😎🥰

I really wish I lived closer to you guys. I'd buy up some of the trim slabs from y'all.

The music on your video's is always enjoyable.

Another good show !!! The log turner is - The Boom Maker!!!

Thanks Mark. Yoo Da Man!

Good evening from Limpopo South Africa.

Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.

That is a nice skid of six footers.

Never seen black oak before 😮❤

I like The Mechanic

I think the name "CHEWY" is perfect for your log turner !!

Just call the log turner Tina 'cause its got those logs rollin'

Hi Anthony & Roxanne ur greenhouse is coming along well. Unfortunately u will have to build another rabbit hutch for all ur new bunnies what about building a rabbit tractor ❤ ur subscriber Peter from SC

Great show eddie

Good stuff.

Greetings from northeastern Arizona I really wished I lived closer to you guys so I could come by lumber from you because oak is hard to get out here we have pine spruce Aspen and a little cedar

Happy Birthday gma

New watcher. I have soooo many questions. How do you clean all the bark underneath these machines and what do you do with it? Do you sell the sawdust? Especially cedar chips. What do you do with all the pieces that are useless for logs? I would love to watch the clean up.

Hippo Birdies Grandma!🎉😊

The "Bear Claw Turner". It's strong as a bear Turn in those logs. Robert from Atlanta.

Wow awesome wood

The log turned should be called the Badger or Honey Badger, it pushed log around, it doesn't take any lip no matter how big or ugly the log you throw at it. I love you content keep up the good work and fight the good fight. From Texas.

I'll lay odds that Eddie is one tough hombre.

Hi - I can appreciate the talent and work of this band and vocalist, more so when I see/hear your reaction and analysis, but still don't find it a listening experience I'd want to repeat . . . Your knowledge and communication skills are, however, an absolute delight, and I'll continue to watch your reactions, even of music I'm not keen on, just to enjoy your enjoyment!

Thanks!

Nice piece of timber

LOVE WHITE WALNUT!

I see another viewer suggested ‘Ike’ for the log turner name. I see the log turner has those dogs or spikes to roll logs. Those look similar to ‘Tina’ Turner’s spiked heels. Tina can get the job done! Thx for the videos. Much enjoyed!

Hello from Denmark 🇺🇸🇩🇰

Really interesting grain.

nice oak there..a big log..you can just about tell how many board feet you can get out of one of these..if the trees any good..when this farm was logged out,,the guys brought me 10 2x12s 20 feet long..i could not lift one end of them,,haa but we got them off the truck..solid oak...great use to..

Hey Mark I have an idea for the log turner name. Since the log turner is a no non sense hard working device, you could use a respectable title such as used in the military and law enforcement. The log turner could simply be LT. Such as in LT=log turner and in the spirit of rank LT= lieutenant . Anyway, you guys keep up the great work and videos. Thanks

Tina, for the turner.

Log turner. Big Joe, like in Big Joe Turner blues singer

Mark, thanks for showing the measuring wheel and explaining the how’s and why’s of the log you are cutting. Also,are all cuttings custom order or do you have a lumber store?

I would call the turner "Will" as In Will Turner!

That is one beautiful piece of God's work! Thee Eddie almost lost his collar bone @ 11:01-2....... Be careful guys, them thar logs am be angry!! That would've been a perfect slow motion clip to add to the slo-mo clips ''DVD'' I saw at your store site.

Little Moe for the log turner.

Mabelene is a good name for the log turner.

I know you have probably covered what I'm about to ask. How do you collect the sawdust and what is done with it?

I tell my grandkids all the time how important math skills are, in so many and various jobs in life.

Hey Mark, what is your actual dimension set for on a 2x12?

How often do you have to sharpen the blade?

Still enjoying silent films , there sending me to see a specialist about my deafness I’m getting used to it don’t answer the phone ignore jobs for her indoors and get more jobs done in the workshop , nice job guys have nice day

Hey! Where do you buy your saw blades at and get blade work done?

Lovely Nice sawing as per your requirement.

Nice log, thats right always count on blocking-still say turner is John...

I was thinkin The Spin Doctor...

Hi boys my name is Rich Chambers and I worked at two different sawmills for ten and eleven yrs. First Wetsel-Oviatt sawmill in El dorado Hills California for ten years, then Big Creek lumber mill till I retired in 2012. Have you thought about building a hammer mill for your scrap to make sawdust. I built one in the machine shop for Big Creek and it worked great.

By-the-way Mark, any new developments on the edger situation? Would it be feasible to have a machine shop custom make the parts that you need for the old Crosby edger or would it be cost prohibitive? I would love to see the Crosby back in service but you do need a dependable edger. Hope you find either a new or used edger unit that is durable and fits your needs.

Nice lumber someone gets to work with. Expensive to buy at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Another name for the log turner. Eddies back saver

Probably suggested already! Call it 'Scotty' refering to Star Trek 'beam us up Scotty' Cheers from Belgium :-) And please 'keep the sawdust flowing' (ref Dune)

You could call the log turner Williiam, or Bootstrap Bill.
