I've been playing bass for years and doing these things without even realizing it. Unfortunately, nobody ever explained it this way and I wish someone did. For someone just starting out, this may be the most valuable lesson you can get.

Welcome back Eddie! Cool how you all made "little" boards 😎😎👍👍

My goodness that new blade goes through that oak like a hot knife trough butter! Many moons ago when I worked at a sawmill, I remember when we put a new 56 inch blade on our mill. It was the same as with you now, nothing but smoth even production. Stay safe and God bless!

Nice to see that some members of ZZ Top are still working.

Wow! Love the grain of that timber. Polished up with beeswax and oil...wow! Boom!

Like butter! I always liked how white oak sawed. One of my first custom sawing jobs back in the 80`s was 10 k bf of big clear white oak , the farmer wanted it for pens in a bull barn! Sawed on a manual Lane mill powered by a 1964 401 ci. Case diesel power unit. This is why my back is pretty gone now LOL . Set up a lot like yours. In the end we had an EM16 Morbark debarker ,home made log decks with stop and loaders ,#1 Lane semi auto with Barry feed, Melott log turner ext . Nice to see the circle mills kept alive.

The grain on that wood is absolutely gorgeous

Always mesmerizing to watch these sawmills.

Some short logs are great for furniture and crafts. We saw specialty pieces down to 3 foot logs, especially walnut and cherry.

Gidday from NZ. I used to work with my father on his mill' a handy tailing out tool for grabbing the slabs was a piece of 3/4 Galv pipe 9" long with a Right Angle Triangle of 1/4 plate steel 1 3/4" long to 1" base. Weld the 1"base to the side and end of the pipe. Great for flicking into those wayward slabs and pulling them out of the way. I'm a Marine Cabinetmaker now, that was a beautiful oak log, nice wide planks, give your eye teeth for one of them here. $3870 for the blade.

cant believe you are sawing those beautiful oak boards up into 1X pieces!!

I love the shine of the new blade, it just sparkles.

All I thought while watching was that wood being used for a dinner table with a light oak stain . Really enjoyed this one

You explain everything so well.

What a wonderful way to wake up and start the day. Thanks Patrick

Lot of sawing BUT if they have the money...........! We use rebar for stakes. We used bamboo for a while but it was a pain with all the splintery edges and with reber, wherever you tie onto it is where it stays. Glad you had Captain Horvath and ZZ Mark and the gnome favors those two. Happy weekend and God Bless

Nice having a nice new blade and good helpers. Have a good weekend.

Amazingly soothing to see the log turned into boards. Blade cost is 4,321.00 Great video, thanks.

seems an absolute shame to chop such beautiful wide boards into small pieces. One of the nicest logs you've cut.

Thank you for the video. Your whole crew does an excellent job. May GOD bless.

Some nice saw milling thank you for the video.

I really enjoy your skill and the crew

Very good video that new blade is very sharp cuts like butter.

Nice new saw blade. Been a while since I've watch a video of yours.still really enjoy them

That’s what I was thinking Mark. Tomato stakes for the Biltmore mansion. Beautiful wood! Great job guys!!!

$3,150 i think I missed the deadline for guessing. I just found this channel Have been binge watching. What a beautiful piece of wood.

That was some nice oak boards, what a waste to cut them up that way. Take care and stay safe you guys, God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love to see Sammy the Safety Gnome watching over the log loader and Chewy so intently 😁

Sammy is kind of like "The Elf on the Shelf" !!! Lol great job guys

Great video Mark and Eddie and ZZ Mark. Hope everyone's keeping well. 4600 for the saw blade. Take care.

Nice job fellas 👏

Glad you guys are back. Missed ya 😂

Those wide oak boards would make some nice flooring planks.

Who ever designed that sawmill is ingenious, and many years ahead of his time. Thanks

Great video guys.

Thanks for another great video !

A new blae makes all the difference in the wolrd when cutting up some wood

THOSE BOARDS ARE REAL NICE LOVE THE GRAIN, LOVE OAK DONT BURN THEM

That is a very nice oak log there it may have been a ugly log at first but a very nice looking one on the inside. Your right that new saw blade loves this hard wood looks like she is running true

That is the most terrifyingly large and awesome saw blade I have ever seen.

The safety gnome is down on the end of the log deck

The Oak Ridge Boys. Good to see you.

Sammy the safety gnome is on the #4 log rack next to the wall where the ladders is very nice boom

I get wood like this alot but can't carry or haul it that size like big outfits so it generally ends up firewood .very cool machine .

If i close my eyes i can smell it fresh wood. ❤

2118.00 that was a "perfect" log for that order, thanks again Mark, Eddie and ZZ Mark

Man it's amazing how your New Saw Blade is cutting through the Oak Log as if it is a stick of Butter !

ZZ Mark here. Mark G was at the eye doctor just about all day yesterday having a procedure done on one of his eyeballs and his is not able to see the computer screen to answer all of the comments that are coming in. Yesterday’s video didn’t post until later in the day also. But Mark is home and recovering,and he does plan on being at the sawmill Saturday. So, I am going to have a go at replying to some of the comments and watching those guesses on the price of the new saw blade that have been coming in. You are getting closer and closer to the number! I didn’t even know it until Mark just told me. Thanks for watching the movie and have some positive thoughts for Mark as he recovers. I’ll let him fill you in on the details. ZZ Mark

Bummer about the eyeball. I have issues after working on computer (confuser) and have found that eye drops help a lot. Hang in there Mark. Loved the video - you guys are fun to watch and love to see the beautiful wood as it is uncovered. Saw blade $ 2025

We just bought a 48" diameter blade for our buzz saw. Maybe we paid a little too much. Sammy better hang on. Dad says he needs an upgrade of PPE starting with a helmet. 🤣 We couldn't tell does Sammy using hearing protection??

Good morning from Lincolnshire UK.

Love that Detroit Diesel on the wall man... we have one here in Oxford Michigan

Hello from Northern Alberta!

I love those circular blades. They scare the hell outta me

Thanks, guys - enjoyed! And good to see Sammy, the pointy-headed safety guy, keeping tabs on the operation from the end of the log deck where he could observe without being in the way. Yo, Sammy!

Hi, Mark I love the sound of your "Detroit" Very nice blade. I'm thinking $2330.00. Be safe and may God bless!

I chuckle every time you say Perfect now. Better than wondering what you mean

The new blade seems to cut good. It's still shiny!

I would enjoy seeing how the blade is manufactured.

FYI, that bounce in the small boards caught me by surprise and I was glad I was not running the saw at that moments :)

I am sooo glad the Gnome lived !!

Please make more shop videos, nice job.

Great grain show ... great cutting of your 3x1 lengths Just laugh at you Yankee's all up side down on your diamentions lol lol lol

Nice piece of OAK

Good job

the guy you told was close has a big advantage over the rest of us because he knows where to start

Saw Sammy on the log deck. That was some pretty oak.

Wow Mark. That new saw blade spins so true and flawlessly that it is difficult to tell that it is in motion. Regardless of the price, that new saw blade is worth every penny. It was slicing through that oak log like a hot knife through butter. Great to see the bearded crew back in full force including the safety gnome! You may need to consider growing a beard Mark! L

I would like to see how you feed a board with two rough sides into the edger and it comes out with one finished edge

Beautiful oak wide boards😢

My guess is $2168 for the new blade. According to my calculations, the price was between $2153 and $2171. Great videos guys!

Happy Wood Chips 😊

I hope you heal well

2393.00 for your saw blade. Great video Mark and gang!

I just love your videos………. And no idea what the hell you are doing……..PLEASE DO NOT STOP…… 😃

Quero ver a bandeira do Brasil nessa parede, rsrsrs. Parabéns pelo belo trabalho.

Be nice to see all the wood in a stack after the cut to see how much wood came out of the log that was cut.

Good video Bus Motor Productions

you have gotten so skilled in the last couple years, it's a pleasure to watch you work.... sure wish I had a slab of that oak, could make a few nice things for sure

$2098 for the blade? love your videos since way before the shed was built. Thank you for the entertaiinment!

The bog ugly ones are my favorite. I love it when you run out of options.😂😂. Great job.

Addictive watching this stuff Great Job! How often do you have to sharpen the blade?

Had a jeez oh shite moment on the 1x1 to 1x3 at 21:30 ish. That a hungry blade for sure.

that saw runs though that log super fast way quicker than wood mizers

A saw blade is quicker in cutting the run of the mill stick sizes in lumber or timber. Band saws cutting big slabs is one thing to make table tops, but you need planks to make standard furniture items like cupboards and shelving and oe legs excetera. A lot if the lumber cut on this channel is destined for external exterior construction use like decks and general building use.

Very therapeutic 😊. How thick is the saw blade? What rpm is it spinning? Oh i couldn't see mr laser....

$2081 for the saw blade i think. Great video, thanks men.

What happens to the bark off cuts

2125, but that is the time right now. Heard a little ting while sawing. Might nave been a stone.. but fantastic video

Amazing

Is it right on 22" from the belt to the top od teh head saw tooth? or do you have some room to play with at 22?

Hey Mark, enjoy the videos! Know any saw circular saw mill owners in operation close to Kansas?? Would love to get some lumber.

Curious about how that indicator dial is aligned to the measurement to the saw blade? With that vibration in the mill when everything is running how does it stay aligned and how often does it need to be adjusted?

$2118 ? Love your videos!

$3559 New blade shows how much you needed to get a second blade to be able to saw sharp. It seems so smooth. Ray Stormont

It hurts to see you turn that beautiful oak into sticks. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

I WOULD LOVE TO COME HANGOUT WITH YALL. THANKS FOR THE GOOD CONTENT

I've had that bounce happen. The boards were hanging to far out from the knee.

Judging from the look of the saw kerf marks on the oak, it seems like the blade must vibrating slightly causing a wierd kerf mark about every 5" or so...is this new blade made of a lighter steel, or thinner body material? These marks didn't happen with the other blade...seems less stable...

Four thirty in the morning having breakfast them boards have nice a nice grain , finally found out what was causing the noise in the saw bench pulley on the end of the shaft had six thousand run out clocked it on the lathe new pulley has sorted that the old one is now a door stop , you guys have a nice day
