Thanks for the opportunity to watch and hear you work. I'm 83+ and first in my family to go to college! Worked two summers in the factory my dad did and learned a lot while building farm machinery. Worked in summers putting up hay at surrounding farms. Made me a better man and student to know more than one life style. Appreciate you all as I await the light before me, dang cancer!

Watching your mill run, I feel like I’m able to see what my great grandpas mill was like in action.

Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.

This is the best sawmill on KZfaq. Others use a band saw blade which takes forever. Other use a lot of physical labor, a lot of lifting and pushing. You are #1

I always like seeing the guys take a tree trunk and turn it into useful lumber. 8x8 “timber framing” wood is a special treat. You don’t get to see wood that size being cut every day.

👍👍😎😎How fast to cut? Yup, listen to the hummm of the motor & the singggg of the saw! Music to the ears!!

Just love the sound of the GM singing when you open the door.

I can well imagine all the different smells from the wood. I love that. Takes me back to my youth on the farm and the small tractor powered sawmill we had.

Great beams! Thanks a lot for the show

Another great video. Thanks.

That third log was fun to watch!

nice looking beams, great job Guys

Great sawing video guys, keep them coming,

Good work guys.

Great video Mark and Eddie. Nice looking board's and beams they made some great Booms. Take care.

those beams are big 'uns..lol..lookin' good, nice work...

Fantastic guys enjoyed as usual

Another fun video, Mark. Let's enjoy this warm weather while it lasts. I was working outside and couldn't get to this video until late in the day. Bill

Good sawing.

Wow! Big Timbers! I think those are the biggest you’ve done that I’ve seen! Take care and stay safe! Hello Eddie! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good evening fro Cape Town, South Africa.

Such a nice show !!

I love the first cut. There is something about taking a log with a sway and making it square. Most of the snow has melted here. It is always good to see you and Eddy. I wish that I was there to help.

Very enjoyable to watch.

Good evening from Malta 🇲🇹 That’s some nice wood Heavy duty 8" x 16' Happy weekend guys keep well Regards Tony

Those long logs are no problem for you guys !!

I had no idea hardwood logs are hewn into beams used to build barns. A good way to use logs that otherwise might have gone to waste, or the firewood pile.

Good Evening from Alice Springs Australia

Man does that 6-71 ever Bellow.!!!!!! Wow. Sounds nice. Glad T.H.E. Eddie wears ear protection.

Nice day for short sleeve shirts again. Nice 8x8's.

The hickory beam was impressive. That could hold up a two story building without a problem.

Man, Mark, I wish I lived closer to you. I'm retired and live in Texas. I would love to fill in for ZZ Mark and help Eddie out on the chop saw. Maybe one day I could make the trip out. Thanks for sharing my friend.

Really liked this video thanks.

Very nice work thank you for the video thumbs up and shared. 😊👍

Thank you Mark and and Eddie

Beautiful evening in the Texas Gulf Coast. Greetings.

got my sawill fix thanks to you guys, still muddy so cant get to my mill or ill tear my field all up and we dont want that cause i use the hay on it 79 here today so wont be long thanks guys

We could tell how heavy those beams are by how high the roller table jumped when receiving it. Don’t work Eddie too hard. Nice sawing guys. Spring has sprung.

That was some good decision making there markie,turned out great for the crook in that one

Man I'll tell you what. You don't get enough praise. For running that machine. Cause I don't think people understand just how good you have to be an keep your head on a swivel.

Yall did really good on the beams. Get them squared up as best as they will and THEN start getting technical AND I hear that Bus Motor EVERY time you crack the doghouse door! Such a comforting sound! And a saw and bus motor have a certain pitch that everybody at the mill gets used to, especially the sawyer and when the saw pitch changes, EVERYBODY knows something bad might be happening. 2nd nature to the crew. Happy weekend and also happy 66.2 subs! God Bless!

Nice 8x8 😊

nice day Mark

Hey, Mark, That Detroit is really loud! I had a couple of 671s on pumps and found if you installed side panels on them and directed the exhaust up 8 feet or so, the engine noise was at least tolerable. I think Eddie would appreciate it too! by the way, I really enjoy your videos. You never know what is "inside" those logs until you make a few cuts. Sometime it's a real surprise! Keep the videos coming -----

Those beams look like they’ll hold up a few more than 3 or 4 cows! That will be a nice strong barn thanks to you.

That was neat

Those are some mighty heavy pieces of wood Mark. How about cutting a 3" chunk of that maple for me. Lol!! Thanks Mark. Stay safe and God bless

Lovely superb Nice sawing of timber

I see you have moved the roller table up a bit 👍🇬🇧🤓

Good evening Mark and T.H.E. Eddie just got a comment 😃. As always good luck and God bless and stay safe out there.

Good evening from New Hampshire, nice beams. 🎅🏻Ken

Good evening from Limpopo South Africa.

I was watching a saw mill show that had blades on top and bottom and a blade on top of the main blade you ever use one like

Awesome video guys

From Canastota NY. Tuesday I was visiting a local Amish neighbor. He was bandsawing 8x8 cants for the barn he is going to be building later this year.

Nice heavy beams.

Nice Camera Work

I'm half listening, not really even paying attention but I always have KZfaq open in the background. That being said, Mark you caught my attention with "...that ignorant hickory..." and I had to go back and watch the whole thing. I have a love-hate relationship with hickory, so I feel that statement! Thanks for sharing Mark and Eddie

Great video guys. An 8x8 that long must weigh several hundred pounds so be careful. Thank you.👍👍

Good video Bus Motor Productions

That's a nice stick of hard maple

Do you mold any lumber for design like casing or chair rail????

I watch the steam powered mill and the water wheel powered and think man and his mind ? Oll glad I learned

Around my neck of the wood (Wisconsin) we have a saying that “you can always tell when you cut hickory because it warps so much it walks back into the forest on it’s own.” Of course, ours is shag bark hickory.

hi there good show . john

Hickory man glitter would be a good size for a little chief smoker.

I Just got done milling 8X8 Black locust Beams. That's Crazy.

😀👍

Fridays aint Fridays without dropping in on Mark and Eddie milling away on an exotic tree trunk. Hickory for the smoke meat people and 8" by 8" Post and beams for the post barn raising.

I enjoyed the video. I just want you and Mr Eddie to know, my wife stays on me all the time for watching yall. Hahaha. 😆 😆 😆

I'm a bit surprised Mrs Horvath's boy Edward needed a forklift to move those 8x8 oak beams.

hello mike and eddies its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy and boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

Greetings Guys.

Mark, do you have a quick tip on how to keep the pith centered on a tapered log?

hi there good show .artemus

👍👌👏

Busses never ran 3-71 in large transit busses the engine of choice was an inline. 6+72 over the road buses Trailways and Greyhound ran 8V-71s!

You can put it back on you just need a lot of Elmer's glue and a lot of clamps

3👍

Bring back the BOOM please.

Mark, have you ever considered making up bee hive kits? Bee keeping is fast becoming very popular, there should be a very good market for them and you're already perfectly set up to produce them. Could be a very good money maker for retirement.

Do you sharpen the dogs any? Doing great work! Keep it up!! 👍😉😄

out of 1000 logs, how many dont require "chewy work" prior to first cut???

15:34 why would you not take the skim off the wayne edge leaving a full set with a perfect board on the next pass?????

👁🤟👉😎😎you com me down so much 😅

Mark, how much fuel does the bus motor burn in an hour working it steady?

Just curious is mark the owner of the mill

Missing ZZ !

I thought hickory would have a more beautiful grain look to it ?

Thats Funny, Chewy is More of a Pine Man, lol

They look nice beams it’s five o’clock in the morning we’ve had breakfast so me and the apprentice are off to salvage some old machines out of a disused machine shop that closed fifteen years ago , all for scrap money we have a week to clear it out

Have you checked out "Riggin's Ranch? He has a oo1 frick mill modified. Good viewing. Family operation.

On those big ones I would be bad a med hammer to top of master dog. Help I think. Or bigger cylinder. Thanks for my foolish post lol

Will those beams crack

That saw will eat

ben is still here.😄

Did you say ? I missed kind of wood looks local to me

The technical term for the calculating you do is gonkulating. A lifetime friend of mine corrects me and I him at times to get a laugh.

Orders like these you sure miss ZZ and Buzz saw?

When you have Hickory that smells like crap mean grew in bad soil
