3 Energizer bunnies died before Eddie had even started to show signs of slow down.

I WAS A CEMENT MASON FOR 30 YEARS AND A LABORER FOR 7 YEARS, I KNOW WHAT HARD WORK IS. WATCHING YOU SAWMILL GUYS ESPECIALLY EDDIE WORKING SO HARD WITH THE LUMBER REMINDS ME OF MY WORKING DAYS, AND HOW I USED TO WORK!

You two Birds are so friggin authentic. You are the BEST!

I am not involved in the lumber business - but I love your videos. Nice to see a huge log on the mill. Also a great shout out for all the survivors of the USS Cole !! Eddie is doing the heavy lifting.

That mill runs like it was brand new. Well done you two.

Every video gets better. Thank you and Eddie for sharing your videos for all your fans to watch. I can’t wait till the next one

Once again, Mr. Eddie works circles around all of us.

I don't know if you guys will see this since I'm commenting on an old video... but y'all have come so far!!! Just watching older videos and new ones... you are getting better every day.

I enjoy your channel. I am a wood turner. I make pens and duck calls. Thanks for a nice video

USS Adka? My dad served on the ship from 46 to when the Navy turned all ice breaking duties over to the Coast Guard. He finished out 20 years in 66. Boiler maker on a diesel powered ship, 2 boilers for heat and melting ice and snow. The ship had 2 engine rooms for and aft as originally built the idea was you drove her into the ice until she stopped the reversed the bow propeller pulling the water which theoretically would break the ice. Realty proved the ice was not going with the game plan and she spent the first several years going back to Charlestown Navy Yard to replace the bow propeller until the navy decided to cover the bow propeller area with steel plates and operate as a regular ice breaker. Powered by 6 Fairbanks Morse engines. During the summer season she was charged with keeping the sea lanes open from Mcmurdo sound to the south Atlantic. Had the largest chocolate chip cookie on her that was 12 inches in diameter. Good times and memories.

That was a big log, but you knocked it down to size, Eddie sure earned his keep today !

February has been brutal here in Seattle Washington area as well. We got over 8 inches of snow in one day. WE usually never get more than a 6 total inches of snow a year! It was neat to watch that long log going through the mill. That was as near to clear lumber as we get these days. T.H.E. Eddie is a tough ole bird! I mean that with the utmost respect.

Love to be working with you guys. I'm a qualified saw-filer (Saw Doctor they call us over here) but spent the past 20 years sitting in an office in front of Computer as admin for a County Road maintenance Contractor; over here in New Zealand. Love watching you guys sawing logs. Keep these videos coming. Cheers

Lovely superb Nice sawing of 20' log.

I didn't' think that your set up would handle a 20 foot log. Nicely done Mark !

I used to work for a west Fraser sawmill when I was fresh out of high school. When the planer was running 2x4's life was easy! Then every once in awhile the planer would switch to 2x10 20 footers for 2 weeks at a time. I tell ya that weens out the weak real fast. I felt bad cause there was a girl that worked on the other side of the sorting tables and she just sat down and started crying so I helped her stack her tables as well but I never saw her back after that

Great stuff Mark this is the best sawing video yet, keep em coming

That timber would be ideal for making an old school sailboat mast!

Every time I see the mill, I'm amazed at how it buzzes through those logs. I was wondering this time how many of those boards could Eddie handle before he tired himself out and couldn't do more but he just kept on. Take care and stay safe. Bill

Has to be fun to saw logs like that.. Eddie getting a workout for sure.. Hoping to see you edge on the head rig... thanks for the sawing video.. always interesting.

That's a nice hunk of spruce there Mark & Eddie. It's clear for the first half; a prime candidate for Tiger Moth wing spars. ( 20' logs are the standard length around my neck of the woods ) But granted the mills are big concerns running very serious bandsaws. Nice job of cutting up such nice timber.

I’ve been itching to saw some Spruce but there’s not much here at this altitude. But nearer to the Smoky Mountains, they become more prevalent. I’m gonna have to do some scouting. Good sawing as always. Your mill is smooth!

I can spend 8 hours milling and I still enjoy watching your videos

Darn those 3 close knots. For long structure wood. I like long ones. Thank you Eddie and Mark.

Thanks for the inspiration over the last few years. My son's and I have finally finished rebuilding and setting up an old abandoned, scrap Belsaw M14 sawmill. We are now testing and fine tuning it.

That was/is a beautiful log. Spruce is so clear.

Beautiful timber as always it’s great to watch the mill running Mark don’t forget the flag Have a great week Tony

Great job guys..

Boy, that's a lot of sawing! The pass never ends! Stay warm!

What a lovely log, pretty much at the limit of your mill and it handled it beautifully

Oh boy, I remember the times we ran 20 foot Poplar and sometimes Oak at the mill. Most of our lumber was 5 and 8 quarter. 20+ years ago and still hurt from it, I feel for you Eddy.

WOW, what a log. Great decking.

Thanks as usual interesting video from two lovely fellas thanks from over the pond.

God bless you fullas from New Zealand

Wow...that thing looked like a mile long. Great job

That carriage and track are laser straight!! Great work guys. You've got a real nice set up there and a total hardwood expert on the belt keeping things in order. The future is looking bright!! Now if a few more folk could send in those bills it would be looking even better!! 😄

20 feet doesn’t sound like a lot if you’re talking about the size of a parking lot but when that log starts to go by the blade, and goes and goes .... Anyway, another good video. Very nice log too; nice and clear long planks. Glad we finally got the straight dope on THE Eddie Horvath. Keep the industrial sized man- glitter flying. 😎👍

Great video!! I really enjoy watching you guys. Very inspirational!

I've been wondering what the "T.H.E.", meant. Good title Eddie. Handling those 20' boards will get you warm and soar in a hurry! Thanks for sharing.🙂

Just seeing this May 7, 2023 it was 92 here in mid MO today so seeing the colder temps helps!

Whatever one feels good at giving is a very good thing. I was hoping that log was going to be as clear as that other big butt cut that you sawed recently, still a very nice piece of timber.... ah to have back the virgin stands of timber they just fell to make a road back in the day, such as a clearing for a townsite. Those trees built more house than the tree displaced when standing/LOL. Big trees with no limbs for a hundred feet plus. That trailer rebuilding is going together at a good time as people move out of the cities and head for that "off grid" lifestyle. Not for me but for many

While watching, and you say that you are cutting say 1 1/2 thickness, on camera and with the roundness of the logs, it really looks like you are cutting somewhere around the 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 thick cuts because of how we see the bark. . . . Love your videos . .

Certainly interested in those controls, greetings from the Netherlands

That is one nice stick there mark and the track job definitely was worth the work real nice sawing job and maintenance jobeddie and mark

hi there Mark and Eddie another nice log and great sawing to make real nice lumber . when you two do such a great job of your work its hard for me to make a smart a _ _ comment . thanks for the shout outs looking forward to your calls .thought of a SAC . on that thermometer is there a spot that indicates its to cold to saw. cause i think you are there . good ice sawing love that mill john

Great video Mark and Eddie, it looks cold.

20' seems long on the mill.. congrats to ya from west Ark. where we're at about 6" of snow on Feb 15th and KOLD Unusual for us.

those was a straight log to get only a few cuts before getting full boards. love the videos ! Those Hombres Entertain !

I respect Eddie's manhood hauling them 20' 2x12's behind the saw, but now cut a hip rafter out of it and manhandle it up onto the roof of a 2 story house. 😁

Great video as always... Beautiful boards...thanks 👍

i recently sawed three 20" x 22' white pines for the old Henry Ford cabin up here in northern michigan.

Bought ten 2x4s today at Lowe’s, they’re $6.10 each! Crazy how much they’ve went up. Hope you’re seeing some extra profits off this craziness.

Awesome video you two, Here in the PNW I have always heard it called a "swell butt". either way the base/trunk of the tree looks like the shape of a bell,

Finally T.H.E. Defined!!! HIlarious guys keep it up

That is one long stick. Only sawed a few that long. Eddie definitely has his work cut out for him. WBO Worlds Best Offbearer

My dad was US Navy and served on the Atka until she was transferred to the Coast Guard when they took over ice breaking duties. He was a boilermaker. The transfer happened in 1966. We lived in Massachusetts and during the summer she would return to Charlestown Navy Yard to refit after 9 hard months of keeping the shipping lane open via Mcmurdo sound. Small world

Glad to see you guys are well!

Hey guys, that's some log, it must have taken all of Eddies strength to lift those boards about.

My Granddad said you can always cut a board but, you can't make it longer. I run a circle mill that can cut a 36 foot long log. Luckily, I have a hydraulic off bear deck. Congrats on the new loader! Keep up the good work!

Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 15 Feb 21.

Mark, your second or third (I do believe it’s the third) dog looks like it is sponging in the rack. It could be the rack and pinion but you would probably hear that so it would be the hydraulics with a bleed back. It is engaging but it’s not able to apply pressure correctly.

Wow! Imagine if those beautiful 2x12s were oak or hickory!

Great sawing boys! Would love to see some footage of these on Eddie's new trailer

Thank you for sharing - be well - stay warm.

There's No Need To Fear ! Master Dog Is Here ! :-)

It’s is a little after 8PM here in St John Parish, Louisiana and it’s 26 degrees and forecast to get down to 23 before morning. The first time at or below 32 so I count this as my fist day of winter. Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday are forecast to get below freezing too. So that would give us 4 days of winter if we don’t get any more freezing weather this year. And that would be one more than last year. My brother that lives in SW Louisiana near Lake Charles woke up to 3 to 4 inches of snow this morning. He is a Sysco Foods salesman and their trucks can’t make deliveries because the roads are closed due to icing. We have several closed in my area too. The Southern 17 miles of Interstate 55 was closed earlier because it is all elevated over the swamp and they had patches of ice. It’s been raining for a couple days. They must have gotten it one side sanded because one side of it opened a little while ago. This would probably be nothing much for y’all.

I was getting cold just watching, LOL 😁

Glad you didn't take out the far wall with that beast.

I have always sawn butt first. Waste travels better in conveyors and tapers are easier to deal with (in my eyes). Many folks just can't get it. I suppose I was taught that way so that is my preference. I regularly get orders for 22 ft low bed trailer decking in green Doug fir. Some days it really pays to be the sawyer eh, LOL.

I love what you do

POOR EDDY always doing the HEAVY lifting. Some friend you are....

I am sitting in my favorite chair eating tacos and I am nice and warm. The high today was 1 degree F. I have wrestled with 16 footers but 20 ft ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. If the boards were hickory, it would take two men and a boy to move them.

My Goodness! That sure is a long log.

what a log. well done guys!

I want to see your cabinet making skills more brother 🙏 🙌

HI MARK long logs is where U get your board feet of lumber at my dad sawed a piece of timber long tall pine 😉😀😄 when they were done it was 4O5,OOO feet of lumber OMG 5 2 2O22

wow Eddie doing a mans day of work in a short while. big dam log. mark have you seen " that chipper guy ". up in MI. does chips and fire wood ,sends logs to the mill I think. he has a video of a huge log he took to an amish sawmill. think it was a Frick not sure. had to be 5 foot dia. think you would get a kick out of it. there log turner is 3-4 guys. anyway another great video, mill running so smooth. take care catch ya later.

very cool !!!

Had a 60'+ Norway spruce in our front yard. Company came and removed it in one log. Ground down the stump and replaced it with a weeping cherry +$1000. They said it was going to be used as a ship's mast.

That was nice of That person to send you 100$ apiece. Hope you all avoid this new snow and ice storm

That sure is some pretty lumber in that log.

It's amazing with that camera angle you have that inch and a half looks like it's 4 in thick on the KZfaq video but I do like your camera work it just looks like it's too thick for Mr Eddie the pickup malt with y'all be safe

thank you enjoy

17:58 , yep Vancouver Island west, much bigger than that ! Much Bigger !

My cousin was also on the Cole, he now works for NAOR out of Virginia Beech

"Bus motor" is making her keep today.

already subscribed to frick n jeep when you mentioned his chanel.

Reality like your video keep up the great work sam and be safe

John from FricknJeep is a really cool guy.

Wow nice sawmill mate

WOW. 20' is hard to handle and transport. Hate to have to pay Lowe's for the 2x12x20.' Nice lumber.

That’s a long board........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Cypress trees down here can be 3 - 5x larger at the bottom than @ 12ft up the tree. Same for a number of other trees out in the swamps. Thats a bunch of waste slab wood.

Its cold here to! Below 0 for 2 weeks now .and single digit for highs. South central Iowa. Miserable weather . Can't go outside for only a few minutes at a time. And when you try to go out to do something it doesn't work anyway. Try and stay warm y'all. 😊👍👍👍👍🌏🌞🌞

Impressive

No one should want to be a expert because a expert is just a drip under pressure

MARK! AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEOS! PLEASE MOVE THE CAMERA A LITTLE CLOSER TOWARDS YOU AND EDDIE! WOULD MAKE IT A WHOLE LOT EASIER TO SEE WHAT YOU GET! THANKS! GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!

I saw this other lumber cutting video where they were cutting some sixty foot long logs on a band mill, and I'm like "Why don't they cut it into more manageable sized pieces." they needed a guy with a pole to keep the slabs from sagging too much or bind the blade. Plus after the slabbed it went down the rollers to be cut down then.

Yea, sounds like even the bus motor likes how true the carriage tracks now! Less strain in the cut.

Hi guys. I call the bottom of the log the "root flair".
