Great program! It's very nice to see behind the scenes of grass roots America. The show is relaxing to watch . Thank you very much ❤️

I don't know why this is so pleasurable to observe.

What a wonderful way to honor and remember Mike McCoy. I am sure his family will cherish the wood sign that you made for him Mark. I have often heard black oak referred to as “Sour Oak” because of the strong stomach acid smell that comes from the fresh sawn lumber. Actually, that was a decent black oak log. It made some really nice material. Great sawing video gentlemen!

Thank you gentlemen. I always enjoy watching you.

Love the videos - especially this format where you show the loading of the logs onto the mill. Just got into woodworking like 6 months ago and it’s a full blown addiction now acquiring new tools and watching videos to get ideas

Hi Mark my name is Paul English and i am from Australia. I have worked in saw mills for a long time and retired 20 years and the mills hear have all mostly shut down but i still like the sound of the saw when i witch your video's you do all the time. Hop you keep doing them as it brings back a lot of meres of when i worked in the mills. keep up the good work and say hi to Eddie and ZZ for me.

That second piece off the second side would make a cool clock!

Was made aware of your channel from Nuts channel. I'm here to stay!! Awesome content, great attitudes guys!! God Bless everyone reading this 🙏

@25.20 you're saying the log is ugly, but as you turned it, I thought - what a fantastically figured board!

Hi to all from just north of Houston, Texas. Gorgeous day. Always enjoy a little sawin’ vid to relax.

Nasty logs are not good for your usable log count but it makes entertaining and interesting video for us. You ALL do an excellent job. Love you ALL.

Good morning from Baldivis Western Australia.

This brings back memories of a band called Black Oak, Arkansas when I was younger.

I think you've mentioned that ZZ Mark does projects with the cast-off pieces. Some of the bits have great character. Maybe some future opening of one of your videos, he could bring a few Show & Tells? And maybe someday a short clip of Eddie's outbuilding.

"Smell-a-Vision" would be great on the cherry. It is always good to see you guys at work. I am glad that you sold some plaques. My brother got his but he is still on vacation. When it gets warm out I hope to make some new metal art. I just picked up some metal scraps from the city recycle center. New steel is very expensive.

Kaboom 💥

Black birch is also my favorite and ive never seen anyone saw one up into boards,never been done then,as far as i can find,so please,saw a black birch,it looks alot like black cherry,and most people cant tell the difference. Could you find one please,you wont be disappointed.Very beautiful wood inside

Great video Mark and Eddie and ZZ Mark. Take care.

Mark brother that memory board was absolutely beautiful

BOOM !!!! Just ordered the sign. Best channel on KZfaq.

Good job on the memory board God bless you

I like your explaintions as you saw

Nice grain but I can't smell it unless it's like the old PEE oak here. Happy week and Blessings to ALL yall!

Another good one Mark!!!

Thank is beautiful grain!

That first log would have made pretty plywood. Would Mother Horvath be willing to visit the sawmill so we can all meet her?

so much netter when the full video is shown, love the full video,

You guys rock!! Thabk you for the videos!¡

You got some decent looking lumber out of that stinky oak.

Good morning you all from Malta 🇲🇹 Tony

Another great video guys.

Beautiful big Boom at 12:18 into the video, with some of this black Oak could you make few plaques with it

Nice job lovely grain in them boards , getting my bonus from the parlour job Sunday dinner roast beef Yorkshire pudding three veg mashed potato and gravy very nice had to miss out on desert apple pie and custard one of the draw backs of being a diabetic, have nice day guys

Another great one. You guys operate like a well oiled machine.

Keep up good work i love watching you guys im from hooversville pa herb Baker

Ive enjoyed the shorts. Thanks

What type of tree,wood,is people's favorite? Mine,visually, is Black Cherry,it beautiful if it's from Vermont. Functionality wise,Maple is my favorite because of syrup, maple syrup, not that fake trash people buy in stores,when northerners work butts off,to make syrup.Hard hard work that goes largely unnoticed.

Good evening from Belfast NI

Cool...I finally saw what you mean by "stress" in a log, when the backside of the blade kicked out some man glitter as it went past.

Hello from Jakob in SE London in the UK....

Me gusta mucho la narración del trabajo. Lástima que no todos los vídeos tengan subtítulos para poder traducirlos. Saludos desde las Islas Canarias (España)

Ya got to be more optimistic on sales Mark! 1 million boom signs would be a nice order!

The music is nice Mark.

Love You Guys!

Work it Eddie work it you do so good

Loving the music keep up the good work 😊

Good evening from Cape Town where it is 23 degrees - but that's Celsius. It's about 73 degrees Fahrenheit.

HI MARK U talk about horses U know alot of people used horses along time ago be 4 tractors were even thought 💭 of 2 do work and plowing ,clearing land no tractors or bulldozers back horse were also used at the sawmills years ago 2 pulls the logs out of the woods ,later on the swing carts were made then tractors pulled them U would back over the logs and hook the cable up the tractor pto shift ran it would lift the logs up and 2 the sawmill U went mark then there is the heavy duty horse that love 2 pull yes they were draft horses tan w white face and feet Clydesdales 😊❤😊😊TLC/OMG 3 13 2O23

holiday next monday in USA and Canada, dont know about England do know when the Queen Elizabeth was 3 years old she was asked ''whats your name'' she replied... Lillabett....... and that name was given to a recent child in the royal family ''LILLABETT''

Lovely superb Nice sawing

That's some pretty wood.

You keep that chain sharp on that saw!

👍

I thought you worked for yourself I'm sorry that you going through it. I hope it gets better

👍👌👏

Please, can you place captions on the video. Or at least explain why you don't. Hard of hearing and with the sawmill noise, can't hear what you are saying. This is my favorite sawmill videos! Thanks for listening,

Bring on the boom.

Yay! Man Glitter Monday. Turned AARP eligible today.

Forget the fire pit it's starting to look worthwhile for something that was a sight

hi there ugly log got some nice boards john

Not going to lie, really jealous of that machine!

You should get a second small laser and mount it horizontally on the wall by the licence plates pointing at the end of the log and compare both lasers so you know how high the saw cuts would be when milling bigger logs.

BOOM

My guess new edger and kiln finally taking shape.

That oak was so ugly it’s pretty. Great video guys!

Mark, for the first log, was it the crook or the limbs that dictated where you start? Something you might try-unless the crook is horrible, on logs like the first one with big limbs, I try to put the limb on a corner of a cant which often times takes "most" of the knot off in the waste. Just a suggestion you might look at if you don't already. Love the videos.

that 1st log has very pretty wood

Have you seen a KZfaq channel Temple Hill sawmill the guy that runs it has Mike McCoys old Frick mill I watched a few of his videos, and it’s nice to see Mike’s old Mill, running again!

I'm looking forward to the new edger. I know its coming this year.ff

Great team work as usual, what is your opinion on the feet per minute you’ve chosen for your saw? We are running in the higher end at almost 10,000’ and we are cutting primarily softwoods. I’ve been told to run slower for hardwoods but then obviously the saw tuned for 750rpm wobbles if we reduce speed any.

Better-late-than-never Boom. 💥

From the way you described the smell, it's already preconditioned for the stall (lol). Bill

Good boom

That Echo chainsaw does a good job. I realize the camera was speeded up but just the same it looked like it went through that oak pretty quick.

Question mark why don't you put gravel down in front of where you load your logs just wandered or you just haven't gotten to it

I would have never had that on my mill or saw table

Hey mark does it matter which end of the log you put towards the blade ? Stump end or other end ? Did you get new machine for edging out boards yet think that what they call it

bing bang boom

Piss elm smells kinda funky when it’s being cut too

A nice black oak for a break from cherry

Mark do you all ever saw RR Ties, or do you even have a market for ties in your area, or is it worth it. I know I use to haul Ties out of DuBois.

Lovely Nice sawing

It is nice to see the State of Maine flag in every video

vomit oak! I had some for firewood once!

Is that sasafras behind the logs you were checking for metal in ?

Typical Characteristics of Scarlet Oak is black streaks, lots of small knots, and smells like Cow Manure!!

Thats why they pay you the big bucks,you can turn a ugly log into board feet

Does the grain pattern change as you get towards the pith?

Hopefully, you will number your boom signs.

😛😛😛❤❤👍👍👍👍

if the big one is the master dog are the other ones the puppy dogs

Teeth rubbing the log when reversing, might it be the hydraulic system creeping a bit?

Do you ever saw any cedar?

You definitely mage a plate full of chicken salad today. Y'all would probably get bored sawing our SYP.

🎉😂🎉😮😅😊

I think that second log, John would of put it on his splitter. Guess you can’t have Grade A quality lumber all the time.

❤ ugly logs...they have character 😉
