No problem!! Thank you for commenting!

You should watch some of my more recent uploads!

Did you not see how much was wasted every time he flipped the log?

Check out my newer uploads!

Thank you for the comment! Please share the videos with others that you know would appreciate them!

Thank you! I appreciate that

I’m 28, and it’s the only thing I’ve ever done. There’s something different about the work that other people could never understand

Come to Helmsburg Indiana and watch in person!

Thank you! Good followers and people that truly understand the industry leave good comments like this! And I’ve always thought the same about the sawmarks!! Bandsaw marks are generic. And every one of those 4/4 boards is going to get finished out at 13/16’s inches. I’m glad you understand that.

Thank you!! And I wasn’t trying to make it seem like that was actual speed. But this one is speed up so viewers don’t get bored! It apparently worked. But if you go back on the channel, you’ll see plenty normal speed!

Deseo aumentar producción con la inclusión de Sierras de discos de 100 a 110 Cms diámetro.enviarme. Precios .gracias.

Thank you!! I’m going to upload a wide variety of content!

A lot of people commenting don’t even realize this is a big ugly😂

Thank you!! Share it with your friends!

It got sent to the grade lumber outlet. They run every board through sanders and planers. When we do grade lumber, we just get the logs turned into boards. Now we have milling equipment for doing smaller projects

Thanks for the comment!! I want my videos seen all over the world!

@@Helmsburgsawmill if you go through all the comments you will find that multiple Nationalities are watching your channel ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🇵🇰🇵🇰 WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK FROM PAKISTAN

Salam aliakum from Helmsburg

So it may appear that way! This is an older video. The saws are always aligned and shims are never used! However, when that bottom saw is sharp, the top of the blade leans inward. And the tip of the bottom saw is getting pushed out. This causes an overlap. However, you’ll find in the video I uploaded earlier on that big poplar, that over lap is barely noticeable;)

Yes the circular marks on the log and the boards are typical. As the teeth life go down the marks become less aggressive. As you could imagine, as you file a tooth, it gets narrower, and cuts less aggressively over the course of its life

Oh I assure my guide pins are always correctly aligned and I keep my teeth filed straight across. Where the bottom of the saw enters is correct. But our motor is larger than a typical saw. And due to the increased rpms, it likes to lean in a little bit when the saw is buried. If my feed rate was quicker it would do it even worse. I’ll make a video on it some time. But when you see cuts that don’t look aligned with the bottom and tops saws, it’s not about alignment. When you catch them running together under different circumstances, the alignments are different all the time. The saws behave differently with different species, widths, lengths, which end of the log is facing the saw when it’s put on, etc.

Yes I understand what your saying about the saw wanting to cut in like that , What I meant was the cut pattern on the bottom saw looks very rough like a few of the saw teeth are mis aligned that is all . Hard to see from a video. It dose look like you have plenty of power . Years ago when I used to saw white oak all we had was a 401ci. Case diesel power unit with a 52`` saw ,it did good but you had to feed pretty slow with the old Lane mill. @@Helmsburgsawmill

This is a Forrest All mill

I shave for log tension but that isn’t my reason in this case! Anytime I flip a log to another side I have to re-establish my cut. It’s all manual. This is an unconventionally large log, and normally I’m not flipping them that many times. Usually I never come back to a side

Nah bud. That white oak wasn’t nice enough to make quarter sawn boards in these parts. That was a tip log

I would sir but unfortunately I can only do flat cut. I can’t quarter the logs because the edger box won’t allow the clearance. However I can tell you flat cut has a different grain compared to quarter sawn

How bout this? I get enough subs, and I can get enough viewership. I can see about getting a little quarter sawn mill made

Or a big one🤷

@@HelmsburgsawmillDone subscribed for more thank you

The Helmsburg Sawmill! Please subscribe to the channel. We’re located in central Indiana and sell our lumber and material to the public.

This is a Forest All mill

They don’t make them anymore

Correct! It came from the heart of Brown County Indiana. That was a top log. We sold the first 25’ of it to a veneer buyer. Brown County Indiana grows some of the best White Oak in the world

And how long ago? It could have been gramps who sawed it.

How’s it holding up?!

We sure do! I don’t see how people can stand sawing logs that still have the bark

At least for production sake

Thank you!! I’ll saw any log that can get loaded onto that carriage!

Hey bud. Go watch my recent upload!

It will answer your question

@@HelmsburgsawmillI just did. I understand now, thanks.

It's not waste, its required to get boards from lumber.

While getting it square they are cutting planks off of the sides when they can.

The guide pins are set where they should be. The adjustment doesn’t help with the top of the saw. And if it’s sharp, the teeth grab and pull the top of the saw deeper into the log. If I would’ve went faster, it would’ve been even worse. You can’t really avoid it with exceptionally big logs

They unfortunately don’t make them anymore

🤣🤣😭😭

Looks like someone took a ax and hacked it

@@Cutting-with-Paul an axe vs a axe

Lol ... thats the important think for you . Its not my first language. But yes ...have some dislikes in return .

Go read some of my comments about saw alignment. You see this comment on a lot of sawmill videos with too saws. It’s has nothing to do with saw alignment.

Big white oak in British Columbia?

In British Columbia grade recovery comes from Douglas Fir, Hemlock and western Red Cedar.

Ya that’s what I thought. Sawing soft woods is a completely different thing vs sawing hardwoods. Ask anyone who’s sawn big white oak, how a bandmill does😂

As to Initial comment - All that fancy computer stuff cost lots of money! You going to buy it for them? Thought not!

Yes, but sometimes it helps to re index and true the cut. He's "cutting to grade". That's why all the flipping.

Thank you!! And I only kept flipping it because it was so big. As cool as it is to make big wide boards, I’d much prefer to flip it a couple of times so my outer boards can be smaller

Stress comes out of the log as it is opened up and the cant changes shape , the skim cut is to square up the cant so the boards are all close to the same thickness .

Thank you fellas! We’ve been in business for over 50 years😂 not by making KZfaq videos haha. Both of your responses are completely accurate! Also. The tension releases you’re speaking of is even greater on the longer stuff! And if I have a block made, and for some reason I have to shut everything off and fire back up with an incomplete log, even if I don’t see a shift, I’ll still re shave it. And not even consider listening to any uniformed comments. Feel free to respectfully counter act any un-educated comments fellas. It’s hard to explain it to every person

And yes! I’m trying to take the best boards from each side to get a better grade! It’s no secret this is a lower quality log. It’s just large. The first 25’ of this tree was sold to a veneer buyer

Go read the other comments

@@Helmsburgsawmill why ? I know how a mill works ... this is meant for a diferent result .... that log would be much happyer with a classic bamd saw mill . Like for example M. Cremona ...

@@Cutting-with-Paul happier vs happyer

Go check out my cabin if you think it makes a terrible finish😂 And also I’m assuming your ignorant to the fact that every board we sell as grade lumber, goes through a refining process🤣🤣 The ones who watch my channel know that’s not finished
