If you cut 35 logs that day, you did a tremendous job with the help you had. Most people have no idea how difficult it is to run your own businee, especially if you are a hands on guy, like you are. I've been in business 45 years.

I really enjoyed this video. I have been a Carpenter and cut many trees into fire wood but always imagined how much lumber these fire wood logs would have yield into lumber . Now I want to buy some thick wood land and thin it out using a Wood Miser to make lumber to build a cabin. Thanks for the video.

I feel the need to make a comment on this video, even though it was posted 2 years ago now. There are a lot of what I would call "ignorant" comments on the video regarding the so-called "help". Keep in mind, these people are not my employees, or professional sawmill workers. I don't work with employees. Second, this was the first log of about 35 we cut that day. The guys were arranging the logs, in order to step in to a higher production later in the day, which we did. They did an awesome job all day, and are all great people also. I often post videos that will show people what sawmilling is really like, not a dream team scenario. Keep this in mind before making comments in the future that will only add to what appears to be a negative stream of comments running in the comments thread. Also, I do have the ability to disable or delete comments, but prefer the community to be prudent and respectful, instead of delete comments. Thanks!

Sawmilling is a "team sport"- Even the NBA doesn't draft championship teams all in a minute! There are many parallels in the construction field- my "country"; I've built several great teams of new build plumbers for commercial work, and never had six to eight guys walk up and hire on then be the Dream Team- a few have become that. BTW, I respect your feelings about adding to the conversation rather than carping and poor mouthing when they aren't out in the "mud, the blood and The beer" (on the job) to be very unhelpful. Speaking of Beer, bet it went down well after a day of that!

I think for this operation everything seems to work pretty good. I've seen sawmills (in OR) that could cut bigger logs ten times faster - doesn't mean this guy and his helpers weren't working. Sad to see so many people criticizing others so harshly. Some didn't even watch the end when the bark was trimmed off to make three more good boards! Wonder if they ever get their hands dirty or do anything physical. Good job, guys!

Marcia...Me too. A huge pine tree fell in my yard last week and I am looking at the log sections...We don't have a saw mill, but I have a lot of big pines. I used to catch wood off my son's table saw all day, like two lifts of 2x4's ripped and then dado-ed. I stacked them on carts so nice. I loved the fast pace. I could never do this kind of stuff here, too heavy. I can't even do the 2x4's any more. I loved the smell of the wood and looking at the grain, and the smell of money....

I worked for an old guy that had a permanent sawmill with a 36in circular saw blade. A 6 cylinder diesel engine ran the whole operation & would saw approximately 5 times as much lumber about 3 times faster. I offbeared lumber by myself...which means those 2 "helpers" U had wouldn't of made it at Buds sawmill. He'd of told either one of them to pick it up or sent them home. I read a little down n the comments & appears I'm not the only one to notice the laziness. The guy n the blue shirt didn't want to help U & the other guy didn't want to b there period. When the sawyer works harder than the helpers...there's something wrong.

You should take the blade off the three point hitch and build a frame to hook the tongs to the three hitch to lift the end of the log off the ground. Easier to pull and gives the tractor traction.

@leafbone12 жыл бұрын
No reply to you for two years, set time depends on how anal you are about levelling and who's trying to talk to you. I eyeball set up with the mill on a slight slope to the rear and a slope to the log bunks. To the rear so the mill is cutting with gravity down hill and to the bunks so a log rolls off the loader arms and rolls into position without me having to help it. If I'm rushing and its a straight in site 15-20 mins is plenty about the same for pack up if you don't have to clean up.

Two reasons usually; one is relieving internal stresses in a log to get straighter boards. The other is because of the grain orientation in the final lumber. One more reason is to have a variety of sizes to work with in the shop. Thanks

This is meant as a helpful and friendly statement not critical. Rig the chain and grapple so that when you lift the blade up it raises the log off the ground on the front end. That will do two things for you. The log won't be digging into the ground making it much easier to pull and the weight from the end of the log will be transfered to the rear tires of the tractor giving it much better traction.

@annabjornebye53224 жыл бұрын
When you saw with a Wood-Mizer you put the log up on the machine, normally with the top end towards you . On the video they do it oposite, and that is ok too. Normally there is a different in diameter between the top end and root end. To place the log right you must use one of the two liftbars to level the log. The right way to do this is to lift the top end half the difference of the diameter . Ex: the diameter of the log is 30 cm. in the top end and 40 cm. in the root end, then you lift it up 5 cm. in the top end. On the video you can see they have lifted the far end. First you cut one side, turn the log 90 degrees, and cut next side. Then you turn it another 90 degrees to perform the third cut. This is the cut that decides how wide the planks shall be, and it is 100 % vital that you lover the liftbar down to 0 before you start to saw the third side, otherwise will the planks be wider i one end. The video shovs that they did NOT lower the liftbar, and even when they turned it the fourth time the liftbar was UP. That was what I saw, only amateurs behave like that. Strange that nobody has made comments on this before.
