I've never seen anything from your channel before now. As an American Finn in the South Puget Sound region, as soon as I saw the name "Esko" in the title of this video (uploaded 7 years prior to my viewing/ comment in early December 2022), I thought, "that certainly looks like a good Finnish name;" confirmed by seeing the Suomi 🇫🇮 flag sticker on his sawmill 💙👍😀. It would be interesting to know whereabouts in Canada either you or he may be? My own Finnish-American family on my äiti's (mom's) side has had several connections to our neighbor to the North over the years - my great-grandfather who prospected up in the Yukon and staked the first claim on Bear Creek during the Klondike Rush, and met and married my great-grandmother-to-be in Dawson; my grandmother who was born at their cabin at the claim on Bear Creek and later came rafting down the Klondike as a young girl in the early 1900s (along with her parents and the rest of her siblings born later in the YT and/or Alaska) to ultimately settle in their farmstead in Southwest Washington; my namesake grandfather who rode herd for a time as a cowboy in Alberta as a young man, and extended relatives who supposedly still live in or around Nanaimo. Not surprisingly, several of my relatives also worked directly in the woods, or in other roles for major Forest products companies in the PNW (WA State). Lastly, I got to personally see a good portion of Canada from practically one Coast to the other through various invitational/international School band competitions we participated in there, during my Junior High and High School years, so I've had an appreciation of your country for decades. Apologies for being long-winded and rather tangential, but it was interesting to see this video pop up in my feed today, and for whatever reason, I felt the need to comment. In the event that Esko is still doing his thing, please tell him "Kiitos paljon!"

Päivää Matti ! I'm Janne from North Bay, Ontario. Esko is 80 now and lives slightly east from here. Not as many Finns in my area as there are in Sudbury, the Sault and Thunder Bay. My father decided to come to Canada when I was 5 back in 1970. You have quite some history in western Canada. thanks for the family history. I could only imagine what it was like over 100 years ago.

I had an old cantilevered wood miser , only had 8.5hp B&S motor . Electric feed on anything up to a 16 inch face you could run it full speed , daily down the speed as the log got bigger than that . To watch it , it seemed to shake all over the place, but sizes were always very good ( The four post design just seems to be more stable ) how did it run with the tire wheels ?

Mine was called the 4896 it was a step above the RC but now they just have the Pro as the next option. Looks like the RC has been improved since I was in the market.

Hyvin tehty saha. Isojenkin pöllien käsittely huituu yhden miehen voimin. Tosin noissa hommissa olis hyvä olla vartiomies mukana haavereitten varalle. Roippeitakin tulee sen verran että niillä muutaman kerran saunan lämmittää.
