[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good video 👍It took me a few sessions to get through the whole video, which isn't a complaint- just a busy day. Nice looking lumber 😊

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I appreciate you watching the whole thing:) my next video won’t be as long.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

@@Helmsburgsawmill I like a long video now and then, just this one happened to be on a work day 😄

[@andrewmantle7627]

Nice sticks Ian. I know it must take all of your focus to saw, but wear a mic and think out loud. It's nice to know what a sawyer is thinking about a cut or a log.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

When I’m cooking it does😂😂 and I’m planing on it here very soon!

[@garylarson6386]

sawdust cleanup must be just a pain

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It never ends.

[@davidholder3207]

At what stage in the sawing of a log do you decide whether it can provide a rail tie?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Shewww that’s a deep question! But I try to decide before I start sawing. Of course it changes a lot. And then you have your follow up protocols to maximize yield from there. Hollow spots pop up. Or the log grades out better then I thought, and I decide to rip it to a single cant instead of a tie

[@jcb208]

Is five quarter 1 1/4 thickness and do you cut to set width or the best you can achieve

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It’s 1 3/8. Close!! You add 1/8 to anything in quarter. And the best I can achieve. All the grade lumber is getting milled

[@marshalldavis4455]

Would it be possible to have some video from the operator's view?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I haven’t put any up in a month or so, but if you search, you will find:)

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I don’t remember what video numbers

[@garylarson6386]

how long does cut lumber need to dry

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It depends on the thickness and conditions. The buyer will be kiln drying all of this

[@davidmackenzie5403]

Depends of the kind of tree moisture content very important when running a dry kiln

[@garylarson6386]

are 2x6 or what is the highest demand
