An Hour of Saw-Milling Action! #61

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Sorry for the delay!! I hope you guys enjoy. Make sure to share this with someone who needs it:)

[@peterlosangelos4108]

??? Please explain some time: I think you told us the outside of the log is more valuable than the cemter part. For a log with taper the forst bords cut have variable length until taper is gone. Same happens on other side when log is rotated. Why cant you follow the taper on both sides of the tree and remove the taper only when close to the center of the tree?

I’m going to watch this later to go to sleep to tonight, you have a soothing voice lol, and woodworking just comforts me, my dad passed away 2 years ago and he was a carpenter and we used to make stuff together. Thank you for all your videos Cam

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I appreciate reading your comment sir! I hope you ended up enjoying!

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

Great video with great looking lumber!

[@ModernTechnology99999]

Just imagine the sense of satisfaction and reward when he finished and sat back to look at his work. I’m a contractor and this man is extremely hard working and talented.

[@darbuc7198]

Love the view of the guy stacking taken when you are turning the log. Would love to see more if possible. Love your videos and the set up you use.

[@djohn1405]

Enjoy the debarking segment, your sawmill is my favorite sawmill site. Like the way you have access to four blades if needed.

[@grantvonditfurth8687]

It is great to see careful and considered head rig cutting, this more than makes up for the wider kerf and eliminates most downstream recovery. The yield versus production mindset is truly reflected here, keep up the great work

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Buddy these thoughts cross my mind about the wider kerf all the time! Thank you:)

[@esg-e5h]

I simply love all your videos! Can’t say so much. I just want to watch them over and over again! Keep coming up with more, please.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I plan on it forever sir! The more the channel grows, the more I’ll provide. Right now the work supersedes the videos. I want the channel to supersedes the work. Share it so it grows please:)

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

This was a great video great to watch !

[@robertgreen8695]

Definitely could hear the combination of the harmonics of the blade spinning or "whining" when it reaches pitch, the hum of the vibrations of the mill itself, and lastly the echo as the sound combination bounced off of the rafters. Good to see you in operation as usual. Nice to see the back end staff working so well as usual, and I hoe that your respective families are doing well.

[@arkansas1336]

Thank you, enjoyed every minute of the sawing!

[@THOMAS-zn1ib]

I am a Malaysian and did felling and milling of short small diameter rubberwood for export...we used an Isuzu truck diesel-engine to drive a 30" bandsaw.... fell the trees and do the milling inside the rubber estate before trucking to pressure treatment and kiln drying... I enjoy watching your videos..... thanks

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Thank you for watching sir!

[@shanehumphrey4827]

You get so much out of one cut!! Very productive

[@joeahopelto8032]

My grandfather owned a sawmill in Finland on one the many lakes in the area. I was born at that sawmill and visited the property in 2015. The sawmill is still there but not running. Ergo, I have an 80 year heritage in the industry. It's fascinating to see what is going on in this very interesting segment of the business world. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It surly is! And sadly I don’t feel like there’s enough of it out to see. Also the knowledge is disappearing as more sawmills go out of busines

[@WoodChannelTV]

The wood is beautiful. I like it. 5:52

[@robertaurens5665]

Fascinating. Similar to watching turning and milling of metal

[@Sinarglondong]

Very good ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BulletproofPastor]

I come from 3 generations of logging but I am not a logger. I was thinning out my tree lot in North Bend Washington where we have Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Maple, and an abundance of Alder. My cousin was recovering in the hospital from a heart attack and while visiting he asked me what I was up to. He asked specifically if I was clearing any Alders and warned me they were a dangerous tree for splitting during the back cut and kicking back. It's called "barber polling" and has made many widows. He told me to be sure to wrap a chain around the tree above my cut. The next day I was cutting a particularly large Alder and followed my cousin's advice. I was about 4" into my back cut when a shot rang out. The tree fell moments later and I stopped my saw to look for someone shooting but found none. When I went to remove the chain I found it sunk into the bark over 1/4" and too tight to release. The log had split vertically from my cut and ran over 12' up the log. I'm pretty sure my cousin's advice saved my life or at least saved me from getting hurt. "The shot" was the sound of the log splitting and gives you an idea how much energy was released.

[@KevinPool-k1r]

Is bore cutting used out west?

[@buggsy5]

That is one of the reasons that you stand to the side of the tree, not behind it, when making your cuts. It is also one of the reasons why you move away from the tree as soon as it starts to fall.

[@BulletproofPastor]

@@buggsy5 That's always good advice but when a tree "barber poles" it explodes with great force that you cannot dodge. You also can't predict which way it will spring out. The chain is a great safety tool.

[@farwindowusa]

@@BulletproofPastorWhat types of wood are used for one hour of sawing?

[@cornbreadburgess1950]

Thanks for sharing

[@curtthormann6896]

I miss working at my old sawmill. I ran the log loader for 2 years , debarred for about a year , then on to the headsaw for about 15 years. I could saw about 90 poplar logs an hour on the 8 and 10ft , about 80 to 85 on 12 ft , about 75 to 80 on 14ft and 70 to 75 on 16ft. I had to only get the cant down to under 23 inches.

[@curtthormann6896]

They upgraded to a bandsaw over the circle saw right when I started learning the trade. Reasoning was speed and size as the bandsaw could cut logs well in excess of 55 inches. However the roll case could only handle boards 26 inches lol. I like the edger saws on your mill. Not sure if that would be efficient enough at my place as the band resaws did most of the cutting of boards and even then , they only take it down to 9 inch by whatever and send that cant to the gangedger which cuts it into boards on 1 pass because it has 36 circle saws all going at the same time lol. We could pump out over 1 million board ft per week without any problem.

[@TroyMeats]

Thank you.

[@rocketsandhistory6136]

The log is so beautiful 😍 😂....I never imagined myself saying that but it's true. Glory to the Creator.

[@krispetersen9595]

Very interesting

[@EzTechss]

While thinning trees in North Bend, Washington, you followed advice from your cousin about the dangers of cutting Alder trees, particularly the risk of them splitting vertically during the back cut, a phenomenon called "barber polling." You wrapped a chain around a large Alder, and as you made the back cut, the tree split with a loud crack resembling a gunshot. The chain tightened and sank into the bark, preventing a dangerous kickback, and likely saved you from harm.

[@chrisd3884]

Multiple cammera views would be cool! 👍

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I plan on it at some point soon!! I might need a couple attempts😂 but bare with it:)

[@The_DuMont_Network]

Is the debarker automatic, or does an operator run the system?

It is operator manipulated. He showed how it was done in an earlier video.

28’8” is the longest log that the mill can handle!

[@AndrewAHayes]

Is the de-barking procedure there to stop your circular blade from being damaged by the bark?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

The bark holds dirt, sand, and gravel! It’s not the bark itself, but what the bark holds

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Hey when you’re used to looking at 56 inches of spinning death, all day long, you may have to do something crazy to spike your adrenaline😂

[@buggsy5]

Was it the sawyer, or a worker advancing the dogs for the next cut under the direction of the sawyer. You cannot see the exposed cant face when riding the back of the carriage.

[@stevenfitzgerald2414]

Does no one cut timber on the quarter sawn or is it just all backoff grain????

[@buggsy5]

Most production lumber is plain sawn. You get quarter-sawn planks automatically with the cuts near the center. Quarter sawing requires far more cant manipulation and is usually only done for custom orders.
