Frick Sawmill Producing Pine Lumber

[@fricknjeep]

hi there looks like you got it running just right , short sleaves , HUM 14 degrees in my yard , best to all and Merry Christmas ,John

[@Don_P.717]

I think that sawing was last week, but yup, we were 15 this morn. I did get 7 little pine logs out from behind the garden on the frozen ground though. One more setup I've seen, on the outfeed roller tables. If there was a gap between 2 of them near the downstream end. A pair of inclined pipe railings that, as you step through the gap pushing the slab sideways off the roller tables, the slab slides up the rails which go up and extend over a set of uprights and bunks to catch and corral the slabs for forking later. Then straight off the end was the stacks.

​@Don_P.717 that sounds like a good idea. I appreciate it and thank you for watching and commenting

It's not been to bad at being cold. I saw your video last night saying it was 12 or so degrees. I don't do that kind of cold. Thanks for watching and commenting

Mill looks like it’s working good. Nice video. Merry Christmas to you and Pam

[@templehillsawmill1748]

@TheEddie1014 I appreciate it. It is running really nice. Tina and I wish you a Merry Christmas as well.

I like my F-Pattern saw better than the B , this is sawing great! Merry Christmas!

Yes, it is sawing great. Ole Brett, set me up good. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas

Morning Shannon. The saw is sounding good today And your guy there will get the hang of the edger just needs some practice to figure out the best way to get the lumber from the roll case without having to wear himself out another guy would be great but you will figure it all out

[@walterlamb4756]

Have ya given any thought to covering the mill to protect it from the weather? It looks like it’s working pretty well now! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Maine!

[@williamp4484]

Looks like that blade is cutting good. I’ve been setting up a 01 frick. Got everything running yesterday but still have to set up the roller tables and build a platform and set the log bunks. Had an old Cory mill years ago and sold it when I got a woodmizer about 15 years ago.

[@templehillsawmill1748]

@williamp4484 oh, take some videos and let me know. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Well, thank you. It's been a blessing, getting to work with some great guys like that.

[@williamellis8993]

Looking good, Shannon. It's great that it's running like you had hoped. Here's a couple of observations (maybe I'm out of line). First, mount a sight in line with the fixed blade on the edger (like Mark Galicic has). That would make it easier for him to line up the boards. Second, show him how Andruw off loads boards. That would save him about half of the lifting. Merry Christmas. Bill

[@templehillsawmill1748]

@williamellis8993 I appreciate it. Those are good ideas to pass along. I'll be thinking about how to get that added on there. It sure would help the ole boy. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@papaw5405]

Just how old was your old saw blade anyhow?

[@templehillsawmill1748]

That's a good question. The Saw Dr. said by using the serial numbers on the blade it is likely to be around 15 years old. Around abouts. The blade I'm using now that he gave me was manufactured in 1972 and that's the year the mill was manufactured also.

[@timriddle3001]

Sounds like an F pattern saw

[@templehillsawmill1748]

It is. My saw is a B and Brett sent this to me to see if I would want it.

[@timriddle3001]

I personally like the B pattern best​@@templehillsawmill1748

[@deernutOO]

Can't tell for sure, but the boards don't appear to be passing through straight and may end up causing a curved edge.

[@templehillsawmill1748]

If it is, I'm sure it's mostly due to dull bits. I need to sharpen them. Very dull. Thanks for watching and commenting
