REAL NICE SETUP THERE GUYS . THESE GUYS KNOW HOW TO WORK AS A TEAM.

[@alwayssearching1882]

I love the work ethic of the Amish.

[@jwboatdesigns]

Ni e little mill, quite labour intensive by some standards but looks very well maintained. I'd love to see what they've got in the saw shop, thats the real heart of any sawmill.

[@leptocephali]

What a great design for a bandsaw mill

[@bradanderson1627]

Can watch this all day ! It’s a lot better than doing it. At least I couldn’t now 30 years ago did it. Love it.

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Strong man turned that log easy can tell hes not afraid of work

[@grazynazambeanie5963]

Interesting point , the fact the log turns were called niggers at first is due to the fact the mill would use it's biggest, strongest man to turn the logs and in most cases that was a black man

[@hennies9509]

Nice work, never be afraid of work. Roll up your sleeves and do your work. Nice clean work area as I like it.

[@shawngray9878]

Brings back memories of my uncles circular mill with edger. Ran by small diesel and belts. Efficient.

[@jamescampbell7780]

Sure is and I've seen MANY a day an old Frick circle mill powered by a GM/Detroit 4-71 keep 6 people hopping. HOPPING!

[@geneporter4849]

That's how it's done God Bless y'all 😁😁😁

[@deernutOO]

Comparing apples to oranges, or maybe bananas. Good video of the Amish sawing logs on a large band with a hand set carriage.

[@rammy630]

Very nice mill , it cuts a little slower than a circle mill but well makes up for it with the thin kurf..

[@davidwynn6807]

but seriously did it after the sawn product was on the ground for a month? How much checking, now and yaw was still in timber.. yup nice to see the mill but we dont see anything apart from the green off saw after drying and ready for pressure treating? Im thinking through my pressure treatment plant id have rejected the lot. Not enough care, not enough attention to the log and just a small spit it out skunk fight..

[@chriskourlos4407]

👏 fantastic. Big money maker!

[@rogerray7820]

An old Frick circle mill with edger will run circles around most small band mills. Ran the edger behind a Frick circle mill when younger and you knew you put in a day's work after 8 or 10 hours.

[@firstcoastpower7292]

I have a old frick mill I prefer my woodmizer that frick will work the crap out of you

I would love to own a band mill like this but powered by a large steel overshot water wheel along side a small river. I enjoy that this Amish mill is so quiet compared to other sawmill videos I have watched with large circular saws.

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Our new super mill in Rotorua NZ puts a log through every 8 seconds

[@grazynazambeanie5963]

Now that's my idea of a nice small mill. Love the band saw . Being Amish means you don't need safety equipment like gloves ?

[@fuzzydoggie465]

wood mizer's are home owners type mill. you are right the amish guys have the real deal commercial mills. this slow mill in the vid is super slow. our local amish mill is 4x faster. they have a crazy lil 10 yr old who is way better with a forklift than i am LOL. good ppl the amish.

[@lelandrentz755]

Nice sawmill amazingly clean. What brand sawmill ?

[@BarnGeek]

It's Amish made, It doesn't have a brand that I am aware of.

[@jamessimmons1888]

It looks like it was built from parts of different sawmills, but I'm not sure about it. But it's a good job and a nice sawmill.

[@scor440]

Why is the tailer walking back and forth the conveyer is running so the board comes to you

[@craigmoore3835]

What do they do with the sawdust, the slab boards and the slab boards that need edging?

[@BarnGeek]

Sawdust is used for horse bedding. Slab wood is used for firewood. Boards are edged either on the mill or the edger that is run on the same belt system.

[@maplebones]

@@BarnGeek I looked up an old sawyer when I was putting my circular saw together. He was in his 90's and his saw was idle . He told me that his first job as a boy was to buck up the slabs on a buzzsaw, load it in a cart, and deliver it with a horse to every house in the village. People got a weekly supply for their cookstoves. Softwood slabs dry really fast and make a very hot fire. It's great in the summertime because the fire dies quickly when it's not being fed so it doesn't heat up the house, and even little kids can split it.

[@patrickstammeyer6368]

Must be two inch or wider band

Nice mill, quality lumber ! What runs it ? … and why music?

[@torgererickson1406]

I can't hear the saw and I can't see the band. Why?

[@jamesoliver6625]

Implying a comparison between a stationary mill and a portable mill is a bit unfair isn't it?

[@beyondmiddleagedman7240]

Interesting. Almost entirely fabricated from tube and bar stock. Only castings I see are the gears and bearing housings. With no foundries left, the only way to get one now.

[@BarnGeek]

Yes, I was surprised to see this style mill still being built.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It’s not even close to my circular mill

[@tennesseesawmillguy1590]

My Belsaw is faster than a standard LT40 manual mill, yeah. All day long and there’s no wavy wood.

[@johneverson2433]

I thought that the Amish were against using any modern equipment

[@BarnGeek]

Well, now you know better.

[@zangzang1268]

Nice machine, operating it without gloves or eye protection let alone hearing protection ain't where it's at. No guards around drive system and open gears is also very dangerous.

[@tennesseesawmillguy1590]

A sawmill is dangerous, even with every guard your mind could imagine.

[@scottodonahoe9505]

Not in the Amish tradition of no gas or electric ! Whats up with that ?

[@BarnGeek]

Yes, they don't use electricity, but they do use stationary internal combustion engines. This sawmill is run by a stationary engine, driven by belts.

[@Outdoorswithlogdog]

Very nice set up.

[@johnsdsl]

Amish come with a variety of traditions. They're not all the same. I visited an Amish sawmill that wouldn't allow photography.

[@scor440]

Generators produce electricity they are off grid… get it straight

[@Lrrs818]

This might not be faster than a woodmizer, but that mill with a 56” circular saw will out cut a woodmizer all day long

[@BarnGeek]

You got that right!

[@sociallyunaceptable981]

A circular will make 3x the sawdust. And not as accurate end to end.

[@dougsmith9099]

​@@sociallyunaceptable981 depends on the Sawyer and how good he can set the guides

[@marfy3866]

100% agreed I have a woodmizer LT40 super hyd. and a 48" headrig mill with a 6-71 theres no comparison

[@nickadams2270]

@@sociallyunaceptable981 Not hardly my #2 meadows would made very tight toleranced lumber. Way more accurate than 99% of band mills. Not to mention that it was scary fast compared to this mill or and small scale bandmill that exists. Plus with a good blade and j the right setup 1/4 inch kerf was very attainable with a quality circle mill and most band saw mills are right at half of that..

[@robertodebeers2551]

What? Didn't the Amish have to do everything with horses and grub hoes and corn cobs?

[@markchester7584]

Surely using diesel power to cut wood means you can also use diesel power to travel around too.

[@thecurrentmoment]

But you can use horses for that Bit hard to use horses to cut lumber, not that I'm familiar with such things

[@buzzy4448]

Is that genuine Amish music ? I am guessing no.

[@thefishermensguildabrethre3452]

Thought they didn't believe in using technology 🤔 lol 😆 guess they changed there beliefs

Nope, they have been using this kind of tech, as long as the rest of us have.

You don't know anything about them.

[@grazynazambeanie5963]

I don't think a, WoodMizer was every noted as being fast , they are noted for good sizes, smooth cuts, and thin kerf

[@BarnGeek]

How do you think this Amish sawmill does compared to a Woodmizer on those aspects?

[@rickdunn7585]

@@BarnGeek so let’s talk about circle saw mills take ten log of the same size and compare board footage Between a band mill then figure out dollars in the extra lumber you get from a band mill

[@BarnGeek]

@@rickdunn7585 Yes, that is true, however the mill in the video IS a band saw mill. So my comparison is with two different styles of Band Sawmill. We can talk about circle mills if you want, but that isn't the subject of this video.

If they are Amish they are new order Amish because there’s no way any old order Amish would allow themselves to be filmed like this.

[@CougarLand]

10:00 should not keep cutting it like this..grains are running different directions. Should keep turning it over to cut a a new piece to keep grains same direction. And leave that center (pith) to the end cause it's mainly useless.

[@davidwynn6807]

I really love how the Amish and bretheren are really trying justify their commercial capacity.. like your mill a woodmizer has its position within the market are you selling this set up commercially to paddock operators or just hiding behind religion to highlight old gear that you have built yourself to hang crap on others? God be with you.. Lets all work in harmony

With ten times the horsepower it should be ten times as fast! The reality is this IS cheating for Amish. If it were steam powered like my grandfathers back in the 40s and 50s it would be more in line with Amish values. BTW: We are not Amish.
