sawing a 32 inch pine log into 2x4's # 467

I know you like to see big logs sawn into a stop sign to get it down to size so here's a big one for you! hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/

[@throne1797]

where's the machine that twists the 2x4s for Lowes or Home Depots?

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

Brilliant!

Lol, in seriousness, when a broad is cut it might bow due to resistance. When I started working in the mill I thought the lumber dried enough to bow. Then I moved up in the mill, after the out feed of a saw. I'd see broads get cut off a square cant/ block come out the other end ready to be the bowel of a ship.

Mark you truly are a master Sawyer with your mill. I've watched you and others for quite a while and you're the best. I always admire the relationship and communication you and Eddie have. God bless you guys.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Charles.

[@melindakelley3190]

Am I the only one who knows nothing about logging or lumber who still finds this interesting and fascinating AF? 🤔

[@stephenwhiteley2879]

Great video Mark, turning a big fugly log into usual lumber, thanks for sharing

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Stephen.

[@bradleysmith1566]

I've said it before, Mark. But your thorough experience really shows up big time when you saw a large log like this. Cut by cut, you make the best decisions on the best way to process the logs. You get the most out of them, with little waste. Good job!

[@waldenhouse]

This is just outstanding. Thanks for sharing! I spent half a day at the MacMillan-Bloedell sawmill at Duncan BC Canada 🇨🇦 What a fantastic place that was! Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

[@MarkBrighton-nb8je]

You guys are living ✨️ the life! God bless you! ❤😊

[@MrROTD]

I quit school and took a job at a lumber mill, being not a large guy I failed the green chain and was put in the planer and molding mills, best decision of my life I was able to buy a fancy car etc at only 18 years old, of course school is good but a guy working hard is also good i have great respect for the people who saw the wood we all use, its hard work no matter what department you work in.

[@DannyMcDaniel52]

My great granddaddy ran a sawmill in my home town of Sharon, Tennessee. It was gone before I was born in 1952. I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up! God bless!

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job cutting them logs, and great job showing and telling. Keep up the good work cutting,love to see that wood getting cut in to lumber. Thanks for showing the great video,have a great day see y’all next time see ya bye.

[@timmaggard8862]

Thanks for bringing me along.. Love these videos.

[@marksauck3399]

That big beam cuts just like a stick of butter. 👍

[@MrPossumeyes]

Hi there, Buzzsaw! Thanks for making an appearance! It was good to see you.

[@robertmundorff964]

Love to watch this mill running. I also love the saw marks on a board. Band saw doesn't leave that circular mark. When I make anything, I make sure that I don't sand or plane them off. Looks older that way. Any old lumber almost always have these marks on them. Just a fun time watching this mill.

[@Victrola777]

I used to watch my local sawmmill as a child around 1968. They ground off the bark first, and then just tore it up with the saw. Your method takes a lot more prep !

[@jonathanstephens8594]

I am from west Virginia. Love hearing the booms from the turning of the big logs.

[@timunger9214]

This video show that you are an artist.. definitely one of my favorites so far.. great watching you at the helm.

[@lambeausouth1]

Amazing process! Quite fascinating! Thoroughly enjoyed the process! 😀

[@jeffsmith4964]

You made that look way to easy. Wouldn't it be nice if every log went that smooth? Nice sawing Mark.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jeff , it did go smooth for it's size.

[@woods-garage]

Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see the process with a wheel instead of a band.

[@user-oj5px2jy9y]

Wow!!! That's a big log. You guys are amazing!

[@Lboogie23]

I always wondered. Thank you for my beautiful deck and all the trips to home depot, with the lumber pushing through my CUV window on the highway. Good times

[@Jax-bw1cq]

fun to watch! i'm 60 now but back in the 70's and early 80's i worked at a saw mill in minnesota. looks like some really nice machinery you have!!!!

[@wallaceeverett7415]

Mark L'm glad I built a custom band mill that I can saw a 36 inch log by 21.5 feet + long! Some times I thought I wish I had made it for 48 inch; until I think about turning that size log at 74 years old and 130 pounds! Of course I did get a 4500 hundred winch and made it so it mounts on mill to turn bigger stuff! Have fun and keep making sawdust!

[@markgalicic7788]

you did good by not making it too big.

[@terryfowler6090]

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.😊

[@lockingfine]

i can watch this all day long -- it sooths the soul and gladdens the heart : )

[@timo4040]

That was an incredible video. Wow, the amount of knowledge to get outta bunch of 2x4's.

[@anneandgregrobison8120]

Smooth operation, but I saw a lot of nice beams turned into 2x4's. Guess that was wat the customer wanted. 🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@Sarah-rd1qy]

Loved the video. The large logs that create a challenge are awesome. Thanks.

[@patrickhankin9903]

Just awesome Mark.

[@TheTDulin]

I’m home with Covid and have had your videos playing on my television since 5 this morning. Watch them everyday of life. Need to make a trip and check everything out

[@markgalicic7788]

hope you feel better!

[@robertmundorff964]

Can you imagine those boards dried then put on a interior wall with a stain. The knots and the saw kerfs showing! Beautiful.

[@lawrencetirrell8414]

Hi Mark, Ed, ZZ, & everyone. Great video. Beautiful lumber. I didn't see any defects either. Love the gnomes. 👏👏👏😆😆😆😁😁😁 Have a good remainder of the week everyone. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲

[@larrycreed5049]

I grew up working at my father's sawmill in early 60's until 1970 when he got a town job. We lived in West Central Indiana in Parke County Indiana. The county still has 31 covered bridges. The sawmill was a four head block Sinker Davis Sawmill made in Indianapolis. With some maneuvering, it was possible to saw a 26' log. It was amazing to see the amount of automation at this mill, especially the log turner and automatic log dogs. My first job at the mill was skidding logs and positioning them on the mill skids. I used a big Massey Harris tractor with a front loader. I also used a small Oliver dozer. The little dozer could push a lot more than it could pull. The mill also had an edger where we could length wise trim slabs and bigger pieces into different board widths.

[@jerryking2418]

That was some fancy whittling on that big log Mark. Thanks for sharing. Hope the eye is healing.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jerry , yes my eye is slowly getting better.

[@jerryjerry7561]

love those big logs, nice job mark.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jerry.

[@grantwalter6811]

I grew up watching my grandfather and dad run a head rig with a circular saw like this. After that mill closed I worked in a big mill with 2 band saws on head rigs and a third band saw cutting the cants into usable lumber. We never cut pine into 8 quarter only 4 quarter. Brings back fun memories.

[@DavidPadusnak]

very very nice job! you know this mill better every time i watch

[@jacksanders7018]

A very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jack.

[@dougsmith9099]

Thanks for the video mark,nice size log good job whittling it down. Good to see ZZ back with no restraints on 😅

[@patbrennan6572]

I worked in a sawmill as a young feller and loved every minute of it, wish I could back even if only for a few days. I'm sure you older guys know what I'm talking about.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Wow!! That's log I can watch all weekend. That will definitely get the bus motor all warmed up. Also, those items you were showing in the beginning all looked like craftsman workmanship. Very nice.

Hi from Oz! Nice Bush mill Content! Enjoy! Large Corp. Mills in the modern age, may just Chip the Whole log. as is. For Chip Export. See as Pine.? or else Throw thru a Large Quad Saw, Computer control To size what slabs of the log they want!. to suit timbers they require.with further size milling. high speed!. Yeah probably Debark the whole log, for pine bark beforehand, for value add, for Horticulture sales etc. Enjoyed this Video! Thanks!

I am 65 years old now, but when I was 17, I worked at a sawmill for the summer, it was hard work for sure. It was interesting to watch your video and remember things. I would have liked a quick view of the lumber that came out of the mill in this video though.

[@geraldstahlman7036]

The comment about twisted lumber pulled my heart strings and gave me goosebumples! Ive only seen you have twisty springy problems but a few times. Its hiw you run your carriage load huh!

[@bossdog1480]

Brings back memories from the 70's. I used to live in a small-town, Bunbury, which in those days had a few mills in the area. A couple of the young fellas that worked there had muscles on their muscles. You'll be able to get some 2x1's out of some of the off cuts, maybe even a couple of pieces of siding. 😁😁

[@mediaprducr]

Interesting log. Fun to watch!

[@catkeys6911]

I'm 70, but as I watch this, completely transfixed, I'm back to being 9 yrs old, watching powerful machinery do what it's designed to do. Making huge wood cuts like a hot knife going through butter. I've never seen wood go through a saw at, like, 5 mph. This, of course, is no longer new technology, but it sure the hell is impressive, nonetheless!

I loved watching The Real McCoy. Mike and Mother could get some wood out of that little sawmill. Glad I found you'll. Dan 🇺🇸

@@MtnMan62 we had a optimized Corley carriage that an the Army was to the longest jobs I've ever had I got hurt in the Army and then the mill run out of business after probably 70 years of running we already did the mell and put a Corley Carriage we had a Salem edger and a resaw system we had a 21 bay sorter it was a nice meal when we got through redoing it the only problem was it only run about 7 years after that
