sawing a big black oak log # 320

sawing two orders at the same time out of this big black oak log , hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgaliciccha...

[@nathangrin9201]

I get a kick out of those comments to Mark about turning the logs to much, I worked for Weyerhaeuser as a sawmill superintendent for 5 yrs here in western Canada and I don’t think people realize how many times a log may get rotated after it’s been scammed before it goes through the canter for max yield, the canter is cutting 4 sides at once, you have to turn the log 4 times to get something you can work with.. The mill wasn’t super modern and we only produced up to 2X10, so if the cant was bigger then 10” inch it had to go though a set of parallel 12” bandsaws where the operator would turn the cant for max yield, depending on the size up to 24” it may have to go through the bandsaws again, again turned for Max yield then go through a set of gangsaws where the operator would again turn the cant, so your doing a dam fine job sir keep up the good work love the content. KZbin should have a dummy filter for the comment section lol.

"Thats a big'ole hefty slab, there." He's like a sports caster of log cutting!. I love it!

[@davidhaworth7152]

Love this log. Tons of character. Not a classic beauty but a beauty in my eyes.

[@raymanbecker]

I'm disabled and love to watch others do things that I used to. I would like to see what that cut-off saw is doing with some of the big wedges sometime. Been suscribed for a couple years now and was fascinated with the sawmill build, upgrades and maintenance of the bus motor and carriage. Thanks for the site!

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , I will show more of the chop saw.

[@hawghead4596]

Glad to see “Log” Turner working so well.

[@outdoors111]

I am new to this channel, I honestly love it!! The chatoyancy of Black oak is wonderful.

[@haroldtunich8809]

I think Chewie for the log turner, it is always chewing the bark off. Love the videos, happy summer

[@jeffclarno5472]

Great video, when your bus motor gets the RPMs pulled down, it reminds me of my childhood. The tone and grunt is nostalgic. Keep her screaming!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jeff , I like that sound too!

[@donniecardwell3786]

Watching you guys and your knowledge of your work has given me hope that passing along knowledge is still alive

[@tmenzella]

This is so addictive to watch and I’m not actually sure why 🤷🏻‍♂️ great job guys 👌🏻👌🏻

[@RayC6607]

Fast becoming a binge watcher of this channel. As an avid woodworker this is really fascinating to watch. I have a local sawmill nearby but never get to see this process for the lumber I purchase. That black oak log was a beast and turned out some REALLY nice pieces.

[@lambeausouth1]

I only just started watching but I'm already a binge watcher! Enjoy every aspect of these guys videos! 😀

[@nicholasblohowiak29]

What a beautiful piece of wood. I’ve never seen black oak before. But it’s beautiful.

Happy Birthday Granny Horvath! God bless and have many more! Great job guys! Take care and stay safe! 🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you!

[@williamlulay7982]

Remarkable degree of craft and skill in getting the most usable lumber out of that oak log! And that was some chunk of wood to be tossing around! Even with all your expertise, it always amazes me how much unavoidable waste there is in trying to make square lumber out of round trees. If trees were more obliging, the least they could do is grow themselves in a square or rectangular configuration.

[@tjjewell4115]

Great Video Mark and guys, Happy Birthday Grandma Horvath!

HI MARK U done the right thing sometimes U have 2 go 2 your next set of log set numbers OMG

[@TheChuckb712]

Hey Mark I have an idea for the log turner name. Since the log turner is a no non sense hard working device, you could use a respectable title such as used in the military and law enforcement. The log turner could simply be LT. Such as in LT=log turner and in the spirit of rank LT= lieutenant . Anyway, you guys keep up the great work and videos. Thanks

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Chuck.

[@Oldmane-420]

Greetings from the great white north, love your videos Mark, especially when your sawing the larger logs and fiddling with them to minimize your waste. You are a lucky man to have two hard workers like Eddie and ZZ Mark, good work guys. I’ve seen Chewie as a preferred name a couple of times in the comments but I was thinking Chewbarka would fit the turner, you can call it Chewie for short. Regards Mel from Quesnel

[@williamellis8993]

Happy birthday to Grandma Horvath! It's funny Mark how some of your scraps look like something I would love to have. Just too far to drive. Bill

[@markgalicic7788]

[@jagdishprasadkhaitan4815]

Lovely Nice sawing as per your requirement.

[@johnking8679]

I think the name "CHEWY" is perfect for your log turner !!

[@spud1ism]

New watcher. I have soooo many questions. How do you clean all the bark underneath these machines and what do you do with it? Do you sell the sawdust? Especially cedar chips. What do you do with all the pieces that are useless for logs? I would love to watch the clean up.

Mark, thanks for showing the measuring wheel and explaining the how’s and why’s of the log you are cutting. Also,are all cuttings custom order or do you have a lumber store?

[@markgalicic7788]

we mostly saw custom orders but saw some stock to sell.

[@johnking8679]

Hey Mark, Is the yellow calibrated wheel synchronized to the width of the lumber you're cutting ? It appears that way......?

nice oak there..a big log..you can just about tell how many board feet you can get out of one of these..if the trees any good..when this farm was logged out,,the guys brought me 10 2x12s 20 feet long..i could not lift one end of them,,haa but we got them off the truck..solid oak...great use to..

I see another viewer suggested ‘Ike’ for the log turner name. I see the log turner has those dogs or spikes to roll logs. Those look similar to ‘Tina’ Turner’s spiked heels. Tina can get the job done! Thx for the videos. Much enjoyed!

Hi boys my name is Rich Chambers and I worked at two different sawmills for ten and eleven yrs. First Wetsel-Oviatt sawmill in El dorado Hills California for ten years, then Big Creek lumber mill till I retired in 2012. Have you thought about building a hammer mill for your scrap to make sawdust. I built one in the machine shop for Big Creek and it worked great.

Another name for the log turner. Eddies back saver

You could call the log turner 'Ike'. (Ike Turner). For you 3" slab, couldn't you hit your pre programmed buttons for 2" and 1" in succession?

it would be 3-1/4" if you did that.
