Nothing like a good piece of Oak.

[@triphopchill]

I was on a walk in the forest a couple of months ago, and I've stumbled on a perfectly square trunk oaf an ash tree.....I was.... just amazed... never seen something like that before. Nice video, I didn't comment for a while now. Best regards from Romania!

WOW As beautiful as that square Oak Tree Log 🪵 is it's great for either building cabinets or kitchen Tables and coffee and end Tables and I'll bet you can get Top Dollar 💵 for lumber that looks as beautiful board's that is turning out to be !

[@Sean-i4r]

That's right Marc, never let them get dull.Same for my zero turn ex mark mower,I sharpen the blades every morning before we leave to mow,and balancing the blades is as important as touching them up. Makes my stripes nice and clean

[@markgalicic7788]

yes and it takes less time to sharpen.

[@Sean-i4r]

@markgalicic7788 facts

[@anthonyhengst2908]

It's interesting how that type of oak grows with the square end like that. A sharp saw looks like it can go through everything now. Have a great Thanksgiving guys, I thank you for providing these videos, I have learned much from all of you.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks James.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I'm with you in putting an edge on something as soon as they start getting dull. No use killing it. I'd usually oil and gas a saw up then when I touched the teeth up. That did away with a lot of confusion and the bus motor was happier today because of a honing. Yall remain calm and that square butt had a LOT of pretty boards. I can't watch Shannon. Too many close calls for me. I remember how the old mill was and us running for cover. God Bless Yall

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it only takes a few minutes and the saw runs much better.

My grandmother "Busha" lived in Shamokin, PA was Polish and my coal miner Grandfather was Lithuanian. They both snuck out right after WW I.. Not too many people are from Lithuania. My last name sounds Greek so most people think I am of Greek origin. I was told a lot of Greeks emigrated to Lithuania. Good show and I am glad it goes around the world.

[@evanjohnson3578]

I know that this problably sounds crazy, but you should put out a cd of all the sounds of the machinery. Especially the sounds of the saw going through the logs. I love your videos and watch all the time but I also find that if I put my phone to my ear I can actually fall asleep better, something relaxing about that sound, crazy right!! Keep up the good work

[@rogermullinax1320]

You are probably the only sawyer in the world that would take a straight log with 4 flat sides on the big end, and start sawing it on the angles.

[@markgalicic7788]

I only have 22" to cut thru so me needs to start on a bevel and it did clear the saw.

[@HarmonyExpressSkoolie]

Thanks for the detailed view of dressing the bits! How many dressings can the bits take before they wear down to the 1/4 minimum?

[@markgalicic7788]

glad you liked it , at least 15 or so.

[@HarmonyExpressSkoolie]

@ thanks, Mark! Would love to see it in person some time!

[@jbbrown7907]

Chestnut oak is part of the white oak family. The acorns need to be winter hardened before they will germinate.

One time I recommended you needed to put your cut material on saw horses to avoid bending over so much. After watching the view of you guys edging, you need a hydraulic lift table. Easy to load and unload at a comfortable height. 👍👍

[@Sean-i4r]

I don't know why I envision what I am but I think a road greater shortly after they became hydraulic, say 10 years after that fact, the cab from a roadgrader would be a perfect cab for that saw mill. I think it would be a greathing because of all the levers and handles in it would be plenty to operate that. Saw might be on to making my own if I ever do this type of solo I think it'd be a great idea

[@markgalicic7788]

that would work great for a sawmill cab.

Can you change one bit, or would that throw it out of balance or make that bit cut heavy.

yes but it needs to be the same kerf , that's why I save worn bits.

The licence Plate might have come from lithuania, but it is a german short time plate from Berlin.

[@Frank.H.Suhr1964]

Exactly. It might have been used to transfer a car from Germany to Lithuania. But I guess it is pretty rare hanging around in the USA now... Greetings from a German breed living in Austria.

not sure but the address was.

[@williamhook4412]

Does someone rebit the shank once it is worn out?

[@markgalicic7788]

I change them out here.

[@williamhook4412]

@markgalicic7788 I meant replacing the bit on the shank. They look to be brazed on. It might be cheaper to replace the shank and bit once there is insufficient material left to sharpen. I enjoy your videos. Live close to you in Dormont.

why dont you want to saw the pith? Great video keep up the good work and be safe.

Pith is not usually stable. In hardwood it moves an splits when drying usually. I have had some success wood turning bowls going through the pith. But you are removing most of it

Is your standard cut 3/4" or 1" thick? Fist bumps from Canada :)

[@QWERT1456]

What do you do with all the wood that gets cut off when you start working to logs? I love your video's and hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.

[@rcknross]

what thicknedss is the saw; kerf is 9 to 8, 32

[@markgalicic7788]

it's a 9/32" kerf bit and I can sharpen it down to 1/4" before changing out the bits.

[@rcknross]

I should’ve said the plate or body of the sawblade. How thick is that perhaps 7-32. How many teeth does the blade have?

[@pauld5530]

You guys don’t debark - does increase the frequency of sharpening?

[@charlesfurgerson]

Is the saw blade turned by a belt off of the bus motor and also is the log carrier is it hydraulically driven?

[@markgalicic7788]

6 V belts drive the saw and everything else is run by hydraulics
