[@alanm3438]

How nice to have the log off the ground to trim the ends. Good to see you and the guys!!!!!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Alan , yes for sure

[@dustydave9347]

Great video. Loved the ending speaker. Nice and low. Y'all have a great day!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Dusty.

[@daveellis2117]

Good job Mark and guys. I got my Woodland Mill out the other day to saw up some utility poles a friend gave me. Not a good idea without metal detector. They were pretty wet with treatment too so learned some good lessons. Great lumber for what I wanted but a lot of work. Tell the guys Hi. Thanks for all you do.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Dave , yes we hate sawing them because we spend more time getting the metal out than sawing them lol.

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

I had my retirement coundown and passed a few years ago after working since the 8th grade. I love retirement and not puching a clock. CONGRATS ON THE COUNT-DOWN. I tauight almost 50 years combined military, university, middle and high school levels along with a HUGE amount of parttime occupations. The only thing I miss are the kids. I know you will think it's getting slower as the day comes into view but have patience. viewed in California

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you for your service Lawrence.

[@JamesSimmons-pz7wn]

Good video Bus Motor Productions.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks James.

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

Nice saw. Looks like a Stihl. My favorite saw. I remember when I ran one cutting firewood and other things. Loved that saw.

[@markgalicic7788]

this is a 311 with a 24" bar.

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

Nice. Have fun with it. Congratulations on your retirement. I retired earlier this year.

[@TheMarkBell]

Woohoo we got a boom. 👌

[@markgalicic7788]

we did!

[@RichardJohnson-b5n]

Yay for retirement! I do recommend it. But, it helps to have something to retire to as you do.

[@theprof_001]

Good show. Jolly’s good! 👍

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you.

I personally like the knots and stuff. Gives personality.

[@markgalicic7788]

some people do.

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

Nice log. Looks good and solid.

[@markgalicic7788]

not bad.

[@marklapierre5629]

Nothing wrong with cherry, or scarlet oak, or big pine logs. They all turn into usable lumber.

[@byron7165]

12:30 some really great feature in that log. Lovin' it.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Byron.

[@ScottHollis-p4n]

Jeeeece, Mark.....I didn't think you were old enough to retire!😮

[@rebelsqk]

Probably reaching the max or min pension point? That's my guess

[@markgalicic7788]

I will be 60 this May and this will be my new job.

[@rodkirt9273]

I might suggest , that you get a powered hand planer to remove the “ left-over “ undercut “ rag “ on the very large saw logs : a powered hand planner would zip off the corner of the logs in just a second or two .

[@rodkirt9273]

I have watched every episode of this saw blade since it was installed : I noticed that ( in the sheen of the light reflecting from it ) , that the saw is showing the beginning stages of “ quartering “ where the tension of the blade might need for a saw-hammer to “ straight edge “ the saw and adjust the saw’s tension . When a saw “ quarters tension “ it is extremely difficult to hammer the saw back to right . 🤷‍♂️ I have 8 years of experience working as the sawyer and ( both ) working in the saw-filing room where the saw-hammer ried to teach me the ( nearly lost art ) of hammering saws . I assisted him with the saws and sharpened all the the knives , chipper blades and planer mill knives for the entire sawmill .

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Oak had nice grain and always get the slack out of a rack and pinion. Happy week and GBWYall !Q

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Lewie.

[@redbonemike17]

Great Video Mark ...... Congrats on the retirement countdown......only 456 days left for me but who's counting 😂

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , I can't wait to do what I want to do!

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Nice Mark - Beautiful wood.... If i had a lot of that would i would make me a Texas Sherriff's Office in my spare Bedroom. Yep Beautiful thanks guys >>> from SE Texas Bear ❤💯🙏

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Barry.

[@GaryLeonhardt-bf2gh]

That oak looks pretty dry, no wonder it took Zz so long to cut the end off, much harder to cut when they are dry.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Good to see the "A"team at "work" on a brisk day.😊

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Ronald.

[@stannelson2582]

Mark it’s black oak that is the most sticky and for the longest time right? Pretty sure that’s the oak I’m cutting for firewood is in my yard. It’s quite the welcoming smell after work. Or is that me lol. Well done today!

[@PitViper329]

Not bored with the cherry, Mark. :)

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Your description of cutting ironing boards. I remember when I was a wee lad,my mother birthday comes around. She was looking forward to nice gift from dad 😅He have her one. A new ironing board. I don't think this was what she was looking for.I still had two brothers at home,so plenty of ironing ahead 😅

[@markgalicic7788]

great story lol.

[@juankuan1298]

That is some great and interesting grain in that log, ya never know until you cut it open, it's like opening a present every single day.....sometimes the surprise is well worth the wait, even with defects.😀

[@markgalicic7788]

very true Juan.

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Nice NEW debarred. Works good on that log.😂

[@markgalicic7788]

true lol.

[@remmiemax3624]

Great Video>>BOOM, Man-Glitter & made something out of nothing 😎😎👍👍💯💯

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Greg.

[@leroyroettgen8442]

Mark, maybe you can contact a major oil company to sponsor you with enough synthetic hydraulic oil to do a change over in the mill. Cold temps wouldn't affect it and make it easier on your pump at the start. Hang the oil company's banner from the oil line support.

[@markgalicic7788]

great idea.

[@_Boregard_Rippy_]

... Barbed Wire and Roses ...!

[@markgalicic7788]

true lol.

[@byron7165]

You don't need a top saw either. Y'all have exactly the equipment you need for the milling you do.

[@markgalicic7788]

true.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Those Stihl chainsaws are tough to stop. I was looking at that piece with the barbed wire ZZ cut off and I was thinking it would be interesting to split. Nice looking lumber come out of that log. You'd be surprised how many trees in our area had fencing in them.

[@markgalicic7788]

I love my Stihl saws , I may split them up for firewood.

[@garygraham6020]

Do you have any videos sawing my favorite wood? Black Walnut! I don’t remember seeing any.

[@clarencetrice4442]

😊😊 HI MARK I like 👍 😊 the red cherry 🍒 😊 and red cedar trees 🌳 😊 myself they look good and smell great 👍 😊 also 😊😊 OMG 11 18 2O24

[@richparks1966]

Only Scratch'n Stiff circle saw mill in PA. Mark: "We've got a guest today in the cab. Rick,"....with his face polished bright Brass Knuckle jewelry, just another guy who loaned me money decades ago who happened to find me.

[@mckinleygoetz9855]

It doesn't matter what type of log it is, you all will produce a beautiful stack of lumber.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks McKinley.

[@EarthFolk-bp5fm]

Never bord with cherry but this was nice . Cheers

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks , more cherry on the way.

[@stingray427man]

Surprised at the inside of that oak, a lil knotty id say but the grain is pretty nice

[@markgalicic7788]

yes this is scarlet oak.

[@mckinleygoetz9855]

I love a Stihl chainsaw.

[@markgalicic7788]

a great saw.

[@paulweinmann-gw2sm]

Hey Mark, how come no cherry? lol I love your videos!

[@markgalicic7788]

more cherry to come.

[@williamturkewitschturkewit1549]

Check out Temple Hill sawmill. 62" blade, lots of nice big logs 😊

[@markgalicic7788]

yes Shannon is running a 60" B-pattern saw , Mike McCoy's old Frick 01- C timber tiger mill pulled by a 671.

[@albedo2823]

Z Z needs a KZbin channel

[@markgalicic7788]

he just may lol.

[@cedricgates9976]

wondering how ya know what your sawing next,what people order or what ya have more of

[@markgalicic7788]

just what we have to saw and special orders.

[@grizboyyhenderson7388]

You don't do 16' lengths?

[@markgalicic7788]

we do but not hardwood.

[@AuditRecon]

I would love to have those 1st couple of pieces. They would look real good for charcuterie boards. As a former carpenter I could turn those into some nice looking boards for use at the Winery I work at. How could I get you to save those for me?

[@markgalicic7788]

are you near us in western PA?

[@David-k9o9v]

You going to grow beard out like Eddy and ZZ

[@markgalicic7788]

I don't think so lol.

[@BarnyardEngineering]

Hey Mark, I have a few cherry trees that I'm considering getting sawed up. What do you recommend as a good generic, general purpose log length for sawing? I'm thinking 10' plus a few inches. I don't really have a purpose for it at this time, just want to have some lumber around for future projects.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes the longer is better but make sure it is straight and cut it over by 4" to 6" for trimming after it dries.

[@rebelsqk]

That is a good number. However 8+ and 12+ are good even 6+ or less. If you just want some lumber, all lengths of it are good for something! Take the most the trees will give you. No two are the same. That's my two cents.

[@erikleorga]

Full time sawmill? That'll be a change.

[@markgalicic7788]

sawmill and shop.

[@erikleorga]

@@markgalicic7788 I envy you Mark. I can't get enough sawmilling with my mill and the time spent in the garage. Damned job getting in the way.

[@kennethengel8069]

Question for you? Do you have much cedar in Pennsylvania? Or do you get the chance to cut much?

[@markgalicic7788]

no we don't they are small yard cedars and hard to find.

[@williamellis8993]

Don't forget scarlet and gray for Ohio State. Bill

[@brucemcmillan8750]

you have a lot of lumber sitting out front

🙋‍♀️👍❤️

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Sharon.

[@garykersteiner4936]

Is there a reason that you don't saw railroad ties from low quality logs. You could save the ties until you had enough to ship. Seems like you could make a few extra bucks.

[@markgalicic7788]

we never got into sawing ties just not set up for it.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Always good when you can make something out of nothing.

[@markgalicic7788]

it's a great thing Richard.

[@garywhelton9304]

[@markgalicic7788]

you got it Gary.

[@bpedoniquott7971]

5 yrs ago took the package the door didn't come close behind me

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it's time for me to go.

[@dogit1840]

💥💥🍔🍻🐿️

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks.

[@OddBall1958]

My guess is you have a reason for the bar on that chainsaw being upside down. I did that once with mine and the oil passage wasn't right. Just sayin'.

[@JosephHussey-s4f]

Stihl recommends rotating the saw blade each time you swap chains. The blade has two oiler holes to allow this. That way the blade wears evenly.

[@gipsysmith3383]

Need a bigger chainsaw

[@markgalicic7788]

no.
