sawing a 32 inch white pine # 203

A nice friday eve video for you, we had a 32" old piece of white pine that needed sawed so here it is! hope you enjoy!

[@brianhenson2395]

When I was 14 I worked in a sawmill very much like this one; a two man operation. I was paid $1 an hour after school to clean up after the days cutting was done. I'd clean out under the saw and then haul the bark in an old dump truck and dump it into a gully at the back of the property. I loved it. I managed to buy some groceries every week and still save enough to buy my first guitar. I'm 75 and I can smell the fresh pine as clear as if it was yesterday. Thank you for posting this video.

I enjoy seeing you starting with a large log, explaining what you are doing and working slowly and carefully making it smaller and more manageable while always making sure everyone is safe. I have lots of respect for you and how you make your videos. I'm glad I found you and not someone else. 😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏

Good job Mark. I've watched all your video's and this is the first I ever commented. I'll date myself, I learned to saw when I was a kid on an old Frick Double-Aught Hand Set. I'm an old man now. I still cut big timber, and saw lumber for my own farm use. Forty years ago, I had twenty men working in the woods cutting timber for me. It is great to see so many people interested in your video's. Keep up the good work!

Mark, I don't understand why it's so interesting to watch a sawmill at work but your videos have caught my attention and as a woodworker, I wouldn't mind saying I'd love to do volunteer work there even to shovel sawdust. Unfortunately, I live in the coastal area of NC. I'm originally from Erie but the Marine Corps transplanted me here 30 years ago and we stayed mostly to get away from the snow.....but we now live in "HURRICANE ALLEY" LOL! Maybe not so much LOL! Keep the great videos coming, I really appreciate them!

We got a new Case dozer fitted with a 4-71 Detroit. Years later I built a trucking company up and my first diesel was a cab over GMC with a 6-71 in it.

[@michealmorrow1481]

I enjoyed that big old ugly. You did the best you could with it. Not much useful but, maybe with judicious edging and some cutting off ends where the cracks are, maybe something useful might have emerged. That's part of the fun of watching these. You NEVER know what's going to come into view with the next cut. Sap pockets, anyone???

[@infoanorexic]

Some "fine & fancy whittlin' " going on there. I find myself understanding a little more of the madness to the method on each of those huge logs. Matt Cremona just posted on bringing home logs from a massive cherry, probably one of the record sizes in Iowa. That is going to make an interesting sawing video ... or three. I think even master dog would find it difficult to get a bite on that one.

[@bwillan]

Matt measured that one at 12'4" in circumference at 4.5' off the ground. Which would make it 47" in diameter. Rather easy to saw with his extra wide bandsaw mill.

I could be wrong but it looks like there’s an edger right next to where they pile the boards with wane on them, j was also wondering to but then I seen what kinda looks like the rollers and the lever to move blades in or out, if that is an edger they should make a video of them pushing boards through it

[@garymontesano5903]

With such a large check running through the heart, I wonder if it would have made sense to start there, first cutting through it on one side, then turning the log to do the other. With two halves, you might have had better options to avoid serious checking and access a better grade of wood. Once the log is open like that, the view from the inside is invaluable.
