Paul Bunyan show # 232

[@markk164]

I worked in museums for nearly 40 years and we used plexiglass for most framing projects. There are several products for cleaning plex but plain old soapy water will do as well. Soft cloth and soapy water and viola, clean unscratched glazing.

Brilliant show, lots of big stuff to drool over, not sure if we have shows like that in UK, Love the T Shirts too,,,

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Michael.

Really Enjoed It! God Bless

[@randallknowles9240]

Nice visual tour of the Paul Bunyan show! Lots of impressive equipment with impressive price tags to go with it! Thanks for the white pine sawing video! Beautiful wide boards! Good to see cousin Eddie back at the mill! Take care this week.

[@jimpumphrey7713]

Nice looking boards for sure. A near perfect log.

[@kypersonality]

Was awesome seeing all these new, shiny machines. I was in KZbin heaven. Not at all trying to be negative, but all new machines look amazing until they're used for the first time. :D I agree with you that the machines you have at the mill still rock however even if they're not quite as shiny. :D

[@alanm3438]

Wow, that log bandsaw and leveling machine was huge. I never saw a leveler that big. One of my KZbin channels that I watch, "Only In Japan", he hands out a "You found me in Japan" when a follower finds him. I was surprised that more followers did not find you. You are like a movie star to me.

[@user-zn7hf3df2v]

We were there but missed seeing you. Wanted to meet you both. My husband and I both enjoy watching you guys.

[@markgalicic7788]

that's too bad , we will be there next year.

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

Ok, time for a little history lesson. Paul Bunyan is not a real person. It's American "fakelore" adopted from a real logger. Joseph "Jos" Montferrand ( born October 25, 1802 - October 4, 1864). He was a French-Canadian logger, strongman, and folk hero of the working man. Joseph Montferrand, dit Favre, was born in the St. Lawrence district of Montreal in 1802. The family men were known for their strength and powerful build. Joe was 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) tall with blue eyes and fair hair. Although he was mild in manner and appearance, he could more than hold his own in a street fight. He successfully challenged several famed boxers during his youth. He came to fame as a result of a challenge issued at a boxing match in the Champ de Mars, Montreal. Two English-speaking boxers had just fought for the championship. The organizers then asked if there was anyone in the crowd who wished to challenge the champion of Canada. The 16-year-old Montferrand stepped into the ring and with one punch, felled the (former) champion. News of this surprising event spread quickly. At the age of 21, he joined the Hudson's Bay Company as a voyageur. In 1827, he began work as a logger on the Rivière du Nord in Lower Canada and then moved to the upper Ottawa River. The loggers felled trees over the winter and then drove the logs down the river, eventually arriving at Quebec City. Montferrand would also briefly have a stint in the United States, working for the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire. 165  Montferrand spent the remainder of his working years in the lumber trade in the Outaouais. There was ongoing animosity between Anglophones and Francophones and frequent fights between English-, Irish-, and French-Canadian loggers. Montferrand's prowess with his fists and boots was legendary in avenging the wrongs he and his compatriots were subjected to. Montferrand defended French-Canadian workers against gangs of Irish immigrants known as "Shiners" in the Bytown area. After 1840, he mainly worked the log drives as foreman and retired in 1857. In his later years, he had back and joint pain. He died in Montreal in 1864, aged 61. Montferrand's legendary nickname, Big Joe Mufferaw (also sometimes spelled Muffero, Muffera, Muffraw), is believed to be a result of English speakers mispronouncing "Montferrand" phonetically. Already a legitimate folk hero in his own time, his reputation grew into the mythical hero when exaggerated tales were told about him. Like Paul Bunyan, he became the subject of many similar tall tales. Mufferaw is sometimes enlisted as a defender of oppressed French Canadian loggers in the days when their bosses were English-Canadians and their rivals for work were Irish-Canadian criminals. In one story, Big Joe was in a Montreal bar, where a British army major named Jones was freely insulting French Canadians. After Big Joe beat the major, he bellowed, "Any more insults for the Canadians?" Some Mufferaw tales take place in the northeast United States. French Canadian writer Benjamin Sulte told this man's story in a 1884 book. He also is the subject of a chapter in Joan Finnigan's 1981 book Giants of the Ottawa Valley and her 1983 book Look! The Land Is Growing Giants. Bernie Bedore of Arnprior also wrote several books recounting Joe's adventures. Stompin' Tom Connors made him the hero of a 1970 song. A statue of Joe Mufferaw was erected outside of the Mattawa Museum in Mattawa, Ontario, during the spring of 2005. It was carved by local carving artist Peter Cianafrani, and was his last statue before he died later in the spring. A plaque commemorating his name sits at the base of the statue. He was also the inspiration for the Big Joe mascot of the Ottawa Redblacks CFL team. Great video though. Stay safe guys.

[@scotthunt9529]

Good afternoon, I want to say I really enjoy your videos. I have been a carpenter/wood worker for years but I have just bought my first mill (Timberking Belsaw) and I am really looking forward to the restoration and use. I really like your sawing technique and would really like to see you quarter saw one of those big oaks on the circle mill.
