Not sure, but from your looks, I'm guessing that I'm older than you are. Still working 40+ hrs. a week tho in the construction field. What I've learned about aging is that my eyesight, hand dexterity, and agility on my feet have gradually lessened. It makes what we do for a living more hazardous than it once was. I slightly misjudge where my feet and fingers are. I stumble on things that I never would have 10yrs ago. Be more careful. We don't notice the decline sneaking up on us. Love the video.

I love watching the old Sawmills in action, I was good friends with the Sawyer in town that had an Old Sawmill and used to watch it in operation all the time. It's only dangerous when you don't know what you're doing, but it does look like you could use a helper, although finding a good helper that's not going to kill himself in the process of helping you is tough to find. So sometimes you're better off by yourself instead of the helper hurting himself

I've been around these mills as a helper and of course I been around many a tool. Love these old saws. We have a tendency to become complacent when we do a thing for a long time and become good at it. Consider your mishap a reminder to self correct bad habits we learned due to over confidence and wanting to be efficient. Suggestion: If you wish to continue with reaching out and pulling the board away from the blade after its cut, consider using your other hand (your left). Reason: it is further away from the blade and you'll be reaching toward the blade straight on or perpendicular to the blade. The left arm; as you stood, naturally the elbow bends out away from the blade and unlike the right arm not toward the cutting path of the blade. Be safe. Work smart and keep cutting - lumber.

Hello John. I am a Master Carpenter specialising in Georgian and Victorian restoration and have been working safely for 47 years in the industry. I have responsibility for 8 people in my workshop. I agree that woodworking methods and machines in the past were extremely dangerous compared to today's safety standards, but that is no justification to be a Luddite. I have a few machines that are older than your saw and I have upgraded these with 8 second stop electric brakes, suitable guards and forced air extraction. Your driving analogy is irrelevant to your woodworking scenario. A more accurate question would be, "Have you ever driven down a road completely drunk, disabled the air bags whilst travelling at twice the speed limit "? And the answer is no. I haven't done this because everyone has a duty of care to minimise risk. In your scenario, you had total decision as to whether you took a high-risk strategy, or whether you took the safest route. You chose the former and the outcome was inevitable and predictable. What is saddest for me is your lack of contrition and absolved liability for safe woodworking practice. You would not be employed in my company as, with that mindset you would pose too high a risk.

Hit EM Bad. I was in a mill very similar to this.. Belt drive and leather laced belts. 1978 - I got to the mill - a week after this happened. Sawyer pulled a log on the deck, He set the carriage to pull the first cut. What no one knew - is a steel bullet was hidden in the tree. I think it was a 60 or 72 inch saw. About half way thru the first cut - The was a roar out of the saw blade - and the strong-backs where broken out of the saw - and they fired the teeth into the roof - over the carriage in a line - and the teeth sounded like shots out of a firearm, as the embedded in a line - into the roof.. In my mind - there is a canterman, to roll the logs on the carriage. A carriage rider - dog-man - set the dogs when needed - The sawyer controlled the carriage. A good sawyer - would never have a carriage not moving. The canterman and dogman - and the sawyer worked as a team. Before they spun the saw - the sawyer briefed them on what they wanted the most of. The sawyer never touched a board - because getting finger width distance from the saw - was something they - the owner did not approve of. So - where the board fell - there was trim saw - edgerman - he ran the boards thru a gang saw - and made boards. A Pilot - was on the edge of this stickering and piling everything - 12x12, 14x14 - 16x16. 4x24x32 ft - Wet - Hemlock. I was that guy for 2 summers. I love the old time rigs.

Been There Done That. . . Porcelain Insulators just Grind Every Tooth Down to a Stump. The old Glass Insulators aren't any better. I've Nicked the dogs a couple times (as did the Sawyer Before Me and the one before him) but got by it quick enough to just knock the corner off of one side of a Couple Teeth. Nails generally take out more teeth than that depending on what angle you hit them at.

There is a reason why workers comp/OSHA made it a requirement to have safety cages and operator booths with plexiglass protection on these head rig/carriage mills! You might say these are real men but accidents happened all time injuring men very badly quite regularly! A piece of metal in the log can shatter the blade sending high speed chunks of blade flying! Absolutely killing everyone in its path!

Retired cabinet here. Once he hit the dog the safe thing is to stop and check the blade for damage. A damaged blade could cause more accidents. Also you can hear how the motor is lagging after the hit because it is ruined. Always listen to your machines. They tell you how they are working!

Saw runs towards the good side when corners are knocked off one side or most of them. Its like front brakes on car if one stopped working it would pull to the side that is. Most would believe knocking entire tooth out would make saw mark cant and / or board but no. If a corner is missing even one tooth it is pulled to the good side and thats what will mark.
@aneyesky8 ай бұрын
As a person who doesn’t understand why this is a near fatal - it must be that blade as big as it is could have sent shrapnel into you had the dog or blade or both sheared off at those high speeds? Glad you’re okay. I can picture some bureaucrat watching this thinking,” If only I could make a law demanding every wood mill be retrofitted with an automatic sensor that would prevent this…” I almost couldn’t watch this. Each time the saw would cycle and you reached in there to flip the board over - I kept thinking here it comes. But there is something satisfying about watching that man and machine do it’s thing.

I have cut wood for 40 years doing firewood. Back in the 90s I saw a guy whack a leg at the calf where it joins the abdomin clean off. The loader operator was knocking down trees I heard a faint oh over the noise then I saw the dozer operator his eyes lunged out of his head he said top of his lungs H---y S*** Tourniquet that s-- O- a B--- he was telling the other guy cutting had a shirt he tied deathgrip tight around the leg then yelled CALL 911 911. It is a very memorable unforgettable experience to see someone's body one place and their leg lying in the woods. The adrenaline and the tourniquet saved his life. You don't forget seeing in person a near fatal accident like that. That was AWFUL. Ole Bubba cut His leg off.
