Rail-Road Tie Saw-Milled in 1 Minute 38 Seconds! #69

[@Skip-n1c]

I was a sawyer from age 18 until I was 25 and swaged and hand filed the 52” blade I sawed with. I straddled the blade as I filed so each tooth edge was straight across. There is a lot of satisfaction when a saw run straight and true and makes short work of a grade oak log.

You sharpening your saws by hand reminds me of my Grandpa doing the same with his circular saws. Me: I preferred the automatic grinders. Set it up and walk away. That is great looking off cuts.

Thank you for pointing out the tone difference before vs after filing, I definitely would have had questions if you didn't 👍 Good video 😊

[@arkansas1336]

Beautiful sawing, thanks for the video.

[@martywade5519]

I could watch debarking videos all day long

Glad you’re back, hope you had a nice break…now let’s get to cutting some logs and make some money. 2:55

[@ronsatzler5771]

Would like more detail as to how the up and down positions of the two small horizontal blades are controlled----automatic sensors or manual or both 🤔

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Completely manual!

[@STMwoodturning]

I'm curious how often you have to sharpen the blades. I suppose it depends some the species and quality of log. Could you give an average for the most common varieties you saw?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It’s about a day and half if I don’t hit anything!

[@martywade5519]

Especially good debarking videos like you were making

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

One’s coming!

[@robertgreen8695]

Nice bit of work there on the whole operation, but isn't a high speed run hard on the blade and motor(s)?

[@djohn1405]

Something I’d like to know is how much footage you get from the logs you cut on your videos and how many different sizes you get per log.

[@dustinmcglocklin7429]

One big log is what is videoed and we do multiple per shift but there is only 3 of us 😂

[@dustinmcglocklin7429]

It’s alot of everyone has every job type of thing

[@dustinmcglocklin7429]

We are all hands on deck 💪🏻

Railway ties are called sleepers in Australia and are now being manufactured from concrete more and more.

[@beebop9808]

Skipped the saw filing cuz that file screech making my dogs bark their brains out isn't the greatest sound on earth. hahaha

[@lastplacetrophy3821]

Great video. IMO you missed a key opportunity; after saying "the greatest sound in the world" just cut in audio of a woman saying "Yes honey, you're right- I think I do want to go Go-kart racing for my birthday".

[@CharlesElliott-wj6bs]

I thought finger nails on a chalkboard was the best noise

[@deksper]

A 'singing' (squealing) file is a bad sign on 2 counts.

[@LooneyFarmGuy]

Nails on a chalkboard 🤢😂

[@braddobson2060]

Why do you debark

[@woodnewf3847]

Bark is full of dirt, sand, rocks, all kinds of materials that are unfriendly to sharp saw teeth
