Relax to a Combined Hour of Saw-Milling and De-Barking! #86

[@esg-e5h]

This is the best sawmill for me! Efficient, practical, time and effort-saving. Operating a sawmill like this is a real big deal. I salute the owner and operator of this sawmill. You’re indeed a rare breed!

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Thank you for commenting! It takes a lifetime to learn🥵 spread my channel around:) I want to video everything eventually

[@marktaylor2644]

great video. I like watching the de-barker as much or possibly more than I do the sawing.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I’m going to try to get more on here!!! I just have no idea how well it will do or not:) Bit I think an hour format de barker video is necessary

[@DanielParadis-sr5nh]

Great looking lumber! Thank you for sharing your video!

[@woodnewf3847]

A little bit of everything. Some gnarly nasty logs on the debarker. Excellent.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Eventually, I want to put everything on here!

[@richardbritton5280]

amazing sawing nice wood ty

[@arkansas1336]

I never thought about a debarker and log meshing together like gears but they work effectively together. Thanks for the video, really beautiful lumber from the log near the 50 minute mark!

[@karencary3312]

I am enjoying!!!!

[@SandraEesti86]

its Nice to watch all that with 2X speed !!

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I used to upload videos like that!! People were leaving awful comments🤦‍♂️ But I’m glad you like it!! I also do this on KZbin shorts

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Good video 😊 Your saw is running smooth since the rebuild 👍

[@jimharbison7589]

Awesome video, when you get in the groove Ian you produce alot of board feet of lumber, Sam is becoming a great camera man!thanks for the scare Sam lol

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

My dad has been filming the last couple videos!!

[@jimharbison7589]

@@Helmsburgsawmill well he's doing a great job

[@mpd-diy-guy4241]

You should name the debarker, Chewbacca, the disintegrator.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Chewbacca it is!! I love it😂

[@Jrski11]

Hang a Chewbacca sign on it with a pic of the beast himself.

[@djohn1405]

17:15 Great angles, the one earlier was like we were going to get hit by the log…camera man getting up close and personal. Hooah!

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Ya I got my dad a better camera stick😂

[@djohn1405]

Hey Ian, enjoyed the video as always. I know I’m probably by myself, but I do like it when you explain what you’re cutting and what dimensions the wood is bring cut into.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Yes!! So I took a hint from a fellow KZbinr! He said leave some questions un answered, and answer them when people ask in the comments! So I can increase KZbin traffic;) I was going for 12” blocks, and ripping 1x12’s as the primary out of the big logs!

[@CarnivoreCurin]

Tell who everyone who works recording videos they do a good job at it.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I sure will!

[@peterlosangelos4108]

Suggestion: insert video of offload handling station in bottom left of the screen

[@SkenderZyka]

Owesome job buddy, thank you for the video , man that debarker doesn't look much but its impressive

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It sure gets the job done!! It’s so fun to run too:)

[@chrisd3884]

If the debarker operator would slow the feedrate down, there would be no need for a costly and time-consuming second pass. In addition, it would also reduce wear on the machine and extend the duration between its maintenance requirements. 🤔 👍

[@CarnivoreCurin]

John ask: Ian, do you do the debarking, or do you have a debarker man. Sometimes, do you think that the debarker man digs too deep into the logs?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

My dad is the de-barker man! And the de-barker is more than capable of digging too deep. It may not seem like it on camera, but it’s kind of finicky to run. Especially with all its kinks😂

[@CarnivoreCurin]

John said: Yeah, the camera might be discorting the view. Is your dad the owner of the sawmill? I wish I owned mine until it breaks down. Then I am glad that it belongs to someone else.

[@paulweakley3440]

Where does all the bark mulch go?

[@chrisd3884]

Do you try to salvage burls for woodworkers? 🤔

[@brianwestveer9532]

What dose the de-barker look like, it really chews that bark off.

[@98f12-h7g]

Where have you been , missed yall.

[@mpd-diy-guy4241]

What’s the purpose of debarking, are you trying to get a better live edge or is it simply to remove dirt, rocks and whatever before it gets to the saw blade? Also, do you use a metal detector before working the logs?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Yes it’s because the bark holds dirt and gravel! And every once in a while we’ll use a metal detector. They have massive ones you can run logs through, but those are very expensive😳

[@CarnivoreCurin]

John asked: do you think there is any market for Locust? Is there a significant amount of locust trees in our area?

[@CarnivoreCurin]

Ruth and I always play the video all the way to the end. Is there any cut, or is it protected in the state?

[@marklindberg2230]

What do you do with all the waste?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

All of the bark mulch, saw-dust, and white wood (grinder), gets sold to customers:)

[@phildo39645]

What happens to all the sawdust/bark chips?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

They’re swept out of the building with a barn sweep. And blowers are hooked up right below the head saw and edgers. They blow it out of the building into a funnel that send it into a bin

[@DaveStoneburner]

do you ever mill Black Walnut?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Yes! I’ve got a little batch set aside for when we have time!

[@markmessner4554]

Really don’t like the camera angle. Too close to the blade

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Thank you! Just experimenting
