I get sawdust envy watching you. I like your mill!!!!!

[@johns8771]

Brings back memories. Back in the 80's I worked for a company that bought out the Frick line of products. We were still building and selling carriages and saws that were made from cast parts. Fitting up the components of the setworks was a huge pain in the rear. It took a lot of sanding and fitment to get everything working smoothly. Whoever put this mill together did a good job as evidenced by the easy pull to move the log and components.

hi there was that Allbitght , john

[@TKCL]

I love seeing that saw mill run and that engine sounds great!

[@fricknjeep]

thanks john

[@raginroadrunner]

Ive been around these mills for many decades and this is by far the most dangerous rig I have ever seen. I would not be caught anywhere near this contraption.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there what makes it more dangerous than any other mill of its age , thanks john

[@12ar34sw]

Well, the movie is done. The coffee has been drank. It’s time to go back to work. Thanks for the movie. Alan

[@fricknjeep]

thanks for the watch have a great day , have 2 to saw today before rain john

[@TheFlyingfarmer28170]

I love the sound of that Detroit engine! I have a 671 in my 70 Gmc grain truck. When I get my logs dirty, use the pressure washer on them. Have a Great Day!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there no water back here john

[@peterekoske5386]

Cool young man keep up the good work

[@barrydrover4308]

I love sawing lumber ,thank you so much for this .I miss my sawmill

[@fricknjeep]

hi there because i don't sell my lumber just use it in house most the time . i really don't saw that much . thanks for dropping in john

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

Thanks for sharing another informative video with us John. Like I've mentioned in other videos you've uploaded, I enjoy watching a man working in an environment he's familiar and comfortable in. Thank you Sir. Stan

[@fricknjeep]

thanks john

[@SuperHurdman]

Ha ha Great informational Video on how the old mill work I shared it with a youtuber I follow! Sawing with Sandy he would get a kick out it as I take it he hasn't seen one working! Tks!

[@randallherrell9110]

First summer job I had after high school was splitting off the saw to the edger and slab line. I’ve always loved sawing wood, it’s so rewarding turning trees into nice clean lumber. I would probably still be doing it if I could have made a living at it. Great video, live well and be safe.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i like it also . hope to get back at it when the weather brakes . thanks for stopping by john

[@robertjordan4691]

I’ll bet the local tree huggers association would enjoy this video. Nice looking wood.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there yes it is nice lumber john

[@hillbill5448]

I just bought one of these mills, my journey to a board is still a bit off. international power plant.. I ran it back in the 80s for about 5 years. it just happened to be available... HB

[@neilmackenzie8345]

belts are set perfect ;no creep, saws like a damn . love the roll away transfer deck ...I'm jealous , nice set up , where's mine lol

[@fricknjeep]

thanks for stopping by john

[@mistervacation23]

My daddy, worked down there at the sawmill, down at the planer mill for an old man named Dixon. Ol' Man Dixon was a very cruel feller, didn't treat his employees very well. Didn't pay'em too much of a wage, didn't pay my daddy too much of a wage.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there sorry to hear that . john

[@stephenkirby5719]

Worked myself at a saw mill where I grew up newer equipment than this though but still work hard Buckhorn was the name of the mill then changed to Peachtree lumber still running today western nc

[@survivingmaineona20acrefar77]

Those logs were worth bringing home for sure beautiful lumber your making there.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there yes they are nice

[@J.R.in_WV]

Sounds like a 4-71 powering that mill to my ear, lot of those old mills with detroits powering them still around. I just got a 6-71 power unit hooked up to a buddies mill to replace a sickly 4-53 a few months back, sure made a big difference in blade speed, no more big drops in RPM’s on the hard stuff. Sure electric mills are “cleaner” and band saw mills are now the norm but it’s just not the same as having that old diesel wound up and that big circular blade screaming while you pull the carriage through.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there good ear my other mill has a 6-71 . thanks for watching john

[@country4lyfe365]

You sir. Are an artist. Beautiful lumber.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there thank you it turned out ok john

[@boomdaddymaxwell]

This was so neat, thank you! I will absolutely be sharing this with my dad

[@fricknjeep]

hi there late but thanks for stopping by john

[@timbarry5080]

That mill is awesome

[@andrewmantle7627]

The more I watch these videos, the more I can see your reasoning about what you are doing with the log. Nice work John.

[@fricknjeep]

thanks for the watch john

[@dubya2514]

My best friends grandad had an old mill like that, I can remember he was missing all of his fingers on his right hand, except for the thumb and pinky, I was only a small kid at the time, but it perplexed me where his went.😁

[@grazynazambeanie5963]

someone sure knows how to bench a round saw

[@fricknjeep]

hi there yes thanks john

[@timothymilam732]

I've always thought that knots give the wood character myself, but that others see them as defects. Well if they weren't there, how would some people know the difference between the two. Reason being, not all things in life come perfect, and without a few defects everything would be boring is how I see it. Translate that however you choose.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i think you are right . If everyone liked vanilla ice cream they wouldn't make choclate . thanks john

[@joestreet7036]

Just wondering why you didn't turn log other way after first cut.wouldn't need level then

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i am guessing you mean 180 from the first cut , to hard for a 1 man band . these bigger logs are so out of balance after you take the first side off . so sometimes its a lot easier to do it this way. john

[@johnvitro5908]

cool movie thx

[@fricknjeep]

thanks john

[@bobwoodhams7242]

John I have never sawn a log that way but you made it work........good job

[@fricknjeep]

hi there never did it that way my self .Trying not to hit dirt at the top of the log. it turned out to work better than i thought . it was a lot easier to turn up . john

[@TKCL]

Was the brush used to get dirt out of the bark to keep from dulling your blade?

[@fricknjeep]

hi down there i was trying get the dirt off the log . blades don't like dirt. it dulls them fast thanks for the watch john

[@Volodymyr-ql4oh]

Техніка безпеки на найвищому рівні.😂😊

[@fricknjeep]

thank you john

[@carlgomm9699]

I have a good question for you, I've never been around a Frick mill,what are some differences between a Frick and a Lane mill ?

[@fricknjeep]

hi there good question but i have never been around a lane but there basically the same i think . thanks for stopping by john

[@Biggestfoot10209]

Just wondering why you bring the carriage, if that’s what it’s called, back towards you before you pull the board back. Thanks John I sure there’s a good reason

[@charlesbrown6925]

Wow, that is one nice sawyer. Is that an old Detroit powered motor? Puts out some quality boards. We had an old timer down the road about a mile , that used to cut lumber. He has since passed and I believe his lumber mill is just sitting, rotting away. Some one could step in and buy it for a song.

[@michellehoefer5922]

Thank you for the video.Could you show your throttle linkage setup?

[@fricknjeep]

hi there might be a while . rain coming in for a few days . its a cable thanks john

[@jiminycricket2230]

Poplar wood is garbage around here (black poplar anyway) because it rots from the inside and can be alve and standing there but the core is gone out of it and blows over in the wind. White poplar is the good stuff as I understand it. Good movie just like always John!!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there this here is called Tulip Popular . its pretty good out of the weather wood thanks john

[@Ecclesiasticus]

What an amazing machine. I would love to work on it, but even more than that i would love to build it.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there they are out there for sale .Thanks for stopping in and giving me a watch. Merry Christmas to all . john

[@kevinhonaker9468]

You need to get a pick a roon to reach and pull those boards back away from the saw

[@lloydwilliams8715]

Great job 👍👌

[@fricknjeep]

thanks john

[@ronbuckner8179]

You don’t know until you know , You know?

[@ablelock]

I like the movies that you make but you just don’t make them long enough I like the 30 minute ones when you’re cutting up several logs and when you’re doing lots of things it’s interesting to watch not every movie needs to be that long but it would be nice to throw in some long ones along with short ones. To give us a variety.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there thanks john

[@Diogenes425]

6 cyl Cummins?

[@fricknjeep]

hi there 471 detriot ;So glad you stopped in and gave it a watch ,Hoped you liked it , And have a Merry Christmas thank you john

[@Russ4844]

You must be learning to saw or you would know the set points to saw a 8 inch width it’s all width of kerf plus 1 1/8 for. 4 / 4 lumber

[@fricknjeep]

hi there still learning , thanks for stopping in john

[@MichelPeindaries]

je comprends pas trop cette façon de procéder , c est quand même plus facile de faire une coupe à l équerre en faisant reposer la grume sur le plat et non sur le rond

[@dougclem7711]

Dries one inch/year.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there that is a good average thanks john

[@onlyinmaine3290]

why is this tree so popular ? it is just a Poplar log

[@tomharrington1393]

👍👍

[@fricknjeep]

thanks john

[@robertallen5358]

Popular or Poplar. ???

[@fricknjeep]

hi there not sure a saw log tho thanks for stopping in john

[@markhicks8377]

for every pass made you will lose about a 3/8 of an inch

[@fricknjeep]

hi there not that much about 1/4 , why do you ask , john

that blade needs guard for so many reasons

[@andydelle4509]

With all due respect, this guy makes my skin crawl the way he reaches around that blade. I know he is highly experienced but Murphy as in Murphy's Law is always hanging around! Wouldn't some kind of hook pulling stick be safer?

[@fricknjeep]

hi there the camera makes it look a lot worse then it really is , but yes murphy is always around . thanks for stopping in john

hi there well i can see why you say that but it is not to bad , its been done this way for years , , thanks for stopping in john
