[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Great video Mark :) Real good to see Pete "Bunyan" lol doing well, looking good too. To buy a blade and set of teeth would be quite a bit of sawn and sold lumber to take care of that expense. I would imagine by looking at your metal detector it is not a cheap one, BUT has paid for itself many many times over :) Thanks for bringing us along all the way from SE Texas :) ❤💯🙏

Mr. Mark. I am not much of a computer person...And i just started watching you tube!! The algorithm put me on to girls in see through pagamas. I was getting ready to turn it off for good...and then you popped up. I have worked in a hvac. plant for the last 16+ years... but before that my life was wood. I was actually born on a sawdust pile. Saw a couple af your videos and i am hooked.

[@davidcooney9731]

Hi Mark. The sharpening of the carbide teeth was very educational. I recommend that you watch this in conjunction with the Andruw's Lumber video of 19Aug24 "Taking the Saw to the Doctor… we still have our fingers" -- 28:51. They call Brett the Saw Doctor for a reason, and this video shows you why. It is truly a masterclass in an almost forgotten craft...

[@markgalicic7788]

I watch Andruw and Brett every Sunday , we hope to take our spare blade to him next summer.

[@johnkoerner1093]

Hi Mark. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and you are doing a great job. I appreciate your approach and your good explanations. I did have a couple of questions that your viewers might want to hear an answer for. What is the advantage in the first turn of the log going back to the knees instead of down on the head block? It seems like the head block would be easier. Also what advantage do you gain by using the taper? You often say that "What you gain on one side, you lose on the other side." So why do it? Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks John , great idea I will talk about that on a video.

[@feedthechunk9836]

Mark why do you only seem to use the Master Dog when the log is round? I don't think I've seen you use it any other time.

[@markgalicic7788]

I don't use it on smaller logs.

[@bwillan]

With a 16' log on the carriage, does your number 3 head block taper give enough lateral movement to make much of a difference to the position of the log? Congrats on video number 600.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , if I use the taper on my #3 block it will move around on the #4 block because the dogs only move out 4".

[@williamellis8993]

I saw three loader arms on that first log. And then there were only two for the next one! I did see Brett tune up Andruw's blade on his channel. As for the outtakes - you HAVE to have fun when you can. Bill

Can you tell a big difference between the carbide bites vs standard......we been debating on trying some just didn't know if it was worth the extra cost

[@markgalicic7788]

they saw about the same as steel bits and you can saw 5 to 7k BF before sharpening , also they will saw for hundreds of thousand feet of lumber before wore out . the down side is cost and they don't like dirt , rocks , nails.

[@BarnCatAlley]

A question, band saw blades require lubrication during cutting. Circle mills use no blade lubrication during cutting. Does it have something to due with blade thickness/cooling? My wife and I started watching during the COVID. Our favorite is watching the grain patterns and always enjoy a clear piece. Thanks for your efforts. T&K

[@CarrotCaptain]

Bandsaws use lubricant to prevent buildup of pitch. While it does help cool the blade that is not really the purpose. I don't know tons about circle mills. I know the blades can be overheated if a piece of trash gets stuck between the outfeed conveyor and the blade.
