sawing a 32 inch white pine # 203

A nice friday eve video for you, we had a 32" old piece of white pine that needed sawed so here it is! hope you enjoy!

[@brianhenson2395]

When I was 14 I worked in a sawmill very much like this one; a two man operation. I was paid $1 an hour after school to clean up after the days cutting was done. I'd clean out under the saw and then haul the bark in an old dump truck and dump it into a gully at the back of the property. I loved it. I managed to buy some groceries every week and still save enough to buy my first guitar. I'm 75 and I can smell the fresh pine as clear as if it was yesterday. Thank you for posting this video.

Good job Mark. I've watched all your video's and this is the first I ever commented. I'll date myself, I learned to saw when I was a kid on an old Frick Double-Aught Hand Set. I'm an old man now. I still cut big timber, and saw lumber for my own farm use. Forty years ago, I had twenty men working in the woods cutting timber for me. It is great to see so many people interested in your video's. Keep up the good work!

I enjoy seeing you starting with a large log, explaining what you are doing and working slowly and carefully making it smaller and more manageable while always making sure everyone is safe. I have lots of respect for you and how you make your videos. I'm glad I found you and not someone else. 😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏

I enjoyed that big old ugly. You did the best you could with it. Not much useful but, maybe with judicious edging and some cutting off ends where the cracks are, maybe something useful might have emerged. That's part of the fun of watching these. You NEVER know what's going to come into view with the next cut. Sap pockets, anyone???

[@peterwilliams4795]

I've been watching some of your earlier posts and the changes you have made to the mill are magnificent I have often wondered how you recruited ZZ Mark, Buzz Saw Buzzy, plus others did they buy timber from you initially or what,If you cant say thats ok but the extra hands make life easier for Eddie

[@snakebait5118]

Mark, I don't understand why it's so interesting to watch a sawmill at work but your videos have caught my attention and as a woodworker, I wouldn't mind saying I'd love to do volunteer work there even to shovel sawdust. Unfortunately, I live in the coastal area of NC. I'm originally from Erie but the Marine Corps transplanted me here 30 years ago and we stayed mostly to get away from the snow.....but we now live in "HURRICANE ALLEY" LOL! Maybe not so much LOL! Keep the great videos coming, I really appreciate them!

[@claytonsibley8179]

Please explain to me why sawmills let logs lay around until they are nearly half of them are rotten???

[@garymontesano5903]

With such a large check running through the heart, I wonder if it would have made sense to start there, first cutting through it on one side, then turning the log to do the other. With two halves, you might have had better options to avoid serious checking and access a better grade of wood. Once the log is open like that, the view from the inside is invaluable.

[@1herbert100]

It was a good move putting that chop saw at the end of the line but it slows down production overall. You need a third guy to make it work, it's too much for just Eddie alone. Still a nice video.

[@bwillan]

They sometimes have a 3rd guy running the swing saw for the regular Monday video. With just Eddie, sometimes you have slow production a little bit to cut up the slabs to keep things clean and organized around the mill.

Cannot see the point of attempting oversize logs at your mill as up to now the revolving cuts your making to get down to .where you can make boards are going straight down to the bottom firewood saw get a bigger blade or leave it to a bandsaw who has the capability to make use of it 🤔

We got a new Case dozer fitted with a 4-71 Detroit. Years later I built a trucking company up and my first diesel was a cab over GMC with a 6-71 in it.
