I really don't think Eddie needs to be babysitted bye you mark ! He's a grown man Wether you think he is or not ! Like Eddie said , respect is a word that everyone should have in their vocabulary !

[@travelenman60]

Go away

[@BigC-e5z]

Mark and Eddie have been sawing for more than 30 years. The communication while sawing in between them is impeccable. Sometimes you stoops don't know when to shut up with your comments. SHUT UP!

[@johnking8679]

Now then lads !! Be NICE !!

[@johnking8679]

Mark, I have a question ⁉️ You made a comment about the pile of sawdust being "hot". Is there any chance that the temperature of the sawdust could cause it to catch fire....?? Self combustion ?

[@BigC-e5z]

@@johnking8679 Yes, a pile of sawdust is like a pile of compost. It gradually breaks down and builds up heat. It can catch fire, But I don't think is a too big of worry.

Hi guys just settin here waiting for the Hospice nurse to show up and watching your video, you mentioned one of your viewers was celebrating his 43 anniversary, congratulations to him. I am 86 and on the 13 my wife and I will have been married 44 years, I hope she makes the 13 as she is in the final stage of Parkinson’s and not doing well. Thanks for the entertainment!

Hi Mark and Eddie, I’ve been watching Helmsburg Sawmill lately as well as yourselves. What a difference! He runs 4 saws in unison and churns out boards in one run of the carriage. It all seems a bit hectic but I admit I prefer your laid back approach. He uses RED lasers which are easier to see than your green one. Keep on sawing. Biker John from UK.

You should build a port for the dumpster bin and blow the sawdust straight into it. That would save all the bucket work.

Hi Mark. Ed, & ZZ. Beautiful lumber. Looks too good for stalls. Ed is right. Red oak. Helmburg's black oak is golden wood w/ black grains. Both are equally beautiful. I saw most of our eclipse before 4pm. Then " moon" moved quickly away. People traveled to Niagara Falls & they were cloudy. We were cloudy about 4:30pm.

Hey Mark. Great sawing video! That “ugly” black oak log did not turn out to be so ugly after all! That log was quite a surprise and yielded some absolutely beautiful oak lumber. You mentioned that a good share of the black oak boards will be used for horse stall material but will you sort any of the grade boards out of that bundle of black oak? I hope you set aside some of those clear wide boards and but them on stickers.Thanks very much for another visit to the sawdust bin and the loading of the dumpster box.

Does black oak smell like dog crap when you saw it, or am I confusing it with another wood? Here in north Alabama we have red and white oak, no black on our land

[@erikleorga]

[@mybirds2525]

You need a Red Laser that sits level with the top of your saw!

[@markgalicic7788]

[@curtthormann6896]

The mill I worked at has three tein band saws and a skngle band head rig. The sawdust went to several horse farms for bedding and the left over was burned in the drying kilns to dry the lumber. Those band saws produced around 5 to 7 tractor trsiler loads a day , once the gang edger was added.

that's alot of sawdust.

Why no walnut sawdust

[@RebuildingScotland]

If used for animal bedding, would make the animals ill, especially horses.

I have recently been watching another sawmill, Hermannsburg I think,they have side saws topsaws, and other contraptions its real interesting to see what they do

[@americanrambler4972]

Questions: 1) why do you not mix walnut sawdust in the bin? 2) what do you do with walnut sawdust? 3) why is band mil sawdust not sale-able? This was an enjoyable video to watch. Lots of good wood out of that fat log.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , walnut is bad for horses , walnut sawdust is good weed killer , band mills make very fine sawdust that farmers don't want.

[@ransompenny7319]

Them big logs are a bear on a manual mill to turn. I am doing some sawing on a manual band mill now and I think of how nice it would be to have a edger like yours. If I didn't have a tractor with loader/forks, I wouldn't even start at sawing with any type of mill.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it's hard to do on a manual mill for sure.

[@Midcon77]

Love all the sawing action! In this episode you mentioned you don't blow walnut sawdust into the pile - I'm curious why that is? Are there similar things you look out for with respect to specific tree types?
