Sawing low grade black oak decking

[@hankbradbury7291]

Thanks, Eddie. It's nice to see the sawmill from another angle. Good to see the IOWA flag.

[@TheEddie1014]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

[@ambertbeauty]

Word for the day is one of my favorite parts of this channel 💯

[@TheEddie1014]

I’m so glad you like that. Thank you

[@chuckmayerchak3071]

I wish more people could learn to compromise today! Compromise makes a marriage work. Some compromise could make our government work again! Great video and great word of the day! Keep them coming!

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you. I agree with you

[@alanm3438]

It is always good to see you and the guys at work. It is sort of like opening a gift every time you cut into a log. The grain is interesting and I bet the smells of the different woods are great.

[@TheEddie1014]

All woods have a distinctive smell. Black oak smells like horse stalls. My favorite is pine. Thank you

[@cjmaslowski1112]

Glad you are back and missed the word of the day and your knowledge 👍👍👍

[@TheEddie1014]

Thanks. Glad I’m back too

[@DavidPadusnak]

Nice video work . I almost always go the middle of the road and it works . Beautiful/Ugly oak !

[@TheEddie1014]

Good words Thank you

[@patricklake4134]

Love to have some of the hardwood scrap you throw away. I would glue it up to make bowls

[@TheEddie1014]

If you are ever in the area let me know I’ll fix you up

[@judithclever1103]

I will watch the head cam ones with my ears and a few looks! Nice looking wood anyway

[@TheEddie1014]

Thanks 👍. Yeah it’s not for everyone

[@lawrencetirrell8414]

Hi Ed. Beautiful black oak! I ❤ the knots in the wood. It has a lot of character. Your fellow U--Tube Helmsburg Sawmill does some 20 inch to 28 inch wide black oak. During thier past videos. Beautiful lumber. Compromise: Both parties can agree on certain things. Some people aren't happy. But. They go along w/ the compromise. Well. You had a nice vacation. Looking great. Thanks Ed. Say Hi to Mark. Have a good Wednesday evening. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TheEddie1014]

Always appreciate your thoughts on things and for always watching

[@lawrencetirrell8414]

@@TheEddie1014 Your welcome Ed. The Mark & Ed team is one of my favorite sawmill vidoes. Have a good Saturday the 13th. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@robertgreen8695]

Nice to see and hear the operation once again with a flash back of you working without ZZ being there. Boy times have changed. Compromise is a necessary thing in the world and can be associated with acquiescence which can be defined as "the reluctant acceptance of something without protest" or with some protest. As it is often said re-evaluate, adapt, and move on.

[@TheEddie1014]

Well said. Thanks Bob

[@remmiemax3624]

Hope you had a good "time-off"! Indeed you can compromise but not compromise your vales😉😉😎😎👍👍✝✝

[@TheEddie1014]

I did enjoy myself. Thank you

[@Lawrence1203-f7s]

Hi Ed. You are a soft soul. Love your words. Once again have you thought of a calander highlighting your words of the day? week? month? I'd buy on for the house and one for my son and daughter. I'd also buy one for my classroom. Maybe the kids would read it while looking at sawmill operations amd/or the lumber yard, forestry operations, etc.. It would also pose an excellent discussion starter. Lord knows we need it. Have a good week.

[@TheEddie1014]

It’s a really good idea Right now I’m not in the position to be able to do that Maybe next year I will be able to. Thank you so much for your idea. I appreciate you

[@karencary3312]

Love your channel. ❤❤

[@TheEddie1014]

So glad! Thank you

[@charleshodge6202]

And the word of the day is....."Good job Eddie!"

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you 😊

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Maybe it is low grade lumber but I've seen the more popular ballroom dance floors that look like this. They are beautiful all polished up. Grandpa danced on those floors like those back in the day with Grandma and all their friends. He could throw insults but fortunately no rocks. We knew when we began overstaying our welcome and it was time to get back to work.

[@TheEddie1014]

It can be used for what you like it’s our low grade oak. Thank you

[@andrewriches506]

Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.

[@TheEddie1014]

Hello Andrew

[@jamesmckay9966]

EDDIE . YOU ARE DOING TRIPLE DUTY. GREAT VIDEO

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you glad you liked it. I appreciate you watching

[@rons.971]

Just a thought, watching Mark on his channel, gives us a view of what happens as the log is sawn. What his channel doesn’t show, is what happens to the board then. I worked in a saw mill so I know the drill. Perhaps you could consider placing the camera in a position to show what you and ZZ et al, are doing from that point on. Maybe that would give viewers a more completed picture of process. Actually much more is happening there in my experience. I very much enjoy your channel and appreciate what you do. Keep it up!

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you for your suggestions I appreciate peoples thoughts

[@robertgreen8695]

The black walnut would make nice contrasting accent panels to white pine on an interior wall if treated properly.

[@TheEddie1014]

Yeah it probably would.

[@garykemp977]

Welcome back, sir.😊

[@TheEddie1014]

Thanks! 😃

[@dalebrabb4756]

Identifying wood by smell is an art only gained by experience. For example Mark describes black locust as having a "peppery" smell, but when I cut some for a picture frame it smelled like creosote to me. A natural "treated" wood, I guess, and I know what treated wood smells like since working with just about every noxious kind they make.

[@TheEddie1014]

It is. Thank you

[@georgewalton-b5s]

great video again well done Eddie

Welcome Back Eddie Kotter. I did a Horvath/Horshack joke the other day on Galicic's channel. Grandma was real mad at me that you didn't mention HER, but only some estranged Grandpa Goomer. She bounced one of her pocket rocks off my 'Grandma-Time' helmet saying, "Compromise this, Buck-O"

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Grandpa says maybe that's her way to get you to mind your manners a little more 😂, I hope you picked up the rock and gave it back to her.??

[@richparks1966]

@@anthonyhengst2908 How is my catching a head rock at speed, going to change Edwardian's manners of not thanking Grandma too? Grandma always gets real mad at me when Grandpa starts spouting-off again, she says, "Next time get that gag tight enough he won't slip it." I can't give the rock back, it's helmet imbedded, Grandma's got an arm too.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@richparks1966 well if that's how it goes, take away the rocks and give the old lady cotton balls and convince her they are rocks... We took the whips away from Grandpa and gave him rubber bands and lived to tell the tale. Now when he gives the evil eye (and yes he will give the evil eye) we pack up our butts and get 'em the heck out of there!!

[@americanrambler4972]

Is that black oak thick enough to be strong enough for a decking surface? I would think it needs to be a minimum of 1 1/2” thick to get the job done. Preferably 2”.

[@TheEddie1014]

The rest of the order will be 2” these thinner boards are for smaller trailers I believe. Thank you

[@marcduclos9789]

Black Oak comes to mind the song Jim dandy to the rescue.

Hello 👋

[@bennymiller680]

We have an oak tree in the south we call a blackjack . Some times you can see sparks fly when you’re sawing with a chainsaw. It’s almost impossible to split with an axe. I was wondering if this is the same black oak.

[@TheEddie1014]

No not the same this is a wide grain oak. Workability is easy. Thank you

[@waynebrearley2288]

welcome back Eddie.

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you

[@donholden7111]

Thanks!

[@TheEddie1014]

Thank you Don. Enjoyed your visit with us. Hope to see you again this year

[@SkenderZyka]

I don't think that's low grade at all Eddie, looks fantastic

[@TheEddie1014]

It’s black oak and we consider black oak low grade. But you are right it didn’t look bad. Thank you

[@alexkirkles5066]

Eleven thirty at night that’s nice grain in that black oak , having supper after a fifteen hour day working on a forward reverse gear box on a mortise machine made about the First World War grease was solid dug it out and a gallon of break cleaner then a hot water washer , find the timing marks and rebuild it trip back to the workshop to make a shear bolt couple of gallons of grease and it was back working , they do have a new one it’s a heap of junk collum isn’t square to the table retracted it’s sixteenth of an inch off and fully extend it’s five sixteenth out of line it’s going away to be remachined , word of the day is compromise I don’t compromise my reputation by doing second class work , anyway have a nice day

[@TheEddie1014]

Sounds like you’re a busy man. Never compromise on quality. Thank you for sharing and for always watching

[@robertgreen8695]

Give your grandparents a big hug for me. Mine are no longer with us.

Sweet!

Thanks 😊

[@georgewilson2185]

Hard to tell with how aged that log is, but I don’t believe that it’s a black oak. Red/Scarlet Oak or a very,very clean Pin Oak perhaps. Black Oak has yellow inner bark and is sometimes called Yellow Oak for that reason.

[@TheEddie1014]

It’s hard to tell but the smell gives it away. Thank you

[@georgewilson2185]

Never noticed a difference between red and black as far as smell goes. Maybe your area is different. I am 100 miles north. I still insist black oak has yellowish inner bark. You could look it up!

no sound from the control tower geat to the saw thats what made a grear video
