Always a trip to the past watching your sawmill. Can’t believe it’s been 52 years since I worked with my dad at a circle mill. Mr. Peabody and the way back machine.

[@markgalicic7788]

glad you like it , great comment Bob.

[@CharlieWall-b7w]

That oak had some beautiful patterns to it; it would have made some gorgeous furniture. I could definitely see that wood as part of a hope chest I want to build.

[@markgalicic7788]

we do sell it.

@@markgalicic7788 I hope to make it down to see your operation after the weather gets nice; all I need is an address. Hopefully, I’ll come home with some nice lumber.

Hi from Western Australia, Joh here. Looking at the licence plate walls, l picked out a few aussie ones, an A.C.T. one, one from South Australia and maybe a few more. The A.C.T. (Australian Capital Territory) one brings back memories, lived there for 20 years. Been in Western Australia now for 5 years. Hubby and l are retired, worked in aged care for more years than we can remember... love your videos, keep them coming.

It's called a King Cake. Whoever gets the baby has to buy or make the next one. My Mother used to ship them all over the Country. She's gone now. The best ones are filled with grape preserves and creme cheese. The box says King Cake for a reason. Great channel. No cussin' or preachin' and best of all no politics. Music is pretty good but keep the volume at a decent level. It's a sawmill, not a bar. lol I want to see y'all at 100,000 subs by the end of 2024. I'll be sharing.

That board that came out of the edger at 24:20 was masterfully lined up. Not a centimeter lost to the saw. ZZ has gotten really good with the edger.

Hi Mark what is the percentage of wood not including firewood that you can recover from a log please.
