Sawing Sunken logs on the Corley Circle Sawmill!

These logs spent a couple months in a pond to preserve them! Looked good as the day they were fell!

[@SawdustStories-ny]

Remarkable! This video gave me a new perspective on sawmilling. Watching those giant logs being handled with such precision is captivating. This video is extremely clear and well-made. I can't wait for your next video. Continue sharing these amazing videos!

Mighty fine sawing, nice set up, I have a homemade band saw I made about 30 years ago and also I know the feeling when a board is produced from the mill. Most lumber I sawed was wet deadheads harvested from from the swamps down south, I love sawing, thanks for sharing the video'

Love those old friction rigs. fadder had on in the 70's in Nfld. Ours was on the side of a pond, all our logs were in the water all the time. We had a winch(run off the motor) to pull em up onto the bed. The great thing about that was there was very little to no dirt on the log, but a wet jod for the guy on the jack ladder and the canter. The longest thing we ever put through he was 28 feet. Hard work for a 12-13 year old helpin out around the mill. I got a chainsaw for my 13th birthday. Long days walkin up an down the jack ladder hauling logs up into the mill, and you had to keep up with the sawyer.

In 1970's people were sawing logs that had sunk to bottom of Lake Superior and other rivers in the 1920's and much earlier. It was large old growth timber. Cold water preserved it well. Beautiful wood. Very, very heavy when brought to surface. l

[@wokokokowibowo]

wow amazing circular saw logging👍

[@raol635]

I think this is one of the jobs that I won't hate doing it. Cutting wood this way outside is better than in the factories with walls collecting dust and people breathing it.

[@SPeeSimon]

Why don't they suck the dust up, collect it and press it into small blocks people can use to burn a fire? You have a whole mountain of dust collected there. And what do you do with it? Reuse and sell? Or nothing and just throw it away?

[@198093hjihf]

​@@SPeeSimon many uses for saw dust, wood shavings, waste wood, etc. MDF panels, finish trim, flooring, and those are just wood products for construction. Farms use wood shavings in the barn stalls. Pressed wood pellets for pellet stoves, and wood pucks for meat smokers. People are really good at turning waste into profit.

[@raol635]

@@SPeeSimon yeah that could be a good idea. I used to work as an electromechanical tech. And I was always afraid to work with wood ''furniture'' companies because of the dust.

Great video . I commend the cameraman . The various shots tell the story . So many sawmill videos are hard on the eyes and miss the important stuff.

[@mostlyinterested1016]

It is cool but I think it's very dangerous to step across the carriage-path while sawing is happening. I'd recommend taking-up the positions from which you want to shoot before the carriage starts traveling.

[@JohnEldridge-jq1vs]

Tyler, we are in NW Louisiana and I’m wondering what you would charge to cut up someone else’s logs versus your logs? I have some storm damage and would like to get some lumber out of them. Someone in my area has a bandsaw mill so I was wanting to know a fair price.

[@jimbenton7191]

There is a loose lag bolt in the carriage frame around the middle axle. That thing might get into the saw if it comes out. Also, the F2 or the second face of the log was the best face (clear). Why did you saw on F3 so long, when it was lower grade? F2 was clear??

[@marvinbeachy1893]

Custom sawing. Probably what the customer wanted, wide boards. Don’t worry about the grade.

I milled 100 year loblolly pine washed from the bottom of creek during flood I let it set in my shop for 1 year milled really nice on my band saw

[@oldtireman4665]

Doesn’t appear there were too many concerns about cutting around the pith. I understand softwoods don’t pose a huge hazard but was under the impression good hardwoods are a whole ‘nother animal.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

I tend to not overthink it. I sawed up until near middle of the log, flip it and send it. For the 1" siding it will not matter one bit. If you were sawing for a more refined purpose, I am sure turning a few times would be more appropriate.

[@TheDrewCharles]

That wide open exposed blade is terrifying. I know it’s effective, but one oopsy trip and fall… anyhow, the sunken log thing is new to me. Usually we like sawing drier logs because then the lumber doesn’t move as much. It’s not as big a shock
