sawing the last walnut log # 502

[@jamesthompson8133]

I heard a baby boom 💥 GREAT JOB MARK!!!

[@robertgreen8695]

Since you are in the drivers seat you can cut it the way you need to. You have the experience, the knowledge, and the eye for getting the right cut at the right time. The arm chair experts can go scratch. If they don't like it then the should go somewhere else, Good to see the crew together.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Robert , great comment!

​@@markgalicic7788 hi mark.. can you do a video on the blower? I just got one for my sawmill and want to see how to do it.. it's a badger.

[@mcburcke]

Man, those wood boxes are a brilliant idea and perfect solution to the "pile of crap" problem...nice!👍

[@markgalicic7788]

they are working out great for us.

[@ralan350]

Also, makes it easier to load them and for the customer to unload them if they have a big enough tractor with front end loader

[@robertwazniak9495]

@@markgalicic7788when you sell firewood do you have a deposit on the racks or just unload them into the customer’s vehicle or charge more for the firewood because of them.

Walnut sawdust is great for putting on gravel type driveways to slow down vegetation growth on them!

If you mix your walnut sawdust with hydraulic oil , it makes an excellent floor sweeping compound for concrete floors. We used it in the Air Force and it would make a hanger floor shine like glass. It was also reusable!

With regards to making pellets for stoves, I had a PTO-driven mill that I fed all my sawdust through. Yes, it was a faff at times but it was only for my own use. If you are making plenty of money from the core activity, just stick with what works for you. Merry Christmas, and I'm looking forward to seeing the biggie being milled on the 25th.

It was the boarding in of Eddys end up top that cut the glare of the sun so we can see Mr. Laser now. I noticed it on the very first video that you put out.

[@markgalicic7788]

I think that did help.

[@Buddha-of8fk]

It depends on what you are cutting. Pine 2x4's is different than veneer wood.

[@dagwood1327]

I have been building wood pallet boxes for 3 years now. I can’t afford icb totes cages. I use crooked boards and sapwood cuts for it.

I like these wooden boxes and we use low grade pine to build them.

[@feedthechunk9836]

I know you've said this before but that greenish color of the Walnut throws me for a loop. So used to seeing the chocolate brown.

[@Sparky6547]

If you only air dry the lumber what do you do about any bugs that can be bored into it? Air died doesn't kill them but a kiln does, correct?

[@markgalicic7788]

yes that's true.

[@McCauley1974]

What are you using to keep your lumber covered?

[@peteroliver3408]

Looks cold... it will be 58 here on Christmas eve, but past Monday tied a record at 80 F. Sawing style really depends on the application and end use. Problem here is things dry out too fast, April- june is typically 5 percent humidity and 90-115 degrees, July - sept is monsoon season with 100+ F and 25percent or higher humidity, oct-nov is dry, it does get cold last 1-2 weeks of december to 1st -2nd week of January but, mid - late january does get warm enough to break dormancy to get hit with a frost the 1st week of febuary. winter rainy season Dec-Feb is hit and miss...

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it was cold the past few days here it's going up to 50 on Christmas day.

[@blnfuse]

couldn't you get a dumpster style box to catch the walnut sawdust ? that you could put in place and remove as not contaminate the other dust ?

[@markgalicic7788]

yes we could but we don't saw much walnut.

[@miker648]

I'm curious if there are any benefits to quarter saw walnut?

[@markgalicic7788]

not walnut.

[@oldtireman4665]

Does any other species of tree have so much sap wood? Any idea why walnut has so much? A nice looking log and you have to cut a quarter of it off before you can get anywhere!

[@RebuildingScotland]

Probably giant sequoia, the sapwood on that timber is insanely thick.

[@mcburcke]

I know the darker wood pretty quickly turns the chocolate brown color, but does the white sapwood stay white or change any?

[@markgalicic7788]

the sapwood will get darker over time.

[@mcburcke]

@@markgalicic7788 Thanks...didn't know that, I've never worked with it.

I wonder what's in walnut wood fibers that makes it so toxic/unusable?

[@markgalicic7788]

not sure why.

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Do you sell most of what you cut or use it yourself?

[@markgalicic7788]

yes we do and I keep some of the nicest boards for my shop.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Sir. 👍👌👏 Nice sawing again and as always. 2) If you don't want to produce pellets or briquettes please just say it! Because it's simply not true = you definitely don't need to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to make pellets or briquettes from sawdust. You can even make a machine/device DIY because you have enough knowledge to build such a compressing machine. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom. I wish you all a great Christmas time.

[@Ed_in_Md]

Don’t be so nasty. You do what you want with your sawdust and don’t try to tell Mark what to do with his.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @@Ed_in_Md What are you talking about??? I guess that you simply need to read my comment again. And this time please do it in an objective way and not subjective. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

[@davidhensley76]

Would it be worthwhile to park a trailer in the sawdust house to catch the walnut

[@markgalicic7788]

Yes if we sawed a few thousand feet but it don't take long to clean it out.

Thank you for the content. Here's my 🙋 question; @ 7:44 you mention 'indicator lites', what did you mean?

[@richgodschalk1695]

I would say he meant that he did not want to add indicator lights to the taper or any other parts of the mill. Probably a couple reasons not to in my head, the time and expense it would take to do something that's not really necessary and a bunch of annoying lights in the cab, etc.

[@markgalicic7788]

that's about the tapers , someone said I should have a light come on when I use a taper.

[@twilamoore8879]

obviously I know zero about sawing lumber, but I was sitting here thinking if a bracket was made to hold logs cut to shorter lenghts and stood on end side by side and sawn that way would there be a market? I know nutty question.

[@markgalicic7788]

that would be very dangerous but bowl turners would love it.

[@alexkirkles5066]

thanks Alex , Merry Christmas!

[@robertwazniak9495]

Do any of you guys have any allergies to any of the woods you normally saw? I discovered that I have an allergy to cedar dust so I need to wear a mask while sawing it and walnut can be toxic/rash with just contact.

[@markgalicic7788]

no I don't but fine dust while sanding can be very bad.

[@Missourioutdoors1]

Is that a Walmart upon the hill above you?

[@markgalicic7788]

[@dvdosterloh]

walnut is even poison for cattle bedding especially for horses, makes them lame. It's only good for mulch or fire logs
