Fast Steam Powered Air Set Hardwood Sawmill - Buckeye Steam + Gas Reunion - August 2018

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

A good sawyer one of the best I have seen on KZbin

[@SteamCrane]

Yup! That excellent mill helps!

[@craighunt8682]

Thats the way its done! I've lived it, and seen it my whole life! Im a sawyer, and my Father has been sawing for over 50 years! hes 71 and runs a scrag mill over 40 hours, every week! This is a great sawyer! his saw is running good number one, and he's not "snatching and jerking", This man will work your ass off on the green end, and do it day in, and day out!!!! Without tearing up equipment,,,!!

[@SteamCrane]

They have a couple of sawyers, all about this good. It's a pleasure to watch. The mill was upgraded with air dogs and kickers, and chain turner, by JS Machine, who's farm the mill is located on.

[@craighunt8682]

@@SteamCrane It sure looks like they done a good job on it. I like the looks of that carriage, and that saw lever, up there where it’s supposed to be! I never knew steam engines had that kind of power! (We always ran Detroits). And that man turning those logs by hand… That the way a MAN saws! I’ve watched that video many times! Thanks for posting it!

[@SteamCrane]

@@craighunt8682 I sit and watch them too!

[@brdwonder]

This was once the way work was done. This was the way our grandparents built this country. Kids today need to see this and understand that typing on a keyboard is not really work.

[@whippyboy6272]

Oh hell yeah

[@nephewbob7264]

I like watching those young fellers have to run to keep up.

[@SteamCrane]

He's a really good sawyer on a very fast mill. It helps that he doesn't also have to do the edging, as some small mills do.

[@sammoore9120]

Love hearing that steam engine load up when the saw bites.

[@hawghead4596]

The Amish can teach you more about how to get things done than a textbook will.

[@SteamCrane]

Work steady, work together, no need to rush. A lot gets done, everybody is in a good mood when it's finished.

[@colinmccauley3301]

very few things the Amish attempt ever fail. resourcefulness is a most extraordinary character trait.

[@adjustablehammer3749]

Wow the are many modern saws that couldn't compete with that! awesome saw and definitely a awesome team running it

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Simply fantastic! A really great ensemble. Thanks a lot for saving restoring showing taping editing uploading and sharing.

[@tandemcompound2]

pleasure to watch it work, slam thru the logs and make the Case bark. thanks

[@philliplongley3106]

Great Sawmill. Wish I was there at the show.

[@SteamCrane]

It's much better in person!

Love that power plant , nice mill

[@genegoodman5233]

Yes Nancy. It was dangerous, a lot of people were injured and some were killed. That's the way some things use to be.

[@bfurailroad1104]

A very cool video, I'll be using the audio only to insert into my model train video to simulate the sounds coming from a sawmill as the train goes by. I think it'll be perfect!

[@aaronolson1378]

My favorite thing about this is that they actually have a riving knife installed on this. 😁

[@SteamCrane]

It's even lined up right!

[@canvids1]

What a great set up. you could cut a lot of lumber in a day.

[@crankupthechainsaw]

SteamCrane Sawing machine with giant saw blade

[@davidgibbons5366]

Very nice mill

[@Z-Bart]

When the saw blade is in the cut and we hear 'thunk a thunk a thunk'..is that the steam engine under a load?

[@SteamCrane]

Yes. Most of these engines have a single double acting cylinder. The 2 ends sound almost the same, but piping and other minor differences mean that you can hear the difference in sound.

[@Z-Bart]

@@SteamCrane Thanks.

[@B.Cote39]

This things a monster , wish I could talk to the guy who built it . ! I doubt he's on FB messenger..lol

[@SteamCrane]

He's a neat guy, very knowledgeable.

[@patrikpalmgren7834]

Nice setup and love the sound of the steam engine under load 🙂 Seems like the air supply is not enough for the setworks.

[@SteamCrane]

Interesting, next time I'm out there I'll look. Of course they may have upgraded the air compressor since 2018. Each time we go there, there is some improvement. This fall, they added a green laser for lining up the cut. Not sure that sawyer really needed it.

[@ghilreese3413]

Thanks.

[@beboboymann3823]

Awesome!!

[@deanconner2475]

Nice.

[@clarencetrice4442]

I still remember the sawmill I worked at it was a frick sawmill it changed 2 air dogs the set works wasn't U still had 2 pull the Rachel every time that mill there is a later 1 U can saw some lumber like that in a day's time U have 2 keep the logs on the deck 4 the sawyer saw them fast they don't last like that OMG 12 23 2O22

[@SteamCrane]

Every year, this mill gets improved.

[@paulhatch7759]

That flipper on the moving carriage needs to be slowed down. It almost throws the loggs off. It's a great idea just needs some fine tuning. Nice vid. I have always heard that the Amish don't like being photographed or vidioed.

[@localcrew]

Wonder if they’re Mennonites.

[@SteamCrane]

@@localcrew Amish.

[@SteamCrane]

Different groups vary. Here, I'm shooting the machinery, and there just happen to be people there, and that's OK.

[@RicardoRodriguez-qt4nm]

quisiera tener uesa maquina en mi casa jajajaja nada le pediria mas a la vida

[@lyman360able]

That’s a lot of work to avoid using electricity.

[@timesthree5757]

Yep I would do it to save money, and hard work is good for ya.

[@adjustablehammer3749]

With the rate he's cutting the engine could virtually run of only offcuts far better than buying electricity and wiring it all up in the woods

[@SteamCrane]

Work is sorta the point, it bonds people and builds character.

[@Builder99]

why have hearing protection on his hat and not use it ??? Ok I looked closer and he has the other type in his ears...Good man...

[@SteamCrane]

Needs to hear the saw blade and the crew. That looks like a chain saw helmet.

[@chrisinelpaso]

Where's the steam?

[@SteamCrane]

Shown in separate videos.

[@JohnH0130]

Early on in the video you are shown the coal-fired restored steam tractor that is powering the sawmill from it's power take-off via a wide woven fabric belt.

[@KC9UDX]

Obama banned it.

[@kiri5104]

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️👍👍🤠🇫🇮

[@GFSwinger1693]

They need a bus motor.

[@SteamCrane]

Not allowed, and this is more fun.

[@albertcyphers1532]

Great video. But I don't know why people use a circular saw mill. A band saw mill loses so much less in sawdust waste it should make a circular saw mill obsolete

[@mr.bigfoot8409]

Albert Cyphers, it depends on a couple of things. If you mainly saw one inch, a bandsaw will save you a lot of volume. Now if you saw more squares and pipeline skids and you are really going for production headrigs are the way to go. They can cut much faster unless you are talking big bandsaws which can cut about the same speed. Also, much less blade maintenance on a headrig. It all depends on what you saw.

[@MRALBERT571]

A head saw is more forgiving if you don’t have a debarker and logs are a little dirty also, and the cost to have or convert a mill to bandsaw is a lot of money and the equipment to take care of them, filers, setters, spare blades, etc. adds up. I understand your thought and it is a good one just please understand where I am coming from. Thank You

[@srfurley]

If you’re using a steam powered mill the sawdust isn’t waste, it’s fuel for the process. I remember seeing a couple of steam powered sawmills around the early ‘70s, long after most industry had stopped using steam.

[@SteamCrane]

They have a clever use for the sawdust.

[@paulkramer4176]

as others said, it depends. What was mostly being made were timbers 2x and bigger, so not as much waste. But the speed of a circular saw is much greater than a bandsaw could manage, (of a similar size). And remember, these are the Amish. They had the logs, they didn't want electrical motors. Could have run a bandsaw, but a circular saw is simpler.

[@midbc1midbc199]

Amish like electricity when it suits their fancy.......go to an amish furniture store and they have interact

[@w.rustylane5650]

Are these Amish or Mennonites?

[@SteamCrane]

Amish

[@w.rustylane5650]

@@SteamCrane Yeah, thought so. Probably some of my cousins. My mother was a Mennonite and I have cousins that live in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania.

[@mervjb809]

@Randy Bingham ... What's your problem? Not used to seeing work are you? Get out of your mother's basement and do something productive, instead of spewing your hate all over the internet!!

[@oscargarcia3238]

R the dogs and set work's air or hydraulic?

[@SteamCrane]

Dogs + set works are air, chain turner is hydraulic. Both pumps driven off the spindle shaft.

[@oscargarcia3238]

Thank u it's a very nice setup!
