Yellow Cedar Barn Shakes

[@mrsseasea]

In my younger days I worked in a shake mill just on the trim saw, as I’m a girl, but I liked it kinda miss that smell.

Mrssea Sea In my experience, women are much better workers in a shake mill, especially packing the bundles. They have better manual dexterity with their hands. 😊

Howdy - in general, Red Cedar and these Yellow Cedar 18" barn shakes are 3/8" thick (9.5mm). They can be split any thickness. Thanks for looking!

[@owentimo]

Balls... They got em.

[@rorybellamy2533]

any hands been lost here?

[@MaryYasyuk]

Hi, Lloyd, can you help me with the actual name of the splitting machine? Thank you in advance.

[@woodroofguy]

+Mary Yasyuk Hi Mary - Thanks for your question! I would call it a "barn shake" machine or a "straight split" machine - or a combination thereof... Hope that helps.

[@MaryYasyuk]

+Lloyd Clefstad, any idea I could purchase the machine online?

[@jamesoxford4260]

what could go wrong?

[@MrArbutusify]

"Yellow cedar" is a common name but the actual name is Cypress. In reality there is no such thing as yellow cedar. For what it's worth. Liked the video though.

I prefer split over sawn

[@angryrednecks9314]

how many fingers has that thing ate?

[@curtekstrom6600]

Just the ones too stupid to do the job right.

[@alabastardmasterson]

Can't believe your hands are still fully entacted

[@MayaParbhoe]

where can i purchase the splitting machine??

[@tinahaynes696]

You can’t really buy one. They’re custom designed and made by “ old school “ mill machinist. Look close. That isn’t off the shelf from Home Depot. That’s a hand made knife splitting those shakes. But it’s cool ain’t it ?

[@amettamail]

Love to see these guys not wearing any hearing protection… “WHAT????” 🙉

[@woodroofguy]

Fair comment! Please note however that they fellow in the video is the mill owner and he was only running the machine for the purposes of this video, which was a few minutes. All of the other workers in the mill wear ear protection, all day, everyday.

You can keep that job.... it's 2019 you think someone could come up with a robot that can do that job that's just way too freaking dangerous

[@jeremiah4248]

It's really safe actually

[@sheldonridley1394]

We don't need anymore robots..we've lost so many great paying jobs to AI and automation. Pretty soon we'll all be homeless. And just for the record..I worked in the Shake n Shingle Industry throughout the late 70's and 80's. Good honest, hardwork..no gym membership needed 💪🌲🍁

[@tolbaszy8067]

Yellow cedar shakes seem more "bat friendly"!

[@Akifastore]

Untuk apa itu?

[@legarleg6215]

Сколько рук осталось осталось без пальцев... никто не считал....

[@scruffmcmuff236]

This seems like a lot of ways to loose a finger!

[@curtekstrom6600]

That's why you need to keep your job as a Walmart Greeter. Your not smart enough to do a Job like this.

[@scruffmcmuff236]

@@curtekstrom6600 woah, easy there boomer. Maybe I'm smart enough to recognise a poorly designed piece of equipment?

[@danielalvares2952]
