Log to Lumber - How American Lumber is Made

It must be unreal sitting next to a river and watch a unending stream of logs float by

A big supporter of the Timber industry. Had 12 year's in a Plywood plant in Montana. But damn what a tough way to make a living. And honestly doesn't pay that well. Im a janitor now working at a local university. The particle board plant in my hometown start workers out only about $2 an hour more than Im making. Developed carpal tunnel and rotary cuff issues from the mill also.

Clear and precise, subscribed.

Parabéns ótimo vídeo sobre manejo florestal!

Informative video

Intresting

It is kind of fun to see how things were done 50 years ago in the lumber industry. Do you have any video of modern equipment and methods?

I have been saying for many years that the entire global energy supply can be gotten from wood. The world's forests are 4 times the size of the United States, including Alaska. If you only used one of those forests, and harvested it in sustainable ways, the world could use wood as its primary energy source while only harvesting 1% of the trees. Wood is just like coal. It has been used for thousands of years as a heating element for both residential and commercial purposes. Not only can wood be burned directly in power plants, industrial applications and for home heating (chips or pellets), but it can be used to produce methanol fuel (alcohol fuel). This is done by putting wood (like sawdust or chips) in water, boiling the water and then drawing off the liquid, which has absorbed chemicals from the wood (just like making whiskey from corn). The leftover wood then can be dried and burned as fuel. Methanol can be used as heating fuel or to power automobiles.

6:15 American lumber is produced quite well 😍

Amazeng❤🥰🙏👍

pohonya besar besar ya boss

Hello sir, I am a craftsman in the field of tree cutting and automatic saw maintenance. I am looking for work. Can I find work with your team? I am from Morocco.

Where is the replanting in the process?

That looks like a good job but a bit dangerous I think

What kind of horsepower are in your trucks?

I always though lumber was grown as trees, apparently in America it's made Amazing!!

Don't believe 70% was wasted, I believe you inverted your statistic...only 30% was wasted!

Is that a computerised commentary?

Skidders not skitters.

they cut trees too good DO they plant trees too ?
