sawing a 32 inch pine log into 2x4's # 467

where's the machine that twists the 2x4s for Lowes or Home Depots?

Am I the only one who knows nothing about logging or lumber who still finds this interesting and fascinating AF? 🤔

Mark you truly are a master Sawyer with your mill. I've watched you and others for quite a while and you're the best. I always admire the relationship and communication you and Eddie have. God bless you guys.

Great video Mark, turning a big fugly log into usual lumber, thanks for sharing

I quit school and took a job at a lumber mill, being not a large guy I failed the green chain and was put in the planer and molding mills, best decision of my life I was able to buy a fancy car etc at only 18 years old, of course school is good but a guy working hard is also good i have great respect for the people who saw the wood we all use, its hard work no matter what department you work in.

I've said it before, Mark. But your thorough experience really shows up big time when you saw a large log like this. Cut by cut, you make the best decisions on the best way to process the logs. You get the most out of them, with little waste. Good job!

You made that look way to easy. Wouldn't it be nice if every log went that smooth? Nice sawing Mark.

My great granddaddy ran a sawmill in my home town of Sharon, Tennessee. It was gone before I was born in 1952. I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up! God bless!

Mark L'm glad I built a custom band mill that I can saw a 36 inch log by 21.5 feet + long! Some times I thought I wish I had made it for 48 inch; until I think about turning that size log at 74 years old and 130 pounds! Of course I did get a 4500 hundred winch and made it so it mounts on mill to turn bigger stuff! Have fun and keep making sawdust!

Smooth operation, but I saw a lot of nice beams turned into 2x4's. Guess that was wat the customer wanted. 🌲🌲🌲🌲

Thanks for bringing me along.. Love these videos.

Those big logs are a lot easier to cut and turn on y'all's mill than it is on my mill for sure. Enjoyed the video guys!

Great job cutting them logs, and great job showing and telling. Keep up the good work cutting,love to see that wood getting cut in to lumber. Thanks for showing the great video,have a great day see y’all next time see ya bye.

I grew up working at my father's sawmill in early 60's until 1970 when he got a town job. We lived in West Central Indiana in Parke County Indiana. The county still has 31 covered bridges. The sawmill was a four head block Sinker Davis Sawmill made in Indianapolis. With some maneuvering, it was possible to saw a 26' log. It was amazing to see the amount of automation at this mill, especially the log turner and automatic log dogs. My first job at the mill was skidding logs and positioning them on the mill skids. I used a big Massey Harris tractor with a front loader. I also used a small Oliver dozer. The little dozer could push a lot more than it could pull. The mill also had an edger where we could length wise trim slabs and bigger pieces into different board widths.

Hi there, Buzzsaw! Thanks for making an appearance! It was good to see you.

I’m home with Covid and have had your videos playing on my television since 5 this morning. Watch them everyday of life. Need to make a trip and check everything out

A very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.

Wow!! That's log I can watch all weekend. That will definitely get the bus motor all warmed up. Also, those items you were showing in the beginning all looked like craftsman workmanship. Very nice.

Amazing how many experts there are in the field of sawmilling !

That was some fancy whittling on that big log Mark. Thanks for sharing. Hope the eye is healing.
