Cedar Log Being Milled on a Foley-Belsaw A-14 Circular Sawmill 2
The Foley-Belsaw A-14 sawmill is finally running well. The blade is a 48" inserted tooth blade we got at an auction. This mill originally came with only two headblocks, but a third was added from a parts carriage. The heavier dogs were also custom made to replace the original ones.
The tractor is an early 50's Oliver 88.

My wife back in the 70's worked for Foley-Belsaw and she loved watching your video and so did I! Thanks for your video!!
Very cool!! That old boy looks like he could throw some lumber around!! I love Cedar!!
Excellent setup mister and great job! Thank you very much for a window into how its done. Thumbs way up for the upload! It was common to see similar setups like this when i was a youngster. Most folks ran a belt off the rear end of a truck with no bed on it, some with tractors pto as in this video some with committed diesel engines and water wheels. This is how we built our house and anything else including bridges. No Lowes or Home Depot hehe

Gerald-My uncle in Missouri used to have a modified steel wheel he would put on his pickup to run the belt from the right rear position. He didn't want to tie up his Massey-Ferguson just to run the mill.
Looks like a simple to use system, great video. Thank you
Beautiful color. I can only imagine the smell! Wow!
What a Beautiful Log. Such rich red color and as someone has said it must smell wonderful.
I love the smell of fresh cut cedar, this must of been like heaven,
Beautiful and a pleasant fragrance!!
The color of the cedar, is beautiful!
That is an awesome sawmill. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Great setup. Love it. The only problem I have is safety of the PTO. A good friend of me was caught by an unprotected PTO and died. His brother found him wrapped around the axle hours later when he didn't show up for dinner. The tractor was still running. It's

Tim Green I just found your comment today, and even though I was the one who shot the video, I never noticed him do that. I was always focused on the lumber pile at the end. You're correct though, stepping over the spinning shaft is inexcusable, even if it's not actively powered. I'm surprised he did it. Having grown up on a farm, he has more than one PTO story to tell. As I say, safety is a personal choice. That was his choice, and I'm thankful nothing came of it.
Remind me not to piss off this feller running the saw! Great video thanks!
Awesome machine and beautiful wood.

my dad has a foley belsaw he purchased in the early 1960's, Looks like this one, still works well , current power ( since late 80's ) source is his 1956 ford flatbed truck. he still runs it when someone needs lumber, not so often anymore as he is in his early 90's and only has 1 arm, I think last year was his last but we'll see
look at that smirk he loves what he does
Can almost smell that cedar from here. Wish I could have been standin there

That's some pretty looking cedar, dang nice job.
Reminds me of working with my Grandfather many years ago when he ran the saw mill with a big old steam tractor and I had to keep the fire going and the steam up to pressure. That was many years ago and he has been gone quite some time. Sure does bring back memories.
I bet it smelled wonderful while milling it!
Some great looking boards there
That huge 48 inch blade is all business!
That is really neat !!! Love it !! GD Tractor

Scott Campbell Thanks! The pile of lumber at the end is satisfying as well. At full throttle, the PTO is at 540 rpm, and we were running just below that. The blade arbor runs directly to the PTO, so that would be the rpm of the blade also.
So beautiful,, is amazing experience,,, love it.

I ve just realised - it runs of PTO
I just installed some live edge cedar cantilever shelves alongside my fireplace. At a quick glance they look like bacon :)
What a cool setup, Im guessing the saw blade is going faster than it looks in the video? Cheers Blaisey

They're out there, but I wouldn't say that they're common. This one was from an old farm. Much of it was buried in the dirt, and the blade was unusable. Luckily, we found another blade at a farm auction. After some work on the rest of the mill, we got it running. It really was a lot of fun though.

Once you cut a cedar tree how long does it have to lay before it can be milled
@21mph12

On average, about a year per inch of thickness.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question in my first response. The log can be run through the sawmill at any time. We like to do it sooner rather than later though. After it's milled into boards, that's when it needs a year per inch when air drying.

I don't really know. This is just a hobby for us, but I'd suppose there is someone who'd be able to answer that. A brief internet search gave me answers all over the map. Best I could tell is that this log would be about $100-$150. Most everyone has a band saw mill nowadays, so the yield will be a couple of boards better than what we get. That's not a great answer, but it's the best I can do.
Im in need of that red Cedar can anyone help me out??
Muito bom..
Is this a Kentucky Red Ceder that has such aromatic pleasant smelling wood, it sure looks nice even unfinished. Do you sharpen your own saw.?

Yes, it's red cedar, but it's in Missouri. Seems that there are a lot of states that like to put their name in front of "red cedar", including us. We do sharpen and swage our own saws with a file and a swaging tool. Not too hard with a little bit of practice. Thanks!
