Great excitement in the community, gather round, a big log is coming. Respect

I came here expecting to see a video about amazing wood being salvaged from a bog. What i saw instead was a slice of life video about hardworking sawmillers, if thats a word, getting the best out of a log and each other. Very low key and unassuming people, all. Up in Canada we know a thing or two about milling wood, carving, building and all that, but i was touched to see the camaraderie shared by these good ole boys to the south, pretty much matches our own. Very nice video, and thanks for sharing your slice of life, and logs, and family and dogs too. Cheers.

Awesome! What a find! This is a life I wish I could live.

In the early 1980s my friend removed an early 1940s portable saw mill from a bog on a landowners property. My friend said it had been preserved by the peat, and after he removed it, he restored it. Eventually he used the portable sawmill, to cut logs on his property into railroad ties, that sold to the RR company The saw blade was at least 4 foot in diameter, and the saw was belt driven.

that was cool as ever to not just see the superlong log setup , but to actually see it in action. so far, longest we done (chainsaw mill) is 14 foot long at 31 inches wide 8 quarter deep , thank goodness was pine. thank you for bringing us along, and the sawyer for hospitality to let you.🙂

Thank you , this video brings me back to a time when my grandfather would invite us down to watch him cut boards on his saw rig. That blade was huge to a little kid . Being around family on the weekends was always special. This helps warm the soul. Blessings

I have a friend that’s a logger and logging practices now (at least in the US) are very sustainable! They cut only the trees good for timber and the ones that are sick or dying and then all the smaller ones are left and some too large for good logs and the forest never is bare and fills back in quickly! the smaller trees are given room to grow and the extra sun lets new ones sprout and the few big ones spread lots of seeds
