LegoMaster 101 Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care

I worked in the Ione mill from '89 until it shut down in '95. I never got the opportunity to tour the Colville plant. Thanx for the very well done drone production. Very classy. The automation of this plant (especially versus the Ione mill) leaves many in awe.

Just Wow! This is a very well done video of the process. I also must say that the working conditions look a ton safer and cleaner than the mills we had here in Florida back in the 70's and 80's that I worked at.

That was honestly, unbelievable. Nice drone work, as well.

As someone who grew up in the lumber and logging industries and worked in nearly every aspect of the forest industries, I deeply appreciate the ingenuity, design and implementation of the Vaagen Brothers mill. Congratulations to you for a world class mill and world class presentation of it.

@@CowboyCarCrushing I have not gone back to see the video again, but I think I know what you're talking about. What those are there fore is to apply downward pressure on the lift of logs as the grapple closes. this makes for a tight load as they move the logs to the deck and helps straighten out any logs that get crossed up. Let me know if you think this answers the question for you. If not, give me a time into the video so I can cruise over to see it again.

@@EnGammalAmazon Thank you so much. I thought being a year out it was a shot in the dark. Super Awesome you replying. I like heavy equipment and have limited exposure. But i will ask and keep learning. Thank you 👍. The conveyor system is just freaking awesome. The way it kicks out a log. How much weight is that? Anyway, I'm a small loader operator and moving any weight around is a challenge. I like the big Iron and cables and machine and a person can get in tune with it all. It's pure dominance of us (human beings) finding a way to do things the best we can. So the chains keep the top logs from being loose?

@@CowboyCarCrushing Yes, I believe it is. If you think this mill is interesting, you should see some of the mills in Sweden. I used to work at a job that required that I visit all the mills in northern Europe once a month to check on their lumber grading of anything that was being shipped to the US. One of my mills was the largest sawmill in Sweden and on the adjacent site was the fifth largest pulp mill in the world. To meet the people the run operations like these is pretty amazing. We could learn a lot from the Nordics on just about any topic you choose. They have really figured out how to make a society work. The Swedes are incredibly active in creating new products in just about any industry. I am of Swedish and German ancestry and love being over there. Just being there I have come to realize why I think and act the way I do. I enjoyed it so much that I just bought a small farm over there and I'm moving over this coming year. There is a lot of what I love to do in just the area where I'll be living. Probably the biggest draw for me are the amazingly interesting and generous people I've come to know there. I encourage Americans to get out of the country at least once or twice in their lives for several weeks at a time and simply take a road trip. Stop when you see something interesting and ask questions. you will be amazed.

What an amazing operation. It's hard to believe they can get any lumber at all out of some of those sticks. Which, I guess, is a real testament to the HewSaw's abilities.

Very interesting. Something I never put too much thought into. But yet another incredible operation in the manufacturing industry, that so many people do not understand or appreciate the ever expanding technology that is being used these days. Long gone are the days of heavy manual labor of moving those logs by hand. To me it's just mind boggling to see the machines in use these days in the factories. And then to think of how EACH machine in these factories was made in yet another factory. Technology is a never-ending, amazing thing.

this was a theater of operational excellence. The skill and workmanship that went into the design and detail of the operation shows passion. Well done rob from aus

As a craftsman who uses hand tools to hew and prepare timber. The speed that these logs are processed is staggering. Very impressive to see as I had no idea the vast amount of machines used to sort and shape the timber. Not as satisfying as working by hand tho IMO

from new Zealand where every port is full of export logs waiting for ships this is amazing. sawn timber is so expensive here.

wow was awesome, the machines were amazing
