In this video you will see us taking old power poles that were taken out for various reasons, and sawing them into posts for a new barn! Giving them a new life as another structure! #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #polebarn

    Brought back great memories of working at a sawmill when I was 18 and 19(59 now). Loved it!!! Good, hard, honest work!!! The water coming out of the cypress logs on me as we mill cut them felt good in that July Florida sun!!!! Cut pine and built pallets too. Very satisfying work!!!🙂❤

    I never really gave much thought about milling these up. But after seeing this is definitely have changed my mind. Electric company went through our area last ya replacing poles all over the place. Most farmers around here have left them laying where they are , a few use them for corner post when fencing. Im gonna be laying my hands on as many as I can get now. Thanks for the video an idea

    A few years back, I had a Corley 54" saw, powered by a 671 Detroit. It was a great cant mill, way faster than any band mill I've seen. They can be a little more dangerous. If you ever have a log shift at the end of the cut and ride up on your splitter on the return, it'll chuck it right over your head when it hits the blade!

    I often wonder while you are sawing away on a big log, tree, or pole with either the band saw or the circular, did ya ever hit a hidden large nail, spike, cannon ball or other foreign object? Does it trash the blade? I have seen trees with all kinds of stuff in them. I was cutting some firewood from a felled oak at my parents house, and in the middle was a slab of steel 3" wide by 7 or 8" long. After some investigation it turned out to be a section of a car leaf spring driven into the standing tree during a collision. The exposed outside portion rusted away and the tree just grew around it. I later found out that crash took place before I was born and the driver was a local kid who became an English teacher in my high school. **LATE EDIT** I watched your sawing 1x6 out of a 38" log video and it answered my question. Yes and yes. Must suck if it happens with the circular saw.....

    power poles are quite dirty and full of creosote. I hope you cleaned and power washed them good.

  • @dannysulyma6273

    I've cut a bunch of them, mainly creosote red cedar poles, and they vary greatly from beautiful tight grain old growth to useless, stress fractured (being a pole can be hard work) wood. Disposal of the waste is the downside.

    New sub here. Love your channel! I wonder if there would be room on the back side of the carriage to mount a box or rack to store your wedges, instead of having to step away from the controls/carriage to grab them? Just a thought...
