Great video guys and great looking wood out of that ugly log. The old Jimmy was clearing her throat pretty good on the hardwood. It brings back memories of watching my dad haul logs out of the woods back in the 70's. I spent some time in the jump seat when I was a kid and the Detroit diesels were all around me in the woods. Kids are spoiled today and watching a man work would never be tolerated without offering to pitch in. Good job Eddie tossing those boards around. They wonder where old man strength comes from? You just saw it.

Hi there,i'm an eighty year oldie living in the eastern region of southern Norway and it's a pleasure to watch yo two operating your sawmill! I think i've watched just about all of your wideos, and with interest! Thank you! Greetings from Norway to The Eddy Horwath and you Mark !

Mark... I missed this one. My favorites are the long, huge, ugly logs. I describe them as: can-he-mill-that-log? I've got a huge computer monitor. When any of the family walks by while I'm watching those favorites... they're captured till it's finished. Oh, I forgot the crooked trees. It seems impossible that you could get straight boards out-of-those, but you do, every time. Don't pass up any big, crooked, ugly trees.

You have a vertical green laser to show the saw position relative to the log in the longitudinal axis .... so why don't you (or can you) add another laser to project in the horizontal axis - above the log feed bed - that will show the actual height of the saw cut on the log - that way you will always know if the blade is going to make the cut all the way through the log.

I had to look it up. The term “pin oak” is especially given to Quercus palustris, found on bottomlands and moist upland soils in the eastern and central United States. Usually about 25 metres (80 feet) tall but occasionally reaching 35 metres (115 feet), the tree has a broad pyramidal crown and drooping lower branches.
