I know you like to see big logs sawn into a stop sign to get it down to size so here's a big one for you! hope you enjoy! We have a online store at markgalicicchannel.com/
where's the machine that twists the 2x4s for Lowes or Home Depots?
Brilliant!

Lol, in seriousness, when a broad is cut it might bow due to resistance. When I started working in the mill I thought the lumber dried enough to bow. Then I moved up in the mill, after the out feed of a saw. I'd see broads get cut off a square cant/ block come out the other end ready to be the bowel of a ship.

Am I the only one who knows nothing about logging or lumber who still finds this interesting and fascinating AF? 🤔
You guys are living ✨️ the life! God bless you! ❤😊
Mark you truly are a master Sawyer with your mill. I've watched you and others for quite a while and you're the best. I always admire the relationship and communication you and Eddie have. God bless you guys.
thanks Charles.
I am from west Virginia. Love hearing the booms from the turning of the big logs.
Great video Mark, turning a big fugly log into usual lumber, thanks for sharing
thanks Stephen.
I quit school and took a job at a lumber mill, being not a large guy I failed the green chain and was put in the planer and molding mills, best decision of my life I was able to buy a fancy car etc at only 18 years old, of course school is good but a guy working hard is also good i have great respect for the people who saw the wood we all use, its hard work no matter what department you work in.
Thanks for the video mark,nice size log good job whittling it down. Good to see ZZ back with no restraints on 😅
Sorry mark I thought I was watching a new video.thanks anyway still enjoyed it
I've said it before, Mark. But your thorough experience really shows up big time when you saw a large log like this. Cut by cut, you make the best decisions on the best way to process the logs. You get the most out of them, with little waste. Good job!
You made that look way to easy. Wouldn't it be nice if every log went that smooth? Nice sawing Mark.
thanks Jeff , it did go smooth for it's size.
My great granddaddy ran a sawmill in my home town of Sharon, Tennessee. It was gone before I was born in 1952. I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up! God bless!
Great job cutting them logs, and great job showing and telling. Keep up the good work cutting,love to see that wood getting cut in to lumber. Thanks for showing the great video,have a great day see y’all next time see ya bye.
I grew up working at my father's sawmill in early 60's until 1970 when he got a town job. We lived in West Central Indiana in Parke County Indiana. The county still has 31 covered bridges. The sawmill was a four head block Sinker Davis Sawmill made in Indianapolis. With some maneuvering, it was possible to saw a 26' log. It was amazing to see the amount of automation at this mill, especially the log turner and automatic log dogs. My first job at the mill was skidding logs and positioning them on the mill skids. I used a big Massey Harris tractor with a front loader. I also used a small Oliver dozer. The little dozer could push a lot more than it could pull. The mill also had an edger where we could length wise trim slabs and bigger pieces into different board widths.
I used to watch my local sawmmill as a child around 1968. They ground off the bark first, and then just tore it up with the saw. Your method takes a lot more prep !
Wow!!! That's a big log. You guys are amazing!
Smooth operation, but I saw a lot of nice beams turned into 2x4's. Guess that was wat the customer wanted. 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Can you imagine those boards dried then put on a interior wall with a stain. The knots and the saw kerfs showing! Beautiful.
Love to watch this mill running. I also love the saw marks on a board. Band saw doesn't leave that circular mark. When I make anything, I make sure that I don't sand or plane them off. Looks older that way. Any old lumber almost always have these marks on them. Just a fun time watching this mill.
Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see the process with a wheel instead of a band.
Loved the video. The large logs that create a challenge are awesome. Thanks.
This video show that you are an artist.. definitely one of my favorites so far.. great watching you at the helm.
Thanks for bringing me along.. Love these videos.
That big beam cuts just like a stick of butter. 👍
Hi there, Buzzsaw! Thanks for making an appearance! It was good to see you.
I always wondered. Thank you for my beautiful deck and all the trips to home depot, with the lumber pushing through my CUV window on the highway. Good times
fun to watch! i'm 60 now but back in the 70's and early 80's i worked at a saw mill in minnesota. looks like some really nice machinery you have!!!!
Just awesome Mark.
very very nice job! you know this mill better every time i watch
That was a beautiful pine log.
I am 65 years old now, but when I was 17, I worked at a sawmill for the summer, it was hard work for sure. It was interesting to watch your video and remember things. I would have liked a quick view of the lumber that came out of the mill in this video though.
Mark L'm glad I built a custom band mill that I can saw a 36 inch log by 21.5 feet + long! Some times I thought I wish I had made it for 48 inch; until I think about turning that size log at 74 years old and 130 pounds! Of course I did get a 4500 hundred winch and made it so it mounts on mill to turn bigger stuff! Have fun and keep making sawdust!
you did good by not making it too big.
I grew up watching my grandfather and dad run a head rig with a circular saw like this. After that mill closed I worked in a big mill with 2 band saws on head rigs and a third band saw cutting the cants into usable lumber. We never cut pine into 8 quarter only 4 quarter. Brings back fun memories.
Those big logs are a lot easier to cut and turn on y'all's mill than it is on my mill for sure. Enjoyed the video guys!
thanks Gary.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.😊
Amazing process! Quite fascinating! Thoroughly enjoyed the process! 😀
That was an incredible video. Wow, the amount of knowledge to get outta bunch of 2x4's.
love those big logs, nice job mark.
thanks Jerry.
That was some fancy whittling on that big log Mark. Thanks for sharing. Hope the eye is healing.
thanks Jerry , yes my eye is slowly getting better.
i can watch this all day long -- it sooths the soul and gladdens the heart : )
I worked in a sawmill as a young feller and loved every minute of it, wish I could back even if only for a few days. I'm sure you older guys know what I'm talking about.
Hi from Oz! Nice Bush mill Content! Enjoy! Large Corp. Mills in the modern age, may just Chip the Whole log. as is. For Chip Export. See as Pine.? or else Throw thru a Large Quad Saw, Computer control To size what slabs of the log they want!. to suit timbers they require.with further size milling. high speed!. Yeah probably Debark the whole log, for pine bark beforehand, for value add, for Horticulture sales etc. Enjoyed this Video! Thanks!
Brings back memories from the 70's. I used to live in a small-town, Bunbury, which in those days had a few mills in the area. A couple of the young fellas that worked there had muscles on their muscles. You'll be able to get some 2x1's out of some of the off cuts, maybe even a couple of pieces of siding. 😁😁
Fascinating - always wondered how this was done. Cool stuff guys!
We had a 42 inch putts mill and ran it with a 301 6 cylinder Chev . Sawed railroad ties out of poplar. Pick the log on and lay on the stick. Not fancy but did a lot of work
Wow!! That's log I can watch all weekend. That will definitely get the bus motor all warmed up. Also, those items you were showing in the beginning all looked like craftsman workmanship. Very nice.
thanks Anthony.
Living the dream ! Nice profession !
I’m home with Covid and have had your videos playing on my television since 5 this morning. Watch them everyday of life. Need to make a trip and check everything out
hope you feel better!
Fabulous job. I'm stunned at how well you guys work together to get the job done. Greetings from Australia.
I'm 70, but as I watch this, completely transfixed, I'm back to being 9 yrs old, watching powerful machinery do what it's designed to do. Making huge wood cuts like a hot knife going through butter. I've never seen wood go through a saw at, like, 5 mph. This, of course, is no longer new technology, but it sure the hell is impressive, nonetheless!
Sawing up a big ass Hemlock up into boards with your buddies. Sounds like fun, I'm jealous
I really enjoyed the sound of that 2 stroke jimmy singing away there, very soothing. G great to see the Australian flag to mate.
A very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.
thanks Jack.
Hi Mark, Ed, ZZ, & everyone. Great video. Beautiful lumber. I didn't see any defects either. Love the gnomes. 👏👏👏😆😆😆😁😁😁 Have a good remainder of the week everyone. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲
As someone of Maltese descent, I was thrilled to see the flag of Malta (white & red) on the wall above the saw blade.
Goodb to stop by once in a while Mark. My sawing days ended when my R leg was amputated.
Hopefully by a doctor and not the saw u ran
@@wilmamcdermott3065 LOL, A logging accident in BC Canada. Stop by if you like to see molten silver being poured to make many things.
Great clip Mark and crew, that was a monster of a log Watched all the way Happy weekend guys Tony
thanks Tony.
Mark let Mr Eddie know to never put his hands anywere there is a moving saw blade. what could of happened if his sleve of his shirt got caught on the blade and pulled him into the blade. I dont want any of you guys getting hurt I enjoy your videos you guys put out. Please always be careful because we need all of you going home the same you came. God Bless you all and keep keeping me entertained love what your doing.
Awesome show. Thanks for sharing education videos with nature woodworking.
Nice job of whittling down that huge pine logs into usable lumber.
thanks Richard.
I remember some of the big ones. Good for a cold sweat if you need one. Thanks, Mark and crew. Doing the deal all the time!
thanks Lewie.
U 2, Pal!@@markgalicic7788
Send those boards with the bark to Lowes!
Amazing how many experts there are in the field of sawmilling !
That was enjoyable to watch. But it would have been nice if you showed all the lumber created at the end
Nice work, love from Scandinavia.
Interesting log. Fun to watch!
thank you.
The comment about twisted lumber pulled my heart strings and gave me goosebumples! Ive only seen you have twisty springy problems but a few times. Its hiw you run your carriage load huh!
👍👌👏 That was definitely better than quarter sawing this big log. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
thank you.
Anyone besides me see the foot long slip of wood wedged up against the saw blade starting at 21:55 ??? Very surprised Mark or T.H.E. Eddie never saw it !
I could watch this stuff for HOURS!!!
WATCH, key word!!
That saw is perfect for pine and other cheap woods with it's wide kerf. How big a diameter did these mills go with?
I loved watching The Real McCoy. Mike and Mother could get some wood out of that little sawmill. Glad I found you'll. Dan 🇺🇸
Your video is very good sir, inspiring. I really like disc type saw blades like that
Awesome work
That Garbage looked like perfect live edge "BOOM" plaque material.
yes it did.
I worked at a mill like that. Some of the best years of my life
Always a good time handling wood, especially in the morning
excellent work gentlemen, spent all day weds getting caught back up after spending 2 weeks in the hospital, was nice to watch you guys again
hope everything is ok John.
@markgalicic7788 damn blood thinners mark, hasn't been fun but seems to e getting there just keeping our fingers crossed
Yessir!🤗🤠👍this is beautiful! Gotta love! Imagine some of that stained and in your house!!!! Man!!!🤗🤠👍
Makes me proud to see that Oklahoma flag. We’ve had a very tough few days, since hearing one of r Oklahoma Legends has died from cancer. RIP Toby Keith & boomer Sooner baby. God bless y’all. Love ur videos
Loving that yellow measuring dial/wheel. Superb stuff guys.
Good job guys! Lots of lumber with that one! Don’t forget the batteries for that temp scanner! I have one like it for my Bullet casting. Take care and stay safe! God bless!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You make this look easy.
What percentage of that log was waste I wonder? What percentage typically is waste?
Another thought about the light. Mark. If there is a power supply out there, maybe a small light mounted on the pointer so it doesn't throw a shadow on the dial.
Really liked the video as usual. TY for bringing me along. :) May have to rename the town to "Nome Village" lol Lots of lumber from that ole log., from SE Texas Bear
thanks Barry , glad you liked it.
Nice log. I have two dozen or more that size on my land here in Kentucky. Been wanting to have them cut for unable lumber.
Great video guys
I would have thought there would have been a lot more money in making larger pieces than 2X4s.
I understand your blade wasn't tall enough to to quarter saw, but I am curious why you cut that down into such little sticks? Surely you could slab out some X12's, X10's, X8's, and X6's. Wider wood brings the prettier penny afterall. Unless maybe this was a custom order cutlist. Anyway thanks for sharing, it was fun to watch.
Work at Sawmills most of my life became a saw Fowler and a Sawyer started out as a welder and doing maintenance at 18.
I've worked in a hardwood mill since I was 19. I'll be 61 in December. Have run the head rig (47 foot band with optimized scanner) for the last 26 years. Starting to think I've had enough.
@@MtnMan62 we had a optimized Corley carriage that an the Army was to the longest jobs I've ever had I got hurt in the Army and then the mill run out of business after probably 70 years of running we already did the mell and put a Corley Carriage we had a Salem edger and a resaw system we had a 21 bay sorter it was a nice meal when we got through redoing it the only problem was it only run about 7 years after that
Beautiful wood. I dont know how you let any of that lumber go. Awesome videos
Holy! my home made gauge adds the width of the blade and the lumber size and accounts for every cut, and I always get 1 inch strapping first, and after I square it up i get exactly what I planned with my home made gauge. You can make your own easy. And the only waste I have is saw dust. Also I start by canting the small end over, and that is my first cut and everything after is exactly 90 degrees to it. As long as your having a good time and as a rule. I like to have a totty as well to warm me up on them fall days when the bugs are gone. I also noticed how many friends like to bring their logs to my house and buy me a beer lol.
That was absorbing. It took a while to realise you had the thickness of the Saw to add. When the Guage was shown towards the end, that's when I realised it. Thanks.
I bet that smells really good!
Thanks for the video Mark. Wow big log. At around the 22min mark it looks as if a wedge of wood got jammed in the blade when you were trimming up the log. Hope it didn’t heat up the blade. Thanks again
glad you liked it , no hot blade today.
Just wondering Mark. How heavy do you think that log was and what is the capacity of your mill?
I learned a lot. You old timers hit it hard and are an inspiration for the rest of us. 👍👍
Great stuff !!
thanks Alan.
Hello and Good Morning: I always enjoy your videos. I noticed some things about your machine but I don't know the proper description or terms for the items in question so I'll have to get back to you after I look it up on Edmiston's website parts list. Again great video. More later.
Very cool!
Nine o’clock in the morning having a brew and watching you guys that’s nice timber coming off the mill, this retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be you never know when your finished because you never know when you started , todays job getting the counter sunk set screws out of a twenty four inch planer shaft there all chewed up and there’s three blades and there’s nine in each blade , I’ve got the shaft out on the bench few have snapped off some are easy there’s no rush so it could be a two day job , you guys have nice day
Good that you got the 24” planer before you retired. Still wishing I had bought one before prices went through the roof. Enjoy 👍
It’s not my planer it just in for repair I didn’t take the shaft out people that own it are carpenters and have had the machine from new think there fourth generation, it was line shaft and had an electric motor fitted in the nineteen fifties
I knew a guy who worked at a saw mill. He had a bad accident and cut off the whole left side of his body. He's all right now.
Hows the left side doing? Is that side alright too?
Hopefully he is Free.
@@dinkywinky2860 I heard that he left it alone, 'cos he reckons it can get right all by itself.
Was that Bill or Bob?
