Brings back memories. Back in the 80's I worked for a company that bought out the Frick line of products. We were still building and selling carriages and saws that were made from cast parts. Fitting up the components of the setworks was a huge pain in the rear. It took a lot of sanding and fitment to get everything working smoothly. Whoever put this mill together did a good job as evidenced by the easy pull to move the log and components.

I love the sound of that Detroit engine! I have a 671 in my 70 Gmc grain truck. When I get my logs dirty, use the pressure washer on them. Have a Great Day!

Ha ha Great informational Video on how the old mill work I shared it with a youtuber I follow! Sawing with Sandy he would get a kick out it as I take it he hasn't seen one working! Tks!

Thanks for sharing another informative video with us John. Like I've mentioned in other videos you've uploaded, I enjoy watching a man working in an environment he's familiar and comfortable in.

Thank you Sir.

First summer job I had after high school was splitting off the saw to the edger and slab line. I’ve always loved sawing wood, it’s so rewarding turning trees into nice clean lumber. I would probably still be doing it if I could have made a living at it. Great video, live well and be safe.

You sir. Are an artist. Beautiful lumber.

My dad sawed on one of these back in the day. A worker known as a 'backhand' would use the cant hook to roll the logs and place them onto the carriage. Another worker was in the 'edger hole', and pushed the boards through the edger or pushed slabs on down the roller bed. I was at the receiving end and either threw slabs on a slab pile or packed the edged lumber on the truck.

Ive been around these mills for many decades and this is by far the most dangerous rig I have ever seen. I would not be caught anywhere near this contraption.

Worked myself at a saw mill where I grew up newer equipment than this though but still work hard Buckhorn was the name of the mill then changed to Peachtree lumber still running today western nc

The more I watch these videos, the more I can see your reasoning about what you are doing with the log. Nice work John.
