sawing white oak 4 29 21

[Music] bye [Music] all right it is our friday eve yeah so what you got me yeah he got himself got another one of them tape measures so eddie's set here what are we doing for friday eve we're going to cut us a nice big piece of white out yep and then uh there's they brought another one that's really kind of junky but probably about 200 board footness log it's up on the deck here so we're going to give you just a quick video of sawing this up he wants mostly two-inch stuff so we'll go ahead and get the bus motor fired up and we'll see up in a saw cap all right let's get this show started and we got a big piece of white oak 12 foot long and we're going to saw it up for a customer uh this was our bread and butter years ago song for people so we figured make a nice little friday eve video and one side this log is really nasty the other side is clear so i don't know what we'll get mostly two inch stocky ones been a while since we had a hardwood on this mill and i'll show you my method of selling hardwood uh you may not agree but that's you're right don't have to agree with everybody so let's get this onto the carriage as gently as possible and that's just about where i wanted it to so when you got big nasty ugly faces the way i normally saw is i try to work that off okay now we're gonna put the old master dog to the rescue and i'm not trying to take big chunks off here at a time so i'm just trying to slowly open this log up because we're getting paid by the foot here i'm going to see how much of this big nasty all right we're gonna get a little bit more of that i don't want to end up with uh don't want to end up with a five foot piece of four inch thick and then he can edge these uh we always call them ironing boards the little pieces you get off the back so we're gonna peel some true four quarter off here until we get a full face here sorry about the camera people and we'll edge that stuff out that's gonna be a pretty piece of wood actually yeah one more board and we're going to turn it to the other face which we're going to put this down on the blocks to get us to our target that's just about perfect all right that's a heavy piece of wood there reverse the knees a little bit all right let's see what this looks like this is coming out i might throw a little taper on this front corner and from here on in we won't uh we won't be using a master dog so i just want to get us lined up here again i'm going to try to keep as much usable wood off the back side of this as possible no sense of just hogging it away so that'll give us a nice face to work with there now some four quarter and once we get to a certain point we're gonna start pulling a bunch of two inch stick he wanted to buy anything let's try it i don't know what he's trying to make but we're going to edge him back out in the middle in fact i think i'm going to pull two inch right now yeah he's teddy's going to clean it up a little bit little plus motors liking this how's louis mcneely that's a beautiful piece there people all right let's lay that down i don't know if i got bark underneath that thing or not all right same story here we're going to take as little as possible off then we'll pull a couple thin ones off should take a little bit more get past that bark base something we can edge off now wedge off so there's some nice two inch look at that grain look how beautiful that is trying to close up on us here a little bit all right let's bring that last space out you're talking a longer ways the better part of a ton here all right we're dogged down let's do the same thing all over again go back and just get up shove that to eddie there you go all right i'm gonna pump that back here something that bear with me for a second here there we go it wasn't quite pulled back but we're all right we're still in the opening face so all right let's clean that up we're gonna get a little taper on it there we go some was behind the knee it wasn't my taper neither that's i can't figure out what was going on there but now we're back into the two-inch stuff i don't think we even need to edge that one out ed this one is going to come off of here next so yeah you can feel it bouncing the whole cab that's for sure all right let's work the other two faces down we'll get into some knots it's only a bad thing about these big logs everybody thinks you're going to get clear wood all the way down it's going to work out that way that's a nice face there so let's just try to bring it back out as close as we can and i'm going to pull a nice two inch or a few two inches off of this i'm just trying to cue this saw back up a little bit eighth inch at a time we're almost there let's see if that's running true back there that will work big and heavy give them a minute oh you're talking a 200-pound board anyway all right let's roll that other face out we're getting into knots again it is hot it's over 80 degrees again today that's a nice space there too all right let's just check this face real quick before we pull a two incher off of here these logs will literally start to spring a little bit there we go looks like we'll have another good one behind it so all right now we'll go down and catch our other two five-inch faces all right let's clean that up a little bit and pull some more two inch now that moved very little it was pretty consistent the other direction that long was springing he said he wanted to make a homemade bed um where are we at in the center there let's bring that other face back on and run it right down into the center and that will be it much better all right this widower down installing hardwood you have to rotate your log there is no such thing as just run them down we're gonna let this go with that you can have one thicker piece in fact that piece there is really garbage two boards edge off here and we will have this little log taken care for you wedge one side at a time all right let's go back to the laser that'll be good all right that's gonna be hard for me to see but we'll all right we're gonna estimate this one of course we get most of that bark off of there i could open that one way up that's a pretty bored there he's pulling off no doubt about it that's a nice piece of you pay some money for that that one board there's probably worth worthy paid to have it is sold up but they all can't be nice well wedge just one more off here and we're going to let you go here all right it's just easier to edge the thick stuff on the mill everybody's wondering why aren't you using your edger it just just makes more sense all right let's take that madness off and the last cut that's another nice board and that's the term fas when you when you talk about lumber grading stands for first and seconds which means the first and second board off of that log is going to yield your highest grade get a little bit there eddie all right let's go back to the laser sorry about my video and today i'm not quite trying to pay attention to things here another nine inch board all right all right everybody we're gonna let you go here thanks for watching we'll talk to you a little bit later all right ed that didn't take us much more than what less than an hour less than an hour get it all edged off and uh it got some nice wood out of there yet he did i mean if you if you look at the whole the whole deal that uh piece of white oak they did all right we still got some pine edge off there but uh there's that little short ugly log uh we didn't show you saw on that that was a it was a wrestling match it probably took almost as long as i saw that little piece of piece of twisted up naughty thing but uh i don't know some people are into this stuff here and we had eddie stu he stopped down to cut up our slabs for us so we always appreciate it yes extra help is extra help and that's great so alrighty everybody it was a friday video and i'm gonna get home and put this thing together so we will see you saturday morning up here and i don't know we'll get into cutting more too before we just got some more we got a lot of cotton to do so we'll keep you some videos coming thanks for watching please
