ReplyDeleteWhat Jo-Anne said. Me as an amateur wood worker always wondered about saw mills.
DeleteI'll second that.
ReplyDeleteHere's a few more videos from a mill I worked the woods for while in college. Glad I worked outside, that work is not for me...

After Mead and Champion sold their woods off to private equity firms, the forestry jobs went to outsiders for the most part, so why not join the army?
That’s some fine looking lumber..
ReplyDeleteVaagen Brothers has some great videos on their YouTube channel. This is one of them.

They're very forward thinking, on the cutting edge of processing small logs.
no drying kilns to get the moisture content where it needs to be ?
ReplyDeleteThey also forgot to say that all the warped, cupped and otherwise crappy lumber is shipped to the Home Depot near me.
DeleteThat pretty fascinating!
ReplyDeleteMy second to last career was in automating sawmills in most of the Western states over to Pennsylvania and up to Ontario and Quebec. Hardwood were always my favorite mills, and Canucks my favorite customers.
ReplyDeleteGetting upset that Lowes or Home Depot has crappy lumber is like getting upset that Target has lower quality clothing than Saks.
ReplyDeleteI've always found a local hardware store carries a better quality of lumber than the big chain stores do.
