yo're welcome, i just posted some other videos of the other sawmill i work at, most of the footage is of us sawing large diameter western red cedar logs (5' - 7' in diameter)

how powerful the engine is required and the speed of a saw, How big is the saw blade and the thickness. Thank you.

@Numas02 @ the speed you are going it is a good time to focus on recovery, making sure you do not trim off too much of the shingles with the right hand, and taking time to examine the blocks before putting them in the carriage. Make sure to learn good habits, develop your techniques now, speed will come later.

Thanks for submitting a video. Some tips to make your work easier; keep your elbows in close to your sides and down low, don't lift the shingles so high to clear the frame, but drag them down low across your body. Your shoulders will last a lot longer. Also try standing erect while trimming. leaning forward over the trim board will not only wear out your back, but will also put your face over the chips and slivers flying off the saw.
