How A Wind Powered Sawmill Works- AMAZING

That last detail about soaking the logs for a year... Game changer. 🤯

After the Great Collapse, this could be a potential sawmill type, where is no rivers.

Could this be how the pyramids were built?

I’m a carpenter. I love this video!!!!😊

This video is awesome, I wish he did stuff like this instead of prepper paranoia nonsense. It really makes me sad to see where the channels gone

Fascinating video, thank you for sharing. The process of soaking logs in water is called water conditioning. Removing the sap and sugar from the lumber helps preserve the wood against insects and fungi. It could also help against warping and cracking as you have mentioned, depending on the species.

you would think it'd be easier to pull down but look at the tooth direction of the pitsaw in the picture

Amazing bit of engineering. Thanks for the tour.

Imagine how pricy lumber gonna be with zero carbon. Yeah.

In the old days you certainly did not want to be the guy underneath the log, hence the phrase "Top Dog" which means the best job position.

It is in the Netherlands as I see from the shoes. Where is this exactly. I want to see this

Just to say I visited this place last week and was totally amazed! The windmill was pulled down in 1942 but rebuilt with those amazing plans in 2007. And the guide said at their peak there was nearly 200 of these sawmill windmills!

Wow! I love this!
Spent many years working on a sawmill but this is amazing!

We often went to such places in Holland when I was in school. Most of the windmills were used to pump water. Holland is a few meters below sea level.
Greetings from the Dutch Caribbean.!

You're a weirdo for grounding your bed, but this video was great!

Wow that is so cool

Thanks for sharing

The logs in the water is something that is fairly used by many wood pruducts. back in the day , the old paper mills would have wood in the water for sertain amounts of time to get the best quality paper.

video too shaky

man, this is genious. specially the feeding mechanism. it is so beautiful.

Holy I didn't think you could get a wind powered saw mill thats crazy

You call everything you don’t understand as brilliant and elegant. You are just extremely ignorant, you are just as stupid as your smartphone

Koog aan de Zaan?

Whats this place named, please?

If you have any power to your dad’s broken give it to me

Ilfhave any power to the broken give it to me

L never thought you could get a wilnd mill to run a saw mill. What happens on hot sumerdays. and no wind at all..

i can imagine that takes forever but its completely autonomous

How old is the design?

The book "Growth of The Soil" by Knut Hamsun brought me here. The book is a Nobel Peace Prize winner in literature of the year 1920. A highly recommended novel on a tiller of the earth. A Norwegian self-made man starting his own farm in an earlier century. The book follows how he starts out anc begins as a humble peasant, but through his utilitarian and persevering work-ethic he cultivated rural land into a profitable and prosperous farm complete with his own barn, mill, flocks of sheep and goats and cows. And his wife also is merely a simple and salt-of-the-earth type woman, and yet they become quite wealthy and prosperous by the end of the book, they also discover a copper mine on the edge of their property, which makes them even wealthier as a family. A heartwarming book, with a good utilitarian self-reliance message to readers. Not to mention the book encourages modern readers to take an interest in things like how a water-powered sawmill operates and other things that involve European history, western agricultural advancements and implements, and the differences/similarities revolving around the industrial revolution's impact on how tillers of the earth carried out their work. "Growth of the Soil" is a highly recommended book that's been translated into over twenty languages and sold millions of copies over the course of many decades. It is very sad to compare this to the modern-day 21st century desecration that's been inflicted upon the decimated Western European countries, and the red-handed betrayal committed by our very own U.N. officials, the economic acts of betrayal counted least among these. The deepest circle(s) of hell are reserved for those who voluntarily import Islamic terrorizers and anchor-baby migrant families into their own homes and lands. An utterly irreversible act of self- sabotage and self-ruin that threatens to erase and usurp the very host-population and host-culture that made Norway and Sweden great nations in the first place. Great nations are born of great peoples. And all it takes is a rabble of conniving and treasonous pawns to turn their backs on their own and sell out their own past, present, and future in exchange for a kabob-stick and annoying rap music while they wrongfully make for one's own daughter.

I saw your short of this and accidentally opened the full video looking for more info

Anybody know what this mill is called / where it is?

We owe this mechanical technology to the Medieval Ages!

It is genius , like a swiss clock😯😉😁

How do you push the log , expert gear use😀😀,configuration😀😀

What is the name of the sawmill in this video?

Please tell me where I can get my hands on the Blueprints - The world needs more clean natural ways to Mill. Absolutely incredible.

Fun Fact: The men that would saw the planks by hand were called "dogs" and the lower ranking sawyer in the dirty pit was called the "underdog" which is where the term "underdog" comes from.

I made it with Woodglut plans!

sound is just too low... except the ads, those are loud enough lol

They should not run wind with you there.

I was intrigued as to how the speed of the cutting blades was exactly related to the wind speed. i thought that some kind of gearing or regulators had been invented by the " clever clogs" that delivered an even up-and-down speed to the saws?

The ingenuity of our European ancestors is something else. Also interesting to note that the steam/combustion engines weren't brand new inventions but rather the evolution of pre-existing ideas.

Wow! I would love to see things like this in person! Where is this or are there any in the USA?

humans are impressive creatures

Interesting fact for you. The guys working the pit saw were called dogs. The top dog and the underdog. That's where the saying comes from.

WOW I never knew they are using the chuckey cheese ticket cruncher to cut wood

I like the use of Roman Numerals
