You need a infeed deck raised up so you don’t have to lift each piece as you feed it into the edger , we had rails with small rollers on the lumber pilling end of the mill , you placed a piece of u-channel on the roller rails , and piled the lumber on top of the u-channel , when the pile was complete , you rolled the lift of lumber away , giving yourself space to pile another lift . Eventually the forklift arrived to remove the completed lift of lumber . We also used the same system to feed the planer mill . 👍🇨🇦

Surely you can replace the beam that Jade busted or "sister" it up with another to support the overhead. With the new 70 on line working at an increased rate crew limitations you have an optimization problem. If you need to run the 70 at max caplacity with crew of two, then you need to calculate trade off benifit of standing down early in day to run the edger with the same two crew (Jade and Em). This is a labor resource constraint problem that you need to solve for maximum profitablility of product. Bigger businesses deal with this all the time and good number crunchers in operations could help you...if you had someone to help. Talk to people you know and trust and see if they can work it for you. The dance routines are nice and I am impressed with what you can do in work boots!

Us old timers measured the square footage and shape that each machine in the yard takes up, as well as the total area and topography that the yard has. Then scale down everything to the size of a game board and cut the outline of the machines out of different colour paper. Also, find a roll of paper and do the same thing with the yard. Now you can easily move the "paper machines" anywhere in the yard as many times as you like until you settle upon the perfect arrangement without having to repeatedly move the machines themselves.

Emerald, thanks for asking us for ideas. The first idea for your dad would be forced overtime. once a week everyone work till midnight. That should catch you up in a month or so. Second would be putting your brother to work now. Don't video him for a while and he'll probably be old enough to work by the time the authorities catch on. Third would be to add another edger. Seeing you work that edger easily with one hand while drinking coffee makes it a no brainer. I think Jade could handle the other end of both edgers with ease. Have your dad contact me about more ideas. Instead of running from position to position, you could dance from place to place and sell tickets. It would easily pay for an extra employee or two.

Jade could take any boards that needed to go through the edger and turn them around, send them through the edger to you. 'Then, while the mill was cutting a board you could unload the edged board. Jade would continue to handle the boards that were properly milled on her end. It would kind of share the extra work on the edger between you with her loading it and you unloading it.

we ran 3 people in our mill in the early 80's. one of the things you DONT have, is a conveyor, and a deposit table, where the stacker can recieve more than one board at a time, allowing the edger operator to run non stop for an extended period of time. if the stacker gets overwhelmed, operator can move to the back and help stacker. 2 people would get overwhelmed, (imo) to mill AND edge together. but edging to a reciever table, allows faster edging by using the operators help in stacking when the stacker falls behind.

Turn the edger 90° and put it at the end of the mill deck. That way Jade can remove the scales of the first cuts, run the following flitches through the edger (at a fixed width) and then , as normal, just take the finished boards of the saw deck. That would mean three pallets down by the deck. One for scales, one for sawn lumber and one for edged lumber. Guess the one for scales would have to be in the middle so Jade can put the offcuts from the edger on that pallet too.

Can you put the edger next to the mill (parallel) but in the opposite direction? Then Jade can put the boards on the edger and they come straight back to Emrald for stacking.

I’m with other folks advising moving the edger closer to the mill, or vise versa. Yes, you said the mill is bolted to a concrete pad but if there is a more efficient way to do things it may have to be moved. Think of it like a kitchen, where you have have 3 major places to get to: food storage/fridge, food prep/counter space + oven and cleanup/sink. A work triangle is most efficient where nothing is more than a step or two away. Working with 12’ boards expands that triangle and distances that have to be covered, but same idea. If you have to have the mill & saw 90° to each other, then maybe add a roller table or two and get an electric scooter or Segway so Jade can zip back and forth. Or a couple so Em can buzz down to help load the edger. Or like other folks suggest, incorporate edging each day instead of just Fridays. So, 6:24 sawing and 1:36 edging. Assuming y’all work an 8 hour day. Good luck! 👍

I have no opinion on how to set it up. I remember my years as a machine operator for a sawmill here in Forest county(northwestern PA). We'd average 800 to 1000 logs a day. I was privileged to learn and operate every machine except the headsaw. I refused. I used to run for 8 and 10 hr shifts in my 20's and 30's. It was the time of my life. I give my word that you both can easily operate your mill and edger simultaneously. I believe it. Crazy possibility- smaller outfeed roll case to allow edgings to fall freely to the side. God bless and keep up the informative and entertaining content.

Using roller tables reduces physical demands on workers and time walking. The rollers need to deliver slabs/boards to a collection point close to edger feed point and allows several boards to cluster without jamming the system/process. You may have to complete one log at a time through both processes. Having each work station lower than the previous one can help reduce fatigue

If you can arrange the edger alongside the mill so that the boards can make a "U-turn" or side move if they require edging you will save much space and get a nice work flow. Boards not needing edging can go straight to the pile off the mill. The only thing to solve is to get some sort of saw dust removal to avoid having to work between the machines. Having them alongside each other is also beneficial if you later on want to build a roof over the machines for better weather protection. If you cannot have the machines alongside each other, try to think of an right-angle turn instead, but this requires more "floor"-space. The aim should be to have both an efficient work flow and avoid as much manual handling (lifting, twisating etc,) as possible Using ball rollers in turns are very efficient.

The edger needs to be parallel and very close with the mill's outfeed table. After feeding into the edger the edged boards and trims can then be stacked at 90* to the edger's outfeed facing the highway with the end of the boards near the center of the cant being sawn. Jade stacks cross ties/slabs at end of the mill and lumber (at 90*... or a "fanned station" for each of 3 products) and also feeds the edger in reverse to Emerald who stacks the trimmed/edged lumber.

I think doing the edging at the end of each day is a good idea and put a cart under the edger to catch the sawdust.

Only 4-6 boards from the log need to go through the edger so put it next to the outfeed from the mill(Log loading side). Don't block the space for offloading the square edged boards that don't need to go through the edger. So boards that need edging get pushed over to infeed of edger and these are dealt with while the mill slabs the baulk(square log), don't out feed one plank at a time from the mill if cutting all the same width boards, cut 3-6 before pushing off onto the out feed .this would give second person time to deal with edger before boards come off the mill for stacking. the edger would benefit from an out feed that holds the centre board but allows outer strips to drop away then the board travels further down 16ft at least and falls onto a return feed back to the second operator near to the stacking area.

That big beautiful mill is so fast, you just need two helpers...1 stacking the good lumber, and another running the edger. An alternative could be to push the good lumber thru the plant, and sell the live edge fletches AS live edge boards, to woodworkers looking for that product, and save the time and energy needed to rip them down into a more finished product.

Edger and mill should be 2 separate processes. You two have a system of teamwork that works well for both jobs. Probably best not to mess with that.

I run a mobile sawmill. We routinely cut 2000 bft a day, with no edger. We edge as we go and it becomes efficient because you don’t have to handle that board again.

This takes a little room to set up. When my family had its lumber company. Ours was set up de barker then the saw deck to the carriage from the carriage the board dropped to rollers. Rollers took it through the edger then to the gang saw and continued out to the green chain on the dock. We had one person on the de barker, the sawyer, and no one until the green chain. Everything between the sawyer and green chain was rollers. You all don’t have a de barker or a gang saw so it should be easier. Just carriage to edger then green chain.

Relocate the slab pile forward between log deck and fletches, save some steps. Remove the extended roller table and relocate the edger to the end of shortened roller table so edging can be done directly once produced.

What you need is a return conveyor. You put it the board in it hits the return conveyor and sends the pieces back to the operator who is still standing at the same spot.

This is a reasonable idea. However it is my view that Jade does not have time to mess with the edger. With the edged boards coming back, Jade now has more work sorting and stacking those in addition to what is coming off the mill. My view is that the edging has to be done as a second process till they move up to automation.

I think the the boards going straight off onto the rack and then just chucking the twitches to the side is definitely the way to do it.

Only way I see to have two people do the cutting and edging would be to have rollers instead of a rear deck, so that the boards can be easily pushed along into the edger right off of the rear deck. That would of course require the boards to just fall off of the edger into a stock pile with the loose edges, and sort & stack them later. One way to make edging easier would be to have a staging area that is level with the edger feeder, and the mill, so the board can be pushed off the mill onto the staging area with ease. But it would still require that edging be done later to prevent running. I'm sure you'll find the best and easiest way for you two to keep doing what you do.

Just letting the boards fall off the end is not a bad idea. It would not take vary long to stack the lumber and sort out the junk edges. It may not go off the end as smoothly as one might think. That might be tested by pushing boards over a roller section and see what happens when they fall. However I am not sure that Jade has time to mess with the edger at all. It would be worth an experimental run in my opinion. It may require a system (it is available) to keep the board straight and level till it hits the end and then the system kicks the board sideways. This way there is not a tangled mess.

You should have a scissors lift to feed the edger. No picking up any boards just feed at the level needed Rasing and lowering for feed purpose only.

You may need a 'gate' operated by Jade to direct the boards and filtches to the correct pile. This Y shaped 'gate', 'slopes' and self stacking piles can be metal toped and wooden framed. To be converted to a metal frame when all the bugs are ironed out.

Set up the edger parallel to the 70 on the road side, operating from Jade to Emerald. Jade takes flitches off of the 70 and feeds them into the edger; Emerald offbears, stacking the lumber and offcuts. Drop the offcuts off of both sides of the edger to minimize movement. Seems to me to be the only way to run both simultaneously with two people.

I fully agree with the other posters as to locating the infeed mouth of the edger either directly in front of or slightly offset to one side of the outfeed end of the LT70 mill. If that requires pouring a supplementary concrete slab to locate the edger on for stability's and cleanliness's sake, then you should factor the new concrete slab into your finances as quickly as possible. The other thing mentioned was that as long as you two women are going to be the only two people working on the milling, edging, sorting, and stacking aspects of this operation, then the outfeed end of the edger is going to require being located as closely as possible to the operator's station of the LT70 mill. So that whoever is operating the mill can switch over to the edger, grab the board coming out of the edger's outfeed mouth, and then sort and stack those boards coming out of it. This is the only way a 2-person operation can maximize their use of time, motion, and expended energy so as to minimize the number of steps that each of you will have to expend over the course of a working day. Every single foot *(12")* that you eliminate from your daily efforts will roughly translate into a minimum of 1-2 seconds saved in time, not to mention the savings in kilocalories of physical expenditure that will be saved. The time, motion, distance, and energy saved by positioning your mill and edger as described above will save you *a minimum of one-to-two 40-hour work weeks at the end of a calendar year.* The longer your work day progresses, and the greater your fatigue becomes, the *MORE IMPORTANT* each second and each foot saved becomes.

They can not run the mill and the edger at the same time. The mill is too fast and we want it to be fast. It takes 100% of their effort to run the mill. Jades swamping job may not be quite possible at full speed even at that. so the edger gets run at a different time.

the one who fixes the boards (saws the width of the boards) directly behind the big saw send them directly through and they come out with peels and boards that send them down on rutch kana on beams lying on the ground so you can lift them up with a tractor or truck sort them with a side surfaces that become firewood on a which become boards in a pile that you can take with a tractor or truck, i.e. two piles on each side of the lifted load

One thing I see that would help a lot is take your fork lift and bring the stack of lumber youre working off of up to a little above the level of your in freed to the edger you would feel a lot better at the end of the day, not lifting every piece up to that levevel great video see you on the next one

yes, machines are just to big to have the same person operate them on both ends at same time. so one might think "set them side by side, feeding end of second aside the output end of the first one". this could be an option but here you need to have in mind the pieces not going into second process. can you put them away easily, sometimes you need a machine for the bigger ones. also, to consider is, can the mill operator take the boards and cut offs from the edger while operating the mill, and are the boards off the edger in the right place then. all in all it will slow down milling and thus not use the full capacity of the new mill. other then this, think on energy ore fuel consumption of the machines in side by side use when both run idle for times, as each will have to wait for the operator is working on the other machine.

Seems like you will need to move the edger closer to the mill, but likely have to build a cover over them both. They should not be out in the open anyway.... Might have to spend a little more to get it efficient. You will get it!
