Been living most their lives, living in an Amish paradise.

I have Amish friends in Tennessee. They don't stop working to visit. You start working to visit. I love it up there. No phones, tv, internet, sense of time. The buggy ride to the store is always interesting. The "English" as they call us get a lot of looks when you pull up at the grocery store in a one horsepower 4-wheeler. Some of the nicest, down to earth and funniest people you will ever meet.

I worked at an Amish sawmill that made hard wood hand nailed pallets when I was a teen. Told my friends at school I was a "Pilot". The wood came off the mill and I would "Pile it". The Amish teen I worked with looked like Night crawlers were living in his arms! Piling green slab wood and lumber plus swinging a 24oz hammer all day. We were absolute beasts!

I am an Amish Taxi driver and I haul different crews all over the place. Some of the hardest working folks I ever met. Also hired them to do a select harvest of my hardwoods. They came in did the job and did not trash my woods like I seen other logging crews do to other properties.

I live in Amish country and when I was real little, we’d go to the saw mill for anything we needed lumber for, much higher quality than store bought lumber and it was just amazing to watch them work and being real young, you think it’s so cool, once you realize how hard it is to do this all day you really appreciate how this is all done.

People can say or think what they want about the Amish people but, in my opinion, they are a group of very fine folks.

if only i were raised with even half of their ethics, honor and hard work from a young age....... these folks are living the good life :-)

There are all kinds of Amish that practice their own way of life. I have worked at a sawmill very similar to this one and believe me it is hard work when you do the way this family does it. The mill I worked in was built in 1924 steam powered and the cutter was unhappy with the fireman who couldn't keep up steam. I was interested in steam and got selected by the cutter by simply asking me can you keep up steam? Yes I replied and started firing the boiler, the fellow I replaced told me I was firing too heavy to which I replied you need to build up your fire so that power is available when needed and I did. I only lifted the safety a couple of times an hour. In between firing I would refill the oil cups on the engine and jack shafts to keep them properly oiled. The cutter told me I had a job for the summer as I wasn't family but took a liking to me and my appreciation of the old ways of doing things. I had a blast that summer in 1965. This brings back a lot of memories. I was 15. Cheers

Fluid motion, everyone has a job to do and are keeping pace. This is how its done people. Respect for the Amish.

My dad has been a Sawyer for 42 years and this takes a lot of hard work. Bravo fellas!

Look, I read some of the comments here and we better watch what we say about them. I stand proud to say they completely framed in my Great nephew's house in Ohio without a flaw and did a beautiful job. These folks are living the life as close to the Lord as they can and others better keep their mouth off of them.

I've been cutting down trees for nearly 25 years, but I've never done this part. Respect to the hardworking men in this video, and shame on the keyboard experts that show everyone how ignorant that they truly are.
-
When you hear the sound of this saw cutting you know that it is very sharp and the blade well taken care of. No burn marks, no jamming in the cut and only a little slow down. This is a sweet running saw mill cutting a particularly difficult log. Very impressive.

I worked in a sawmill for years and all I saw was some hard working men doing the best they could with what they had... I would gladly work with these guys.. they knew what to do and when to do it ....
-
Hats off to these guys! My uncle bought a sawmill and that was the hardest and toughest job I've ever done.
-
These guys are tough as an old oak tree. Imagine doing that all day. I think I'm tough but I'd probably crawl home and cry after one day. God bless 'em
-
Wow, these young men are showing this 69 yr old man how hard work can be made to look easy. I salute them!
-
You can tell when people are really good at a job - they make it look easy and straightforward ,
