Description
In the Wood-Mizer documentary-style series, we explore the real lives behind the timber industry. Welcome to the Scottish Highlands, where we spend several days with Keith Threadgall, a sawmiller and Wood-Mizer service agent.
In this episode, you will discover how a mobile sawyer works, carrying out on-site sawing jobs directly at the customer’s location. Keith shares practical advice and reveals the finer points of operating and maintaining a mobile Wood-Mizer sawmill.
The work of a mobile sawyer is about far more than simply operating a sawmill. There are no bosses and no subordinates — you are independent, you work outdoors, and you help people bring their projects to life. It is the grit, the craftsmanship, and the quiet dedication that turn raw logs into usable lumber. More than just machinery, this is a story about skill, patience, and pride in the trade.
