From Forest Rejects to Bank Checks. Turning top wood into profit with the LT40 Woodmizer 

An old mountain climbers saying. "If your feet are cold, put on a hat."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Emerald runs that mill like she's playing a musical instrument.

It looks like you had some fun making this video wearing your crown, the royal wave demonstrating you are the queen of the lumberyard.

Glad to see you girls bending at the knees and saving your backs.

As always, great music, great photography. You girls and your family are a real delight.

*_“The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the LORD had done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”_* (Psalm 118:22-23)

Nice "royal wave" at the end! LOL Good to see getting as much use out of a valuable resource as possible!

Give that guy the shovel he wants 😂

Didn’t mind the commercial break at all. Excellent video very informative and pleasant to watch.

Hard to explain but I feel a zen like meditation when I see the mill running through the lumber

Some of those flitches look like perfect firewood....

" One 4x4 is better than no 4x4" said the guy that needed one more post to finish his fence. Seriously, you people do good. Thanks for sharing.

Small logs are great for posts and timbers. 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 etc. Center the pith and you're off to the races. It minimizes the waste.

Merry Christmas and happy new year for Lumber Capital Log Yard ...I miss you jade 😊

That queenly wave has served me well for comedic effect for many decades!

the Queen Elizabeth wave!

Hello Emerald and Jade. Great content, work and video. Always look forward to watching and learning. Nice Queen wave at the end there Emerald. Have a super evening all.

The forest will eventually use tops and smaller logs for soil building which is not really a waste. I remember my Dad had a logger drop a couple hundred Beech tress so the more valuable trees would grow in. It took a couple of decades but there is no trace of those felled Beech trees today. Good deep soils make for a healthy forest. There is years of firewood left behind as well. If I had what the Boss has, two of the hardest working lumber ladies maybe things would be different. There is something to be said for not sending you children to college!

Toooo phunny using the "Parade Wave".... lmsao love it.

Love see how u save an use all logs

Thanks for sharing 🍸.

Very early for this one, All the very best wishes to you 🇺🇸from us in the Uk🇬🇧🎉

Can’t wait for warmer weather 🤣🤙

Great to see the smaller logs put to use while limbs and smaller sections will still provide habitat and nutrients up in the forest. Emerald, the hat does look fabulous, especially with the LCLY logo. Keep warm Ladies. ☕☕

Emerald, i'll adimit that the ins and outs of your woodwork generates interest, but the agreeable forms of you and sister Jade could sell refrigerators to eskimoes .

and yet next week the weather, well temps are scooting back up.... though I do like the hats.

I was wondering what you did with the small cuts glad you use as much as possible from a tree

First tjme I've seen Zach in long long time.

Wow didn't recognize you with your hair braided ❤ looks chilly Have a great day everyone 📹👍👌😉☕️? Stay warm

Lumber Capital Looooogg Yaaarrrd. I love these E & J videos and your hard working, cheerful expertise.

The branches that "rot" away in the woods are actually the fertilizer for the next generation of trees. 🌲

Make tomato stakes out of them

Thank you for that hand action. I've been wanting to see more of what it takes to juggle that machine, but please also tell us what you are doing as we watch your hands navigate the levers.

Lipstick on, Hair Up, BF on site! Lucky Guy.

Agree to your way of thinking speaking with 50 years woods experience thanks for your videos.

Here’s a suggestion that you might want to consider with these small logs. Custom builders would definitely buy pre cut one- wane edge beams for exposed ceiling beams-3,4&5 thick, and as wide as you can get, like 8,9,maybe more. I believe if you built up a stock of these and passed the word around, there are dozens of builders who would like to just pick’em up rather than make a custom order. A lot less slabwood in the end. You could also ask premium prices for these because these would be used in high end projects where art is involved. Love your spunk!

The difference between ORDINARY and EXTRAORDINARY is just that little EXTRA!

We cut small diameter logs into 4x4s, 6x6s, or whatever they may yield. Dunnage and cribbing have a market here. We can squeeze two dimes out of a nickel.

So wonderful and considerate to take what would be wasted and make useful…….if more folks would take the lead you have taken

I always kept that in mind have little or no waste

I like that new hat!

Sound starts on the right channel only but then goes to both ya fixed it. 🙃

this family business runs like a finely maintained machine with top notch employees! its wonderful to see a successful small business. if yall was closer to north Ga. ida bought all my trailer deck wood from yall for sure. i did get it from a good small business in ga.

Your funny Emerald!! 🤣👏

4 slabs and a streak of sawdust.

Was a builder for many years, retired now, builders building rustic,homes,cabins ,log homes might be a Great way to make more money on your small logs. As a builder he can pay you good money for ways he can offer little extras to his clients. I can think of many ways I could have used an had you to cut for me! One months interest payments will buy a lot of little extra touches. By the way you guys are GREAT.

Using less than ideal logs, is part of my argument for keeping the LT-40 even after you get the LT-70. You keep the LT-70 on the truly high production jobs and do the lessor jobs on the slower LT-40 and LT-15. I can see Emerald on the LT-70, Jade on the LT-40 and Judah on the LT-15. Likely need three swampers, two on the LT-70 and one on the LT-40. Judah can work away on RR ties with out a swamper: just a hydraulic crane.

Not to mention clearing the forest floor of fuel in the event of a fire ! Like us in California we're cleaning and chipping tons of wood...love your videos😊

You know I’m really on a roll when I am now watching this video a second time and got a second good idea! Since we’re talking about architectural features here, how bout full, half and quarter pre debarked columns. I would think if they were polished a little with a disc sander, people would snap them up!

What a wonderful job you do! I'm so impressed! God bless you all!

Enjoyed your mountain climbing short,you are all looking well including your Mother Teri in the oil change video.Take care and continue to enjoy life,(good things starting happen in Australia personally on major front),cheers.

Much respect.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

We appreciate Emerald and Jade are actually dressed appropriate for the difficult and dangerous work they do. Other milling podcasts have the females dressed for viewership vs. the milling process. We enjoy Emerald, Jade and the Boss Man and Boss Lady’s knowledge and we also enjoy your downtime videos where you can appropriately dress for the activities. Thank you and keep up the great work, while staying safe. Kristine and Dean

Great video.

Leaving wood behind in the woods in not waste. Some dead wood in the woods is very good for the woods. Decaying wood forms an ecosystem on itself and that keeps the forests healthy.

Great environmental impact, thanks so very much!

Beautiful

Very nice work 👌💪

Like the binnie, enjoy the milling process

Burrrrr...🥶 Emerald... You're blowing smoke today... Gott'a be cold there... Keep warm my dear....

love it

nice beenie!

The way you operate on those little handlebars is awesome!

I’m so grateful I found this exquisite and inspiring channel,thank you LCLY!!!

4x4,2x4,1x4 they all sell good. A sale is still money in the pocket. Awesome ladies thank you.👍♥️♥️

Please send some of the logs to Texas. I see bowls, pepper mills, and other turned art projects.

Yet another great video, you girls are killing it!!! Love hearing from Ken, Grandpa, & the rest of the family also. Much respect to you all... 🙏🏼💜

Cool seeing the machine zoomed out, interesting to see it turning the wood over as you do each side.

You say what you want to say as many times as you want. Great video!

Rocking that hat 👍

Great Videos! I do have some suggestions, learned the hard way, of course. 1. Wear leather gloves; I have a lot of hand injuries over the decades. About the time you run a sliver through your hand, you will agree, better to wear gloves. 2. Lower back support belt; purchased at any Walmart or Amazon. The type that velcro latches up front. You will thank me in your 60's, or sooner! 3. Eye protection: Sooner or later, you will run the saw into a spike or other item the tree grew around and your saw blade will come apart or other flying debris will slap you on the noggin. In 1987, I had an eye injury that required 6 hours of surgery to put back together. It was a horrible experience and still makes me cringe. 4. Knee Pads; Somewhere a long the way, you will take a blow to the knee(s) and your knee cap will be broken and like mine, was shoved about 4 inches higher than where it should be. Again, surgery and 6 weeks of hobbling around and another year before it was back to feeling normal. Safety First Ladies, Safety First!

I'm glad to see you tie back the hair.

Good work Girls ! 👍👍👍

This is sooo cool! Its why I like your business and your family so much! Being able to have almost no wast is amazing! Then I’m sure those small cants you sell as fire wood so win win. You guys rock!

Ya'll talk the talk .. N def walk the walk.. No tree goes to... waste!! 👍🐺🧙‍♂️🦊👍

You two Ladies are a major asset to the family business. Nothing you can't do, and no one can stop you. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas.

love your videos keep up the good work

Waste not,want not! As my Nana used to say. Life can't be all big custom orders. Well done team.

Thanks beautiful ladies

I don’t know why you don’t like to wear sock caps, it brings out your natural beauty. 🤠

Love your videos! Love your life style ! Thank you for sharing with us! Merry Christmas love yas!

Any piece of lumber puts money in your pocket and for sure ensures that they weren't cut down in vain

Nice pony ail Em, keep your head warm

Logging my 78 acres right now.. trying to talk my logger into dragging tops out for me with hopes I get a little mill soon.. Amish aren't paying to well

Those beanies are cool may have to get one .❤

I've been cleaning up the 'small wood' from a logging trail and seasoning it for hardwood / whitewood bows! So much beautiful wood left over! Maple, Hickory, Black walnut, Black Cherry, Beach and more!

Keep working, good luck.

Good morning to you and your family, Merry Christmas

Prima, nachhaltig ist die FORDERUNG der Zeit.

Good looking center cut 4x4's 👍😎✊

Yes, your idea about not wasting any lumber is a great idea. I know as a musician and a luthier (I build ukuleles). I would like to purchase lumber like the small ones you are cutting! They would help out a lot. Great idea and keep up the great job you are doing!

Working girl hands. Great!!

Using all logs is a good idea.

I think I remember an earlier video where you guys talked about the lower margin of profitability of top lumber. Nice to see a follow-up. Better sound after the intro music. Warm weather to the west of you guys. 50's here for a while. Hope you guys get some.

The first thing I noticed is that you were wearing a hat. It looks good

Helth and Happy holydays to You , your family , And freinds

Very nice work ladies I would make one recommendation Safety Glasses please.

The local mill Here in West Wales also sells the off cuts from (bark edges) they are not expensive, but do a good business in them, people use them to hide Bins or put around ugly concrete intrusions in their garden. they are not structural material more aesthetic .They are called TAFLU.. its Welsh for discarded, or rejects

hello lumber capital log yard & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
