How to Save Money with a Sawmill! $100 in 8 minutes cutting 2”x8”x16’ boards! 

This dude is a working machine. Never stops lol

If I could give my kids one piece of advice, it would be to live like this man right here!

Who needs Home Depot or Lowes when you have Jeff Barron, your own timber, and a portable sawmill. Thanks Jeff, you can build or fix anything...preciate ya! Jack from Idaho

Definitely saving money no wasted energy on your part and you jump over them logs like a young man thank you Jeff😜🐝

Brings back fond memories of working with my friend for a few years on his wood-mizer sawmill. We made a lot of Live Edge beautiful tables, fireplace mantels shelves benches and such. Unfortunately he died of mouth cancer. He was a wonderful friend and devout Christian. He once went to Alaska with just a chainsaw and built himself a log cabin in the wilderness. He could do and build anything much like Jeff. God bless you sir.

Like you I planted my own trees 20 years ago and now I am thinning the stand. Unlike you, I have a chainsaw mill. It works fine for timbers and 8"x8" or 6"x6". Too slow for anything smaller. Watching you convinces me I need a bandmill. Thanks for the great content, love that cabin design and stay healthy!

Not boring at at all watching the mill work.

those skins would look great on the outside of Hannah’s gym .. give it a real log cabin feel preciate ya Jeff .. watching from Australia

I like the mill but the coolest thing I like is you are saving the material, drying it and in a lot of cases using it for your own projects like houses and cabins. I like to see someone reap the rewards or savings from their own labor. I like businesses that are smart enough to see where their costs are and rather than just buy from the cheapest manufacturer, they cut out the middle man and become the manufacturer themselves. how one business they started feeds another.

there's something really enjoyable about watching a saw mill

Jeff I thank you for being a real contractor I thank you for taking your time out and telling me how you do it I enjoy watching you Bill I enjoy the Rapport you have with your daughter thank you appreciate y'all

Nothing like watching. a true craftsman at work.

I love how you help us to remember, we can do it to if we learn how and we see it done. Awesome Jeff thank you!

Looking good Jeff! Thats how I built all of my buildings. Best investment I ever made. And how I acquired some hunting woods. No lease for me just cut some boards every now and then.

You work for every penny. Your knowledge is worth probably more than you make!

Jeff, I just about crapped my self when I noticed you didn't have any gloves on when you would handle the boards and not get any slivers. Good job there Jeff as always.

Thanks for taking the time Jeff to make this video.

I've watched other videos on other channels Milling trees but they waste so much wood and you do it right you don't waste any wood I love you videos God bless good luck

i watch another channel, he's good, but u don't miss or waste a second. luv watchin u & HANNAH NO MATTER WHAT u do.

The epitome of Self Sustaining 👋🏻😎 Appreciate ya Jeff

Hey mr. Jeff always enjoy watching your videos and Hannahs ya'll keep them coming stay safe

I really enjoy work when I'm watching Jeff do it😉 Jeff you might need to get you a Bluetooth mic to clip on your shirt so when your working away from the camera we can hear you better. (Your saw mill doe not need one)😂 Thanks for sharing👍👌👍

Dang! Your sawmill has all the bells and whistles! nice!

Yall got them pines that grow like weeds down there.

U are Great Pro...Craftsman Jeff Terrific job Mr. 👊

That's nice having the equipment to do and make what you want. Definitely save some money especially right now with lumber going sky high.

That slab wood would make some damm nice siding on a camp

Yes Sir! That machine right there for a Regular Joe trying to make it,is right next to hit the Lotto. Blessings!

I can almost smell the pine ...another good video Jeff!

At wood prices today you are saving a lot of money very nice Jeff 👍

Jeff always good to see ya buddy! Dude not sure if I could keep up with you today, much less you a few years ago. U B a Working Machine man.

As a Blacksmith I find this truly satisfying...

You know its bad when ya walk in from the mill and watch someone else run theirs.

Just plain awesome Jeff, great video.

A idea for your RU-vid site, do you have ways of preserving foods, that would last for decades? It would be a great add in for people!

Jeff, love your sawmill videos!! Awesome.

Great job . Enjoy watching you makes me want trees and a mill

You know that's a pretty good mill you got there Jeff. Looks like it's withstood the test of time. Granted not everyone has the space for a mill on their property but for those who do, man, sure saving some serious money I tell you what. Lol

Thank you for your time very much like watching your video ☺️🤠

Yes I loved every second of it thanks for showing The sawmill I hope there's more

Could you do a video like a looking back getting started into the carpentery the hunting the fishing just being a good Ol country boy. I’m sure there is a lot of people that would just like to know!

That is so satisfying to watch. Love these video. Thank you

Great looking lumber. I would love to get one of those mills. Great video Jeff! Preciate yall!🦌

Have you ever ran any Hardwood through that ? I helped a neighbor refloor his old flatbed truck using some White Oak that he had , I had to use a drill to put a pilot hole in it just to drive a nail ! lol . Hard as Woodpecker Lips !

I’m enjoying these lumber and sawmill vids. Make a bunch and I’ll keep watching.

This looks like a good learning experience

Appreciate you making this video.

hey! you said it wasn't gonna be time lapse! because DAMN you made that look easy for only 8 minutes ;)

Always great videos.

I would like to see you do a lot more of those very interesting

Made quick work of that Jeff. Very nice!

That’s really nice great set up

Watching a saw Mill is satisfying.

How much do these type of mills go for? Would be nice to get something like this when I build a cabin on our farm. I’m 25, and been saving awhile. I’m a apprentice in ibew but know a decent amount of most trades from working growing up. But I’m stuck between building another cabin on our farm and getting a mill. Or buying a few shipping containers and making a cool house out of them. I can weld so that would come in handy with the shipping containers. Anybody that’s older that’s done either of these or own a mill like this can you pay it off pretty quick from cutting and selling wood? Or what would you do a cabin or use containers? People do so pretty cool stuff with them. I’ve got a great spot looking over the Ohio river I plan on building a house this year. We just built our hunting cabin this past year.

Great vid Jeff. Cheers🍺

Looks like you push your machinery as hard as you do yourself. Hope your arm is doing well. Thanks for the video Jeff.

That rig cut some good lumber.....hands down

Another thumbs up like always. Next video can you saw the largest log you can on that mill?

Nice setup man! Sure do miss Alabama!

Nice work Jeff!

That sawmill is bad ass. Dont see machines like this much anymore

Thanks Jeff great video

Awesome job buddy

Not to mention baling up the sawdust and selling as bedding for critters, or for folks with composting toilets. Gorgeous lumber.

Just found the Channel.. Been looking at Investing in a Sawmill. Mostly Hardwood timber here in NW Mo.

How long do you let your logs sit?...and do you dry the lumber any more after you’ve cut?...both you guys are great..can’t wait to see more of the hunting cabin in Kansas

You probably got his question many times but when you cut a 2x10 is it actually that or do you cut them as they come from Home Depot?

Keep em coming, nice work my man!!!

American whup ass attitude, make it happen! Respect to you, sir.

Your own sawmill, awesome! Look for ways to use everything, maybe even profit .

I noticed you didn't remove the bark before milling. Are you concerned a rock or mud might get stuck on the bark and dull your blade? That's a nice set up you have going on there.

Fine job.

Great videos love you'll and appreciate you'll great content " Anyways " stay blessed

What did that piece of equipment run. Ballpark. Not trying to pry. Just interested on future endeavors. Thanks.

Hey Jeff, would you say that it's ok to have 1/8 tolerance when you make lumber or do you expect it to be right on on every cut? Question from Nova Scotia.

That was cool , wanted to see more

Jeff, quick question. What do you do with the slabs after you’re done milling your lumber? Do you burn them, sell for pulp wood, or have you ever thought about using them to cover blinds?

Do you also kiln or air dry the boards as well Jeff? Or just use it green?

Thanks Jeff

My 2 nd/great grandfather/ Peter morell Jones had a sawmill on his property when my grandfather Joseph Lester Jones was a young boy. My son has talked to me about us buying one of these types of small saw mill machines. Might just invest some of my 401k money into doing so once I move back to live in the Northeast Tennessee in the tri cities area around johnson city/bristol and kingsport. Could be a good revenue generator in my older years.

$24? I think Lowes charges more than that. Last time I was there, they were trying to scam $10 for a 2"x4"x8'

Great video! What kind of machine is that and Where did you get it. Would you recommend it or anything you would change about it. How long does it take that to dry before you can use it. Thanks

Seen a lot of beautiful wood. That there driftwood is very pretty.

Cool vid, just picked up a Mr Sawmill built on a trailer.

Have you ever worked with the Harbor Freight saw mill? Thinking of getting one and was wondering if it’s any good.

Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Would love to make my own boards.

Love your work ethic, you geter done.....

What do you do with all the scrap pieces that has bark on em? Like to use em as siding on my house. Talk about look good 👌🏼👌🏼

Great video. What brand of Mill is that?

Wondering what happens to the barkside cut wood? Do you use it for cladding or suchlike?

Hey Jeff, you may have said in a previous video, but what model is your mill and what size motor is on it? I am wanting one for our farm and the size of your mill looks perfect for what I’m wanting! Thanks

Hard working family an good country folks

How wide will yout mill cut? I have a friend with a Lucas Mill, which is nowhere near as fancy as yours.

He's taking DIY to the Nth degree.

Thanks For Sharing! Enjoyed watching it! How long does a saw blade last?

What is the brand/manufacturer of your saw? That’s good stuff, man! Thanks.

Hey there... Quick question, what would you recommend using for a finish on a 1x10 pine bar top. That won't change much of the pine color.. thank you

Nice job Dude!

Your a working machine brother. What do you do with the pieces you trim off? Firewood?
