How To Sawmill Like A PRO 

According to the thumbnail... YES *slams invest button* 🔘

That was beautiful wood and nice Exosuit.👍👍👍👍🤝

You're right, Cody's lumber is probably better than some I've seen at Home Depot and Lowes, etc.

Ok

can you even find #1 at big box? I have only seen #2

Home Depot is all about that shake.

A couple years back I started re-sawing as a hobby and to make some neat and interesting wood for a few buddies that make EXPENSIVE commission furniture pieces. Now, if I were so inclined, I could quit my construction management and super intendant position and strictly re-saw making damn near 6 figures if the market held its' current trajectory. I would miss all the travel though. Hell I bought a 54' ft class A RV that's been converted. I changed the sleeping area from a king sized bed to a twin that folds into a couch and the room converts to a conference room for when the weather is bad. Proper kitchen so I can cook actual food for my subs when we have our twice weekly production meeting. All the usual amenities of a luxury RV. Big ole fat mobile wifi hotspot couple of smart TVs because there is a lot of downtime. Maybe I'll finish teaching my 14 year old daughters to re-saw and pick old lumber to make new boards with so they can do that while I'm working and earn some spending money. Not sure how I'll shoehorn that between machining, teaching them on my run down MAZAK how to cnc, and the other aspects of fabrication but this could be a good opportunity for them. Thoughts?

I appreciate that!

Glad you liked it!

I don't cut lumber to please my wife, I cut lumber because I enjoy milling logs,

First thing I noticed as well! Better check on that Cody!

That must be why I see lots of hang nails along the cut?

Yeah, Cody better check that out.

Yeah, Brody, check on that.

Great suggestion! I'll consider this,

@@wranglerstar tack!

18 ft 2x3 with 47 pegs as key hangers

Glad you like them!

It’s also the most dangerous kind.

It's a great machine. Had mine for over 10 years. Makes great lumber and huge bar tops that he local band mills can't. As in 50 inch diameter oak. Pull lumber off the top, flip it on the forks onto the 8 x 8 bearers, make lumber off the other side, then skim. If under 8 inches (model 827 Lucas mill) one edge can be cut. Took 6 guys to lift the one bar top I made..16 foot long red oak! Amazing machine.

Wooragee,

Lol, he had the honesty to not cut that out but man... Some curse words might have been pronounced 😂

You bet

As long as he doesn't drop it on the power head that soft light stick would cause no damage.

Hard to make a good action movie when so much of the story is what's going through someone's head

@@shorttimer874 Yeah it’s true. Love the movie and the book for different reasons.

Defiantly a don't do!!!!! Vertical cuts should be done as a back cut!!

900% humidity here and 78 in Texas The heat index makes it feel like 104°

I agree, I’m a Tennessee man and 81 is HOT, I like it between 40 and 60 for working outside.

Not only the weight but the fact that it's 18 feet long. Very difficult to carry, even if it was compact.

You need to move. There are more job openings in the United States than unemployed people!

Confucius said that, right?

@@rustythrombosis5417 HAHAHA! Yes, he had indeed.

Knob....

Thank you brother,

You can cut lumber with out resetting the log unless you use a excavator to move the lumber

Easier sharpening

They're the quarter Saw king, equal to a band in recovery Saw through nails resharpen keep going set it up around a 50000 pound log and work your way down I've often thought how those band Saw carriages would go under such loads ?

Sure looked like it. In the view at 10:26 with the stickered lumber that first 2x6 board on the left looks thinner and a little wedge shaped at one end likely due to the shift

Wooragee 👍🇦🇺
