That beauty goes thru the wood like a hot knife thru butter! Can you imagine a farmer 150 years ago, getting a load of 'that' and comparing it to all the HARD work he does to get even a fraction of the good lumber you got from that one log! Ready-to-use lumber with very little waste! AMAZING! And, 'you' had to know how to harvest so much wood from it as well! Fun to watch skill at work! Thanks! May God protect you. : )
Great video again, thanks for sharing. I'm following you since your early "LT 10 days" and I enjoy watching the progress in machinery and filming. All the video cutting is lots of work, too. Take care and looking forward to your next project..
New subscriber. Just came across your channel......fantastic. My wife and I will be looking into more of your videos. Very nice sawmill, it will serve you well. 😁
From trash log to treasure lumber. All the usual cliches apply here too. (Don't judge a book by it's cover, etc). As long as the log isn't rotten, and is reasonably straight, there is no reason not to mill it up in to dimensional lumber.
bwillan Whenever I see a log, I always envision it sliced up. Rarely do I think “This wouldn’t make nice lumber!” Even when I’m looking at pulp quality logs. Guess it’s a good thing I’m not a log buyer! 👍
Awesome milling! That winch put her on the mill that time perfectly, my trailer package is finally being delivered tomorrow almost a month later ordered it 5-20-2019 it's been a long hurry up and wait! Lol cricket is definitely getting into that ear of corn! She's a beautiful pup thats for sure! Happy fathers day and thanks for sharing!
With your closing commentary, you answered all the questions I had except for one. Is that southern yellow pine? With the light just so, I was able to see some really nice straight grain. It should make for a sturdy pole barn.
You want the lumber to dry, loose moisture, from the edges and faces most evenly. If your looking moisture at the ends the material will split at the ends.
I have been watching your videos for a month now, i am also watching similar videos, never thought i could enjoy videos on cutting wood, and of course planting vegetables. Thanks from Scotland.
Your usual nice camera work and editing. I'm curious about the power feed system on your sawmill, you think you could maybe take a few minutes in one of your videos and show it in more detail? It looks as if it's being pulled along a cable but so far I haven't been able to figure it out for sure. Thanks!
Young Man, Great Great Intro on this video, Love the camera work, showing us all the details of what needs to be done for your sawing. Love it all, Beautiful Blessed Day you have there, today..
Keep putting out quality content. Because of you I have a LT15 go on order. When it comes in I only have a 9 hr drive to go retrieve it. I hope to get a call it is ready this week.
Well nice job, I want to give you a few tips, use more water while you are cutting, and add a little soap to your water, you are getting a little sap on your blade, the soap works great on keeping this under control and you find your blade will last longer, and also will be easier to clean when you go to sharpen it. once again keep up the good work.
Another great video.....just shows what can be done with a log most wouldn't even consider putting through the mill...…..probably here in Tasmania it would be cut for firewood...…..Cheers
Hey I’ll be excited to watch you build your pole barn that should be some good video in the future but I have to say watching your little dog tear into that corn was the best part of your video. I had a dog just like that one you got there same colors and size and she loved eating the corn and tomatoes out of our garden when I was a young boy that brought back some good memories for me. As always I love your videos so keep’em coming!
Love your videos. Being from the great state of Georgia, thoughts on our current political climate. It is time to get real and deal with another segment of our current situation. Thanks
Man, it's like you read my mind. As the video was getting started, I was thinking "He generally shows us where he puts the 'waste', but I don't remember seeing where the lumber goes. And what is he going to do with all the boards he has milled?" I, for one, would like to see the pole barn build. Does anybody else want to see that?
Well my trailer package didn't show up until Thursday, but it's all together now pretty nice, I was wondering if you could tell me how long your loading ramps are, I have the pro package ramps with the spring loaded helpers but they appear to be to short, maybe I could modify them to work! Thanks for your help! P S .need another video! Lol take care!
Dave Holmes Hey Dave! Not sure the total length of mine, but I think those spring loaded ones might be for use without the trailer package. The LT15GO log loading package should include a winch and those black ramps. I think the spring loaded ones are designed to roll the log up a shallow incline to a mill on the ground with a cant hook and prevent rollback. The extreme angle created by the high trailer package necessitates the winch.
I purchased the winch mount, for my trailer package but wanted to try my spring loaded ramps there 45" long and was considering a electric winch I did not purchase the cable winch or black ramps, thanks! Fall line ridge.wood mizer sales all items separately instead of buying the complete log loading package thanks again!
You may want to look at the bad or punk pieces as valuable pieces: they can be made into epoxy coffee table', end table's, dinning table's desk; Now for hard wood's the crotch pieces are very valuable the possible's are endless. Here are some RU-vid site's for all sawyers to check out. Black Forest Wood Co. Matthew Cremona Out of the Woods Hope I did this right.
I would go crazy trying to run a mill like this, simply because I can't stand waste. I cringe every time you throw a cut on the burn pile. I would be trying to save every piece for some purpose. I would even save the sawdust.
I have 2 questions how do you get a good night's sleep with all the projects you have going. And what kind of blades do you use . How many logs can you cut with one blade. Sorry that is 3 questions. Love watching you work!!
Steve Dawson I sleep good BECAUSE of all the projects! I use 10 degree double hard for pine and soft woods. I have 4 degree for harder woods. It depends on how clean the log is as to how many logs I can cut. With good clean logs I can probably get 5 logs. A very dirty log will ruin a blade before the first log is done.
@@falllineridge any time I had a project going I would stay awake thinking about how I was going to do the project. Thankyou for responding. Keep up the great work and videos.
First things first, I love the pup. He will make quite the sidekick. I am on the second video and wondered why you leave tools leaning against the mill where they can catch the mill in travel and the other is why you leave that arm up that is not in use... the arm that logs rest against when truing them up for milling. I thought that when the log is true on the bottom that the arms folded down to keep from hitting them. I see that you only use one point on the side to hold the log steady and I figured that the log could still move if it is not real secure. I'm not putting you down, I just wondered what you learned / did different the way that you hold them when milling cause I watch a few milling channels to learn right way and not get hurt doing so. I only have one working arm but my right arm can be used to hold something if I only need two fingers. (porallises in right arm "arthritis") I would like to try doing this. I would have to get the log roller setup and lift arm cause one armed guys are not in high demand. Bullets from Nam left me pretty messed up. That was like forty five or so years ago tho so I kinda got used to it. Like I said why only one pinch point, leaving the arms up and I guess one other thing... why do you work from the far end of the mill bed?
Hey Morgan, thanks for watching. The tools and log stop being left like that was just sloppiness. Those things should have been moved. I work from that area of the mill because that's where I can perfectly center the log with the winch. The winch is mounted forward of the axle because there's reinforcement there. It happens to be closer to the rear of the mill than the front. However, If I had a longer log I could center it further toward the front. It is a versatile setup. I just like to center it to the winch as best I can, but it doesn't have to be perfectly centered to work properly.
@@falllineridge Thank you for answering my questions! I am old and bored out of my skull. I'd be better at holding a camera than work as I am on a pain pump. I got busted up really bad but when you are older, you won't think 80 is so old anymore/LOL. I thought thirty was old at one time in my life. The woodmizer is really popular and wood make a mans wage if he owned the trees I figure. Thanks again .. so you only have to pinch the log in place at one spot hu?
Oh, forgot to answer that. Yes, For the shorter logs I've found it's just not necessary to take the extra time to use both clamps. The clamps are very strong and one of them has no trouble holding the whole thing. I guess if the log was longer and one clamp was off center then I would need to use two. The old mill only had one clamp for 20 feet of bed. Worked like a champ. The larger hydraulic mills only use one clamp as well.
The rollers that the blade runs on have a back to them. The back of the blade which is flat has to rest against these while cutting. Without those the blade would fly off every time. So, since the back of the blade rides against metal, with pressure, it can't have sharp teeth. It would ruin the teeth immediately, and the rollers eventually.
