Milling a HUGE Sweet Gum log! Beautiful! 

As a man who lives and works in the city, I truly appreciate the life you live and the work you do, outside the city.

When I got passed 60 years of age I discovered it was a whole lot easier on me to watch others do the hard work. That's why I like watching ya run the mill. LOL. Just teasing.

I just recently branched out into sawmill videos and found your channel. Great presentation. It's cool to watch older videos and seeing you so happy at having 14K subscribers. Now 4 years later it's 344K and this video has 14M views. You deserve this good fortune.

I watched the other sweetgum video you mentioned here, and I'm working on getting all the logs from a fallen sweetgum in my neighbor's yard. Thanks for sharing these videos. I really enjoy the channel.

great to put that much work out there at the field and getting such a nice looking wood ! Well done! American hard working people, my respect and salute!

Beautiful work of man. The wisdom of hundreds of thousands of years to obtain the most beautiful that nature gives us.

The wood milling is great to watch, and the grain in the boards is fascinating to see.

Even though this is an older video, I still love it. You do such a good job with explaining what you are doing and why. Love your videos, keep them coming!

especially good video, sweet log . thanks for a fantastic upload.

Your life is really cool man.. a job in the forest , so peaceful and quiet . You own a cool truck and a loyal dog. What a life. I really want this kind of life. Make sure you plant more trees as well mister. Love it

I've watched a few different channels since stumbling on this subject and I think what I like about you is that you don't have the top of the line equipment. You just have the basics, which allows you to be proud of "doing it yourself," I mean how can you be proud when some machine does all the work for you like mechanically rotating the log for you, moves itself down the log etc. I'd rather be able to say, "I did it" Kudos. 👍👍👍👍👍 PS I love the outtakes.

You just keep doing the good job that you're doing and i'll keep watching. Thank you for the entertainment.

Fascinating work,keep these interesting videos coming,thank you for your time in producing it sir.

So that s how it's done . good learning vid

You were 13k subs at time of this video...you are now approaching 100k subs. Bravo! Congrats! I know absolutely nothing about lumber or milling but find myself watching because this is way better than all the junk on TV

Gotta say that you make the best videos on UTube sawmilling.

Nice work with very good machines. Thank you for sharing. From France.

Fascinating!!!! I've learned so much. Georgeous wood. A truly skilled Craftsman. Thank you.

Those boards were beautiful! Wonderful character!

great result wrg some timber that will look perfect when used plus knowing it grew and was felled and milled by you on your place congrats

Your love of wood keeps me coming back; it comes across in your videos. I enjoy you being excited. I hope y

Always enjoy your content. (We the willing have done so much with so little for so long , We now feel qualified to attempt the impossible with nothing.). That’s always been the motto of the just get it done kind of guys. 👍👍👍

Fall Line Ridge I just love your videos you got the log you milled the log in to slabs real pretty wood grain.The dog was soo cute.Thanks be blessed.

Beautiful find!!! Love the colors of the wood.

I literally jumped in my seat when I saw that poison ivy! I react badly to it and where I live it's everywhere, so I've grown to spot it quickly. Nice work on the log. Something new every time...

Ahh a lovely faithful dog :) that’s some nice wood to use for some flooring, once polished or treated it’ll look stunning.

Awesome video ,well done.bring- em on

It's great to watch videos made from your wood

I have always loved woodworking. This was awesome! Your camera positioning is epic... Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. Takes me back to my school woodworking days.

Thank you sir it's good machine thanks for sharing very economical video I am from India

I enjoyed this video very much indeed, I appreciated the professionalism throughout, very educational and to the point, Thanks again! 👍

Great video and interesting content. I built a band sawmill years ago, and used trailer wheels for the pulleys. I got a lot of enjoyment out of running it. This brought back memories. Good luck with your channel's success!

You know, I hadn’t watched until the end until just now. No wonder my channel blew up! 1.5 million views??? That’s amazing! I’ll be able to tell folks “I knew him way back in the day!”😁 thank you for the shout out! And awesome job on the outtake edit. Perfect!

Definitely explains why this wood is used in all the trim for older homes. When we look for houses to live in we specifically seek gumwood out. It’s beauty can’t be matched. Drives me nuts when people paint over it.

I am amazed, I didn't realize how different the tree looks each time you cut a slice. I just started watching your videos. I'm mesmerized.

Thanks again for an awesome video! There are lots of different species I'll never get a chance to saw because they just don't grow here, so thanks for letting us have a look at what we might not ever see otherwise.

Even the dog is happy with the great work,thank you for the teaching .

Love me some sweet gum. Good fire wood. Busted me up a a cord in 30 minutes with a splitting maul when I was younger. 😁

Always enjoy, thanx.

Wow Thank you so much for the shout out, really appreciate it! What a surprise at the end of a great video. Like the out takes too, we should put more of them on, the good Lord knows I have many of them! Thanks again for being a great American. Tim

Wow nature sure does produce some wonderful thi things

Dog was really enjoying that back scratch!

I loved this place

Sweet gum is beautiful when finished.

I love that old tractor

Lots of opinions on this species. Experience helps: Sweet Gum is a WONDERFUL Wood, and HAS been used, and IS being used to make all kinds of beautiful and functional things. Yeah, there are defects sometimes. Same with Firewood use; LOTS of Heat. - look it up. Just because some don't like it isn't much reason to call it "trash". Nice Sawing, nice video, and thanks for sharing it.

That is beautiful wood. Since this for a project at your home, how about doing a video on finishing the planks? The wood is beautiful in rough cut form. I'd really like to see the planks in finished form. And as always, keep up the good work.

youd be suprised how ones attitude will go far and yours has surpassed above and beyond thats why im new to this channel today 6/26 june im hooked awsome work i love it

Nice video I really enjoyed it and keep up. from Africa

Sweet. Gum has less graining but nice and is like hickory wood and Australia cypress with beautiful heart ❤️ Thank you god bless you sir. Build a dry storage building on a show

Nice. Love your channel. Also, anyone who promotes other channels shows humility. Your a talented man. This comment is from a Yankee friend in Minnesota.

getting such a nice looking wood

That was a beautiful log! I was itching just watching you tear off those vines! Congratulations on the subs !

that would make a PERFECT dining room table

I love watching interesting things like this. Thank you?

Enjoying watching. Thank you for sharing. From Papua New Guinea

Sa Hoss, your right!!! That shit is beautiful! More beautiful than my old lady.

I would love to do this. Great video, I enjoyed it so much.

Nice looking wood in the middle!

Wild figuring on those boards. I envy you, to find just the right place to use the lumber, where it will show off for decades.

Great and very hard work ,congrat for you hability

love the dog at the end!

I respect your work, success to you!

great wood and a nice hound !!!

I saw someone use a pressure washer on a log before sawing it to remove rocks and dirt. That seemed a good way to preserve the sharpness of the blade. I think that pattern on that gum is beautiful!

Respect from Italy!!

Very interesting video.

Wow, what a find!

Dude, you have the best cinematography on youtube. Hollywood needs you.

Sweet gum is very pretty wood but very hard to dry without wanting to cup or warp

Great content man. Loved it!!!

great job

Boards look great! Can’t wait to see how they dry!

Wow, the wonders of nature.

What a beautiful piece of timber.

That thing is a beauty.

Man’s best friend!
