Join us as we attempt to turn used utility poles into usable lumber for an elevated hunting blind, using our LS tractor and Woodland Mills sawmill! #woodlandmills #lstractor #sawmill #utility poles
some nice timber out of them utility poles there Tony. First time watching but i am now a subscriber to you sir. Keep the videos coming and dont get too hung up on the reaching goal, it will come to you if you stick at it brother. Ill give your page a good share on my page buddy 👍
Thank you sir, appreciate the kind words! Checked out your channel and subscribed, I'm looking forward to following and learning a thing or two! Will spread the word!
I mostly saw power poles. There are a few bumps along the way but it makes beautiful lumber. We also have a channel we are trying to grow. It’s Barn to beach designs and Sawmill We have several videos of us milling power poles.
There is a learning curve, for sure. I agree, the lumber is beautiful. My wife and I both subscribed to your channel, looking forward to checking out your operation. Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
Well, mostly because I don't own a metal detector! Lol. This was the first time I've ever milled utility poles, and I didn't see the need for the expense. I only mill trees from my own property, so I'm fairly confident in having "clean", metal free logs. Thanks for the comment!
The utility corp told me these poles were yellow pine. We haven't gotten any additional poles since, as we still have some leftover from the last project.
My local electric utility keeps a list of folks who would like the old poles. Whenever they replace poles, they haul the old ones back to the yard and stockpile them. Then when they accumulate a bunch, they call folks on that list and have them come pick some up for free. My utility cuts them to size according to whatever length the customer desires, and they even load them for you. You might call around and see if your local utility does something similar.
Hi, great minds I suppose!😁 I don't think we have an actual video that covers the sawmill shed build, but we do have a montage of pics: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4swMl8NedVA.html Thanks for subscribing!!
I don't see why that wouldn't work. I've read where Western cedar isn't treated? If so, that would be another plus! Good luck, and check for metal..... thanks for watching and commenting!
