My Biggest Supporter Lends a Hand at the Sawmill 

Dad you raised a good boy into a great man! bless you, wish I could be there to shake your hand. Sandy take care of your Dad!

Always nice to have dad helping out! Definitely more man glitter on those days, never mind the memories. Cheers Sandy to father and son! ☕️☕️

As others have said, cherish every single hour that you can work alongside your Dad. I worked with mine from the time I was old enough to hand him a 1/2” open end wrench until he passed away 13 years ago. You are a very fortunate man. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Your dad is Awesome, Sandy! And as always, so are you, buddy!!

Howdy Sandy- so good to see your Dad out there helping you. Cherish your time with him and enjoy it. I think my Dad would be thrilled to know l have a Woodland sawmill. I think about him a lot when I’m out there sawing. God’s blessings to y’all

Great intro thanks for the trail ride!! Wonderful when we get to see you work with your Dad 😊 Derek and Michella

Great video Sandy it's always better when dad is there. Enjoy the times that you share with him. Mine passed a few months ago but I will cherish the fond memories the rest of my days. Cheers to Everyone!!! 🙂

Great to have a Dad to help Cherish it

Really enjoyed this video Sandy! It was great stopping by to see your dad and yourself working away out in the redpine forest! I always enjoy my visit to the channel! Thanks so much for all your great content! Cheers and take care! Andrew from NB :)

Great to see your dad helping out

Hooray for good dad's!!

Good morning Sandy I told you to put speed limit sign on those trail you sure were cruising on them lol nice speed up on the video great to see you with your dad I did work with mine many years when he was alive it has been quite a while since that but it is still fresh in my memory so enjoy yourself with him when your able to time flies by really quickly have a great day

Great video, Really like the opening fast camera footage down the trails of your property

Great videoing too! Obviously, not just benefitting from your dad's help, you had a 3rd person on the camera. I always enjoy following along on your growing endeavours. (re the "our-" sp)

Hi Sandy, I watch all your videos since the beginning, your channel is a reference for many people who, like me, have an HM130MAX, a WG24 Stump Grinder and a Kioti tractor. On the other hand, this video is too wide angle, I prefer the other lenses or cameras that you used before. But BRAVO for all this good work.

So that was your Pop, working with you? Next time, introduce him to us. Sandy, if I never give you another piece of advice, it'll be this one: CHERISH every moment you have, every moment you spend with 'the ole man,' doing "Guy stuff" and enjoying one another's company. One day, he will be but a memory, and all you'll have left are the memories. I cherish the time my Pop and I had together, doing whatever, but mostly fishing. Take care, brother...............

👍great video

I love those portable garages. Every time I lose one to a tree or snow load I'm forced to replace it with another building . All lumber comes from my HM130. Waiting for a good sale so I can buy another one. I've already got the spot ready under a heavy leaning red maple. Trick is to never store anything valuable in them. My wife will never catch on

I thought for a second there I was watching the Jetson’s

Is that a 360 camera you're using now? It works very well.

Highschool kids graduated by now .. just guessing as don't know how many months kids go to school in canada. What I am getting at is some youngsters that will trade time for boards for their parents maybe and help is good as you have more of a hand with the trim wood being used up. Farm labor here doesn't require high insurances and so more leeway for lower labor costs. Just a thought Sandy

That great you working with your father. Reminds me of all the years cutting firewood with mine.We worked so long together we never had to say a word. A well oiled machine. Miss ya Pops.

I thought maybe Josh Malcolm was gonna show lol

Did you get a new camera?? Some neat angles and shots, but seems to need a little more light!? Doubling and tripling up those smaller logs seems to be working out pretty well! I definitely will be trying more of that with the smaller Ash logs that I have to deal with!

i leave spider 🕷️ 🕸️ alone as they are fantastic bug catcher especially flying ones even have couple in my home lol they come out to visit every once in awhile Lol almost pets

Is that a new camera you were using that follows you,or just really good editing?

The slab scraps need to slide directly back and into the rack. Put it in line. Wasted motion having to turn each piece. Worse when your Dad doesn't want to walk that far and just throws it on the ground, causing double handling and bending. One time isn't bad but over a week, all this adds up to wasted time and effort. It's really not that hard for you to pick up the scrap holder, turn it 90 degrees so it is inline/parallel with your mill. Try it, guarantee it will save you time and effort.

Just curious what lengths are you cutting to and why?

It kills me to see you have to handle the waste slabs. If there were a carriage attached to the outside of the moving part of the mill that could catch the slabs and ride back as the mill returns back, where it could be dumped off, that would reduce the work a little. As Woodland if they thought of this yet.

I've seen bigger. 😎

Always nice to have help. If I lived closer and was younger, I would love to help in any way I could.😊

It is always good to see your Father spending time with you.

Like seeing pops out working. Dad and I cut may many trees into firewood back in the day. He had a stroke in 2019, no more cutting anything but lunch with him now. Good video, enjoy your dad while ya can.

Sandy is turning into quite the cinematographer with his 180 degree shots ! And it's great to see his dad.

Always good to have help. Good vid. Thanks.

had a chuckle at the beginning of the video watching you speed the trails giving that blurry look. Reminded me of a Quebec commercial showing what happens to your vision after 2-3 glasses of beer....lol. Savor every moments you get to spend with your dad as they are very precious

a person can always use good help

Thanks Sandy for another video .

MM77 Approved 👍🏻 👍🏻………………………………………….Those are some pretty cool camera angles! Good to see your dad too.

hey Nice video - like the 360 camera - didn't think you moved it, right? Newbie question - how many logs do you get through before you have to change/sharpen the blade?

Sandy just curious do the boring insect continue to eat the wood after it is sawn or just till the Bark is off. If it's till the Bark is off could you not just get the slabs off and stock pile the cants till you need them and at thst point just resaw them?

your dad looked like he enjoyed himself ! great stuff

Arachnophobia!

Good to get some help once in a while. Look like ur Dad was having a good time with the logs.. It is raining here too..

Great video Sandy! Looks like you found some new editing tricks or camera? I like it! Always good times hanging with family. I still live in my hometown and run into my family members on a weekly basis. Did you grow up were you live now? Hope you're having a fantastic week Sandy! 👍👏🌲🌈

Hello Sandy. When I read the title, I was sure who the "Biggest Supporter was. I saw how your dad took the slabs and tossed them to the side and later, he bent over to pick them up and put them in the rack. What if the slabs came off of the saw and straight back into the rack, would that save a little time and a lot of back aches? Have good days!
