Nathan - I really love the opening video roll-outs and remember when you showed your original sawmill and over time, it slowly grew with a lot of accessories like the wind chimes, laser cutting guide and the cut lumber push-back option. Then the diesel engine with various types of blades and blade lubricants were tried, etc. and I think I remember some shots of the operator end control screen with all of its functions, auto-calculations, semi-autonomous push the button and let the system rip while you didn't have to walk pushing the blade through the logs. With your new sawmill, I'm just waiting to see how you trick it out further, like adding an engine turbo charging system to go along with Joe Mayne's Georgia-made turbo seven saw blades or something else I never expected to see. Future state dreaming here -- What about an automated metal scanning detection system that scans the logs just prior to blade engagement with an alert on the operator screen, an auto-stop function and a voice alert saying something like "Danger, Will Robinson" or something similar. Go ahead son, surprise us with your next set of sawmill goodies! I love watching it grow. Your mill is a thing of beauty for your hardcore fans, I'll say that much. Keep the videos coming while you and yours stay safe and healthy.
My wife just brought me a coffee as I was watching you milling the red cedar . she looked at the screen and said " wow pretty pink sawdust ". Thats it for me , now its pink cedar !!
Pretty good video Nathan firstly with the Maple slabs & then the Cedar lumber for you dad. He is going to have some of the prettiest raised garden beds around. I wish I had access to some Cedar lumber, I have just built my wife 5 raised garden beds with little seats on two corners so she can 'take a break' if she feels like it. I made them out of reclaimed pallets to try & encourage her back into doing some gardening. She used to have an orchard at our previous home on a VERY LARGE suburban block but since we moved to a smaller block she has come down with Dementia & Parkinson's disease. A developer bought our previous property, knocked our old house down & built 5 new houses with individual yards. Cheers mare, Don from South Australia.
Amazing 👍👍 I am very astonished with the work of the machine like this, it won't get tired. Different to me processing wood with manual just with a chainsaw only 😆😁🙏
That cherry had history to tell when you put water on it. I just am not able to read it.---That gorgeous cedar! I have to use my imagination for the wonderful aroma it must exude when sawing it!
About Eastern Red Cedar. That is the name it goes by in my favorite reference "101 Trees Of Indiana" by Marion T. Jackson, Published Indiana University Press, 2003. Eastern Red Cedar, (Juniperus virginiana L) It is a member of the Juniper family but so are many other types of trees.
You are going to make Popa happy with those boards. Thanks for sharing with us Nathan , you hit the jackpot with that log. You all stay safe and keep having fun around there. Fred.
Yup, Eastern Red Cedar is “Juniperus Virginiana” common names are Virginian pencil cedar, juniper, eastern red cedar, red cedar, sevin, and pencil cedar. And the shavings/sawdust can be boiled to extract the essential oil.
Hi Nathan. I thank you, where you inadvertently described how much you like Farm Focus coffee, a few videos back. You wrote about the joys of blueberry hazelnut. I checked out the site, and they had regular and that flavor. [I think now this flavor is blueberry pecan] I just knew that the flavored coffee would override any food that I ate with the coffee so I ordered the regular. It is an excellent coffee! I will order more. While I do not carry around a mug all day, I like coffee with meals and coffee in coffee shops. I only weigh about 125 pounds so I *cannot* drink very much at one time. I drank some this morning. I see too that "Hamilton Farms", another country-boy site, also uses Farm Focus as well. Must be a number of people use it.
How cool! I have a giant down maple the road crew chopped down because it was a bit rotten, about 43" diameter, big hole rotten out of the middle. I still wanted to salvage what I could, been sitting outside last 2 years as a log waiting to haul off to a small saw mill. You think it's still worth cutting? I'd just like one slab, for maybe a table 😊
Juniperus virginiana, also known as eastern redcedar, is one of several "junipers" that share a common genus. It sure is a weed here in Oklahoma, formerly controlled by rangeland fires.
When are you going to have more slabs or boards for purchase? Looking for 5"-6"/4" x 4'-5' slabs or boards that are quarter sawed. I also bought 5 blades from Joe that I shipped to my friend in B.C., Canada.
I'm not a sawyer but know most of my trees when I see them . Here in the New York I think most call it cedar . I call it cedar because I can never remember juniper LOL. Most of what you see of it here in my part of the state is in yards and old cemeteries .
Just to pitch in on the cedar/juniper issue, juniper is a shrub that produces berries that are used to make gin. Red cedar is a tree with an aromatic red wood.
I think short slabs sell better because most people that want a slab table have a cabin, not a 3-million dollar house that will accommodate a 15’ table. Just my opinion.
Did you cut that big cherry log you hinted about a couple months ago before your big storm and all the rain? I have been looking forward to seeing that big cherry and don't want to miss that video.
For the name of that wood. Just looked it up, apparently everyone is right. From wikiepedia: Juniperus virginiana - eastern juniper, eastern redcedar The lack of space or a hyphen between the words "red" and "cedar" is sometimes used to indicate that this species is not a true cedar (Cedrus).
As for the length of slabs, there are not too many homes that can accommodate a 12' long dining table. So I can certainly see why the 6' and shorter slabs sell first.
who's doing the pickin?... I love that music and I'm out here in Californy... Would love to get the artist on my pandora...Juniper?? of course it's Cedar.... everyone knows that Juniper is a planet.....
Wikipedia says that Juniperus virginiana is "known as eastern redcedar, red cedar, Virginian juniper,[4] eastern juniper, red juniper," etc. So go ahead and keep on calling it cedar.
The common name is eastern red cedar and the scientific name is Juniperus virginiana . It is in the genus Juniperus. There are a number of evergreens in the genus Juniperus .
