Nice one Jerry, you've answered my chicken bedding problem 😄 just put a few scraps on the mill and mill the other way and produce bedding 😄 to be honest though bud, I too have thought about a jig for shingles. Over here in the UK, shingles aren't used too much but I want to be different 😁 hope your method works as I'll adopt it too.

With the type of mill you have Jerry, the ingunuity and approach to your jobs and projects are amazing. My husband says to make a smaller mill work like an expensive mill is very hard to do. A person will have to do a lot of mental gymnastics before he starts a job in order to have great products and outcomes. He just admires your genius approach.

Compare sawdust, which is cut across the growth fibers (whether cross cut or rip), to what comes out of a hand plane, which is cut parallel with the fibers. Turning your blanks 90 degrees will solve your problem. All in all another good video. Dave

had the idea of sawing them in this direction too. Interesting to see that it creates these shaving. I think a 15 degree angle would solve it and still get you relatively nice surface finish. How was the surface by the way?

Another great and educational video. Very creative. 👍

You're right about the siding jig. Just rip a board about an inch wide to the desired height, add a piece to keep it from going too far under like you did with the shingle jig and you've got it. Now, the only thing I/we(brother and I) found was that if the cant is long and thick it is going to be heavy for one guy to handle getting the jig under and back out. Just give that some consideration if you are going to be milling solo. You've made bedding. Dry it and sell it to people with rabbits, chickens, etc. No charge for the financial consultation. 🙂 I'm surprised the blade didn't come off. My luck it would have and there go a few teeth. Have a good day.

Heck yeah that’s cool

Could a guy just do the hole can't at one time and cut the shingle out of the long stock? 🤔

Hello how are you doing its your grain from the wood turn your wood it will work for you ok take care cheers

Cross grain cuts harder then with the grain.

The downside of cutting with the grain. You won’t have the long curly chips cutting across the grain.

Hilarious comment “after” the video! Thanks for leaving it in!

Hello again Jerry,it was your power feed build that pushed me over the edge to make my own and it works great. Thanks for the inspiration.👍

Another entertaining and informative video, thanks Jerry!

Is your sawdust exit port clogged?

Love the idea to just use a square to check the square. So simple and effective.

Great video. I had this on my mind for a few days now. My plan is to lock down a 4/4 board with a 1x1 attached to the left side and and have 1x1's every 20 inches to form a pocket for the cants. Only drawback is I'll have to place a 3/8's jig under each individual block. Basically mimicking the wood mizer jig minus the $1500. When you mill with a chainsaw the chain is filed to 10 degrees if not it throws spaghetti.

I like you. Jig, good Idea!!!!

The angle of your blade in relationship to the cut would produces curly shaving. Great video, fun watch this morning.

Mornin Jer , I think you get a better finish cutting with the grain like you did. Thought you’d probably try cutting with the doors open. Those ribbon chips will burn like crazy in the morning in a conventional wood stove. Makes for quick BTUs. Have a great day !

cool
