Great video, I’m from Maine, but moved to Littleton, 7:46 North Carolina last year. I bought a house with a 1800 sq ft. Wood workshop and just retired and will be getting into woodworking. I get green wood and slabs from my from my neighbor at below market value but need a kiln. I will be building a solar kiln but also had the idea, I guess not unique haha, to build one from a container like you have. It’s good to know I can checkout Nyle up home and will. Not sure how far you are from Littleton, NC but would love to see your set up one day.
Nyle is the best. I've designed 8 different kilns, all custom designs, but always used Nyle equipment. Great products and as you said, great customer service! I'd love to see some details on your cart design and loading rails.
How much did this unit cost, as in total after all the parts and nitty gritty is added in? Also how much are you spending per month on electricity and other costs running the kiln?
Appreciate the video, ive had an l200 for about a year, looking for a shipping container currently (or atleast the funds to get it set up.) I have a norwood hd38 hydraulic and also have a norwood hd36 manual im trying to sell to fund it. If you wouldnt mind, about how much did the chamber set up run? Im pretty much planning the exact same build.
Very interested in seeing the step by step kiln build. I have a WM LT 35 that supplies local lumber in northcentral PA. Looking to do kiln dry some of our product. Looking for simple designs, not high production. Thanks
We used 3/8 threaded rod cut to length through bolted through the ceiling. On the outside we siliconed the holes and made 3x3 metal plates where the threaded rods came through. Hope this helps if you any more questions let us know thanks for the comment
Great video and appreciate the tour. I just wanted to also comment on the video jumping. Is it to cut out blips or dead space? Very distracting but good job otherwise.
@@firewaterfarmsawmill so I’m over in south Alabama below andulsia, I’m thinking of buying a woodmizer lt40, I see a few people around advertising for rough cut lumber but none of them have a kiln, If I built a kiln and advertise good can you make any money at it ? I ran one for a guy years ago and worked in a sawmill most of my life !
You can definitely make money. If your willing to put forth the work you will be successful. Kiln drying just provides you with the ability to sell dried stable wood and that’s what people need to do quality wood working jobs.
I drive FedEx Express heavyweight, just a tip for damaged deliveries. You don't have to decline a shipment if you see damage. Point out the damage to the driver. It can be marked wet, torn, crushed or other. Once you mark it damaged you can file a claim, which is very easy. Theres a permanent record that it was received damaged that you can always reference. Also don't be an asshole to the driver, shipping things hundreds or thousands if miles is hard, the drivers don't have anything to do with the damage, we just drive the truck. Shipments aren't picked up at a location and driven directly to the destination unless you use FedEx custom critical (you don't want to know how much that costs). Packages are picked up, trucked, docked, and cross docked multiple times. Multiple forklifts and package handlers in multiple facilities. Things happen, they do their best, but the sheer volume makes it odds that something is going to get bumped along the line somewhere. If a shipment is damaged, we take care of it.
Thanks Shawn for watching. I know y’all have a tough job out there in the road and it things are not getting easier for drivers. We have had a tough time on certain things being delivered that just looked terrible and sometimes things just happen. It’s amazing to me that in this delivery things can make it from as far away as this particular package came from and not be beat up no worse than they were. Thanks for watching and the comment and all the hard work y’all do getting things from point A to point B. Most of all be safe out there on the road.
