The #1 MISTAKE Every Sawmill Owner Makes - Wood-Mizer LT-40 

Hey! Thanks for the shoutout to my dad, Richard, with Smoky Mountain Outpost! We are so thankful he has been an inspiration to you. It warmed my heart to hear your shout out. Maybe someday you and dad can meet up. -Jennifer

Chuck, thanks for the shout-out welcome to the club .❤

I'm not a saw miller, but I am a woodworker. Here is my thoughts on crooked logs. Cut the log into the straightest pieces you can and still be able to lock it down on the mill. Then saw up the short pieces into whatever you want. You are not sawing framing lumber or siding. Cabinet grade hardwoods don't need to be 8', 6', or even 4'. When making stuff in the wood shop, it all gets cut into short pieces anyway. I have watched so many videos where people throw away good crooked logs or they try to saw a 8' cant out of a crooked log and waste more useable hardwood than what they ended up saving and sawing. That's my take on the subject. Oh, and you can lay a banana log on its side and cut it into live edge 4/4 slabs and then trim the sapwood off later. Then you see where your heartwood is and can trim accordingly. If I wasn't already 73 yrs old, I would be getting a mill of my own.

Enhancing your skills along with being so organized and managing brings great results.

Great video honesty and kindness goes a long way 🙏🙏👍

We learn from trial and error! 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻

Once zagain, I enjoyed myself watching you today. Life is fun when we add a little variety. God bless you and Saundra.

Hey chuck like watching the channel we're still waiting on a hanging weight on those 2 girls that went on there last ride keep up the good work

You have an AWESOME Channel 😮

Those ugly logs I think are called practice logs 😂. Nice job, any practice is good practice. Learning as you go, I think, is the best way to learn.

Your saw can cut several of those 1x2s at once

Richard is down in Newport, he has been over a few times

Outdoors with The Morgans has a woodmizer and cuts A LOT of wood.

❤👍

Nooice! 😎 STOC
