And to think those beautiful slabs might have been firewood. They are simply gorgeous. Would make an incredible table top especially if you "butterfly" them. ❤❤
I have built furniture with oak and I like the fact that oak will take stain. I started using lime on it sixty years ago. Just a great wood to use. Best wishes and blessings.
Just stormed here with some heavy rain. The 2nd log had some beautiful wood that would make excellent mantles or cut right and joined make tables. Have great weekend.
I like red oak too and recently cut some for decking on a 16ft lowboy as well as pinoak for 16 ft lowboy and hickory of all things for a 20 ft gooseneck,stay cool and safe guys
Looks like the barn is build is going great. It's hard to tell in the video, but it looks like it's close to being under that power line. The code here is twenty feet away, I think.
Yep it's obvious you got a beard trim. Looks great. I've been wearing a beard for almost 50 years. When my youngest son was 8 years old I shaved it off for one day. He said "I don't like it grow it back" He had never seen me without it for the first 8 years of his life.
Thank you sir for another awesome and wonderful video I really enjoyed it and sorry for all the nails but a chance you gotta take right??? Life wasn’t meant to be easy and happy go lucky great job on the barn so far your very smart and intelligent guy as a matter of fact you both are proud of you both take care god bless ❤❤❤❤
It would be interesting sometime if you did a video on the maintenance on the sawmill…like sharpening or replacing the blade, any cleaning and greasing that it needs…maybe how it works in general…..staying out in the weather all the time, does the machine tend to deteriorate any?
You should charge the customer extra for damage to your saw blades everytime this occurs. .....Man you would think the customer would be more forth coming or do his bit to warn you of this problem ....Anyway's great channel I just subscribed ..... 👍👍😊
p.s. woodworkers, especially woodturners, pay extra to get their hand of crotch logs. They have excellent figure and make great bowls and such. Since your log as are short already you should check with local wood stores, not lumber yards, and see if they wanted to buy them and all it requires is a chainsaw.
Real nice looking wood! Is it normal for the logs to move while you're sawing? I saw 3 times when the logs shifted slightly. Dogs not in, or grain tension?
I watched another "saw-miller" video (females) and they had/used a Wan Metal Detector. Before sawing, before loading the log to the Mill, they would scan the log on the fork-lifts of their tractor. You might want to save yourself a lot of money by spending or getting a sponsor for one of these devises. Yes, they found metal debris and that particular log was promptly returned to the bad log section of their lumber yard.
It's a shame that two of your three walnut logs had nails. That is such a pretty wood. I love it for knife handles, especially if I can get a crotch cut. The only logs I have cut so far on my mill was from a tree in my yard, BUT I watched the tree grow and knew there was no nails in it. Great video as usual!
I figure walnut trees are growing at old home places across the south! Especially where I live in East Texas 1/2 way between Texarkana and the gulf, 15 miles from the La. line, knee deep in Texas. So I by 4’s make ladders to a treehouse and grandma don’t mind what you do as long as y’all don’t get hurt. Love y’all’s content. What about the wood boat?
Nice video guys yes it is hot here in Florida also. Tyler I know they are expensive but if you plane to cut many more of those logs with possibility of nail in them you should look for a carbide blade they cut through nail and keep going . Tyler this is not to criticize but you are a very good sawer for lumber but for artistic wood you still use your eyes for cutting board sometime for artistic you got to turn your log to where it look the weirdest to achieve to must artistic of it but you still doing good it does take practice to see the artistic of a log and to go get that. We'll you guys have a great day enjoy your weekend with some fishing
One sukggestion that I hope you follow... electric bike needs to be kept away from any escape route should battery explode and cause a fire... on second thought a smoke and fire detector in garage addition and house would be a GREAT IDEA.
So how many more blades are you going to eat before a metal detector would have been cheaper? I finally broke down and bought one. It got so bad that i refused to cut yard trees. I was buying all of my logs from the USFS small sale program. Then i got into a sale that had been on a boundry fence. I ended up turning the entire 10 log truck loads into firewood there were so many staples.
G'day from Down Under. TEMU have some metal detectors at reasonable prices. I wouldn't take one of them prospecting with me but I reckon they would have "pinged" those four lumps of metal in that walnut log without too much bother. My wife and I love the videos.
That Colin guy seems like a troublemaker to me. We may just let Brad make some cookies out of that last one. I appreciate you putting up with my piles of messy wood, friend.
Did you just "Borrow" your wife's lime green sawmill cap ? ! ? I know yours is looking pretty salty, but really? And as hot as it was, you're wearing a long sleeve shirt? Just picking you. LOL!
So, what’s the deal, your wife is wearing short-shorts and a tee shirt. You, on the other hand, are wearing heavy pants and a long sleeve shirt, buttoned at the wrist and you appear to be sweating through your armpit shields. Are you starting to have an allergic reaction to wood dust? If you are, it’s no joke, it can get as bad as a peanut allergy and without an epinephrine shot on hand your throat could swell shut and you be dead before an emergency team can get to you. It may be nothing, but it sure is apparent that you aren’t dressed “normal” for a hot August day even up north.
