This machine will change the way I work!! 

i highly HIGHLY recommend getting a small child's pool for Smudo and fill it with about 50mm of water. basically just enough water to submerge his paws. he will loooooooove it and he may only just stand in it for a few minutes at a time, but its an absolute necessity for the summer where your shop is. it will basically make it impossible for Smudo to overheat. just make sure the pool you get has a thick bottom so his claws don't instantly destroy it and then you have to lead him in the first time to he knows what it is. you can also spend a bit more can get a cooling pool made for dogs which will have a much thicker rubber bottom.

Smudo didn't realize he was a ranch dog until he tried it. He's a good boy.

Finally made it to a premier, so much has happened! relocation / got married / have a baby / now a saw mill! Congrats all round, so happy for ya!

There is good reason your sponsors and other companies are happy and eager to work with you. Your innate joy is infectious, your love of your work is also, and don’t get me started on your Skills! You deserve all wonderful things happening in your life. I am very grateful you listened to your mind and body and took a break, and what a beautiful example you are for choosing nurturing, fun, and creative work for your team and yourself. Thank you.

Two Smudo videos in a row... you are really spoiling us. :) And BIG congratulations!!! You and your wife are going to be fantastic mums and Smudo the best uncle.

Congrats on becoming a mama, Laura! All the best and a happy life for everyone in your family!

The Logosol experience was totally captivating, and such an amazing treat for all of you. I love watching House Lise Lotte, but the new chapter of your life that you and your family are so kind and generous to share with us is so exciting! Balance is so important to your recovery, and you are definitely healing in California❤

I could never justify a full bandsaw mill, but that chainsaw mill is amazing!

Seeing you sit there with the cactus just makes me smile. No clue why.

WOW! that was incredible! Snudo looked so proud sitting on top of his dog house LOL! AND then the finale, a sawmill!!! I can't wait to see what you create with this!!

Thank you Logosol for gifting the team with this Amazing piece of equipment 👊 👏 . Have fun everyone!

I am very pleased that you took steps to get out of a low point to do something joyful while learning new skills. So happy for you Laura. I look forward to the next video. Hugs from 🇨🇦

Im sure everyone had a great time but I do have to point out how funny it is that you were like "hmm my employees must be really stressed out from 2 years of building my house. I'll treat them to a fun retreat where we will build me a different house" :P

The new series: Laura builds a log cabin for her and the family, including a tiny nursery for the new baby. And a new dog house for Smudo.

Such a noble dog.

the cutting everything with shrinkage in mind is SO CLEVER and with a saw mill of your own I can't wait to see what you use these new techniques you're picking up for! Also congratulations on the baby, marriage, relocation and AND the progress you've made with the house! I know you're burnt out but that doesn't discount the MASSIVE amount of work you and your team have done to it and the results you've managed to achieve!

I love the Baden-Württemberg sign. My first German teacher was from there and I still have a sticker with that phrase on it! Wir können alles, natürlich!

Congratulations on the birth of the baby.

So many life changes for everyone! congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your baby. I hope Smudo is adjusting well to being a California dog, and to being a big brother to two lucky littles!

Thank you Laura. watching your joy of life return is making me tear up. Congratulations on your new baby/ marriage and looking forward to seeing what you accomplish with your new sawmill 😂

Loved it ! Smudo seemed so pleased you all would fly to America to build her a genuine log cabin.Welcome and true hugs to you all(even though I know you have been here many times before, this makes you.... Honorary !)

First the house in Germany is BEAUTIFUL and has been an incredible learning exepirience. Second Logosol!!!!!!!!!

Wowza! Free precision German sawmill!! Gonna be some great lumber coming out of THAT little baby.

Such a heartwarming vid! Love all the smiles and relaxing smudo!

Just like cutting bread - love that machine

Omg this is the coolest thing that they got you a sawmill🤩 you saying this how excited you are for it is immense I look forward to your vids here!😅🙏

Really happy for you Laura, hope your recovery from burnout is going well

Its so wonderful seeing you happy again

Oh my those tools are beautiful, they look like an absolute pleasure to use. I miss the workshop I used to have access to even more now.

Purely here for Smudo content now 😂 😉🐶

Very exciting stuff happening for you! I love to see the things that excite you and inspire new creations! Hope to see more team building projects in the future. Can't wait to see what you do with that cool sawmill. 👍

Now that is some great team building. You can see how much fun everybody had, including Smudo. Hope you and the family are doing well in sunny California! Thanks for sharing!

With the three-headed-plainer I can already see it being used to make beatiful floors for the house. Oh man... :)

So… are we going to see all kinds of log cabin buildings near your shop? Maybe some AirBnB tiny houses? Maybe a “Come build with me”?

There is something really special of making a log turn into beautiful material ready to build out your dreams. Lovely video as always!

3:56 seeing the tension released from that huge trunk as it’s cut is awe inspiring and terrifying in equal measure

And now I want to see a collab between Laura and the girls at Lumber Capital Logyard!

Amazing. Look at that wood tension on that thing as it cut through it. Amazing device. So precise!

Your respect for and joy with your team is one of the aspects that draws us in to spending time with you. How fun to have had a Logosol field trip! Totally not surprised you were captured by the utility of portable mills, both bandsaw and chainsaw. It is so gratifying to put logs to use, especially when you can find local sources of free timber. I’ve acquired cherry logs and built furniture from them. (proper drying of planks was required for fine furniture…a little different than rough projects. Of course Logosol made joining-technique allowances owing to wood drying/shrinking dynamics.)🎉 Congrats on your new mill in California!

Glad you found your joy again!

You will enjoy having the sawmill. Opens up so many more opportunities. I have even used mine to cut joinery for furniture. Next you will want a solar kiln for drying hardwood. It should work amazing in SoCal.

What a great addition to your workshop!! So cool you made a log cabin dog house 🎉

This Logosol experience showed so simple how to turn a bare tree into solid work material. Alwine that was so mindblown for me! So nice and Crazy how you Need a handfull machines to build a cabin out of a tree 🤯

Smudo is one lucky puppy! How did our ancestors cut and shape wood for centuries without power tools?

That has got to be one of the coolest, craziest tool ever. Do we have to fear for California's redwood forests now that you have a portable sawmill? Love it!

Ooh! Looks like a new mill shed build is coming, can’t leave that great mill in the weather. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing.

So happy for you, I simply can't wait until you show us your new projects.

I need a saw mill in my life ! Super thin cuts amazing! Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours Laura ❤

Wha-hoo! So glad you're really in the groove and happy again! Congrats on the addition to your family!

Ahh, Snoopied right on top of the dog house. A truly good pup :)

I love the idea of fun being more work with bigger tools it's a place I want to be in life😅

I'm envious. LOL! You're on track for a new direction . You've also got a great location for a solar mill. Good luck on this chapter of life's big book! Stay committed to new responsibilities and old ones. Smodo is the king of the hill ! LOL!

What a great story! I hope you get a chance to build another log cabin building.

Schmuuuudoooo! Boa that's so fun that you got to use those awesome machines and even got sent one. Super. Have fun with the tape mates and new family. I'm looking forward to seeing your new projects when you're ready

It's good to see you enjoying life again. Look after yourself.

Awwww the dog house is wonderful!! The thick logs will help with the heat. So happy to see your smile again. And congratulations on your new sawmill!!❤️🤗🐝

Congratulations to you and your wife for the baby!

You obviously had something wrong. From here it could have been anything, but I am soooo happy that you got some energy back. As a human being, you are a great person to follow, I am happy for you and your family.... Keep having fun and remember to take some kind of break with your wife,kid, Simone... Whoever. Take care!

Whenever I get overwhelmed renovating my cottage I go buy something expensive. 😁

Well this was a different area to explore, for you. Yes everyone did look happy. Nice dog house!

My 6 year old just came up to me, asking "Warum redet Laura über mich". He neither speaks nor understands English yet, but you mentioning Justus made him so very happy!

Brilliant, sometimes friendship is the best therapy. ❤

Laura, First things first; use the sawmill to mill the lumber you need to build the lean-to that you are going to want to have over the sawmill 😎.

So awesome! Welcome to the Left Coast, Best Coast. What a terrific episode. Congrats on the sawmill. I'll bet you'll be putting it to good use. And hooray for the new baby! So many exciting changes in your life. I wish you continued success.

I like that saw, but those chainsaws are cool as well!

I'm just enjoying watching your excitement!

This is wonderful!! All those smiles! Are you going to make a log cabin for your daughter and a separate one for Smudo? Congratulations on your newest family member!!!

This is the excited Laura we love!

Fun video! Nice to see you smiling 😜

Couldn't be happier for you Laura. Much love from Edmonton, Alberta.❤

Wow! Now you can make a California dog house. I can’t hide my jealousy of your little sawmill.

Great video! Such a neat dog house! Good for you Laura! 🇨🇦

Holy crap! That’s amazing! So happy for ya.

Thanks for working on the house, it gave me inspiration and the confidence to work on my house restoring it.

What a lovely episode! Bless x

A great video. Please remember when you and Smudo are outside, of the large number of venomous snakes in the California desert. They blend in with the surroundings and are very dangerous!

this is so exciting love it

Good to see ya smile is back, 😊 that wood looked amazing, I can just about smell it , lucky smoodo

Ach, Laura! Thank you for charing how you deal with difficult stuff. The way you lead a team is inspiring and the last video where you showed how much you care for your dog companion really teared me up. What about building a nice log sun roof? It will look like a Swedish vindskydd but protect you from heat rather than cold 😁

A sawmill to California, wow!! Awesome deal, congratulations!!

Laura's got her mojo back! I have continental whiplash.

I love your creativity! In another life I would love to do the things you do

Congratulations on your sawmill Laura! Been watching your channel for a while. It's always inspirational. Helps keep me motivated to keep going on my own thing.

Love the sawmill. ❤

So happy to see you branching out into these kind of... Small... Dwellings

OMG Laura! My best wishes!

Fabulous just fabulous❤

So impressed! What a great job! :)

Great video. A mill! Wow. Lumberjack next! Mahalo for sharing! : )

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun , just the break y'all needed from the house building stress Congratulations on everything new in your life. If you really want to sweat come to Texas !😊

What a great experience you all had. Thanks for sharing.

If it makes you feel better, I was always taught that motors really just need a big jerk to get started. No wonder you have trouble. :) glad to see such a fun video!!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch an euch alle vier! Genießt die erste Zeit mit Lou.

What a fun video! ❤

Congratulations

Much love from Scotland, great to see you re-energised :)

Nice! Glad you had a fun trip me with the crew. So valuable. I feel a colab with Mitchygoss or Out of the Woods coming on for leveling up your milling skills!

I now have the need of two years of Smudo's house related videos❤ 😅

Congrats Laura!

I can definitely see you finding a way to reuse reclaimed logs or urban harvested pieces that are otherwise 'junk'
