We “look” like we are going out of business. What are we going to do? 

Your sister has some tough skin, no gloves on and handling rough cut lumber. My hats off to all of you, what a great work ethic. Keep on milling.

It is nice to see the mountain in the backgound all green again...

It's crazy how much that mill wobbles when it returns after a cut. It's hard to believe it stays accurate.

I liked the real time part of the video. The mill is fast, and there is no wasted motion between cuts.

The Wooly Adelgid insect has destroyed so many of our Hemlocks here in Central PA. There are locations in higher elevations that still have live trees, but most trees have the insect infestations. We're in Southern Clinton County, and in our 40 acre lot, we may have 25-30 that are still alive. We'll be milling them soon so that we don't lose them too.

You guys are incredible people, there's so many good qualities you have that the world is a better place with you all in it.❤

Life can be so beautiful when everyone in the family helps together!😊👍

“it’s our job so we gotta do what we gotta do” - powerful statement most people don’t recognize. Love this channel!

Emerald, you made some very good choices. I loved seeing both sped up and real time. Great video in so many ways.

The American Chestnut blight was brought in with the introduction of the Chinese Chestnut sad that another native tree has been attacked also. Hang in there Ladies! John Toccoa GA

I remember driving from Ohio to West Virginia in the late sixties and early seventies,dad was pointing out all the elm trees wiped out by the Dutch Elm disease,the in 2003 my sister bought a beautiful Queen Ann Victorian home in Toledo Ohio ,was surrounded by the most beautiful ash trees you’ve ever seen .they started showing signs of the ash boar when I moved here in 2005 and by 2007 they were all completely dead and removed ,so sad 😞

It’s nice to see the “meat and potatoes” of sawing as well as your artistic interpretation of it. That LT70 is a few steps above my poor old LT40 from the early 1990s. I saw mostly spruce and…pine. Some of it is pretty pitchy all right.

Eme safety glasses could save your beautiful eyes from projectiles throne by the debarker. 👀😎❤

You make sawing lumber look easy! Woodmizer must love your family and this channel!!!

The side on views really shows how much larger the Lt70 is than your old mill

We had the most beautiful Hemlocks here in the north Georgia mountains until the Wooly Adelgid wiped them out. There's a group still trying to save them with a pesticide application and of course planting saplings. I haven't checked in with them in a long time to see how it's going. I wonder if PA is participating in anything similar? There's an old saying: species come, species go... sadly, it is just plain truth that nothing will last forever....cept ❤ 😊

You are so lucky that you still have a logging and native timber industry as well have had native timber logging banned here in Victoria, Australia. So now we have to IMPORT timber (except for Pine) but apart from that, it has also seriously affected our fire wood industry. I could go on and on about this but I really do appreciate the family's dedication to an honourable industry. Stay strong!! :)

In my teens I worked at a mill in the U.P. of michigan then later went into logging when I graduated in 1973 then went on to log for the next 25 years or so it is very interesting to me to see the changes in the technology of the business with the high tech improvements yet the same problems thanks for sharing.

I love hemlock for its natural rot resistance. Ironically a logger friend said he hated hemlock and couldnt even give them away. No one would buy them here. I was having talks about buying them so I could use for a log home I was planning to build and he was initially agreeing. And then a few short months later he went out of business and had to get a J.O.B working for someone else. Tough business and he lost. I hated that for him.

Part of Sleeping Bear Dunes here in Michigan was closed because of an adelgid outbreak infecting the hemlocks there.

Enjoyed the real time segment! Be Safe and as always, stay aware of youur surroundings and enjoy your time with the family.

Nice, Hemlocks are suffering a blight and people are desperate to cut it down for lumber. Future seems bright for the Hemlock in your region.

'What?! I thought the camera was on the last log, not second to last.' Puppo: 'I moved it. Because.' Spring is looking great in the background in your area. Sorry to hear about the Hemlock blight issue. It goes without saying, but I'm saying it, it's tough to have demand when you don't have product.

You are a very wonderful girl. I admire you so much. I wish I could be by your side to experience your work and have you share it. I wish you good health. I am always with you. .

Well I like the old hemlock forest I have on my 20 acre piece in northern Massachusetts. I will start thinning soon to get more light in. My deer have been moving to other properties that have been cut of. Do hemlocks make good beams for timber framing?

Hemlock is now going to get more expensive as pine is cheaper and Pine is cheaper... enjoy and Loved your approach and the cut on the second log the real time one.. Taking that base hump out then making a another shallow cut to get the edge off the full length... that was smooth move.. gave you a extra board doing that. Not as wide as 10 inch or so but clearly a board just the same about 6 inches if not more. Watching Jade move the lumber on the pile while the LT was pushing back.. Yeah her eyes were watching everything and knows when to give up back off and let the machine go. Good spatial awareness

Hows dad and the skidder in the hills?

I have a huge hemlock on the ground in upstate N.Y. after a windstorm last summer . It’s all yours.

Back in the day we used rimu to build houses. Now its Pinus radiata. It grows fast here. And it's user friendly. Logs every where.

Thanks for another entertaining video, ladies. Maybe the Hemlock shipments will pick up so you can fill all the orders. I'm gonna try my LCLY coffee in the morning, it smells fantastic. Have a great evening! TTFN

Nothing wrong with selling everything you make as long its enough to keep you busy

Is it just me or this just peaceful to watch.?

Thanks for sharing 🍸

Love the view of the hills in the background, the semis on the highway rolling by, traffic doing it's thing, the low inventory and you two working the mill. A lot going on on a beautiful day.

Thanks beautiful ladies.

Sassy hair flip!!!

That LT 70 is a log eating monster! I just got my own clunky old mill I bought used fired up and cutting today! I am so stoked.

Great Work . !

Another Great Video Thx Lumber Capitol Yard . Of course Em and Jade .

Another good video, thanks Em and Jade.

Love the thumbnail ❤ Have a wonderful day

I've noticed over time that your rages generally carry a good deal of info I'd otherwise not know. In short, I like them. Also, you being from the glorious mountains of PA I'm sure you're aware of the Chestnut Blight that devastated those trees last century. We can only pray that such a catastrophe does not play out with the Hemlock. I've noticed on the medium shot from the carrier that the cutting arm of the 70 bounces quite a bit at the end of the return. Does it affect aligning the next cut at all? Get more mugs into stock. New pup's looking gorgeous.

I'm surprised by how much that head flexes when it changes direction.

Every time we toil. It feels like the season is set to boil. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard. It gets hot as heck. There's a hen somewhere thinking, " Yeah, it's even to hot to peck." Summer, why do you do these things to me. You set me loose but you never set me free. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard. Have to put up with the lotion. Just to keep sailing in your uv ocean. But it's not all bad. No, it's not all sad. Cause when work is done. You know. It's time to have fun. It almost makes you forget. How your day can be set. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard.

I must say, I watch a lot of these videos; it is not hard to see just how big an improvement that LT70 is. The shots of the whole area are good. Shows that your yard is right next to a local road. Down in the valley is a divided highway. When we left Lycoming County in 57, there just were not a whole lot of divided highways there.

I used to frame houses in NY's Hudson Valley. Most builders ordered hem-fir which is a species of hemlock that was used for all framing members. It is less expensive than Douglas fir and almost as strong. But some builders would order spruce (SPF) which is fine for studs but would also order the much stronger southern yellow pine (SYP) for joists and rafters which BTW is harder to saw and nail.

Come to Lumber Capital Log Yard where we, not our timber, split!

❤ Rockin Roll ❤️ love what you do ❤

I love the smell of fresh cut hemlock !

Ladies, you have a beautiful landscape to look at everyday. It probably looks old hat to you, but it's great. You are so lucky in that respect.

I like your overall sawmill setup. You just keep making improvements. As fast as you are cutting that lumber, you are really making that sister of yours keep a moving. Of course, it's obvious that you are both great workers. Good luck on getting a good supply of the right logs.

Great crew good work ethics

Hello, from Hemlock Lake, Hemlock, NY 14466. i was born and raised in Hemlock! lol

Beautiful 2x4!!!

Great video!

Amazing to watch in real time for the mill.

Keep up the good work ladies, you put a lot of people to shame, N/E Scotland.

I'm one of the early subscribers. I'm so glad to see the progress. Amazing 😊. When I have kids, I want to teach them to help me in business the same way you're helping your family business

mostly douglas fir and western red cedar here in the pnw. along with alder and cottonwood.

Like the view from over the woodpile. You can see the whole operation and also how far away you are from actual cutting. Alway worried about that beautiful hair flying around during operation. Was glad to see you put hair up for the work portion of the day. Cheers.

Great video as always! 😊

Good Vid! Stay busy, the time passes faster that way!

Love the wide shot.

Ponytail looks really good.

I really enjoy the tunes you have with the video as well.

getting pretty efficient running the mill. Well done.

Wow! springtime! Beautiful emerald hills.

Well put together,you lil ladies are still the badassest out their,amen, ✌ ❤ 😊 🙏!

Mill is really nice, tell pops great job getting that one!

Hemlock adelgid, an insect that sucks sap out of needles. It can wipe out whole stands.

I will watch what ever you post!!!

Larch is even better than hemlock - if you can get it!

As always your videos are great, I love the content, and most of all…your flawless looks , even ( a little body art ) ❤❤❤❤

ive used green hemlock here in north carolina for years for building projects. cheap reliable wood. love this channel best wishes to u hard working folks

Hello. I love your channel and your content. The part when you were videoing in live time was interesting. I don’t see how you cut flat lumber. The saw head on the mill is always bouncing around. It does settle when you get into the cut. It just moves around way more than I expected.

Better be thinking about ever increasing Species Diversification from further distances, Hardwoods bring better $$

Well doncha know that a Hemlock tree looks like a Pine tree? Close enough for government work!! We just used some Hemlock here too....good stuff for sure.

Man, that LT70's a nice machine!

Emerald I noticed your tattoo and the inscription above it. It definitely fits your work ethic and the way you approach life as far as I can tell since I’ve only “ known” you guys for a few weeks. Would you care to share what inspired that tattoo and the inscription? I’ve been been binge watching y’all’s channel trying to get to know everyone. Y’all have such an awesome family. Also, I noticed in the early videos there was an older brother and another sister. Did they leave to seek their own paths? I hope I’m not coming across to personal. If so, just tell me to go find some hemlock!!

The first cuts off the log can you immediately use them as siding on a barn or shed or does it need to season or cure? Thanks !

Greetings from Bulgaria ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Buy some coffee ☕ to help This Lady out !!! 😁☕

I got plenty of mature hemlock up hear in NY, half of them r close to the road.

Big Red really makes the new mill fly.

It must be a big adjustment to move from a back of the mill setup to the front. Looks like you got the hang of it tho :)

Business is good and the supply is not. Looks like more hardwood in the future. I swear you ladies get more gorgeous every day. The mill operates very quickly maybe if you get some logs the orders can be filled and put some inventory out on display. Excellent job ladies thank you for sharing.👍♥️♥️

Thanks

I love your shirt and what it said ❤❤❤

I have watched you from the beginning and i must say that I have never seen a more beautiful video..

from my experience hemlock is not a good building material becasue when it drys it Warps and twists like crazy into a Twizzler stick

Hemlock is such a sturdy wood and holds up well in the weather. I’m building a timber frame shed on the side of my garage with open ends for my motorcycle in the summer and snowblower in the winter with racks for the eight mounted winter/ summer tires. I plan on using rough cut hemlock. A little too far for me to trailer down for such a small order. You will eventually get caught up running that bad boy mill! Tempting though😃

no doubt the new mill cranks out the boards

Amazing video as always, I wish u all the best for the Hemlock

Save the trees!

Be careful. That looks like it hurts! Great video girls, as always.

Great looking German shepherd! My favorite dog!

My LCLY ceramic mug arrived today. Looks great! 👍 Will try it out with tomorrow morning’s coffee ☕️. Ordered four bags of coffee yesterday.

Where do you guys operate your business, and how much do you guys charge, for cut logs ? Currently I am slowly filling out legal paper work, so I can try to purchase land. I have different projects I would like to do with lumber, but I do not have any lumber.

Right on!! 💪

Nice to see people happy finding them self in a business directory ,whatever the field construction ,building .'Marketing ...
