Add a extra downspout as well so the water isn’t as heavy and I would go with 6inch gutter

Just a suggestion, if you have saplings that are drying up, get some mulch around them, but use green mulch like the stuff you just ground. I used to work for a university grounds department, and we had a stand of trees that we hated mowing next to because of its relationship to a ditch and marshy area so we put about 6 inches of mulch all the way under the footprint of the trees. The trees there exploded in growth. Consistency with moisture seemed to be what really helped. We then covered a hillside that was planted with badly managed roses; not 3 months later, the hillside was so thick with growth that someone thought we replanted it with new plants. Just an observation from a former plumber here- you should set aside one day each week and take a couple hours that day to do preventative maintenance on your equipment. It won’t prevent a chipmunk nest from getting in your implements, but you can catch potentially catastrophic failures before they happen. I have a cousin that is very reactive instead of proactive with maintenance, and it has cost him a skid loader and an excavator in the last 4 years for sure.

Still more pros than cons to country living

Hard living is good living

Screws? Might as well add brackets, too. And some anti-storm measures if the roof tries to rip off and become a giant knife.

Yeah, but it seems to be a clean separation of components, so it will be mostly "just" a reassembly.

Here in north east Indiana our ash is all but gone

Damn that sux hope it didn't to much other damage and that you can get it fixed up pretty quick sorry to see that Bud 😔

How do u set your downward pressure on feed rollers? I see your screws are out alot farther than mine. I can run softwood no preblem but hardwood is giving me trouble. Thanks

7:28 for Christmas tree shears, do you use those Ryan units with the curved ? Shaped shafts? My dad was a small engine mechanic and every year, we tuned up all the tree shears for Tannenbaum tree Farm in Nodaway County Missouri. Last time I helped with that was 30 years ago however..

4:49 if you ever build a new shop, add an area drain/ trough drain either down the center of the garage, or across the garage door just inside and slope all of the floor slightly to the drain. Have the drain daylight outside and DO NOT hook it up to the drain system. You can put an expansion plug or a threaded cap, or a coffee can over the end of the pipe outside to prevent insects or animals from getting in. Just remove the cap when washing down the floor. If something toxic spills, it gives you a chance to prevent the spread or at least catch it before it goes everywhere if the end is capped; just get a container under the outflow side. Obviously it isn’t necessary, but it would make life easier, and it’s cheaper than floor coatings and should last forever.

1:34 that’s actually a really smart idea. If you get one of those e-readers, it would probably work even better. Some of them have a matte finish on the screen and can be used in full sunlight. Combine that with indexing and search features, and you’ll be set. Fantastic idea, I will have to start doing that soon with my own tools…

Cory here in Ireland the artifical christmas trees are taken over and the real ones are not shifting much i can't believe the sawmill is quiet there is a sawmill just a few mile away from me and it's non stop sawing all pine its mass production its slaughtering pine all day if you googled Murray timber here in Ireland the whole mill is just a massive convayer from floor to roof and one man sitting with tv screens all around i just hate that kind of sawmilling

Who's going to do ur engine work Bud?

Yeah Flux-Core is so much better and stronger but shouldn't u use at least Oxygen so the weld's turn out nice and help make the weld stronger and better? Doesn't it pop and carry on and leave shitty looking weld's without Some kind of Gas?

Maybe take us on some more tours of your customers' projects and builds. Really enjoyed the last one you done. You just make the videos, and we'll keep watching, lol.

How many people do you employ on the farm?

I made flooring using a multi-head milling machine. You but in a blank and it came out a piece of flooring. Hickory gave us the most trouble on the machine. We had to run it slower and had knives in cutting heads break off. It gave us all kinds of problems.

Nice Job and Channel! When you mill and dry your Hickory for flooring are you cutting full width boards, drying then sizing? Seams my hickory warps more when I size them down smaller before drying.

Chassis is looking great bud!

i feel your pain brother, if its a machine and its not broke down it soon will be!

You sound so enthusiastic about doing this. lol

Get to work.. lol

Life, Mother Nature has her ways.

I had a gentalman drop off a bunch of logs this past weekend. he just wanted two wide boards. he thought it might be poplar. Nope hickory with a very large heart wood pattern.. two more logs left and like you i have a love hate relation ship with it..

Love the content. Sounds like a great audience. In the near future I have the opportunity to acquire forest acreage. It’s ready for a select timber sale, 30 years since the last. I’ve been a woodworker for years. I recently was introduced to milling and I’m hooked. I have a compact 30hp Deere. I’m curious to hear opinions on the minimal equipment needed. I have very steep terrain. Thanks

have you sawn any american / red / slippery elm ? thats a fight as well

Cory, I hate sawing hickory what blade did you use . 4's gave me best cutting,w/ frequent blade changes. Best with me and hickory was glue ups.Cory did you get the email?

I find these series on milling packages for new home builds or renovations very interesting, thanks Cory.

Nice boards. Noticing some blade wave in them. Last time I sawed hickory it did the same thing. I played with more tension on the blade and tried to keep my belt drive tension at 14 lbs but still waved. It's hard to use the deflection guage to get the belt drive tension precise. Either that or they are getting worn. Really frustrating to have blade dive.

Nice logs... hickory in my area rarely gets that big. They seem to die by the time they get to be about a foot in dia.

Sounds like my current love hate relationship with eastern red cedar.

Man not trying to get into your business but for my own information because I’m thinking about starting to do my own siding and flooring like you do. About how many bdft can you saw dry plain and make into flooring in a week. A easy week by yourself. I was thinking maybe 2,000bdft. And I know it’s going to take weeks to dry but to get a cycle going. Example I was planning to saw on Monday 2,000 feet Stack and let it dry one month Tuesday unload and load the kiln Straight rip and plan lumber on Tuesday and Wednesday and mold it as it’s needed. I was wondering if this sounds do able. I have several businesses and such so I know stuff comes up that’s why I have Thursday Friday open for sales and break downs and time off. Not saying those days will just be for that but for the time.

Looks fine . I wouldn't stress about that .

There's always a chance of rain when it's stinking Hot

I been there done that it's definitely a very very dirty job and it really sux doing it in the heat as well

If ur going to sandblast it don't bother using that needle chipper?

Main thing is, you stopped the rusting...looks pretty good from my side of the screen. The video was all right, too!

How do we get Hill shirt?

Cory don,t beat your self up its not a show truck. It will be fine

Amazing video definitely gonna have to remember this

I love your ingenuity and ability to fabricate. Hard to believe coastal elites would look at someone with your abilities and assume they're smarter -- and they are NOT.

i have pine floors in my house more like plank boards with nails holding them down to turn out better them i thought i would have a bed and breakfast the guests are amazed by the floors and the old barn floor look has the appearance of the manure bath had change the wood stain to and brownness/gray color

I have a cabin that needs new floor and that would be perfect, you have given me some ideas cheers.

Very nice!. Have heard nothing but good about the Wood Mizer molding/planers.

Are the ends t&g also?

The old timers around here used to say "If you can't find locust, use stone"

HI, is black locust and locust the same trees or are there different types of locust? Thank you Ron USCG RET

Much easier to work when its first cut. when it dries out get hard as steel

Wish I would have listened and took a lot more of my elders advice growing up. I’d have less scars and a better back, lol.
