I enjoy watching so much about all old man can do . Thanks for taking me along god bless
It is good to see someone making full size timbers. When I was a lad common building timber was genuine 2” sawn with openings framed in 2 1/2”. now you’d have to talk to a sawmill to buy timber for repairs on our (UK) housing stock older than 60’s built, and that only happens in listed (special ) buildings.
Good video. There is something about watching work being done to create something valuable from a raw resource that gives me pleasure, wish it were me doing it. God Bless.
Before 1948, there was no uniform standards for lumber manufacture. Prior to 1948, lumber was cut to whatever dimension the sawyer wanted to make. The 2x4 designation is based on the green nominal size. When used rough, a 2x4 will be larger than the planed or finished size. With uniform standards, you can be assured that a finished 2x4 today will be consistent with 2x4’s produced by different manufacturers at 1.5”x3.5”.
As a design student from HK back in the early 80's I was given an assignment to build a project with 2x4s. So I went to the lumbar yard for the first time ever after just landing in Columbus 1 week prior. I went around with my tape measure and everything was smaller than 2x4!! My first North American lesson. I can laugh about it now.
Good morning buddy!! It’s so awesome to be able to make what ya need from what ya have! Lumber prices are crazy right now so your saving money, and getting what ya need soo cool!!! God bless you and yours.
Very nice video! My dad and I just ordered a LT40HDS Wide! So exited to start making videos milling! Thank you so much for teaching me all these techniques and tips!
You are having a lot of fun. That mill is just what's needed when you require timber of a certain size. Amazing how much smaller the modern 2 X 4 compared to the old sizes. They can get more out of a log with these new sizes. Good for you just what you need, worth its weight in gold.
Young man that was some good cuts of lumber! You can use what you need and sell the extra or just keep it all and have plenty for yourself..lol Either way you shouldn’t have to go to the lumber yard anymore. Thanks for sharing your videos and God bless!
Wow!!! Great camera angles .I was really wondering at some shots where u have placed ur camera. So fun. I love watching sawing logs to boards. Really njoyed the video👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥

All my life I’ve wanted to run my own saw mill. Your videos are the closest I have got to bringing my dream to life. Thank you.

Great looking wood. Nice to see some actual 2x4 lumber. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

Good show!!! Those are some really great camera shots and angles!!! Love your videos.
Nice camera angles. Great equipment and a rewarding day's work.
Another well done video, Wes. Enjoying watching these. Still gotta go back and watch the stuck tractor vid.
Good sawing. Good video production. Good editing. You are becoming an expert in all three.
Whoop whoop, a Fall Line Ridge 💃💃
That was the exact reason I bought my mill. I had an old home with real 2x4 and it needed remodeling. Who knew it would become so much more.
Love those close up shots cutting the Lumber.

the old 4x2 inches is now dressed to 90x45 mm, but it is like a first-grade timber with true squares edges and elegant smoothness
