Why Didn't I Quit Sawing??

- Welcome to Hobby Hardwood Alabama - a real, professional sawmill lumber production business, ranked by a national website as producing the highest quality wood in Alabama, of about 45 different species. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. This video is another example of sawmilling for our business, Hobby Hardwood, Alabama. We show how we mill logs, dry them and other things on our outdoor farm. We use our amazing fleet of hardware and tools, such as our custom New Holland Tractor, Wood-Mizer LT-70 sawmill, as well as our Cantek planers, Baker edgers, and SLR machines in action, operation, milling and while sawing logs to lumber. The Woodmizer LT Super 70 sawmill is the the biggest, fasted and most automatic bandsaw mill Woodmizer makes, with joystick control and Diesel engine. Very few sawmills are this fast, including Baker, Morgan, Harbor Freight, Cooks, Northern, Timber King, Norwood, Woodland, chainsaw mill, and Hudson. It’s not an Amish Sawmill, but the fastest and most modern band mill Wood-Mizer makes and produces the best lumber wood for wood working projects and our lumber business. We also showcase our Nyle Kilns and air drying lumber techniques. Lots of tips and tricks to make sawing and drying easier for beginners and professional woodworkers to keep our sawmill turning trees and logs into gold instead of firewood. My buddy, Nathan Elliot, of Out of the Woods Sawmill, OTW, convinced me I needed to start filming our operation, so here goes. Someday I want to have as many followers as other sawmill videos on UA-cam, like Nathan and Outdoors With the Morgans. We show how to make money with your sawmill and pass on our how-to tips and tricks for better sawmilling. Watch us use our sawmill, chainsaw mill, band saw, and bandsaw, compact track loader and other Kubota and New Holland excavators.

Nice and peaceful. I like it.
Yes, thank you
You r the most experienced sawyer on u tube
Thanks!
very nice boards
Glad you like them!
Ah, nothing like an early morning with a fresh coffee and a new HHA sawmilling video!!! 🙂
Thanks! Don't forget a Jimmy Dean biscuit, too!
That is some absolutely beautiful piece of wood. Wood is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Those are nice cherry boards !!
Thank you!
Just simply some darn beautiful wood my friend !
Thanks!
Your narrative is always enjoyable but your work speaks for itself,
narrative or not!
Thanks. I’m no cameraman, and it shows. But I do have the best lumber in the state and I hope that shows, also.
Keep it going.....that's good stuff!!
Thanks! Will do!
Good video Robert. I love the smell of Cherry.
Thanks!
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama FYI I have a GoPro 11 that used to overheat (10s also have this problem; it's a common occurrence) and I bought an aluminum cage for it. It hasn't overheated since
Really enjoy all your videos. I learn something new almost every one. I have a mill, not nearly so automated but cut mostly for my own use. I too cut mostly the higher value woods so your videos are very appropriate. I would like to visit your operation some day, have many more questions. Do you have time for visitors with questions?
We are open Fridays and Saturdays for retail sales, buy a few boards and I’ll answer questions.
good job as always really nice cherry looks like a lot of camera's are over heating and cutting off. take care be safe and well
Thanks 👍. Nothing more aggravating than wasting time setting up camera then getting through the sawing process only to find they had shut off randomly due to heat. Oh well.
Great Video. Have you ever considered using as an alignment a green line laser module ?
Sure, but I can't find one that fits my mill like the OEM laser, works correctly or reliably, or isn't overpriced.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama , The most common module that is being used in sawmill is the Apinexcom AGLL2.
Two questions: In the past you have put anchor seal on your logs, do you still use it on you lumber after you cut and sticker? When you change the orientation of the Cant how do you reset your blade height without skimming off the top of the next board?
I only use it once, either on the logs or on the lumber immediately after they are cut. Good question, I should cover that topic. Basically I have long ago memorized the heights of all the cuts from the top of the cant to the bed plus the blade thickness. For example, a 4/4 board is cut 1 1/8" thick, the next highest board is 1/8" for blade plus 1 1/8" and so on. So if I have a cant that is twop bards thick, then the height should be 2 3/8" above the bed. If all the cuts on the cant fit that pattern, the lowest abroad, the "dog board" will always be the correct thickness. They are always the same heights. Woodmizer makes it easy, they have Pattern mode where I can set the height of the mill so many boards above the bed and it will add all the blades kerfs in automatically. But its the same thing, all the drops will have the same starting numbers.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama Thanks that is helpful, I have a manual mill and a TK1600 without set works so trying to figure that out without remeasuring everything is a PIA, but I am making it work just not nearly as fast.
What kind of check do you use to keep the diesel from dripping when lube mizer isn't on in return pass. The one on my lube mizer keep giving me a fit
The drips are coming from what’s in the hose I think. I also sometimes replace the Buna N orings with Viton, which is pretty immune to diesel.
Just wondering if you had any concerns about the pith? Great splicing to make it shorter but I also would like to an uncut version. Keep up the great work!
Yes, the pith is always a concern and I brought the cant down as far as I could to meet my narrowest sellable board dimension as per NHLA FAS grade rules. At that point, I will saw down through the whole narrow remaining cant and generally discard the pith boards simply because it's faster to saw them and eject them as part of the mechanical process than it is to stop the mill and hand remove the central unusable cant. Pith boards are unusable, and go into the fire pit. Good observation!
Good video. Have you ever considered an LT70 with a 57 hp electric motor? Or perhaps a Bakers Products Dominator 50 hp electric? Not sure if you can run a 3 phase service into your property, or what the electricity prices are in AL. There is also the option of a large PV solar system. If so, you could also power your big planer without having to use that old diesel generator. And, a lot less maintenance on going electric. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
I think anyone would benefit from an electric motor. Torque curve is dead flat. I'm gonna bet he wouldn't own that big diesel generator if 3 ph power was close. Life in rural areas are worth the inconveniences to most.
Yes I tried to get my county to run 3 phase, years ago and they said sure, but I had to cost share with them and my portion started at $1,200,000 so I told them I'd pass.....I love the Baker equipment, but there is a very specific reason I bought a diesel LT70 Super, it's because it one of the only mills that generate hydraulic power from the engine itself, like a tractor or excavator has a motor driven hydraulic pump, and in the case of the LT70, the engine driven pump produces 6 times faster hydraulic movements on the log turner, clamps, etc than the electric version. Not only that, but on the electric version, the band is always turning and that really shortens the band life. So I went with a diesel super 70 with engine driven hydraulic pump. The Bake dominators are fine machines, but when I was looking at buying, their setworks was 19th century, and not conducive to my style of sawing. They have since upgraded their setworks, but I have not run them since the upgrade.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama Ok, that makes sense. If electric does ever start to appeal to you, let me know, and maybe we could work up some numbers. Oh, and as for the eye candy, how about outfitting Chip in some Spandex ??
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the woodmizer lt 70, do you use the woodmizer blade gauge ar your mill?
I just got mine Friday used it all weekend on the mill, wish I wouldn't have waited too get this tool, its a Starrett gauge, quality tool 🌲👍👌🧡🧡
If you could do a video on talking about tension on the mill & how woodmizer mills tension the band to be able to saw so quickly, & was wondering your thoughts on band wheels without belts!🤔??
Thank you for your time and expertise
What do you all do with the saw dust? Any uses for it?
Sure, I give a lot of it to horse people and landscapers, as long as they load it, or I don’t have to fire up anything that burns diesel, it’s all free.

OK
