Why cut the boards 2 1/2 in. thick?
@@ralphpatterson440 I love those cuts Ralph. Thicker wood is more forgiving and easier to work with. No warping or cracks, usually.
@Triple L Rustic Designs....
Yeah those idiots do that on every YT channel! And the thing that pisses me off is they steal the creators logo design & channel name to put on their scam messages in the comment section. This should be unacceptable by UA-cam or any platform. UA-cam should turn this over to law enforcement immediately and these people should be hunted down charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!!!! What makes me so mad is innocent people get scammed outta money. Another thing these phone call scammers need to be dealt with thru international law enforcement to prosecute them!!!! They’re mainly from India 🇮🇳 and Pakistan 🇵🇰 and abroad but they trick older retirees into giving credit card information and they rob them blind. This needs to be seriously tracked down internationally and have law enforcement in all countries to strictly enforce prosecution for these crimes! I PERSONALLY AM SICK OF THESE SCAMMERS CALLING MY PHONE 📱 PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY !!!!!!! But I can’t see how they steal YT creators logo and get away with it by UA-cam 🤷🏻♂️! Also on other channels I’ve seen Chinese are putting pornography links to whores in the comments and I report it to UA-cam and UA-cam won’t remove them! Go figure that one out ????? 🤷🏻♂️😤🤬
Would a metal detector be useful for finding metal wire & nails? 🤔
I have to admit that she has an amazing skill managing wood. 👏👏👏
Whoever is making these thumbnails knows exactly what they are doing.
I remember watching Zoe as a bystander when her husband and his father first got the sawmill, then as a rookie learning to operate it, then when she first tried operating the tractor, then the making of the beautiful table and all of the other great cutting, epoxy projects, and everything else. She's a trooper, and so is her husband who recognized the value of having Zoe more and more involved in the early stages of developing this channel. Can't wait to see how quickly the 250k target is hit.
You are innocent and ignorant. It’s pure evil why they post her and she is on every thumbnails. It’s prostitution to sell your wife’s sexual appeal for views. Who wears skin tight shiny bright yoga pants to do milling work outdoors? If you can’t see that then you are sad for normalizing this behavior.
@@bluwng I have the choice of using the button my mouse @bluwng, and if I want to see Zoe or anyone else who posts a video, I click it. If I'm offended, not interested, or disagree with the politics, the message, or the person, then I don't click it. Easy enough for most people.
@@stanwiggins3423 I have no idea what you are going on about. I don’t really care anything about social media and don’t remember nor care to remember why or what I wrote.
@@bluwng take a chill pill
@@josephclift3662 I don’t take pills
Zōe is actually a highly skilled sawyer. Having owned a Woodmizer sawmill myself for 10 years, and having sawn 1 million board feet of lumber, it is easy for me to see her level of skill, which comes only with many, many hours of sawmilling.
great camera work around 8:48 with a nice smooth cut
I'm a loyal subscriber to them yoga pants👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I mean I can't disagree
Weirdo
Yeeea boi
Count me in also 🤣😂🤣
Me too. Specially when Zoe wear it.
If you hadn't noted that the audio went out I never would have noticed. The visuals alone are worth the posting
This channel sure makes a lot of Wood I’m sure. 🤣👍
If UA-cam banned yoga pants this channel would be dead. It’s sad they are using that to attract viewers.
@Gus Pisano....😂 I know what you mean and I agree 😏
@@CCRider5312 😂.... yeah!
@@xxBLKSNXxx 😏...hey, whatever works!
Two things. Have you ever used a metal detector to scan the tree for metal prior to placing it on the sawmill?
I have a friend that removes trees for a living. Prior to any cutting, he scans the tree with a metal detector, as a nail or spike will ruin your day.
The second thing is Lenox makes a carbide grit band saw blade that will cut through wire and stay sharp. The blades aren't inexpensive, but for your application might allow you to salvage good board footage from what is to become scrap wood.
A good metal detector that will penetrate a log more than an inch or so is going to run close to $4,000 these days. Their bandsaw blades are about $30. Simple economics says the metal detector just isn’t worth it.
3:05 woman who works there's time in gym is paying off! this show has everything, big machines and heavy work, humor, education, wood working and finishing, good chemistry with crew, and yoga pants. Well rounded. I'm here for it
Fantastic video again Zoe totally love everything you do with all the timber
Thank you
Why didn't you cut the the side piece off with the chainsaw? There's a big limb there sticking out. It's going to mess up your project. You going to have to go live people have so many questions..
Good eye catching the metal in the log and deciding not to process it. I can't wait to see what you make from the slabs of the second one.
She definitely knows how to handle a wood 😉😎
...and a nice "toe" ;-)
The exact reason she wouldn't have any reason to deal with you
@@courtbaldwin1986 Why are you upset and projecting your insecurities.
If they didn't mind the jokes and comments.. they wouldn't do what they do.. just having a little fun..
@@DM-eb2ye I call the characters used to drive people like that closeted Court guy crazy Simp or Cuck Generators. They'll launch themselves out the woodwork to protect the sanctity of White Christian Womanhood.
Every time they sprout a boner an angel investor gets a new jet.
Like clockwork they make their c^^^^ work and extract that wealth. lol
You guys should add a Lathe to your shop. Great tool to turn special cuts off a lot into bowls and such, and an even better outlet for turning odd or little pieces into something useful. And the shavings can be used for mulch.
If the log is green, fast turning bowl blanks (for instance) is fast and fun. Green wood turns like butter, versus dried wood more like beef jerky. Turn the blanks to 10% thickness of diameter, slap some sealer on them and drop them on a shelf to dry. Once dry, you've got a pretty stable bowl blank already roughed out. turn it to finish, urethane oil, buff and done.
And it's fun too boot.
The lady did a fantastic job rebuilding those carburetors! Can't wait to see her next video on saving tulips. I just hate she had to work in all that snow.
This is the most brilliant idea ever lmfao!!! I've never been so interested in watching wood videos on UA-cam in my life! Keep up the work!
Yeah the cute girl makes it more entertaining
Just to give you a little hint that happened to me in the past. You need to raise your forks up about where you carry the wood about hip high that way you walk over and lay it in and not put it in when it's on the ground and raise up and get it in the face or head with the upper forks. Love your channel.
Thank you very much! We will do that next time
That's done for a reason lol they know how to get the views 🤷♂️😁
3:03 wonderful
Makes a grown man want to cry !!!!
She must do some squats!
just yes
That is some beautiful wood. As you were cutting each layer and showing its designs, I was thinking of places/projects these could be used for. You just don't know what you have until you start cutting. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful slabs. Make sure you strap them down when drying or they will warp like crazy
Back in the 90s I received some sycamore after a hurricane and i cut into blocks and painted the end grain for turning. I let it sit for awhile then turned a vessel on the lathe and I guess the wood was still drying as it started to go oval in shape and no splitting, pretty crazy wood and wild grain. all these years and its egg shaped still. that book matched wood is a knockout.
Mother was firewood cutter as a child. She taught me alot as we cut wood. One advice she gave is if the tree your cutting is in a yard with young boys. Expect metal in the wood. Believe it are not but I have cut old trees weather has blown down in a old home place which boys grew up at. Full of nails. Once cut at a fork in the trunk. Old coke bottle in it. Yeap! Dulled three chains before I got it cut out.
Sycamore is a wood that grows near water such as creeks and rivers. It is a wood that is difficult to hand split because of interlocking fibers. As a previous gentleman indicated, tightly band the slabs as you air dry them due to warpage perhaps additional bands are the way to go, and let them dry for a much longer period…Hope this is helpful. It was a good lockout catching the metal fencing!!
Those are some nice Sycamore slabs. Here are a few facts about what you have:
Comparing them to The Live Oak that you cut…
Sycamore will weigh less when green than the Live oak will after kiln dried. For a cubic foot… Sycamore is 53Lb green and 35Lb dry. While Live Oak is 76Lb green and 62Lb dry. Or, Sycamore weighs less by 32% (green) and 44% (dry).
Sycamore is great for kitchenware. It doesn’t stain easily an isn’t prone to splitting. It is used to make wooden spoon’s, cutting boards, bowls…. Etc.
Because of its light weight and ability to withstand impacts (it’s not real brittle). Another popular use for it is crates and light duty pallets.
We used to have two explosive factories here. Sycamore was the wood of choice for dynamite crates. If you watch any old movies that have authentic
TNT crates in them… they were most likely Sycamore!
Because it is soft it is also perfect for absorbing impact. I use a round of it as a base beneath my anvil. Because it is light weight, I cut wedges to use as wheel chocks… but beware, Sycamore will deteriorate quickly with ground contact.
Sorry that you lost the audio but thankfully you were able to keep the extraordinary video!
Might I suggest Closed Captioning (CC) for your videos. It really helps us deaf guys, and helps combat poor sound-scapes (wind), or other competing noises.
3:04 Thank you Lord
when the time lapse goes by, if youre on pc, use , and . to go frame by frame
even more thiccness for our siccness
I think that to work in this sector is very hard , but you guys are always doing this with passion and is not common for sure to see all this Energy , thanks for your tutorial 🤗 you Two are a great team for sure
When you see black stains in your logs, it's an indication that there is iron included in the wood (boat builders call it iron sickness). A metal detector is essential for your operation, if you don't mind me saying so. Take care y'all.
A good metal detector that will penetrate a log more than an inch or so is going to run close to $4,000 these days. Their bandsaw blades are about $30. Simple economics says the metal detector just isn’t worth it.
Definitely learning some things here. I knew it happened because I have seen trees sort of eat things, but I never imagined almost completely invisible metal inside a tree.
what's the difference between wearing pants like that and not wearing at all?
@@seanleith5312 I don't know. What IS the difference between wearing pants like that and..."not wearing at all"?
Gentlemen of wood working culture, we meet again.
The title says it all.. I've worked with Sycamore's before and they are VERY tough to work with, however it's such a beautiful wood when finished with a lot of character. Those are some beautiful pieces and should provide your customers with some very unique and cherished pieces. I mean.. look at the heart of those last 2 pieces .. it's like you've got a smaller tree framed inside the lighter wood. It's gorgeous.
We lived in south Foridaaaaaaa for four years and got the hell out! Moved back to our mountains in east Tennessee! One thing that surprised me was the lack of hardwoods in south Florida! Hurricanes must have taken all of them out if they ever existed there!
She's a heck of a worker and looks like she loves what she does
Maybe you two could use a metal detector wand to scan the tree for metallic foreign objects? Love this show!!
The hand metal detectors aren't very strong and trees are super dense, it wouldn't make much sense.

When they run like that it's usually from red ball or wildlife fence ranchers use. Grows into the trees over years and some will be missing but always has the black stains from the steel. Always a pain when you get what looks good and healthy, but find either decay or steel in em. ✌
3:03 WOOOOOOW 👀👀👀👀
*MORE PLEASE 🙏🏼 !!!!!*
I'm not talking about the 🪵 !!!!
saw a little something we haven't seen in previous videos...
Invest in a metal detection wand, it'll save more blades than trying to eye the logs.
That archway would make a heck of a doghouse entrance, for a large dog
Not gonna lie sir, I‘m pretty impressed about people who are able to watch this video and actually focus on cutting wood into many pieces.
Love your hoodie Zoe!
Good job you guys. Taking care of your equipment. Something you may wish to consider is creating a few turning blocks for the lathe guys. Sycamore can have some really nice grain. Play around a bit with quarter sawing to see whether or not you can expose something really nice; lacewood is what you get when it is quartered. It is great looking stuff. PS---that powder blue is your color!
Thank you!! We made a few bowl blanks from the logs!
If they even know how to quarter saw a log? You also need a log of substantial size for it to make sense and having to turn their logs by hand. It just wouldn’t be possible for their current setup.
i think you are in for a surprise. Sycamore once cut, will warp like crazy. Ive a cousin with one side of his barn made with it and boards as wide as 18 inches. Some smaller ones down to 8 inches. Over time they have warped so bad that they pull out all the nails from half their length and if forced back in and renailed, over the years, did it several more times. He tried making some indoor shelving in his den and upper clothes closets, same story. Its tough to use as fire wood also, as it holds lots of water for a long time and in a fireplace, simply pops and throws cinders all over the house. Your mileage may vary, but thats the results ive seen. Good luck!!
Get you some double hard 4 degree blades if your gonna cut that knotty interlocking grain logs. They really help. I also have a LT 15, and cut a lot of hardwoods. No dipping around the knots either. Hope this helps. Love the videos.
Nice to see you both working together awesome thank you guys I enjoy this stuff
Good catch on seeing the metal, what a bummer the first log was bad after seeing how cool the second log was inside. There might have been a fence line stapled to it at some point and the tree grew around the wire over time.
3:06😍 thank you!
i watch OTW all the time , dont recall sycamore on there ......i love these slabs. son and i ,been chainsaw slabing, definatly gonna slab one of these if i can get. i think i like pattern on sap wood better than heart , but all looks fantastic.
We have a few more to cut up! We also liked the sapwood more. It had cool flame looking designs!
Zoee en başta kıyafetine ve ağaçlarla ilgilenirken eğilip doğrulmana bayılıyorum izlemeye doyamıyorum.
Ha Zoe . I have watched a few more videos with people using saw mills . One of them used a metal detector to check the wood for metal objects .
That final cut would be a wonderful door way into my living room,,,,very nice work girl ,,,you have a great eye for beauty!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉
I hereby name this beautiful person Asstroditi!! You sir that is with her shall be known in public as a great man indeed! The husband of asstrodity! Well done good man. Well done 👏
Love the hoodie! Also as you can see, that metal is why saw mills are reluctant to buy logs off of tree services. Reason being that most of those trees are from yards or property lines. At least the round Western Pennsylvania anyway
I planted a Sycamore (London Plane Tree) in my yard almost exactly 20 years ago. It grew like crazy!
Sycamore is everywhere here. I have a half dozen in and around my yard. Some are 4 ft in diameter. They grow all over in WV near creeks or anywhere damp. You can see there white bark in the winter all over the mountains.
I like the portable saw mill
I'm so glad I found this channel! This is my goal, ideal yard in Colorado! Great job guys!
Y'all oughta tell people that this ain't nothin' but a Kubota commercial!😜 Mixed with some Soft Porn!!
Try Quarter-sawing that Sycamore
the Grain is AWESOME !!
We will do that on our next one!!
@@TripleLRusticDesigns
COOL !!
That Sycamore is gorgeous, good rustic bench material
Respectfully you are breathtakingly perfection Zoe!
Zoe, I haven't seen your video in a while. I hope you and your husband and family are all well and avoiding the covid.
I love how you did the video showing that you have full knowledge and confidence in your skill of using the saw mill. Looked great while doing it. Although just try to remember safety over beauty dear. If the saw hit something and broke or a piece of wood kicked those pants would not protect you much. But amazing video regardless.
im pretty sure those muscles will deflect laser beams ?
You have a lot of different skills and you are very beautiful
But those pants are what gets alot of the views lol I'm just being honest and they know this too or that wouldn't be the thumbnail for the vids lol but I do like what they do it's very neat looking
Nice looking wood. At the end of the video the way the slabs were setting up reminds me of a kids archway play.
Those two slabs together like that looks like a big penis pushing into a vagina!! Not what I’d want for a gate/door!
Beautiful slabs of wood! I’m curious to see what you’re going to make out of some of those slabs. Looking forward to it! Thanks!
Your putting the syc in that sycamore. You have a really good handle on that saw rig. Can't wait to see you guys create something with those slabs.
I can’t believe I keep watching wood videos. What the hell.
Those slabs are amazing. Keep wondering what it’s like inside.
Man I respect your wife. This is why! She works to help create the family she wants to see. I was just telling my lady that women looking like she would be seeking out men to spend on them (hair, nails, botox).
All the sycamore i ever fool with rotted before it was ever cured enuff to do anything with ???
Lol i call it water wood which is where i usually leave it.
Hope you hav better luck with it👍🏻
I ll be watching👀
Very nice Wolfe Ridge long sleeve shirt and Glock hoodie.
We mill quite a bit of sycamore here in Missouri..... very unique wood for sure. 👍 for the sweatshirt!!!
Really wish the comments could be more respectful 💯. Great content and respect your skill and craft. Let’s keep it classy guys. 👍🏼
We are here to see Zoe. Hello Zoe!
Haven’t even watched the video yet and had to say the thumbnail is fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That Carolina blue has never looked better. She have a contract with the maker the of those leggings - I bet good $$$ that they don’t have a better mode than Zoe, and she makes them look soooooo good!!!!
"Trust me babe, they rather see YOU do it then me. Just shutup n learn everything I say, I swear this UA-cam thing will take off just WATCH! Oh and by the way, here wear these pants too😏" Genius, aint even mad at yall, gotta play the game to win👌🤙
Those slabs look like they would make a cool log cabin style bench seat.
*Which slabs ?*
🤔
@@gwarrichmond6232 any of the thicker sycamore slab cuts,Like the one at 9:56
I wish I were artistic enough to figure out what to do with these beautiful slabs,you made!
Matt Cremona cuts through small metal pieces like those all the time, and it doesn't seem to harm his saw, the blades may get a bit dinged up but if you get a lab you can sell for a bunch of slabs you can sell for a few hundred dollars a piece...
I’ve watched plenty of Matt’s videos and and sometimes they blades do get ruined. He had switched to carbide tipped blades that will saw through just about anything, like the log stop post of his mill! Those woodmizer 15 blades are relatively cheap.
I'm Excited!! probably Nails, Signs, and Fencing saying "Dont Cut me down"! lol
See Zoey run. See Zoey crawl. See Zoey chop. Love Zoey
Get a plug cutter and you can drill around the wires so you can get a grip on it.
Beautiful cut!! I can think of so many things to make out of that! Thanks!!
I have a tree in my yard that has pieces of barbed wire sticking out each side of it. My land used to be pasture land and I think the tree was probably a fence post when it was young.
Interesting video. Good eye you both to see a wire or nail in the tree. It was just like a friend of mine he cut down a good size oak & was using it for furniture also. He found a really old whiskey bottle in it & just kept it after he got it out.
Sycamore here in Kentucky is a very hard wood and almost imposable to bust for firewood. enjoyed the video. Liked, subscribed and rang the bell!!
Years ago I was getting a supply of lumber to begin a woodworking shop. I saw a neet pic of sycamore wood. I had sycamore log cut and it was very different from what I had seen, and it was very large.
Never been so jealous of a tractor seat until i watched this video
Zoe, so glad you give the boys what for. Love the channel, and the wood you show is BEAUTIFUL!
Great video and by the way you're a little grafter, those last two slabs one turned upside down limbs facing in with some smaller pieces and contrasting epoxy infill would make a neat table.
I'm completely confused as to what I'm watching. All I know is I'm watching all of it. 😂
Zoe, don't you ever get cold? Boy, you go to love sycamore's the wood is so beautiful. Is it stable for working it? The heartwood is amazing.
I cld watch Zoe work aaaaall day. Badass chic
My old wood had a soft spot but this new slab of sycamore is going to last a long time.
Looking at that slab makes all my "SOFT" spots go away!!!!
You can use a multimeter to check continuity on the two ends of the wire.
If Zoe isn't the most physically perfect woman ever, she must be in a tie with her. Great looking slabs too. I agree with those making amazing kitchen table and bench seats.
Thank you
What slab?
@@donmcgimpsey1706 i think he meant hind quarters ?
@@donmcgimpsey1706 I'm referring to the slabs of wood she cut. I'd never refer to any part of APHRODITE (Zoe) as a slab.
*I love beautiful SLABS !!!!!
👍🏼🥵👍🏼
Plus 1 on getting a metal detector I buy rough lumber that I run thru thr jointer and planner, I can't tell you how many blades I nicked on the jointer before I got a metal detector. I don't mind spending a few minutes scanning for metal as much as I hated changing the blades on the jointer.
Ohh yahhh that was very smooth, and the cutting of the log or whatever too
Saw this at 1 view. Should be a million in a day.
Super windy is like 70 mph gusts. Iowa on the daily is like 15-25 mph most of the time it’s windy though.
Wow What A Beautiful Tree Thanks For Sharing 🎄✌
I have the same setup on my smaller kabota with the skid steer style quick attachment and front hydraulic hoses ran up front
