    And that door and wall art pieces at the end are why you should watch the video all the way through! That’s a great collaboration and I look forward to more creations from it.

    Matt - Immensely enjoy your videos. Not only do I acquire a lot of technical knowledge, watching you saw logs is very relaxing, something that touches our primitive cortex, much like taking a nap in a good rainstorm. You have a very rare 'pn camera' talent, which is the ability to communicate in an easy / clear manner. If you ever get tired of woodworking, you could be a late night TV talk show host hands down!

    The seeing of the end was a nice touch. Seeing the Log cut, and then seeing what was done with it is quite entertaining.

    "Nice crack". As an urban Sawyer, we agree, cracks are part of the natural beauty. We would have milled these a bit thicker to be safe and ensure as finished live edge tops that they are at least 2" thick. That vacuum kiln is sweet with the clamping system. That door is sweet...very nice work. We are producing some special wall art that we hope to share early next year. Keep it up and love what you do!

    Awesome! By the 4th or 5th slab I was like: Oh another amazing slab...and another...and another. You'd think I'd get bored watching wood being sawn. But I don't. Keep up the good work, Matt.

    I had the privilege of living and working at an old growth sawmill in the late 70's, in eastern victoria, Australia. We used to mill Australian mountain ash which can grow up to 300 feet high. Largest log we cut while I was there was 14 feet in diameter. There were two logs of similar size from the same tree, each log weighed about 40 tons ( the max load for a log truck). The breakdown saw had a 12 foot jaw, I could fit my forearm between the teeth of the blade. The mill is now a ghost town in the middle of Errinundra national park that was created in the mid 80's to preserve these magnificent giants.

    You make cutting a log into boards interesting : ) (Along with your other full projects) Good times!
