Cutting $100 Boards from Forgotten Log | Frontier Sawmills OS23
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- We cut up a forgotten log on our portable sawmill by Frontier Sawmills. After looking up the price for this specialty wood, I was blown away. This log has been on the ground for at least 5 years. This was a fantastic find, and our OS23 by Frontier Sawmills was ripping it up! @TYMTractorsUSA @FrontierSawmills #frontiersawmills

There is nothing more exciting than finding beautiful wood inside seemingly trash logs
I agree with that! I have picked up several older logs in the woods after this.
Always enjoy watching sawmilling.
Thank you Gene. If I had my place done, all I would do is saw on the sawmill. Something about it.
I sure am glad you have a superviser out there today. Hello, Miss Tonya.
She is the best. I am ready to getting back out to the sawmill
That black cherry looks amazing. Great video. Keep up the great work. Glad to see you guys are over the dreaded “C”!!!!
I have some black cherry for you.
Tony you are doing very well you're method for a true cut I think is on the money.great job on the video thank you.
Thank you. I have made my share of mistakes!😁
Great job with the saw mill great job on cutting the black cherry wood
Thank you. I learn more about the sawmill each day.
Beautiful lumber Tony. Good vall too, saving the log for the mill.
I was sure the log was rotten, but it was solid when the tractor pushed against it. I just smile to myself!
You betcha Tony
That's interesting about the bark and leafs of the cherry. I love seeing the difference in color of the sawdust.
I learned another lesson that day. Gizmo got a little sick being around the Cherry dust. His eyes were red and itching. He is better now, but it is something to keep in mind.
That’s nice lumber Tony.Our buddy Nathan would say that Christmas in June!! Thanks for sharing !!
I agree. I have left the log on the ground for two years, thinking it was rotten. When I tried to break it with the tractor, it wouldn't break. I just smiled!
Outstanding video and content, Tony! Very inspiring to a life-long woodworker!
Thank you. I have the wood bug myself.
@@TonysTractorAdventure my wife calls me the "Termite of Wood Scraps"!
I love sawing cherry, walnut and red cedar. Good easy sawing and always some pretty lumber too.
Yes sir. I agree. I have saved up about 16 black cherry logs for future use in our home build.
@@TonysTractorAdventure It'll make an awesome table as you describe. I've got my house filled with my own T and G flooring, wall coverings and even some of the ceilings. The 4 seasons room and closets are all 100% red cedar and yellow pine. So there's a combination of several varieties of oak, ash, cherry hard and soft maple, pine, red cedar and American elm throughout the house, either in flooring, wall covering or trim. Most all originating off the circle saw mill I grew up on back on the home place. Nothing yet off of the Frontier though.
Awesome video tony hope you and the wife are doing good and man thats some beautiful lumber right there i tell you what. Keep up the great work and enjoy your alls weekend.
Thank you my friend. We are feeling much better now. I wished I could stay on the sawmill the whole time. Love cutting lumber
Awesome thanks
Good work Tony! Find another one and you can fill up your truck with diesel!!
Ouch! You are right about that. Diesel is $6 here. I am buying a scooter!
Good looking boards
You know me!
One day they'll make smellavision and this video will be at a whole different level. Great job on saving that Cherry log. I love Cherry and we don't have much of it here in Northwest Iowa.
The amazing thing about this log, was it came off the sawmill dry. It could go to the wood shop today.
@@TonysTractorAdventure cherry seems to dry pretty quickly. Lucky it was off the ground after it fell until you saved it.
Weldone 👍👍👍
Thank you
Nice 'barn' find on that black cherry. It's nice to have luck on your side with no rot on that trunk..
Now I look at every downed tree differently. I am always looking for the nugget of gold.
The black cherry looks good to be laying there for 5 plus years
It would have been bad, had it not fell across other logs keeping it off the ground. I went to break it up with the tractor and it would not break. I just smiled. Some times, I win!
Hi Tony, some nice cherry. Hope you sticker your lumber after cutting it so it can continue to dry. Chief Ron
These board were dry off of the sawmill. Dryest wood, I have ever cut. It was like dust.
That poor homeless spider
Good video
Right! Maybe a few snakes too!
Very nice
Thank you. Good times.
That cherry turned it fantastic. I'm currently looking for a free stainless grill to make bunk caps out of. Great video my friend.
That is brilliant. Old grills never crossed my mind. I will keep an eye out for old grills too. Thank you.
Great boards... Hope you can sell it!!!! What you need to take out the brush off your property is the Machine they use at Upstate Brush Control Channel which is a LeCon Black Hawk... It will be expensive but you clear every inch of land in such short time!!!
I don't sell much to the public, but I will help a friend every now and then with a project. I have a lot of time, but not as much money. LOL! We enjoy clearing the land ourselves. It is very satisfying. We worked last night to 8:30pm clearing up a big Tulip Poplar.
For woodworkers there is no scrap wood, we can make something from wood that many call useless, even small little pieces and can be turned on the lathe to make a handle or pen 🖊
Maybe, someday I will have all the tools
That saw rips on through. Nice machine. :-)
After we added the 14hp engine, it is pretty fast. Thank you, and I hope you stop by again. Tony
A VERY GOOD MORNING TO YOU AND YOUR LOVELY WIFE AND OF COURSE BEAUTIFUL GIZMO, HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL .
Good morning! God Bless my Friend.
Great video folks. That woodmizer blade is an animal on that motor, and a really thin kerf so the mill's share not too big!
The Cherry wood really likes the 7 degree blade. It has had a lot of cut too.
love the building our future debt free we are doing the same
It is hard, but it is the right thing.
When using a black cherry like that you wanna make a table whatever I cut more venerer and glue it to a lesser value number then join it and glue it back together to make a 2 inch board that is black cherry on top and for example pine on the bottom
Very Smart! Thank you for the insight.
@@TonysTractorAdventure your welcome. Keep up the good work
try silicone spray on the bunk heads Stuff should slide easier. if that doesn't work cover the bunk heads with stainless stele sheet metal
Thank you. We are considering an upgrade soon.
Been running a professional shop for over 3 decades and I've never considered paying over $5.00 bf for band-mill lumber.
Every sawyer cuts yard-wood and they cut thin then they'll try to convince you that air dried is as good as kiln dried.
Current wholesale cost for 4/4 cherry (Appalachian ) delivered to the door in less than a week is $4.35bf.
Which means for your 8' board 12" wide I'd pay around $35.00. Now I buy "rough" which means it comes in between 1-1/8" and 1-3/16 AFTER kiln drying and I have almost zero chance of running metal through my machines. FAS means my boards come in without sapwood, checking or large or loose knots, also 4" minimum width of usable lumber.
Sawmills can make a person money but it takes a whole lot of work and really good marketing to make better than market, especially the "$100.00 board!
So, what is your point?
Correct the home Depot lumber is kiln dried #1
Thank you for your input.
Hardwood lumber is always spec'd in random width and length, not like construction 2x4's etc. such as 4/4, 5/4 qtr or 8/4 Qtr.
Sounds right
Just curious to know what size engine pulley you used when the engine was replaced. From what I can see from the sawdust it looks like band speed is spot on.
I went with a heavy duty clutch pulley. The belt pulley is the same size as the original. I lost the info where I ordered it.
those are everywhere here in wisconsin. some as big as 30in across
You should harvest them.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I don't have a mill yet I will this winter.
I love working on the sawmill. It is hard work, but fun
@@TonysTractorAdventure do you get a lot of slabs/cutoffs not sure what the term is, sawdust and chips? reason i ask is because part of my pole shed is concrete and enclosed, must have had a paint room anyway i want to turn that into a kiln and put the scraps into a pellet maker. try to use the entire tree for minimal waste. is itworth it or a lot of added work
Wow
A good day!
@@TonysTractorAdventure yes it sure was. From watching your video I think I know now why my last board or two comes out thin in the middle and thick on the ends. I've been making a cant and then just plain sawing and the stress must be causing that bow in the middle and the board to be thin in the middle on the last cut. Thanks for the help. Oh, one more thing, do you know how to prepare a post to go in the ground so it won't rot? I want to build a shed over my OS23 like you have but I don't know how to treat or prepare the post for ground contact. Maybe old motor oil or not?
500 bucks easy for cherry like that maybe more
I agree. Beautiful lumber
Tony you said you are thinking about fabricating stainless coverings for your sawmill bunks. I have something that may help you with this, how can I contact you and let you know what I have? Good job on the videos.
Facebook or our web page is the best way to reach out.
Your off slabs would make great smoking wood!
My buddy already got them.
Careful of the black sumac, folks not normally "touched" by sumac, ivy, or oak can get itchy or even temporarily blinded by the smoke.
looks like you are sawing wild cherry
Wild Black Cherry
ok is that the black cherry that you see in the mountains ?
I would guess so. It is my understanding it is native from Canada to Florida. It all is sick around here.
Awesome log. Was that a wolf spider, that’s what we call them up North.
Don’t want to be a Safety Sally, but take it from a guy with constant ringing in my head, you, your wife, and your dog, all need some ear protection. You don’t want what I got. I have to sleep with a fan on, in order to drown it out.
I spent 30 years in the Army. Hearing is going ringing every day .
Sell and cut more, solve your cash flow issues.
I have a nice stack of Cherry, for our future house build. I will keep it around.
You need a Metal Detector!
To this point, I have only hit rocks in the bark. I have a nice metal detector, but I am picky where I get my logs now.
This sounds like a talk show
GOOD BY
See you. Wouldn't want to be you!🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
I always love watching the sawmill and what you can get out of each log, but man, that black cherry is so beautiful! Can't wait to see what you all make of it someday. Donald @ #moneypithomestead
You need to come down and we will send you home with some Black Cherry lumber.
@@TonysTractorAdventure would love to do that sometime and you don’t even have to send any black cherry home with us. Would love to know more about the sawmill and help you all when we could.
You're a true lumberjack, Tony! 🪵 Excellent work!
I am a rookie Sawyer! 😁
@@TonysTractorAdventure the cherry we get here in Oregon you don’t let direct sunlight hit it until it gets a coat of finish on it. We had a bunch of cherry doors get darkened and where they were stacked unevenly, there were “tan lines”
It happens. It will clear up once it it dry and it is run through the planner. Sun will darken it up a good bit.
