Hi Robert, I just like to thank you for all the knowledge I’ve learned from you I am fairly new to the woodworking world. We purchased a LT 15 back in October, but finally got it up and running this past weekend. I use all the knowledge type learned from you to cut my first couple logs city they came out perfect thank you again With my wife by my side
Some times you get a little rain on your parade but as the sayings go, the show must go on. Keep the videos coming enjoy watching them, give Chip some treats!!!!
When I first saw the notification for this video, I misread "unlucky log" as "unlucky dog". I'm glad to know Chip's ok (saw him walking by in the final shot).
We have learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you for all the knowledge. We gave you a shout out on our channel and will do so again in hopes it helps others to discover your channel and learn like we have. Nathan Elliot is a good friend and lives about an hour up the road. I know you are friends so just saying. Take care and see you in the next one.
I had to laugh at this one Robert... sorry you had trouble with the mill though. That definitely falls under the " sh*t happens " rule. It just happened to me when I also hit a nail earlier today and messed up my last sharp blade. Time to take a break and watch a Hobby Hardwoods video and it was like deja vu. I feel better now, lol.
I agree, their stuff is pretty good, much better than most and a lot less expensive and almost as good as the "best name brand" and seems to function well in real life environments. Unlike lots of stuff these days, Klein equipment just "works" which is all I can ask.
Great video sir. Thanks for posting this video, I do love my Woodmizer equipment, thanks for the band video last week. Any band information makes for Great videos , they are the most important part of the mill.
Robert, you will never know, maybe you do, I don't know, but.....how much value I, and probably many rookies like me, got out of this. It just seems, a host of Sawyer's present in such a way as if they are so good, and their equipment is so good they never have issues. I could ramble on but shouldn't. Brother, let me just say, thanks. Sincerely, appreciate it.
Thanks, and that means a lot to me. I film real life sawing, with the good and the bad. It's one of the reasons I don't get sponsored, they are always afraid I will tell the truth about their products, which I will, both good and bad. I know several of these companies watch these videos, and I hope they can make improvements with their equipment with some of my suggestions to them. I like your videos as well, keep them coming!
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama Thanks for the encouragement and compliment. Blessings on you, your bride, and of course Chip, as we all work through the dog days of summer!
Time/effort saving routines. As a very young man Albert Einstein was a patent clerk in Switzerland. He arranged to get all of his work done in the morning and then spent the rest of the work doing math. His superiors were unhappy that he wasn't spreading the eork load out during the day as the other workers did. So he was fired. For the record only the best Professors make jokes spiced up with curse words.
I like your attitude to sawing but it pretty much works for organisation and attitude to everything you do in business. At least you did not find a musket ball when you were sawing. My friend found one in an old tree in Sydney au. Like the real everyday trouble shooting. Great learning resource. We quickly run a metal detector over the logs before we put them on the saw. You don’t find them all but you do reduce the number you hit.
That is the aggravating thing, I have a real nice metal detecter 10 feet away, leaning against the wall, ready to use. Oh well, it only cost me two bands and some cussing!
Yes, you are correct, I could have used my DVM to test individual fuses, one by one, as well, but those are single point checks. Using an active wire tracker let me check the entire harness down the wire, inch by inch simply by dragging the probe on the outside of the insulation, like I showed a few seconds of in the video. A fuse tester works fine, but a system like this lets me check for everything from motor to relay to fuse box , including a hidden short or wire broken inside the insulation or shorted in a connector super fast. It will even find a weak connection or partially corroded through wire. Active frequency wire trackers are just next level diagnostic tools, very similar to the underground wire finders the utilities company uses to trace a broken wire in a big wad of cables three feet underground, just on a smaller scale. Thanks for the comment and watching!
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama just thought it was worth mentioning because some times small fuses are pain to get to to pull out not only that the smaller amp fuse it is the harder it is to see the burn. Very good point about being able to trace the whole harness with that tool. Wiring can be a real pain and tool like that make it easier to deal with electric gremlins. Thank for sharing the misfortune and temporary fix!
Didn't you see that I did have the forward travel engaged, how else could I have tested the voltage on the pump? I had it in cruise control, ahead slow, that way I didn't have to keep my hands on the joystick. The old pump is on the workbench to get investigated or disposed, one way or the other, and I already have a new pump delivered, installed and back to normal operations. Thanks for commenting.
first thing is to figure out how many there are because nails will ruin bands. Then if you think it's alone, pull it out with a nail puller, and get back to sawing. However, if there are flocks of them, then pulling them or destroying bands eventually becomes a waste of time and money so the log is ejected.
You're not just the best sawyer, you're the best teacher, and with plenty of great humor. 😄
Wow, thanks!
You really "nailed" that video, Robert. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks!
You the best Mr Robert. I know about that circuit tracing stuff & you are "Smarter than a tree full of owls"!
Thanks!

And that is why I make these videos to help folks such as yourself to not make the same mistakes I have made. Thank you for the feedback and success!
Robert, it looks like one of those bad luck days at the old sawmill today. Thank you for the class on deductive reasoning.
Yes, not a smooth session, and it was Alabama summer hot, but I got back to sawing with minimal loss of my patience. Thanks for watching!
Some times you get a little rain on your parade but as the sayings go, the show must go on. Keep the videos coming enjoy watching them, give Chip some treats!!!!
Thanks, and I will give Chip a dog bone.
I always learn so much from every video you put out. Keep up the great work and as always thank you
Thanks!
When I first saw the notification for this video, I misread "unlucky log" as "unlucky dog". I'm glad to know Chip's ok (saw him walking by in the final shot).
These was enough cussing and muttering by me that Chip wanted to come over and see if he could help!
That’s the kind of videos that show you have to figure stuff out yourself. 😁👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks Wood Yoda! It ain't all rainbows and lollypops.
Ain't that the truth!

Great! I see you got a new mill, if you ever need any help, let me know!
That equipment takes all the fun out of the aggravating of getting pissed, but well worth having.
It's nice to have equipment, but everything breaks down, so the more I have the more I have to work on it.
I had to laugh at this one Robert... sorry you had trouble with the mill though. That definitely falls under the " sh*t happens " rule.

That's funny! At least you know I video real life!
I enjoyed the video. We all run into those problems at some time.
Yes some days just are a pain, but is real life.
Klein makes good stuff. I always called the wire tracer a warbler or a fox and hound.

glad to see it happens to us all. sorry you had a rough go with a camera rolling. jinx! Cheers, Doc.
I figured I have to show the good with the bad, so people know my videos are real and not scripted. Real life, just trying to get er done.

@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama And the air today will be blue! LOL
You can test that fuse easy by just take a test light to the back of fuse while still connected.

Nails and other metal plus breakdowns are a nightmare
Yes, it does get aggravating! .
Things happen just have to push through them
Yes, you are correct!
I keep a pee can under my bed. The forward travel needs to be engaged. Take the pump apart and find the short.
Didn't you see that I did have the forward travel engaged, how else could I have tested the voltage on the pump? I had it in cruise control, ahead slow, that way I didn't have to keep my hands on the joystick. The old pump is on the workbench to get investigated or disposed, one way or the other, and I already have a new pump delivered, installed and back to normal operations. Thanks for commenting.
Have you tried bimetal or carbide tooth blades? If so, how did you like them, and are they worth the extra cost?
Yes I have tried them, and no, except in some specialty situations, I don't think they are worth it. I ought to do a video on them, good question.
Some days you get the bear , some days the bear gets you ...........
Yes, some logs are a 9.5 on the "suck-o-meter."
How do you deal with nails in a log?
first thing is to figure out how many there are because nails will ruin bands. Then if you think it's alone, pull it out with a nail puller, and get back to sawing. However, if there are flocks of them, then pulling them or destroying bands eventually becomes a waste of time and money so the log is ejected.

Thanks!
Mash taders.... come on
I like mash taters, baked taters, tater tots, baked taters, fried taters .....
Nothing goes right when your underwear is too tight
I wasn't even wearing underwear, maybe that was my problem!
