Hi Jeff, thanks for the channel shout out! We really appreciate your help to grow our channel. This was a good video and I like how your sawmill powers itself through the log. Dad's mill needs to be pushed along and I can see how nice it is to have them under power. Take care! Jason
I’ve milled a lot of lumber this fall, hard to find time to film all the goes on around here. The power feed makes it a one man operation, I can stack lumber or pile slabs while the mill is working. Thanks again for the support! I appreciate you as always. Cheers! Jeff and Leslie.
Thank you! I’d have loved to had a WoodMizer but I was too impatient with the wait time of 16 months. I worried if I needed a part later, I’d wait another 16 months. So building it myself I figured I had a little better control of it. So far so good! Thanks again for watching. Jeff
How's she goin'? Your mill is working pretty good Jeff. You managed to get some good wood out this pine tree. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great week!!!
Great video 👍 and good job! I subscribed to your channel right away 😉 I will soon be presenting my sharpening machine for the sawmill. There are already videos of the creation process! Keep it up and take care From Germany Ronny ✌
Great video, New subbie here! Our sawmill has treated us well for the last 40 years. Good Luck with your channel you have a new stalker, I mean fan of course lol
I just found your channel so I will stay with you for a while. I like your dialogue and as you’re cutting you’re not treating us like a stupid viewer. Some other channels do that. I would like the camera a little closer to the saw if you don’t mind. I don’t have a habit of commenting very often but you can be sure I’m watching. You stay safe and God bless. 🇨🇦✌️
I really need to work on my ‘camera’ skills, or should I say iPhone skills! I enjoy making them and telling folks what I’m thinking as I go. Many thanks for stopping by! God has already blessed me way beyond what I deserve! Jeff
OMA is def. a good channel. They put lots of effort into it and deserve more attention IMHO. They'll get there. Really like your wood setup. Would humbly suggest a voice over would be much more pleasant to listen to vs a mic that also picks up all the machinery noise while trying to listen to what you are saying. It's really very difficult with headphones.
Hi Jeff, Just subscribed! Do you make allowance for the kerf of the blade. You mentioned the cant was 8" x 8" and you would get 8x 8"x1" boards.... So is each board a little less than a try 1"? Or is the 8" cant actually bigger than a true 8", perhaps a log scale 8" measurement that takes into account the kerf? I'm interested to know, as I'm building a mill here in the UK.
I don’t normally leave any allowance for the blade, unless I’m matching store bought lumber. An 8” cant is actually .082” of an inch smaller. If a customer is trying to use a store bought bracket it usually calls for 5 1/2”. I can mill that easily, I’ve got a digital read out that will cut an exact measure.
@@thelogfather5002 Good to know. I was overthinking it. A 2” board is way less once dried and planed/thickness’d. I think I will do the same as you. My mill is almost ready for its first cut.
@@thelogfather5002 It is a better habit to always make allowance or account for the kerf. Once in the habit you will never have an issue. As a sawyer you will and likely have, run into customers that want different things. Some want dimensional (I only mill dimensional 1/8th over to account for some shrinking during drying otherwise they will have less than dimensional and be unhappy), some want full dimension (then you must account for the kerf or you are not providing the product they asked for), some don't care if it's 1 7/8" or a full two inches and you can then "mill on the evens" which is what I call what you're doing. It's all in what the customer wants ;) I guess I just wanted to chime in because I think it's a lot easier to get used to always accounting for the kerf vs not doing it and then having to later when someone wants dimensional plus 1/8th and you have to sort out the cant on a 24" diameter log so you maximize the production to meet the customers needs ;)
@@TheOldJarhead Loud and clear! I make sure I communicate clearly with my customer to know what they expect. When I’m milling for myself or for inventory- I just cut right on the line- splitting the difference in the size of the kerf. So far so good! Thanks again for the support.
I assume it’s a Bluetooth connection from the mike to the camera. I suspect the signal fades out when your head or body goes behind the saw or is otherwise blocked. You might check if you can raise the transmitter power, although that will shorten the battery life.
Hi Jeff!!😀😀 That's a really nice mill. Unless you told us you built it. I would have thought you had bought it. What size engine is on it? It really does a nice job and didn't seem to work very hard sawing a log that size. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
Have you ran any WM double hard blades? I would like a report on the 2 blades from anyone that has ran both blades, and done a regrind as to the life of the blades. I first thought your l;ogs were from a fire area. the black burnt bark will drag and stain the lumber as it's cut, and I did not see that in your lumber.We have a lot of burnt trees out here on the left coast of N. California.
The only blades I’ve run are the Ripper37s and the Hakansson blades. I don’t have any experience with the WoodMizer blades. Nathan from Out of the Woods likely has, have you reached out to him? I can get about 6 or so sharpenings and sets on the ripper37s blades, I haven’t sharpened the Hakansson ones yet. I have to reconfigure my sharpener in order to deal with the wider blade. I have a few dozen 1 1/4 blades to do for customers. Thanks again for watching! All the best, Jeff
You’re absolutely right! A mill shed is definitely in my future, near future too, I’d say as soon as the frost lifts out of the ground I’ll start building. Black spruce is pretty dark. I’m using Ripper37s blades and Hakkansen blades, both are great. Thanks for stopping by! Jeff
On effort alone, I always hit the like button so that I don't forget...that said, if I think its really trash at the end... I can always change to a dislike and very very seldom do as it is hard work doing the whole video thing. I really did find the video just now dang good so it was enough to go ahead and subscribe. Your sound is a bit off and your fighting the good fight to fix so who am I to complain on that. Why I liked this is the fact that all your moves for the video were a constant "this is the way I do it every time it is available" as logs determine how each one is processed and your doing it way better than a good ninety percent trying to do the same. I will be following and might go back for some prior videos!
That’s the best little- do everything well- Swiss army tractor I’ve ever owned. The tires are a good compromise of all the choices, but probably not the best in the snow.
Hey Jeff. That camera doesn't have a mind of it's own, it's FREAKIN' haunted! Put it in a dark sack (so it can't find it's way home), drive deep into the back woods and fire that spooky thing into a river or lake! Trust me, you'll thank me when your life story isn't titled "Blair Witch Project 2".

Great start to your channel. Enjoy watching the process. Good luck!!
Thanks for watching! All the best, Jeff.
Real nice build and your lumber is just the same as what comes off my Wood Mizer. Hats off to you it is a nice little mill

Working great! I’ve used it a lot this fall, but no time to film! Lol. Thanks for your support as always!
Jeff
Thanks a bunch LF...I learned all sorts of good stuff from this video..
Learn what you can for whomever you can! Thanks! Jeff
just found your channel and absolutely love the content. Keep it coming buddy - I just bought a HM122 and am putting her to work. Cheers!
Thanks for checking us out! All the best, Jeff
Thanks for sharing, that mill you got sure is powerful
It’s got just the right amount of power I’d say. It doesn’t seem to matter how big the log is, it powers through it the same.
Really nice set up you got there! Looking forward to more videos!👍👋
Thanks for watching! I hope I don’t disappoint!
Excellent video John love the channel
Thanks! It’s Jeff by the way. :)
Great video 👍 and good job!

i like nice straight logs good job john

Soon time to invest in a decent mic. That’s for watching just the same! Jeff
Hi Jeff!!😀😀
That's a really nice mill. Unless you told us you built it. I would have thought you had bought it.
What size engine is on it?
It really does a nice job and didn't seem to work very hard sawing a log that size.
Take care my friend!!😀😀

Time for a saw mill shed. Why are the logs so black? Who's blades are you using?
You’re absolutely right! A mill shed is definitely in my future, near future too, I’d say as soon as the frost lifts out of the ground I’ll start building. Black spruce is pretty dark. I’m using Ripper37s blades and Hakkansen blades, both are great. Thanks for stopping by! Jeff

Hey John how do like the 2025r how do like them tires
That’s the best little- do everything well- Swiss army tractor I’ve ever owned. The tires are a good compromise of all the choices, but probably not the best in the snow.
First time viewer, we'll done video, where are you located
Hi Brian, I’m on the beautiful south shore of Nova Scotia. Thanks for watching.
Hey what make and model is your mill
That’s a homemade mill, loosely based on Linn Lumber design. Thanks for watching! All the best, Jeff
Good job
Thanks!

No idea? lol
Are you making fun of the dialect that calls a garage the correct pronunciation? 😂

Thanks for the compliment. :) more recent videos have increased audio quality. All the best! Jeff.
