I love it!! Thanks for sharing. Y’all just have bigger trees out there than we do in here in the East. If I found an ERC log that big, straight, and lovely I would die a happy man. Keep it dusty brother.
Yeah, got to use something other than your camera as I get dizzy. Explain what you are going to make out of it before and what you are doing with the pieces you remove occasionally. Is all the wood you took off, other than the dimensional, scrap? How are you stacking it, drying. Why did you set up the log that way in the beginning, thought process. Liked the video though. You are an easy guy to listen to... keep them going! My comments though are since I won't be getting my mill for another couple months so I could be asking stupid questions.
I am glad that you enjoyed the video! I agree with you about the phone. It isn't at all well suited for this type of thing. Fortunately, most of my future videos use GoPro camera(s). I believe that this particular log was sold for decking. We didn't stack it for drying since it was going to be used immediately. Most, if not all, of the non-dimensional stuff is scrap and gets put into a pile and burned. Scraps and such really pile up fast and it's almost impossible to get rid them. I set the log up like I did because I find it easier to have the small end towards the 'head' of the mill. It makes it easier to plan out the cuts when you can readily see the actual diameter of the log.
Logs like that are exactly why I cut my LT35 in half and widened it to 34.5" wide cut area. Got so tired of breaking out the chainsaw and wasting time.
Thank you for watching! I bet widening it was one heck of a project. Most of my timber is smaller than the max for the mill so I don't spend a whole lot of time whittling on them with my chainsaw.
@@CascadiaLumberworks It only took two days and thats because I had never done it. I could do one in a day now. This weekend I have been working on widening a LT40 for a friend, they are even easier to do. Keep up the great work!
i love doing what you do i cut too i got an LX 55 but i am getting a LT 35 it will make my life so cool i cut some big logs o my god it was hard to flip them any how i loving doing this

Thanks for Watching and Subscribing! What's the average size of a tree were you come from?
@@CascadiaLumberworks Easter red cedar average around 12” big ones are 18”. We get some 36” poplar and oak. But not many evergreens
Thx for sharing
My pleasure

How did u do the job I have an lt35
Did you cut quality suffer any when you widened your mill?
@@DustyRanch no, it cuts really well. Just have to go slow on the really wide cuts.
A little trick if you saw get stuck put a wedge in the end and it will help get it out
That’s a good idea. Next time I’ll try that!
That is awesome!
Thank you kiddo!
Do addictive!! Keep rgem coming
Keep them coming sorry
Thank you for watching! I will do my best to keep them going for sure.
i love doing what you do i cut too i got an LX 55 but i am getting a LT 35 it will make my life so cool i cut some big logs o my god it was hard to flip them any how i loving doing this
Thanks for watching! The hydraulics on the LT35 definitely make life a lot easier!
You got to think stop sign with those.
