Cutting Pine Logs on the Sawmill!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Cut a few pine trees down on our property. They were planted with the intention of being cut down (harvested) for wood. These I’m cutting up on the sawmill to use as siding on a house I’ll build!
Preciate y’all!
Jeff, the only thing my dad taught me was about Jesus and to be a gentleman. The only skills I learned were from jobs I've had. I can fish and hunt with my Savage 270, but not bow hunt.
I wish i knew half of what you know. You have it made! Hunting, trapping, fishing, noodling, planting trees, harvesting trees, cutting your own lumber, building cabinets and houses...shit man, i wanna be you!
I'm 56 but my body is falling apart and so is my health. I'll probably be dead in a few years, but living a life like you have would be a dream for so many! Thank you Hannah for setting up this channel. You are just amazing as your dad! I wish I could come visit and eat some Hog and those fish nuggets with the hot sauce! God bless y'all.
Paul S. • Hey brother I'm 52yrs old and right there with ya, as far as the health thing. I've had to pretty much figure out everything on my own also, my friend. You keep being a gentleman and keep believing in Jesus one day you and I both will have a new healthy body. God Bless you and yours my friend. Jay 👍👍
@@silvergrizzly316 thank you Jay! I'm looking forward to that day!
@@pauls.981 Amen!
Paul S,
Go for it buddy, I have a fake knee and a bad hip and love to go trapping beaver. Figured away around my handicap, I trap from a canoe, and have a heavy duty wagon to take my catch from the canoe to the truck. Found out about Air Skinning on UA-cam, beaver have 2" of fat under the skin and it's hard to pull up with my arthritic fingers. But with a compressor and a tube under the skin, you can blow them up like a balloon, then you can peal the skin off like pajamas.
Learned everything I know from The Meat Trapper channel. And I don't start trapping until I was 60, I'm 68, almost 69 now. I'd be dead long ago if I didn't have adventures to look forward to. Don't ever give up on life or it will give up on you.
@@parrotbill9072 it all sounds good. I have a total left knee replacement, Osteoarthritis and Psoriatic arthritis, type 2 diabetes, enlarged spleen, cirrhosis of the liver, some new diagnosis called DISH and many more things. Tremors in both hands now. Can barely feed myself anymore. I try not to complain much though. God will only take me when HE is ready.
That's one hard workin man, right there!!! Godspeed Jeff.
Jeff your new channel is going to “blow up”, as in “successful”!! Congrats and continued success as your sub count climbs!!
I wish people in 2020 had the work ethic of the Barron Family. Perhaps there wouldn't be so much turmoil in the world. Everyone wouldn't be so self absorbed and just work to be productive and healthy. One can only hope I guess.
They are the lost America, for sure.
I 2nd this msg.
These days with virus, people wishing they knew half the skills these guys know.
Who can dislike this video? Jeff, much respect to you. Not many of us left in the world that can do what we do. Keep the videos coming. You gotta fan for life!
Tree huggers😂
liberals. lol
8 city dwellers
Other youtuber maybe timber
Soy boy beta cucks. That's who!
Jeff im just a yankee barber frm mass. But i find enjoyment from you and your daughter's videos. You guys do some amazing things! I wish i had yall skill set lol. You are blessed to have a such great relationship with your daughter and family. Im a big fan. Keep those videos coming big dog!! Preciate y'all
Mass in the house ✌
Awesome Jeff
Nice sawmill setup , I look forward to more sawmill videos
Nice work. It's different from work at a steel fabrication shop. There's a lot of care that goes into this. Thanks for the post.
So Pops is making awesome slabs of wood, because he has that fancy cutting machine! Meanwhile........ I gotta get a new can opener to cut open my cans, HAAAAA! So my excitement for the day though is I found one "Made in USA" and by the Vets too....so that was my quarantine thrill of the day!~ Not quite as cool as Pops though! Cheers y'all!
After high school 1982 I did as all boys did in Forks, Wa. We went logging. Big big old growth Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock and Sitka Spruce. I never had any Mill experience just all logging in the woods. I am beat up banged up and missing a few body parts from logging but I lived. Many of my friends did. It.
Hello Jeff, your have a very nice workable sawmill. If you Perform maintenance on the sawmill it will cut good, & work for a long time. Your getting some nice size boards from the logs. Thank you Hannah for setting up a youtube channel for Dad! Thank you Jeff
Oh man I bet that wood smells great. Stay busy Jeff we appreciate you.
Years ago when I was in high school I worked one summer at at a pulpwood yard. We had a saw mill that ran for hours and hours every day. I probably stacked millions of board feet just like you're doing Jeff. Depending on what the customer wanted sometimes we also ran raw lumber through a planer to smooth it out. Back breaking work and I was completely spent at the end of the day. However, I was in the best shape ever!
I agree with you on keeping the cuts clean same goes with chainsaw. I appreciate yall.
Planted in 1989....31 years for some lumber....damn country folks are patient.
I remember back in about 2005 I took my best friendfrom Centerville Indiana all the way down to Louisville Kentucky to pick up a saw mill that I remember looks just like the one you got pretty much back when I was about 19.20 years old I grew up helping farmers andI helped them harvest a bunch of trees and logs and they hired a guy that had a sawmill he brought to their house and brother we've made tons of lumber and it was a great experience for methey built one hell of a house out of the lumber that come off their property I live in South Carolina now thinking pretty hard about moving back to Indiana I'm disabled from a really bad motorcycle accident that's where all my friends are at I think I'd be much happier might even start my own UA-cam channel just how I live day by day.. the only reason I haven't is nothing too exciting right now if I move back things would be happening. Thanks for all the great videos my brother you represent us men that's for sure stay safe live a great and happy life wide-open no regrets 💪🏽💪🏽🇺🇸💯👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✊🏼✊🏼
yup, seriously busy one man operations. 30 year forestry investment. plant to supply. mahalo for sharing.
Hard worker right there! No one out there telling him what to do ,just doing it
Nice job 👍
I miss doing this in our cabinet shop. Unfortunately I'm disabled now but I still enjoy watching this kind of work. It still messed with a man mentally but you gotta just push through it. Thank you for yalls videos. It really helps me. You and I are about the same age brother.
Hey Jeff. Awesome video. Keep them coming.....
You taught her how to build her own house. I don't know any and I mean any woman that can do that so my hat is off to you . You sir have an amazing daughter. Good luck with your new video adventure and I will be watching so I can learn some new trade skills. I also enjoy cooking all types of game . I wish I access to the pork that is such a problem there in the south. I see pork chops and bacon and hams . Ok I need to stop my mouth is watering . Love you guys , be safe and god bless y'all.
Great video, beautiful land !
NW GA, Very impressed with your skills of passing down true southern traditions. Came here from Hannahs channel to support. I learned a little from you watching her channel and i want to say thank you. Awesome job supporting her aswell. Hell of a man and father!
I have a lot more respect for a tradesman who runs old equipment that runs well due to maintenance than the guy who has new to 3 year old equipment replaced due to abuse and lack of maintenance. A 1989 mill tells me a lot about you. You seem to have the wood drying figured out as well.
I've done a little time on a wood mizer myself . My dad has one we spent a couple years cutting . Nothing like the smell of fresh cut lumber ... Except when I did some roofing with cedar shakes . Now thats a smell that would never get old . Love the smell of cedar in the morning with the sun coming up over the trees . Damb getting old sucks ! God bless and stay healthy and safe . "Deeds not words"
Came on over 'cos Hannah asked me to.
Decided to watch 'cos Hannah asked me to.
Subscribed 'cos Hannah asked me to.
Great to see some real work being done from scratch.👍🏼🇺🇸
Regards from a Blacksmith in the UK. 👍🏼🇬🇧
I have a lot of respect for you sir. I wish more men out there new how to work hard.
Excellent !
You a hard working brother, you seem like good honest people. I cant wait to see what more you have to teach us. 👍
Awesome video keep up the good work
Hi Jeff my name is Pete from central New York and not the city lol , I hate cityidiots 😨😨😨 .I've watched your beautiful daughter as she has grown with her channel and I must say that you have done a great job in raising her .
you have a nice set up, all around
Picked up a new Timberking 2020 the other day. Had to wait a year. Little did I know the Caldor fire would happen and slightly burn all my trees on 32 acres. Well, now I have some timber to mill. Lot's of pine. I'm subscribing. Very good step by step teaching. Thanks.
GREAT VIDEO. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA.
Can't wait to see you build more traps, catch and cooks are great too!! Great Content, keep it coming!!
Jeff, Thank you for your explanations. I wish I was a young man so I could try to work like you. God Bless, Roger
Nice tutorial on efficient work habits Jeff you a great dad too.
Great video Jeff
I like the new channel Jeff. Good luck and much success! 👍👍
I don’t know if anyone other than family and close friends but your a GREAT DAD!!!
Hanna is a wonderful young lady full of the country life in her eyes.
Just started watching a day ago enjoy both channels.
Keep going and this is important you two explain everything!!! Some channels tell the story but not the in you need to make it work.
Thanks
Dan
Love your guy’s lifestyle. Don’t change. Priciate ya
It's hard dirty work, but extremely rewarding. 👍
30 years of growth. Wow. Our rotation age for timber harvest is from 80 to 110 years. Eastern slopes of the rocky mountains, long winters and cold soils. but tight ring strong timber!
Great show Jeff , Hanna taught you well how to make videos. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your channel .
Mike Morgan and I would be interested in a blade sharpening video. I have breakfast with Mike and Melissa just about every morning. Their channel is "Outdoors with the Morgans". He has a wood-mizer, they live in Western Pennsylvania. Their only softwood is red pine and there Hardwoods are maple, cherry ,oak ,red and white. Some hemlock, a few Ash and Elm. Quite a few of their subscribers refer to them with "Morning coffee with Mike and Melissa. You and Hannah are a hard-working family. She has learned from you what they can't teach in schools , a great work ethic!
You have a lot of knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for sharing with us.
There’s nothing more amazing than the manufacturing lifecycle of a tree
👍
Watching from New Zealand
my first job after leaving school was in a lumber yard, loved that job!
Hello Jeff. I'm 47 and on hospice care for heart disease. I've had bypass surgery and have 23 stents and 3 arteries completely blocked off. And I'm here to tell you if it wasn't for God and family members I cant honestly say I would be here. I like watching you and your daughter channel it keeps my spirits up. Cant explain why just does. Appreciate y'all
Great video
Hey boss man your a damn one man mill and that old girl sure dont have a problem cutting through them logs .Hannah gave me the heads up you was at the mill recording .Been waiting on the upload .really helped with you explaining the details you are a damn good teacher .Thats a mess of wood there 💪🇺🇸💯
Jack of all trades, and a Master at All. I am impressed!
You taught her life skills and not just going to college and get a degree👍👍👍 for that. You taught her how to be self sufficient and for that I bow my head to you sir .
Jeff: Watching you take the wheel covers off......mine haven't been on in 25 years...ahahaaaa...paint on them is brand new while the rest of the orange has faded out.
Ever try tapered lap siding ? That is what I use on all my buildings around the farm. Cut a log into an 8" wide cant by however tall you can square it up, (10-18") then stick a 5/8" plywood shim under the cant on the bed rail. Lower the head to where you're cutting about 3/4-7/8" on the outer side of the cocked cant, the inside will be around 1/4-3/8" (Adjust your shim thickness to suit the taper you like....I find 5/8" works for me). Remove the shims for the next pass, the taper will switch sides. Keep repeating until you're as low as the head will go. You get a LOT more siding per log, and it's a lot easier to install over board/batten, and it's a lot better IMO because you don't have that air gap between board covered by the batten, but still open to insects/air at the bottom.
good job💪👍
In the 80's they wanted about $20,000 for Wood Mizer's high end model. A buddy and I made one from the axle up. The only thing that we needed from Wood Mizer was the blade guide and at the time they were the only company that sold 12 volt rheostats. It's somewhere in upstate NY now.
The next time I will just buy one that's already in one piece.
Great job mister I love everything about that sawmill I know it's hard work I appreciate you
Love the smell of fresh cut wood
Great video!
Very nice to see. My dad was into the technology aspects of sawmills. He created laser vision systems that could maximize what you got out of a log by scanning it and tell the operator how to rotate it and place it in the mill to get the maximum lumber out of the log based on what the market wanted. It's so weird its been so long since I've even talked about sawmills (my dad passed away several years ago). I can follow you along every step of the way. It's amazing how your operation is almost as good as some of the bigger mills with larger equipment. As far as drying the lower boards go I see a large fan leaning up against a post at 6:26. You could attach that to a windmill that is taller than your trees and have it blow the lower boards to keep them from molding and mildewing. Wouldn't have to power it. Very nice work.
That's two years younger than mine. I've got the LT40HD, with over a million board feet. It's been sitting idle for the last 15 years. Getting too old to run it... good video.
Very smart man appreciate youll
Poor Ol Jeff...always a workin. Don't you ever take a break boss.
Fun to watch Jeff ty much preciate yall
I agree Jeff this channel is awesome! It will blow up... Appreciate you!
Really enjoy your videos Jeff..👍 from Kelowna. BC Canada
I'm a lawyer in New York and have never seen lumber being milled before. it's so satisfying to watch
You're one hard working man.
Had a buddy who bought a small mill operation after 2008 collapse, paid a couple hundred thousand as it had dryers, etc. and sold it after 10 years for just over $2 million dollars. He moved out West after. Enjoyed the video.
Good video Jeff n you got a gold mine there with all that cut lumber for all the building.. Looking forward to seeing videos of the Spec houses coming up.. Retired carpenter but still do wood work..
Jeff you are the man!!!! Love all your videos brother. Shout out from north Carolina
Ok MasterCraft man Jeff I like your videos plus I'm looking forward to see this building of the new house. You should have Hannah cooking for you why you put that work in. Hot lunch cold ice lemon aid to 💯💯💯👍🏽
You have some mighty knotty logs there...
The tips are priceless.
Very interesting
I have NEVER seen a family like yours that can do everything! Truly amazing!
Wow a month! That's quick!
preciate you Jeff
Thanks Jeff,
You not only have a wonderful daughter, You've obviously have great craftsman's skills, as well.
Looking forward to more.
Cheers brother.
Mac
Man this is awesome, love the videos jeff!
Gotta love a sawmill.
Great job love the video. I really enjoyed the last house you built but Hanna only posted a couple of videos looking forward to you doing more content building cabinets a houses
Keep it up jeff your awesome
Hello from Maine , your a breath of fresh air in a increasingly self centered supervicial world of people who have strayed from our shared heritage from our forefathers where living of the land and being humble with Grace and kindness to our neighbors and family was not as rare as today .. I'm a new subscriber and thank you for being such a great role model !!
Awesome stuff Jeff! Thanks to Hanna I found your channel. Hi from an ol Saw Filer from northern Ontario Canada. Love you guys stuff keep it up!
Amazing God bless you
Iteresting stuff Jeff. Keep the vids coming. Northernern michigan here.
You are very efficient in your actions. I like the way you edged your first boards while cutting other boards.
I also like to see that you only turn the logs 90 degrees in lieu of 180 degrees that most horizontal band saw mill operators do.
My family had a vertical cut circular saw mill. We turned the cut face down, 90 degrees. All labor intensive mill. Two people were on the carriage, one to set blocks, one to dog the timber, one on the log deck to feed the logs and to turn them. Good old days!
Great Job. I never seen a sawmill before, I am from Arizona now live in Lincoln Alabama. I thank you Sir.
Jeff, you are so multi talented. When I younger I was around farm sawmills, (butchering and etc.) I learned so much. it makes me appreciate what all you do. Thank you, Papa Bob in MO.
Good workout. Bet that wood smells good. Fresh cut.
Jeff, you are the KING of Jack of all trades and Hannah is following your footsteps
Respect a man who works hard. God bless you and family
Love your skill set, your content, and the bond you have with your daughter. Jack of all trades kepp the content coming
Stick with it, you build some super cool stuff!
Jeff, by the comments below it sounds to me like you can do a school once a year teaching. People pay a lot of money for knowledge and that could be a lot of fun for you and Hannah. Everything from How start to finish for kids and adults.
