- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Instead of buying lumber to build our chicken processing stand, we wanted to make it from our own cedar off our land! With the help of the Woodland Mills HM122, we got 'er done! We love the look of this cedar processing stand, and we know it will last for many years to come! We hope you enjoy the video!

I noticed it looked like the Misses was the one to find the water problem she is very observant. Shes a keeper.👍🥰👍God bless and stasafe my friends
I noticed the same thing. She is definitely a keeper.
For those who are just getting started and watching their pennies. Free and self sustainable projects are the cat's meow. A sawmill and creativity is a must. It'll pay for it's self in savings. Just from not having to get lumber from an outside source.
You bet it will! Mine paid for itself in projects sold.👍😊
Jacob you are one of those guys that is already a dad before having kids, in a good way... like a Okie Hank Hill
Thank you wild life.
Welcome back to Sawyer Ridge Farm, my name is Jacob, and my wife Alex is the hard worker around here!
Hahaha! 😂 made us both laugh!
Jacob knows your last statement is true. 😂💪🏽
Good day Freinds 😁☕
It's so funny how things change. I saw Dutch use the kill cone. I helped my Dad as a kid. He took an old broom handle n knocked them out. It causes them to stretch their necks n then he used an axe to remove the head. The old clothes line was a way to hang them on the poles. It was fast n easy. That's how the old farm people did it. Nice to learn there is more than one way to do things. You all are doing great with the sawmill.
Jacob, put a bucket with water in under the kill cone so the blood goes in the bucket and doesn't congeal. I have seen people use it on their gardens.
Beautifully done! So glad no one got hurt when the belt snapped. Take Care
When I was younger, I worked at a saw mill.. We had to run water before the cut and air after the cut an we sharpen the blade daily but we also cut wood for 8hrs solid, our boss said the key to cutting wood cool., Even in Machining school, they tought us to keeping tools cool, prevents tool loss also checking the cutting edge sharp helps too 👍
Love yr Channel...love Alex and you too..you're living life right buddy. Alex is hands on for sure!!! Shes such a natural beauty.....thanks for all yr great videos...I watch all you do.
Thank you kathy
I love cedar - it's such a pretty lumber. Nice stand. It's going to last through many chicken processing days.
That particular sawmill needs a 90 elbow put on the factory water line to make it drip on the front of the blade. The water drips out just slightly too far back and the blade heats up faster, which wears it out faster..
Yep,that contributes to breaking.
Roger Flanigan ~ It's terrific that you're familiar with that particular sawmill model and can offer helpful insights. I wondered about the water reservoir and your comment was really knowledgeable.
We will look into that
@@SawyerRidgeFarm We have the same saw.. I just put a cheap little plastic fish tank elbow on and cut the end off sticking out so it dripped further to the front by just a little. It's also important to have a pretty good rate of flow. ( I was taught to make it drip about as fast as you tap your fingers when you are bored..lol) We also mix just a couple good squirts of dish washing liquid in a 5 gallon bucket for the water. Helps keep the sap off the blade and reduces friction heat.
I think that sawmill has paid fpr itself now with everything you and Jason have used it for. That is pretty cool.
Hi Alex an Jacob and Jason. I always love watching you mill your beautiful cedar. When I get my property in N. Idaho I want to get a lumber mill and make some live edge furniture....God bless all you guys
Beautiful couple you are I love watching you guys blessings
You can also add 3 more cones to the other side and really speed up production. Have a Great Day, GOD BLESS
Never waste on any farm. Good Motto. Do it right the 1st time is ideal, best plans have revisions. Good for you on Saw Mill cut a lot wood. Jason may want to keep lots of blades on hand. :) Awesome
Yes definitely three cones would be the best
You all have the kill cone when I was young you just let them flop around on the ground til you scalded them to pluck! Times sure have changed!
My G'pa and uncle never liked the bruised meat from letting them flop around and would stuff them in a gunny sack after the head came off and hang them on the barn wall.
Kill cone is easier and no bruised meat.
My Great Aunt had me help her kill a chicken decades ago for dinner. All she did was grab it by the neck & Break*Wring it before she cut head off. The she scalded, defeathered, & gutted it to cut up & cook.
No expense, a lil Exercise chasing the bird, & good food after all is said n done!!
Looks really good, Jacob! And free IS a lot better, since 8 ft. cedar 4x4s at Lowes are around 30 bucks each! Kept inside the barn between uses, it'll last for 50 years! You can use it to hang hoses, cords and ropes on while the next flock of birds are growing. 👍🏻❤️📹
We had four cones in one side, you could cut the braces on the cone side out so your not stepping in them or kicking then when stuffing birds in cone! You also gave plenty of room to make a bucket stand underneath the cones to put the heads in along with the drained blood! Stainless steel doesn't rust so it can be left in the elements all the time!
Not trying to be a smartellic, but our kill cone was a kill zone...a stump and an axe! 🐔😁
that is a good thing u made there good luck with it after u use it then can tell us how it was for u God bless u all
Amazing project amazed how well it looks fantastic and wonderful
You can also use your project to hang the rabbits for butcher. Put two long nails through the top board. Just far enough apart to hang their back legs. Sharpen The nails. Makes it easy to pull their skin.. have fun
Hello, I love the look and smell of cedar wood. Have a great day y'all.
Lol, I would have just stuck the de-header on the side of a tree 😁
The woman that kept us while mama worked, she would hang em on the clothes line upside down and just go down the line with a meat clever. 😁
Yea, need to keep sharp blades. You can send them off to be sharpened, or do your own. You will know when it's time by how hard it gets to cut the wood. You'll get the feel for it.
If the blade gets hot and stretches more than normal, which allows it to flex more, it can break.
You can also tell what boards may warp and which won't by how much they kick out, or up, when they are cut loose from the log. Not sure how cedar does, but hard woods will do that sometimes.
God bless you all and keep you safe
Good job on the rack.........presentation.......good
When not in use for the poultry you can use it as a hanging drying rack. From the UK x
Sian Bentley good for drying quilts/ blankets.
@@marymarysmarket3508. Perfect 👌 💕.
That is a good use for it
Turned out perfect! 👊
When the time comes you could also put a cone on the opposite side and slightly stagger them ☺
Yes that is exactly right thats why I made it a little wider for later modification
You can sharpen the old blade and weld it back together and reuse it. It will last a long time. Could also put cones on both sides. Just put a wedge to tilt them away from each other. Or add a block for a spacer.
Sawer ridge farm
Ceder smells great. Keep up they great work. Love watching u all
Great butcher stand ,WOW ! Color of that Cedar Beauteeeeful
Awesome work and stay safe working with the sawmill. God bless
That Cedar wood sure is pretty. The stand turned out great and the price was right.
That frame would make a great target stand.
Here in Indiana lumber is so scarce. It’s awesome you can use the trees on your land.
Saw mill never stops amazing one. Wonders are yet to come with 'you all's' imagination.
Very nice! And hey...cedar lasts longer than treated lumber and looks SOOOO much better! Great job! Hubby built us a processing stand..yeah on the can't get treated wood! But we had an old sink (70/30) and just hooked up to garden hose and put in a sprayer...there was a sheet of heavy glass here when we bought the place, so it fit perfect...easy clean/disinfect and the sink sure is nice to have...its taller than one of the plastic tables we used before...I can stand at the right height to remove innards and clean instead of having to bend over...may plan on building a processing stand next!
I need something like that for in front of my trailer to mount my military flags on.
They told my husband on the same mill it only is meant to be used 5 hr run time on his woodland mill. His broke and he called the technician bc he noticed his belts were wearing uneven he told him what to do and we couldn't believe the run time on blade wasn't longer. U my want to order some blades long before u need it took ours 2 wks to come in and lots of their stuff is back ordered
Hello Jacob and Alex hope y'all are doing well. Nice setup cedar post look great. Stay safe sending prayers 🙏 and God's blessings. Much love and big tx hugs from South Tx
Hi Guys, great job glad your getting good use of the mill. I think Jason should contact the mill company and maybe ask for a carbide tip blade for the mill really long lasting. for all the demo advertising they're getting. Just a thought 🤔🇨🇦 Craig
Again Thumbs Up for another Brilliant Video,Love you guys from the UK.
Such a wonderful resource to have on your land!
My dad, granddad and great uncle were all lumber men and I'm quite sure these portable saw mills were never ever happen. My dad use rollers in his mill for the wood that was cut, to fall off and stack up on the ground.
The mill works pretty darn good. The cedar is beautiful. I'm sure your stand is going to work out very well for you. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
Well it's nice now but the wood is still green now too .
You need to give it time to see how its goes now.
You may want to start thinking about drying the wood it not hard at all and you have most of the things to do it now.
As allways Godbless yall.
Very good design Jacob...you are a amazing for doing stuff like this. All if you have a wonderful day and God bless 💗👍😁
you could take the cones off to clean then put them back on and just tarp it till you use it again then its all ready to go.
Another project that can make you extra income -- people will buy! Shade cloth can be used to help control flies, etc. You didn't mention using a bucket under the cone, to catch discards and blood. (Taller buckets help with drip splatter, but are heavier.) Many cover the area with dirt...to amend the soil. God Bless!
*** ooops -- the used work area
Jacob it’s definitely prettier than regular old wood bet it smells really good as well Jason’s a good guy bless you all 🙏🏼
Water must be running when saw mill blade is running...it cools down the metal and cutting friction that builds up...Great video...my meat birds go to freezer camp on September 20th...Cedar is great to use for those projects since you have the trees...Cheers from Maine
Nice work. Thanks for sharing. 🐔🐔🐔🐔
Makes sense ... if the water isn't running well, the blade's gonna heat up ... and we all know that hot metal bends and breaks way easier than cold/water-chilled metal.
If the blade is still good, sharp, I've had mine re-welded
I always enjoy seeing what you make out of the cedar.
I really enjoy watching your videos
Jacob has facial hair! I just noticed..... great idea on the stand 🤗🙏
Hi. Consider building a drying rack for your lumber. Maybe use a water seal on this piece where you will be spraying water on it because of the chicken blood. Lesś chance of bacteria growth. Build a veg processing table with a sink that just drains into a bucket for used water, then rewater your plants with it. Less mess in kitchen. Make an outdoor kitchen, use it for processing, cooking n canning big batches of things. All that corn you're growing which has to be processed ( messy job ) quickly after picking to keep its sweetness. Most importantly, your closets lined with your cedar. Looking forward to your projects n builds. Peace to you and yours
Not sure if your doing it or not, but one thing I have found is when your not using the sawmill, loses the tension on the blade. That helps to make them last longer.
That probably would help
Jason should collect all the wood shavings and spred them at his tiny house to combat the tick problem. JS
Looks good, now just put it standing over your compost pile while your doing your processing. It's great for the compost.
You probably already know but just in case... you can have corrosion problems using two different metals. If the nuts and bolts are not stainless as well. Just a thought since your dealing with food processing. Great content. Love your videos. Hubby has made several garden boxes and we love them.
Thank you Nancy for the tip
Your stand for your chickens turn out really nice,I agree that if you ever wanted to do turkeys that a bigger cone would be nice,you did a great job. God Bless you both.🙏
Thank you linda
You folks are great
Good morning Jacob and Alex👍👍💗💗
When I first saw the stand I thought it would be great for hanging plants, or running vines up the posts, or both? Like an arbor? Also, those 4X4X2" blocks can be made into insect repellents for closets by adding a hook to hang up with. I've seen them for $7 or $8 at target. You refresh the smell by sanding a little. I thought of sachets too. Nothing goes to waste. Next ,I'm Really interested in seeing the garlic and onion braiding.
I love watching you two. God bless you and keep you safe. The name Swee'p is my dogs name. its short for swee'pea.😳
The cedar is really pretty wood..
Beautiful!
The stand looks great, I’d hang flower baskets from it if it was not in use.
I don’t know if you watch the you tube channel Justin Rhodes but he made a drying rack for the processed chickens it made the bagging really easy made with PVC kind of like a boot stand.
It looks like your going to have a great setup for those birds.
Your channel is growing and people like you because your real, kind and honest in all your dealing. That’s lovely to see. All the best blessings in all you do.
The pieces you are cutting off the 4x4 would make some nice coasters.
Yes they would be
All you can build with all that beautiful cedar..
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
Outdoors with the Morgan’s has a you tube on that. They put Dawn and something else in theirs ( the water for the blade. Good channel for trees and saw milling.
I really like you processing station. I think it's a great design. Also great idea in making the kill cone removable to clean and store..
Love the concept of the dispatching station. I would put a tub of some type under where the cones are to catch the blood, that way you won't have it enticing predators.
Got a feeling Jacob & Alex already have something in mind for that...doesn't sound like their 1st Kill session & they've got friends they watched or talked to, I'm sure.
Beautiful work 👍
Turned out really good! Team work again, love it! Have a great weekend!!
Box in bottom so can fill with saw dust or pine shavings to catch blood i know you probably have catch bucket or something but shaving catch spatter or squirting then add to compost
I just watched your video on the raised beds you filled great tip. I liked the tip on the bucket handle I have had this happen now I can fix them. Thanks for all you do.
Sherrie that's awesome glad our videos helped you out
Awsome project.
Good idea. God bless.
Looks fantastic
Way cooler just ask the chickens😂🤣👍
Always learning on this channel. I like the stand that can be moved around and cones added. Smart concept. Milling your own lumber for the project doesn't get much better than that. Changing the sawblade the first time and it hasn't all been cedar, didn't Jason test it at his place on some hard wood?! The blade breaking could be related to the weak point in the band and if the water wasn't enough, maybe overheated. But you had a replacement and onto the next log. Have a great weekend. God bless you 🙏
Man! We need one of those saw mills!
Wow be safe
You guys that pretty yall watch fall line ridge he got some cool video of saw milling nice guy it seems
Keep up the good work.
A big part of owning & operating a sawmill is keeping a sharp blade. Normally a good quality blade will last through several sharpening procedures. You should have no difficulty learning, lots of videos and no special tools required. Also, Woodmizer in Mt Vernon, MO will sharpen blades for a charge. But with your abilities, and DIY attitude, it's a skill all real "sawyers" should have.
You should use washers on your cone. Just a hent.
When you purchase more cones, you may want to buy a large one so you can process turkeys. Using your bolt system, you could have three chicken cones and a couple of large cones storing the ones you don't need. I don't know how expensive they are.
Cones are about 20.00 each
If you and Jason were to maybe split the $2K for the trailer kit for the sawmill you can transport it between your property's.
I have a Woodland Mills and just purchased it and boy am I glad that I got it. Check it out. Maybe Woodland Mills will make you a deal!
Bill
That would be awesome and nice to have that!
By using cedar it might curve the smell of processing. Not a bad idea. Looks great.
Looks really good guys 👍
Kill Cones are not necessary. I grab my chicken by the feet hang upside down using twine and a tree branch to hang the chicken by the feet.
I do love your cedar stand.
I would add two more on that side and two larger ones on the opposite side for turkeys..js
I think I would put the other two kill cones on the opposite side.
He could even put them on the post too
SaltyStang i thought about that after I posted. I dont even think a bucket would help.
He could possibly get about 7+ more cones on that frame!!
Good morning swayer ridge farm and Jason.... if you add another long piece of wood to middle for buckets to hand and catch the blood instead of on the ground... just a idea
VERY nice, great idea
