Great work making the most out of odd size lengths! It all adds up. @5:34 Gotta love dogs n their sticks! I used to salvage lumber from skid/crate materials at work, & had to play a game with my retriever every time. "Accidentally" had to drop a short piece of 2x4 so she could steal it, n I could keep working...every load, every time, but it kept her happy. Really LIKE that shed/door set-up!
Thank you, we appreciate it! Finally someone else with a dog that loves to steal wood! Yes those large doors on our mill shed were luckily a successful first attempt, but wish we let the lumber season more before building it!
Great content, I'm surprised you're not getting more views. Love what you've done with the whole saw mill shed set up, but you might want to think about using hearing protection, might seem unimportant now, but you'll miss it when it's gone.
Thanks! Yeah we started wearing hearing protection and safety glasses. Easy to forget when you’re trying to get something done but we’re getting better
Thank you! It wasn’t anything fancy, built it directly from fresh sawn lumber right when I bought the mill before we learned all the tricks of drying lumber but it actually seasoned much better than expected!
Wow, I love the extension you added to your mill on the trailer! We have a WM on the extended trailer and I've been wondering how we might do just that. I was thinking we'd need to just buy all new track and move the mill head back and forth between the trailer and the stationary track, but your extension is genius! How hard was it to get it all to line up perfectly? I imagine that pouring a concrete base was an essential aspect of making sure it would stay level. I'm also curious about how you managed that wide of an open span. Could you fill us all in on how you spanned it safely and what kind of snow load that will carry? Can you still get the mill on the trailer out of there, or is it permanently in there now? Do you have a video on the kiln you made? That's pretty boss as well. Way to go! Wish I could turn back the clock about 40 years and do exactly what you guys are doing... Great content guys, I'm binge watching!
Thanks and glad you’re enjoying the content! It wasn’t too bad getting it lined up perfectly because the extension still sits on leveling feet, concrete slab is a must as well!we don’t get too heavy of snow storms by us, typically around 24” at most but haven’t had any issues with it. We used (3) 30’ lvl beamed and ledgered them together to make one giant header, it sags slightly in the middle but definitely really strong!
Sometimes they are shot if you hit a big enough nail or bolt that break off teeth on the blade, but luckily these were small enough the only dulled them and can be resharpened
@iancrump2130 sorry about the pronunciation. We’re a little rough around the edges and are trying to get better about being safer and using the right words or tools for the job but we have a lot to learn. We’re not professionals nor do we pretend to be so this probably won’t be the last time we pronounce something wrong or do something incorrectly but we appreciate the feedback. We’re mostly just brothers building something we think will be cool and hope to inspire others to do the same. Thanks for watching!

That's at great looking shed for you saw.
I just toss band saw blades on the ground to unfold them, it's much safer.

Once you lose your hearing, there is no going back. Protection and prevention is cheaper than being deaf.
what?
And it's not necessarily the real loud noises that damage your ears, some electric motors are at a frequecy that damages your hearing.
Handsome, strong, adorable dogs, and great content! What more could a girl need! Definitely subscribing and watching more!
Thanks! Much appreciated!
I love your safety loafers 😮
Love your videos
What a great job, you made the most horrible logs look good!
I got SO ITCHY when you sawed through that termite nest.
Haha understandable, thanks for watching!
Carbide blade would work well with any nails.
Is a blade just shot right away if you
Hit a nail?
Sometimes they are shot if you hit a big enough nail or bolt that break off teeth on the blade, but luckily these were small enough the only dulled them and can be resharpened
It's not tea non. It is 10 on. Makes you sound less knowledgeable.
