    Deb is a one speed gal. But she is like the energizer bunny. She never stops. Slow and steady wins the race.
    Love the vids. Watching is cheaper than buying a Wood Mizer. Wish the vids had that wonderful wood smell.

      She is amazing, and is there every time.
      I hear ya on the cost. Thats how I am with heavy equipment. LOL
      Cherry has my favorite smell.

    Sorry to hear about your mill. Looked like you were making progress there my friend. Going to let you and Deb about my treatments. Had my second one today. They are having a hard time finding a vein. So now they are taking about installing a port. That will help a lot on me even when they do the stem cell treatments. Thanks for the prayers and friendship you show me. God bless you too.

    • @IronOakSawmill

      That was a bad time with the mill, but the wood mixer kept cutting.
      A port will make thing a lot easier on you. I'm an EMT with our local ambulance, and when the medic is trying to get a vein to give treatment pre hospital, its very disheartening. We want our patient to feel better, and if a port is available, it means we can help even more.
      We will continue to pray. There are advancements all the time. I think stem cells are amazing. Let us know how treatments are going.

      Hey Joel, A port would be less trouble. I had PICC line it had to be maintained every week. If I was to have treatment again I would ask for a port. May God hold you close strengthen you and bless you and give you courage to continue with the battle.

    Now that is some more stacks of lumber!😲 Great job guys!💪💪 I would have never known that the rail was still up on the one log. Good eyes from your customer spotting it. LOL, one sometimes needs the extra eyeballing. Take care and really enjoyed it!

    • @IronOakSawmill

      Those stacks would have been bigger if I could have pushed that motor a bit harder. Fire wasn't one of the things I wanted to deal with though.
      Not one of my best moment with the roller toe boards, but not a total lose. Ill be watching a bit closer.

    great videos so far. I have an idea for when your unloading logs why not use a couple straps on your loader bucket then you can put the logs where you want with out fighting with them.

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  3 роки тому

      Hello Cameron, and welcome to the mill. Our loader is too small, and can only safely lift about 400 pounds. We are just thankful that logs are round, for the most part, and we can roll them.

    I believe a little voice over during sawing, with type of wood, length, size, and what lumber you are trying to cut would be helpful to the viewer.
    I enjoy your videos. Maybe some timelapse would also shorten the videos.
    Keep up the good work.

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  4 роки тому +1

      Funny you should mention that. Others have said they wanted less talk, and no time lapse, because they wanted to hear and see the sawmill run like normal.

    I was surprised to see someone else doing that awhile back. WoodMizer never suggests it in the videos, they just expect you to trust the stanchions for square, but there are too many ways an accurate stanchion can be foiled.
    We started using the framing square about two months into our milling career.
    Nice having someone loading and hauling off the slash.
    At 1:16 I notice you were scraping sawdust again. Was that species change or blade change that caused that?
    Now you know why you don't have a manual mill. LOL Hope it's not too bad.

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  4 роки тому

      The square is the best way to keep things right. Marty Parson out at PA Wood Mizer showed me why you need the square.
      Once the mill feed slowed too much, the sawdust built up. Plus, we switched the blade from the vortex to a standard blade.
      We started with the LT15 manual mill. That thing kept us moving, but worked great.

  • @Comp670

    Really interested in the Vortex blade. We are new to sawing, only have 20 hrs on our LT35 we got a few weeks ago. I need to order some blades and was wondering if I should try the Vortex? Currently we have the 747 double hard 10* blades. We have 17 trees to saw up next week, half cedar and half douglas fir and hemlock.

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  4 роки тому +1

      The vortex cuts well, but its claim to fame is that it clears the sawdust from the kerf. No sawdust to clean from the boards for the most part.
      Otherwise, we saw with the 7° turbo blades. A great all around blade. We havent tried the 747 blades, but there seems to be alot of folks who like them.
      Try a box of the 7° turbo blades. I think you'll be happy.

    So what do you all do about the large amount of sawdust, that has overcome that mans drive way. How hard is that for you guys to restore the drive way? Or do you just shovel and sweep then call it good?

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  4 роки тому

      Hello, and welcome to the mill. In this case, this is our back yard, so we just push it into the burn pile with our loader. When we mill at the customers property, they have asked us just to leave the sawdust, and they would take care of it. Many use it for mulch, or mix it with garden soil.
      I guess we have been lucky. Everyone we have sawed for has taken care of clean up, after we have left the job.

    nice help your nieghbors low cost wood but............. you got a nasty ass driveway in the end right over your well .if cut a bunch green wood who will buy it its so need looking into turn your yard into a mill?? are you getting big ass orders for wood

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  3 роки тому +2

      We mill lumber and live edge slabs. We air dry them down to 10 to 12% MC. We can then sell them. We aren't milling over our well. That is a failed well on the property, where the casing remains. Plans for extending the mill area, and reclaiming our yard are progressing very well.
      We don't need big orders for wood, to do well. We are doing excellent as it is.
      I'm not sure why you are so bitter about another person's success, but I hope you can find happiness somewhere.
