Welcome back everyone, forgive my absence. I've been busy working on houses and other stuff. You all know my interests so I'm sure you'll understand my excitement. After years of wanting I was able to get a hydraulic sawmill. This is more of a welcome back video than anything else but what it means is lots of topics to discuss...in videos of course. I'm by no means retired, but I'm working towards being able to spend more time doing the stuff I do on this channel. This video features taking delivery of my mill and doing my best not to hurt it and myself. This video doesn't go into many specifics, just an overview of the first month of owning it. We'll be getting down to business in the next video building a sawmill shed to protect the mill and myself from the elements. - Навчання та стиль
Wish I had a sawmill too. But I don't use enough wood for that to make sense for me.
Hey mister....you either a farm boy or a big city boy. Just kiddin, sometimes life makes decisions for us. To bad you had to leave that riverside property. Now the only thing we city boys (born in small towns) can do is follow some "crazy" youtuber playing with the "toys" we can't have. Childhood or over again.
Early on I was going to get a manual mill and was interested in Woodland Mills, a Canadian company. They have a lot of nice features that I think you would appreciate and the line ranges from $2,300 to $6,300. The largest mill seems very capable.
People do all kinds of stuff that doesn't make sense............that's me encouraging you.
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 Just in case you didn't know who you're replying to, Matthias is a one of the most innovative Canadian woodworkers alive. Amongst many original designs he's also credited with designing the common pantorouter - can't recommend his content enough. It would be like Tony Hawk watching you skate and complimenting your skateboard. My fav woodworkers interacting is something I didn't know I needed haha.
It is always a trip when you see two of your favorite You Tubers know each other!
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 Nice, with lumber prices, the way they are. Not a bad idea.
......and now you know why house projects take awhile. This gentleman is not a one trick pony!
Amazing work!
Ha, yes. I get a lot of arm chair renovators telling me I take too long.

This is the first time I ever saw wood being milled on a mobile sawmill. Very cool. Very impressed. I like watching your channel because you seem like just a normal guy with normal ideas and you are not concerned about being famous on your channel, just living your life doing the things that make you happy, while using and improving your talents. This is way better than supposed "reality television." Hollywood has got nothing on you and you put out clean, interesting, educational and entertaining subject matter. You would be a great educator of school-aged boys and young men, teaching them how to use their hands and minds to add to society without expecting anything but respect in return. What you could teach them is more fun and exciting than any video game could ever offer. I tip my hat to you my friend. God Bless you and yours.
I get excited just buying a new drill. Well done sir! 😀
Same here man, just trying to buy a Drill & a Chainsaw too, but I don't know for what I'm going to use the Chainsaw though, LoL.
When watching these videos, getting sudden urge to buy a Chainsaw
Want stuff
Work
Get stuff
Merica!
Hard work pays off. Well done!
Thanks!
Omg the wobble walk after the branch fell. I bet your wife had a heart attack, I know I would have. Glad you're okay. otherwise this video is very relaxing 👍
I was down in the woods on my own....so she didn't have to see it. I opted to lie about how it happened and just said I walked into a stick.
I would love to see more Homestead style videos when you get the time!
Thats the plan
Glad you’re alright, those widow makers are no joke.
Yes, they call them that for a reason!
From someone who's been enjoying your videos for a couple years now: put that bucket on every time. I appreciate you showing us this. The reason why PPE is required in the industry is because people die even from random little branches that break off. When you're picking up a new skill there is a confidence curve that shoots right up in the beginning and quickly comes back down when you've been humbled by something like this or have seen a near miss. I love your ideas. Have you started talking to your local tree services and sawmills to see how you can work together and grow the pie?
Looking forward to the solar kiln build video :-)
Yeah boy- tractor, sawmill, sawmill shed, solar kiln, grapple, all the big boy toys & I get to watch! Thanks for sharing with us & keep it safe 👍👍
Getting there. Thanks
Man. I’m so happy you got that mill. You’re going to love it and it’s going to make milling a billion times faster.. this, more time for family, videos, or whatever you wish. Great to see you making smart investments 👍👍👍
You get to have all the fun! It has always amazed me the beauty of the wood hidden in simple trees that we pay very little attention to driving by or walking around in the woods. Then to turn that wood onto most anything we want or need. Shelter, furniture, tools just to name a few! Thanks for sharing . Wish you could share the smell of the fresh cut wood.
I like it all but some wood is not as pleasant as many would think... but its a good stink to me.
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 I do woodworking half the time with raw wood (I didn’t cut it down). Even cutting it to work with it looks and mostly smells good.
You are awesome mate, love seeing how you’ve built this from such humble beginnings
Thanks
I love everything about this video. I happy for you and your new "toy". Very nice. And there's nothing like watching piles of brush and wood burn. It was one of my favorite things as a kid, watching my father burn brush piles. Thank you.
Using a leaf blower as a bellows... Nice! I'll have to remember that one.
Wow! How awesome to be the first to see the insides of those logs then turned into usable lumber. Fun to see what you build. (And no more watching the backbreaking removal of those tree/slabs from that property). I'm so happy for you!
Thank you
Congrats on the saw mill, you're living my dream!
Congrats on the new Timber King. It was fun watching you cut and mill those trees.
Stay safe and thanks for the video.
Did I ever happen to mention how happy it makes me to see you on your family's land!! Fantastic Mill Bud. Watched every min.(including branch for Heaven) & enjoyed every min. What better way to end than wit FIRE!!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Mike, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It makes me happy to be there. I liked the fire ending as well. I was concerned it may be a boring ending but it felt like a good place to end.
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 It was!! Excited to see Shed built. I know you won't disappoint.
You are having so much fun! I'm happy for you!
Really nice mill. Good honest work, nothing like it for satisfaction.
Just two guys talking about wood
Great
I own a small forest and i walk around in it and do the same
Love the videos
Keep it up!
I think other people thought that was some sort of dirty joke about "wood"..it was supposed to be funny but it really was just two guys (me and my dad) talking about the boards and all the stuff you could do. Glad you saw it for what it was. Thanks for watching.
I'm excited to see that you're able to add these things that will make your woodworking easier and more convenient for you. I'm looking forward to seeing more on this channel. Also, I wish I could smell that wood being milled!
Glad to see some activity in this channel!! Be well from Canada! 🇨🇦
Congratulations!! I love both of your channels, and I so appreciate your common sense, your work ethic, the underlying sense of dedication to family that underlies everything you do, and how much you value the truly beautiful things in this life.
Really enjoyed watching this on TV. Had to come back on my phone and say you did a fine job. Glad that widow maker didn't do too much damage.
And you my friend have just jumped in the rabbit hole. Wish my mill was as nice as yours. But I'm happy with it, so congrats to you and welcome to the club. Glad to see you back too.
Your videos are a pleasure to watch...and learn from.
Yeah yeah yeah! That saw mill is massive. I can't wait to see what else you cut up.
Neither can I
seeing you out in near-pitch blackness with the caption "Later that evening... on my own..." made me laugh out loud. i know that feeling!!!
Glad to see you back
My father would be super jealous of all your toys. Cheers to you.
That looked like so much fun!
Congrats! You worked so hard to get here, you have definitely earned it!
Dude that's awesome! I'm excited for you. Can't wait to see more milling action!
I'm so happy for you! Very satisfying.
Thank you
Nice to see you back again the best for2021 greetings from the Netherlands
Awesome, simply awesome! I so enjoy all of your content on the various channels, you are an inspiration to all of us, in what can be done with hard work and a plan. The tractor was a game changer at that juncture in your evolving life, the sawmill is another step in that direction with reducing the cost of your wood supply, the next step I expect to see you making is a 10-15,000 lb Mini-Excavator to prepare foundations, remove stumps and move around those heavy logs or clean up the brush piles. Congratulations on your purchase, I am sure all your subscribers are excited for you. Thanks for taking us along on your journey, god bless!
An excavator with a thumb is something im interested in. Just need to find a good deal.
This is some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen....
Congrats on the new mill. Looking forward to more videos
Happy to see your progress into a more mechanized process! Congratulations on reaching this point in your goals!
Thank you
A new toy I love it, great work you’ve worked hard for it.
Congrats! I have a woodmizer lt40 it’s a blast having a sawmill.
Super super interesting. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks
Always a joy to watch how hard you work and to glimpse your determination. Hope you had some great home-cooked meals after all that physical labor. May God bless you, your family, and our country. (Wow .. lots of chemtrails ... where you are at.) Thanks for sharing .... LOL to your "wood" jokes ....
Glad you enjoyed the video
What an incredible machine! Thanks for putting the extra effort into filming this beautiful videos!
Glad you like them
Glad to see you back. Good luck with your new mill; I'm glad you were able to get such a nice machine. Living here in the City, if the backyard fire pit got 8" high, the neighbors would be calling the fire department!! DD
I enjoy watching you work with wood. You are very talented in your craftsmanship ship making things. Welcome Back ! 👍👍😊
Thank you very much!
Glorious. I smell a sequel coming! Everyone should find someone who looks at them the way you look at that mill.
Yes, after months of work, I will boil it down to about 20 minutes or so where people can enjoy it from the comfort of their home.
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 well you have so many projects, I don't know where you get the energy. Love your content, and your hilarious as always.
Good to see you as industrious as ever.
This is great! I am happy to see you adding to your tool inventory. This will add loads of content for future videos.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to making more videos on it.
Awesome video sir I've got the same Sawmill they are awesome mine is about 5 years old when you build your solar kiln think about building it on a trailer it makes it nice to move around and to adjust it to the seasons look forward to seeing the next video
Welcome back, homie! Looking forward to watching you create some stellar stuff with the new mill. I'll just be sitting over here, all jealous...
Great to see you again!! You're an inspiration.
Thank you
Been watching for a couple of years now . It is great to see you furthering your projects and realizing your dreams :)
Thank you
As a long time follower of yours, congratulations. Well earned. I will miss watching you struggle with massive logs as I often do.
-Ben
Still struggle to get them when i get them out of peoples yards. Just went and got some nice white oak and maple.
Congratulations I know it’s been a long time coming. Can’t wait to see more videos with this mill
Thanks man, good to hear from you.
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 anytime. I know that tractor is a life saver.
Another great video! Thank you for your videos. Roger
Glad you like them!
Watching your channels is like watching a tv series and I eagerly have to wait for the new episode a week later. Fantastic videos with wealth of knowledge. By the way I will be sampling some of your background music. God bless.
Thank you
I would enjoy more sawmill videos just cutting up lumber in general. Very soothing in a way. Love your videos.
Thanks
Wow1 can't wait to see the beautiful projects you'll do with that wood. You are the first one I've seen wash the logs first. I imagine that helps keep your blade sharp, getting the dirt out! Be safe!
You are doing right by learning on the dead stuff. I had the bright idea to learn on a walnut log. Still used it but I could have gotten more yield. I built a roof over the mill end and the rest is open to the weather. I built kinda like a post a beam frame with skids so when I build the permanent structure I can drag this somewhere else and park something under it.
That was what I was planning but it keeps getting more and more involved.
Congrats on the new equipment! Nice that you were able to put it to good use so quickly.
Thanks, it is satisfying to see those boards coming off so soon after it showed up.
He's back!
Hope all is well.
That is an amazing Mill!! Good for you! So excited to see what you are up to now. :) Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.
Thank you.
congratulations on your new acquisition!
I miss your woodworking videos. Hope there’s more to come!
working on one now
That is a nice mill. My 2020 will be ready in August.
I came over here from your other channel. You got to have an amazing work ethic to get so much done. I’m encouraged to see people like yourself succeeding at multiple business ventures.
Thank you Jon
Awsome dude love the mill ,lots of tables in them trees
Indeed
Outstanding!
Nice mill!! Good job!
Good to see you back pal, excellent video, as a know nothing I always wondered why people can the other way when felling trees. Now I know! Regards Jim UK.
I like video's like these. Plenty of subjects to think about. :) Love to see the steps in building your structures in the future and info on why you choose to use which species for which parts.
Thanks for the informative ride along,
Sincerely ............................

As for ideas... based on watching the "Canadian Woodworks channel I would think you want a cantilevered structure so that the one side is wide open for tractor access? It's not as simple as just throwing up some posts and walls then! Gravel pad underneath to keep down the mud? Great to see the introduction reminding us of how far you've come. I remember some of those earlier videos. This thing looks like a beast for handling logs.
I'm thinking about covering the entire thing now with openings on both sides for loading max length logs (24 feet) Called yesterday about LVL's, I can do a 28 foot span using three of them together...but lumber prices make me sad right now.
I’ve been here since the start you’re the man
I sure like that tractor. We got a old massy it works but wow that green one looks great...
When I was a kid, I had a copy of "The American Boy's Handy Book", a late 19th century publication which was full of cool projects. When you set aside that slab at 3:27 it took me straight back to that, because one of the projects I always wanted to try and never could involved the very first slab cut from a large log -- just like that one.
It was a slab canoe. You take one of those slabs with the bark on it, drill four holes in the top and use those to support the legs of a stool at one end. The seat of the stool was another bit of slab. Then you shove it into a lake and paddle away. It looked so cool. I used to dream about riding it across the lake in the local park. But as a suburban kid in the late 20th century, I had no access to the materials. Ah, well ...
Dude, I had watched your home renovation. Videos, but I had no idea about this (I think this is a separate) channel. You are living my dream, and I love it. Great inspiration.
I need to mention my different channels at the beginning of videos. Glad you found it, lots of videos.
I need to mention my different channels at the beginning of videos. Glad you found it, lots of videos.
This must be so exciting for you. Definitely a game changer and a force multiplier. Congrats
With the tractor and the mill I feel like I can do just about anything.
wow that is satisfying to watch. You are gonna have a lot of fun with this!
Thanks
That is a very nice machine. Well done.
Thanks
good to see that your stll working and making a dream come true , you don't fart around, i have a woodmizer but timberking is for sure a great mill to have in your possesion, i knew when you bought that tractor it was only the beginning lol
Great video! Watched it from beginning to end.
Thank you
Timberking is a great company. I have been abusing a 1220 manual mill for almost 3 years now. There are few things more satisfying than milling a log. Looking forward to more mill videos.
Satisfying is a good word to describe it. To go from a log to usable lumber in such a short amount of time is very cool. Seeing the lumber being made as well as all the ideas it gives you.
This video makes me so happy! I feel like maybe a little how you felt getting your new tool! I love it! It’s so great!!! I want to come help! You deserve it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm happy that you are happy about me being happy. Perhaps one day I'll come out of hiding and do some sort of event once the place is a little more established.
That's a great mill, Bro, as it will pay for itself with the unbelievable cost of lumber today.
If you don't catch "out of the woods" you should. A lot of tips there.
Congrats,
Lee
Thanks. I’ve enjoyed many of his videos as well.
Great addition! You'll have fun with that! I mean get a lot of work done..
Uhhh yea, work, that's right. That's what I tell my wife...fortunately she can't hear me singing while using it.
Congratulations on the sawmill. I really enjoy watching the material being cut. You will get a lot done, with your own source of wood. Good luck.
Thanks
After 7 long months, lot of thanks from far far away country Sri Lanka.
Congratulations!
Thanks
Very happy for you - it’s been great to see you grow your own opportunities. Was initially wondering why not a bigger sawmill like Cremona but the speed and luxury of yours is phenomenal!
I heard it best described by someone as "A lot of people get obsessed by max this and max that but what you really want is a mill that does well at what you will be doing most often" Which in my case is milling average size logs into common lumber. For me this is 1 inch or so boards of varying width. With Matt Cremona's mill, he seems to be specializing in slabs so having the width of cut is necessary most all of the time, making his mill perfect for him. Mine is a good mix of both. It can handle a 39 inch log by 24 feet long. That's about as big as anything I'm going to get on average. If I find something bigger and want it, I have my chainsaw mill which works great as you can just go to the log and mill it and not have to move it whole.....but it is loud. Thanks for watching.
Man your setup is badass... i love that mill.. would love to do what you are doing .. that machine defiantly makes more than boards. great work.. cant wait to see your construction. .. I saw a shed that had a mill in it made from timbers mill from the very mill it housed... really cool... wish i had one ... keep up the awesome work .. J
That's the plan, still working on it but the mill is making al the lumber.
This makes so much sense ... owning your own sawmill. Be careful though!
Wow, that's a super nice mill for personal use! I just got a manual bandsaw mill I'll be using to mill lumber if my property to build a house.
It’s personal use with the bonus of income.
wow nice !! congratulations on the new Mill .I Know it will make things allot easier and more efficient in your work . I Hope you and your family are doing well..
A lot easier. We are indeed doing well.
Just discovered your channel and I’m enjoying it very much. I like that you lay out your long term plans and dreams and systematically realize them on your channel. I’m at the beginning of this process myself; my brother lives on 90 acres of wooded property in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. He’s got a Kubota tractor and we’re planning to buy a sawmill soon (probably Woodland Mills) and construct a pole barn for him and then a Timberframe cabin for me. Anyway, please keep the videos coming; very much enjoying the content. All the best to you and yours. Congrats on the Mac Daddy Sawmill. Those Timberkings are built like tanks. - Bill
The woodland mills bandmills are nice from what ive seen. I almost bought one last year, the Hm130 max.
Grats on the Mill!
Thank you
