- Today we are milling lumber from pine trees we cut down from our land, the quality is unbeatable! Yes it takes time, but its just like growing your own food, there is no comparison to the end product. We are using our WoodMizer Lt15 making 2x8x16 boards for an exciting building project in our future!

Great job on the video!
Obviously this is not your first rodeo Andy, Ya got me drooling over all that lumber!
Complete respect!❤ Y'all have a gold mine sitting right there!😁 Bless you for bringing us along.❤
thank you
I don't know which of your videos is the best, but this one was great. Many thanks for taking the time and effort to share your family life with us.
Thank you so much!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watching you both working together with the kids included.....it's PRICELESS MEMORIES you are making while doing work on the farm.
That was a really fun outing you shared with us. That saw is a money saver every time you mill your own lumber. You all did a great job out there. Stay safe and continue these fun outings where you all work together. Fred.
Another awesome video. Keep em coming
Pride in your work is priceless... respect for the craft and for the beautiful wood, and tools that you care for to produce the quality product..
You certainly can't buy that at Lowes..
That was beautiful to watch …… just remarkable how it’s done…..
it’s just beautiful and the pride you have in your work it’s amazing!!! Great job
I really enjoy watching your videos God bless.
Really enjoyed the video, you are just a natural born teacher, it's great how you let your son help, experience he can't learn from a book. Great job 👍👍
Team True Grit~! wonderful job~! pretty wood for sure~!
I’m beginning to think all you get at Lowes is culls . I go with my husband sometimes to get boards and even I can tell they aren’t great. Plus EXPENSIVE! I love the look of those boards. No substitute for workmanship. I also appreciate your respect for the natural resources. Big industry has no idea what that involves.
it sure seems that way!
Fine work!
Yeah boy, this looks like fun
Beautiful boards.
I grew up in north central Minnesota. My dad had a select cut hardwood logging business and we also ran a Wood Mizer LT40 ban mill. I loved running that mill and sawing for grade. The smell of the wood and the beautiful red and white oak, red elm and black ash boards coming off the mill were so nice to run your hands across and look at. The biggest challenge was having dirty logs and the band would start to dive down into the cut. I spent a lot of time sharpening bands and setting the teeth. After retirement I'd like to get a mill of my own and do some custom sawing just to keep busy doing something I enjoy. Thanks for sparking some old memories.
thanks! yep if that blade ain't sharp it'll do some crazy things!
You speak the truth. This country was built on rough sawn green lumber and now that the government has got involved it’s not worthy. It’s a lot of work to harvest and mill your own lumber but it’s so satisfying knowing you made that product. My only regret is not getting the bed extension when I ordered my mill, at the time I thought I wouldn’t need anything longer than 10 feet. Thanks for sharing
Yep most stuff i mill is between 12 and 16 foot so its been nice having the longer bed rails
@@TrueGritAppalachianWaysCan’t imagine what a 12 to 16 foot Oak 2x6 would weigh 😂. I’d like to find out though. Some of my 20 to 24 inch Oak I have to turn with my skid steer. I have several sawmill videos up , full on maple syrup for now though. Stay safe, have a blessed day
Awesome family work. Great wood. Thank y’all for awesome videos
❤ awesome ❤ I was wondering what you guys were up to this weekend 😂 Hi, Maggie, Hi, Jacob! Hey Jacob, I thought I was growing the biggest carrot 🥕 in the world! Turns out it was a mammoth dill plant ( the first one I ever planted & it grew) 😂😂 still learning at 53! P.S. I moved it & let it go to seed, 🤞🏼 for multiple plants this year ❤
It's simply fascinating watch how it turns the logs into long planks..
Beautiful wood..
Wonderful job working the machinery and getting everything done..
Much love and appreciation from Australia God bless you all
thank you
I love watching you all ! Thank You for sharing your life! ❤😊
You earned a loyal Subscriber! Great video! It is awesome to see others doing similar content as myself. We have a Wood-Mizer LT15 Standard with a 19HP Kohler. Having the sawmill along with starting up a UA-cam channel has made this adventure an absolute blast so far! Keep up the engaging content!
I enjoyed the video thank you
Good video I did enjoy it. That’s a good challenge. I love watching challenges. I love it.❤
You're right it's a crime that they don't let your user own milled lumber in your houses I had two fortunes I got milled up at a mill got them plain and then snuck them in when I got the contractor to frame my shop I let the wood sit for a year before I used it the framer didn't like it because back then you had a hammer and nails and it kept bending his nails but the inspector didn't even notice that it was my own lumber and I tell you it was good lumber got a lot of lumber out of that hose trees lot left over after I built my shop
I 💯 % agree with y’all on everything y’all do!!! Love the videos!!! It’s makes me want too do the same thing’s!!!!!
Wow, this is fascinating to watch. Thanks 🙏
Enjoy watching!
Those look like some real 2x8s not 8 by 1 and a 1/2. Or whatever it is, looks great!
Yep they're true 2x8s
You may want to recheck. Some places will allow you to build a house out of rough cut lumber. There once was an old wives tale circulating that it was illegal in the entire US but that's not the case. It's dependent upon local building inspectors and code for your area.
Alright Andy ! You were talking about stress in a tree and I bet that went right over some folk's head. Every time I cranked up my old mill I learned something I didn't know and I don't mind admitting it. THE very first tree that I ever sawed by myself(about 1989) I cut down an old wolf pine tree. The base log , I cut it 19.6 cause that's all the mill would cut. When I got that thing squared into a cant, it was 24 inches square and 19.6 long. I stood there and looked at it just a minute(that's a bid dadgum cant in today's world) I went and got me a bunch of wooden wedges and decided I would split that cant in half and shuck it all down to 1x12......don't ever do it that way..... anyhow, I started the cut and was putting wedges in the kerf just in case the top piece settled on the bottom ..... I ran out of wedges so I turned around to pull out the first ones I put in and there was a gap between the top and the bottom cants of about 10 inches.....I felt sick.... I just knew I had ruined the whole blasted log. I finished cutting it and you could have made rocking chair bottoms out of that tree for a 40 foot tall rocking chair. HAHAHAHa... I cleared the deck of the mill and set one of those rocking chair rockers up there and started cutting 1x12s. As I cut them the stress came out of the cant and EVERY piece straitened out and was as true as it could be .....That's 2 different kinds of LOG STRESS !! HAHAHAHA
Its amazing what wood under stress will do, thanks for sharing
I love this! My husband is the Wood-Mizer dealer in California and Nevada. We also own several and custom mill for people.
Thats awesome!
another great video, that Kubota is doin the job!!
yep it'll surprise ya sometimes haha
Good stuff
Here on Vancouver Island BC you can't even go to a mill and buy lumber from them because they ship it all away and then when the store number is from China or wherever it's all crappy wood so all the number one logs and lumber gets shipped out of the country and we get all the crap leftover after they process it now those shut down mostly all the mills here in BC is a great big barges with millions of logs on them going out of the country
Its a shame for sure
Really impressive. Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you were gonna film cutting it up. just another comment to help the channel grow.
Thank you!!
Hey Andy I sure know what you mean about the cost of lumber. I was in a Home Depot this May and noticed a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 plywood and with the sales tax it was $ 104.00 here in northern Ontario Canada . I also have a sawmill. 👍👍👍
I can see what God had in mind in the Garden of Eden Man woman offsprings working His creation with love and harmony.
Love this
Nice woods i mean the grains in your boards 😅😅
🌳
Hey Meghan, listen to Deep South Homestead 'no manure' You will find this one an eye opener..
yea we've seen that episode, but our manure is clean, we grow our own hay and know nothing has been sprayed on it
There are some interesting building videos of the utube channel thebossoftheswamp or OFF GRID HOMESTEADING, where Jim uses wood he harvested on his upstate rural New York property and on his New Hampshire mountain property.
I got the exact same mill.
I really like it
I live on a lot of acreage it's all Timber. So I make all my own Lumber. Red Oak Black Walnut Hickory Hickory and Maple
Do you cut full 2x8" or 1 1/2 x 7 1/2"
depends on what im going to do with them
Don't you capture your sawdust for composting?
no I usually just spread it back onto the land wherever im sawing
You definitely won't find any lumber that good at Lowes or Home Depot.
