As a fellow video-maker (and woodworker), I can appreciate how much work you put into your videos... Turning on and off and repositioning the camera a hundred times per video and the hours it takes to edit. Most people won't recognize the amount of labor that goes into creating nice videos like you make. A ten minute task might take an hour or more to film. You do a great job on your videos. Keep it up! Liked and subbed.
I appreciate that. A lot of work which sometimes puts me behind on my primary income which is my lumber business. Thanks for watching. Appreciate your time
Thats why I do not post, far too much work and slows the job considerably! I prefer to do my teaching one on one and those who do learn from me also understand! I earn nothing from teaching, just passing on the skills so they are not lost is ample reward!
I really like your videos. You really are very truthful about things that happen. I am new to becoming a sawyer myself. I have picked up a lot of pointers from your videos. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work.
I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos. Most people probably don't realize how much time it adds to what you're actually filming. I have a Woodland Mills HM 126 right now here in Oregon but ordered an LT 35 hydraulic on Monday. I guess I'll just have to keep watching your videos until my new mill is here in mid August.Thanks again!
I am a retired Heating engineer in the UK but how I would have loved to do what you do , the fabulous wood you produce and discover is so so so satisfying keep on keeping on, you are a great woodworker.
Hey Bud, I went ahead and voted for ya. I inherited an lt40 when Dad passed last year, and I'm getting ready to go through it and make sure everything is ready to go. watching your videos really make it to where I cant wait to get on mine and do some milling.
2005, My father bought it after katrina to cut wood from trees that fell at the hunting camp to help rebuild his house that drowned in new orleans. He must have cut enough to build 3 homes the following few years after the storm. He passed last year and left it to me.
Never judge a book by its cover....this is one example. That would make one sweet farm style table....worm holes and all....have a great weekend and happy father's day...
Reminds when I was younger helping my neighbor on his wood- mizer and smelling red oak like that and bigger in North East West Virginia. Thanks again for sharing !
surprisingly informative and enjoyable to watch. I actually learned something, usually, these videos are more or less nothing more than a glorified home movie. Thank you.
I’m new to the channel so Im watching everything! You might think that it is redundant but there is always someone new who knows absolutely nothing, like me. So keep posting and explaining the how and why of what you do as you go along. It makes it easier to follow along because you answer the question that I have at the time I have it.
As a recent woodworker, this is great education. I've heard about the things you are pointing out (Pith = bad, beautiful grain = pretty wood for furniture and other used, etc.) but seeing them as you cut, and why they natter is very interesting, and more, easier to understand. I appreciate the education. Thank You for your efforts and sharing your experience!
Another excellent video! I really enjoy your content, as it inspires me to be creative and many others too. Wood cutting/working is among the most gratifying past times we have on earth. I feel a primal connection when I smell lumber being used, I may be strange with my insight, but think others may agree. Thanks for your work sir!!!
Nathan, Thank you for educating me on the art of wood milling, I went to a vocational school for printing and ended up in fine paper distribution ie representing Paper Manufactures. So I am familiar with different types of woods used in paper mfg. You do a great job explaining how you decide to cut various types of logs and your reasons.I've recentey came across your channel and have watched about 20 or so of your videos. Keep up the good work also great choice of music. Cheers from San Francisco. A Veteran of The Republic of South Vietnam. December 1970-1971 282nd Assault Helicopert Company Blact Cats & Alley Cats, 3rd Platoon Alley Cats. @ Marble Mountain DaNang Vietnam.
Another vote for ya done. Love all your video, I don't think I could see to much milling. Your work area looks great after laying down the gravel, must be much nicer not having to work in mud. Happy Father's Day, I hope you have an awesome day.
Thanks for the videos learn something every time viewed, starting to use my mill now. Still operating tree service also so my time is limited. Air drying now but need good moisture that works. I voted.
Great job buddy. I have about 15 white and red oaks that I have stacked on runners that have been sitting for 2 years plus, getting ready to saw them in the next few weeks. Hope you have a happy father's day. Take care and as always be safe.
Thanks Terry, share some pics of the yield when you harvest those logs. I will share them on the channel. You have a good one also and I appreciate your time. Thank you for watching.
I think the worm holes add to the character of the wood...not retract from it. That ugly log sure did yeild some beautiful slabs. Another case of not judging a book by its cover.
You should see the axes , that a guy that has a sight , Called Green Mountain metal Detecting , Digs 1700 coins in Vermont , Leaves the hand forged Axes he digs , Could be cleaned and used , worth a lot more than the coins he digs
I am in the lumber business. You give allot of excellent information. I would like to know how you price all the different species and cuts. Rift, quarter sawn also how your labor is figured. Thanks
Just recently found and subbed your channel, really love this stuff ! You got a prize in that log, people love the wormy oak, makes it some high dollar stuff ! I had a feeling about it when you were saying how heavy it was. OK, so now I've got a lot of catching up to do on your videos so I better get at it ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Love your videos buddy. All of them. Being a carpenter when wood is involved of course you have all my attention. Keep up the fantastic work. I am curious where your power comes from to run your hydraulics when your motor is turned off. Thanks for all you do.
I can't seem to be able to watch only one of your videos. The music at one point was reminiscent of the theme to Twin Peaks, it would be a gas if you could use some of the original song 😄😄
Can I ask you so I can skip ahead, what do you mainly do with your timber, meaning use, as I will get to that but it always been a thing in my life with timber but I don't think there are many other things that match the beauty of timber, its strength, and beauty of grain. Stay safe and keep the good work coming
I either use them for my own furniture building needs or sale them to other craftsman. Right now I am starting to mill some hemlock into some nice beams for a building project. I will video that process also.
I'm new to your channel but wow I'm hooked been watching you videos for a while now and I just cant believe what I have been missing. See I'm a walnut logger in Missouri well retired do to health reasons but I cant tell you how many nice big crotches that no body wanted that where just left behind it makes me sick to think what I could of had. And to see what great work you are doing with your walnut Thanks for the videos and keep on milling my friend
Mine wasn't that high when I got it. I got the 35 when they first came out in 2011. They have gone up a lot since then but to answer your question, yes this machine will pay for its self and has. Thanks for watching..
no problem. I have found the best way to be profitable with this mill is not milling logs for other people but to sale high quality wood/slabs to woodworkers,
You have a machine that's worth around $22,000 .... I'm just curious .... about how much time and money do you spend (yearly) maintaining it? ............. JRW
Out of the Woods ok i got your video mix up with another one i was watching you do good work with your videos and with your mill i am looking to get me one soon i learn a lot from watching you videos thanks and keep up the good work that walnut is some beautiful wood

Thanks. Appreciate it.
like the way your videos show closeups of the cuts and your explanations of why you do what you do. Great job !
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Sure is nice to see how much you’ve grown in sawing and the equipment sir!
yes
Wormy red oak, that would be perfect for the Stickley style computer desk build I have in my head.
yes wormy red oak is very nice!!
Hey Bud, I went ahead and voted for ya. I inherited an lt40 when Dad passed last year, and I'm getting ready to go through it and make sure everything is ready to go. watching your videos really make it to where I cant wait to get on mine and do some milling.
good deal, what model year is it? The lt40 is a work horse! Thanks for your help!
2005, My father bought it after katrina to cut wood from trees that fell at the hunting camp to help rebuild his house that drowned in new orleans. He must have cut enough to build 3 homes the following few years after the storm. He passed last year and left it to me.
Thats one heck of set of pipes, sounds like a rank of 64 footers wow
You are fun to watch and listen to
Thanks for watching
Never judge a book by its cover....this is one example.
That would make one sweet farm style table....worm holes and all....have a great weekend and happy father's day...
That was my thoughts also, nice table build in the future,
you too Robert, have a good one friend,
Great job OTW!!!! Headed to vote.......
+Mike Cabe thanks. I appreciate the help

I've been to the Asheville Hardware store. Awesome store and a very cool town. Glad to see your log yield some good lumber.
Thanks, I was very pleased with the yield. Almost didn't grab the camera for this one, I figured it would be a loss.

Great job buddy. I have about 15 white and red oaks that I have stacked on runners that have been sitting for 2 years plus, getting ready to saw them in the next few weeks. Hope you have a happy father's day. Take care and as always be safe.

Great video, you should have a bigger following, you make great videos,

Thanks Ken! I appreciate your time!
you can sort the lumber worm holes no defect
Voted for you again. Great video.
+Chris Johnson thanks. I appreciate the help
+Leon Horne 👍
I'd keep that blade burn and incorporate it in whatever I was designing and building. It's actually very cool well to me at least.
Thanks for the video. Sure makes me think I'd like to get a mill and go in business.
Love your videos buddy. All of them. Being a carpenter when wood is involved of course you have all my attention. Keep up the fantastic work. I am curious where your power comes from to run your hydraulics when your motor is turned off. Thanks for all you do.
battery powered,
I can't seem to be able to watch only one of your videos.
The music at one point was reminiscent of the theme to Twin Peaks, it would be a gas if you could use some of the original song 😄😄
One of my fav shows
Nice axe...I use a husqvarna 357!
+TheWoodguru63 thanks!
If that wood has been cut and laying for 2 - 3 years, does it still need to be kiln dried? Enjoy these videos and I voted again. Have a good weekend.
+gslope1 yes. Need to kill all the insects and bug larva. Thanks for the vote! I appreciate the help!!!!
I want a burger Pal's... I miss Kingsport.
Haha has a hot dog from there yesterday. Hard to beat

I either use them for my own furniture building needs or sale them to other craftsman. Right now I am starting to mill some hemlock into some nice beams for a building project. I will video that process also.
Have you cut up the log where the cherry and oak were growing together? I am really interested in seeing how that turns out.
+James Brummett soon haven't cut down that tree yet.
I was hoping you would show us the center part of the board that you cut out.
+Larry Ehrlich I hoped to but lost some footage in the sawdust. Thanks for watching
i would love to help you on the mill. im a woodturner , so keep all the gems for us too. thank you for your info.
Thanks for watching,
I come across some good wood turning wood sometimes.
do you ever see any osage orange?
+Brent Hagen its around but haven't came across any yet.
I have a question about if you look for metal with some form of detector ? I have no experience or knowledge . But I want to some day.
you can get the same sharpener from woodland mills for a lot less
+jackfoo2 👍
I wish your video's where longer
yeah, hard sometimes, I have to make a living at what I do and the videos are secondary, thanks for watching,
...They call it Wood Mizer!
Whatever it cuts...
Makes a bench or a hutch!
Its too much!!
Bah dah dah dah, daaahh dah!..
Which metal detector do you use for finding nails in wood?
not sure on the brand, they sale them at woodcraft,
Do you flatten the slabs before sending them to the hardware store?
No
👍
I'm new to your channel but wow I'm hooked been watching you videos for a while now and I just cant believe what I have been missing. See I'm a walnut logger in Missouri well retired do to health reasons but I cant tell you how many nice big crotches that no body wanted that where just left behind it makes me sick to think what I could of had. And to see what great work you are doing with your walnut
Thanks for the videos and keep on milling my friend
Thanks buddy. Appreciate you watching
At a little over $20,000 dollars for the Wood Miser do you think that in time you can recover the costs with the wood products you are milling?
Mine wasn't that high when I got it. I got the 35 when they first came out in 2011. They have gone up a lot since then but to answer your question, yes this machine will pay for its self and has. Thanks for watching..
OK, Thanks, I was just wondering.
no problem. I have found the best way to be profitable with this mill is not milling logs for other people but to sale high quality wood/slabs to woodworkers,
Matthew Cremona, also a UA-cam content provider built his own saw and has also created some beautiful slabs. Might check him out if you have time.
+user990077 👍yes I know him. A good friend of mine. He does great work
You have a machine that's worth around $22,000 .... I'm just curious .... about how much time and money do you spend (yearly) maintaining it? ............. JRW
Time is hard to tell, i keep it well maintained, as far as $ I would say about 200$ a year for maint parts etc,
How did that sweet gum lumber turn out that you cut on one of your videos
Never sawed any sweet gum on here. I hate that stuff. Very hard to keep flat. Interlocking grain.
Out of the Woods ok i got your video mix up with another one i was watching you do good work with your videos and with your mill i am looking to get me one soon i learn a lot from watching you videos thanks and keep up the good work that walnut is some beautiful wood
how fast do you run the blade thu the logs
really depends on the species and how sharp my blade is at the moment, I have been told that I cut slower than the sawmill will operate at,
