    Great video as always Sandy! For those bugs, try out a chemical at tractor supply (or Canada's equivalent store) called Permethrin. 8 ounces per gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer. It lasts 3 to 4 weeks and really cuts down the bugs. I always had to wear a head net and jean jacket because of the bugs and misquotes. The last few weeks after spraying, I have not needed them. I still have some but now it is bearable. Cant wait to see the next video

The local hardware store here sells two different mixtures of the fluid that both say they repel mosquitos. So I bought them both and put one type in one torch and the other type in the other one lol. Figure I get the best of both then. Between those two torches and a therma cell I barely see a mosquito!

    My suggestion, and it's worth what you paid for, is to cross brace the old wood shed/new mill bldg with wire, overhead at beam height. Four eye bolts, some princess auto aircraft cable and two turnbuckles, ought to take the wiggle out of the new mill bldg. Great video! On the East coast we call putting on bug spray as "basting." There's no guarantee it'll stop getting bit, but you'll taste better.

    @howiej2121 2 роки тому +1

    Question on the nails you are using, they look like a galvanized ring shank. Other than cost is there a reason you use them on rough cut lumber, is there an advantage or does it help with the shrinkage and twisting of the boards, which leads to my next question we are wanting to do a cabin out of 12x12 square rough-cut logs from our property wondering how much twisting you will get or expect from your 20ft header. keep up the great videos really appreciate you sharing them.

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Howie, Thanks for watching. These nails are common for framing in my area. These are 3.5" ardox galvanized nails (spiral design). Do a great job at providing shear strength and don't rust. I've built several buildings including my tiny house from green lumber and I don't end up with much twisting. My other sawmilshed beside this one had timber posts built of green lumber and fortunately they stayed straight as well

Are you ever worried about wind lifting up your structure off the deck blocks?

    Quick question Sandy. Cut some 14ft pine 6x6’s today on my HM130 and it seems to be cutting wavy instead of flat. Blade sharpness issue or tension issue? Your thought would be appreciated

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  2 роки тому

      Hey Chris! I’m thinking that if the blade starts to dull there may be more resistance when cutting through the log and so the blade heats up a bit cause if the blade to get slightly longer and the tension to drip slightly. This could lead to some very slight waves. That’s what I believe can happen but I could also be way out in left field. I’d likely pit a sharp blade on with the same tension and see if that fixes it

    • @bhilton81
      @bhilton81 2 роки тому

      Hi Chris, funny you ask! I was milling spruce the other day and decided to try some older blades I had kicking around, just to see if they truly needed a sharpening. I find usually spruce or pine cut like butter compared to Ash, cherry, maple, etc. The first blade I used cut extremely wavy, the second one cut as straight as an arrow. Same log, same tension. I think it is fair to say it could be what Sandy says, or it could be a dull blade. I also wonder if blades might get damaged, like stretched out of round, warped? Might just be a bad blade I tried the other day. Who knows. My friend who sold me the mill gave me 25 used blades with it. Good luck!

    By now maybe you remember me from the many who comment on your page. I am going to "Play safety sally" so here goes.. Operating a tractor with out the slow moving warning signs, going across a narrow bridge with no safety rails, plus when was that bridge safety rating done? Without our government checking on the load limit, you might of crashed through... killing valuable mosquito larva, the ones that are on the endangered species list! Parking the loaded tractor without proper chocking devices to keep it from rolling back and killing ants and other little bugs our birdies love to eat hence starving them to death.... oh this list could take up pages... I never once heard a horn blow when your line of sight was impaired going through the tree limbs. I told you that our government knows what is good for you.... and then building without a safety inspector on sight should a board fall and break a foot or put your eye out.... no safety helmet to keep that brain safe... As Gretta said "How dare you!!" I tell you, if you apply all the rules they dream up to ream us with.. the beams would rot off before the finish of this fine structure. There is a time for precision an there is a time for "close enough" ... just think, we will be wearing fire extinguishers to just drive a nail. I will apologize now if you don't find my brand of humor funny... after all, dad called me a half wit half breed. I hope for all things to go well here on the build... I do kinda wish that you had doubled the additional length of the mill as you will always want more for extensions or other things that do come up.. Have you considered raising the other mill to a higher milling height as you said, bending that you don't notice till something does change. Just asking Sandy
