- Finally wrapping up the ash milling videos. Captured all but the last few logs. This lumber is amazing, and will make some nice projects in the future. Possibly some flooring for a future home addition.
I like that little Kubota.
That little guy can sure work. It ha surprised me more than once, and co tinues to surprise me
A Brit here living in Crete (Greece) for the last16 years. I really enjoy your videos as I was in the cabinet making trade for 12 years in the UK. One thing worries me and that is Deb not wearing a mask in that dusty air. I've had a persistent cough for over 3 years which the hospital say is due to sawdust over 45 years ago. While wearing a mask does not help the videos, I do worry about her health much later in life. Had friends at Wysox in northern PA that I used to visit until I got too old to travel. Nice countryside in PA. Good work.
Hello Maurice, and welcome to the mill. That has all change for Deb. I was trying to talk her into the mask for some time. I was finally able to convince her to wear a mask. She had been staying out of the dusty air for the most part, but I wasn't happy about it. Glad she has changed her mind.
@@IronOakSawmill Really glad to hear that - these things come to haunt years after we have finished our working life. The very best to you and your family.

You guys are great keep up the good work
Thank you Mike. We really appreciate that. Glad you are joining us as well.
Great job.good. way of life
Hello Corrinne, and welcome to the mill. We are saving all the ash we can. Not many left, and they will probably be gone in 5 years due to the emerald ash borer
Thanks for most boring video, gave me great white noise to fall asleep quickly
Glad we could help out. Thank you for the viewing time. Stop by any time.
You all are a awesome couple
Thank you very much Richard. Sorry for the delayed response. We hate missing comments.
Let’s see Deb pick a log, line it up and mill it. Come on D , you can do it 😊🙏
Nice asssh! Really good looking lumber and beams. If I had a sawmill, I'd have a Deb too. But in my opinion, Deb is more valuable than the mill. I give the teamwork 2 👍👍 s up. And after all that work you guys deserved a steak dinner. Thanks for sharing and good to see y'all back on here. Now if I could saw some logs. Geez
Deb is awesome for sure. Another youtuber we know, who has a mill, asks his girl, "Will you be my Deb"? She is getting quite a fan base on here.
That was an awesome steak dinner.
We are actually heading out in a few hours, to a mill job. They are supplying labor, so Deb gets to direct them, and have an easy day.
It's always good to be on the sawmill.
Thanks for watching. I try to do the best.
@@debfromthemill6945 you're welcome and yes you do! I enjoy the sawing of logs from the start to the finished product. Thanks again. You guys brighten up my day regardless of the hour.
You can get yourself an Alaska mill for not much money compared to a Woodmiser
That is a great stack of wood.
Thank you Sandra. So sorry we missed your comment. Hope to see you in the comments again soon.
Wow! You guys got a lot of board feet this time! Thanks for sharing!
We sure did. Cant wait to start using it some day.
No problem. We enjoy people watching the video. Thanks again.
You all made hungry, and tired just watching a good job though. You all have a Gr8 Day What's left of it. Catch You On the Flip-Flop. TA from Birmingham
Thanks TA. We aim to please. Any day milling is a great day.
See you out here next time.
Iron & Oak Sawmill and
@@BCAllen-ji6dm there you have it.
You and your wife make a good team
Thank you Steven, and welcome. We may be switching roles in some upcoming videos. She liles running the mill, so keep watching. She should be taking the controls again soon.
The darters the spit of you. Les England a chip of the old block id say .
only thing ai used ash fer was tool handles,never knew any one ta have lumber an use it, yup yer right ina few more years the ash will go the way of the chestnut went, be xtra kind ta MRS.DEB doin all that hard dusty werk,,thank ya fer the video
It makes good lumber for sure.
Used to make great bats as well, but they had to switch to maple because of the ash shortage.
Ms Deb is sure treated well. Got herself a new vehicle a couple weeks ago.
@@IronOakSawmill WOW! ya must pay pretty good,, jist kiddin i,m jist glad she,s ok after hittin that deer,staysafe an warm
@@russsherwood5978 35 years with the same lady. I must be doing something right, or she is very charitable. Lol
You have a great Thanksgiving as well.
Thank you. Yes, your right sorry to say ash will go away and that's why we are milling are own to keep.
Interesting video. I'd like to see Woodmizer make an all electric powered version.
Hello Andrew, and, Thank You. Wood Mizer does have an option for an electric motor on all of their models, that work excellent. Check them out at Woodmizer.com
When your sawmill is worth more then your tracktor
But the tractor is still priceless.
Man y’all cut up some wood Deb got some strong 💪, oh man you out numbered now 🤣. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁
Thank you. And Happy Thanksgiving to you also
I’m just trying a different place and it will me that it would make a good
Your daughter is cute, and funny
She takes after her mother
The wife should be sawing the logs.
She saws a lot. She is not afraid of work.
I see tons of fallen giant hardwood down in forests, or even cut by public forest management and let to rot and inaccessible from roads. I understand in the old days they used to have oxens to pull logs out of forests and difficult terrain although that could be very dangerous on sloped terrain or derricks. I sometimes just stop at these fallen massive logs and can't believe they'll just stay there and rot.
Hello Eric. We see the same thing around here in our county and state parks. These giant succumb to storm winds or simple just age, and rather than preserve them in lumber, they are left to rot. I realize that it is nature, but I would rather see the tree live on in beautiful pieces of furniture, and continue to be enjoyed by so many.
@@IronOakSawmill Thanks for the answer, Yes, although to be fair, rotting logs serve a very beneficial natural purpose in feeding the forest food pyramid and keeping it healthy from which insects, birds and other plants feed on, but where i live i see sufficient smaller rotting logs serving that purpose just fine so those prime fallen big hardwood trees should be made into timber for manufacturing prime furniture. I cannot help but think how i would get them out of the forest and to my sawmill. Even though i don't have one yet. hahaha
@@ericastier1646 there are many economical, and low impact options for getting most logs out of the Forrest. I've even seen where they use helicopters to take them out
@@IronOakSawmill I'll skip on the helicopter for now. What's your economical way, i see none, no vehicle can go into dense vegetation and i don't mean a buldozer.
@@ericastier1646 have you ever seen a cable skidded. For us, maybe not financially possi le, but if loggers were allowed to go in and take o ly the downed trees, it could be done
Admire you guys
Hello Irene, and thank you. We are working hard to make a good channel. Glad you are here to join us.
Great job guys. That was a great day on the mill. Great job on the video editing and the b-roll setup at the beginning. BTW- have you ever done a video on how you stack your lumber? Have you built any reusable platforms for example to provide space between the ground and lumber? Just curious if you have followed or created any build plans for your lumber racks.
Thanks for watching. I'm not sure if we put a video about stacking the lumber yet.
Your Deb really completes the team. Not bad for couple of old farts right 😂 Great job 👏 How’s that new tractor Deb 🙏
I think a nice set of forks for the tractor would work well for you. Less precarious.
We are looking to remove the bucket, and install forks. It's not a "quick attach" system though. Maybe we can find one.
Not a fan of the ones that mount to the bucket.
Thanks for the info, and thank you for checking in.
We were thinking of that too.
Do you find that the balance in the saw head, as you enter the log, makes the lumber have an inconsistent thickness throughout the length of the board?
Hello, and thank you for your question. Just to clarify, do you mean balance, or bounce?
The cantilever design has worked for decades now, and is well proven. They have the balance down very well.
If you are referring to bounce, there is a tiny bit when first engaging the blade, but it settles down quickly. I could delay the start of the cut for a second or 2, possibly, to allow it to stop. Either way, the cut is excellent with the Wood Mizer.
Iron & Oak Sawmill Yes, I meant bounce. I am looking at purchasing the LT35 probably within the next month. I started with a Norwood Lumbermate 2000 (Manuel) and am looking to go hydraulic. Do you have the fine adjustable jacks or stock jacks on yours?
@@Mark-dp3zf we started off with the manual LT15GO as well. the LT35 is a game changer. We replace the 4 center jack, with the fine adjust units. They make life a lot easier. We may change out the 2 on the ends in the future.
Thank you for your question. I hope to see you sawing on the LT35 soon.
that big blade you got in you back pocket do you get that with the mill?
Hello Casey, and welcome to the mill.
We got that blade at one of the big box stores. It's a drywall knife, but works great for cleaning the sawdust off the lumber and slabs. We have high iron content in the water around here, and the wet sawdust can stain the wood, so we like to make sure that doesn't happen.
@@IronOakSawmill I want to get a small hydraulic mill like yours in Australia for the farm got a lot of big eucalyptus i can use for timber to make sheds for the goats and the off cuts make into firewood
I should remember but I don't, What is a cant? Terry
Hello Terry and welcome.
A cant is the log that has been squared.
As a joke, I tell people that its called a cant, because you can't roll it anymore. lol
@@IronOakSawmill Makes sense to me but I'm glad I got that straight. I was thinking it had to do with a bent log and having to get it cut right to get the most boards out of it. Terry
Do you sell a lot of 8x8 ash? if so what do people use it for? My understanding is it’s not a great material for exterior use, So that would rule out timber framing etc?
I've had requests for them for post and beam. A good preservative keeps them solid. My firewood shed is built mainly from ash. Its held up really well, and I haven't used anything on it.
Also, if the post and beams dont wor out, I can always resaw them for rustic lumber.
Thank you for you question, and thank you for stopping by.
@@IronOakSawmill That's a great point . Having large cants in stock leaves lots of options open for resaw requests . It always seems that people request what we don't have available and dry .
@@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223 I've been there. After cutting all the logs, someone want what I didnt cut. This will allow me to cover that request..
Stop in any time.
forks for tractor would help
We have a set of forks. Not the best, but they help. We could use a bigger machine actually.
Do you get many good logs off your property to mill?
We only have about an acre of land. Most of the woods you see in the background, belongs to the neighbors.
Do you ever cut up the scraps for firewood
Hello Richard, and welcome. We used to cut it up, but it added a lot of work, and mess. We put them out next to the road, and people buy the full length pieces. We will hang onto some bigger chucks from certain logs, like hickory or white oak, and others. We get plenty of firewood in log form, where we get our logs from.

Hello Dennis, and welcome to the mill. Good to see some folks from the west coast. Watch and enjoy. Lots to chose from
Where in Appalachia is this?
PA
How do you charged your labor sir ?
Hello Nicolas, and thank you for your question. If we have to bring on an additional person, it is charged by the hour.
Where are you located?
Sorry we missed this comment. We are in southeastern PA. How about you?
Northwest Pa. Erie
@@hubber75 nice area up there. Visited Erie a couple times.
Your'e in trouble now...lol. 2 women bosses.
LOL. Yes, but they both love me :)
Please rethink the amount of talking. Like to watch but could do without a lot of the commentary.
Some folks want the details. When I stop with the talking, they start with asking for more details about what I'm doing. I try to keep a balance .
@@IronOakSawmill timing is just right.
Admire you guys
Thank you Irene, and welcome to the channel. Sorry for the delayed response.
