Good afternoon Case, As you know I don't own a mill, but I enjoy watching the process of cutting logs into lumber. Nice video, very informative. Thanks! Hope you are having a great weekend, Ben 😎👍🍻
Great information! Another key factor is getting the logs to mill. There is time invested in that as well wether you harvest them yourself or get them from another source. It would be so cool to have a mill. Some day! Take care!
I wish UA-cam was bigger back in 2006 and had sawmill info like this. I had to research small bandsaw mills for an organization funding the purchase to help residents in Hancock Co Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina brought down so many trees. Mostly pine. We settled on 2 Hudson mills and quickly found them to be lacking in productivity unless there was a large church or other civic organization in town to help with the logistics/ labor of running them. In the end, they were loaned out to residents to run on their own instead of us managing a "woodyard" with the mills in one location. Great video Case!
@BuildALotAcres I've had first hand experience with tornadic damaged trees doing exactly that. My sons and I helped the Jamestown,PA Fire Dept cut trees that blocked my wife on St Rt 322 in Nov of 2017. The two red oaks laying across the road had a lot going on as we made shallow cuts in an area of about 2 feet along the trunk. The FD trashed their bar trying to make a single cut. The trees in Mississippi were mostly straight line winds. The tornados were mostly upstate from the coast. The tornados that did spawn in Hancock Co mostly twisted the tops of the trees off. Their pines are pretty heavy, they developed a "blue" staining to them by the time the mills were delivered and started opening up logs. It was actually pretty cool looking. I wish I would have kept some of the lumber. Here was the first YT video I had a part in the production of. I was a founder of the camp but bailed when things started getting shady with financial stuff. ua-cam.com/video/X_IbIKstnJs/v-deo.htmlsi=KvFJdBJmSlPTTqbC
This was very interesting information, thanks. I know nothing about milling but it is good to learn about it. It seems to me to a bit like machining in that you spend longer overall setting up the part on the mill or lathe than cutting it

You should join the club Justin. We’re always looking for new recruits. Think of all the money you’d save and the fun you’d have 😁
@@BuildALotAcres very true. We were looking at them about 2 years ago but never pulled the trigger. Now it’s a lack of time and funds

Great comment Kevin. I would be hesitant milling hurricane trees. They can pop and release tension pretty violently, and pretty quickly.
