- Join me for some odds and ends projects around the shop!
Welcome to our channel, Thanks for watching! We're a small sawmill and wood products business in Eastern Pennsylvania. Join me for videos on all things wood from the forest to the final product. We'll cover a wide range of topics about lumber and woodworking, machinery and heavy equipment, and even our family's Christmas tree farm.

Maybe take us on some more tours of your customers' projects and builds. Really enjoyed the last one you done. You just make the videos, and we'll keep watching, lol.
Thanks! I’ll try to work some projects in.
1:34 that’s actually a really smart idea. If you get one of those e-readers, it would probably work even better. Some of them have a matte finish on the screen and can be used in full sunlight. Combine that with indexing and search features, and you’ll be set. Fantastic idea, I will have to start doing that soon with my own tools…
The only problem is keeping it clean. I’ll print out what I need sometimes to keep my computer away from grease/oil
4:49 if you ever build a new shop, add an area drain/ trough drain either down the center of the garage, or across the garage door just inside and slope all of the floor slightly to the drain. Have the drain daylight outside and DO NOT hook it up to the drain system. You can put an expansion plug or a threaded cap, or a coffee can over the end of the pipe outside to prevent insects or animals from getting in. Just remove the cap when washing down the floor. If something toxic spills, it gives you a chance to prevent the spread or at least catch it before it goes everywhere if the end is capped; just get a container under the outflow side. Obviously it isn’t necessary, but it would make life easier, and it’s cheaper than floor coatings and should last forever.
Yes I should have done that. I thought about it when I built it but didn’t take the time to lay up the pipe and do the concrete work. Wish I would have.
7:28 for Christmas tree shears, do you use those Ryan units with the curved ? Shaped shafts? My dad was a small engine mechanic and every year, we tuned up all the tree shears for Tannenbaum tree Farm in Nodaway County Missouri.
Last time I helped with that was 30 years ago however..
We use battery powered Beneke rotary pruners.
Cory here in Ireland the artifical christmas trees are taken over and the real ones are not shifting much i can't believe the sawmill is quiet there is a sawmill just a few mile away from me and it's non stop sawing all pine its mass production its slaughtering pine all day if you googled Murray timber here in Ireland the whole mill is just a massive convayer from floor to roof and one man sitting with tv screens all around i just hate that kind of sawmilling
Keep the artificials over there! Actually there are plenty here but real trees are still a big market.
@@hillcustomlumber It's getting harder now a lot of the big hardware and places that sell homeware stuff are selling the fake trees with decorations and fancy lights at the same price as the real trees one fella completely lost a good few quid because the real tree can't compete with them its sad to see that happen
How many people do you employ on the farm?
It varies depending on season. We have 2 guys that basically work year round and fill in with some seasonal help summer shearing and fall harvest.
