Thanks for the education. You make woodworking and sawing approachable for us non-experts.
I'm not a woodworker Nathan but this was a very good, clear video on quarter sawing of timber & some nice timber was the result of your good work. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Thank you for explaining why you are cutting that the way you are. I will probably never in my life run a sawmill, but I sure do like to know the "why" of things.
This was the first time I was in way over my head! The results made the instruction much clearer! I didn't need to know either, but was fascinated none the less!
Lol I don't know why but I could listen all day. Hey learning something new! 😁
This was my exact sentiment.
Thanks Nathan. I have been working with wood for 20 years, that is the clearest and most direct demonstration of quarter-sawn I have seen. Good on yer!
Thanks Kindly Nathan! That beech will make some lovely tools. You pick music as well as you saw. And your shot of the saw in action at different angles are great in showing the saws operation. That's quite a piece of machinery! A Fine weekend to you and your family! DaveyJO
That was very intriguing as well as informative. I didn't think too much when the video started but as it progressed I became all the fascinated with what you're doing. Nice!!
I really like the new Sawmill set up. It seems to be more safe and less chance for injury. since you seem to be working alone most of the time. Less actually touching the logs going onto the table is the way to go. Then using hydraulics to manipulate the log on the table lessens the chance of a pinch injury. So, well done.
excellent job Nathan. those planes are gonna be awesome when you get em done. tommy sure loved seein momma cat. hey to the family from us.
Thanks for a very good educational video, Nathan! Your'e the best! Beautiful timber! love it!
Beautiful slabs. We are waiting to see the hand plane. Nice looking grain. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you from England! Needing to cut 3.5 inch posts out of pretty small Larch logs so avoiding the heartwood will be tricky. But your video helps a lot with knowing what to look for on the cross section.
Beech makes superb tool handles and mallet heads. It's interlocking grain resists splitting.
Your videos are awesome - keep them coming!!!!
Greetings from Ohio...very nice beech on the mill. Your quality of video, audio & wealth of information you supply is outstanding! Should have a million subs by now, it is well deserved. I bought one of your orange shirts a while back & every time I wear it somebody always asks "that wood any good?"... I send them directly to your channel to see it for themselves. Thanks for sharing what you do my friend & have a great day!
thank you, appreciate that comment, made my evening,
Thanks Nathan for sharing your knowledge with us all. I'm not familiar with Beech wood here in Massachusetts because, I just don't come across it around here. It's some nice lumber that you have.
Thanks. Appreciate you watching
First, I love the new logo. Your buddy did you a Solid. Great logo for your work and shirts and caps, etc. Love that Elephant wood.
Nice basket of matters👍 Oh and the beach wood, nice 👌
👍👍
Loved it , great work
Hey Nathan, thanks for today's video Lesson. I always learn something new watching your videos. Be nice if you're a lot closer the Pacific Northwest so I could get first-hand training from you 😆. As always looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you.
I only just noticed .... the slider arm knows to avoid the clamp. It's magic!
Hi I really enjoy your videos they are very informative and your editing talent is amazing! I am hopefully going to get a lt35 soon and have learned a lot from watching your videos
Lots of good info
Am really enjoying watching your videos would be great if you could explain more of the terms used? Thanks for sharing!
Why should the cat work when she has you to figure things out for her?
I found that very interesting, Nathan, learning how you work things out so you get the maximum and most useful yield. Very clever stuff, especially the information about the way the adjacent planes dry and how to compensate for the natural forces that cause twisting etc. I'm going to look at my shelves in a whole new way!
👍👍. Appreciate you watching
I would have loved to see you balance and secure the pie shaped section and decide whether to cut one wider board (that you did) or a pair of slightly narrower pieces.
You play the best music 💪😌
Thank man...!
Really enjoy watching all of your videos. Just was wondering if you have ever cut up a black locust log? I’ve got 2 x8 foot logs I’m going to have cut into boards for me soon, also 3 x8 foot logs of walnut. All are about 25 in in diameter. We grow some really nice oak and walnut here in SE Iowa.
Hey Nathan. Love the tunes 👍
thanks TIm,
1st, love the videos!
I have to say you throw a lot of wood in the burn pile that I could use for different crafts. You should dry them and sell them as craft lumber.
If you bored a hole the length of the pith board and broached some shallow grooves inside, as it dried it would twist itself into the world's only wooden rifle barrel.
It looks to me like you could use the the more solid pith boards could be used for subfloor.
When you cut up the wedge after taking off the 2 5/4 boards ... Wouldn't the larger wedge shape at the end have a reasonable chunk of rift sawn ( 45 degree grain) suitable for mallet handles and legs and other such things where you see the grain from all 4 sides?
Just curious
Flat sawn? Is that dimensional lumber?
Is thorny locus worth having milled for lap board siding in your opinion?
What about rift sawn ? What are your thoughts on that to be able to get more boards .
Great info!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sure glad I have a video of this episode so I can study it before the big test coming up Professor!!! Just hope there is not an essay on the test and it is all True and False and multi-choice!!! Easier to grade too!!!..... Cameo Cat was also seen at first and some Tom's too are they bonus points???!!!!! Need to show the weakness of the Juvenile Wood by snapping a piece off by hand show it flaws!!!!
😂😂😂
Can you cut the beech to make rift sawn pieces. They are very useful for table legs. Would the rift sawn lumber be stable enough?
If the intention was to use the beech slabs for a table top, why not a 4x4 or 5x5 out of that small 1/4 section for leg material?
Would take longer to dry, but would save matching grain and laminating thinner pieces together.
The tangential rays would have at least partially shown on two sides of the leg material.
Not part of my plan. Too nice to be table legs.
Have you ever stood a short log on its end & sliced off flat round "platters" like you might see on tables in fancy magazines?
Don't put that pith board in the firewood pile! Make it into signs for Sawyers that say "PITH HAPPENS"
😂😂😂
Several times in my life somebody threatened to work me over with a pith elm club. Now I finally know what they were talking about.
@Janice Dudley his wife won't let him tell his jokes, so he comes to UA-cam.🤔
Hey Nathan, on that last piece you were milling... when you cut out the heart wood, why didnt you cut the out the bark, squaring it up... then drop down and remove the pith? Just seemed odd to have left the bark on to me. Does the bark help prevent twist or cupping as it dries or something?
Thanks for sharing & showing the hands on of quarter sawing. I only knew theory from reading about it. Nice of you to connect the dots. Tyvm again.
that leaves it wide as possible, and if the customer is looking for live edge, there ya go,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Thanks. That helps & makes sense now. Like i asked, all i could think of was to keep it from twist/cup cuz u said it had a different grain.
I loved seeing Beechwood on your saw. It is a beautiful species. Excellent for rifle stocks. In cabinetry, when sanded down, looks like ostrich skin.
What is a hand plane?
Last slice could be turned on a large. Just a thought.
True
why does sawdost from the beech get stuck to the boards so bad? I literally have to clean every board front and back before stacking
What a Beach of a log..lol
Maybe explain to us novice watchers why you want quarter sawn wood over plain sawn wood. (avoid cupping)
Why do you cut your board so wide
Who planes your lumber?
Me
@@OutoftheWoods0623 have you made any videos of the planing process? What type of plane do you use?
@@toothandnailsawmill102 See video dated 29th April 2019 ua-cam.com/video/TLNp8ULdC6Q/v-deo.html & video dated 1st May 2019 ua-cam.com/video/QtC19s90hPs/v-deo.html. It's easy to find these searching UA-cam
Did you know that you can sell your scrap wood to companies that make charcoal
Nathan, they're going to run you out of Tennessee if you keep using those big words. I joke. Keep up the good work
Peach pits and Beech pith. Both pretty useless! :)
tThe pith can be cut into stickers to stack boards. If you aint got stickers you can't stack wood . Come back .
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Did not mean to use them right away. I don't waste any pieces big enough to make stickers out of . Stack them up just like boards to dry .
There's good money to be made in hardwood charcoal and potash. Hire someone if you don't have time. Don't waste it.
