You seem to be living every mans dream. You are blessed with knowledge you have learned thru the years and now you're passing it on to others thru your videos. We are grateful for your sharing with us and you kind remarks to all.
Thanks. UA-cam is a great place to share ideas. It is nice to have time to make videos and hopefully some day my grandchildren will learn something from them. Thanks for watching.
Little things like the stakes are so expensive if you have to buy them. Making them allows me to use up some eab killed ash and allows me to justify new tools like the pointer that will be helpful for other projects in the future. Having the time is the key factor. Thanks for watching my videos.
Loved watching. My dad used to go in the woods and saw down trees when I was about 6 years old. I remember him telling me to go this way or that way to be safe. It used to scare me to death then but I love being around wood and woodworking now. Boy, he would have loved one of these to play around with. He had a big-toothed saw blade hooked to a big block Buick engine. Sure was noisy. That was in the 50's.
It's always fun to drag a tree from the woods and build something from it. Those old circle mills definitely are scary but did an excellent job. Thanks for watching.
Really love that little portable saw mill of yours i would love to have one on our acreage we have alot of Birch and Aspen some Fir i have never seen one of those tools i am always using my hatchet to make a point Great Video
The little mill paid for itself the first use. I now have a unlimited supply of lumber for projects. I have to build a solar kiln soon to speed up the drying cycle. The pointer is a great toy to have if you sharpen a lot of stakes. Thanks for watching.
Boy, that's a full day's work. I would have gone in, showered up and taken a nap...haha You should be set for stakes for a while now. And those shavings are really neat looking. The way you have your Mill, Tractor, and cutter set up, you are a one man production crew. Good job.
three years later after this video, Ash lumber doesn’t exist except in private stockpiles. Nice logs like these would have provided exceptional boards, stave handle blanks, and baseball bat blanks. Due to the invasive emerald ash borer, ash is dead or dying. If you have nice clear logs like these today, have them custom cut or sell them and buy a million garden stakes. All that said, this is a very useful video, thank you
Ours are still dying around here and most just cut them into firewood now. The EAB is still present and I have a good supply of ash lumber cut for my future needs. Thanks for watching.
That's a lot of stakes. Wow!! Glad you saved all those shavings. They will make great firestarter. I might make some steaks myself out of that huge ash tree. Milling that tree is going to take all the timberpro has to offer and then some.
You can never have enough stakes. My old ones started rotting and breaking off from the wind so it was time for some new ones. You may be best to slice the boards and then rip them up on a table saw to give your timberpro a break. That will give you a good workout.
You mentioned getting a shorter cant hook some day. 35 years ago or more a friend of mine and I did some very "light" logging. He cut a hook with gas and a hacksaw from a piece of steel, formed a clasp and attached the hook to a 2" galvanized pipe for a handle. Ingenuity and lack of money contributed to the project. I'm sure you could make a much better device in considerably less time with your plasma cutter. Thanks for sharing.
I am kind of hooked on the Logrites. They have just the right geometry and are a sponsor of a forum that I visit so I like to support them. I could make one, but hate to have to buy a sheet of steel and do not have any hardening equipment. Plus the handles are aluminum and extremely light. They have a mill special that is on my want list. I bought a cheep one at tractor supply to start with and it bent the first use and just would not grab a log properly. Thanks for watching.
LOL! Perhaps you could start doing voice over work as a second income? Thanks again for really great instructions on your videos....I'm learning so much from every single video you've posted! Keep up the great work, it is appreciated!
Nice little mill have the same one . Suggestion when you're rotating the log put the dogs up and rotate the log into them keep spinning the log against the dogs until you get it into the position you want
Gee, you must've had a good career to afford all that equipment and tools. I'm envious! A guy like me surely needs a good way to make all the sturdy stakes I can for the coming Chosenite culling. And of course for my garden, too. Maybe I can outsource it to you?
I saw on another channel that if you back away slightly on heavy cuts (kinda like pushing, but giving it half a second of rest, not enough to mark it as i saw) it lets up and doesn't wobble as much.
@7:40, when you make that pass, it kinda makes me wonder why they didn't incorporate a safety so that when you reach the metal with your blade, it either stops, or automatically bumps them lower. It wouldn't be that complicated, just a piece of metal that rides along the cut (since the side of the log is a known quantity in that position).
I try and watch with each cut after destroying a blade. I looked at making a stop, but with oversized logs that use the screw on brackets it would be in the way. The saw could probably use a couple more horse power to push a 10 degree blade through ash like this. Ash seems to create the biggest problem and I will try your tip the next time it starts.
Great job! What tool would I use if I wanted similar stakes but with the point about 1" tall and shaped like a square pyramid, vs. a "sharpened pencil" look?
This video shows it better. ua-cam.com/video/BNiyPq6iG9k/v-deo.html since the video lumberjacktools.com sent me a set of precision shims that are now included with the tool so washers are no longer required just use the supplied shims. Thanks for watching.
I do and they work great without the loader. On a little hill like this with a log on the loader I have to keep it in 4 wheel drive so it will stop because the back wheels will just slide and if you use the individual brakes like that it tries to rip itself apart. I may just need a bigger tractor. Thanks for watching.
i would like it -if u showed me how ur little 4100 works. why do u keep moving the left side lever? doesn't it have 2 pedals on the right floor boards for forward and reverse? just curious-ok.
I don't have a drone, they are very expensive and must be registered with the government to be able to use them here. I just have some videos from the ground.Thanks for watching.
How about make the drill stationary, and a table to lay the stake on and just feed it through till the point is as you want them? Kind of tablesaw like contraption.......
Everything has to be centered and clamped tightly so it will take fiddling to make something like that work for different size stakes. I plan on making a self centering clamp and mounting it on a motor someday. Thanks for watching.
We are loosing all our ash trees to the emerald ash borer now and I hope no other creatures start attacking other hardwood trees around here in the future. Thanks for watching.
I just watched your video, I would love to know what that kind of bit is you used to sharpen the ends and what kind of drill would I have to have to attach it. I am a woman who knows nothing of what you are doing except that I want to know how to work with wood. So...could you please tell me the exact wording I would use when going to Lowes to buy the sharpner and the drill size. I thank you in advance for the help. I'm subscribing to your channel to watch more, thanks for sharing your work. Miss Rita
You can't buy it at lowes. The pointer is from lumberjack tools. www.lumberjacktools.com/collections/staking-tool-accessories/products/30-staking-tool . You need a very heavy duty low speed drill and they also sell that on their website. It will cost you about $400.00 to get started and you also need a good vise to hold the stakes while pointing. It is industrial grade equipment and they also sell other tools for shaping log ends. Thanks for watching.
I have lots more ash just like it dying off from the EAB. Seems like most bats are aluminum anymore. Thinking about cutting some table leg blanks from the other 2 logs. Thanks for watching.
When I getsome time I am going to make a tool that works like that. I think it would be dangerous to try and hold the stakes by hand. Thanks for watching.
It's actually hard to find 1.5x1.5 garden stakes that are 8 and 10 ft. The ones they sell at the big box stores are 6ft at the most and they are crappy and thin and brittle and very expensive considering they are sub-par. Most of them in the pack are no good and break when driving them into the ground. Even if you find a 6 ft stake, after you pound it into the ground, all you have is 4.5 feet left to stake your tomatoes. You need a good 8-10 ft stake for tomatoes since you lose about 1.5 feet in the ground. I did what this guy did with 2x2 (actual size 1.75x1.75) furring strips but I had to cut the points with a sawzall. Then I charred them from the tip up 1.5 feet with a soldering torch. This has made them last many years. Charring stakes and fence posts is an old, but tried and true technology for making them rot slower in the dirt. It beats using chemical-infused treated lumber in your garden. Sure, they tell you that today's copper treated wood is safe for gardening, but then they said that with the arsenic treated wood, too. In 10 years, it will be uncovered that the copper is toxic for gardens and then they will come out with a new treated wood that is "garden safe". You just can trust this Chosenite race that runs our world and own everything. All they want to do is take your money...and you soul. I say, impale them all on stakes and leave them to dry and rot in the hot sun! Your pal, Vlad The Impaler Țepeș III
almost $250-300 bucks worth of stakes and a good days work. granted you have the equipment but that's just firewood laying around that will serve you for years not mention the other lumber slabs you got in the last video
I just want a simple pencil sharpener to fit on my drill so u can sharpen some broomsticks i bought!can i f***! Same as trying to find an attachment for the drill to turn the drill into a sander polishet luckily the drills battery op so i take it everywhere a d its a lightweigjt power drill brill
Still using them and my only other choices were walnut or cherry. I should get a couple more years from them and then just cut another batch. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for sharing. Love your great tool selection!
Thanks for watching.
Spring is in the air, garden stakes are needed! Thanks for the great video!
Hopefully spring will arrive here soon. Thanks for watching.
I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Thanks. 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching.
Beautiful gardens and land!
Thanks for watching.
Always enjoy your videos. That ash is really pretty. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍
Thanks for watching.
Another enjoyable video and always look forward to see what your doing. Thank you
Thanks for watching.
As always very informative. I very much like you keep busy and by using your own tools instead of what many do and just go to the store.
Little things like the stakes are so expensive if you have to buy them. Making them allows me to use up some eab killed ash and allows me to justify new tools like the pointer that will be helpful for other projects in the future. Having the time is the key factor. Thanks for watching my videos.
I love what you're doing on this channel. Sharpening those stakes looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
I started the channel to try and teach my grandsons but their x box won. I am glad that others are starting to enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching.
Just watched your videos, esp the design, metal cutting and finishing - you're one smart resourceful guy. Kudos!!!.
Thanks. It's always fun to learn new things. Thanks for watching.

Super Video.Danke!
Thanks for watching
That's pretty awesome. I learned something new here. Not that I'd ever be doing it but good to know.
I get involved in many different type projects so the videos are quite varied. Thanks for watching.
A very good entertaining video. I like these type videos. cheers !
Thanks for watching.

I would have gone in, showered up and taken a nap...haha
You should be set for stakes for a while now.
And those shavings are really neat looking.
The way you have your Mill, Tractor, and cutter set up, you are a one man production crew.
Good job.
And then up till midnight to make the video. Don't worry, l got a good nap today after pounding all those stakes in the ground. Thanks for watching.

I like the pointer shaper.
Just like a giant pencil sharpener. Thanks for watching.

Love your videos, very helpful! I must say, your voice sounds incredibly like Woody Harrelson (bartender on Cheers tv show).
I have had about 20 others say the same thing. Thanks for watching my videos.
LOL! Perhaps you could start doing voice over work as a second income? Thanks again for really great instructions on your videos....I'm learning so much from every single video you've posted! Keep up the great work, it is appreciated!
Thanks for watching the videos. I started making them hoping my grandsons could learn something new, but turns out they like the x box better.
Give 'em time, My Daughter didn't start watching mine till she was in college.
Nice little mill have the same one . Suggestion when you're rotating the log put the dogs up and rotate the log into them keep spinning the log against the dogs until you get it into the position you want
It is a great little mill. Some time it is tough with a shorter log where the dogs can't flip over center. Thanks for watching.
Those shavings will make interesting mulch for the flower beds.
I would have to sharpen thousands of stakes to make enough shavings. They do work great for starting the firepit. Thanks for watching.
That mill is a great kindling maker
It's a great money saver. Thanks for watching.
Now all you need is 200 vampires! :-)) Nice video.
That would make a great video. Thanks for watching.
Gee, you must've had a good career to afford all that equipment and tools. I'm envious! A guy like me surely needs a good way to make all the sturdy stakes I can for the coming Chosenite culling. And of course for my garden, too. Maybe I can outsource it to you?
Most small sawmills offer stakes at reasonable prices. I did have some good jobs and luckily saved for old age and unemployment. Thanks for watching.
I saw on another channel that if you back away slightly on heavy cuts (kinda like pushing, but giving it half a second of rest, not enough to mark it as i saw) it lets up and doesn't wobble as much.

I’m here because I read that Italians made stakes from ash to kill vampires
Everyone should keep a good sharp one under their bed. They work good for tomatoes also. Thanks for watching.
I wonder what the future holds? With the generation of the 70.s 80.90.s just wann sit behind co.puter screens and glued to smartphone screens
Time will tell. Glad I grew up when I did. Thanks for watching.
That’s one hell of a pencil sharpener
It's a great tool to keep vampires at bay. Thanks for watching.
Great job! What tool would I use if I wanted similar stakes but with the point about 1" tall and shaped like a square pyramid, vs. a "sharpened pencil" look?
I used to use my bandsaw. Thanks for watching.
love your videos you were talking about washers can you show what you you meant
This video shows it better. ua-cam.com/video/BNiyPq6iG9k/v-deo.html since the video lumberjacktools.com sent me a set of precision shims that are now included with the tool so washers are no longer required just use the supplied shims. Thanks for watching.
Does your little tractor have individual brakes? Wheel brakes are your friends if you need to turn tightly with a tractor. Nice video.
I do and they work great without the loader. On a little hill like this with a log on the loader I have to keep it in 4 wheel drive so it will stop because the back wheels will just slide and if you use the individual brakes like that it tries to rip itself apart.

i would like it -if u showed me how ur little 4100 works. why do u keep moving the left side lever? doesn't it have 2 pedals on the right floor boards for forward and reverse? just curious-ok.
It is gear drive, not hydro. 8 forward gears and 4 reverse controlled by the shifter on the left. The 2 pedals are the left and right side brakes.
bonjournice job , even nicer on a mill that you build . look like a nice land you have do you have drone video of it. merci.
I don't have a drone, they are very expensive and must be registered with the government to be able to use them here. I just have some videos from the ground.Thanks for watching.
Hi There. Did you manufavture the sharpener yourself? Where can I get some plans?
Bought it from Lumberjack Tools online. If you watch for a sale you can get one for around $99.00. Thanks for watching.
How about make the drill stationary, and a table to lay the stake on and just feed it through till the point is as you want them? Kind of tablesaw like contraption.......
Everything has to be centered and clamped tightly so it will take fiddling to make something like that work for different size stakes. I plan on making a self centering clamp and mounting it on a motor someday. Thanks for watching.
I think every country except the U.K has hardwoods available at an abundance!!
We are loosing all our ash trees to the emerald ash borer now and I hope no other creatures start attacking other hardwood trees around here in the future. Thanks for watching.

Hi there
Make more and sale .
Have a good day be safe god bless
Thanks for watching
Just think of how many baseball bats you could have made...nice logs!
I have lots more ash just like it dying off from the EAB. Seems like most bats are aluminum anymore. Thinking about cutting some table leg blanks from the other 2 logs. Thanks for watching.
That's one huge pencil sharpener.
It sure looks like one. Thanks for watching.
Where can i buy that giant pole stake sharpener?
I got it from Lumberjack tools online. Watch for a sale because the price varies greatly. Thanks for watching.
if you could harness that thing so the cutter faces up and just drop the stakes in from above would be a lot easier on your back lol.
As long as you have a secure way to hold the stake it would work. Thanks for watching
How can I sharpen it like that without out a power tool?
I used to use a hatchet . Thanks for watching.
Hi, what is the name of that tool to make the pointed end?
Lumberjack tools stake pointer. Thanks for watching.
I'm learning a lot from you. How can I ever pay back?
That is what UA-cam is all about. Thanks for watching my videos.
Are those toothpicks?
for Paul Bunyan??
:-)
They work good on vampires also. Thanks for watching.
hi , where i can get the cutting head...
Lumberjack tools. They have a big sale that just started. Thanks for watching.
What is the drill attachment called?
It's a lumberjack stake pointer. There is a video about it back a couple. Thanks for watching.
All set to kill some vampires now.
Bring them on. Thanks for watching.
Have you tried to clamp the drill and feed the sticks holding them? It might take you a lot less time to do the job.
When I getsome time I am going to make a tool that works like that. I think it would be dangerous to try and hold the stakes by hand. Thanks for watching.
You can buy lots of stakes with the cost of all that gear.
If that is all it is used for. Thanks for watching.

A little big for pencils, but perfect for vampire stakes. Thanks for watching.

Bad choice of wood. Ash is not good choice for out door use. But nice stakes
Still using them and my only other choices were walnut or cherry. I should get a couple more years from them and then just cut another batch. Thanks for watching.
