September delivery is perfect, it provides plenty of time to get Melissa's pool installed and operational. You will never replace Melissa, Mike needs to make sure Melissa gets her toys as soon as Mike gets his new toys
Mike your neighbor seems like a nice person and seems like she is really enjoying that the wood is being used right. Maybe have uncle Jay make her some small thing out of it.
Mike, great episode. This is the second time that you mentioned the rope that is the feed mechanism for the sawmill carriage. The first time you talked of it you showed a close-up image of the rope. As I recall the rope appears to be braided nylon. Nylon rope is notorious for stretching under load unless it is manufactured with a stiffer core. When wet it is even more stretchy. There is good reasons to use nylon rope when you want the stretch to not transmit a shock load. This may be why Woodmizer chose nylon. Conversely, when stretch causes the issue that you have, retightening to reduce drive pulley slip, a stiffer material like dacron may be the answer. Dacron is more expensive. This may also be why Woodmizer chose nylon. When you get tired of the nylon rope you might consider dacron, FWIW.
Mike and Melissa, it is NICE to see that you are getting something to reduce some of the physical burdens you encounter daily. So happy you both are physically fit but you both have so much on your plates, the purchase and operation of the new mill should free up more of your time. Allowing you opportunities to explore your many endeavors. Hope that you find it a Game Changer and enjoy how it allows for more time to do other things. As far as the work boot situations, I hope you take it for what it is. Concern for you and your family, I HOPE, especially with Eva's upcoming surgery. Because most videos are edited, it is difficult to truly get the whole picture of how things transpire. But having watched your family for sometime now, Mike you are a pretty smart guy. Thank you for sharing, look forward to this Next Project coming up and the difference it will make. Until then, keep us entertained, be safe, may your family be healthy and we will see you soon.
I just want to point out that every time I work with you on the sawmill from my chair I'm only wearing on my feet my safety slipper socks so Levi had way better safety shoes on. Wishing your whole family a safe and healthy and prosperous new year and a painless and quick recovery for Eva from her surgery.
Mike and Melissa I beleive this will show up on Melissa's birthday! She gets a skid steer and a new sawmill. Way to go Melissa! 🤣😂 Prayers for Eva and Hunter. God bless in the New Year!
Just an FYI. I built my sawmill shed with 18' access opening. When sawing big heavy beams or 2x, I am able to lift the finished product with the tapper rollers and go under the finished with forks on my skid steer to lift off and not have to lift with my 70 year old back. Just need to allow for forklift access when bhilding your building.
As soon as I saw Levi running the mill, I knew an upgrade would be coming soon! The light in his eyes after the first few cuts said it all, he's hooked! 2022 is looking busier than ever, Congrats!!!
Good afternoon from Waxhaw, NC to a brother who used to live in Broome County, NY where winters are long and the snow is deep. Again, Happy New Year and ..... I had a feeling that you had bigger and better plans to upgrade your mill - remember, I was talking about "scaling" your business, and your right on track. Next, the mill shed, then the wood dryer, especially for your "special" cuts (tabletops, fireplace mantels, etc) which incidentally, bring big bucks and I'm not talking the four-legged variety. I like the daily videos and the quality. It is evident that you put a lot of time and thought into them; editing and background music. Prayers for Eva and Hunter. God bless your family in the New Year
The grain in that red oak was beautiful. I think you’re making an excellent move to get that new saw mill. And like you said Melissa cannot be replaced. She is invaluable. We really enjoy seeing Levi in there as well. Well Mike enjoy the rest of your day and tell Hunter hello for us. We are still praying for Eva and Hunter. 👍👍👍❤️🙏
Since none of us is getting any younger, it always makes sense to have equipment that helps you work smarter, not harder. The upgrade on the mill will certainly help with that. Congratulations. Looking forward to another year.
Melissa is a KEEPER for sure!!!! 😊. That is exciting news and can't wait to see you rocking the new mill in the new building!! You guys are amazing!! 😊
I a. really excited to see the new sawmill I am totally pumped for you both too I love seeing you turn this into a family thing that can be handed down to your legacy
Congrats on the new sawmill pircjase!!! It will definitely be a great addition to the wood yard. Based on your description, it will definitely be easier, as well as a back and time saver. Nothing will ever replace Melissa but both of your backs will rejoice. Prayers out there for Eva's upcoming surgery and stay safe and warm and see you on the next video.
I must say, Melissa makes the stack of fantastic wood more posh whilst resting on it. I always enjoy the teamwork of you two, Melissa and Mike. Strong work, as always. This year WILL be fabulous.
Not tryin to be a jerk…but Melissa resting her foot on those new boards left some muddy footprints depending on what you do with thos boards it will be really a painn to get that stain outta that board…jus sayin,not tryin to be “that” guy🤔😉😬
Wow Mike and Melissa! It is so good Mike to see you compliment the love of your life, Melissa! I am excited for 2022 and the new equipment coming! Much more beautiful lumber!
Having been absent from viewing your videos for a while, the timing of this one couldn’t be more perfect, having just ordered a mill. Happy to be back in the fold. Your videos are among the best…possibly the best, for learning about outdoor equipment and how to use it. Thanks for posting this one…again! -TJ
I was five minutes into part 1 of the video when it disappeared from my feed. Just had a minor panic attack thinking I might not get my daily Outdoors with the Morgan fix :) Glad to see your attention to detail. Hopefully, the third music service will work out, but I always enjoy the music you select for your videos. Oh, and Happy New Year!
The enterprise is growing congrats , be looking forward to that . Yup you better keep the dimple queen or you might be kicking stones down the road . All the best
Mike it’s great to hear the you’re getting a new Woodmizer that easier to use for you. That Red Oak is beautiful wood, it would probably make very nice cabinets or table in the dayroom in the that new building that you’re working on indoors.
Hi Mike and Melissa, I've recently started saving up my pennies to buy a saw mill. Nothing like the new one you have ordered but more like the old one, I'm a retired police officer and just not enough pennies yet..lol.. to me your old version would be a dream come true for me. Hopefully one day I will be able to get to get one. I have a few nice red oaks on my property that are rt next to my house and they have grown way too big for their location but I do not want them to go to waste so I'm going to try and hold off until I can get a saw mill so I can make something out of them. God bless and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Looking forward to seeing your new saw mill..
I play guitar like for the past 45 years. I started when I was 11 years old playing guitar. I learned so many songs. I have so many guitars nowadays banjos ukulele
I'm excited to see what all you guys do in the future! I keep telling people about you guys, you're awesome to watch and try to emulate. Thanks for sharing!
If you are putting your new sawmill inside a building, look into getting a flexible exhaust to run fumes from the sawmill directly to the outside. During the summer, you can open doors and windows, but during the winter ...
Good afternoon everyone, a balmy 10º in Kansas City. Just came in from trying to blow the snow off the drive and walks with the BR700, the layer of ice underneath is keeping the snow in place. Stay safe, be humble & kind and have a day. Still 248k.
Great news and happy to hear that you are getting a sawmill upgrade plus with the skid steer coming there should be some exciting videos coming in 2022. Really enjoy watching your videos.
Next time someone that mentioned that Levi wasn't wearing the proper shoes; gets up in the middle of the night and stubs your toe on a piece of furniture, remind yourself that you weren't wearing the proper shoes. I'm amazed the quality of work that your LX150 sawmill puts out with all its quirky manual controls. Can't imagine how much better it'll be with the new sawmill. The hydraulic turn and level system will save you a lot of time and manual labor and make your milling projects go so much quicker.
I was ready to buy the exact same mill 2 years ago. When I went to order it, the sales person essentially talked me out of it and kept pushing me towards the LT 50. I found that confusing because I had done lots of research, and have lots of experience with my LT 40 super hydraulic. I saw solo essentially 100% of the time and really liked the board return on the LX 450. I ended up not buying either mill and am still running my LT 40 super. Just thought it was odd they talked me out of buying that mill. I will say, however, I think you made an excellent choice. Enjoy.
Gotta say, I always enjoy your videos....mainly because of your calm demeanor and patience explaining certain things. Just ordered a MX5400 with R14T turfs. I watched your vids to make my final decision, Thanks from Minnesota 😎
Mike and Melissa, a new mill, wow!! 😀😀👍👍how cool is that. Then you will need a shirt with a picture of new mill set up caption Out Door With The Morgans "Making Sawdust". Praying for Eva. Y'all have a great day
I run an LT40HD that is about 20 years old now. I saw by myself so I'm am not surprised you upgraded. Without the hydraulic lift, stops, and leveling rollers, there is a lot of time consuming tasks that will now become routine. It does certainly speed up sawing but the main thing it just makes sawing a lot more fun. Congrats on the new mill. Can't wait to see it in action. I also subscribe to Nathan's "Out of the Woods" channel. I only live a few miles from his operation in east Tennessee.
Wow!,... I can't wait to see the LX450 in action, That is a Beautiful Cant on the sawmill. The opening video I really liked with your Building, Flag, & Sasquatch. Big Thumbs Up!
I watched both videos and the second is just as good as the first. Good for you Mike first the skid loader and now a new saw mill. Glad your hard work is paying off and your two steps closer to every mans bream. An adults sand box. Keep up the good work!
congratulations on getting a new mill. I'll send you a pic of our building we built for our mobile unit. has a I beam with a winch we use for turning long logs . plus we have the extension so we can cut up to 20 ft. we load logs with the forks on the tractor. took the load arms off years ago. we have several drying sheds we built as well you might like the idea. we even built a solar killen.
Thatis a great log from your neighbors! Nice to hear about your new sawmill! That will increase your efficiency and production! You are right Melissa is irreplaceable! You both are irreplaceable. When you build your shed, are you going to leave a permanent opening to bring logs to the sawmill, Or will you have an automatic door that will lift? On your new sawmill, will you be getting the device that slides your boards off the log? I am not sure what it is called, but saw that on a few sawmill UA-cam channels. It is great to see you grow with production, and equipment over the last year. 2022 will be an even better year for you and Outdoor with the Morgans!
Awesome. You have done very well with the youtube. It is great that you can purchase all the new tools, vehicles, buildings and machines to support the entertainment production. The American Dream in action. Love it.
Great choice on upgrading the mill.. I started with a manual, and within a year added the hydraulic options (different brand of mill). When ever i watched the saw-milling segments of your videos I always thought . the mill needs to be higher off the ground and if Mike knew how much hydraulics help, we would never look back. When is the kiln, coming?
Saw mill upgrade will be perfect. Melissa will not be replaced but promoted to a supervisory position as well as finance VP. Always enjoy your music selections
So glad you picked your answer carefully when Melissa said that she is going to be replaced. A slip of the tongue could have had terrible repercussions lol.
Your first mill will always be the first one period. I would not get rid of it at all. If anything, I would mount it with some thought on whats best for sawdust discharge and put on a flatbed trailer so its alway level to the trailer. Make it rigid an then if you tow it to a neighbors, it would set most anywhere and that trailer would be able to store a days or more cuttings, sorted and stickered and all. A small blade shed for blades, small tools, broom, shovel, cant hook because I think you said a skidsteer is in the future too. I wouldn't involve the skidsteer hauling on that trailer, just milling. It makes sense as set up takes time and if the mill and saw are in time with each other, the angle of the trailer "not too exaggerated" would not matter as long as everything is safe. I did it with a mill and it worked so dang good I thought others would copy it. Its a win win and most times the time someplace else doesn't make sense to haul a bigger mill to. I would just about bet that in most cases, its the value of the wood, not the volume of it. You get the new mill set up proper, its going to stay there as it should. I don't think you like people like me telling you these ideas as your your own man and can think for yourself just fine. I have done it too and it was good for me. Oh, no one would ever let you live it down if it was to replace the lady of the house as we love her too. A truly wonderful woman in her own rights and so dang healthy.... errrr... I am jealous of that myself.
Happy New Year Morgan's !! Love your plans for the new year !! New sawmill and NOT replacing Melissa !! That's a joke - there's no way you would survive without Melissa, Mike !! And you know it !! In fact, you said it !! It always amazes me how much "free advice" and other comments you get - like it or not !! I'm referring in particular about Levi's footwear while working the sawmill and the comments that were posted !! Give them a break folks - they do use common sense and I know that practice safety 99.9,% of the time me. Just like most of us do !!
WOW! Just watched the videos of the LX-450. WOW! What a machine! Glad to hear y'all are going with a building to cover the area where you're going to place it. This is seriously going to increase your productivity! Congratulations and Best Wishes throughout this new year!
Good after morning Mike , no problem about the re post issue , all your loyal subscribers will watch and get to thumbs up a second time ;-) post more comments etc . As a bonus : seeing Melissa's smiling face twice in a day is just the Cats Meow ! ;-) so again - Good morning Hunter :-) and family and friends :-)
Hey Mel, the XL shirt I purchased fits GREAT after washing. It looked like XXXL at first, but I was wrong. Thank you for such fast shipping and I love the shirt! Happy new year!
Mike I heard you say the new sawmill will have a remote station which is awesome. My friend has a Woodmiser too. The first one had a remote stand and the one he has now has a seat to sit and ride on. He likes it better because he is sitting right behind the blade and can see if he needs to stop it really quick because of wire or nail ect. He said it is kinda like sitting in a big industrial/commercial sawmill cab sawing all day. Great video! Melissa you may like running the new sawmill. I have run one like y'all are getting. It is awesome.
Mike---After you get the logs cut, if you throw some water on the wood you'll see the grain pop out. You'll also get a better representation of the grain when you take pictures for yourself or your neighbor.
Make some of those oak logs 16-18 ft long and boards 1.5" thick or so for trailer decking. I know people here in the Hudson valley are always looking for them
Thanks for sharing with us Mike and Melissa, we enjoyed your video and we are happy that you'll get your belated birthday present and you approved of it too. What a gal you have Mike. Keep up the great job you all are doing around there. Have a great week and Eva, keep the faith ! Fred.
I remember the Jessie on Pure Life for Living had his mill on concrete blocks and was always having to level it. And his mill was also portable. He was under the gun to kick out the timbers for his home. He loaned it out and I don’t remember if he reset it on poured concrete slab. I guessed that you have yours on concrete slab. There is always a learning curve on equipment like the sawmills. And I have always enjoyed your music selections. Tavaris (Of CarTrek fame) uses several on the music selections when working on his cars.
Great news about your new sawmill, looking forward to its arrival, going to make it easier for you, Melissa and the excavator, have a Happy prosperous New year 👍🙂
I just watched a video of the lx450 since you mentioned it here. That thing is NICE! I'm thinking of purchasing a sawmill but I doubt I will be able to start out with anything that fancy
Slot of your music choices really makes your videos enjoyable. You have a great sense in picking just the right tunes to place on the vids. Keep up the great work.
Just been watching some videos of the 450 sweet bit of kit. I worked in the Motorised RV industry after the military and we used a lot of American Red Oak!
I have to agree with Nathan. I’ve been watching his channel as long as I’ve been watching yours. That hydraulic log turner is a HUGE time saver. I don’t care who you are, time is money. I think the Hydraulic mill is a very worthwhile investment. Never say never. I can see you upgrading someday. Maybe sooner than you realize.
Hi Mike, nice to hear of the new hydraulic mill! I have an LT40 Wide Super with the diesel and operator station (that Nathan suggested to me) on order since last March. I saw recently where my build date was pushed back to May 10th! Oh well, it is still getting closer each day. Keep up the great content. Happy New Year from western, NY.
Hey Mike and Melissa just want to say congrats. on the new toy coming in. It will make milling so much easier for you and Melissa. If you want to replace Melissa, I'll take her... JK. Lol She's a keeper and you have a wonderful woman. Sorry to hear you had a problem with 1 video, but your smart enough you knew how to handle it. Wow Mike that log you just milled is beautiful. Hope you put it to good use. Perhaps make a little something for your neighbor, the lady it came from. Just a thought.. Well good job and be safe
I was just joshing you about being the "board taker offer" when Levi runs the mill. That's a lot of money to get out of that task. 😆 Congratulations on the new mill. I watch Nathan use his and it's a beast. Y'all have a great day.
I'm finally getting my 150, in a couple weeks, Mike, part of the reason I ordered it was watching your videos, plus I had an lt28, and sold it. I ordered mine almost a year ago, and still waiting for delivery, was supposed to be here in July, but because of covid, etc. It was delayed, love the videos, am jealous of your log selection there, we mostly have pine here. God bless, happy New Year.
I'm glad Melissa is getting a new sawmill for her birthday.
She’s getting a skid steer also for her birthday lol
@@justinauman5438 I think that was her Christmas present! 😂😂
Lol
Will look great by the pool!!!
@@sherpa972 🤣🤣
September delivery is perfect, it provides plenty of time to get Melissa's pool installed and operational. You will never replace Melissa, Mike needs to make sure Melissa gets her toys as soon as Mike gets his new toys
A vote for the pool for Melissa!
Mike your neighbor seems like a nice person and seems like she is really enjoying that the wood is being used right. Maybe have uncle Jay make her some small thing out of it.
I was going to suggest the same thing as a thank you for the wood
Steven, Great idea, I totally agree👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Steven Carey, Great Idea
Mike, great episode.
This is the second time that you mentioned the rope that is the feed mechanism for the sawmill carriage. The first time you talked of it you showed a close-up image of the rope.

Yeah I'm wearing comfy clothes and drinking coffee in my recliner watching y'all and enjoying every it!!!🇺🇸☕💯
I can’t wait to see you ramp up production with that new LX450! That was a BEAUTIFUL red oak saw log.
Glad to hear you are getting a better sawmill you both deserve it I pray God bless you.
Mike and Melissa I beleive this will show up on Melissa's birthday! She gets a skid steer and a new sawmill. Way to go Melissa! 🤣😂 Prayers for Eva and Hunter. God bless in the New Year!
Don't forget the log splitter for the excavator.
Melissa gets the best gifts! Like when a guy buys his wife a table saw for Christmas. I have a brother in law just like that!
@@johnpyle8027 Too funny!
So excited for you on the new mill. I think folks look for things just to prove they are watching. Keep the videos coming .

Had a guy come out with a mobile saw mill to mill some boards for me once, he was wearing crocks. Boards turned out great, don’t sweat it Levi!

On your new sawmill, will you be getting the device that slides your boards off the log? I am not sure what it is called, but saw that on a few sawmill UA-cam channels. It is great to see you grow with production, and equipment over the last year. 2022 will be an even better year for you and Outdoor with the Morgans!
Awesome. You have done very well with the youtube. It is great that you can purchase all the new tools, vehicles, buildings and machines to support the entertainment production. The American Dream in action. Love it.
So glad Melissa is not being replaced and that she gave Mike the approval on the new saw mill.
Great choice on upgrading the mill.. I started with a manual, and within a year added the hydraulic options (different brand of mill). When ever i watched the saw-milling segments of your videos I always thought . the mill needs to be higher off the ground and if Mike knew how much hydraulics help, we would never look back. When is the kiln, coming?
I think its great you get all that free wood. You have a great neighbor.
Another Birthday present for Melissa!
That’s neat how you turn the log with straps but the new mill will be a game changer for you when you are milling.
Saw mill upgrade will be perfect. Melissa will not be replaced but promoted to a supervisory position as well as finance VP. Always enjoy your music selections
So glad you picked your answer carefully when Melissa said that she is going to be replaced. A slip of the tongue could have had terrible repercussions lol.
Your first mill will always be the first one period. I would not get rid of it at all. If anything, I would mount it with some thought on whats best for sawdust discharge and put on a flatbed trailer so its alway level to the trailer. Make it rigid an then if you tow it to a neighbors, it would set most anywhere and that trailer would be able to store a days or more cuttings, sorted and stickered and all. A small blade shed for blades, small tools, broom, shovel, cant hook because I think you said a skidsteer is in the future too. I wouldn't involve the skidsteer hauling on that trailer, just milling. It makes sense as set up takes time and if the mill and saw are in time with each other, the angle of the trailer "not too exaggerated" would not matter as long as everything is safe. I did it with a mill and it worked so dang good I thought others would copy it. Its a win win and most times the time someplace else doesn't make sense to haul a bigger mill to. I would just about bet that in most cases, its the value of the wood, not the volume of it. You get the new mill set up proper, its going to stay there as it should. I don't think you like people like me telling you these ideas as your your own man and can think for yourself just fine. I have done it too and it was good for me. Oh, no one would ever let you live it down if it was to replace the lady of the house as we love her too. A truly wonderful woman in her own rights and so dang healthy.... errrr... I am jealous of that myself.
Yeah....new mill.
Fantastic
Went manual to hydraulic after 12 years...no regrets whatsoever.
Happy New Year Morgan's !! Love your plans for the new year !! New sawmill and NOT replacing Melissa !! That's a joke - there's no way you would survive without Melissa, Mike !! And you know it !! In fact, you said it !! It always amazes me how much "free advice" and other comments you get - like it or not !! I'm referring in particular about Levi's footwear while working the sawmill and the comments that were posted !! Give them a break folks - they do use common sense and I know that practice safety 99.9,% of the time me. Just like most of us do !!
WOW! Just watched the videos of the LX-450. WOW! What a machine! Glad to hear y'all are going with a building to cover the area where you're going to place it. This is seriously going to increase your productivity! Congratulations and Best Wishes throughout this new year!
Good after morning Mike , no problem about the re post issue , all your loyal subscribers will watch and get to thumbs up a second time ;-)
post more comments etc . As a bonus : seeing Melissa's smiling face twice in a day is just the Cats Meow ! ;-) so again -
Good morning Hunter :-) and family and friends :-)
Hey Mel, the XL shirt I purchased fits GREAT after washing. It looked like XXXL at first, but I was wrong. Thank you for such fast shipping and I love the shirt! Happy new year!
That is nice wood!!!! What will you use it for?? Nice sales job on the new wood miser!!!!! Melissa “ I am being replaced!”
I love ur videos!! I'm from Central Illinois, I cut split all my wood by hand!! Keeps me young!! Hope ur family is well!! Thx LNK
Do you sell your wood,or use it to work with ,cabinets, etc??? LNK
Beautiful grain on the red oak
Happy 2022 guys. Enjoy tagging along with your adventures.
Mike I heard you say the new sawmill will have a remote station which is awesome. My friend has a Woodmiser too. The first one had a remote stand and the one he has now has a seat to sit and ride on. He likes it better because he is sitting right behind the blade and can see if he needs to stop it really quick because of wire or nail ect. He said it is kinda like sitting in a big industrial/commercial sawmill cab sawing all day. Great video! Melissa you may like running the new sawmill. I have run one like y'all are getting. It is awesome.
Mike---After you get the logs cut, if you throw some water on the wood you'll see the grain pop out. You'll also get a better representation of the grain when you take pictures for yourself or your neighbor.
Hi to all of you. Susan has a request of Melissa. Make a design for "Have a day". So Please consider and Have a Day.
Make some of those oak logs 16-18 ft long and boards 1.5" thick or so for trailer decking. I know people here in the Hudson valley are always looking for them
I would think they probably want white oak for that application.
Thanks for sharing with us Mike and Melissa, we enjoyed your video and we are happy that you'll get your belated birthday present and you approved of it too. What a gal you have Mike. Keep up the great job you all are doing around there. Have a great week and Eva, keep the faith ! Fred.
Beautiful looking wood in that log!
absolutely beautiful slabs of wood, been following you and Melissa for years, keep up the amazing work you guys do!!!
I remember the Jessie on Pure Life for Living had his mill on concrete blocks and was always having to level it. And his mill was also portable. He was under the gun to kick out the timbers for his home. He loaned it out and I don’t remember if he reset it on poured concrete slab. I guessed that you have yours on concrete slab. There is always a learning curve on equipment like the sawmills. And I have always enjoyed your music selections. Tavaris (Of CarTrek fame) uses several on the music selections when working on his cars.
Great news about your new sawmill, looking forward to its arrival, going to make it easier for you, Melissa and the excavator, have a Happy prosperous New year 👍🙂
Just watched a video on the LX450. Sweeeet. Can’t wait till y’all get it. Keep up the good work.
Bigfoot is cool but the flagpole and flag are cooler great job on that thank you for displaying the American flag properly
I just watched a video of the lx450 since you mentioned it here. That thing is NICE! I'm thinking of purchasing a sawmill but I doubt I will be able to start out with anything that fancy
Slot of your music choices really makes your videos enjoyable. You have a great sense in picking just the right tunes to place on the vids. Keep up the great work.
Nice family projects and love your projects. Just wondering about the longevity of that hose dragging on the logs. Thanks and God bless.
Just been watching some videos of the 450 sweet bit of kit. I worked in the Motorised RV industry after the military and we used a lot of American Red Oak!
The Carhartt hoodies are so nice. The waterproof ones are worth every penny!
Very nice, hoping to have use of a LT-35 HD shortly, exciting times! Stay safe folks. 🌴🍻🏝👍
Congratulations on the new mill Morgan's. Very nice very nice. L.e.d lights-BONUS...party time 🌳 🏡 🌲
I have to agree with Nathan. I’ve been watching his channel as long as I’ve been watching yours. That hydraulic log turner is a HUGE time saver. I don’t care who you are, time is money. I think the Hydraulic mill is a very worthwhile investment. Never say never. I can see you upgrading someday. Maybe sooner than you realize.
Ok. I should have watched longer before commenting 😂😂😂
Hi Mike, nice to hear of the new hydraulic mill! I have an LT40 Wide Super with the diesel and operator station (that Nathan suggested to me) on order since last March. I saw recently where my build date was pushed back to May 10th! Oh well, it is still getting closer each day. Keep up the great content. Happy New Year from western, NY.
Hey Mike and Melissa just want to say congrats. on the new toy coming in. It will make milling so much easier for you and Melissa. If you want to replace Melissa, I'll take her... JK. Lol She's a keeper and you have a wonderful woman. Sorry to hear you had a problem with 1 video, but your smart enough you knew how to handle it. Wow Mike that log you just milled is beautiful. Hope you put it to good use. Perhaps make a little something for your neighbor, the lady it came from. Just a thought.. Well good job and be safe
Hi Mike: Love your vids. I ordered a T-35 HD in the end of July. Woodmiser told me there is a 75 week wait. Glad you are not having to wait that long.
Congrats Melissa on your new sawmill, Happy Birthday
Still waiting for The Bosses pool. You have the patience of a Saint Melissa 🙏. Happy New Year from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Another great video! Melissa always smiling and crackin jokes adds such a fun aspect to these videos! Happy New Year Morgans!
Workboots, my missus goes nuts cos I wear my slippers doing DIY . Keep doing what your doing Levi 👍
I was just joshing you about being the "board taker offer" when Levi runs the mill. That's a lot of money to get out of that task. 😆 Congratulations on the new mill. I watch Nathan use his and it's a beast. Y'all have a great day.
Totally Psyched about the new mill .... Can’t wait to see the new Mill Shed... Congrats!!! Nathan’s prolly gigglin’...!!!
That new mill sounds exciting. You will be able to cut special request orders with something like that.
I'm finally getting my 150, in a couple weeks, Mike, part of the reason I ordered it was watching your videos, plus I had an lt28, and sold it. I ordered mine almost a year ago, and still waiting for delivery, was supposed to be here in July, but because of covid, etc. It was delayed, love the videos, am jealous of your log selection there, we mostly have pine here. God bless, happy New Year.
Thanks Mike for the good news .
