I love watching you two work together. You have learned what a partnership is. Kindness and respect seem to flow from you and that will go a long way toward a happy life together for a very long time. Look what you have already accomplished in such a short time. Your garden and chicken area has been transformed already just since the snow melt!
You two are a great team and work together nicely. Mike, you are a good teacher and Liz, you are a great student learning something new each day.
Seems like you could hook up a weight and Polly‘s system to pull the Saul forward for you or at least reduce the force you have to use to push it forward to make the thing a little bit more automatic.
Pretty cool ..isn’t it cool to plan and flow on it getting to see it all accomplished!! One the things I think is so full feeling ...planning and fulfilling it 💫🥰
You two work so good together 5 stars. Mike you better look out she is after your job lol. Rock on Liz
Please do walk under the boom of the loader with out a hard hat.
Mike and Liz you work so well together. Mike did a wonderful job of teaching Liz a new trade and Liz is a very quick learner. Great job guys and I am looking forward to your next video as always.
Good job guys! Reminds me of the first house we built in Alaska some 25 years ago where we pulled a Wood-Mizer portable bandsaw mill onto our property and milled enough Beetle-killed logs to build a 1,400 square foot house, even constructing our own trusses.
Love watching you all…I get so happy when a new video comes out. You did great Liz, if I may.. You need a good trauma kit in the lower shed. Something that has a tourniquet and lots of stuff to stop bleeding out. With the saw mill/chainsaws and heavy equipment I just want you both to be safe and prepared to self rescue.
Awesome job on the future shiplap boards, you did a great job Liz! The log tongs work really good with the excavator made everyone's life easier. Love ya'll ❤️
Great sawmill video! I think I may try a harbor freight sawmill after seeing how well you make it work. Thanks again!
Great job guys. You two work well together. I'll be watching to see how you progress. God bless and stay safe.
I am sure Mike you realize how fortunate you are to have such a spouse who gets so involved in all your projects! I have the same type of lady! Never miss your channel and watched from Galway, Ireland while on vacation for this video
OK Mike now you have made it so everyone will want a Liz to run their mill, lol. Great Job Liz.
great stuff. Please think about wearing eye and hearing protection. That is some serious machinery you guys are running!
Liz was doing the Idaho shuffle or maybe the two step when pushing the sawmill. Good job 👍
If you made a shallower first cut, for the base to rest on, the last cut would be possible. Also its possible to nip the base or very bottom edge to hold it steady. or even mount a previously cut plank to the bottom to 'lift' the last cut clear.
Great catch finding that chunk of wood stuck in there. I would have thrown another blade off first for sure.
Great video!!!
Man, can you believe that you are almost at 50K subs? You guys have earned it and hopefully you'll hit the 100K mark by years end, woo,woo! Your content is good and you are teaching others how you do things so that they can copy your successes on their own property.
My grandmothers house was built in 1856! The floor Joyce’s looked like your wood if you took a cut out of the top and bottom and that is it! It was interesting going in that part of the basement!
Never have your hand on the height adjuster for any reason other than what it was intended for. Always start with the small end and level the "Pith" so you are sawing parallel to the grain. Raise your mill about 12'' off the slab for easy cleaning and operation.
Idaho is much colder and rainier in June than I thought it was!
I'm not tryin to sound like a know it all but from my own experience with my sawmill, keep proper tension on the blade and adjust the guide closer to the cant. It'll help reduce the amount of dipping of the blade
Liz, Great to see you learning how to do this.
Very exciting watching the progress!
Peavey log rollers are great for moving large rocks too. We have cleared so many from our property with one.
Might want to consider getting a rope for a tag line so you can hold the log while moving onto mill but able to stay back away just in case it accidentally drops. Love your channel.
Very good job you guys of came along way since you started so keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching God bless
Great content 😁the lady can mill that shiplap👍and that excavtor soooo much easier loading the mill than last year I'd watched in fear of a rollback into a chin🤕or worse you all got a handle on it now👍👏
We don’t miss that!
Great job running the saw mill Liz
Keep Up The Great Work!!!! You Both are doing a great job!!!
Awesome. I see you guys are in Idaho. We're in northern Idaho taking raw land to a homestead for long term sustainability and independence. Good videos. Only thing I'd add is always wear gloves when handling the sawmill blades. I'd like to say I learned this the hard way but even after getting a decent cut in my hand I sometimes don't heed my own advice.
If you get a couple small pieces of conveyor belt material... You can form a sweeper for your tracks...
I use to run a circular mill 52" driven by a Cummins Diesel.. I set up the mill and could cut 47 feet and it was off less than a 32 of an inch
Well for starters I love the dogs 💞 Now enjoyed the video and you 2 always produce good videos. Your definitely a team and it shows. 👍
and they were smart enough to make the base of the saw mill long enough for a bigger mill down the road.
Great job Liz, you’ll be a milling pro before you know it! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Good choice using wood on the walls. Drywall boards suck if you don’t keep drywall climate controlled it deteriorates quickly and will absorb humidity and will grow mold. Plus you’ve already bought the wood on your property just have to cut and mill it.
Sawing looks like fun ,but hard work.😀A Lot to learn!
It is hard work! And a lot to learn! Especially math!!
Yeah, any kid that doesn't think they need or use math in real life - SHOW 'EM THIS VID!!!
enjoy watching Liz you are wonderful !
Friday, July 1, I just ended a 20-year career in the sawmilling industry. When the blade popped off, it SHOULD have scared you. In my experience, you shouldn't be afraid of the machines, but you should always be mindful of anything out of the ordinary, anything that could cause you or those around you harm. My wife thinks I should invest in a portable sawmill.
What lucky young man you are Mike🔥. You two are a great team
Getting better at the excavator maneuvers. Fuel is so high you don't have much time to play with it. But play is what needs to happen to increase skill, really come down to familiarity of machine nuances, you ability to get the tongs on that log was sweet work, keep up Yall knocking it outta the park. P.S. send rain we'll send the heat we got plenty
You could put two pieces under the board that was left and cut the rest of the board without hitting the metal parts.🧡🧡🧡🧡
Go get em girl, Love how you'll try everything to be a full helping partner with Mike. Much nicer seeng that smile on your face after a job well done, so cool.
The people want to see some kayaking vids!!
I will say it scared me also when a blade would come off while sawing, the first one was the worst scare but alls well that ends well... just change shorts and go again/LOL... the garden should start going well now that the nights are a bit warmer. Good going kids
Just delivered my tiny home to my property in North Idaho last week! Shiplap on all the walls except ONE. Drywall cracked during shipment! Also so much rain up there that it was hard to get the septic and electric hooked up!
What does that have to do with this UA-cam video………nothing. Guess what, I bought a rototiller and went grocery shopping yesterday.
Great video Mike and Liz
Their dog is precious! This channel always fun and exciting thumbs up guys tell yer friends !
New subscriber here. Enjoy watching what you have going on.
Do all this wile you are young. As you get older the body won't be as agreeable as it is now.
Keep M coming.
Liz on the north end of the camera is always a good day.
Love woodworking!❤👍
Nice video, good job. You guys will save yourself a lot of aggravation if you use the lock handles on that mill. You shouldn't have to hold the height adjusting handle while cutting. In fact your mill will track straighter and roll easier if you push with right hand on the handle by the throttle and the left hand on the gas tank. The lock handles are the silver pipes on each side that flip up and down. Down locks the height once you set it. Sitting here covered in sawdust from using my mill all day. Cheers!
Great work Great family
Great job you two. Loved the video.
Looking forward to you fixing the hillside next to the barndo.
When stacking on stickers. Stickers should be vertical with each other to support the weight. And also be near the sands of the boards as the sticker slows the drying on the end and stops the board from splitting. They generally split to the sticker so keep it to 1/2” or 1” from the end unless you have some different length lumber you are stacking. Great content and you guys are making a lot of progress. Keep up the good work
Catching up on some of your videos. Looking good. Learning some new skills.
Another awesome video, hope to make it to N. Idaho the 23rd of July for the meet up if we score a couple tickets. Hoping Diesel doesn't get any higher or we may be stuck in this Texas heat.
It's great to see a couple of young people work together so well. I just love the "little" piece of equipment that you use to move the logs. My respect to the two of you.
I'm amazed that worked. Getting a perfect 90 like that. Well done.
That excavator is extreme overkill for that job, but probably cheaper than a smaller one that everybody wants.
Great job love watching you two
You will love the rabbit really good 👍
Good job on milling the log.
Hey Mike! Hey doggies! For the price I'm not sure you can beat that HF mill. The Preditor engines get great reviews form this to lawnmowers.
Good job Liz.
Your “Laid back living” is looking like a lot of work!
Super job guys! Good you remembered to 'trice' up your hair Liz - it can be a real hazard around heavy jobs!
Great job especially with a Harbor freight sawmill, They really do work
Pretty cool man you got a lot nice wood out of that one🙂
Oh good homegrown folks teaching learning living 🙏✌🤟
Your P.V. we refer to it as a “ Timber Jack “ in NZ 🇳🇿Liz your enthusiasm and reasoning is both important for situations of willingness to adaptation and your determination is absolutely amazing you deserve every opportunity to succeed greatly appreciate your videos
In the South, we call 'em "log ox", or "log dog" (for the smaller one).
In Tennesee, we call it a Cant hook.
Good looking logs. Just an idea for you two. You mentioned rabbits. I would posit you consider quail. Great for eggs and meat. Easy to raise and butcher. GB.
...LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP SAFE..
Beautiful wood!
Rock on, you got this.
Good work you two.
You're a very lucky man, do you have a beautiful wife and she wants to learn to help you around the farm. Great job young lady God bless have a great day
great job with the mill . I would agree with the suggestion of others to wear some ear protectors.
At 10:09 Liz is doing the E Street Shuffle.
Always use lubricant when sawing logs, normally windshield washer fluid, with band saws as it saves wear on the blade, along makes cutting easier.
Not a soap solution ?washer fluid?
Some kind of pole or hook to get the log tongs off would be a good idea. Hydraulic lines can burst very unpredictably, dropping the boom faster than you can imagine, especially on older equipment; you don't want any part of your body potentially in the crush zone.
Always wash the dirt off your logs saves the cutting band invest in a blade setter you can sharpen your old blades
On those last piece of the cant that you can't 😀 cut, put the last two boards you cut under the remainder, raising it up. 👍
Great video working. Woodworking great show
I'm brand new and just subscribed, so be full of surprises to brighten my mornings
Nice work again.
Have you guys been through the "harbor freight" bandsaw mill improvement videos to make your mill work better for you?
Good blades is a plus!
Got your email, thanks. Sorry, I do not have Telegram.
She is a natural . you guys are so cool
Levi’s are my favorite!
SWEET VIDEO !! 😊
you are living the dream.
Super sweet work y’all
Thanks!
Great partnership! But you guys need More sun protection and larger brim hats. That will do a lot to prevent wrinkles, sun cancers on face, lower lip and tops of ears and Cataracts. I know, having been there and done that. Dr Frank, Australia, the world capital of Sun-induced skin damage.
Guys use more stickers so the boards are supported and dry straight.
Peavey has a point, you should get a canthook...
you guys are Awesome
Eu gosto muito do trabalho de vocês ❤
Not much information of your area,... but it is interesting that your using a harbor freight saw mill.
You should put stickers every 16" minimum.
