Nathan it is a real pleasure to watch you working hard making $$$$$.....Thanks so much 👍

@@steveshoemaker6347 Yep, hard work fascinates me, too. At this point in my life I can sit and watch it all day.

Mr Elliott: You are very fortunate gentleman. With each new video you receive advice on how to run your life and business from the 99.99999% of your subscribers, including and probably especially me, who have never, do not presently, and never will own or work at a sawmill. Should you ever need assistance in determining which side of a board is up you need look no further than these comments. Yes indeed, you have a veritable cornucopia of wisdom and knowledge placed electronically at your fingertips at least 2 - 3 times per week. May your success in this regard continue unabated and unabashed as always.
We are not allowed to landfill stuff like that in the UK, our dump is a series of containers for all the different stuff , you have to place each item in its correct container, these are then recycled.
Yep , I echoed how shocked I was at the landfill 👍🏴
It's that way most places even in the US. Thought what people put out at the curb that have curbside pickup for their recyclables and garbage it's hard to say if the Garbage company takes it to landfill or they sort it out before loading the trucks that hall to the landfill.
Same here in Germany. The recycle yards are a work of art lol😂
Depends on where you live in the US. Many of our more rural areas have little to no recycling capabilities for non hazardous trash. Don't forget about the shear size difference in our countries ;)
@@DaveW74TVN yes I did mention that 👍😃🏴
Holly flip flop flappin smokes everyone, love it. First cut 13:20.
I can second on that free advice. Be it logs or anything else, don’t leave it in front of your trailers.
Also, I used to be that guy that would take any little bit of scrap and save it for taking to the yard. I’m finding more and more that it’s not worth my time. Which is a good thing. It means my time/labor is more valuable than it used to be.
There is a knife maker somewhere watching this and crying that you threw away those saw blades. I would have cut sections to make some nice hacksaw blades for trimming large branches. Maybe welding two sections together to stiffen it to make ice saws for going ice fishing.
You ask in another video if we would like to see videos of other things you do other than sawmilling. I would. I faithfully watch several channels on you tube and consider you 'extended family'. and interested in the things you do and say. I love to see the wood grain on special woods you cut. Beautiful trees. Enjoy your day. s/Faye in Texas.
Always so relaxing to watch, especially with the stunning acoustic music
Have you considered making/modifying a chain conveyor for sawdust removal through the wall and directly into a trailer. Then you only have to push up the sawdust a couple of feet for cleanup. Plus, you can carry the trailer directly to the compost pile. And if you have walnut, you can dump the trailer at the burn pile.
And slabs and cut-offs are sold here for firewood. If you let them, people will come haul away your slabs and cutoffs for free.. Or they may pay you or Bruno (for handling the marketing).. Strapped 3ft x 10 foot bundles of slabs go for $30 here..
Good ideas here
Nice of you to help out another small business. You have a good heart Nathan. Stay safe.
small grain (scoop) shovel might be a better choice for the sawdust. probably much better than a snow shovel
Make the dump trailer spot longer so to park the iron bull trailer. I've watched your story for since you got the LT-40 and you don't hurry or rush. You have an easy going demeanor and that's nice.
Those band saw blades make some pretty nice filet and kitchen knives.... If you are in to that sort of thing. My Great Grandfather used to make butcher knives out of the old round sawmill blades. I sure wish I had one of those now.
Amazed to see landfills are still used in the US. Was banned some 30 yrs ago in Europe.
Great life, Great video. Thanks again for sharing your time and energy! KANSAS
.
pickup load of aluminum cleaned (3days of time to clean)$200.00 part 4th day to take in. stainless less . and if its not prepped , i used less gas to throw away than to haul in.
Bringing scrap to the recycler keeps it out of the landfill! Regardless of the money you get back!
Should at least have a dumpster to dispose of that stuff some place like the at the landfill or township garage or maybe even the local high school that they can make some money off that stuff
John Haas,
Our local metal recycle center where my cousin works ships all their metal back to China currently, the diesel it takes to transport the metal from TN to the port then on a ship to China pretty much cancels out the recycling of it, way more pollution is produced by shipping it to China than me throwing it in the landfill, also the recycle center and land fill I showed in the video is just over the state line in VA, not in my home state of TN, I live about 5 miles from Virginia, I conduct a lot of business over there,
thanks for watching
You rock, brother! Keep up the great work! Chip
Eyaah, I see this is build back better, in Europe we have to sort everything by hand on the dumping place in all kind of catogories, and you can just dump everything like you want, I do not have any words for this!!!! I am out of words for what I am seeeing!!!!! And on top of that, we have to pay for it in most places!!!
You might like an aluminum grain shovel in place of the snow sovels for moving sawdust.
Another good day, cheers.
Taking things to the dump...
I'm watching from suburban Chicago (have been for years), where the population of the metro area is about 20 to 25% MORE than the entire state of Tennessee. We take things to the curb...the end of the driveway..., and the local waste management company picks everything up once or twice a week depending on what neighborhood you live in. Big items like refrigerators, couches, beds - you just phone the company, pay an extra couple of dollars, and they pick those up too. And where it's all dumped is affectionately known as 'Mount Trashmore'. It would give some of the smaller Tennessee hills a run for their money.
"Scavengers" come around the evening before 'trash day', in beat up old pick up trucks, and pick up metal items of all kind, and then take their truck to a local metal recycler.
Nathan, we have to separate all our trash when we go to the tip/waste centre. Metal goes into a metal bin, wood into a wood bin, paper/card the same, green waste in its own bin, non-recyclable stuff in another one. Cant just drop it off in one pile now.
this is in the UK by the way!
Good looking wood you milled Nathan, thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe around there. Fred.
You could ask a local scrapper to come by and pick up your metal. You don't have to go to the landfill with it and they aggregate to their total weight. In the end you save money. There is someone who collects scrap in your area just ask around. Every little bit helps and as my very young daughter the accountant says nickels make dimes.
I love your content, and the music in between is just awesome!
Awesome, thank you!
Have you ever considered selling your sawdust for like under swimming pool liners like sand is usually used for. You can bag up your sawdust in sandbags. Just a thought. Enjoy your content. Take care.
Thanks for the tip
Why do you not have a secondary blower to pump your dust outside ? I know you talked about one-at-one time
No clue on the guesswork but this shows a typical behind the scenes busy day running a home based business. Thanks for taking us along.
Yes sir
Used to think those powered grease guns were ridiculous kinda like a electric toothbrush lol At my newish job we have bearings that need greased multiple times a day and sometimes it’s difficult to pump a manual gun because the lines to get the grease to the bearings are 10 feet long and it’s cold here in Michigan. Having a pneumatic grease gun out there made me change my mind real fast. Lol
Good investment for sure
Hate going to our local landfill. It’s such a disaster and the likelihood of picking up some debris in a tire is pretty high. My dump trailer tires have numerous plugs each.
Scrap metal is bringing @$7/100# here. Not hardly worth carrying lite loads for sure 👍🏼
I was hoping for a little more info on how you made money using the sawmill. I run a woodlot for my family's buisness and sell firewood but some of the wood is to nice to sell as firewood. Just not sure how to get into it all and stay in the green.
Actually having a BIG HEAVY log in front of your trailers is a real good idea and get some apple tags and find a frame or channel with a hole and drop in or superglue it and set it and leave it, being preventative is better than looking for a needle in Tenn. unfortunately it is a big problem in S.C along with boats and RV's anything with a hitch.
I Absolutely love the music. Sure wish I knew who it was.
Sometimes the money doesn't cover the cost of gas 😂 hope all is well 🎉❤🎉
Hey Joe Good to see ya
Well that taught me a lesson, thank you, will be more positive in the future!
Some people make interesting things out of old sawblades like that even some people with foundries might take them and pay good money for them you never know.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses a snow shovel for something else other than snow!🤣
You could possibly give the saw blades to a knife maker or so, won't get you more money but could make someone very happy
24 is the first number that popped up in my head.
You keep saying barn siding..but I keep hearing ..table tops..lol
hi there good show , interesting on how each sawyer saws different , and also the blades are 90 degrees different then on a circular mill , so your top is my side , and i dont think most circular mill sawyers look at the wood as well band mill sawyers , . john
Hey Nathan
My ancestors are from Tennessee. If you come across any Horner's we're related. Love your accent.
All this metal will be buried? You don't have a circuit for the recovery and recycling of metals, and perhaps other waste that could be valorized?
you can use your old saw mill band saw and make a few buck saw blades or evan some hack saw or any other saw you have -branch cutting small piece of timber-
Sweet new ride Jason and can't wait to head North for a few days fishing and fence boards what more could a man ask for😂✌️ Napa California
Loveing it keep up the great job, Memphis tn
Great video Nathan. It’s just awesome to see an old log or a new log being cut and made into lumber. 👍❤️
Excellent video ❤😊🪵👍
you can use your old saw blade to make buck saw blade or even hack saw blade!
I guess 24 1x6 boards out of the log. I just need a saw mill now!
Hi Nathan, my guess is 23 one by sixes. Keep up the good work. I watch all of your videos and like them very much. Bill H from Cranberry Township PA
I actually won a giveaway that Killinger had some time ago!
These suspenders are awesome, I truly enjoy them!
Many props to You Chris and thanks again ever so much!
So, Nathan what factors in to when a saw blade can't be sharpened anymore? Is there a minimum amount of material from the bottom of the gullet to the back of the blade? Great video thumbs up.
Welcome back to UA-cam friend! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
FORGET THE SCRAPMETAL UNLESS YOU'RE IN A WELDSHOP OR SHEETMETAL SHOP. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO NATHAN.🙏🇺🇲✌️👍🏻
Nathan when you cut 2x6’s, you cu5the log into 2 6” cants, just wondering when you don’t cut both cants into 2x6’s at the same time, seems like you would only make half the passes thru the mill.
I'm guessing 18. Looks like it will work but then it's not quite enough and he has to cut a whole extra log for two boards. To often that's how things work out.
Got some nice barbecue slabs there 👍🏻
In terms of cleaning out the shed, how often would you actually need to pull the Wood Mizer right out to clean that whole area of sawdust, and so on, it must accumulate reasonably quickly under and around the saw, regards from Auckland NZ
I realize that it's not worth selling it but if the landfill is charging to dump you could always advise on one of the social medias and have someone come pick it up for free to recycle ♻️, less headache and less hassle.
They never show up. If I wait I’ll have a mount tian of it
I’ve tried. Landfill is not fun
Have you planted a garden this year?
The saw head on that LT40 was shaking quite a bit. I hope that didn't produce a wavy cut in that log.
I agree, that will not be grade lumber. We would cull boards like that.
That may 😊 20 boards 😊was falling asleep 😊🤔👍👍👍🤔
Seems like those suspenders go quickly...another great video!!!
Yes they do
Just curious why you don’t saw boards out of both cants at the same time?
How well does the small solar unit on top of your dump trailer battery box keep your batteries charged?
Works very good.
21 boards. You might give your knife smith friend a shout he might want those old saw blades for making knives.
Why do you not have carbide blades? I know someone that does and they last a very long time
You've probably spotted it already Nathan, but my 'engineer's eye' picked up that the non operators end of the bed was deflecting a little bit, as the carriage advanced. Maybe half a turn up on the legs at that end? I don't even know that it would have any effect, but I know you are a stickler for accuracy. I wonder if you have to pay for having a trailer load at the dump? The two council tips available to me do not allow trailers, period. Unless I pay for them (north of $50 per visit) and they are extremely picky about what I could tip. The most likely scenario; they would have a row of skips and I'd have to sort the load myself into the appropriate skip. Have a good one.
have you seen the new log splitter ( 30 ton skid steer log splitter ) its awesome
Are there any metal scrap yards around?
Good show Nathan 👍👍👍👍
I'm gonna guess 28- mark that up to faith in your skills Nathan. BTW UA-cam is inundating this video with ads WAY more than normal- Tyler
I would bet a local artist might want those old blades.
Have you ever thought of raising the sides of the trailer when you carry the logs?
19 boards. I know I'm late but I'm watching it for the first time
was any knives smiths contacted you about the old saw blades?
Dang Nathan, new sawmill, new truck, new trailers, new track-steer, new tractor--how much is UA-cam paying you?
Wood is what pays me. UA-cam is weekend $
I got no way of calculating board foot out of that log other than what you said. And I'll go with your guess but lower 20
How many times can you sharpen a blade before it's junk?
Nathan my guess would be 22. 1x6's.
28 1x6, good luck
Thanks 🙏
Man if I was a blacksmith I’d pay for the blades . A lot of blacksmith’s use blades to forge Damascus blades from. Do you know a local blacksmith?
Noticed your Bluetooth earbuds, (I have the same ones) got me thinking. What do you listen to the most; music, audiobooks, podcast combination of everything? I find myself listening to music the most while working around the mill. Really enjoy your videos. 6:25
Audio books and some podcast. Rarely Musix
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I have a hard time focusing on what I’m listening to right now. Still very new. I’ll listen to an hour of a book and couldn’t tell ya anything about it. Musics good for me right now.
@@TheBeardedAlaskanSawyer understood 👍👍
If you have a blacksmith/knife maker around give him the saw blades that's great knifestock.
I tried that and they wanted me to deliver them, I guess too lazy to come get free metal,
Nathan, didn't Jake Dean have a nice vacuum system to get his sawdust into another building at his place in Georgia? What does Jake use his sawdust for? Does he sell it, and if so, couldn't you also sell it?
Nice Hat, i was able to get one of those too
In Huntsville, AL we get $7.00 for 100 lbs.
Was it my imagination, or was the Presley sawmill head bouncing up and down as he was cutting?
How many times will you sharpen your sawmill blades before you take them to the landfill thanks and I guess 23
3 times usually
How many sharpening's do you get before you have to throw the blade out?
I think he has mentioned 5 to 7
Really enjoy your videos! I tried to find the suspenders but I guess they’re sold out. Go DAWGS!

Have you thought about hooking up a blower unit for your saw dust?
Hey Nathan, I was just wondering if there is a market for sawdust? It seems it could be compressed into fireplace logs. Just wondering.
Right? Isn’t that what the pellets are made of?
@@thorzyan Yes that's what pellets are made of
I guess I missed something. Why do you cut boards on your Woodmizer, and then haul them to another sawmill site that had a Woodmizer and a bunch of logs???? Donating them to a friend in need?
I think in an earlier episode he explained that his friend didn't have the supply of red oak needed for the order, so he was helping him out.
What does the LT in LT40 / LT70 mean ?
I seen the video of when you did a shop tour of another sawyer. Georgia I think. He had a dust system that traveled with the mill/motor. Have you ever considered something similar. I’m a hobby woodworker and my sawdust piles up pretty quickly. Can’t even imagine how much y’all get. Just wondering! Keep up the good videos. Peace!
Landfill ?… oh that’s SO disappointing Nathan , is there no local recycling centre nearby ? Here in the uk , ok it’s a very much smaller country granted , there are local recycling centres everywhere, they separate metal, cardboard, wood , plastics etc … I’m shocked that a high tech country like the USA still dumps waste in landfills . Doesn’t change the fact I adore your channel and your content , I’m just shocked I guess .
👍🏴
He said it ain't worth taking two salvage yard for what he would get. It's a shame that Isn't a dumpster for metal at the landfill or the township garage to throw that stuff in. Red states might not care about recycling as much
@@johnhaas2523 yeah I caught that about it not being worth his while , but in most of Europe and def in UK it’s illegal to do what was seen in the vid, the local council , your local county I guess , are required by national law to provide these services as they are penalised by national government for every ton that goes into landfill , it’s been going on for years here and we are all pretty much in the habit of going off to our local facility to bin separately ,glass, aluminium, wood, plastic,domestic appliances, rubble etc and the council recoups some or most of the cost selling the scrap etc and making compost from organic material . It’s a crying shame this is still an ok thing to do in such a developed country as the US . Ps … I never did figure this out , what is a red state ?
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I don't think there's a lot of places in the United States even that allow it. Nathan lives in a red state aka a republican state that probably doesn't give a shit
John that landfill was in VA, not TN, lets not bring politics to my channel, we get enough of it already,
thanks for watching
Are you using the sawdust as compost or just burning it or...? You generate a lot of the stuff and it seems like some creative way to use it would be in order. I am just curious what you do with it.
He burns it.
