The 180 quote totally caught me off guard . That's funny 😂 . You don't get much more transparent than scaling logs on video. Very hard working honest people ! Great video .
Not only work ethic but also integrity with honesty in logging numbers. Boss man and family deserve way more credit than many others doing the same business
These videos are not only good for the immediate business,but also, everyone involved is learning videography,editing,scripting etc etc. It's good to be diverse.
Really informative! I’ve been a carpenter over 40 years but didn’t understand how a log was scaled. You schooled me today! And you made it easy to understand! Thanks you!
The videos just keep getting better and better. Emerald's presentation is now very polished and relaxed and Jade's camera work and editing is really great!!
Very informative. You are doing a great job of teaching what is required to run a lumber yard. I have great respect for you and your family for what you all do.
Wow, that was a great video Emerald. You answered my question about how you put the logs on the mill, I noticed all the number are on the operator end. Thanks for being fair and honest with your calculations too, it will only bolster the yards credibility! And thanks to the camera lady (Jade) for the stead hand a great shots. Have a great evening ladies! TTFN
I came upon your site about a month and a half ago. I was so impressed with what I saw, that I went back to your first video and I can now happily say I have watched every one. I am awe-struck by how much your youtube channel has grown. I find your videos very insightful and informative. Your father is a great man in that he is both very instructive and educated. Now educated doesn't necessarily mean higher education the school of hard knocks can leave a great impression on us. Your parent has raised a group of children that are not only respectful but have learned the value of hard labor. I look forward to more videos and GOD BLESS you all.
I have noticed that when the logs are being milled, there is no extra cutting for length. Looking at the pile there , they appear to be perfectly cut to length and square ends. Bossman is a pro with chainsaws! Love the videos and the story they tell. Thank you Em for you details to perfection.
This was a very interesting video; it's always great to find examples of the relevance of learning mathematics. Log scaling illustrates the relevance of learning geometry to solve the volumetric puzzles involved in measuring lumber quantities. Thank you for sharing your expertise with such clarity, honesty, and enthusiasm!
I thought you put it on the mill and cut it up, didn't know there was so much work involved before they get near a saw blade. Thank you I learned something new today. I'm a woodworker, this makes me appreciate the people at mill.
No hyperbole here, that actually is the Best Log Scaling Video on UA-cam! There is also a 'old school' element that is much appreciated, using a Scribner and pen and paper, something about that just seems right when working with wood.
Do you have a scaling license or ticket? In Canada scaling is a government regulated measurement system with trained licensed scalers. We use alot of the same principles as you describe, but the end payment is made on the net cubic meters of wood fiber, not board feet. Logs with defects are given a lower grade and payment level. Scaling is much easier after you have sawn logs into lumber. At a glance you can measure lose of lumber production due to a defect. Good job. Keep it going. There is so much you need to know to operate a sawmill!!
this is not only the best but the only scaling video I've watched on here. I will admit I didn't know that this was the way everything was calculated. Glad I have nothing to do with it, as being an English major, I hate math.
You are a good teacher, your use of terms and language is very consistent, and this logger talk is like a different technical language, and you have to learn it and teach it properly to function in this industry, good show. The best teacher is a person is teaching what they have recently learned I look forward to watching your family and your lumber yard grow, subscribed.
I now know what the numbers are when the logs are rolled onto the mill, I always wondered. I appreciate learning about your business, thanks for another interesting video
Love your Lake Placid/Adirondacks shirt! We love that area, and go there every summer. Don't miss out on a Michigan Dog at the Whitebrook Dairy Bar in Wilmington. We stay at Mountain Brook Lodge in Wilmington, which has an outstanding view of Whiteface Mountain, and I fish in the East Branch of the Ausable River there. Don't miss The Flume swimming hole just 100 ft. north of the bridge over the Ausable across from the Hungry Trout Restaurant and Resort. It's fantastic!!
That was most astoundingly the most interesting video (and they were all very interesting) on your channel thus far! Maybe because it dealt with a topic I was utterly unaware of in the first place... but anyway, great video!!
Thanks for that lesson. You have a lot of knowledge to go along with your honesty and integrity. As an aside, I notice you are right handed. A while back you were nursing the right hand and did many tasks left handed. You did them well. Some people would be lost in that situation.
Please note buyers or sawmill owners doesn't usually scale there own logs.They are scaled by bureau scalers so there no conflict between sawmill and landowners.Logs are almost always laid out on skids when scaling.
Mad props to the parents n this family, grandpa to, all the kids seem like hard working kids even the lil guy was cutting wood, if the rest of America was like this we would b n alot better shape, old school family values, thats how all of us were raised , I'm n my 40s now but most the newer generation lost something, a hard days work makes that evening rip or cold beer so much better, KEEP IT UP!!!!
Great video, nice load of hemlock, rather small stack of slabs. We need to get you a same sized pile of white oak logs. Thank you for bringing us along.
Great video of an important step in the forest products industry. I was taught to do what's fair while scaling. All trees are different and some vendors send some interesting interpretations of what a saw log ought to be. But the key to quality scaling is not being too hard on the mill, the logger, or the trucker. Trying to be right in the middle of what's fair to make a good deal.
Fantastic, informative video. Great job delivering the how’s and why’s of log scaling. I’m amazed at how much your knowledge of wood/lumber has increased over time. Keep up the good vids.
You're very good at this, Emerald. The shake on the "not a lady" log appears to be about 4.5 inches, and that would reduce the yield by about 20 board feet. You did this by eye.
I'm learning how to talk like a logger from a nice young lady ! Funny , but I did actually did learn a lot and i'm going to buy a logging tape and scribner scale. Thanks
It is a challenge to scale logs correctly. In SW ARKANSAS we use Doyle scale. So many people don't understand the concept. Keep educating your viewers.
Nobody would sell you their logs if the scaling wasn't honest. Em as a honest a scalier as you can find and a good reputation goes a long way in the logging business.
Is that a load your dad cut, or do you have other suppliers? Also, if it’s from an outside source, do they do there own estimate of board feet? Seems there is some subjectivenes to your estimate. So if the outside source has their own estimate how to you come together? If your dad cuts it, is your estimate how you pay the land owner?
The young lady seems competent and honest.
Yeah she isn't infected like the rest of the world
Exceptionally competent.
The 180 quote totally caught me off guard . That's funny 😂 . You don't get much more transparent than scaling logs on video. Very hard working honest people ! Great video .
"Disappointment Log" new term to show-off my growing Lumber Capital lingo, thanks
Emerald, you are educating us to the point where we can talk logging, at least a little. Thank you. Great videos Em and Jade!
sure bud
Not only work ethic but also integrity with honesty in logging numbers. Boss man and family deserve way more credit than many others doing the same business

This lady is very knowledgeable. Very informative. I am a weekend woodworker and i really like this channel. Keep up the good work.
The Bosses must really be proud and appreciate what you two have learned and taken on.
I am very proud…Boss Man.

Yup,spoken like a proud Dad...Great kids( all)!!

love this channel more and more

Great video Girls,
Keep up the great work
Best wishes from England 🏴
Very good demonstration of the crucial phase of planning & assesing your likely yield.
Very informative. You are doing a great job of teaching what is required to run a lumber yard. I have great respect for you and your family for what you all do.

Holy Moley! This video is over 12 minutes long. That's a marathon for you all. Thanks as always for the interesting content. Best wishes from Ohio!
I recently order t shirts and a coffee mug can't wait to get them

Wow Emerald those logs are very organized
We need more young folks like these.
Great job, Em!
So knowledgeable, impressive! Greetings from Germany👍
Emerald you family is lucky to have someone dedicated like you!!!
I have cut many trees and of wood processsing but this is a whole knowledge I never knew about! Awesome.
That is the most education I have received from a Woman in such a short time! Very well done, young Lady. Thank you Emerald.
No hyperbole here, that actually is the Best Log Scaling Video on UA-cam! There is also a 'old school' element that is much appreciated, using a Scribner and pen and paper, something about that just seems right when working with wood.
So much to know but well understood when you take the time to go over it all Emerald... Well done! You are teaching so many for the good of learning!

Wow! I never had any idea logs were scaled like that. Pretty cool !
It’s great to see all the knowledge and experience you have at such a young age. Your a pro. Love the camera work too. Keep up the good work ladies.
Wow, Emerald. That really was interesting. I always wondered how you guys determined board footage in defective logs. Thanks to you and Jade.
welcome back to another video on Lumber Capital Log Yard
Great video as always to both of you, an excellent explanation of how you cost your logs.🌻😎🌻
You are a good teacher, your use of terms and language is very consistent, and this logger talk is like a different technical language, and you have to learn it and teach it properly to function in this industry, good show.

Emerald and Jade are so Professional...👍
These videos are pleasure to watch...

Is Jade on the roof ? Another excellent educational video ,well done ladies.
Maybe little Coffein overdose (😁) but its absolutely great how much you can talk about your daily theme /business/work 👍👍
That was most astoundingly the most interesting video (and they were all very interesting) on your channel thus far! Maybe because it dealt with a topic I was utterly unaware of in the first place... but anyway, great video!!
Brilliant, wholesome channel a breath of fresh air keep it up ladies💥🥴❤️
Thanks for that lesson. You have a lot of knowledge to go along with your honesty and integrity.
As an aside, I notice you are right handed. A while back you were nursing the right hand and did many tasks left handed. You did them well. Some people would be lost in that situation.
Very informative and precise. Your dad taught you well and I am sure that he is really proud of you and Jade.
I can do so many interesting things now that I have seen the best log scaling vid on the net
Please note buyers or sawmill owners doesn't usually scale there own logs.They are scaled by bureau scalers so there no conflict between sawmill and landowners.Logs are almost always laid out on skids when scaling.
Nice shirt! I live near there. I've used both the Doyle and Scribner. Great explanation
Excellent job, I hate shake in hemlock, but it is what it is.
Mad props to the parents n this family, grandpa to, all the kids seem like hard working kids even the lil guy was cutting wood, if the rest of America was like this we would b n alot better shape, old school family values, thats how all of us were raised , I'm n my 40s now but most the newer generation lost something, a hard days work makes that evening rip or cold beer so much better, KEEP IT UP!!!!
Impressive amount of knowledge and understanding of the bussiness. When dad semi retires I think the bussiness will be in good hands
Great video, nice load of hemlock, rather small stack of slabs. We need to get you a same sized pile of white oak logs. Thank you for bringing us along.
Nice job, very informative
Good video. You know what your talking about.

Another great video thanks everyone ❤️
Thank You ....Good Video...!!!
Shake, Rattle and that's the way to Roll Emerald. Very good video Em and Jade!
Mike Bill Haley and the Comets thank you. They did "Rock Around the Clock" and "Shake,Rattle and Roll" on their album in the mid-50's.
Great information. It will come in handy when buying a log for my home sawmill. Thanks.
Good work and looking lovely
Always great info 👍
enjoy your show where there are strong woman that know how to work need more woman like you take care
Great information great video thanks
Excellent video today dudes. Beware of shake, bows, and other misc wood stuff. Love your content!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
a lot of wood looks beautiful all..none of them looks like a hole very satisying for the customer 👍
Very informative, educational and entertaining. I’ve learned a lot in a short time watching your videos
It is a challenge to scale logs correctly. In SW ARKANSAS we use Doyle scale. So many people don't understand the concept. Keep educating your viewers.
agreed, super interesting. well done
I learn a lot from her.
Em and Jade living in North Idaho I see a lot of logging,thanks for the education
Great video, Emerald. Extremely informative.
I've come across the tape with hook end before but not the scale rod thinggy.
That was fun because I learned so much. Thanks!
Very Cool!
Very nicely done. 👍
Thank you for sharing.
That was very interesting. Thanks for taking time to educate us.
Nobody would sell you their logs if the scaling wasn't honest. Em as a honest a scalier as you can find and a good reputation goes a long way in the logging business.
Thank you for the informative video, your experience as a sawyer helps us understand your calculations.
Very interesting and educational. Thanks!
the reduction for shake seems somewhat subjective compared to the standardized value from the Scribner stick
Thanks for today's log lesson. I was paying attention but, I hope there is not a pop quiz tomorrow.!
“Scalers a crank, deaf and dumb, got bad eyesight and an oversized thumb”
For fun I like to turn a lathe. Make bed posts and chair spindles.
Em, when you say "YARD" it sound a little like you have a New Jersey accent even though you live in Pa. 😁
LOOOVE this video!
Such a cutie, such a sweetheart, wise for her age
Keep working. Good luck! 👍
Great info.....
Great info.
Angel take care of yourself good luck to you
Is that a load your dad cut, or do you have other suppliers? Also, if it’s from an outside source, do they do there own estimate of board feet? Seems there is some subjectivenes to your estimate.
