    Alan, on the west coast of
    British Columbia. I milled lots
    while building houses here.
    I retired now, but seriously
    enjoy memory lane with your
    wonderful videos !! I missed
    them when the fires caused
    such upset last year ..
    Stay safe , 👍👍

    Those douglas fir logs certainly tested the limits of your LT35. With today's lumber prices, if you have access to quality softwood trees it certainly pays to mill your own lumber.

  • @marketinggenius4438
    @marketinggenius4438 3 роки тому +3

    Awesome video, loved the editing/style. On a job like that do you charge extra if metal is found and ruins your blade or do you automatically factor that in the cost before hand? Either way probably something that needs to be thought about and communicated prior to starting.

    Nicely done! That was way more lumber than I was expecting. That larger piece of metal probably ruined the blade, but personally I don't mind the look after it hits a nail. We have a barn with marks/lines throughout the lumber like that. Adds character.

    • @NorthwestSawyer
      @NorthwestSawyer  3 роки тому +1

      The first nail I hit just added some character. That piece of steel cable destroyed the blade and stalled the saw. It made quite a racket.

  • @TheUserid82
    @TheUserid82 3 роки тому +1

    Running into metal is the reason it can be worth it to buy a set of bimetal blades for the saw for those times you do hit metal it can be worth it to swap out to the better blades. One of the guys that mills large yard trees talked about how much better they deal with metal a year or so back

    • @NorthwestSawyer
      @NorthwestSawyer  3 роки тому

      I ran BiMetal blades when I was sawing reclaimed beams that I knew had staples in them. They definitely can handle some steel but they’re nearly double the cost. I prefer to let the client know ahead of time about the charges for blades damaged by metal.

    Great content. Did you take your 4044 with you or were the John Deeres the clients? Anyway does the 4044 do everything you need it to? I am looking closely into an LT35 for slabbing and maybe some dimensional lumber for clients. Just wish I lived in your neck of the woods where timber is so plentiful.

    • @NorthwestSawyer

    I'm no sawyer, it seem to me that running the saw head down the track above the log to check the side clearance before making the first cut would eliminate that kind of carnage. You could also pull a string line to check the side clearance before making the first cut.

    • @NorthwestSawyer

      I never charge by the board foot for on-site jobs because there’s too many things that can slow you down. For instance, I needed my tractor on the project because the logs had to be moved to the mill. I estimated how long I thought it would take to do the job and how many blades I’d use. I charge per blade for metal and
