- Cutting Stickers at the Sawmill // Do Small Logs Make Good Stickers?
How do you cut stickers? I have been picking up lots of little logs lately and realized that cutting stickers is a great way to make use of otherwise useless logs. Short 45 inch pine logs of 10 or so inched in diameter can make about 30 decent stickers. I call that a good time! Tell me what think in the comments below.
Some upcoming projects:
- Pole barn
- Porch Rebuild
- Timber framing
- Shed
- Shelving
- and many more woodwork related projects. Maybe even some DIY stuff if you are interested. I never get bored, but I sure get tired.

We do videos at least once per week about all things wood related. Sawmill with our Woodland Mills HM130 Sawmill. Splitting and stacking firewood. Woodworking projects in our workshop, and much more. - Навчання та стиль
Absolutely the right thing to do!
20 minutes to get $20 worth of material. That sounds like buck a minute which is $60/hr. That's a good wage. Worth it for sure.
I will certainly take it! Thanks for watching.
Dang it , that mill was kicking butt. Awesome.
Thanks Jose. It was a fun one.
Pretty satisfying video to watch.
Great idea
Nicely done
Yes sir, I agree, I will need stickers, I have more time than 20 dollar bills, So I can see myself making my own. Great job on this video my friend.Thanks for sharing and keep up the fun videos.

I have a new method for making stickers. I will do a video on this as well. Thanks!
Nice work. There is just something about doing it yourself, and saving money is a plus. 👍👍👍👍
I totally agree. Just hard to justify buying wood now, lol
i bought a 22" Woodlands and milling norcal black walnut. yummmy. I'm new at this and need stickers. So a digger pine is being cut up
Walnut does not disappoint 😁. Woodland Mills is a great mill. Happy Milling!
Mike, that looks like time well spent!
Thanks Aaron. I hope some day I have enough stickers so I don't need to mill any more, lol
I can’t wait to get my mill and start processing trees!!! Great video brother!!😁🌲
Thanks Jimi! Im loving it!
makes sense bud, won't run out of stickers for a while
your videos are awesome 😃
Awesome milling video thank you for sharing friend.
Thanks! Great to see you on the live stream today!
Certainly worth it Dillon, Have a great day..
Thanks Cynthia. Hope you have a great night.
Love the process nice work 👍
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Mike I like the 4' Idea learned something new today
Awesome! I love how easy it is to load them. Don't have many of those left, but hopefully won't need to.many more stickers now that the kiln is just about done.
Great idea,
Thanks! Small logs are so easy to get and great for stickers. I love the idea of saving the good big logs for lumber. Thanks for watching James!
Hey my brother awesome job much love Family later :)
Oh my I had no idea what you meant when you said you were going to make stickers out of the log. I know them as sticks silly me lol. They're going to be great for those jibe when you need them and you were able to make them yourself. Great job on making something and saving yourself money! It's an ingenious idea! Hope y'all have a good day!
Thanks Alice! Great to see you. Hope you are well.
Awesome video Brother !!!
Thanks man! Much appreciated my friend!
Sweet vid
Thanks James!
Nice video, Great use of the small logs. Also at 10:32 those cuttoffs will make great paint stirrers.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. I may have to contact some local hardware stores and sell them, lol.

If you can make a few bucks go for it
Yes a penny saved is a penny earned
It sure is. No waste will help resources go a long way.
How about a video on water drip rate for beginners? If in a hurry and the rain is coming, I'd mill the 1" boards and resaw them on the table saw inside when it's raining. I think I'll do the 4ft log idea on some of the junk logs I have.
If you watch the close up's when Mike is cutting you will see he runs a fairly steady trickle. I know of another chap (Cecil) who uses nothing to cool his blade. It is set as you are cutting, you watch and listen you will learn this one on your own. Species of wood, time of year fresh or aged, even whether or not there is bark even has a bearing as to when and how much water you need. There is no blanket formula to be taught. Some use concoctions of water and windshield washer antifreeze, soap, you name it has been tried to varying degrees of success.

Really great job on the video, Mike! Your mill is quite a bit more machine than my HM 126 was. And one more thing. Did you just get monetized?
Thanks man! It was fun editing with the different camera angles and leaving the video in real-time.
I did just get monetized. They emailed me a couple of hours ago. Looks like they are getting caught up on the reviews.
it came out very nice. The focus points were really cool too. I missed the live show yesterday. I didn’t get home from work until 9:30 your time. 😬
I am trying some new things with the live videos. I may do another tomorrow at some ,point and another on Saturday afternoon. Playing around with the times to see what works best. I think I may just do random off the cuff live videos once per week since with three kids and my job it can all be unpredictable. Looks like that John Deere is treating you well!
I’ll try to tune in. The three hour time difference can make it tough. I’m liking the new tractor. I had some skidding tongs come today. I can’t wait to try them out.
Seems worth it to me. If for no other reason than not having to cut your bigger stuff down.
Exactly. When you have limited logs I feel it's best to make use of what you have. Thank you for watching.
Speaking of, short logs and stickers, When you get time, can you tell me how far apart the bed rails are on the lt 15 wide, I am curious, what the shortest log you could mill would be with out using a tool like your buddy made you to hold the trunks you are making cookies from. Thank you sir. I hope yall have some sunshine and you are able to get outside, it is warming up here, and I am ready for the winter 2021 blizzard to be behind us.
Thanks
Dale
I believe the two closest are 2 ft apart, but the big issue with small logs on The LT15 Wide is the backstop and clamps. This new jig certainly takes care of that issue.
I think you've got ur self in a sticky situation dang ur hair grew fast
Funny. My hair usually falls out fast. Must be all the sun making it grow so good, lol
What I also do is take a skinnier cut on each side and sacrifice the first outside inch of the log which usually doesn't have much usable lumber. I then stack and cut that up for stickers and the non square material I let my kids make kindling bundles out of it to sell.
They sell the small bundles for 5 bucks and they do quite well.
Thanks! That's a great idea!
WhatWood do you like to use for stickers ? If it's green, how long do you let them dry out before you use them for stickering lumber ? I just assembled my HM 130.
If I don't have any stickers, I'll use them green. I never had any issues with using green stickers. I prefer using pine because it's very stable. If I don't have pine I would use Fir, Cedar, Spruce, Hemlock or other deciduous wood since they less likely bow, twist, etc.
Great, thank you
looks like 1" by 1" is that a necesity for drying or just what you decided to do?
Its good to have at least 3/4" for air space to dry, but I went with 1x1 for a little more air flow and stability of the lumber stack. Also, the extra 1/4" x 1/4" give the sticker a bit more strength so it doesnt break as easily. I like square stickers to make it easier to use. Some people will do something like 3/4" x 1", but you have to make sure you have them all in the same orientation or the pile will be uneven. I chose 1x1 for a good balance of simple, strong, and stable. Just my preference. Thanks for your question and for watching. Feel free to comment if you have any more questions.
Good use of materials. Are the Onnella's still running a saw mill there?
Not sure. Never met them. Where are they from?
Osker was the first, Robert his son I believe is gone now. Roberts son took over the business some time ago. He owns most of the land the windmills are on. I believe I heard that he had a building supply opperation near you. As an aside my cousin is living in an off grid cabin near you. He is Boss of the Swamp on you tube. Ha might be interested in some of your product as he has several projects in mind.
Thats great! I subscribe to Boss! I love his videos. The closest building supply we have is Lumber Barn. I have never met the owners of that though. I would love to meet Boss some time. Seems like a great guy!
I have a couple questions. 1. Once you cut one small log into planks and remove the planks, could you then cut another log into planks, then restack both sets of planks to a double stack width for the final cuts, and would that be of benefit, or be less stable to process. 2. Do you dry your stickers, and if so, how do you stack them during the drying process? I am buying a sawmill in the next few months, and am just now getting into all of these how to videos so I can avoid a bunch of mistakes. Although, I am sure I will make plenty of my own new mistakes lol.
i never dry my stickers. i have never had any issues doing that. i now use straps and strap all of my wood after its cut. you can definitely stack multiple logs together after milling them

@@practicallyIndependent If you even notice sticker stain in more humid weather, that can be reduced by drying your stickers before you use them.
I'll stack a 4'x4' pile with air between each sticker & then oppose next stack above, etc.. until pile is 4x4x4.. Thankless job, but gotta be done..
That wood looks green, can you use green wood for stickering?
I do all of the time. Works fine. Some people get picky about it, but I have never had any issues and been doing it this way for a few years. Most of the stickers I have are dry at this point, but occasionally I still have to cut some and I still use them green. Some people worry about staining on the wood, but it will eventually be planed down and sanded, so the stains don't really matter on rough cut wood as far as I'm concerned
@@practicallyIndependent nice. Thanks!
to much mill for the BOY
Seems like a no brainer to me, just your time milling so you spend a hour and make a couple hundred stickers for free. I don’t own a mill though so this is just a layman’s theory. Take care my friend
👍😁
