Not much waste/campfire wood from those two! Good milling job. And all shines appeared to make it thru the day unscathed. Thanks for sharing and I'll be waiting for the next.
Thank you Barry. It's always a good day when everyone goes home uninjured. The customer isnt happy when they see a pile of scrap from their logs. Best to keep the waste to a minimum. Next up is Black Walnut. Same customer, different location.
Hello Karen, and welcome to the mill. The customer was thrilled with the lumber. Thats always a good thing. LOL These 2 guys really knock it out. Saved a lot of work for sure.
I really enjoy watching you run your saw mill. I have an Amish gentleman who has a mill that cuts rough cut lumber. He's very responsible and I'm going to go there to get lumber for my workshop. It's just amazing to see you cut high quality lumber. Be safe.
Very nice to have a great neighbor beautiful wood and Deb is the boss. Take care of your leg my friend y’all take care god bless from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦞🦞🐊🐊CAJUN 🐊🐊🦞🦞🇺🇸🇺🇸
I notice that with every start of the blade, you have a "chirp". I used to do that too. Then i figured out that to get those two big wheels and the blade into motion requires a lot of torque. Jerking the starting handle down puts all this force at one time on the wheels and belts. So I started just pulling slightly on the starting handle to get the momentum of the wheels turning, then pulling the handle all the way down eliminates the "chirp" and causes less stress on the belts. Just a half second delay, eliminated the "chirp." With a little practice, you won't notice any slow-down of your cutting, and the "chirp" is gone.
Hello Ralph, and thank you for your input. I used to engage the blade slowly like you mentioned. Although my belt didn't stretch, it cause the belt to glaze, causing it to slip. No matter how I would adjust it, it would then slip, causing the blade to slow in the cut, in turn, causing it to dive. It made for a lot of wavey boards. I talked with Marty Parsons at PA Wood Mizer, while at a mill owners seminar. He agreed, and practices the style of blade engagement that we use. We have just over 900 hours on the mill, and just put our second belt on. So far, it's working for us. Maybe it's the belt quality or something. The larger mills have an electric clutch that engages the belt in the same manner. It locks up, and has a little chirp to it. 2 schools of thought I guess. As long as everyone is making good lumber. :)
That is great news Bill. You are going to really enjoy the LT35HD. I hope our videos helped. If you ever have any questions, or issues, let me know. I'd be glad to help out.
That spruce stump is full of torsion, between that and the obvious decay that contributed to its failure. I’d hardly think the lumber would be worth the work. Also, spruce has a way of making everything sticky and gross lol. I’m no milling expert, but I work in trees for a living as a arborist
Thank you for your input about the spruce. We actually ended up milling that log. It was still very solid and milled up great. Check out our video named Black Walnut Beauty. We show the lumber from that log. The client has used it successfully in many projects. Believe me, I hate spruce. The k ots are as dense as aluminum, and cause issues with the blades. Not to mention the sap pockets. I was surprised that this log didn't offer much of those issues.
Just a little helping hand they make power pack that can prevent camera dying it charges like a phone and when you get low plug it in and ten mote hrs of battery just trying to help out cuz your videos are awesome
I wish I could. The software i had at the time it gone. It crashed, and stopped working. The new software doesn't work on this older version, so i cant edit it. Thank you for letting me k ow. I'll continue to try. I may find a way to fix it yet.
That's exactly what I was telling her through the 2 way headsets. She is so used to working, it's hard for her to just watch. She hates just standing and watching.
@@IronOakSawmill Workers tend to work because it's just who they are. Watchers like to stand around because-----well. Hmmm. Anyway, you and your wife are both workers. You both deserve respect.
We are in southeastern PA. Even if you aren't close to us, I'm sure there is a mill close to you. Wood Mizer has a "Find a local Sawyer" network. Some are willing to let you assist with the days work. It's worth a look. Also, lots of sawmill groups on Facebook.

Having watched several of your videos I really like your family work ethic. You my friend exemplify American Spirit.
Thank you Earl. Family is my number one priority. I'm glad we are able to share it with others.
Thank you for stopping in.
Beautiful stacks of wood. It helps having more assistance.

Thank you Joel. I'm glad you have a good source for you lumber. Quality is rare it seems these days. Some still offer it.
Thank you for stopping by.

Good neighbors are the best. Good to know you can count on them.
The leg is feeling better. Hope to be 100% soon.
Take care my friend.

Ha man I finally got my mill ordered just like yours thanks for all your videos

Beautiful lumber Chuck! You guys did a great job!
Thank you very much. We aim for the best quality.
Great job alot of very nice boards !!
Thank you Bryan :)
Deb saved the blade on that one for sure. Great job!
Thank you. She sure did. She's my extra set of eyes on the mill.
Nice wood, job well done. Deb's the best!
Thank you very much, and I will pass that on to Deb. She is awesome.

Wow, that’s surprising. Pretty cool that it worked out. I’ll check out the video. Happy New Years
Very nice, great job!
Thank you James, and thank you for checking in.
Looks like the young man was enjoying the javelin throwing 👍
He was. What we really needed that day was a cool breeze. Cant see it in the video, but that was one, hot, humid day.
Just a little helping hand they make power pack that can prevent camera dying it charges like a phone and when you get low plug it in and ten mote hrs of battery just trying to help out cuz your videos are awesome
I'll have to invest in one soon. We are shopping for a new camera. Hope the batteries last longer.
Job well done.
Thank you Larry. It was a bit of work, but we managed to get it done.
Deb sure saved you a blade, that was well worth taking her out to dinner that night🏆
She sure did. She is my extra set of eyes while on the mill. I depend on her for sure.
Thank you for checking us out.
Please slow down the introduction.... Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them!
I wish I could. The software i had at the time it gone. It crashed, and stopped working. The new software doesn't work on this older version, so i cant edit it.

Amo vocês.
Também te amo
@@IronOakSawmill .aprendo muito com vocês
Kinda surprised that there is no interface to prevent the almost-oopsie at 44:00
Just more electronics that can fail, and shut you down, so we created a human interface. Much more reliable.
Deb Roger's
Thank you all for watching the video. It's always a pleasure!
No matching hair tie this time? ;-P
@@NorthwestSawyer I'll be sure to have one in next time. Lol
I can’t get over how strong the Hydraulics are on the LT 35
The arms will lift 4600 lbs, and the turner and clamp will handle it. Its work for them, but they get it done.
Just watching the red oak video. I'm curious...what is the weight limit on the hydraulic system?🤔
The max log weight is listed at 4400 lbs. I assume this is the capacity of the loading arms.
Deb should let the guys do the work and she supervise.

@@m8s4lif thank you very much. We've always believed in doing things ourselves. It brings a great deal of satisfaction.
Ever notice Deb putting her hands on her hips...is she having back discomfort...wouldnt be bad if she wore a removable lumbar support.
No back problems. Thats just the way she stands.
Where are you located at, i'd like to come spend a couple days working on a saw mill like this one Looks like a job in itself.

How much is this machine?
It all depends on the options you chose. You can check this website, and price the machine you want.

Was this across from the Pottstown airport?
Yes it was.
Those cuss-ed ants!!
They are a pain, thats for sure. We try to spray them when we can, to keep them from eating any more of the wood.

If i remember my machine specs correctly, I believe it's 4400 lbs.
