I have been waiting for this video ever since you got the saw mill.... It did not disappoint.
Wow, what an awesome update. I was just sort of taking it all in when you were showing the drone footage. You guys really need to take a moment and pat yourselves on the back. Just wow! look at all you've done!
From the gravel on the road,
to your power system,
to your water system,
shed,
mill,
septic,
log arch,
beautiful family.
There is the American dream, and then there is the American dream plus a load of lumber! 🤣 Way to go guys!
Jacob you are a milling maniac ! That's a lot of wood from those trees.
Natalie you always do a great job with the filming and editing.
It's a joy watching your family.
What a beautiful cat!
Good morning you guys hope you guys are having a great morning or afternoon I like what you guys are doing any got some big loves they're one step at a time to speak her from that nobody gets hurt and God bless you guys❤
The finished ramp to the shed is beautiful!!
It is amazing to watch that sawmill cut those big logs. That wood is going to look great on the shed!!
This was a very fun video to watch. The blade cut through the logs like butter. I am impressed with the amount of lumber that was produced. This is a great adventure. In school on Monday, "So Ethan, what did you do this weekend"????? No other kids can make such a report !!!!
WOW! That is a lot of lumber. Well done. Thanks for sharing
LOL Dad jokes. Chainsaw or not; Natalie is superwoman 💪. Love how you are always teaching your kids and involving them in everything. They will all be master builders by 18.Can't wait to see the siding on the shed. Blessings to your family.🥰
What a nice way to save money. Your investment in the mill will pay off quickly compared to having to get store bought lumber. Enjoy watching yall.
Great stuff. Love the mill saw and Ethan. What a great saw to create lots of different sizes. Great commentary at the end. Can't wait for more.... thanks for sharing
10 000 subscribers! Great job friends! This mill is doing awesome. Have you thought in selling some wood for epoxy tables? Have a great week! 🐇
Maybe some day. Thanks 😁
Enjoyed watching the first cut. You should start selling the wood when you have enough.
I love woods. I make my cabinets long time ago (1990).
Congrats on 10k subscribers! Please keep the great content coming:)
That mill is freaking awesome! So cool! And congratulations on getting 10K subscribers! I knew you’d get there!
Jacob, Natalie , you have made incredible progress since I first started watching regards again from Calgary Canada.
I'll tell you what you can do to make it easier to pull that thing through the log that's all milk, what you do is you find your piece of cable long enough to go from one end up the bottom and up to the top, get your pulley at the bottom that you can put. The bullion of the mill part of the sawmill and then put you a boat crank up on the side of the sawmill and then as you crank it, it will pull the sawmill to the other end. And cut the Log.
Morning that family kids love.out.side.u guys great.job cook.out side.eat.great.livivg.
The traveled pathways through those beautifull trees and around the property is so awesome.looks clean and nice,best I have seen so far.great job..
10K subscribers! Yahoo. I told Tiny Shiny Home to watch your videos if they want an idea what it’s like to dig a difficult ditch!
I don't miss ANY of your videos. All that sawdust can be used to enrich & stabilize the soil around your property, if you didn't already know, and the cutoff bark will burn quite nicely in the fireplace this coming winter. And Natalie? Chainsaws are powerful, dangerous tools, so you are absolutely correct to be afraid of them.
I watch a lot of channels like this ..from the outback of Western Australia…and I love your channel by the way ….just want to say theirs something real satisfying watching a log get cut down into usable timber …well done and good job by Ethan 👍
this is AWESOME stuff. Really, really COOL guys. Great investments
You are very blessed with Family, A Wife that sees your vision, Property that allows your vision and Equipment to make it all happen. Great work and attention to detail my Man. Great job putting the videos together Mrs Boulder.
Get a hold of Woodland mills and ask for the track extension , You can always add on for longer log for your mill .. save the center pit of your logs cut into a 6”x 6“ post to build a shelter over your mill ..
Already have one track extension, but I think we'll get another one when we do the house. Thanks.
That saw mill is amazing! Always Love watching you guy's!
One thing I wanted to mention is yes the actual thickness of a one inch board at the lumber yard sales is is 3/4 inch, but that is after planed and not before that in a rough stage.
Cut a groove in the bottom of the flashing so the water doesn't run back. I was told you are supposed to cut the top off one of your metal stays the first time (Red Tool House) but you got away with it. Save the bark for mud holes on the track.
You are already looking like a pro on the saw mill. Excellent video and very enjoyable. Be safe and be careful my friends.
Another great video. Thanks!
I like the idea of making your drip edge from 4x4s, but I am pretty sure there should be a PVC drip edge available. Another option could be to cut open some cheap PVC pipe and with a torch or heat gun heat it until it becomes malleable. That way you could custom form it around the rock. A little spray paint and you even have your desired color..
However you are going to do it, I look forward to seeing you solve and improvise a solution that is right for you.
The rocks walk looks absolutely beautiful
We found out after breaking a log roller, use breaking bars they give you both stability but also more leverage when placing chains around the logs. Also loved the arch idea as I didn't know that you were related to my boss your brother.
I can feel your excitement! Finally sawing your own lumber that you cut and hauled.. I agree your previous video of camping and “ lumber jacking” was fabulous.. one of your best ones yet
Can't wait to see the shed finished. You might want to look into a debarking tool eather a manual one or one that you can put on you sawmill
I've been watching from dqy one and I'm thoroughly enjoying it and envious at the same time . Keep going & good luck .
So look forward to Sunday evenings to watch the next instalment of your build, can’t wait for the house build. Keep up good work.👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
Thanks so much! We're excited too! 😊
hello with my watching
I’ve done the same thing as a carpenter, it fits the rock nicely as well, when you get the siding on top it will look 👀 amazing, Your friend from Alaska, think of the money the mill will save you!!
So amazing!! You are reaching that great state of self reliance. Is there also a big garden and greenhouse down the road? And a nice big workshop? And a barn for animals? The possibilities are endless!! 😄!!
The stone work is gorgeous!! Well done!!
Take care guys!! 🥰🌿♥️
We've got some dreams, and you named a few of them. Thanks 🙂
The camp video was awesome and so was this one. if you need an idea for rest of that wood, how about extend the shed roof over the tank or cut some slat to wrap around the tank to make it look like a barrel. your idea on the siding sounds great and I can't wait to see it, the 4x4 for trim on the top of the rocks is brilliant, can't wait to see that too.
Love the idea of wrapping the tank. Thanks 🙂
I’m so excited for you guys. I’m also very excited to see every video and see the progress you will make. I think it’s absolutely wonderful.
The 4X4 that sits on the stone, are you going to cut a lip the thickness of the siding, then cut a slop from the lip so water will run off. Much like a drip cap over windows and doors just larger. Also a groove under the 4X4 so water can't run back under the 4X4 still like a large drip cap.
The ramp stone is beautiful, you couldn't have done a better job, the live edge siding is going to look awesome also
Yup. You got it. Thanks 🙂
This is just amazing! You are amazing!!!
Thank you 😁
Great work.
Them 4x4s are $55 each-treated, at lowes, you doing it yourself is going to safe thousands at the end.
Safe milling
Hi from the UK again. Another brilliant video to follow on from the wood harvesting video. You had me worried when I saw you laying all that beautiful cut lumber on top of itself - I was shouting at the video, "stickers, you need stickers" to separate the planks and let them air dry properly. I needn't have worried, you my friend know what you are doing 👍😁
The milling machine is awesome. It just seems to cut through those logs like a knife through butter. Looking forward to your house build.❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Love it love it!
That was so fun to watch! Incredible the amount of wood from 2 1/2 logs. It really is beautiful. Your stone ramp completed look really nice
Banyak banget kayu nya, di tambah mesin yang komplit
So excited to see this video! Fantastic job guys!
You may want to look into a tool called a bark spud TSC has them and thet work quite well
I bet you enjoy doing the lumber part of living off grid over digging those rocky leash fields, and so do I ,keep on chugging😂
You need a Bark spud for removing bark from your logs. They are made out of 1"x2" steel tubing 3.5 - 4 ft long. To get an idea of what to look for you can go to a tire shop that sells semi Freight truck tires. They call them a tire mounting Bar. They have a curved 7" x 2" x3/8" thick metal welded to one end , this is the part that shaves the bark off your logs. you have to put an edge on it w/your metal grinder. You can save a nickle if you purchase one of these tools at a second hand store. I really like my bark spud. You make a good video, best wishes on your Homestead.
Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
Thank you very much for sharing your life experience.... my favorite channel... sweet family.... as a suggestions.... better than using the 4x4 for the stone wall cap ( Wich I think will be wasting the wood ) , you can use the the first 1x? cuts With natural sides as a cap, I think it will match the natural siding stone .... Also I think the front of the shop need a canopy so you can do your projects when it rain and you can use the 4x 4s as a canopy posts .... wishing you a wonderful day .
giant 1/4 round 👍
Good job looks awesome
Thank you Sir. 😁
Looks like a lot of fun and a lot of work but to be able to go out and get your own locks and then saw them up. How cool is that? We love you guys.
Brilliant 🖖😎
Wow! So enjoyable to watch you reap the harvest! At this rate, you may have siding left for the house too. Hopefully that resource of wood will be available to you again. Way to go.
Build your own home with mill your own wood , that’s awesome, later on after you finished build your house , you could teach the kids build their own bedroom furniture, I could tell you teaching your kids with a lot respect and moral , working hard and involved with family work , that’s a great way to do it,
when they’re growing up , they’ll more appreciate what you have tough them , you save a bun of money and there is a path to success ❤❤❤
Great video wish i had smellavision as love the smell of cut wood.great job
It does smell great! 😁
Awesome!!! So happy for you guys!!! Can’t wait to see it on the shed!!! 🤩
Oh! Don’t feel bad Emily…I had a similar experience with trying to start our generator during a recent power outage while hubby was at work…I do not have “man muscles”! Lol…
Ohmygosh!! I’m sorry, who’s Emily?? I meant, Natalie! LOL…UGH 😳
🤣 Thought I was reading a different conversation for a second. Thanks 😁
walnuts and wineberries this fellow UA-camr has a easy way to setup your saw to cut what you want. He will guide you through it.[
This siding is going to look beyond awesome
I love living vicariously through you guys every Sunday. The mill looks like so much fun! Why doesn't the blade bind though with all that weight on top of it?
It's got the power to keep going. Thanks. 🙂
First 10 K are made. congrats 👍
Thank you! 😁
The sawmill was a great addition to your homestead. Have you thought about putting trail cameras near your entrance road?
Trail cameras will be something we do. There's a lot of wildlife that passes through as we can see from all the tracks. Thanks 🙂
I was also thinking of unwanted visitors. @@aboulderlifeoffgrid
Enjoying the videos. Totally agree with you regarding replacing the sill section around the stone work with timber. If it were me, I’d put a 15deg cant to the top for water run off. Also I’d router a 10mm deep groove in the underside to act as a drip. I’d set this drip about 10mm back from the front edge too.
Will you be burning them or using some sort chemical treatment for rain & bug protection?
Great to see you teaching your boy how to use the mill.
Yes, we will use a sealer for the wood. Thanks for the tip on the drip edge. 🙂
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid you’re welcome. I’ve sent you an email.
👍👍👍
❤😊❤😊❤😊
This is just a question for you regarding the length of cut Should the black metal that carries the mill not both have the long section facing the inside of the mill This would solve your length of cut but what I could make out Right now they are both facing one direction in this video All the best from Allenford, Ontario, Canada Have a great day
I'm not sure. We assembled it just the way the manual says, which was pretty easy to understand and follow. Thanks. 🙂
Hey, other viewers out there recommend these videos to your friends like on Facebook and other places help them grow their channel dumb old country boy here just saying.
Curious how much the logging permit was and how much you’re able to pull out of the forest? Amazing work you guys!
It's $20 and if it's on the ground we can take it. Can't take anything live and standing. That's good for 10 cords. Thanks 🙂
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid that’s amazing! Love seeing what you guys are doing. My husband and I just bought ourselves some property and are looking forward to doing all of this in a few years.
good video
wondering...how many saw blades required to saw those 2 or 3 logs? $25 for new blades?
I put a second blade in towards the end of the third log. I'll sharpen them a few times to get the full life out of the blades. Thanks
Will you cover it up so it won’t get wet
The sawmill has a cover but not the wood. Hardly got any rain, and the wood is not staying there long. Thanks. 🙂
I have the exact mill and was wondering if you have a side to side movement when milling? Kinda of like an oscillating affect
Not that I've noticed.
Ethan is so cute.. I hope hes not a lefty?
😆 He is!
so, is house going to be timber-frame?
Just stick frame. Thanks.
Some of your logs are not able to be cut, their too big
Not sure what you mean. We cut the biggest one we had near the end of the video.
That's not good wood.. it's notty.
You guys are at it again working hard.😊😍🥰🤩🫠🙃🙂😉💞💯💯💯💯👍
