    Mill tips , first buy extra dogs ! Have a set for tall wood and set the other low so you don’t have to constantly change ! #2 a squirt of dish soap in a tank of water will work as lubricant fluid in the summer otherwise windshield washer fluid (-20) for fluid in the winter ! #3 make a pre staging deck to set multiple logs on with machinery and then hand roll them onto the leveled deck ! The less bouncing big logs on your cutting deck the more consistent your cuts will be ! Good luck…

    Matt...it's called 'spalting', it's the fungus beginning its initial work in the rotting process. Now that you'll be creating lots and lots of sawdust, and I'm fairly sure you've already thought of this, you can find unit to turn your sawdust into pellets for a pellet stove. If you haven't thought of it so far...invest in a metal detector before you ruin an expensive blade. You may want to consider some hearing muffs. Sorry for the thoughts from my cheap seat...another great video.

    Tip on work-tactics: Place the skidsteer so you can toss the waste products on the forks and the products against the workshop wall. This way, you'll facilitate work by making it easier to remove waste products, no need to place the actual products to a better drying place, and you also increase safety so you won't fall on the waste.
    I would also consider moving the engine control switch (ignition switch) to the operator's panel for safety and convenience.

    neat machine. We got bigger one at our sawmill. A lot more automated. Couple tips:
    The initial contact between blade and log needs to be as slow as possible. Once blade is in, you can go faster. It minimizes risk of snapping the blades and causing wavy cut.
    Run it with plenty of water/lubricant. Once you start noticing waves on cut logs then you gotta change the blade. We run ours about 90-120min each between switching.

  • @jefferyedwards5003
    @jefferyedwards5003 Рік тому +87

    From one Woodmizer owner to another, I can offer you a few suggestions.
    Firstly, try to have the ends of the logs on the bed rails (or a close as possible). Logs with more stress (i.e. poplar trees that may have grown on a slope) will bow downward when you take wood from the opposite side. This will cause for boards with unequal thickness throughout their length.
    Clamped properly and supported at the ends will prevent this unnecessary waste. Also, not taking a lot off of on side before turning to get an equal amount from the opposite side will also reduce bowing.
    This is mainly in softer woods, not so much in the oaks.
    Happy sawing!

    • @DallasD_
      @DallasD_ Рік тому +1

      Actually, you try to avoid a bow by secure clamping. You can do this by cutting the logs to (or near) the length of the cross bed rails. Rails are spaced approximately 4' apart. If you have a 14' log, try to positon where there is a 1' overhang on BOTH ends and not a 2' overhang on a SINGLE end

It gives your viewers who own sawmills a chance to give you tips if you run into trouble. They'll probably give the same level of satisfaction that all the power washing videos provide. And, you might inspire someone who's in a similar situation, who's not sure if it's feasible, to say I can do that, and get one of their own. For me, it reminds me of watching This Old House with my dad when I was a kid.

    I'm more into model railroading than sawmilling, but I can really relate to the excitement of unpacking and setting up a big new toy.
    You can use a soft household brush -- like the ones that come with dustpans -- to dust off the freshly-cut surface, then use the same brush to just smoosh on some clean water to really bring up whatever grain you have. Then you'll know what stain or varnish you need. If your slabs are stored properly that water will dry off in no time.
    And you are definitely going to need a sawdust-collecting system -- any old open-weave bag should work -- or your beautiful new dream shop will start getting sawdust tracked in and blown in before you know it. The collected dust can be dumnped or recycled or even composted.
    Great stuff.

    I don't know about the rest of the industry but in wood turning we call those black or grey lines in the wood "spalting" which is a fancy way of saying mildew, which is cuased by wood sitting for a long time in a damp climate. . I know you will get plenty of safety and operational tips from us and here is mine, from an experienced woodturner (I make round things on my lathe) wear some kind of dust mask, even if it just to use up those old covid masks when cutting wood. Those fine wood dust particles will get in your lungs and can eventually cause bad breathing problems. You can still enjoy the fragrance of the fresh cut timber, and I agree, it is great.
    P.S. Be sure ti keep a bottle of eye wash handy for those times a breeze comes along and blows that sawdust right in your eyes. I take many precautions for breathing and googles, face shield etc., and still occasionally get sawdust in my eyes and the eye wash is essential.

    Hey Matt, loved the video! Just a tip to help make sure your logs are nice and square, when you take your first slab off flip the log over so the flat side is sitting on the rails that way the top and bottom are square to each other, then when you go to cut the 3rd side of the log, take a framing square and set the long side down on the rail of the mill and slide the short side up to the already cut side,that way your log will be as close to square as you can get, it will save time trying to eyeball it and down the road when you go to make a finished product the board will already be square, hope this helps!

    Matt I am new to your channel and really enjoying it. I just watched this sawmill video and you commented on the grain in the wood. I am an old woodworker and have known about this for a long time, this process of wood getting aged and wet is called "spalting", woodturners especially like it. As a matter of fact I intentionally spllt wood in a lot of cases before I turn it. You never know what you will get when you cut it or turn into it. Keep up your good work...

    It's going to be awesome to turn standing dead logs into dimensional lumber for the house you're going to build. There's something great about milling lumber from trees cut on your own land. Very cool, Matt. Looking forward to seeing this machine pay for itself!

    Hey Matt. Congrats on the new mill. I've had mine for a couple decades. Your log was spalted, which is early decay caused by fungus, makes for some really interesting grain. If you really want to show off the grain, wet the slab and scrape the excess water off with a 12" drywall knife. Wood is much easier to mill when it's wet, go slower when the logs are dry. Not sure if you got a sharpener with it, but you may want one. You really can't cut very much per blade otherwise. Have fun! -Jon

    As far as I'm concerned the videos you create transcend "working on heavy equipment for you guys". They've always been more of a "lifestyle that I wish I had" type of content, in which this falls right in line with, in my humble opinion.
    You don't just pick up equipment just to get it running. You put it to use and also tour with the equipment that you have resurrected, to the vintage equipment shows and are part of a thriving community. You also provide inspiration (hopefully) to a younger generation of aspiring mechanics and JOATs to get off the gaming consoles and out there doin stuff that's real!

    Good show and tell today! Unless your goal is to make lumbermill cuts, you can just make a primary cut and flip it 180 degrees and slab cut the log leaving the other edges rustic. A good table saw can finish the rest. Nice to see the Made In America label. Also good you brought up the boogered bolt threads publicly!

    Matt, I had a cousin that built a saw mill. The bearings for the blade guide came from scrap from a local hospital after they stripped it down. He used car tires for blade pulleys, and it didn't do bad, but he just wasn't completely happy with it, so he sold it. I was in a Home Depot when I met a guy that was looking for parts to finish it up. It turns out that this was the guy that bought my cousin's saw.

    BTW, that's maple. More specifically you have Ambrosia Maple - Which is when beetles bore in and you end up seeing those little pin holes but the fungus in their poop makes the very cool color variations in the wood. Ambrosia maple is highly desirable for crafts, specialty wood items, veneer, and furniture. Have fun. brush off the dirt before you mill. It will make your blades last far longer.

    I have watched quite a few YT videos of people using various Woodmizer mills, but this is the first time I have seen what a neat job they make of packing them up for transport, and someone assembling the mill. Thanks Matt for that. One thing that always strikes me as strange with Woodmizer mills is that they are designed so that the sawdust comes out the side that the operator stands. Some other mills on the market have the blade running the other way so that the sawdust is on the opposite side to the operator.😀🇬🇧
