A man who's really happy in his work.. not that common. Compulsive viewing!
Mathew even with the bad saw blades, your enthusiasm is contagious. Congratulations on the wood.
Thanks!
Given the orientation of all the "little surprises" with respect to the crotches, I would say that you definitely choose the correct position for the slabbing.
running a chainsaw for 12 years taught me I absolutely despise anybody who puts metal in a tree.
There was a tactic that some environmental extremists did to protect trees, and that was to imbed nails into trees that were gonna be cut down, so that the chainsaw would catch them and possibly harm the worker in one way or another
this fella loves it whoop... lol something we will never understand.
Dr. Gray if they did it and it worked I would be kinda sorry for them but also screw them (the tree cutters)
Nathan W no joke! Back in the 80's I did a bit of forestry, and especially during fire season, a couple guys would saw into some left over rail spike, sometimes leading to some brutal injuries.
AstralpemHyten trees are pretty renewable if you're responsible enough to keep the cycle going. Unfortunately, I don't have much stock in the ethics of others.
It's a real wakeup when you find out the guitar neck you last bought came from a nearly deforested region of Cambodia, where people kill each other over trees.
Some more beautiful slabs there. As always, I enjoy your demeanor and positive attitude. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Matt!
quit saying beautiful price will go up and he will work on sundays
As a wood worker, those slabs of wood make drool, thinking of all the projects to come from them. Love that you designed and built your mill.
Thanks Terry!
We've taken to using wood dowels for hanging things from the trees in our yard. Still will have inclusions, but no saw damage.
Use a good variety of hardwoods for the dowels.
When someone saws up a log, they'll find embedded bits of ipe, teak, mahogany, Spectraply, etc.
Great idea!👍👍
@@doubledarefan that would be awesome!
He said inclusions
UA-cam home page - u want to see someone cutting a tree for 39min right?
me - I mean its 2am and I'm bored.... sureee
Damn its 2am for me to lmmfao
🇬🇧 If You're bored sod off. Nobody is making you watch.
2:14 AM here too although have skimmed through most of it for the good parts loved it
3:13 am on a friday night ... this is how i spend my life
2:14 AM while the apocalypse is going on
The reason you do explanation is the same as I like splitting firewood by hand.
I really like the work you do.
The amount of great wood we waste or throw away in NYC is sinful. Silver maple....beauty.
Serious props to you Matt. What a rewarding job you have.
Great Video for those that like to learn. The nails and bolts are from deer hunters constructing stands many years ago.
It was in a yard, much more likely a tree house for kids.
@@jaydunbar7538 Your guess is as good as mine, either way, it was for "Off the ground Comfort".
I want this one to be my dinner table! Great job!
Can't believe you made it through that log without another blade. Good looking stuff and I hope it pays off for all that work
Bonus accessory limb with quintuple crotches.... Livin' large my man! I gotta make the trek up to see you and see if I can't liberate one or two slabs from you for a price...
I love this guy. It's like he's telling himself a joke all the time. Life is good...why not giggle a little bit! HEY MATT. If you're ever in North Carolina, you are invited to my guitar shop! Love to have you. We can talk wood, and pod cast or whatever!
I’d love that. Thanks!
Somehow UA-cam recommendations might seem strange, but the videos often entertain me farther than I could've imagined. Who knew how interesting watching a tree being cut could be. Love the quality of the videos and you clearly love what you do. I'm subscribed now!
Thanks!
You should sell them for more, steel reinforced slabs, no additional hardware needed.
"I love wood". A man after my own heart.
To save your saw blades... could you possibly remove the larger steel with a deep/small diameter hole saw or weld an eye bolt to the steel and maybe yank some of the steel out with a fulcrum(!?)
When you said "rot pocket" I sang it in my head to the Hot Pocket tune.
WHEN YOU WANT A HOT MEAL WITHOUT A BIG DEAL, WHAT ARE YA GONNA PICK? ROT POCKET!
Love your channel Matt. Wish I could visit you some day.
When cutting old forked logs here in nz, I got into the habit of cutting the log below the fork, the few extra planks you got , was never worth the risk. Iv struck old possum traps, hay knifes, dog chains, slashers, and once” an axe head, now that did some damage.had twin saw with inserted teeth, all stuffed.
This man straight out of 2000,
reminds me of my dad.
Build a roof for your mill. Make sure to make it high enough so that it doesn't interfere with loading/unloading logs and lumber. Build the frame work with lumber that you mill yourself and put a metal roof on it. If you're concerned about thunder storms then how safe do you feel when you're in your house? It wouldn't be much different whether you were in your house or under a roof for your mill. With that all being said an even a safer place to be is in a faraday cage, i.e. a vehicle with a metal body.
I wonder if the hardware in the tree isn't holders for early electrical insulators. Before they went to power poles, they used whatever trees were near a house to string it's electrical wires.
Old remains of a tree house and nailed in ladder. It all makes sense.
Did a couple of those decades ago.
Do kids still make tree houses?
Minecraft I suppose
I went on a tour of a commercial saw mill it was amazing. huge band saws and robots manipulating the logs
I sure like your saw !!!
Everybody loves Raymond! I always wondered what he did after his show ended!
There was me thinking 'can't you collect the sawdust as it comes out?' only to get to the point in the video with the kids clearing it up with mini dumper trucks.
Your like me; all by yourself and figured out a 100 ways to move tons of materials. It would take days for a government employee to do this job and millions of dollars in equipment.
I'd really love a slab of that for a beautiful table top shame to see the tree die but I would love to see all the beautiful things it turned into!
Great video ,Matthew! Love your attitude!
Thanks!
Your neighbors must really enjoy saw noises
Should be doing a chemistry assignment due in a day but I’m on UA-cam watching someone chop up a log...
Wow, I can't believe that you're leaving the slabs in place while cutting the next and the next and the next. Seems to me that your slabs would be slimmer at the trailing end because of the excessive weight being put on the blade.
Crotchzilla. Intentionally or unintentionally altered 🔨by the recklessness of man. Crotchzilla will destroy man's creations (band saw blades) but in the end will work with you to ultimately create great beauty.
I think this dude loves wood.
The neighbors must love you.
Awesome slabs. I would love to have a few slabs for a bar counter.
I'm really motivated to build a table for some reason after watching this...?
Should do a vid on selling some, I'm honestly curious
Instead of bringing your hand close to the blade with the water sprayer, could you not retro fit a container to the bridge and allow for a dripper type system with a flexible hose that can lubricate the blade for you?
im comin down from a 4gram mushroom trip your video is amazing
I bet your neighbors love you.........Hours of loud industrial sawing......:)
I suspect that over time you will learn that most interesting grain beats uniform slabs hands down! A metal detector is cheap and saves many extra costs. Old buried fencing is my bane. The stains can really screwup finishing. The good thing is these days people find those artifact elemnets to be happy accidents. Cutting wet helps!? The nightmare is a cabled tree that has the anchors and shackles included and no longer has telltales on the surface. Like remnants of old tree houses. All else aside, carbide blades and slow progress can be good practice.
Ate about 3 blades here... Can't imagine those are cheap. Hope that makes a bunch of very expensive tables...
I love watching your videos man, you're always doing cool stuff. Thanks!
Thank you!
ever think of using a levelwind like the fishermen use for your cable system??
The Tree by my house has a fence post inside it you can only see a part of the steel fence post the rest is inside the tree trunk so whoever cuts that tree down is going to go though a few chainsaw blades to cut that tree down
Hey Matt, do you know of any books that describe different species of wood in North America and explain some of the characteristics of wood grain and coloration?
I’ll have to look through my books and see. I find the wood database to be decently helpful with that
National Audubon Society Field guide to trees is a good one. Great pictures!
"Understanding Wood (A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology); also Identifying Wood, both by Bruce Hoadley (Taunton Press) are a fairly good source.
you don't use a metal detector on the logs before cutting them?
Thanks for the reply to my comment. Question? You have a lot of slabs,, do you have projects for them all? Or do you just enjoy the adventure of.cutting
Wouldnt it be a good idea if you run a metal detector thru the log just one of those hand detector it would save time a blades and you could get an idea where metal might be and take it out or kno how far to go and a detector could pinpoint the metal very easy for you before you start cutting
Every time I end up on this channel.. hes replacing a blade.
Nice mill
You must have some very understanding neighbors.
I wonder how the market is for rustic, natural look tables, etc
I saw some small ones for sale at one of the local "big box" stores, and it was pricey.
Did you do a video on that trailer? Could you link to it?
With some tubular steel and one axle two wheels, I'd make a dolly so much easier to move slabs around.
I love wood, too. You're incredible. Congrads
This is a Maple tree right? Might be maple splines for maple syrup left in from a long time ago
Im curious, what do you do with the old blades that you remove?
How much do you figure it cost you to saw that log? Blades, electric etc.
Cut a slab out of the centre, stick some kwgs on it and you got yourself a dinning table fit for a Viking
I am allergic to this much work...? No way! I heard Chuck Norris hula hoops with those saw blades...
Dude, that saw is cool as!
Great video
Do they have blades that can cut both metal and wood?
At the 1:30 time stamp on this video when you look at the tree it almost looks like a grey whale complete with an eye :) sweet!
That is so cool what you do.. WOW I would love to have a piece of that lol
If your kids like trucks go to brides the bebsite and they have a lot of fun trucks
An adventure one slab at a time.. And worth it..
Someone had a homemade deer stand in that tree
15:46 "Awww... I love wood... lol"
15:47 My wife would agree with that statement..lmao
Your a lot more cavalier about ruining expensive blades than I would be!
How much do you think those blades cost?
Neighbours must wonder why they bought a house next to a sawmill.
Geez, got that right. I wouldn't stand for all that noise. This needs to be done out on a farm.
How do you know he has any neighbors near enough to care?
That was more interesting than it should have been.
You say you do this as a hobby but I do think you are selling these slabs and perhaps have a nice business there for yourself. Do you discard the worn saw blades, have them sharpened, or perhaps sharpen them yourself?
Are these cuts for tables?
beautiful wood
I look for the longest sliver maple and end up here.
How old would the steel be in that tree
wonder how much each blade cost?
Who do you sell your slabs to? Individuals? Large retailers?
All direct sales. No retailers
Not sure if its the subject mater, but his voice is really grating. London, uk.
I take it you don't like Ray Ramonos voice either.
@@chucksherron I actually loved Everybody Loves Raymond. I even had every season on dvd. One of my all time favourites.
I'm curious why you don't wedge your cuts at all, even when you've got 5 previous cuts stacked on top? Heat and pressure just not a concern for bandsaw?
The slabs are stiff enough that there is little pressure on the blade from the cut slabs. It would be different if he was cutting them 1/2" thick, as the would flex much more.
I bet you get a lot of morning wood 😂😂
I am curious, do your neighbor's like your saw dust as much as you? LOL
Does the blade get hotter when you cut below an existing cut because of he extra weight on it?
Do you sell any of the slabs?
I like you rig, good set up!! I subscribed..... I know nothing of this practice, can you refurb your blades? Yourself? Keep up the good work.
How much do one of your slabs go for?
The word "here" forces us to look for a hand gesture. It not always visible. Descriptive words are better.
Does anyone else wonder if those steel bolts were an attempt, by tree huggers, to sabotage the log?
PLease, please leave the steel embedded in the log. It is a very unique feature. People do pay more for that. it just can't be replicated in some laminate kitchen......
How much is it for one blade ?
Maybe the metal is from old maple syrup taps? Or something
actually that sounds plausible.
trees are the biggest living thing on Earth
How much are those blades. Man you go through them.
