  • I brought down a dying maple which loomed over the cabin. Its falling branches had already damaged the roof tarp, so I decided to bring it down before it did anymore damage to the cabin ...or us. I also climbed high up on the cabin to trim the ridgepole, and I milled some lumber on my portable sawmill to complete the snowmobile camper for my upcoming trip with it.

    I've a small Norwood Sawmill and I'd like to offer a tip someone gave to me. At 1:51 in the video I can see a slab with a lot of taper. What I've done to get a more uniform cant is to measure each end of the log, minus the small end from the large end divide by 2. That number I'll raise the small end and theoretically both slabs will be equal. I have 1/2", 3/4", 1", 5/4", 6/4", & 2" blocks that I use to raise the smaller end. Works out pretty good. Great job on all you projects! I love all your videos.

    Just a suggestion from an old guy who used to spend a lot of time climbing ladders for living. Rather than carrying things in your hand use a rope to pull up or let down the extra tools, that way you have both hands for the ladder.
    You might look into selling figured wood to knife makers for handles

    @fredcarani6764 4 роки тому +1

    I did the same thing when I built my place. Left too many trees too close to the house because they looked good. Then I learned the mistake. In the winter during thawing periods they would unload heavy wet snow bombs onto the roof. In the summer they presented a fire danger with branches hanging over the house. So those trees are gone now. It would have been easier if I had taken them down before I built but as they say live and learn.

    This was lightning strike territory, and tall pine trees were surrounding the house.
    That and the high iron in the water turned the trees into 100+ foot lighting rods.
    I took down 8 large trees and made a lot of fire wood.

    That shot with the camera on the log end you cut off was fantastic. Nice job all around and thanks for sharing.

    Really enjoy your videos. I do have a chain saws suggestion. Use your chain brake whenever you are moving about with a running saw, and especially if you are climbing a ladder

    That saw mill comes in handy. You can do so much with that thing

    Cool footage of you cutting off the end of the log as it fell to the ground and other slow motion toss of logs.
