This was really terrific. Sometimes I feel silly wondering about the logistics of everything, but apparently a lot of people "just want to know" and you always make it worth a person's time and truly entertaining.
Yeah Matthew, I'm also one of those "want to know" guys about a lot of things. Thanks for sharing !! You certainly have all the right equipment !! Blessings !!
Once again, you have kept me glued to one of your amazing videos ! ' Me', the elder-ish woman who lives in low to no trees/forest area inTexas, who is a big fan of the wood genius of Matt Cremona!! Happy New Year to you and the family! Sue 😊
I like the logistics of things too.
I was a shipping clerk for 40 years. Your relationship with drivers and freight companies is huge and it can get you out of tight situations lots of times.
You are spot on when you talk about "hanging out with Eric". When you are self-employed as a one-man-band, as I have been for the last 15 years, mixing with people who have similar interests is both really important and fun.
Exactly this
Take it from an old man, getting on and off the telehandler, walking over to the skid steer, manually shifting large, heavy slabs repeatedly is exercise! Love your channel. Carry on! 4:32
These longer format videos about the business side of things are always the most interesting to me.
These behind-the-scenes, making-the-sausage (or, in this case, drying it and shipping it) videos are great. Jack-of-all-trades doesn't begin to describe Matt, especially since he happens to be master of at least quite a few...
This is a good video to show people who think their walnut tree is worth a lot more than it is. So much $$$ involved every step of the way to usable lumber.
It isn't a telehandler, but it's satisfying to see the look of relief on the faces of freight haulers when I drive the tractor with pallet forks to the end of my driveway.
It was nice seeing the (behind the scenes process.) I never knew how the process of drying wood happened. Thanks for sharing.
Square footage in the truck bed is the most precious commodity. That's what limits the load in most cases.
I'm a bit of a logistics geek, so I find it fascinating to see your process from tree to log to slab to final shipment.
Here’s to hoping that Matt, family and friends have a safe and prosperous New Year!
You are a marvelous material manipulator, Matt!
It's always great to have friends like Eric that are in the wood business.
Great video!! Thanks for taking the time to record and thoughtfully explain the steps between the… more glorious milling and furniture making, of the “tree to table” process!!
Not like you need more projects… but a hyper lapse of the ENTIRE process from falling a tree to putting a table in a dining room…. Would be bonkers cool! Maybe collaborate with another maker? Or Maybe ignore this entirely cuz you’re already busy AF.
That is an incredible amount of time spent prepping the stack for pickup
Good Morning Cremona Family.
Wow. I never imagined I’d be glued to a screen on the logistics of a log slab lol. Great video Matt
It just shows you the difference in prices for items find it the same once you go over a certain size it nearly doubled in cost. Take care all have a lovely new year wherever you are
Found this one to be your most interesting. You do this type of video extraordinarily well.
I love how Pancake is just supervising all of the log movements.
No questions, love to see you working a lot..
This is one of my all time favourite videos! Thanks for sharing Matt
Great video Matt. Good behind the scenes of what happens to slabs. No one ever shows other than the cutting part.
I’ve shipped some big heavy stuff. Generally the higher you go, the cheaper it is. It’s largely the foot print in the truck that you are paying for. Going higher usually costs very little extra even if it makes the pallet substantially heavier.
Utilizing Eric's capital equipment is a win-win. He has the capacity for 10 - 12 sawmills.
Question: does vacuum accelerated drying eliminate the outer crystallization effect of conventional speed drying?
Awesome video, I really like it when you tell everything the way it goes, and you are honest enough to tell the pricing and explain them, it gives us a general idea of why some of the stuff can be so expensive....could you explain also the selling price of slabs not dried and the dried ones, as also per the length and thickness how it affects the pricing? I just bought aluminium plates and at first I was surprised of the price jump between 1/4 thick, going to 5/16 was a real shock, one would think 1/16 thicker is negligeable in price ...but it's not!!
Fantastic info. And I’m only 1/3 in to the video and sitting in my truck and not working in my inner city rental shop/garage…………………. …………..(the sound of me shaking my head….at myself.
Oh well. Better get back at it.
Love this Chanel. Also loved one of the last videos I watched of you and your fam doing an open mic session and talking about your own home construction. Great to hear that it takes even a pro, an, ef’ing long time to make the products look as good as you make them in your own house. Made me laugh out loud actually, as a Reno-carpenter , II’ve made various efforts on my own house, thinking these things will go fast and beautiful. Beautiful, yes…fast…no…
Take care eh!
You rocked another posting!!! Thanks for running the numbers. I got a small totally manual mill a few years back. Milling a "small" 12x20 shed for my son right now... and then a 16x16 deck. Oh, and I do have a full time job. Free lumber is the best, he says.... Right now there is someone in LA in an apartment wondering just how heavy those slab are.... HEAVY!!! As in so dang HEAVY!!!! As in, A LOT can go wrong when manually moving things. So if there are any judgers out there. You just go ahead and judge from your gym treadmill. We're living the life of lifting and lovin' it!!!! Happy New Year everyone! Matt, if you ever would like help for a couple days this summer, just let me know!!!
Yeah, I need one of those kilns!
Ha! what a surprise to see the origin of my workbench kit at the end. It actually showed up on my end just fine and I'm super happy to have something to do for 2024. Thanks Matthew. Great videos.
Thank you, I watched all the way through. I was wondering about drying after the last video. I actually looked up building kilns. 😂
Great video, I was cracking up with your dog in almost all the shots of moving slabs around...looks like the foreman!
Happy New Year to you and your family. Stay safe.
So many questions answered. Wondered aboout a bunch of the material covered in this one
As a former truck driver I’m really impressed at the utility of your telehandler.
That driveway of yours is so awesome.
Fascinating video, thanks for sharing Matt 😊
Thanks for sharing this Matt. I've used my Alaskan chainsaw mill to cut several thousand board-feet of hard wood lumber over the past 28 years and I've always air-dried everything; that vacuum kiln makes me jealous!
Cool! Nice work!
Wow. Even with the handling equipment, still a lot of work and time on your part. Impressive!
Thanks for going over this process. It indeed has been a question of mine. Appreciate it.
Happy New Year Matt and thank you for the tour of your operation. I'm 80 years old and have been retired from my engineering job for over twenty years now, so I enjoy watching other people work..lol. Have a great year. -Curt Kuhns
Very informative video and commentary, Matt. Personally, the content that I find most delightful is when you build things - furniture, stands, etc. - with the wood that you have milled and prepped. Hopefully, your channel will have more and more of those in the mix in the future. All the best and Happy 2024 to you and yours!
That's a " BIG DOD A WID ".
( Aska Scotsman. ). 😎🏴
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year 🎈🎊🥳❤️🎇⭐️🎆🌠
Fabulous machinery
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now and following the renovations on your your new home. I am truly fascinated with your talents for a young man. I keep looking for the finished work and completion of the work. Most of your videos are dated a year ago or more. When will will get to view the finished product?
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing! 👍
Great video Matt, I missed the moisture on the finish.
6-7%
Really awesome video, Matt! It’s always fun to see how things are done.
Thanks, this was super intresting video.
Happy New Year, Matthew.
Matt thank you. Enjoyed. 🇦🇺
HAPPY NEW YEAR, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
🎉 Happy new year Matt
Happy new year Matthew.
happy new year to you and your fam
Always enjoy. Thank you for making all the videos you do. Happy new year
Fantastic episode! And it’s fun watching you load slabs for Wink!
Fascinating video! Very well done… waiting for my work bench
really interesting vid. so cool to see the logistics involved in this
Thanks, you answered a lot of questions I had. And several I hadn't even thought of yet. I love your videos.
Thank you Matt happy new year
Really cool seeing your process. Great video.
Happy New Year !
Fascinating the amount of work involved. Thanks for a great video Matt. Hope this is an outstanding year for you.
You are one hard working man Matt. Happy New Year.
Always an education watching you live your life. Great insight into the whole process. Thank You Matt!
Happy new year
I remember the episode with drying but it is great to see another.
I love seeing how the sausage is made! I also appreciate how thoughtful you are about optimizing logistics at every step, not just the parts you touch.
Wishing you and the family a happy new year!
Thanks Trish!
I was at a mill recently talking about beams for a monolithic bench top. The guy said really thick and wide beams would probably never dry deeply.
Happy New Year
Matt is what we affectionately call "country strong" down south. You look at him and you think that boy cant pick up a quarter off the floor. Then you see him chunk these 200lbs slabs around 😳
Very interesting and your explanation of the drying g process just confirmed why I had so much trouble with my ash boat deck.
Very nice video really detailed I
Very informative video.
Great Video
What an Inventory Control Management headache
Wow that was interesting!!
Interresting vid. Thanks
I drove truck for twenty five years and I would have tipped you for having a machine like that; just so I didn't have to try to move it around in the truck. I would always come to you when called. (that sounds a bit creepy but not meant to be, lol). Have a great day and know that drivers really appreciate that kind of stuff...
Fabulous information im starting a slab business, ty
I'd love to get some of those boules containers to the UK.
I love watching your videos of sawmilling and woodworking, as I also have a UA-cam Channel with lots of mistakes as my channel is about 3 months, since I started. I am learning from you as well as other channels. Thanks for Your Help.
hello Matthew & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool thanks Matthew Friends Randy & Happy New Year's & The Best in New Year's 2024
I would love to watch a video where somebody who has ordered one of these slabs makes a luxury piece of furniture out of it.
Nice job hooking that stack in the door
The banders I used 50 years ago were the same as you are using. Didn't think anything stayed the same for 50 years.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, I was thinking the same thing.
Great video Matt...that Telehandler comes in handy..thats for sure..i always wondered how you shipped those slabs from there...course that highway down there is not a country road right..haa....like shipping charges,,everyone has them,,,,stay warm
Very interesting.
"good morning it's Sept 12th?...Good Morning right now its New Years eve 2023....In Auckland NZ"
Looks like you could use a deck over trailer to move your slabs to the kiln. Much easier without the fenders getting in the way of the forklift.
Currently it’s only a once a year occurrence
That stair case sounds awesome. I’d love to see that when it’s finished. Does he have a channel or social?
Yeah Matt, we gotta see the finished staircase that you mentioned !!
He doesn't
OOOOoooo, I was wondering how you balanced the load on the lift.
Already need a new barn 😮
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I'd bet shipping is a pain.
Now you need a deckover trailer for hauling slabs without those pesky fenders getting in the way.
Maybe if I did this more than once a year
I didn’t realize I had fork envy until I watched this.
😎😎😎
1223 happy new year. Fun video🤓
