I do not know why i like your videos so much? All i can think is, at the end of my working day i can relax and watch someone labouring with a passion for their craft. Ali Scotland.
I've watched a lot of milling videos, and our are BY FAR the most helpful and informative. And you seem to have a knack for getting REALLY good camera angles. In an age when photography is done by absolutely every random Joe on their Iphone, that was an absolute gem of a video. Subscribed.
I like your videos I’ve been watching a lot of other people miser videos for a long time but yours are the best because your camera angles and close-ups you get to actually understand what’s happening .others have the camera too far away ,You make the effort to move the camera around and make it an experience thank you
you will learn as we all do the hard way, but it would we wise to find someone in your area with a mill and go talk with them, ideas are a dine a dozen, watching and learn, I have 4 friends with mills that I help on, 3 and wood mizer's LT40 and LT70, and we always cut the logs 8'4'' 0r 10'4'' , but we also have a forklift to ramp our logs, one guy has a log table set the same height as the mill table, use a forklift to load the table with 6 or so logs when we just round the into place and use the Log turner, using a cant gets old, if you are cutting wood for your self you know the size you want, one guy just cuts the logs into large cants, basically he takes the bark off them so they are off the ground bugs love pine bark, we cut a log of pine, we always use a lot of soap in the water and a lot of water, this keeps the pitch from building up of the blade, we also spray for bugs while we stick and stack the lumber, we keep the stack about 8 above the ground and cover the stack with metal. Here in Florida we air dry pine for 30 to 60 days, when I put it in my Kiln dryer and take it down to 9 to 12 percent Moisture, buy a good MC Meter, dry wood makes a better project. You my friend are a very hard worker, god bless you. I love to watch others who like wood, we cut a lots of hardwoods too for table slabs etc.. I talk too much too.
Thanks to the people who built these sawmills, and thanks to you for talking, explaining what's going on. I've watched sawing where nobody says anything, and it is so boring. When you get through stacking the Job, what is done with it from there? does the customer pick it up from there?
Ok two thoughts. I suggested before that you fully upgrade to an electric winch. But now to add to that. Miunt a winch on a 2" hitch receiver. Then mount a few spots to insert said winch along your track. Run cable on the outside so you can plug the winch into the Mill's battery.
Fall Line Ridge that’s not just a sharp idea that’s a great idea that’s how I got mine set up receiver style insert with a pulley on the end of the upright. Ok for turning the heavy cants build a cant style hook cut from some medium plate. You can hook the winch to the hook and turn the heavy cants. I have a woodlands mill 130 I bought just for the saw head I built my own custom sawmill trailer this way. Sure saves the back. Find a Norwood mill video look at the winch the way it’s used and turn it into a electric set up you’ll get a better idea of what I’m talking bout.
Fall Line Ridge and like the other viewer said wire the winch back to the mill battery. I crank my mill when I’m winching logs on to keep the battery up and winch strong
I had a woodmizer LT30 for 25 years, 16' 10" maximum cut. One time I needed a couple 22 Ft beams, Got it done. I sold that mill and built a bellsaw mill from a pile of parts, then sold it and bought another band mill, woodmizer imitation built my Mennonites I think. It has partial hydraulics and a 21 Ft cut, that's enough for everything I might want to build I think. About ready to start building a large greenhouse with cedar and black locust timber frame.
Great video. I enjoy your videos. Except for the log turner thingy cam. Lol Since you asked. My idea for the wench is to make another wench assembly ( the arm the wench is mounted to). Make it similar to a receiver hitch then mount receivers in say two or three places that you think you will need. Also put a mount in the tail of the mill so you could use tongs and wench to slide the log towards the tail of the mill. I hope this made since to you. Thanks again for bringing us along.
You sure don't need to stop off at the gym on the way home after that. Thanks for taking the time to give us different camera angles, that was great. The ramps should be longer which would lessen the strain on the winch. Just a thought.
Looking for your opinion. I have an opportunity for a one year old LT15 Go with power feed, 25 HP engine and a box of upgraded blades for 8K. I wasnt ready to buy this year, but planned for next. Should I take advantage of this, it seems like a great price, might not come around again. Thanks again for all you do.
If it's in good shape, I'd say that's a killer deal. I paid about 12 for this one. That engine is about an $800 upgrade. The power feed is around $1200.
Looked through the comments section for a ways down, & didn't see even one of those blasted SJWS anywhere! What a blessing! Great video! Have a great day!!!
According to Chris Guins over in North Carolina, adding sawdust to the earth creates good quality top soil. It occurred to me that this idea might be of benefit to you as you prepare your growing area in that wooded glade...Regards Robin Pearson.
Great job on the video and gorgeous lumber but on these type jobs you could sure use a sidekick to help out. For stacks of logs like this one why dont you try building a log dolly. You can move it around by hand or hook it to a four wheeler. Seen incredibly heavy logs moved this way without alot of effort. Be perfect for setting logs into position to winch them onto your mill. I have even seen people use them as a skidder to haul logs out of the woods.
@@falllineridge your welcome always willing to pass on my experience and knowledge. I have been around the patch quite a few years and either seen or done pretty much everything.
Thank you for all your videos but in North Carolina people sell logs so high > less people canafford to bring it local sawmill for a small or large project at home. i wish i can buy s small mill save money for a project. Thanks !
If you use a hook, and the winch cable you can use the power of the winch to turn the logs. It will also hold the log in position for dogging. Over the top of the log helps by lifting it as it rolls it over. Worth a try!
Do you think it would have been any faster (or easier) to cut the logs to 8'6" first? Granted it would mean loading twice as many logs, but you might have been able to use your drill on the winch handle. Good work milling up all those logs into boards.
bwillan The trouble was moving them to a spot where they could be loaded on the mill...or having to move the mill. That’s what I was trying to avoid. But, as far as log handling while on the mill, that would have been the simplest option.
txdot is doing a road widening project and they are mulching up logs that make those look like the branches from them....I just wished I had my mill ready I'd be trying to get them...
Another good video. Anyway to put your lumber trailer about 3-4 foot behind your mill? That way you could just pivot your cut lumber onto it and still have a walkway for milling. It looks like you’re doing a lot of walking to and fro.
Extremely good video work! I learned a thing or two and you made a pile of lumber making me think that just once in a while, you might take a little break... eat a small meal and get ten to fifteen minute nap... seriously. That hard of work will break the body after a while and no amount of money or job promise is worth that. No one would fault you for not being a productive hard worker. Copy their design and have someone weld some more pockets for the winch or better yet take the one that you have and weld a bracket that allows you to slide that winch say five feet either way plus look into a electric winch that with some hillbilly thinking will allow you a quick disconnect on the power to the winch by running conduit to the underside of the mill. You don't have to weld it on... make some slide onto the frame from the underside so that you can leave or take off the wiring. Since this wire is probably eight to ten gauge wire, make it so the wire stays in the conduit and is on quick connectors. I am sure that you can do most of that yourself and it will be something other mill operators copy.Damn good work son... I am 72 and done it myself
You get an A+ for camera positioning on this video. I've watched a LOT of sawmill videos and I saw some very unique views. Nice work on those pine logs. I live in the northeast so white pine is the dominant lumber tree. Are the red pine as pitchy as the white pine logs? Would love to have a kiln update to know how that is working out for you.
Not sure about the pitch. The kiln works. I didn't design it very well so it's tough to load. I'm at the point where I'm satisfied with air drying. Really appreciate the compliment. Thanks for stopping by!
Very informative can you cut 2"×16×12 on your mill and for 24 feet long would you need and different mill. Thanks for your video's on milling have an awesome day. Peace from Montana
Larger logs that mill to longer lengths are much more valuable, in money and personal use, than cutting it all to 8 feet. 2X4s are 8 feet, 2X6s are longer, 2X8 to 2X12 are three times more valuable per linear foot as 16s vs 8s
What do you do with the saw dust and the bark slabs. You could make money off oc the discards. Garages buy saw dust for the garage floor and cow places use the dust for their barn floor. Not to mention pet shops.
For all of you guys that are working pine trees. Sap is sticky on most wood and worse on white pine. Sticking to you hands and blades too. A lot of you guys might use gas to get the sap off your hands which can be harmful. Instead try using any kind of cooking oil. That’s right, cooking oil,, it will loosen the sap and finish with soap. You’ll be amazed how easy sap comes off
I've seen you struggle with keeping logs square when you load them before. Instead of doing a single line pull from the winch get another cable and attach it to the frame near your ramps at both ends. Then after you roll the log over the cable attach your winch line to the middle of the cable. This will allow you to winch up the log but support it at 2 points that will get wider as the log gets higher on the ramps. It should stabilize it much better.
you can get 12 volt electric truck wenches for almost nothing '' like < $200..at harbor freight etc combine that with a small generator you have taken out a lot of the physical work
Really curious to know what you are up to with all the 2x4s...? And how are your solar kilns doing? Here in VA its still plenty warm, so Im sure you are warm down there too. Cheers!
I would go with a hydraulic, air, or 12v. electric cylinder using the same method as a dump on a dump truck. Good video always enjoy your videos. God Bless!
The mill has to work against itself in order to cancel out the lateral force from winching a log. So, with it mounted on the truck it might end up pulling the mill over some. I like the idea though.
Hum... Having more ramps would help. Having two or three winches would be nice - flat tape is nicer can be a pain to roll. But strength and width is great. Truckers use them all of the time. Paratroops use them. See Army surplus. Doing good with the mill. Or since you have a tractor - look into a grapple and pick up a log and place it on the bed. Maybe the tractor isn't large enough -
18:30 - not gonna lie: I held my breath here for a good minute or so. Good job, but material and yourself have suffered. Like you said, not worth the effort. Stay healthy and safe!
Cutting the raw stock in longer pieces is also a potential cost/profit savings should you discover a knot or other defect in the (middle) of an 8ft slab that needs to be cut out. You can make an intelligent decision about having the occasional longer (and more profitable) pieces instead.
@@falllineridge go pro audio is just fine, your vid obviously has some weird echo, not sure why but I doubt it its the gopro, I have used one on many occasions and never heard this. good video though, just thought I would mention it, something went wrong in post somewhere along the line
@@falllineridge Have you switched the gear selector on your electric drill from 2 (normal) to 1 (extra torque)? It's a lower gear and is pretty strong. It's on top on a DeWalt, which I think you have?
You could just get an electric wench with a small solar panel to keep it charged or you can double your ramp lengths to decrease the amount of torque needed to get it on the mill.
I would have cut 8' & 9'. Convenient stud wall and 9' for high ceiling. Why cut oddball lengths. Not trying to troll here, just don't see your reasoning if one has to chop them shorter for use anyways.
Dude hook from.end of log aswell stand on other side then use boot as a wedge to hold log. I guess this comes in time and wear and tear on your body lol
Enjoyed watching your long pine logs video. I will be watching for your next video. Thanks!

Why don't you make extension rails for your mill for when you have long timber to cut?
How do you collect sawdust for sale/reuse? Ever consider throwing down a tarp first, then letting it collect there?
Think it wouldn't take much to make a bagger that attached to the chute.

Mount a electric winch on front of your truck and position it next to mill,can that work?
The mill has to work against itself in order to cancel out the lateral force from winching a log. So, with it mounted on the truck it might end up pulling the mill over some. I like the idea though.
More snatchblocks and longer ramps. Good luck.
can you add a length extension
you need a small tractor with a set of forks to lift the logs onto the bed.
What type of pine is that?
Hum... Having more ramps would help. Having two or three winches would be nice - flat tape is nicer can be a pain to roll. But strength and width is great. Truckers use them all of the time. Paratroops use them. See Army surplus. Doing good with the mill. Or since you have a tractor - look into a grapple and pick up a log and place it on the bed. Maybe the tractor isn't large enough -
i think so, should get the grapple, or he can get a small lifter just on the side of the working table.
work a little harder when you/er working for yourself huh? keep it up bubby
