  • I've got a few building projects coming up so I needed to mill some timber. Lots of comments on my previous milling vids asking for a close up look at my sawmill so I'll show how this dual blade mill is put together.

    I wouldn't be surprised if one day Marty builds himself a wood kiln out of a used 40 foot shipping container and a wood furnace to heat it with a forced air system blowing air around the plenum into the kiln.
    A friend of mine built one that way.
    Worked beautifully.
    He insulted the outside and covered that with wood he milled himself so it looked like a long shed which is what he used it for when he wasn't drying lumber he milled himself.

    I've never ran across a mill like that one over here in the states.. We all use band mills these days that use bandsaw blades and you have to cut it to thickness and then cut it again to width.. They had something like that at the old lumber mill that ran from 1880s up until the latter 1990s when it shut down but it had the blades set up a distance apart and the logs moved through a set of circular gang saw blades cutting many layers at once at one station and then to the other dimension at the next set of blades.. Most of my fellow Americans couldn't use that one due to no guards and safeties... They'd be limbless the first day... 😄

      @@ebutuoyebutouy There was actually a shortage of glues that caused the high prices of engineered wood products like plywood and OSB. Dimentional lumber was a lot more greed fueled in some areas. Many people who had access to a saw mill used them while the price was high. Now the prices where I live are pretty much back to normal for dimensional lumber but the engineered stuff is still quite high.
      What I don't understand about states like Louisana where major storms are an issue is why when houses are built they don't build steel shutters for the windows lag bolted into the structure so that all you have to do is close them and bolt them up before a storm hits.

    My first thought in watching today’s video was “wow, that engine looks familiar”. My dad bought a new Datsun pickup back in 1969, and I probably haven’t seen a Datsun engine since 1974, but I recognized it right off. Cool!
