I built a 12 x 12 dry cabin out of all rough cut lumber off a wood mizer mill a local farmer owns. He bought it for his help to have something to do during the winter plus he owns 2000 acres of timber so he has a never ending supply. I used 2x4x12 2x6x12, 2x8x12 and 1x12x10 for board and batton siding with 3 inch batts. I used 8x12 heart pine timbers for the foundation. They came out of an old house and had ax marks in them. It has taken a year doing it by myself. Mind you I am not a carpenter and I made my share of mistakes but I learned as I went. It has a 12 pitch tin roof. Setting the ridge board and rafters was the hardest part. He had more than one operator so I had to fight thickness problems and shrinkage on some of it.Two operators don't cut the same. Enjoy everything you do. You are a fine carpenter and craftsman.
@@johnnyholland8765 I like the sound of your cabin. I'm a big fan of turning my mistakes into "features". Which techinically means I never make a mistake. I make features.
I love how you like clean logs and are very thoughtful about the best use for each log. And I appreciate that you won't be living in everything that you make and probably take care to have even a higher quality for someone else. God bless you sir. Real fine❣️
Lived on 20 acres in upstate Ny as a kid. It was a triple canopy forrest with a huge pine stand on it. the the woods floor hadn't seen sunlight for 100 years or more. We cut some hardwood and pine out. I went back to visit the property long after it was sold decades later and where we'd cut was a wall of small trees and saplings. You couldn't walk through it if you had to. The pine forrest was still pretty clear on the floor but some spots on the property had more light and grew up nuts!
Bro you explain everything so well not many people know about the rings and heart wood, difference and uses appreciate the knowledge. Can you do a episode at Hannah’s house so we can see how big Josie is now. Appreciate y’all 👍🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻
First. good to see you still use the ol' truck, the old ones runs longer than new ones. how about a video of your "granddogs" they are amazing. thanks jeff.
Great video and informative, not seen Hannah for awhile hope all is ok, you got a good stack going to build you and Paige a nice small cabin. Take care
I'm a little surprised that by now you haven't gotten yourself a mini excavator with a thumb. It would make quick and easy work of all the small underbrush by snatching it right out of the ground. My little Kubotas could easily pick up any of those pine logs and lay them right of the Lull's forks. They also make quick and easy work in digging footers. They are also equipped with a blade that when lowered not only stabilizes the machine but give it tremendous pulling and lifting power as well as making backfilling and grading a much easier task. They are quite versatile machines and well worth the investment.
LOVE WATCHIN YOU CUT LOGS AND MILL THEM UP ! YOU NEED 2 OR 3 GUYS TO COME AND HELP YOU FOR A FEW DAYS !!! A BIG SKIDDER ALSO. DRAG TREES OUT INTO A BIG OPEN AREA CLOSE TO SAW MILL , TRIM ALL LIMBS OFF THERE, AND GET LOGS OUT OF THE WAY . THEN SHOVE THE LIMBS INTO A MONSTER PILE OUT IN THE OPEN TO BURN AT THE RIGHT TIME. CUT ABOUT 300 BIG TREES. BEFORE YOU STOP, THAT SHOULD LAST YOU AWHILE. 😊
Them big bucks love them thick growed up places they have browse like blackberry and their favorite greenbrier only come out when the rut starts just keep on keeping on
So then do you cut a certain number of each size & make a pile of them based on total number of pieces, & then fill the next sizes, or are they determined by the number of projected cuts by the end view of the grain availabilities & cut until all piles are filled up to a certain level? I'm impressed with your "grain management"!!! But still trying to understand it completely. I KNOW it comes from the years of experience with cutting & what projects you got lined up to satisfy too!! Did anyone ever tell you that "JUGGLING" was going to be necessary as a talent you'd be needing?? HAhaha!! 😄 GREAT JOB Jeff!! Keep up the AWESOME work!! Your buddy & a Minnesota Man - Greg Leonard 👍👍👍👍
Mr. Jeff I was a logger for 35yr years. I exported timber all over the world. I've been watching UA-cam videos about sawing loggs. Teak wood comes from Africa. 1 cubic square block 12x12 square block $8,707 for it. I've been on the wrong continent lol All right you got to have a good day bye-bye
Hey Jeff when you sharpen your blades make thegullet 1/4" deeper and your blade will last longer give the chip more room to get out of the way blade will run cooler my sharpener is a old harbor fright channsaw blade sharpener,hv good one from sweet hm Al.
Yo Jeff, I got a buddy that's got a sawmill and I'm just wondering boards what do you do to keep them from twisting or bowing, just the weight of each other on top of each other, do you wet them down with a hose later or what? Besides all that I just want to say I love your videos, Hannah and you are a good team for videos I love her videos too, she's quite a lady and a hard worker. So God bless you both and don't work your ass too hard brother. ✊️✌️😎
Admire how you consider the ecological impact of clearing out the underbrush. Many critters like to make these areas their home. Rabbits, game birds, snakes, rodents, Merle. Stockpile is looking good! Curious…what do you do with all the sawdust? Dad use to mix it in the compost heap and scatter it in the vegetable garden. Man eating tomatoes!!
Rent you a forestry mulcher or a disc mulcher for 1/2 a day and blow you some trails thru that brush in a heartbeat...without breaking a cold or 🔥 hot sweat 😂 👍
Jeff, I know Pine is becoming more and more prevalent in replanting after harvesting a forest area, but I was wondering if you replant hardwoods also when you go in to replant, or do you rely on Mother Nature to decide what comes back? I know those pines you cut are not small and that has to make space for about anything you would want to replant. I was just curious if its worth spending the extra time and money to do that.
Maybe he will answer but I’m about 50 miles from his house. In South Alabama it’s mostly pine and hardwoods are sent to the chip mill. Not much commercial production of hardwoods.
Mr. Jeff don't toss the carbine tipped blades. There is a gentleman on you tube that can sharpen them. And if I remember correctly he is in your region of the country Sir. I'll find his channel and comment the name in this video Mr. Jeff. 'preciate ya'll.
I wish I had planned years ago to buy property that was affordable back then, so I had enough land to have a sawmill and a covered storage area to dry lumber, that I could then use to build furniture, instead of having to buy from these greedy sawmills, that want to get rich like so many people these days. Sure the cost of inflation can be passed to customers, but more and more people are choosing to buy the cheaper fabricated furniture, instead of quality handmade heirloom furniture. I definitely could have raised my per hour costs to jump on the "get rich quick" train, though I still enjoy building quality handmade custom furniture, that families can pass on long after I'm gone. Is what it is, and more and more people want things cheaper, but charge more and more for their products, if they own their own business. I've always lived by treat others like I like to be treated, though that concept is slipping away more and more, and has been replaced with I deserve better/more than everyone else does. IMHO...integrity has been replaced with greed...for those that have jumped on that train! 🤔
Appreciate the Sawmill content Jeff. Pretty Pine lumber.

You may need to get yourself one of those forest mulchers. That way you can cut some trails so you can work.

Nice

You either need a forestry mulcher or mules, and the mules can pull trees out to the sawmill if your LULL goes down or blows a hose 😂
👍👍👍👍
Great seeing a new video. Hope you and Hannah are doing well.
👍❤️👏💪🙏🏼👍
👍
please do a vid on blade sharpening
RRR SHARPENING

Can sharpen carbide bands if I remember correctly Mr. Jeff. 'Precaite ya'll

No need to. Pines seed and spread naturally.
