Absolutely love your philosophy about sharing with your neighbor who has been so helpful. Imagine what he would have paid for all that lumber. Instead, he helps you, you help him, he learns a skill, you learn from a new set of eyes, etc. Good on ya!
Thanks for letting us know what it would cost to buy all that, WoW very cool and you never added in what it would cost for the firewood, so yes big big saving. keep up the great work.
Another great milling vid guys Thanks Now if you take all that sawdust and put it in your raised bed boxes and just leave it open to the weather, you'll have some great soil by the time you're ready to start gardening
The swadust is good for making pressed bricks to burn also the ground cover. Side thought is also all the compost toilets out there can use the swadust. But Man glitter is the best option. Glad you had a good time!!
Have Alissa use all that sawdust in the garden for biomass, it’ll decompose fairly fast for some really rich soil and it’ll give you some more room at the bandsaw.
Now if the rest of the world could follow your lead on being good to our fellow human beings . . . Good job guys, nice pile of wood! Justin helps PLfL, PLfL helps Justin = BRILLIANT!!!!
I've said it before, I sell plastics and play guitar professionally. I would never do this stuff, but I am addicted to your videos. I have watched every single one. The one of the raising of the timber wall... 4x
I used thick slabs for picnic table seats,, stair treads,, canoe paddles, window boxes,, table legs birdhouses & feeders,, money grows on trees!!Some people hang a 5 gallon bucket catch the sawdust dump it in barrows or bins for easy moving,, It's great for bedding,, egg boxes, dog houses.. slick off the bark & square the edges & you have beautiful log siding.. usually get a week outta a blade with clean logs,, & 100 cords of pulp with a sharp chainsaw.. Aloha PPPSSSSS,, AFTER watching without cooking & phone calls,,, your hot tub lumber will!!!,,,,, GUESSING,,,, build 10 Adirondack chairs,, At 150 bucks each is more$$$$$ than all your lumber on the trailer a days work..
I'm a little sceptical of your math in trying to compute the "worth" of what you milled. Does that account for S4S lumber as you would find in a big box? Do you account for the Kiln drying cost? Did you also subtract the costs of the logs that you purchased too? The whole idea of computing the cost is not that important to me since the returns are not that great, but this channel is about the journey in building this house out for less and doing it yourself. I love the woodmizer stuff, since it's all about you getting material you'll eventually use in your home.
Just like every other "Homesteader" the first thing they build is a chicken coup! for their two chickens, then a year later they build a fence for who knows what...then its a pallet what ever! just getting my digs in at my "homies" ....But ya I would like to see his project also....
12:50....you cut my freakin' LEGS off!!! What is this, Monty Python and the Holy Grail???? Good stuff, you guys....and your editing gets better and better and more fun all the time!! Keep up the good work!!
So many negative comments on UA-cam and on FB page about too many wood milling video. Watching videos is not compulsory!!! You watch what you want, what you think you will like. I watch everything because I have found many times that I learn something when I don't expect to or I end up liking something I don't expect to. Seems some people come on here just to look for stuff they can moan about. J & A keep them coming. Rally lookin forward to the SIPs videos.
When you counting how much money you save by doing the boards. You have to have in a count that the machines uses fuel, blades, and service to get a fair number. :)
A medium quality cordless lithium leaf blower might save you a lot of time sweeping sawdust of and you could blow it to a central location for pick up, like a large box, some might even have a vacuum feature. Bag it, press it into logs and burn it.
Did you ever calculate how many board feet you can cut between blade changes? Another few other things to consider would be how many blades do you need to keep on hand, downtime to change the blade and cost to sharpen the blades. While a circular saw blade might have a large "kerf", you might save more in costs and downtime.
Hello my name is Bill I watch your Channel all the time I see things that you do that you could do differently and if you are really definitely considering the off-grid living there are better ways out there to reduce your own electricity then solar and to where the electric company will actually pay you instead of you paying them that is when the wind is in such abundance that it is more reliable than solar power and with wind power turbine the electric company will put a special meter on your line that will monitor how much power your turbine will put back into their grid and pay you instead of you paying them
Great day of work! You keep forgetting to count the value of the firewood. You guys made a cord (or more) of it over the last 2 days easy. Should count towards your value earned. The woodburning water heater/floor heater will burn all your cuttings and you'll have earned yet more. Once you are done with drying in the house you should consider building a "company sized" hot tub. You could put a heater on each end. ;z)
You have been getting some beautiful lumber and timbers. Once you complete the house, you might want to consider setting the sawmill up on a slab and anchor it down. Use it to build a timber frame shop. Maybe even build the shop around it. A load of logs here and there and you could work from home the rest of your lives. It certainly wouldn't be a bad way to live.
You know that the receiver hitch portion of the "Claw" comes off right? I bought one after seeing yours to use with my sawmill. Removing the hitch section lightened the Claw by 5 or 10 pounds. Keep up the great work guys.
Remember to check the square regularly, when you use one out on the job they can get out by a degree or two by just setting it down and setting something else on its center.
I have 2 LT15's rentals and 2 LT35's....I've had several other mills, sold them. Woodmizer is local and offered the best deals....all my mills are trailered. Just like trucks people have their preference, they are all good sawmills.
I wonder if the tension you are experiencing causing the wood to bow is due to the fact that it is not green like it was when you milled the other lumber.
it looked like the one tooth on that blade in the opening, was ever so slightly bent. Maybe it was just the camera angle. Another Great Video!!! Too bad they do not put a bucket or a bag to catch the saw dust and then empty it into a bin or wheelbarrow when it is full. Then could use it in their garden and or to make homemade fire-logs or pellets for pellet stoves.
That spider looked like a Brown Recluse.. ??? I have a question for you did you guy's look into any other type of homes to build besides what your building ? I have been looking at some of the metal frame pole barns for a house, did you look at any of these. My wife and I bought 13 acres right on the North/South Carolina line and we want to build a home ourselves. I have looked at everything from a Modular home which I can't afford so that is out, we also have looked at log home kit's cant afford that either. So it's either a stick build pay as we go home or a metal frame pole barn 1800 square feet that we can buy not including electric or plumbing and be in the dry for 16,000 this is including the price of the concrete pad.
Can the blades from the sawmill be sharpened??? If not they could the makings of a sculpture or weird looking weather vein. Love to see you guys chainsaw a log into a totem pole. ❤️👍✌️ you guys could put the some of the fire wood near the road with a sign and an honest box for $$$ to pay for sawmill fuel.
well all that extra firewood could be donated to help someone with low income heat their house next winter. You might see if the county has a energy assistance office that would come get it from you, im just thinking of a way to get rid of the two piles so you have more room to work. Keep up the great video's cant wait to see the house get closed in, also some power soon.
Are you milling trees that just got cut down or trees that have been dead for a while? How much bigger do you mill a board to account for shrinkage? I have a lot of questions about milling my own wood and it seems like you guys have a pretty good handle on milling. Any advice you can give me or any books you read about milling would be great. Thank you for sharing your journey, you are an inspiration to people to get out and make their dreams come true. :)
Koality of Life I believe they have been mostly milling fresh cut that were live and healthy. But generally each tree will be different even if they were dead or semi dry. They all tend to have a personality. If you are wondering about stresses, movement etc... Most trees have some sort of internal stresses that show themselves as they dry. Wood flexes continuously as they are in use and aging in the structure as well.
trees that are dead for a while don't lose that much moisture, only from their ends a bit. If dimensional is important to you, then you will need to have it a bit thicker and then (kiln) dry it, and only after that plane it to dimension.
Click on their logo/photo just above to go to the channel home page. Then click on "Playlists". The first 2 playlists are about milling and timber-framing (They currently total almost 100.). Those logs were felled nearby in 2017 expressly for use in the framing of their house.
Absolutely love your philosophy about sharing with your neighbor who has been so helpful. Imagine what he would have paid for all that lumber. Instead, he helps you, you help him, he learns a skill, you learn from a new set of eyes, etc. Good on ya!
To have a great neighbor like Justin is all you can ask for. Great video, thanks for sharing
Wow...the camera angles were cool! Never thought you could get such creative shots of a sawmill!
Thanks for letting us know what it would cost to buy all that, WoW very cool and you never added in what it would cost for the firewood, so yes big big saving. keep up the great work.
Does Justin have a UA-cam channel? if he does not, he should start one. I wanna see his shop build.
You could always watch us instead ;) we did an awesome job on our old barn renovations!
The sawdust is great for COMPOSTING 😎
The music on this video installment is awesome. You guys edit very well, thank you for your effort.
Another great milling vid guys Thanks Now if you take all that sawdust and put it in your raised bed boxes and just leave it open to the weather, you'll have some great soil by the time you're ready to start gardening
I still watch your old videos keep up the good work
The swadust is good for making pressed bricks to burn also the ground cover. Side thought is also all the compost toilets out there can use the swadust.

Yeah Another beautiful video on a beautiful day. Amazing . Thanks to you love birds ♥ :)
Would be nice if you could show us what Justin is building with that lumber
Really good choice of music at the end there.
Great video and great editing. Husqvarna and Dodge Hemi are fine by me. Great channel.
I've said it before, I sell plastics and play guitar professionally. I would never do this stuff, but I am addicted to your videos. I have watched every single one. The one of the raising of the timber wall... 4x
thank you Alyssa for giving every one a big hug

What do you do with the woodmizer blades once they become blunt? Do get them sharpened, to be reused once again, or do you have to trash them?
I'm a little sceptical of your math in trying to compute the "worth" of what you milled. Does that account for S4S lumber as you would find in a big box? Do you account for the Kiln drying cost? Did you also subtract the costs of the logs that you purchased too?

Let it go buds...let it go.
Hey Jess,
Breakout that fancy shmancy laser and use it to center - level your logs.
Hey Jesse, you and your buddy are blowing my mind with that LT 15!!👍👍👍😎🇨🇱 teamwork makes the dream work!!i🤑
My 55Rancher is 28 yrs old and fires up on first try, even after a long winter's break.
Please vist Justin at his construction site. We like to see what he builds with the lumber
Just like every other "Homesteader" the first thing they build is a chicken coup! for their two chickens, then a year later they build a fence for who knows what...then its a pallet what ever! just getting my digs in at my "homies" ....But ya I would like to see his project also....
12:50....you cut my freakin' LEGS off!!! What is this, Monty Python and the Holy Grail???? Good stuff, you guys....and your editing gets better and better and more fun all the time!! Keep up the good work!!
I think you guys enjoyed that saw milling today. 👍

Cemlyn Jones I like the wood mill videos. He passes on a lot of great knowledge
The way he pronounce "Husqvarna" was hilarious. Not even close.
Thanks to spell check, you almost write like a genius.....
When you counting how much money you save by doing the boards. You have to have in a count that the machines uses fuel, blades, and service to get a fair number. :)
....Do you not think he knows this! you forgot to add in coffee, pencil lead, wear on clothes, hand soap, washing dishes, etc...
very good job!
Another solid team work day on the mill, well done guys.
atb t ..
Just put that sawdust in your garden spot and till it in it will hold moisture and provide nutrition to the soil.
dont please dont mix it it will take all of the nitrogen in soil to decompose it you better leave it on the top without mixing
A medium quality cordless lithium leaf blower might save you a lot of time sweeping sawdust of and you could blow it to a central location for pick up, like a large box, some might even have a vacuum feature. Bag it, press it into logs and burn it.
They have a large one.....
great job!
Can you give an idea of what the mill charged to kiln dry your lumber?
you can turn the saw dust in fire wood bricks if you add some news paper in a bucked with water
Did you ever calculate how many board feet you can cut between blade changes? Another few other things to consider would be how many blades do you need to keep on hand, downtime to change the blade and cost to sharpen the blades. While a circular saw blade might have a large "kerf", you might save more in costs and downtime.
One solid winter of hot tubbing , heating your house , and any out building you decide that will not seem a very big pile of fire wood.

How about showing us a video of Justin's woodshop once it's done? It'd be nice to see what he did with all that lumber.
Proud of u 2 keep ur spirits up
Good videos 😘
Your music from the 10 or so most recent vids has been top notch! Great videos!!!!
Great day of work! You keep forgetting to count the value of the firewood. You guys made a cord (or more) of it over the last 2 days easy. Should count towards your value earned.
The woodburning water heater/floor heater will burn all your cuttings and you'll have earned yet more.

Are you going to have that stack of saw bands sharpened? What was your cost on the logs? Good output, guys.
I don't sharpen mine, I sell them back to my dealer and he sells them as seconds. I mill with only new blades.
You have been getting some beautiful lumber and timbers. Once you complete the house, you might want to consider setting the sawmill up on a slab and anchor it down.

You know that the receiver hitch portion of the "Claw" comes off right? I bought one after seeing yours to use with my sawmill. Removing the hitch section lightened the Claw by 5 or 10 pounds. Keep up the great work guys.
That was mentioned 50 videos ago....
And there is Brown nose Zed
DODGE # 1 !!! GREAT WORK GUYS!
Remember to check the square regularly, when you use one out on the job they can get out by a degree or two by just setting it down and setting something else on its center.
Woodmizer , is this , from your experience , would you refer this mill ?
I have 2 LT15's rentals and 2 LT35's....I've had several other mills, sold them. Woodmizer is local and offered the best deals....all my mills are trailered. Just like trucks people have their preference, they are all good sawmills.
Wow you are so behind with these vids to the pics you show on Facebook...
l love your videos
and you
What do you do with the saw dust?
Quick question for anyone, How much bigger do you cut the wood so it will dry to the right sizes?
Yet another great load of boards off you mill. Cannot have many logs left to cut.
Maybe that’s why some lumber mills soak timber before cutting it!
Great video!
Another awesome day for everyone. Keep it up.
You will do it! Thanks for sharing.
was just looking for a new vid!
Are you still going to build OUT BUILDINGS ? I've been watching you guys sense you first started and I enjoy every single video ~ Take care
I wonder if the tension you are experiencing causing the wood to bow is due to the fact that it is not green like it was when you milled the other lumber.
You should use the non-firewood/non-lumber off-cuts for a hügelkultur garden bed. I hope you have a similar use for the sawdust in mind.
Now that most of the milling is done you should get a Milwaukee leaf blower for your batteries to blow off the mill every time
you should make blocks with the sawdust and burn them
Almost RATM at 12:30 for the win!!!
❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️Amazing!! beautiful video❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Ford over a Dodge --- Blasphemy!Great work on the sawmill. Your getting more expert every day.
Dolly Parton would be impressed by your firewood twin peaks.
Why is the square tube mount still attached to the grapple?
Because!
it looked like the one tooth on that blade in the opening, was ever so slightly bent. Maybe it was just the camera angle. Another Great Video!!!
Too bad they do not put a bucket or a bag to catch the saw dust and then empty it into a bin or wheelbarrow when it is full. Then could use it in their garden and or to make homemade fire-logs or pellets for pellet stoves.
Good music!
Did I see a stack of cement blocks and if so what are they for?
The bromance continue... :)
Good going, gentlemen. 👏👏
It's not called a rock Miser for a reason.
Love seeing the Wood Mizer up close and personal. Cool video
love the music on this video !
What’s the cost on a band saw blade
Do you have a local place that can repair and resharpen saw mill blades ?
Trail over-loaded?
In Germany there is a saying, you leave with ford and return by train. "Mim Ford fot un midde bah haam."
there is an app called zillow ptt its a app that does what your radio does
MASSIVE BONDFIRE!
justin 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😉
12:47 then the blade jumps
Gotta wonder how often those oil changes come on these machines
Just Google the manual...

Love the music
you produced $1000 - logs - fuel - blades - depreciation on the mill - whatever... but still a good day
Let it go Zippy...

Wait....what? No mention of the recipe for the cake pops?! Keep up the great videos!
I'm a mountain Dew an coke,Dr Pepper, Pepsi it doesn't matter just long as the soda is cold
As long as the caffeine is there.
Jesse, that waste - sawdust that is great for your garden . Put it around the top of plants and you won’t have to water as much.
brilliant
