I' am sitting watching you climb on top of that rather large log and rocking it until you got some movement just to move it a foot!. You are a slight man but with the strength and fortitude of 2 men. Your nonstop energy inspires me to get out in my shop when I think I can't go any further. If you can do it, then any of us can.
I love how you read the log's outward signs of flames, quilting and spalting and afterwards you open up the log and we get to see what is inside. I learn so much from this. Thank you!
A skid steer with pallet forks would be a wonderful addition to your setup for log/lumber movement and even log procurement. In my opinion better than a forklift because they handle the uneven terrain much better. Great vids and channel. Many thanks for the content
You are a scholar and a gentleman and a teacher. Thank you for all three things. :)
Much appreciated :)
Marc watching this video I noticed that you stacked cuts one on top of the other. That's good but if someone was searching for a special pattern and you knew you had just what he needed, toward the bottom of the stack. I know you would move the stack to get to it for him to see. Think about this: if you take a picture of each slab and number them you could show him all you have and never move a slab. God Bless my friend.

What beautiful wood, I really like this one.
Something else struck me in this video - I think of the sawmills of the past, the size and noise of the machinery, the multiple guys needed to operate them etc. and I watch this and it's honestly a technological marvel seeing your sawmill effortlessly slab up this giant piece of maple. That motor is hugely powerful for its size!
A ten horse motor..watch the build videos they are great.
This was surprisingly thrilling. It's like breaking the lock on an old treasure chest, seeing what's inside, closing the lid and reopening it to have the contents changed.
Oh wooooow those slabs were beautiful! I'd love to make something out of that! I LOVE spalted wood! Soooo pretty
Every time you throw water on a new slab, I imagine what a nice table it would make. If I could purchase every slab I like, there wouldn't be enough conferences in Minnesota for all those conference tables.
Thanks for taking us along on a hard day's work.
Well done.
I love going through the logs as you cut them. Even the plainest can be beautiful after its cut.
This was so great. Love spalted wood , those last few were just so incredible!
Someone got it dirty. That is lovely. After the other, who would have thought? No splits. A different kind of beauty.
i love watching your slabbing videos
Thanks for including the blade folding and blade change. Very interesting.
Its amazing what awaits when you open up what to most is firewood or garbage. Those slabs are almost priceless and hold incredible value. Once in a finished product it will be worth thousands. Gives a whole new aspect to into this type of milling and wood recovery.
Another amazing log. WOW!
Very nice. Those spalt lines & color 😍. Plus that diagonal one at the end. 👍😍👍
That was a beautiful log and can't wait to see what you are going to make out of it.
Stunning! Absolutely beautiful slabs.
Another great video thank you Matt. That last plank the design ,and colors are something
I’ve never seen!! I have worked with wood my whole life. Never have I seen you’r type of
wood? well ,now I have to make a visit to Canada. I’am misssing the best of all woods!!
beautyful slabs there matt. lots of nice furniture coming. thanks for sharing and keep on happy milling.
thanks!
Great job Matt!..
Absolutely gorgeous slabs Matt. Enjoyed the video keep up the great work.
thanks!
That's some cool slabs Matt!!!
Awesome log Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next to those slabs, you're the coolest Matt.
hahahaha thanks Jeff!
your neighbours must love you ... with all that saw noise hahaha
Why is it....I can just keep watching these videos ? I wanna go out to the cord wood pile and cut some up. Great stuff.
Do it!!
I want that last one! So pretty....and yet, so far away. (plus that's probably a keeper)
Hahaha yeah I think I'm going to hold on to that one
That is a bandsaw to be proud of, especially since you built it. I was watching all the videos of construction, now on to a 4 wheeled gantry with an adjustable bed for moving the heavy slabs. Beautiful wood. Wood like that is quite expensive in Montana.
24:40 and 25:00 are definitely my favorites. Nice job Matt!
Wow‼️ a sensational log Matt 👊
thanks Ron!
"Kinda the same thing" and yet still exciting. Cool attitude!
Awesome log It never gets old
Some really cool looking slabs! 👍👊
you know it!
Geez man, this one had it all! Jump kicks, arty music montage clips, insect genocide, and a shrinking bandsaw!
Literally everything!
....and don't forget the colors and the color commentary!
Only thing it did not have, is a Y-shaped log.
It's really interesting looking at those big logs through your eyes. A logger sees big wormy soft maple very differently.
I'm happy taking your garbage :)
Ha! I wasn't being a wiseguy calling it wormy soft maple. Around the Lake Ontario plain, they farm everything that isn't swamp. So all of your woods up there grow silver maple that can tolerate saturated soil. But the carpenter ants get in them and perforate a good portion of the inside of the trunk. It isn't worms that make the tunnels, but the effect is that they appear to be made by worms. So loggers will call a silver maple job that grows in a swamp as "wormy soft maple". Whose market, as it turns out, is garbage.
"But the carpenter ants get in them and perforate a good portion of the inside of the trunk. "
A little (relatively) Epoxy can fix that.
Everyone loves log
Absolutely beautiful Matt! I wish I lived close...I be buying some of that!
Thanks!
Oh man that’s just awesome all the colors so cool. Take Care.
thanks Thom!
Looks just like a feather toward the end. COOL
Matt when you put all of your weight on that hook when rolling log and you are almost horizontal, if that hook broke away you would fall flat on your back. Be careful. I want you to keep making a lot more vids.
"It rolls pretty easily" - LOL
Damn that first slab!!!!! If only I was not living outside of the US, I would have to come and buy that one :)
The diagonal grains are crazy!!
Luthiers would gladly buy some of those spalted slabs.
22:35 that was a really really nice one. The figure around those knots did it. Liked the ones at 25-26 to striped shifting color.
that was an amazing log, to bad it was small. I really liked the outside pieces, it looked like gray flames. Each piece was different than the other. That will make some awesome furniture, would love to make something with them.
NOTE TO SELF: it's NOT about "LAZY" as much as an absolute RESPECT for the LAWS OF PHYSICS on this planet.
Something that just occurred to me. Do your neighbors ever worry you are going crazy? Just out there "talking to yourself" about how great the wood is and how much you love crotch?
On a more serious note, I loved the tunes in this one. Not too overpowering and well timed. Good job adding that in.
I'm sure they would be questioning my sanity if they didn't know what I did for living and also watch my videos lol Thanks Matt!
Brother you are more incredible than the wood
Nice. Keep the sawmill video coming
To be more specific (and hopefully more helpful); I enjoy how you walk us through the decision making of the cut with your interpretation of the log yield. I appreciate your humble demeanor as you tackle Herculean tasks. Thanks.
I've had size issues with my blades. I get a flat pack of 20. The inner blade is always tighter than the outer. I started ordering 1" longer. Cooks sawmill blade sales is awesome
They'd make some excellent & beautiful hallway table tops Matt, also it'd be cool to fill the ants nest with clear epoxy so hopefully you'd see trapped ants in the finished piece.... Maybe my warped humour but I think it'd be cool anyway 👍
Nice video Matt! Thanks for sharing.👍😎JP
thanks JP!
You're very welcome Matt! 😎
Beautiful lumber. Wish I could get my hands on stuff like that.
I'd love to get my hands on a piece of that!!
Nice stuff there Matt. I'd be happy to make you an automated blade lube system but I'm sure you could make it. Thanks for the video. Funny to me when you say your too lazy to do something. Lol that my friend you are not
I watched you build this awesome monster, I’m surprised you never put an automatic waterer/blade lube on it yet?
awesome job Matt:"really
thanks!
Hi! If you add a (half) ring to the end of your yellow moving poles, you could just click in a carbine hook (those things used for rock climbing and stuff) with a sand bucket (or whatever weight you wanna use) to hold it in place. No shady "hang the bucket over the grip"-business. :)
And can you not just add a small water pump (and a tank) that directly sprays a bit of water onto the blade every few turns? :)
Happy slaburday!
It's slaburday somewhere!
Thank you for the metric!
Those end slabs look like marble!
It's a bit plain but I like it, it's a nice change. Really liked the 4th board!
Some impressive slabs for straight grain
Nice Matt. I chainsaw mill, wish I could do a bandsaw where I am. Really appreciate your walk around on the wood and breaking it down as you go. Great info.👍
thanks!
You and I have different definitions of what "moving something relatively easily" means! :)
hahahahahaha you're probably right
About blades or saw being too big or small, don't discount the effect temperature has on a sawblade that length. Warming it up with a hot air gun (without it becoming too hot to touch of course) may make it expand enough to fit on the wheels. It's a long blade, so even a tiny expansion could do a lot over that length.
Good point. I'll mess with it in the future. If I can get it to slip on, it'll stretch a bit once it's under tension for a bit
You can increase the length 1/16" by raising it 42F assuming it's 200". If your saw was sitting out in the sun and the blade was in your garage that could easily be the issue.
If you try this please video it, I don't want to see you hurt but at the same time watching you try and thread a hot blade at speed before it cools might be entertaining!
It's 308". I don't think 3/32" is going to be enough though.
@@mcremona it'd make a killer bowsaw blade if it doesn't look like it'll ever go on.
It never gets old does it.
Handling those blades for a moment there it felt like you were going to get taken out like Kenny on an episode of South Park but you handled it well sir! 😳
not my first sawblade rodeo
Love the top one
If using Matts bandsaw mill was a video game that would be the music that would play during the game! Press L1 and R1 to splash log with water bucket....press X and Y to spray with Ant Killer! 😂
That middle piece after you flip the middle slab over looks like you would make it awesome desk.
Beautiful wood, salted maple is my favorite but nothing beats burls! Those would make a nice work bench top
I like salted maple too... it's delicious!
Beautiful wood. If you grunt it makes you stronger. A line I will use.
It's always like opening a treasure or work of art!
Those are some beautiful slabs. I'd pick some up from you but Minnesota is a long way from Southern California. 😉
That last board was my favorite
I like the black!
Never judge a book by the cover. 😉 Anyway, some of the blanks are perfect size for desk tops, small tables and sideboard tops.
Hey Matt, Great videos. I have had to binge watch ALL your videos. Have to say I love the water splash reveals on your log cutting videos. Amazing what mother nature has created inside each tree. Do you sell your slabs?
Looks like you could use a built-in oil dispenser where you can just push a button to dispense it. :)
someday I'll install it
Wow, I would love to have one of those slabs for a table top.
Interesting markings it looks like a brindle coated bulldog with a stripes
That would make some pretty Benches or Table tops.
Most coolerest!
Looks like zebra strips. Love it.
Watched some cutters taking down a huge oak tree and thought of you cutting it into slabs
man, I wish i had that machine. Envy
Whoa, whoa, whoa! A pallet? That's one step closer to getting a forklift!!!
crap! I'd better burn that thing!!
Quelle essence magnifique !
Matt, I’ve watch you cut and appreciate a lot of spalted wood but I haven’t seen you build anything with it. I understand it requires a respirator when sanding and some kind of stabilizing treatment before finishing. Sure would enjoy seeing a video from you on this subject. It is a beautiful anomaly in wood.

Here’s a couple videos where I work with spalted woods that require stabilizing
Thanks very much.
I don't know if you know, but Cook Saw has an automatic band saw sharpener. You put the blade in and turn it on and it will sharpen the blade by itself, You have to check on it every now and then, but you can be doing other things while it does it's thing.
This stuff would be perfect for bookmatching
Some sweet table tops there... or a whole lot of guitars.
I see a lot of epic guitar bodies there.
Ur random laughs crack me up
The grain of logs are the finger prints of God.
That's so cool
Since this one isn’t your preferred portion of the tree, please feel free to ship it East! We here at TDW3 would be glad to take it off your hands
