I know having siblings it is always trying rival one another but as I've gotten older I appreciate my siblings more and more just for the companionship and how we love to help each other and its so awesome your sister is just a powerhouse in lending a hand in getting it done! Big kudos the your sis!! You guys amaze me on how hard effort REALLY pays off!!
Pour a slab anyways and make the slab big enough for a workshop with a side pad for the wood mill. Don,t trust a Harbor Freight tape measure. The one I had iI memory serve me right was off 3/8 of an in. in 8'. I switched to name brand tape measures after that, like a Stanly.
Between January 2014 and March 2016 we took 1000+/- trees down on 15 aces. In Jose Basin, Shaver Lake CA area. The entire Sierra range is devoured in 3 years. Stunning. Got a 36 inch woodmiser and milled it up. Lots of 1×12. Sometimes the blue ran 4" thick for 20 feet. 70 cents a board foot.
Jessie, I have now been watching this video for 8 minutes and all you have done is tell everyone what you have been doing, I know that some of your viewers will be new but it is starting to get a bit minotaurs listening to it all every video. Please if you do need to tell the story put a note on or something so the viewers who have been with you from the beginning don't have to listen to it all over and over. If you said at the beginning to go to a time on the video a lot of people would appreciate that and enjoy your videos as we used to.
I really enjoyed this video. I know there's probably always going to be someone who's not satisfied, but all I see is project after project being knocked out and great deal of productivity. Wonderful!
Mill the logs and trade three or four for one for framing lumber. I like doing things for myself also, but you could get more return for your effort and know this great looking lumber will be seen and enjoyed by the world.
Jessie, here is a thought for redemption for that beautiful lumber; Make your long, oval dining room table out of 6 to 10 of these boards! One half 6 inch and the other half 8 inch boards.
You’re right that is some absolutely beautiful wood. Hopefully in time you’ll end up with some more of it and can turn some of into a nice storage cabinet for some of the things you make from the garden, or maybe just to hold the cooking tools and supplies so they are not sitting out in the garage. Wither way, you’ve done a lot of work taking advantage of the materials on your property and it’s another step forward to finishing the house. Nice work to all of the team members.
It hurts my heart to see that wood used for studs. I know "the cow is already out of the barn" on this a long time ago but I would have milled boards and sold them then bought 3 of 4 times the amount of structural lumber with the $ you'd get for that wood. or that would be my cabinet doors and face frame.
That wood is lovely and you will have the peace of mind knowing you have it in your walls and it is of great quality. I heard that pine can steal the O2 from the garden if used exclusively as wood chips. You might want to look into that. I have no personal experience though.
Always check your scale calibration during EVERY setup. The solenoid issue is caused by the ethanol in the fuel. I have the same issue with my v twin John Deere with the solenoid shut off.
Great video. Seems like you could have milled and sold that beautiful wood and used the money to buy 3 times the amount of studs you got from the wood you milled. It is great looking stuff!
It does suprise me y'all aren't selling that expensive blue pine and framing with bought cheap lumber...but hey you are going to have one nice self-built custom house when you're done. Keep at it and thanks for letting us tag along.
@@NeilAbalone That's true.... but there are lots of people who spend big money for furniture and other products made from that blue pine. Having been in custom construction for over 30years, I can't tell you how much time and effort I've spent sourcing wood like that for clients.
You can always take pictures of the stud walls before you put the sheetrock on, then hang THEM on the wall, so people can see what's inside...and slap you!
That is absolute sacrilege to hide that beautiful blue pine in a stud wall, come on Jesse, use ya brain, either keep the blue pine for a future project, or sell it and buy timber appropriate for stud wall's..
Maybe save this beautiful blue pine for your deck around the house... Structure or decking, it will be more visible than an enclosed interior wall... Just a thought... I love everything you guys share! Keep it up!
I've never had much luck with loaning out equipment. It's not that people out and out abuse it, it's just that they don't know the equipment the same as you do and they don't have the investment you have or the same pride of ownership. If something goes sideways they can't deal with it the way you would. Then you go to use it yourself and it either doesn't work or needs repair.
Hah! My thoughts exactly. Doesn't matter if it wasn't on purpose but if they don't learn it and take care of it as if it was their own then they aren't borrowing it from me. :)
I was thinking the same thing. Somebody could have moved the scale and made other adjustments they thought were necessary, since they didn't have certain knowledge of how to operate the mill correctly. I can see Jesse not wanting to call out someone who had borrowed the saw.
@@fredericrike5974 That was my first thought, this post was sort of a joke, but my first thought was pour a big slab for a small barn to put all that equipment in out of the weather. But wasn't sure if it might block the sunlight to the garden.
Jesse, have you considered re-planting trees on your property. Check with the county agriculture commissioner to see what is available in your area. You may be able to get foot tall planting starters, or possibly taller potted trees. Jon
That live edge material would be great for making chairs and other useful things around the yard. I'm sure you'll get more scraps later while milling in the future.
lol i here you buddy , but most of are wood hoarders we dont throw any wood away so you have forgive some of them , so yes if we spend 30.00 on ply wood we are going use all of it in many projects , so i here and for you guys giving him a hard about this relax he does what can so what needs , i have saw mill close to me and i love lol
hey man send me a, 3 piece slab, totalling 16x13x 1 7/8, of that beautiful wood, and Ill make ya'll a beautiful wall hanger electric guitar, "just for decor" as a thank you for yall sharing yalls life, on here, and to assuage your anguish for using such pretty cuts in framing, lol
hey I work for an eastern white pine sawmill in NH. I am a certified lumber grader for the last 12 years. we make edge bead, v-groove, and smooth 4 sides. when we find those blue stained boards, we feed them to our grinder, no one wants them because they consider them stained....
Just a small question, in some of your past videos when using the saw mill you used that little hand crank to help the saw move as it was cutting, but in this video your not using that little crank, your pushing the saw, so what happened ???
I am from NH too and have had a portable mill such as yours come 4 times to make structural lumber & boards from white pine. Blue stained boards would be considered undesirable. It is interesting that they are prized in your area. What will you use the 2x6's for? If you're cutting for interior stud walls, wouldn't you want 2x4's instead? I know you mentioned a false floor for the loft. Maybe they are for that?
i think (hope) they are cutting for 2x6 interior walls for plumbing to fit inside of it and will saw some 2x4 later for the rest of the framing. I see 2x6 for plumbing some and see it when they want extra room for insulation but their sips should negate this theory.
It fills my HEART to see brother and sister working together.... Ana your a blessing to help
I know having siblings it is always trying rival one another but as I've gotten older I appreciate my siblings more and more just for the companionship and how we love to help each other and its so awesome your sister is just a powerhouse in lending a hand in getting it done! Big kudos the your sis!! You guys amaze me on how hard effort REALLY pays off!!
I used bluewood for the back side of our island and the Fireplace mantel. Also made a barn door for the pantry. It's all beautiful
I have a log house and have used lots of blue stain wood as trim and different things, it works very well in that role. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see the mill in action again. That blue pine would make awesome cabinet fronts. 👍
Pour a slab anyways and make the slab big enough for a workshop with a side pad for the wood mill. Don,t trust a Harbor Freight tape measure. The one I had iI memory serve me right was off 3/8 of an in. in 8'. I switched to name brand tape measures after that, like a Stanly.
I follow you since the beginning, love your work. But right now, to much time spent explaining previous videos.... in my opinion .
Gorgeous wood for sure! 👍🏼

You guys are doing Great Jessie! Keep up the great work. I love watching.
And I’d be happy just for a piece of the scrap big enough for carving some spoons. I’m sure they wood be beautiful. They are pretty.
If the blue pine is so desirable, why not just sell it & buy some 2x8:s ?
Because the wood in the house would not be from their property and sawmill
9:15 they start using the sawmill
That is some really beautiful lumber.

Wind bag
YES!
You would get more done if you saved the dribble to the end of the day
Once again you guys rock. That is some beautiful lumber. It's a shame that it will be hidden from sight thought. 👍👍🌹⚘
Dude you're breaking my heart they would make amazing cabinet panels. 😂🤣😿😹 but the tiger understands you use what you got...👍👌
I really enjoyed this video. I know there's probably always going to be someone who's not satisfied, but all I see is project after project being knocked out and great deal of productivity. Wonderful!
It is great watching things move along step by step!
I would do something with that Blue Pine instead of walls, heck they would look better as a floor somewhere instead of behind some drywall.
you have the makings of a fantastic dining room table in those boards. Should be a breeze with that ShopSmith.
Make the high value timber and sell them and buy cheaper wall studs and make a profit, considering they will never be seen again.
Mill the logs and trade three or four for one for framing lumber. I like doing things for myself also, but you could get more return for your effort and know this great looking lumber will be seen and enjoyed by the world.

Sell it for big bucks then buy studs!
You should have used some of that wood for you cabinet doors. It would have been so pretty.
Definitely sell the boards and buy stud lumber, or trade and use the remainder of these for something visible.
Wood prison for sure! That is some gorgeous wood!
How about selling these boards to a cabinet maker on E-Bay? Then using plain timbers for interior work?
I think that lumber would make beautiful flooring for your loft.
Pine is too soft for flooring
It hurts my heart to see that wood used for studs. I know "the cow is already out of the barn" on this a long time ago but I would have milled boards and sold them then bought 3 of 4 times the amount of structural lumber with the $ you'd get for that wood. or that would be my cabinet doors and face frame.
guess I dont get it. in colorado you cant give that stuff away. the whole the forest is killed.
Beautiful lumber, thank you for sharing
In case it hasn't been mentioned, spay the tools/saw blades WD40 or some other spray that will disperse the water. I'm just making an observation.
Make two bookmatched off cuts into a quick sofa table to memorialize your buried wall studs
bet you'll could make a beautiful accent wall with that lumber.
Yay! Sawmill's back!
they coulda sold the blue wood they milled and bought regular pine and kept a little profit , maybe ? Thats beautiful blue pine !
Looks like cabinet styles and drawer fronts to me.
Beautiful wood.
Your house, your rules!
Use the scrap pieces for the cabinet faces for the cabinet you’re making that would look really nice
So happy your on here everyday!
If the wood is so sought after wouldn't it make sense to sell it and not hide it behind drywall?
That wood is lovely and you will have the peace of mind knowing you have it in your walls and it is of great quality.
I heard that pine can steal the O2 from the garden if used exclusively as wood chips. You might want to look into that. I have no personal experience though.
The blue pine would make some beautiful cabinet faces. 😉
Please save some of those boards for a trestle table! I made one out of spalted maple, turned out beautiful!
Yet another great video! Been watching your video’s for a long time now. Always something interesting going on! Keep up the great work!
How about pouring a slab for the sawmill that doubles as a shuffleboard court?
Why not try to sell it and use the money to buy cheap stick lumber?
Always check your scale calibration during EVERY setup. The solenoid issue is caused by the ethanol in the fuel. I have the same issue with my v twin John Deere with the solenoid shut off.
Those would make beautiful accent walls around a fireplace
Great video. Seems like you could have milled and sold that beautiful wood and used the money to buy 3 times the amount of studs you got from the wood you milled. It is great looking stuff!
Was just thinking the same thing
Think I'm gonna send you guys a round tuit. So you can finally say you finally got a round tuit. Lol.
I'll Take a piece of cutting board out of it lol ...they are pretty
It does suprise me y'all aren't selling that expensive blue pine and framing with bought cheap lumber...but hey you are going to have one nice self-built custom house when you're done. Keep at it and thanks for letting us tag along.

That wood you’ and sister cut it’s Some very beautiful what you got there
THAT SHIRT CRACKS ME UP ! lol
The cost of lumber these days, you guys saved a bunch.
Maybe save this beautiful blue pine for your deck around the house... Structure or decking, it will be more visible than an enclosed interior wall... Just a thought... I love everything you guys share! Keep it up!
I’d be careful using it outside unless it is waterproofed or treated in some way. It would look nice but might not stand up to the elements
great vid! Love what you're doing!
That wood would look so cool as the face for all your cabinets doors, drawers and face frames

Jessie,
The problems with the saw mill might be because of the care it did not receive when it was loaned out.
Hah! My thoughts exactly. Doesn't matter if it wasn't on purpose but if they don't learn it and take care of it as if it was their own then they aren't borrowing it from me. :)
I was thinking the same thing. Somebody could have moved the scale and made other adjustments they thought were necessary, since they didn't have certain knowledge of how to operate the mill correctly. I can see Jesse not wanting to call out someone who had borrowed the saw.
Hey, why not sell the blue pine to funiture makers? Use the standing dead trees for your walls!
Earl Rumble that’s what I was thinking
Could you use them for timber flooring? I have lived in a number of houses and timber flooring is the best. Easy to clean up. And looks awesome.
Those are some really nice lumber
Are dead trees still solid and strong? Do the beatles ruin the wood with lots of holes? I'm asking because I don't no.
What about ship lap , accent wall somewhere instead of sheetrock ?
Pour the concrete, you can always turn it into a shuffleboard court. lol
Or make so wide there's room for a shed.
@@yvindascanius6061 He's getting in the way of needing a machinery shed- for sure!FR

hey hey Skidmark!! :)
nooooooooo don't chip up your off cut stuff save it plane it and use it for window and door trim and boxing in
Beautiful wood
That wood would make a beautiful kitchen table

To keep the fuel injection running well use ethanol free gas. I use Shell V90 premium fuel and that works well.
Definitely Right On. I also pour a can of SeaFoam in the tank periodically. Keeps everything clean.
Marathon stations around here often have ethanol free gas.
hey man send me a, 3 piece slab, totalling 16x13x 1 7/8, of that beautiful wood, and Ill make ya'll a beautiful wall hanger electric guitar, "just for decor" as a thank you for yall sharing yalls life, on here, and to assuage your anguish for using such pretty cuts in framing, lol
I wanna see tbis

Use the protectant spray you used on the Shopsmith on your tools that you use outside. It really helps prevent rust.
Pray the rust away!
Jesse maybe you should build a shed or garage to park your equipment in to the snow off of them
LOL , i think the house is priority. They will build a big shed one day but house first, as they have said a few dozen times
Pretty cool that your sister can help and gives you two something to bond over.
I am from NH too and have had a portable mill such as yours come 4 times to make structural lumber & boards from white pine. Blue stained boards would be considered undesirable.

can't you trade it for more suitable for framing material !! come on people!
Sell the blue pine boards and use the money to buy more appropriate building lumber !
Amazingly beautiful. Gatta use what u got. But as a woman I'd be screaming for a small shelf to remember it all by.
you might want to stack them all on the same stack, the weight of the logs above limit twisting and warping caused by the drying.
Sick, that wood
Ahhh the man glitter applicator is back!
It is all fun and games until "life" gets in the way. :)
I would have turned it in to a table with that blue wow
I just heard that Matt Cramona has hired a hit man! lol!
How thick do you need your stud walls to be or are you going to cut them down to 4 inch on the table saw ?
I hope they will not waste (have not wasted) interior space with 2x6 walls that are non-load bearing. THAT would be a waste.
i think (hope) they are cutting for 2x6 interior walls for plumbing to fit inside of it and will saw some 2x4 later for the rest of the framing. I see 2x6 for plumbing some and see it when they want extra room for insulation but their sips should negate this theory.
@@warrenmichael918 There won't be any plumbing in the SIPs
Hey skid nice video
Do you have the BEST sister in the world or what????
