Thanks!

You make your kids watch this stuff ? You're a monster.

me too

A great idea. Currently, my channel also has videos about this job. You can refer to them

Same here!🌈

Same, but with cut logs on a trailer-hitched splitter. I was only around a skidder once when young, and man this all looks so peaceful and relaxing, even if it is literally physical labor. It's the good kind, for sure. Total art.

Which saw mill did you get?

@@gcolovich3393 It’s been a while but I think is LT 450

🤩

Definitely looking forward to fall! Thanks for watching, Craig.

I run the mill head down and back once after I oil to let those felt pads soak in some of the oil. It's ATF so it really doesn't make a huge mess. Plain motor oil probably would make a mess. Always appreciate your comments, Mac!

You know they make this stuff called grease that lubricates and lasts alot longer dont you? Lol

Thank you!

What do u do with ur bark slabs?

@@garywilliams7734 I'm guessing firewood, once the piles dried come early autumn, just whack em with a chainsaw to length and stack for winter.

That's pretty close to what we're getting actually. Rough! Looking forward to fall.

It seems to me that the bark comes off very easily, which mean they have been dry for quite some time. But im not an expert

It depends on the thickness. To avoid warping you nail them to the wall.

F to

I do this - I'll cut a chunk off the top, but then make 1" thick boards with live edges - I can put a bunch on and rip them into stickers later if I need to - and if I want to give them away it's easy!

It was super nice for sure. I just sent you an email.

@@falllineridge Wes, I got you're email , so I'll be waiting to hear from you. A few days ago I saw a FED EX Freight tractor trailer in my neighborhood, so you might want check rates with them, in addition to the O D.

Sorry about that! Thanks for watching as always.

When you see the lumber being cut, it is satisfying. What you don't see in these videos is all the other work that is required to get to that moment. Getting the logs to the mill is a big job if you do it yourself, or a big expense if you buy them. Stacking and storing the lumber takes time and space as well as dealing with the sawdust and slash wood. If you expect a profit, the lumber needs to be sold and that eats up your time. A loader like you see here costs a fortune but without it there's a ton of grunt work. When you figure in maintenance, especially on older equipment, blades, gas for 3 engines and your time, you work like a dog for barely minimum wage. There's more money in making videos about sawing than there is in sawing itself. I guess that's why so many people make them.

Repent to Jesus Christ! ““There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ F

I believe a dry lube would be better than oil.

It’s for the roller wheels on the saw

The wheel bearings are sealed no lube needed. They should have a sweeper that pushes debris off the track as well. That oil did nothing

Rust prevention paint wore off from wheels

Because obviously he hadn’t thought of all the angles regarding lumber milling like UKposts experts 🙄

I worked at a sawmill for years and we had mountains of sawdust and never had a fire.
