Jay, as an old small engine mechanic I would recommend that you never leave ANY gas in tanks. Gasoline today is junk and it WILL go bad in six months or less. Best to drain tanks and run engine dry of any fuel.

That Maple would have cost a pretty penny if you had to buy it. Those machines really pay for themselves quickly. Maybe when you're batting down the hatches for Winter you can some put Vick's vapor rub, Ben Gay or the like on cotton balls or wadding in those compartments as well as closing entries with steel wool if that's possible. Keep those mice out, I have no tolerance for mice! Glad to see Spring is coming to your neck of the woods. Stay safe and GOD bless

What Joy and RELIEF when the sawmill started up !!!! You've no idea how much those of us without your experience appreciate observing the skills necessary to undertake all the projects you do. I have immense gratitude for content providers, such as you - Jay+Jen, who document the processes involved in building anything and everything. Here's to railings and rhubarb pies! -V

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and Jen and working on the homestead and building your loft and milling wood

Pesky mice, glad they didn’t do too much damage to your sawmill Jay, and the wood you milled looks beautiful too, it’s going to look amazing when it’s done, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

Love the lumber. Definitely the planner was a great investment. ❤

So glad you got you sawmill going. The maple lumber for the railing was so pretty.

Awesome that you can mill your own wood on the property & happy to see that you were able to get it running the boards are beautiful yup the planner was definitely a great gift Jen . Love the live edge All the best folks take care see ya on the next one.

Jay, if you get a stationary feed roller stand (Home Depot sells them) you can adjust it to your planer outfeed table height and take out the wobble your having where it digs into the wood. Planed surface will be smooth the entire way thru start to finish. I have two one for indeed and one for outfeed. They have live rollers mounted to a height adjustable stand.

Hello Jay and Jen.. Beautiful boards and as long as you can shut down the motor, don't worry about the sensor. Add it to the I'll get to it list..

I think that upper railing is going to be beautiful!!!

I want a saw mill bad! So satisfying milling your own lumber! The railing will look great, I'm sure. Sorry I missed your last live!

Non ethanol !! gas is a must , and stabil or prig additive if you over winter any gas, it really helps...

Another great video and you made some really beautiful boards,they will make a great railing!

I know your ralling will be unique and beautiful !

Great video. Good job getting the mill fixed.

Boards look good!! We just came across A Different Kind of Quiet. J & C

Started watching this the other day and then our internet went bye bye at the camp. Anyway, looking good as usual guys! Always look forward to your videos! 😁

Beautiful wood !

God Bless Jay and Jen🙏🏻 Appreciate you

Hello friends. You made great boards. Our weather is similar. Best wishes you from Lithuania. 👍❤

Wavy because the bottom side is not flat. Think alternating sides with a smaller cut might help.😊

Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff you 2

Try putting moth balls inside your shield, around your air filter. That will keep the mise out of your sawmill next fall

Beautiful wood

Good job.👍👍👏👏

A bit of bypassing and some starting fluid you got it going. Be safe and its always a pleasure to view guys.

looking forward to the end result

I got 3 hight adjustable roller stands from Harbor Freight for cheap and they work great for planning wood. I use a straight 2x4 and lower the planner down on the end of the 2x4 so it flat on the bottom plate, the adjust stands to the bottom of 2x4 you'll get way less thickness wavy boards at the end of boards. Love watching. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jay and Jen! 😃😃😃

God work sir.! Every maskin shuld be take care off. With a lite bitt clean upp, service 😊 nice to se you 2 agin..😊😊

Beautiful! You encourage me..we ordered a sawmill 5 weeks ago.. Looking into a planer..I think we can make a little money on the side

Great video guys :) Some really nice boards i think it will look awesome" A little done is better than none! Mice don't help when they find their way in ! Find some moth balls to put under the tarp in the fall people say it keeps them away, & don't forget to clean the sawdust out when your done :)

Nice video.

My older brother loved strawberry rhubarb pie,,,,Great videos.

😂 We've are hitting the 90° s here in Arizona. My birthday is April 30 ill be 60 and ill be laying in my pool. 😂❤ I miss Michigan in the spring. ❤

Suggestion. I can't remember the name but it's one of those "essential" oils. Put some of it on your filter to keep mice from wanting in to make a home. I's say a bottle with a cotton ball wick could be used inside your blade box too. So many things you can cut for, project wise, Sure makes me wish I had one. I'd be building so many things LOL. If you were to mill enough lumber, you could build you a shelter over the sawmill, and, build it big enough to store lumber too. That way you could get it dry before using it, and not have to worry about shrinkage. Any of your video's that show you building something, anything... are my favorite video's! Oh and also, your sugar shack extension I know has to kinda get in the way, there's something else you could build.! OK one more thing. A friend of mine who also owns a mill, built a shelter for his mill. He put a small solar set up to do two things. 1. To power some lights, so in the short daylight days, he can still mill, even once the sun went down(and also even if it's raining). and 2. He's put a small 12V winch over his mill to help lift logs on the mill, and also he runs the cable under a log, and back to the winch, and it turns the log for him. A little rigging, but he says it sure saves his back! Also, part of his buildings for his wood storage, he put a thick mill plastic over the top, and made shaker shingles to complete the roof. It looks awesome! One of the first things you see as you drive onto his property. (and you can't se the plastic unless you are under the structure and you are looking for it. Just some ideas, thought I'd share. Dang it, thought of something else. He has a "pole" barn kinda like yours. He bought a big cheap woodstove for it. He uses a lot of his cut off slabs to use in the stove. He said with the slabs being thin, the heat up fast, and heats up hot, but don't burn for very long once he quits feeding it and leaves his barn.

Most of that in with blade is saw dust from not cleaning it out

& the one goes in the block is low oil shut off

Do you know the voltage on the sensors? Let's test them.😊 Might help to put a thin flat board under it until it's flat on top, then turn it over. 😊

CHEERS GOOD VID

Try this next time: To roll a log, lay a rope, or two, under it, depending on length and weight, stretched to where you want it to go. Then, wrap the end(s) that are under the log over it and pull them toward where you want the log to go. Let me know if you like it. ❤😊

Wished there was a way you could keep mice, other varmits from getting in your motors?! You had it covered, evidently, they found way in build nest?! ❤

They turned out super nice!!!!! How are the blueberry bushes doing? Did they survive the winter?

RatX Pellets safe for humans, pets and wildlife. Five star ⭐ rated.😊

Jay, can you lay 2 or 3 big logs along the sawmill before winter and cover them over? Would they be dry enough in the spring? Maybe too heavy?😍🇨🇦

Not being rude but i agree with david. Also, a little cleaning and maintenance would let the mill last alot longer. Still love what your doing.

Maybe you should of had closer to your house or make something to protect it from animals thank. You for sharing I really appreciate it ❤❤❤❤

why you not put a bucket on your sawmill to get saw dust easy then no mess

Ive heard mice dont like peppermint, or moth balls, and Ive heard dryer sheets

Jay, please stop handling those heavy logs the way you do... you have a tractor with a loader, use it... You screw up your back it hurts for a long time.. Ask me how I know.. Keep up the good work. Love the videos..

Hey Jen, be very careful with the Rhubarb... it's VERY VERY poisonous to the dogs...

👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Where in the u.p are u guys at

How do I enter to win the free planer?

🖐😎👍

Your def ain’t four years old 😂

1 Peter 1:3 King James Version 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Gods blessings over you

Apparently you are 4 years old because you started it with the door open lol

3rd. lol

Wow Jay… you made it sound like a chore to be filming/editing and not getting much done …. I didn’t appreciate that as one of your subscribers.. you should be more grateful that you live what seems to be like a great life and I’ve enjoyed watching all your content but buck up man ….

No need to join a gym. You guys get plenty of exercise around the cabin!
