Thanks! I was struggling with this concept and now I get it! Cheers 🍻

Thank you George. appreciate your hard work. it will help me a lot

Hearing protectiong doesn't work like that fella. Also, if your colleague inserting the wedges stumbled when he was putting them in at the same time as you were cutting you'd be in a world of pain. Idiotic, despite all your planning hocus pocus diagrams

First time I've watched you. Very informative and interesting. Wonderful lessons. God Bless.

Gorge Thank you, videos never too long. I've been a carpenter my whole life and always respect the knowledge of the older wiser fellows. Now I am one, 64 and the young fellows come to me for advice. You are a inspiration to me and I appreciate how you explain all the details. I have a full woodshop and a Woodmizer LT15. Just retired and hoping to get more time on both. My wife teases me about my lumber yard as she calls it but is the first to keep anything I build and won't let me sell it...lol. Ps I love your supervisor... Thank you greatly again! Keep them coming! Frank Martin

Hi George. Just watched this video. Very informative, thank you! I make my bowl blanks the old way because I don't have a sawmill. Most of my wood blanks are derived from logs. Is there a sawmill for small logs or a better way than the old way to process blanks using logs? As I get older, processing heavy logs is getting tougher. Thanks for all your insight. -Skip

Learned alot , video was very informative

Howdy! When I growth up I want to be just like you. Happy birthday!

This was a very informative video, never thought about doing this my self. Where do you get the bowl blank templates? There are great

37 minute video that should have been 20 minutes max. You use too many & unnessesary words.

You’re right on you you explained it well

Get the good quarter sawn wood. Make the rest into fire wood.

Absolutely beautiful wood. Great job

You're a hard worker brother. I enjoy your videos remind me a lot of my pawpaw here was a logger and just all around hard working man

28:22 I dont understand how to achieve those cuts on a bandsaw mill

very well done George, thanks for you time and work in putting it together.👍👍👍👍

It looks like your method would also save a ton of edging.

Does that sawmill have double band wheels and blades

Great job. Thanks for the video

Good video thank you for the info

What a crappy commercial start!!

thumbs up thanks for sharing

Excellent information . Well done ! Thank You Sir

Awesome! my guy.

I run the wires to my truck batterys. I dont shut the truck off while Im using the winch. Never let me down .

Howdy, I really want to become a Sawyer, run my own mill. i’m already skilled at felling, have done woodwork for two decades. I just love trees, and what can be done with them. Thanks for posting this information. i’ll be studiously engaged in your videos. My problem is raising the capital for machines to get going. So far, i’ve just felled trees and hand split/sawn lumber. (yes, i really did because it was all i had). i built my scandinavian woodworking bench this way. it turned out spectacular! Keep teaching me and i’ll keep learning. thank ya’!

Y so thick 3inch - 2-5/8 !? 2 inch no good???

Not a wasteful dude. God bless!

Remarkable! This video taught me so much about sawmilling. It's fascinating to watch how you manage these giant pieces of wood. The video quality is top-notch. I'm eagerly anticipating more content from you. Keep producing such great content!

very clear.

A echo 4910 is great deal. It's 3.5hp as well. Look at the weight. A sharp chain. Muffler mod and remove the carb limiters and you have a heck of a saw for the money. It out cuts my stihl ms311 by a mile. The 590 is a similar kind of deal.

Would like to see more detail on your gantry setup for chainsaw milling. Have smaller Granberg "Alaskan" and had thoughts of doing something similar. Like the way your design looks better than what I thought up.

Thank you

Great explanation! Thanks for the time and much energy you gave to us!!!

The Most Awesome Explanation-Demonstration About Quarter Sawing Lumber !!!!

Great video. Easy to understand. Much more efficient cutting style.

Excellent video and you are a really good teacher! I live in NY State and getting wood can be very difficult and having the tools you have is expensive, but this give me a lot to think about. Thanks.

I have enjoyed both part 1 and 2 of your videos. Hopefully I will retain the knowledge I have gained about many things and look forward to other videos. New to saw milling with my homemade band saw sawmill mostly on yellow pine (in Ga) from a tornado 2023. Great information here for those of us who want to know.

Fantastic! This video was an eye-opener about sawmilling. It's astonishing to watch the skillful processing of these large logs. This video is exceptionally clear and well-produced. I can't wait for your next upload. Keep producing such fantastic content!

Wealth of information. Thank you very much for this Video. I would have never thought of half the things you mentioned.

Do you have an email address that i could contact you? I would like to talk to you. Lost a huge red oak tree from Beryl. I hated losing this tree it was the best one in the yard. When i was 13, my grandfather taught me and my cousin how to frame. We built a garage/shop for my grandfather's boat. Shop was built probably 1978. My grandfather was from East Texas. The shop was built with conventional framing with the diagonal brace for the walls. When the tree fell both side of the galvanized tin roof took a direct hit. I was very surprised at how well the building survived. The roof is going to have to come off to repair the building. I have a couple joists that will need to be replaced along with rafters. Both sides of the galvanized tin had holes punched into it. I was able to patch it because we had extra galvanized sheets stored along with a coffee can full of galvanized roofing nails. I'm thinking about having the red oak milled. The tree is approximately 93.5 inches (used a tape measure) around or 29.77 inches in diameter. The tree splits off into 2 trunks at 20 ft. It's about 43 inches wide (rough estimate) where the trunk splits into 2 separate trunks.

Great videos. Looking to learn sawmill work, I’ve watched numerous videos but none as informative as yours. I’ve subscribed to the channel, looking forward to seeing more, and have referred your videos to others. Thanks for making the time to share your experience.

Absolutely loved it.. thanx again

Wow I have learned so much h from you thankyou so very much for ur time and efforts! Ur awesome

Ur awesome, thankyou very much!

Thank you sir for your time, and for sharing your very helpful information. Much appreciated. Liked, and subscribed. Least I could do to pay for your service.

George, thank you for taking the time to educate the sawyer community.

looks like a bunch of markers didn't really learn much

I like to use a compass rather than a template then I get less waste, and a centre. Also, you could only get a log to my workshop with a helicopter !! I can cut a days work on the lathe in an hour, the old way, I don't want or need too much green timber in front of me. I tend to use whichever screw chuck is nearest ! I like long videos thanks ! Sycamore ( Acer Pseudoplatanus) is what was used in UK and Ireland for timber for the dairy industry for many years, it is very good kitchen bowl wood. Horse chestnut is also good. I could turn a Huge bowl, but who's got a house big enough to take one !
