Is it ok to use the same to sticker while you are sawing? Do we need to worry about sticker stain?

Ive split quite a few of those big logs, i know exactly what you mean. My 661 does a great job at it, but man does it like gas lol. And i think all the youtube videos from asia with a guy with a big saw cutting lumber lol. Im good with a saw and still jave problems getting the cuts just like you did to line up. Its hot, dirty, loud and tough on your lungs.

Why WM put a scale on the machined graduated in tenths of an inch is a bit odd. Suggestion on the knob to handle interference, maybe a wing screw, a flatter knob, or dimple the handle.

Just found you guys on fb enjoy watching you guys. Appreciate your attitude very nice people. I just ordered the Lt15 wide hoping my son and I have fun. My son great Carpenter so hope to have fun I'm 78 so trying to set him up. We'll keep up the good work God bless Mike & Brett

I watch Matthew Cremona’s videos he has a very big saw mill for big logs. He can help you with all big logs. Reach out to him, he enjoys cutting big logs.

Good video Eric, one question what do you prefer for stickers ? Do you use the same species of stickers as wood you are banding.

Great video guys

the 3120 should be set from the factory with a higher rev limit it's set to low. I'm not talking about hot rodding it that rev limit could be turned up a bit more without shorting it's life span. I ran 404 on mine because your only really using it for the big stuff. That 372 is a great saw.

porta power gator jaws plumbed into air need 2 fyi

the 455 rancher is it a good saw?

cant wait to see the cuts and bfs verus a 30inch log the waste factor if you know what i mean by bringing big logs Verusa 30 inch log what produce the most BF

Often had to do that Eric and not all logs are the same we learn something new with every tree and logs

big cojones helps also

I have 4 Withe Oaks that are 38 Inch and I use a Stihl 460 with a 42 inch bar. After I cut the top of the log I roll it over and cut the bottom . it is a lot of work but have some wide boards.

372 is a good saw, after I got a 500I I sold it though, those big logs are a pain, good save

Good job !

All in a days work it's worth it in the end Eric

Hii

Great job and I enjoy the timelapse portions,Kar from Texas

Cool story bro! Nobody cares!!! Stop wasting time everybody's time bro

Thanks for another great video.

This video is so helpful for a new sawyer like me. Thank you

Good info, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I want to thank you guys for always providing good info and keeping the channel true to what you know. Not turning to gimmicks and click bait like some other channels I used to subscribe to in this genre. Good cutting fellas!

Where are y'all located and do you buy local cedar

We have lost our business in Oregon that sharpens blades, I don't saw enough to warrant getting a 250 sharpener, have you ever tried the carbide blades that Wood mizer offers?

I totally agree with banding, thank you very much, I don't sticker as many as you, I probably will start, because you're much better sawyer than me.

What kind of pallet do you use, do you make your own?

good content. I think I'll be looking into a bander setup soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

When i started kiln drying my lumber I check with a lumber mill that kiln there lumber. We have a solar kiln that will hold 500 BF and they said to put a lot of weight on it. We use two concrete stop bumper on top of the stack. We haven't had any trouble with our White Oak or Walnut. We use 1" by 2" sticker on our lumber. When use banders do you retighten it as the lumber dry's it will shrink the band will be come lose. that will let the lumber move out of shape.

thank you

Great video as always. How many bands would you recommend on a stack of 16' red Cedar.

Great video. How thick do you cut your boards? I have some red and white oak I want to make sure they don't shrink to much to plane to 3/4". Thanks

Great Content! Keep up the good work guys!

I’ve sawn western red cedar for many years .I always put the top of the log towards the saw , just my preference , seams faster to me anyway . I keep the rotten centre’s people actually buy them , if they’re still structural and not falling to pieces . 👍🇨🇦

WoodPrix has very useful instructions with all details I need

Nice cedar Eric if only it was a little wider

How many yards/tons of crushed stone you think you’re going to need to try to cover up your muddy yard? That is a pretty large space and some of the ruts look a few inches deep.

i do that a lot all by my self. yes it's a lot of work. boards can really fight you going threw at times. I've had to use the hand planner to cut down high spots so it will run threw the planner. i have the same planner. it's a love hate relationship. lol

🪵💪🏻😎👍🏻🪵

Pretty boards. Will make great stair treads. ❤❤

Good job guys

Edged 2 carts of 12’ white oak fletches this morning. It did warm up this morning in East Tennessee finally

That's correct! You have to run a sawmill as a business or you will be out of business.

At the end the day a man needs to make a good wage for his hard work so that is major factor in the price. I think it's great you break it down in terms of time effort and to factor in cost of things like if your suppling the wood . The how to figure and what to factor in is way more important than telling someone an amount to charge. It helps someone to figure what they need to get not what the guy next store charges or the next town over gets or even the guy half way round world. Another great video!

Four feet of snow just south of me over the last two days, more to come too. Good old northern ny lake effect snow. Also been -15 each night, im over it.

Glad to hear you're all feeling better. Always feels good to get back at it after being sick or hurt. Lots of potential sitting in the yard there!

I'll always be a fan of white oak trailer decking it's hard to beat. Having said that I use on my equipment utility trailers and lowboys Accoya which is treated Radiata Pine but have recently come to favor Brazilian Walnut as an affordable tough long lasting great appearence for extra heavy duty trailier decking. Love to see you running that MacGyvered and reconditioned milling section Using Weinig and a hand built ingenious vacuum chip removal system, just an amazing save of a high end mill that should last for many decades even if you have to make parts as new replacement mills at this level start at low six figure numbers for the basic mill w/o tooling.

I’m amazed that y’all put that much weight on top of wooden saw horses. That’s minimally 2-3 thousand pounds.

South Alabama You talking about the snow we got 10 to 11 inches of snow Tuesday not a common thing for us down here

I wish you would live close to Florida that's where I'm at too far of a drive I will be watching your videos
