Love that sound

That is a beautiful log to mill. Subscribed

Great content! I found your channel today. Look forward to seeing more projects. I'm in the process of setting up my mill and plan to build a shed.

Hello Jim, everything going well with you? It's been over a month ago your you posted your last video. Hope you're okay and making adventures outside, grtzzz Richie!

Other than utility uses like a work table, what is Cottonwood best used for? We have lots in Southcentral Alaska, and everybody considers it a nuisance more than anything.

Got to get a grinder one of these days. I use the same apparatus you used.

Neat log turner.

Ñice video mate,I just to sharpen with that stihl 2in1 but have progressed to a single file sharpening, never looked back . After all it's all in the filling, can't bring that electric sharpening device into the woods 😊 ! Good luck with your new sharpening ways

I use a file without a guide its fast and I have full control and I see everything if the chip rackers are high just check with the guide and usr a flat file. How does the grinder work in the paddock?

Nothing was like a Silvey grinder. Now it's all wannabe grinders made in China. Some work well, some don't....tough field to negotiate.

Great review!

I love great technology, but its always great to know how to do it with some files, just in case we find ourselves without power some day

doesn't look like you can do the depth gauge with it

Good video. Very informative, and nice demonstration. Looks like I'll be adding another tool to my arsenal.

There is nothing better than using a grinder on your saw chains. The first time I used it on one that had been hand filed I found out that not all of my cutters were the same length front to back. I know that there are a lot of individuals that do file by hand. And kudos to you. But I don’t carry a pocket knife because I have not been able to sharpen one correctly and the other side of that story is I don’t have a need for a pocket knife. I now have enough saw chains with me that when one gets dull. I just take it off. Put a new one on and sharpen it when I get back to the garage. And because I didn’t sharpen them correctly. They didn’t last as long compared to the ones that come off of the grinder. I have an Oregon sharpener. Looks just like the one that you’re using. Keep up the good videos. Enjoyed it very much thank you.

Looks like a nice machine...nice review

I always had trouble getting my chains filed consistently the same on both sides. I purchased a Harbor Freight sharpener and had the same concerns that you did with the Vevor. I have had good luck with using it. I try to set it so that I take off the minimum amount of the tooth that I can so that I don't ruin the chain by sharpening too often. The Vevor sharpener looks to have some better features than my Harbor Freight sharpener. I may have to look into upgrading. Thanks for the video.

Great video enjoy watching thanks for sharing

Good job. It's always a challange to handle big heavy objects by yourself. I keep thinking "how can I do this better, safer, quicker". This is going to be a great build project to follow. Thanks for bringing us along

Nice grapple work !

Good job! You've got to think out of the box when you are a one man show. Speaking of that nice camera angles, that must have slowed the process down a bit.

What a great job of using hydraulics to set those back post in. Just started sawing posts and beams for my sawmill shed. Haven’t come up yet with the exact design yet. But watching all the different types on all the u-tube channels sure helps. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.

Great looking Lumber nice Sawmill thanks for sharing have a great day

That cant hook is pretty slick!

In this case, a 5-12-13 triangle (or doubled 10-24-26) might have worked better by giving you a longer side/end to work with. Either way, using a math formula to lay out the shed makes it easier and more accurate. I saw one guy laying out a shed by using a framing square and just looking down the sides!! Not very accurate. Thanks for bringing us along. Good luck on the build

Nice job on the layout and digging the holes. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Thanks for bringing us along. Getting closer to 1,000 subsribers

Good Job Ole Boy !

I feel smarter :)

Will be watching..nice job

Looking forward to watching this build!

Good job! Laying out a building can be one of the most frustrating part (for me at least) of the whole build.

I saw a short where you use a hook and a strap to turn heavy logs. I can't find the video or where that hook came from. I would love to have one! Thanks for great videos.

Nice job sir, what state are you in?

Good job. You ended up with some fine looking lumber. The lift on the head makes it easier to get accurate boards. Thanks for bringing us along

With such thick slabs left over .. Could you have bumped up one inch before cutting to your can’t size, cut at one inch above, then bumped down an inch to cut at your can’t size? That may have given you 4 more boards that may have been smaller but still useful? Just thinking to myself until I get my first sawmill,

Nice video ! The bees on the camera are giving me a bit of anxiety :)

Thanks for the voice-over, it helps me as a non-sawmill user, to know what's going on.

Valve that controls the water flow at the tank leaks air unless it all the way open and the tube gets air locked. If you buy a little ball valve meant for sprinklers and put it in line in the tube right above the blade you can control the water pretty well.

Could you leave the grapple close by to offload the heavy lumber?

New sub here, Just came across your channel. Great setup you have there. Is awesome for a one person operation👍TCT

I really like your slab cutting jig. I might steal your idea. Did you ever consider piling the split wood in an IBC tote then storing under a roof till needed? That way handling is reduced once again.

That’s a great efficient setup you got going 👏👏

Nice video. Nice view from the future firewoods perspective 😂. I bet you dont supply the same view as it goes into the wood stove 😅

Keep learning as you go. The process can always improve Will you be showing work on the sawmill shed soon?? Thanks for bringing us along

Another good one my friend ! Yes that works great & two or 3 slabs at a time a little faster, 👍When you did the first few I was like you can put more on there lol, I do most of my cutting in winter check out my winter hauling just straight from the bush to the wood box when ever I have the room :) Great Tips Take care

One of the most important things you forgot, a sharp chain!

A sharp chain would have been much easier cutting. I would practice on your saw skills before doing the next dangerous tree.

Good job. Talking about how to do it and going slow are always good ideas. Glad you had your friends there to help. How far up the tree did the rot go? Looks like some leaning trees in the background. They can be troublemakers also. Thanks for the video. Hope you get to 1,000 subscribers soon.

Nice job Sir and your friends to help and keep an eye out for you.

Keep going,we all make misstake😀
