Very glad to see you wearing good saftey equipment. My Dad was terrible for not having saftey equipment, he wore glasses and hearing protection most of the time. Friend from the past was working wildfire in Oregon and he forgot his saw chaps and load up and was made to go back to get them, 2 hours later he was working and somehow the saw slipped and hit his right thigh and the chaps killed the saw and he was saved from a femoral bleed, he would have died in the woods above Klamath OR. Great video.

The 29 inches of snow was in the mountains. Most of us got 4-5 inches of wet snowman mix. Heavier rain south by Colorado Springs. Beautiful.

We are still 50's and 60s I ran the disc today on the tractor. Ready to grow some pumpkins maybe a few other things. Lime is coming tomorrow and getting ready to do some spring food plots. Love your channel. The sawmill will be great im sure!

Just a shout from the southern side of the Burgh. Appreciate the time and effort you put into the production.

[@barryweigle1969]

Also if you are fairly close to the Ohio line Country Saw and Knife in Salem Ohio will sharpen all your band saw blade and can also make blades for you cheaper than buying factory blades. This is the process I use ,I'm 15 miles from Salem. They are an international company so they can take care of anything you need.

You really put the RK37 to work, I don’t see the other two tractors often but I’m liking the RK37 more and more.

That snow out here in Denver was crazy. I was outside from midnight until 1:30 shaking trees and bushes to keep them from breaking. It was well worth it, no damage.

[@brucealvarez9263]

Sawmill - EXCITING! Nice looking machine. Now you have to build a drying shed. I think the sawmill is Mike's Father's Day gift!! Those are some MASSIVE limbs! I know you mentioned this before regarding how often the wood is handled but given how fast that Wolf Ridge is, you'ld have to have 4 people cutting rounds just to keep up with it so the extra step of stacking in prep for the Sunrise Split is the way to go. Load it straight into the totes, coffee and doughnuts by 8 AM! 10% likes. I gotta believe a much higher percentage actually do like watching them or they wouldn't be subscribed and checking for new videos every day or so.

[@lloydpainter1701]

Way to go Morgan’s. With a saw mill I can see all sorts of interesting projects and interesting videos. Melissa you are not old! Reminder to self....feed the deer. I knew I was forgetting something. Mike you are really good at keeping me busy and helping me find things to spend money on. 🤔

I managed to get home this evening and get something done in the yard, for once. Thanks for inspiring me to do more around the yard. Because it certainly needs it. Enjoy your Sawmill, there's a fellow in my area that has a mill and he cut up a maple I got off the side of the road.

[@leewinegar605]

Mike I bring my logs to my wood shed on the forks. I section the log all the way across then put it on the ground and finish back cut. After about 2 or three logs like that I dump a sectioned log on top of the other log and finish back cut then repeat until I have rounds on top of each other some three or four deep. Then I fire up my TW5 Timberwolf processor roll rounds onto lift arm and split them.

[@Will7981]

At the 5:09 mark Melissa forgot the trademark hand rub. You're supposed to do that as you start talking on this channel I thought. Haha. Also, congratulations on the sawmill! I've been fortunate enough to have had two Woodmizers in my time and they are worth every penny. Good call on the debarker. Debarkers are worth every penny. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action on the channel.👍🏻👍🏻I hit the like button. Always do.

[@Will7981]

LOL. Oh okay thanks!👍🏻👍🏻

[@ynotshowme2ur3times]

Congrats on the mill. Only thing i can say otherwise is the trailer package is added strenght to the rails mainly. Even if you never plan to bring it on the road it stiffens the rails so it makes the mill alot more stable and less likly to move to cut straighter and easier to pull it out and be able to clean under it especialy if you plan on making an enclosure or canopy over it later. It also makes the whole mill higher so less bending over working your log during milling. 18ft is a perfect lenght to have your likly to never regret it compared to if you only got 10 or 12ft. Cause it never fails theres always that one log a year you would need a 16-18ft 2x6 or 6x6 or such as perlings or whatnot. Even at times you might like longer but nowadays its harder to find anything that long worth sawing......at least up here in maine.

[@robertpowell2746]

I really don't know why everyone has to be so critical of what you and Melissa do why can't they just watch the videos and enjoy them like I do.

Robert Powell it’s almost like they’ve never seen a country girl work in their damn lives. It really pisses me off that I’m a man and the women out there believe all of us men are the same as the first 300 that commented about Melissa’s jeans or legs or whatever. It’s a fricken embarrassment to the men out here that work side by side with our wives on the farm and I’m surprised you can tolerate it mike cause it wouldn’t take long for me to put a stop to the disrespect of my Melissa, yes, I’ve been married to a Melissa for 25 years next week. To all the men out there that are an embarrassment to the rest of us, just take your video and go to your bedroom or bathroom and jerk off and keep your mouth shut with the rude comments. Sorry mike and Melissa, I just needed to get that off my chest and you can delete if need be. These grown men are acting like middle schoolers

[@MrsLaytonClassroom]

Congratulations on getting your sawmill! We can't wait to see what ya do with it.

[@pneumatic00]

One suggestion I would make would be to figure out where you want the mill and pour a concrete slab big enough to handle the mill and some amount of lumber storage or whatever structure you plan to build. Which could be home-build or a prefab thing. People seem to spend a lot of time leveling their mills unless it's on a solid base, and that has a big impact on the quality of the lumber they produce....and how much they have to mess around with re-leveling the mill.

[@hughgriffiths5837]

Woodmizer all the way ❤️👌🏼 glad you went with the wider LX guys (I have the LT15 and love every bit of it excepting it’s limited width of cut)!!!You will LOVE every minute of milling. It brings an ENTIRELY different appreciation of logs and lumber to the table. CONGRATULATIONS MORGANS!!!

[@benningtonwoodworks8500]

First off you two are not old. You gave me a good laugh with that one. Old is when you can’t or don’t get out and challenge yourself anymore, for some people that is very young and for other it never happens.

Greetings from Central Kentucky. GREAT TUNES!! One thing to consider might be to lengthen the top link on your brush hog. It will keep the rear wheel on the ground as you mow over undulating ground. Keep up the quality videos and content. I enjoy them.

[@n3qdz]

My neighbor has a relative that has a Wood Meizer. He loves it uses it constantly. He built a temporary structure car port it's easy to setup and his machine it covered. I believe he bought the structure at Sam's club. He can set up his site in about an hour. Nice thing is that when it's not in use he can roll down the walls and its totally protected along with the lumber he just milled. If I'm over there soon I can take a picture of his setup. One thing he does do is collect the sawdust and sells it as pet bedding to the locals. They use it for I guess chicken and horse bedding but not too sure about. Can't wait to see it in action!

[@rickskirvin1419]

It will be interesting to see that new mill in action. I have a LT 40 Super Hydraulic with a 51hp cat myself and it cuts wood in a hurry. Look forward to watching the videos.

[@bmold58]

Hey Mike your sawmill is made 10 miles up the road from where I live here in southeast Indiana. Great company.

[@frankcadillac9151]

Mike you probably forgot to mention but a log turner on the mill is very important, especially with the size logs you have. I ran a lt-70 mizer for a couple of years with the computerized set works they will put out. Any mill worth owning deserves a roof over its head. Whats really nice is a roof over your logs to keep the snow and ice off, it lets you work when you can't work in the woods. Good choice.

[@frankcadillac9151]

Whoops I didn't realize the 150 is a manual mill. When you build your shed have a heavy overhead beam so you can use a winch to turn and handle logs, you know how much they weigh. Its very handy to have electrical power available in your mill building for the winch and sawdust handling, lights and a fan in the summer is handy.

[@TheKajunkat]

[@hermandarr6224]

I watch about 6 or more small sawmills on You Tube. Most run Woodmizer mills and seem to be very pleased with them. Out here in California in the Sierra Nevada Mountains there are very few saw mills. No real hardwoods that are use-able for lumber. Black oak, live oak are firewood material. Soft woods are Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir. Sugar Pine and Incense Cedar. Most of these are available at a building supply place. There is no demand for custom cut lumber. At one time there were hundreds of sawmills cutting mostly Ponderosa Pine. Now there are only a couple dozen in the state. Most of the timber is on federal land and they can't sell it because of the opposition. The forests are now overgrown. I cut firewood for two seasons back in the mid 1960's. It was almost all black oak. These new chain saws are something else. I had a MacCullah 250 with a 24 inch bar. It did the work but it was heavy and could be a bit cranky. I didn't have a power spliter as those were almost unknown at that time. A twelve pound splitting was used for splitting. I was in very good condition after doing that work. My, how things have changed. I enjoy watching you and Melissa working on your land. I'm too old to do that now. I look forward to see your new mill.
