I love, love, LOVE how supportive Melissa is! She’s a great woman Mike! (but you already know that)

[@MrMxrider65]

Beautiful wood. Every woodworker would love to have some.

[@WAVETUBE84]

Beautiful wood, nice sunny day, and a chorus of birds chirping in the background. Plus dinner on the table: that's as good as it gets!

[@garyseitz6133]

I love this stain on the Woodshed Mike, it looks very rustic. Stay safe and God bless

[@allenpelletier6759]

MIKE IS ONE LUCKY GUY. GR8T FAMILY, LARGE PROPERTY, A GOLD MINE. ALL THE COMFORTS OF A HOME. HE IS BLESSED.

[@jonyp1320]

Allen, when i was younger i used to woek 18 hours a day, nowdays after 12 i am dead tired. But mike is working on something almost every day after work. Good ol fasioned way, work hard, live modest, and enjoy what you do. I guess he did not win this property in the lottery, its hard erned with lots of swet, thay broght him where he is.

[@tommcmillan3143]

Great show, replaced watching the news with watching Outdoors with the Morgans and it gives back so much more! Thanks!!!

[@jeffreyplum5259]

Anyone who lives with the Morgan Ladies knows beauty. I'd guess a meal must be very good to be noticed in such fine company. Pleasant family meals are a true blessing. That unstable center of a log is called the "pith", according to the Out of the Woods channel sawyer. God bless and protect you all, friends.

[@stevekreger8172]

Hey Mike, when you are ready to put steel roof on, layout the screw holes and drill the entire stack for screws first.....so much easier and neat. Maybe common knowledge but thought I would share with you

[@davidconaway2830]

I've had a Graco X5 for years and it is a great machine. Never had an issue with it as long as you keep them clean after use.

[@davedowding5883]

Well it’s a subjective call, but Melissa’s smile is one of the BEST things to come out of Pennsylvania! Then the cherry off your mill come next. Howdy from Central Texas!

[@shelleycarlson6184]

My goal is to support the small businesses in my community. Thank you for the plug regarding the splitter. So glad you are supporting this company!!

[@lavernsimkins1164]

You can really pile up the fire wood now. The saw mill likes to cut the cheery wood. You do an excellent job.

[@augustreil]

Wow, the shed looks beautiful. We use stainless steel soda kegs, modify them into sprayers and use compressed air from an air tank. We put up to 80 psi in them to spray the heavier stains. Again, the shed is looking awesome. Thumbs up !!

[@jerryaschenbrenner712]

I love Cherry. At one time I used Cherry to make furniture, rocking horses, toys etc., for my children. Finishes beautifully! So durable and great looking!

[@augustreil]

My living room floor is the same Red Cherry they are using, nice stuff.

[@thomasjohnson9768]

My favorite wood working material next to curly maple, and a lot easier to mill. Ages beautifully for sure .

[@bwillan]

Now that Mike has a sawmill, I am certain he really has to think twice or 3 times before using cherry logs for firewood. That is some beautiful lumber.

[@alexwanless5859]

I'm in the logging business in Michigan and the sawmills call that center square leftover a "cant". There are special Mills that buy them and saw them for pallet stock.

[@williehamilton3629]

I have to agree with you Mike about how nice cherry wood is. A few years ago I refurbished a restaurant and we used cherry for the seating and the tables finished in satin lacquer. All the cladding around the bar area again was cherry. When the restaurant reopened and the food critics printed their reviews they all asked what the wood was. Say Hi to Hunter for me. Willie

[@addisongardner1989]

Love the Graco Ultra 16N657. Shed looks amazing. The knots in the siding are beautiful. Whoever said red pine isn't great is nuts!

[@ritterjon]

💥 Another great video! Don’t you just love this time of year, warming weather and opportunities to get stuff done. Keep on Woodmizering 😁👍

[@kevindavis6042]

Really like the stain on the shed Spraying makes the most sense Mike

[@WhiskeyDale]

That cherry is some purdy stuff. I'm a wood turner. Baseball bats and bowls. Cherry is awesome. . Hate to see that good wood going into a fire.

[@SkidderKev]

I love the smell of cherry! It makes some nice lumber!! That stain looks great too

[@bykrmom]

I heat my home 90% with firewood. (I have a heating oil furnace for backup). Mike, you split your wood into the best size for us older folks. Sometimes when I have to buy wood, I get chunks so large that they barely fit in the load door (it's an old farmhouse wood furnace with an end load). Wow that cherry really has a nice look to it. Ru thinks that wet board looks lickable LOL

[@russellbowman8051]

Great Looking Lumber!!👍👊

[@HEO-Trucker]

Love foiled dinners. We called them Hobo Dinners growing up. :)

[@robertappleby4734]

The 3 ladies in your life should be the prettiest thing to come out of Pennsylvania

[@danieljoo8359]

Use the bark off cuts for building raised bed planters. The bark side in so they enrich the soil as they deteriorate and the cut face out will look great. If you want the wood to last longer take off the bark

[@gregj2647]

Mike you are right about cherry. As a woodturner I kills me to see you split that cherry for firewood. Cherry is one of my favorite woods to turn.

[@joelwatts9042]

My favorite wood. I live in central pa and we have plenty here. Built an entertainment center and bedroom suite out of it. Burns good to. Only down side, it rots fast in the weather. Thanks for featuring it.

[@troysalen1426]

Another great video. Being a Pa resident I also love the cheery. Harvested, planned and tongue/groved from our land for flooring in our cabin. Also always enjoy your music selections.

[@rickeywatson1288]

We live in Tennessee, love watching y'alls videos. Have family that lives in Jonestown Pa. HAVE A Day.

[@hughgriffiths5837]

Thx for this Mike. Cheers to health, wellness and all you Morgans from up north Vermont.

[@markbuilt]

Only been through Pennsylvania one time I remember most barns and country buildings we passed were stained red and the fascia boards were white Mr. Morgan I think you're becoming your own man you rebel . Your wood shed looks really good , Puritan Pine . always good video . Be safe

[@ronaldtowns7291]

Malissa off the lease. I learned about the foil dinners in Boy Scouts too. Use to do them more often then we do now. Cherry is hard to split by hand. Buckin got me into hand splitting. Log splitis only used for the knots I can’t split by hand. Mike when are we going to see the pool build? Be safe be kind and have a day.

[@lannyflannery9409]

Mrs .Morganis THE PRETIEST THING in or out of Pennsylvania!!!!!

[@jonyp1320]

M&M i never saw a sawmill or a lumber in my life (no such trees around here) but i adore and encouraged by watching you after a day's work doing work at home. i'm exhausted and i must do things around here. - a cup of coffee and i get back to work...

[@oldtimeengineer26]

all my 74 years I thought I was the best thing that came from PA

[@mikepeterson8663]

Hi Mike, it doesn't matter what wood it is the pith in the will check and crack even in wood that is a lot denser than the cherry. I love cherry also, I build furniture and a pile of turning. Cheers from Chigwell Alberta Canada.

[@millcrafters]

Mike. You guys are the best. Listen I had a high end body shop for 20 years so refinishing comes as second nature. I wanted to say the stain you picked is great. Love the color and the transparency letting the grain show through. One thing that is important is that on the header you have partially done, you want to finish that with a brush because you can accurately work up to your already covered line. If you go over that line it will be like adding a second coat which will show. If you try to use the sprayer the Graco it will be difficult to create that fine of an edge. That header is your show board. Smart choice on getting the Graco. It will make that job doing all of the rafters etc. turn into short order. Good investment. So when are you planning on building the huge barn the way the amish do with post and beam timber frame? You know get You're a man after my own heart. I have an elaborate woodworking shop. Strive for perfection, settle for excellence.

[@jeremyburke2096]

That cherry is beautiful wood I really like your setup mill and splitter I’d like to do something like that so I could source the lumber I want to build some of my own cabinets. Hope you and the family have a great day.

[@davejohnson7938]

And again, another great video. Love the Cherry lumber. Make many things in the shop when I get it. Typically pick that and Walnut wood up when I get back North. Keep them coming.

[@marcuswhite3628]

Cherry is my favorite also. The knots & “Ys” intrigue me. Have you ever thought of getting a lathe & trying some turning? Love you guys & the videos ❣️

[@petersmith5199]

Marcus, don't tell him that, he'll never have any money if he gets the turning bug!

[@SloMotion66]

The best photographed and edited video to date. It should win an award. Easy and pleasant to watch.

[@byronf.bingham6291]

I really your videos. The wood is beautiful. The color in the video is very good. Keep up the good times with your Hobbies. I don't want to call it work because work is sometimes very stressful.

[@ADSC2006]

We need a Morgan Family Wood Split Stack Video.

[@johncware66]

I've been very happy with my Titan Airless Sprayer, the Impact 440.

[@snidedog2004]

Man, holding out the tractor news is a smart tactic. I would watch every video either way lol. I love your content!

[@wayneschnare4019]

I love this channel !!! Always excellent tunes , great ethics , and an amazing family !!! You are good parents . Your children are going to do well in the world , you have prepared them well !!! Hello to Hunter !!! Great idea on the sprayer , you will be so glad you did !!! What is the word on the New Tractor ??????

[@williamtemple4331]

use the center section of the cherry to make pen blanks. I am sure lots of turners/makers would love to turn that cherry

[@alkaufmann2039]

Hello Mike.....we have a place in NE Penn and I am envious of all that cherry you have growing on your property. We have mostly hemlock where we are and I have to agree though that some of the prettiest things to come out of Pa are the trees!

[@larrysutton6530]

Mike I don't think you will be disappointed with a sprayer and like you have said you are going to have more buildings plus you only have limited time you can work on these things so faster means you can get more done with the time you have 👍

[@ShaneZettelmier]

Since you cut your own wood you could make a covered area over the mill keep the sun and rain and snow off of it Just a taller version of your woodshed or leave both sides open so you can get a tractor in there.

[@bobfitch607]

Thought Mike was going to say the best thing was Melissa!come on Mike she is your real gem 👍

[@marcuswhite3628]

Bob Fitch that was my first thought ❣️

[@ladnavbob]

@@marcuswhite3628 me too !

[@mikemcguire8351]

Yeah, she has to rank right up there with or above a wild cherry tree. After saying that, there is no comparsion. Melissa wins hands down.

[@matthewsims359]

I dont know how many viewers actually listen to the background music but i really like that song After the War. Also, that stain on the shed looks good. I hope everything is going well with the new tractor deal, your viewers are chomping at the bit to see what its gonna be. We know it wont be JUNK. Stay well, say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@realairplane261]

You have eye Melissa! Now we have to find some Morgan hats that are styled more for the ladies. 🤠

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Mike and Melissa. Great video Mike, too bad the sprayer didn’t work right. Take it back, they don’t want to sell bad equipment and they won’t know unless enough are returned. A good working sprayer is definitely a time and paint/sealer saver for sure. You’ll have plenty of chances to use the new sprayer around there. Thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to seeing the Morgan’s off the leash segment tomorrow. Fred.

[@Comp670]

Ordered a Wolferidge last week! Cant wait to get it and start splitting wood. Only thing I was disappointed about the sale was I did not get a discount for having the same last name! lol.... That stain is beautiful on the woodshed.

[@gettintheresafelywithpatf2869]

Yes Cherry is a beautiful wood, so is the red pine and knotty pine, I love the character that the knots add to all woods, and some of the cheaper woods have the most character!

[@brucebello2049]

Another point on using a sprayer is that you are going to build a number of buildings so it’s really a good investment

[@barryirby8609]

Nice job boxing the heart. Excellent practice.

[@Tman317]

Mike, I soooooo want a Wolfe Ridge splitter! Using my current MTD horizontal/vertical splitter is such a slow and boring chore. I usually put it off all year and then spend back breaking full days splitting. Ughhh... You and the Wolfe Ridge make it look fun and get the job done fast! But...(but), they ARE expensive. I'm sure worth it, buy I gotta save up a long awhile!

[@markb.1259]

And here I thought Mike was going to put up a picture of his beautiful wife and daughters as The Prettiest/Best Things to Come Out of Pennsylvania!!! The cherry wood runs a close 4th!!! :-)

[@jimpikul8551]

You may want to scout around the job for any older tarps to line the area when spraying. That way you won’t have to worry about overspray. Good luck!

[@joejodikaden]

I hope your planning on putting some through bolts on the back post to support the back half of the roof structure. I would hate to see that awesome shed have a problem under a snow load.

[@rodneyross5282]

I honestly thought you would say the best thing was Melissa and your daughters. A darn tree lol. Glad to see you are buying that sprayer, remember more family time LOL. From the great state of Texas

[@johndarraugh3817]

Just an fyi, the center of a long or in this case Kant in hardwood grading terms is called the pith. And is viewed as a defect when grading. Great video and couldn't agree more that cherry is some beautiful wood.

[@markbaumann7657]

That cherry wood is great for cooking on a smoker also as is the maple also

[@slytrader]

Mike If you want to control the sawdust from the mill I saw on another channel where they attached a plastic bucket to the discharge chute. Just something to consider if you don't want to be picking through the gravel for sawdust.

[@karenswartzbaugh1476]

just identified 2 black cherry trees, by the flowers, on our place. Love.

[@ronwest7797]

My mom used to make those but she called them hobo dinners. No matter what you call them, they are delicious. She has been gone 13 1/2 years and I still miss her.

[@python3574]

We call foil dinners Campfire Packs, and have them all the time. My wife continuously gets messages from people asking how to make them. It seems pretty self-evident if you’ve ever had one, but then again, if people could make a simple cup of coffee there would be no Starbucks. Having said that, you’ve missed a huge business opportunity, Melissa. You could have been making and selling foil dinners by the hundreds and selling them for the last 8 weeks as Quarintine Packs. Curbside pickup. Probably could have bankrolled a pool or something. But, I digress.....lol.

[@T4CONSTRUCTION]

Always love the music choices. Great video!

[@brucealvarez9263]

I think you meant cherry is the SECOND best thing to come out of Pennsylvania. The Best thing, of course, are the ladies of your family :D Cherry is my favorite wood. What you are missing with regard to the woodworkers is that many make SMALL things, not tables. Lots of good stuff can be made from a piece the size of what you split to burn. Probably don't need to stain the rafters and purlins, they will never see any weather.

[@corybuckles8492]

I used to work on a ripsaw line in a finishing mill here in central PA. One day we had the privilege of working with some 10/4 cherry, 16' long, upwards of 24" wide. Hands-down the most beautiful lumber I've ever seen, and massive on a scale you almost never see anymore. That was a good day.

[@Snarkapotamus]

We made some cabinets out of old cut PA Cherry reclaimed from barn beams and they were wider than that! I never knew it got that big, but it did. And it was truly beautiful wood..

[@perryhughey3687]

I agree the best thing out of Penn is not a piece of Cherry! Don't get me wrong, I love Cherry, but that's something ANYBODY can get ANYTIME! You have a lot more to be thankful for than that!! I also agree, you will regret closing in those soffits!

[@user-iq8wg9vp5b]

They are bowing you’re cutting with the curve. Not good still looks beautiful. Have a great day.

Good stuff fella. Thank you for sharing the process. Nice piece of cherry. Lightly timber bound, but beautiful.

You will use the sprayer on the next buildings, and for the house and pool house.

[@LanceMcCormick]

Shed is looking awesome! Paint sprayers rock!

[@guns4funfreedomkeeper999]

I have a ton of those Wild Cherry on my place in the PNW. I hand split everything and that is some hard splitting wood. I have gotten to where I run the tip of my chainsaw down each log to open the bark or it holds that round together like a million rubber bands.

Great video. Love the birds singing in the back ground

[@lloydpainter1701]

Love your music selections!

[@richarde.6750]

I see that Grayco makes some reasonably priced sprayers.....in stains, the pigment clogs the nozell so pressure needs to be higher....good choice Mike........

[@thomascarroll1916]

I bought a Graco TrueCoat 360 VSP to stain my wood shed. Was very easy to put down the stain, but I still back-rolled. This was my first time using a sprayer, so maybe a more experienced person would do better. I’m anxious to see how you make out. Good luck!

[@charliewagner2727]

Try adjusting the nozzel to a spray. Mine the nozzel will turn from mist to a stream. Pump up and test to get what is right.

[@dougspaulding3240]

Foil dinners are the best been doing them for years.

[@er1073]

The stain really looks nice Mike. I am with you on the spraying to get complete coverage of everything.

Melissa, Hannah, and Eva. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Hello Hunter. Ed

Nice Cherry Lumber!

[@mariowickel456]

Mike I hope you get yourself a table saw, you'll also find a radial arm saw to be helpful if you begin getting into a bit more advanced wood working. Sure Melissa would love a custom book case made from Cherry ,grown on the property. I'm a bit older than you and I'm glad I've got my hobbies since I retired
