[@rogeliogarcia7423]

Excellent, again!!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you. Have a super day!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

You make that look so easy Paul.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Gary, there are a lot of challenges that come about when milling and I am always learning new things. I appreciate you mentioning my channel to John from the Bradleys On Catbird Hill. I just glanced at his channel and we do have similar interest. I will subscribe and watch some of his videos late tonight. Happy Tractoring Gary!

Paul: Your entire process is beyond impressive! I really like how you have organized the spaces around the milling operation!!!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you kindly John. There was an area I didn't cover and that is where I downsize big logs with a chainsaw so they can fit on my sawmill. Have a great day John!

[@Bigtoolrack]

Very cool to see the whole process of milling logs, seems to be very well managed and organized! Nice video!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you, it takes a bit of time to fine tune the process but it really makes things a lot easier. Keeping the work areas clean is also a real benefit. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Well done Paul. Brent

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Brent, It's very much appreciated, have a great day!

[@brokenpinesfarm]

Excellent video Paul, I really admire how detail oriented you are! I know I sometimes cut corners a bit when I get a little bit impatient!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you Alex I really appreciate the kind comment. I am looking forward to the progress in your orchard. Have a great day!

[@MannistoCay]

Nice work, and great description. All about making flat wood from round. 👍🌴🍻

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Mark, you got that right. Have a great day!

Good morning Paul. When you were loading the lumber onto your trailer, I was wondering if you were going to add spacers so you could retrieve your ratchet straps. But the mighty Kubota made the strap removal easy. Thanks for taking us along with you, Ben

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good morning Ben. I decided not to use spacers since I will be using the wood in the trailer soon and I don't want it to get to much air so it slows down the drying process. I want to keep the wood as green as possible for now. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Morning Sir, Your wood mill is very well rigged Sir and very nice close view done by your OUTSTANDING lady videographer 😇👍🧐👌You have a neighbor with a noisy truck air horn 😉Very nice firewood trailer 👌👍🧐 OUTSTANDING VIDEO THAT BOTH YOU HAVE MADE Sir 👍👍👌👌😇😇Have a safe week Cheers 🍻🍻

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks for the kind words Sir, I am not sure who it was that passed by and honked the air horn. It really helps out with having a dump trailer to unload the wood. Hope you have a great weekend Sir.

@@JelenOutDoors It is currently so smoky that my eye are itching very bad !!! Can't wait to have rain ( calling this week !!!! ) Cheers

[@TNYankee2020]

Awesome, I got a tip for you. How about you Make an 8 inch L-shaped measuring stick so you don’t have to screw around with the measuring tape each time then you can just butt it up to the bottom and move your blade to the top of the stick.

[@whenworkisplay]

Hello, That sounds like,e a great idea, Ben

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks Tennessee Yankee, that is an excellent idea. I think that I will make up a few measuring sticks at different lengths. Enjoy the weekend.!

Nice Mill ! You made a nice beam & a little extra , Yes nice to keep your work area clean making good use of the slab wood :) Turning them big logs I find it easier to use cant hook in the middle of the log " how many hrs do you have on the mill ? Looks like you have lots of nice timbers done :)

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks! It is nice to have a clean organized work area, makes things simple. I either use a strap in the middle or a cant hook at one of the ends to roll the cant to minimize damage to the freshly cut wood. Not sure how many hours I have put on the mill but it is a lot. I do have a lot of inventory on hand, both milled lumber and logs. Most of it you don't see in the video. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@jasonandsara5667]

Great video 👍 Thank you for taking the time to film. Would it have been better to center the heart on the 8x8 as it relates to warping as it dries? I'm new to milling, thanks!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thank you I appreciate it and the time you had taken to watch the video. It is better to center the pith when possible. Better yet if you could eliminate the pith all together. Have a great day!

[@davesilvernail3528]

Noticed when you turned the log, you stepped between the rail and the log. If that heavy log tried to tip toward you, it might have broken your leg. I keep my legs outside the rails. Just saying.. D.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good catch Dave, you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing it out and the good advice. Have a great week!

[@406highlanders]

Do you saw dry or dead standing trees?

[@JelenOutDoors]

I mill what ever I can get my hands on. I don't let anything sit in the stock pile very long.

[@TWC6724]

Do you clean or spray anything on your blade/saw to get pitch off of it? Great work.

[@JelenOutDoors]

I use Dawn Ultra dish soap mixed in the water. I mill tons of big sappy white pine and have absolutely no issues with pitch. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@arnoldpraesent174]

dont use the magnetic measurement which comes with the mill... mine shrinked segnificantly over time and i was wondering why im off-spec all the time replaced it with an metal one - everything fine again.

[@JelenOutDoors]

Thanks for the tip. I'll check the accuracy of mine. I normally don't use the scales, I use a measuring tape. Have a great week!
