AMISHISH SAWMILL!!

[@Zornat89]

Cody, I have watched and recommended your videos to several people. sometimes they complain that they are a little boring like when you were cutting the wooden dowels. What these people don't understand is that watching someone work in the job site and make mistakes and find work around and solutions is completely invaluable to us Youngblood homemakers. This training is the most that some of us will ever get. Thanks so much for all your effort and please don't edit out the small mundane details, they make a world of difference to some of us.

[@lesedwards9203]

I have really enjoyed your series on modern homesteading. I especially enjoyed your recent video on how you are getting organized and you found it to be a Biblical principle. You have inspired me to become more organized and follow more Biblical principles. I can only imagine Jesus being inspired by Joseph's​ carpentry and learning humility from him as anyone who tries to to build or repair something must learn pretty quickly. Thanks again and I look forward to more great episodes. Sincerely, Les Edwards Columbia SC

[@dougdobbs]

Cody, don't change a thing. Love what you're doing, the stories, the pace, the humor. Keep up the good work. :)

[@212superdude212]

Damn, I can never get enough of these videos man. Usually whenever I go on KZbin I have a few videos in my notifications and when this channel is one of them, it's always first one I watch.

[@DigsDirtDigsMusic]

I'm really enjoying these videos - nice length to get into detail and yet not boring! There is so much to learn!

[@cjpenning]

If you're a regular viewer the titles shouldn't matter. If you're a new viewer the title is what brought you here.

[@dasaster7993]

cjpenning couldn't agree more.

[@lordliftedme]

Thanks for the entertainment Wranglerstar clan! I've seen every video and I enjoy them all. I'd rather watch the back catalog than TV. Sure hope the drone flying is as easy as you say. I bid a video job to do real estate video of buildings and I bought the big drone. I'm sure there will be a learning curve, but I've been flying RC for 25 years.

[@mikebox]

That Black Walnut story made me LOL!

[@pansejra]

You've been living my dream, Cody! I wish I'll be able to move to the nature one day with my family. Love the view you have there... God found this place for you. I'm always amazed just by the beauty of the nature around your property.

[@gearheadted5110]

Serious signs of spring, Mr. Wranglerstar firing up the Lucas sawmill.

[@bobvan2576]

Your joy in finally seeing some good weather really comes across, and I love it! I've been feeling the same way over the last couple days here up in BC. It just feels like it's been months without a drop of sunlight... Really makes a guy stop and appreciate it when the old sun comes out. Best, Bob

[@builderdan1231]

You finally get to be outside again! All of our snow finally melted about a week ago, granted, you are a bit higher in elevation, but boy, does it feel good to be outside and not in the single digits! Keep up the good work.

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

Saw mill joy, I so want to see that mill slicing the log into boards, what a rig!!! I remember working in a mill in northern Maine for a summer where I was a low saw man, (one guy on top of the log and one below) to pull the saw through the log to rough cut planking. I would have sold the neighbor's kid to have had a mill like this!!! What beautiful day to work outside...at last!

[@MatManification]

Every time I hear u mention the metric system I get a good chuckle. Loving the mill videos from Australia :)

[@heyerstandards]

I've been studying Joel Salatin for 15 years and that anecdote is magnificent. He shares advice for someone new to the country side: if you're visiting a neighbor and he starts chatting, but you're in a hurry, best get over yourself and turn over a 5 gal pail and listen a while.

[@rickwalker9265]

It's always nice to see the evolution of skills you're making as these various projects progress. It makes for a nice reminder and encouragement that there is not a line between the master and the beginner but a range and we as practitioners are somewhere in that range.

[@mattk6222]

Yet another amazing video, love the content you provide. We are all so thankful to have someone like you on KZbin!

[@sixfour2202]

Another great video. Its nice to see the hand tools being used instead of battery powered drills and saws. I don't know why anyone would dislike this video

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Can't wait to see how these turn out. It's amazing how the mood seems to change when the sun comes out for the first time in the spring.

[@4460cows]

Looking forward to this series of videos. When you mentioned it does not get any better than this with snow covered Mt. Fuji and the Lucas saw mill while showing us the mountain of processed fire wood in the background of the video. Yes, life is good indeed.

[@curtisnail742]

Glad the snow is clearing for you and you are able to get outdoors. I enjoy the views at your place. Thanks for the video.

[@Bigninjon]

who else checked the time when the the story started and just knew the milling was going to be on the next video? all in all still great video's

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Jon the tinkering AMT I don't blame him at all....more videos = more views = more $$. If I had a channel I'd do it

[@andrewlathrop5157]

I can't help but grin from ear to ear whenever Cody says something about the metric system. I pause the video, go grab a cup of coffee and get my daily dose of comedy in the comments section. Nothing better than reading grown men throwing fits on the internet while not getting the joke. keep it up Cody! I have a feeling he gets a few chuckles out it too...

[@snoxpro]

Doesn't get any better than that!! Its incredible how handy a tractor is with the right implements. I'm ready for winter to be over here in vt but I'm excited to see your snowblower when that comes as well lol

[@bjwillis43]

Happy first day of Spring!

[@tylerbuchholz3234]

Glad we got to see the sawmill cutting at the end. Waiting for tomorrow, thanks.

[@wolfmanwolf4656]

I like your little storys, while you are working. And it is always good to work outside with wood on a nice sunny day. Greetings

[@Jack70903]

I love the sound of your community. sounds like people are still people to one another

[@ringerson4x4]

I really enjoy Joel Salatin videos, he has a great outlook on farming as a business.

[@Kropikovo]

@14:05 it gets even better... There's another mountain, actually... A mountain of freshly split wood. There, just on the right. It may or may not even have a snowy peak! :)

[@richarddortch6122]

Black Walnut is $16/bdft S2S SLR 1E here in Bozeman, MT. That much lumber is like a pile of gold. I love pairing Black Walnut with Cherry.

[@mtpowder8974]

Richard Dortch greetings fellow bozemanite.

[@jodeum2]

Come to Missouri. The Mennonite's with small lumber mills sell black walnut and white oak for $3 a board foot.

[@Brian-lh4fi]

Wranglerstar, nice to see you still starting your saw with the proper (safe) method!

[@robertallen4187]

I lost it when he said cocaine lol great vid Cody.

[@andrewford80]

yeah, i liked that too.

[@richardzielenkievicz1914]

It's so true though. Never cut black walnut that big but have milled some of the black heart wood for handles and it's so beautiful.

[@sambrown631]

Robert Allen that really made me laught to

[@skm9420]

Robert Allen I did my self

[@TowMater]

I absolutely love the way the channel is done and I find myself watching the videos as soon as I can and sometimes more than once> Thank you for sharing I realyu appreciate everything you show.

[@2012metalmulisha]

that's the funniest thing I have ever heard Cody say "its Like cocaine!!!" I spat my dinner across the room hahahaha too funny

[@juddmuterspaw4081]

Ready to see some saw milling! We don't have that kind of saw, just the slabber attachment, so it will be something new. Best of luck! Keep up the good work!

[@Wood-Renovations]

You need more hours in the day! I'm so excited for this to continue I can't stand it! As always, looking forward to the next video!

[@adamtakac3790]

That's a great story about Joel Salatin. Congrats on that black walnut score! The smell of freshly milled walnut is pretty great, I'm sure you will love that experience. Keep up the good work!

[@grantottaviano7445]

I got to tell ya, that little teaser at the end of the video has really got me looking forward to seeing some sawdust fly!

[@taylormonti8281]

Yeah! More Benchmade 940, so nice to see in the wild.

[@tonyzam6805]

Can't wait for the next part!

[@frankoconnor7309]

Cody really excited to watch you enjoy your Lucas saw mill. The Lucas family was featured in a documentary recently in Sydney about how a small family business born out of a farming family now employee's a good portion of local people in the very small town from where the mill was started and is now manufactured.

[@jasonbowden6459]

Love the metric system jokes. Kills me every time. Great videos Cody.

[@bubbles187]

thanks for another great vid Cody

[@danryan3146]

I have seen a Lucas Mill demo at a logging show in Bancroft, Ontario about 7 years ago. Nice rig with some cool features but limited functionality in some ways. Definitely better suited for some than others. I contemplated going with the Lucas but ended up with a typical bandsaw mill. Milling your own lumber is some of the most satisfying work one can do. I love the Wranglerstar videos and get a lot of good advice/information from them. My next projects are timber framed buildings for my cider press and maple sugar shack.

[@forestfloorenterprises2137]

Living the Lucas Mill dream. I know that feeling.

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Love the stories and experiences mate keep it coming the happiest shines through

[@cjmiller1871]

As an ex amish guy I am deeply offended by your title! Not really. Love your work. Love your common sense. If you ever want a tour of an Amish community let me know. I can show you around Shipshewana, IN. However, they aren't as primitive as most people think.

[@johnsthereality3601]

I definitely enjoy these types of videos more

[@MrGijom]

Finally, man, you're starting doing business. God bless you

[@sgbarn]

I'm excited to see this lumber, and the saw horses that come from it.

[@jkpq8738]

Keep doing what you're doing, Mr. W. Don't let the others discourage you.

[@christianadventure]

Great looking weather out there and it looks like you're getting some of that snow melted off as well!

[@Lochlee]

Awesome video as always :) Thanks for the hard work and the content.

[@SuperWidget100]

Love black walnut. I have a really bad short video of my Grandpa dropping a huge black walnut that he made into a table. Such a beautiful wood

[@jporterfield]

Love your story telling.

[@JerkRice]

I love it when you say Amishish!

[@yitcon2704]

Be sure to video the Black Walnut cutting! Great video as always!

[@susieq9186]

Your comments show a real love of wood.

[@enriquemendoza8209]

personally. ........ I love the videos. .. don't know what everyone wants. don't care. it's better than TV. keep'm coming.

[@benzmansl65amg]

Great video as always Wranglerstar. These haters are ridiculous. It's about the process, personality, and stories of the creator. I don't own a saw mill. I watch because I enjoy the man. Mr. Wranglerstar!

[@blazing149]

Hi from Australia, love your videos and your great positive attitude, and the kinds words you have about Australia, I love the Lucas Mill as well :) thanks again for the enjoyment you give me with your videos and letting me experience the lovely place where you live Cheers :)

[@halnywiatr]

It is the duty of our generation to plant black walnut so that our great grand children can have stories.

[@Mizpah61]

Black walnut another version of black gold! Nice vid Cody....love the music on this one too!!

[@skipm.1359]

That black walnut would be amazing. That will be a great video series too. Great work. God bless.

[@wikkto6893]

It looks like your log bunks have saw marks on two of the four. Keep posting the great videos.

[@billyriley1479]

Excellent video as always! It seems I'm always learning new things.

[@willemerson9332]

Yea, but the Amish would have had a stickered stack of boards at the end of the video.

[@craigsadler8794]

Will Emerson nicely put, and agree totally

[@MrImperiallover]

That story you just told about the black walnut trees and the person you were talking to about him and what he said toyou made me laugh love your videos keep up the good work

[@DrozeTheReal]

I see there is some complaints at how you make your videos. Personally, I like how it is. How you educate and inform. Tell stories to us and simply by being a human, how you live your life... I find it entertaining and it helps me grow as a person... Thanks and good day to you and your family.

[@redjellybean9797]

I'm now getting in the habit of commenting,​ Happy first day of spring.

[@buggy8887]

Love your vids man keep it up

[@wheeler7973]

Great video thank you can't wait to see the mill running

[@mikeandmaryinmt3898]

Keep up the good work, you tell a great story. Artful handling of that log grappler.

[@chriscoy7040]

It is a real nice view you have. Can't wait to see some boards from the Lucas mill.

[@cnt_drive_1670]

I should have know better, two parts? Who could have guessed? lol Great video Cody! Looking forward to the next few.

[@nathanbollinger2594]

Another well done video!

[@callummackay4863]

Don't listen to the haters, I and I'm sure many others love your videos keep going I love them, I come to watch them everyday there awesome 👍 👍

[@timothydeal8307]

very nice video, I enjoyed it very much I find your content relaxing. find myself needing to get to your channel and see what you have for us each day. never been around a saw mill before can't wait to see how it works.

[@taladan]

Cody - all the metric vs. imperial arguments in the comments aside...if you'll run a little beeswax or gulf wax on those 2x4's you're using for cribbing every so often, it'll help those aluminum chocks slide when you want them to.

[@thomasbland6428]

taladan I was thinking that they needed a pass or 2 with a plane to reduce the width.

[@timhooper1557]

Might make it too loose a fit? Those trunks have a fair bit of heft to um certainty don't want um slipping when running the saw through um! 🤞

[@JohnDoe-ne9fi]

Tim Hooper very true Tim. Im a Hooper from east Tennessee

[@Letsfingeritout]

simple yet productive saw mill!

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

That's interesting. The bark protects the tree while it's alive, but it's makes it rot more quickly when it's dead. It looks like those aluminum chocks have already had a run-in with a saw blade. When in doubt, blame the metric system. That works for me. Now that you have a Yanmar, the proverb still holds: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. That's one of the major things that hooked me on your channel.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

If you ever come to Pa, look me up, we can mill some hardwoods

[@cookinginthedark6768]

Cody, I was laughing hard by the end of the video. But just let me say, yes that is an absolutely perfect view. one day.. Thanks for sharing as always, Brad

[@24copeland]

You had a way better day at work than I did. Haha. Thanks for the content! Very much appreciated.

[@nadiedeinteres1285]

Happy black walnut merchant

[@Aussieuke]

I am amazed at the comments that a simple video creates.Comes to mind'Only in America'cleche and dare I say 'Move em up! Rawhide!!!!'. Cody is who he is and if you can't find common interest then best thing is move on and find your Shangrila.It is the internet and the choices available are far greater than any one life-time.I have no interest in starting a timber mill or building out of timber projects of Codys' magnitude but just enjoy the experiance and Mt Fuji views are superb.

[@rickmaudlin2160]

Hadn't thought about over drilling the hole / under cutting the dowel. Learned another great tip. Darned Metric system anyway. Love the sharing half the (raw gift) wood principal. I'll have to implement that in life. Thanks

[@trichi77]

My wife asked me why I have a Lucas Saw Mill on my Amazon wish list... I sent her the link to you videos... Nuff said! Cheers!

[@FOB-yz7gf]

I'm really going to enjoy this series......

[@benjaminholtzen9785]

Nice looking piece of wood. Can't wait to see how it turns out.:)

[@JSRocker1776]

another Awsome video. thanks Cody!

[@curtwhite876]

I'm becoming a BIG fan of the Frostbite Grapple. I am beginning to seriously consider adding a third control for my loader. Great video, lot's of details... Awesome.

[@lukefowles6641]

excited to see the black walnut I hope it pans out. thanks for the video cody!!

[@bengesell]

Not any better this side of heaven. What a great place!

[@petertheis1695]

I really enjoy it, I wish more people would watch and not judge. Thx

[@LarsMith217]

Years ago, I wrote an article, for the Rural Heritage magazine, comparing portable sawmills, and the Lucas was one of my favorites. Have you ever considered "riving" lumber ? Quarter-Sawn lumber falls asleep @ night, wishing it were "riven".

[@TheBrightPixel]

I've seen people marking the heart crack (with a sharpie) on either end of the log and then turning the log before milling so that the heart crack is as close to level with the saw cuts as possible. Apparently, this helps reduce twisting as it dries, as the heart crack is an indicator of the weak spot of the tree, and shows the way the cells in the wood are already shrinking.

[@danieljcoughlan]

Jesus,,,, the size of that chain saw, are you cutting wood outside from your living room lol! Another great video, I watch your videos every night at the end of my day 👍

[@Aussompossum2008]

I have every tool youve ever reviewed off of amazon on my amazon wish list! i hope i can win!
