those plates are called gusset plates....well at least that's what I have always heard them referred as. You can find them on premade trusses for roofs or subfloor trusses. I have worked in construction for about 10 years.

[@jamiehorne1890]

I'm not even a woodworker, but I really appreciate the patience and love that you put into your work cutting these logs. And you're right about the pajama people, they need to get up and go to work

[@sharonsutton5877]

The beauty of natural wood never ceases to amaze me. I would choose the look of natural wood to painting any time.

[@mknewlan67]

I am not a logger, or a sawyer, or even a wood worker. I’ve got no idea how I stumbled on to these videos. That being said I’ve watched a bunch of them, your videos are so damned relaxing. I love seeing the wood hidden by these logs. Your accent reminds me of southern Illinois where I lived part of my youth. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos.

Two things. 1st, I've been bit! I've always loved wood, but seeing sawmill slabs has ignited my passion for doing the same. Thank you for that! I appreciate your sincere love for what you're doing and how you share it in such a clear, and unadulterated manner. I think I've devoured *most* of your content in the course a few days! We're all fighting the latest designer cootie here atm... 2ndly - I'm guilty of having gone out in public in my pjs. I work 12hrs a day, 7 days a week (from 1900-0700), and if the dog needs to go out (I live in a suburb atm - just bought 10+ac. of raw land though sooo), or the kids need something - i'm up, i'm clean, I handle it - yes it might be AM for you, but its PM for us night shifters - and I'm typically back to bed to get ready for the next 12hrs. I'm lucky if I get 4-5hrs. of sleep on a *GOOD* day, and i'm not about to waste any of it swapping clothes around just to appease another's JUDGMENT of me. Of course, if I have an appointment, or its a planned outing I wear street clothes, but for an impromptu outing, i'm not bothering most times. Not sure if that comes off as "lazy", but its my life - one I work hard for! "Judge not lest ye be judged" comes to mind. Keep up the awesome content and thanks again! Peace.

More than likely a $1,000,000+ job even back then. Beautiful job, they should be SO proud! Wood is amazing & people who don't work with it have no clue. Great job bro!😉👍

I've heard them called truss ties and strong ties, but strong ties may be a manufacturer's name.

Strong tie is manufactured by the Simpson company. They are mostly used in the wooden truss manufacturing process to connect panel points.

Your videos are half cool wood cutting, half cool editing and half cool commentary. That makes them 133% better than the reaction video.

Those are truss plates for manufactured trusses. The wood is laid out in the truss pattern and then plates are placed at each joint and a rolling press runs over them to mash them into the wood. Then they're put on my semi and I deliver them all over the south.

I answered a craigslist ad once for a couple peices of wood one was a short slab of what I figured was some blue pine or some cheap buggy stuff. It turned out to be 10/4 walnut with some crotch figure and a void where the two branches came apart and reconnected its 19 inches by 25 inches. The other piece looks to be mahogany it's 4/4 28 inches long and 14 inches wide. They were both free off craigslist! I don't have access to a mill all the time but I do have a buddy with one so we mill some stuff hear and there when I find a tree or some logs I get half of what we mill.

A friend of mine works in a log yard in northern PA. Instead of the metal truss thingy they use Log Savers. They are plastic I shaped things that are hammered in the ends of veneer logs to stop a split from growing and preserve the value. And since they are plastic they don't harm the veneer machines.
