DREAM COMES TRUE: Young Couple Gets Sawmill to Build Debt-Free Home

[@bernarrcoletta7419]

Nice comment about building a community around a sawmill.

[@elhigh]

It's real. So many communities formed around the important support industries of the day, early villages around rivers and ports where there was a means to move lots of freight, a dam powering first a sawmill, then a grain mill.

[@SoamesHaworthOfficial]

I just watched this vid, and paused it to make a comment about the same thing. This is a quite powerful thought..."This is a tool that you can build a community around"!!!!!!!! #backtobasics

[@roberthowell932]

Build an A frame from tubing with a 12 v winch and a guard for the front of your truck to move the logs around. Just an idea. In alaska watched and helped an old timer in hope alaska do this with a 6x6 military vehicle he had when rebuilding a cabin.

[@robertrogish1038]

Our family had a Frick sawmill with a 48 inch circular blade. The best day ever the family did 1000 board feet. We scrapped the mill in the mid 70's. Dad bought a Woodmizer 10 years ago and it's been flawless for him. Thanks for sharing !

[@carlessgay1776]

She's such a great catch. Well he's worthy, so I really enjoy rooting for these two. Stay true to your dreams!

[@kamboy71]

Lay your waste slabs on the ground to roll your logs on to the mill. Keeps the logs clean and way easier to roll the logs on.

[@yellow2000SR]

Jeremy Honeycutt You lay only a few perpendicular like 'rails' from log pile to mill. Gets the logs off the ground so irregularities are less likely to cause issues rolling.... they're not meant to walk on.

[@benscoles5085]

agreed, and if they are debarked, you can use them in many ways, like cut in strips, they make pretty window molding, or left in slab condition, and trim the edges so they are flat, can make pretty siding for a small shed, , slabs are not all waste. but treated right, they can seve the first purpose and reused later,

[@NullaNulla]

Waste is best dried and used for firewood for heating/cooking/hotwater. Steel and concrete will make the easiest transition from pile to mill to pile since they will be doing a LOT of moving and milling to create enough timber for a decent build. Then use the woodchip for gardens (veg garden etc) as a natural weed and moisture barrier. It will rot into the ground providing food for worms and the cycle goes on.

[@elliottmanning]

So glad that you had a bunch of good people help setting up your mill. Had a mill like yours come in several times to make lumber for my house back in the 1970s. Even had a thousand plus SBF of one inch Alder to make into furniture and cabinets for the house, never was able to get to it... So enjoy seeing your progress!!!

[@ronaldpetersen4862]

I can almost smell the fresh cut wood. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[@alco424]

I love the satisfaction of building something from scratch including the raw materials.

[@fredll45]

I have watched you guy's quit a while and truly wish you only the best and know I'll be watching as you drive to your goal. Jess take care with your back and thanks for the videos.

[@rainman7992]

You two people, are what living is all about. You are building foundations for your dreams. Thanks for all you do.

[@christopherstube9473]

I don't know whether to be jealous or impressed. You are very creative people and do well in making a life. I would say that when you sit in the digger you both have the same necessary strength. And the sawmill is an excellent tool to compliment your timber framing skills. More power to you.

[@tialoske7557]

you kids make me smile....thank you for showing other kids this

[@MARKE911]

A clean dirt/dirt free log will increase the life of your blades. Clean the lumber mill completely at end of day. The acetic acid in the wood will rust the rails and rollers quickly. I use mineral oil after cleaning on the rails runners and blade and keep the bearing well lubricated. Lots of little things to do afterwards to protect your investment.

[@ericwolf5874]

Yep, my dad taught me early to "Take care of my tools and they'll continue to 'make' you money. Don't, and they'll just keep costing you money."

[@PatrickWagz]

right on, Eric Take care of your tools, and they'll take care of you.

[@binkybuzz8x417]

I gather all their tools are going to be sitting outside all year as no workshop is being built. City kids are so dumb

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

+binkybuzz8 x - So many jerks in the world. They are the exact opposite of dumb.

[@blindbandit4601]

Mark Eckelkamp I'm an autobody tech and that's the first thing I was taught as an apprentice how to take care of my tools properly

[@Azone14]

I didn't think any video could compare to the Timber School video but this one is right up there with one of your best videos. There are many people including myself that never knew a machine like this was available. Look forward to seeing your SAFE progress ahead.

[@shirleyvinson3894]

This was exciting to watch. I've never entertained the thought of a mill. That takes DIY to a whole new level. Very informative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

[@steveedwards8915]

Bravo, you two! It's gratifying to see two "equally yoked" people realizing their aspirations so happily. Full steam ahead. Loving this.

[@kytecit5653]

If you can spare the resources - which could be turned into a shed later, you should cover the mill to keep the weather off it. Of course you have to watch the leach lines. 'Waste' wood could be used for heating later of course - expect you have planned for that. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@stevenbaumann8692]

I could watch the mill go all day. The last 3 minutes is the best.

[@PANTTERA1959]

Saw Mill is a value added product.It's a small business. It will provide an income in dollars or trade for years. This is getting exciting.

[@bobhale8325]

YOWSER! WOWY! What a wonderful tool. It is very exciting that both of you are using the tools you have. The drone, the saw mill and so much more. The "BOTH OF YOU" factor is what I believe is one of the most exciting aspects of this adventure -- you share in all the processes of building a home and a life.

[@scruffy6151]

i have watched all your video's to date. now i can watch your video's and know the story in full. keep up the work no stoping now will be nice to watch you build your new home. happy journey. thank you for the video.

[@delllatituded820winxp3]

What I love about this video is seeing a couple doing things together. A plus is that what is being done is productive. Hopefully, in the last 10 months, all has gone well.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I have the same mill.. I have the Yanmar diesel engine on mine.. its lot of fun and real rewarding cutting your own wood .. now you'll get sawdust in your veins and will be sizing up trees everywhere lol .. and if you can get you a tractor with a set of forks.. makes things a lot easier .. I bought a Kubota

[@viktorskalbe7288]

Brett Vaugh

[@frenchiedekent8572]

Nice to see a group of neighbours together and learn how to use a new tool. Good luck to all of you. Can not wait to see you start the build...

[@1981rhino]

Awesome commitment guys, I love the community idea, and you seem to have a great one with all the people that were there👍👍👍

[@DanSHJ45]

This is awesome. I recently purchased a mill, and it's true: every log is like opening a present! You never know what you're going to get, or just how cool the grain will look! Happiness is a new blade and dirt free logs!

[@rgriff000]

congratulations guys. love watching you two live your dream. I'm very excited to see what you build

[@SmithMaximus]

This is awesome. I love seeing modern people come together and rediscover the joys of self reliance.

[@avonleanne]

how neat!!! cannot wait to see all the progress, really loving how you guys are moving forward!!!

[@tomwebber9377]

I agree with Bernarr. What a wonderful way to put things into perspective. When you build something yourself, and you offer the same resources to others, you are building a community in the truest sense of the words. Thanks for sharing your continuing journey. While I was watching this it struck me that your kids will have a complete history of their home from the moment you decided to embark on your journey until..........

[@TheCritterWindow]

Looks like it is time to build a timber frame wood shed winter is just around the corner. Good luck

[@shafrobert]

What a nice and gutsy couple. And Alyssa is easy on the eyes as an additional benefit of this channel !

[@Venzina1]

for moving the logs, you could run a couple cables/straps along the ground under the saw mill over to where the logs are, put the logs on top, and then loop the cable over top and back through a winch. then winding in the top cable will roll the log towards the mill, although you would need to anchor the cables to something heavy like another tree in tree background.

[@jedidiah5131]

There is a hydraulic lift that is made for these saws. Basically 4-6 teeth that you roll the log onto and it lifts the log onto the mill. The method I use is two high poles on each side of the mill with a cable attached and a hoist attached to the cable easy peasy.

[@robdavis4787]

I grew up working sawmills my family owns in a small town in arkansas. It wonderful to see that people who are not familiar with these types of equipment and methods are willing to learn and even share what you have learned with others. I appreciate you for posting this awesome video that shows how people are learning to better themselves and their community buy building instead of asking others to build for you. And thank you for showcasing that friends and family and community can be very strong in teaching one another and helping each other accomplish many tasks and goals. Have that kind of support is crucial in out world and I want to recognize the efforts you have made in that regard. The best part is you have a portable mill, I started working my family's Mills at twelve but they are stationary homemade Mills and they get boring to operate haha.

[@newfieingenuity]

Oh yah, wood-mizer! Second to none, great choice guys!

[@willywgb]

Hi guys I am so happy for you guys getting this wonderful Saw Mill. Please be safe and have fun. Also a big thank you to Rob and his wife for making this happen for this wonderful couple. They truly deserve it. Cheers Bill

[@stagejoop]

And yet again an awesome video! Good luck with the whole proces. Greetings from Holland!

[@tracyhayward1920]

Great that your thinking about the community and being able to help it grow also. You should be able to rent it out to other homesteading projects in town. Best wishes on your home build. Can't wait to see it all come together.

[@jonathancullari9612]

officially the best off grid youtube channel. cheers

[@tmbuchtel]

You betcha!

[@ForwardGuidance]

Cool, because somehow debt free includes luxuries like a saw mill and constantly renting an excavator and anything else you need. I keep wondering what "debt free" means to people that have a lot of money in savings vs. people that have none.

[@ForwardGuidance]

Respectfully, i think you missed the point, not going into debt is easy if someone has 300k in savings while building a house.... it means something entirely different for someone that has nothing in saving trying to do the same thing. So I'd like to know, are they doing this with savings or are they doing this with monthly income, because there is a difference. If with monthly income, when you run out of cash, you have to stop building until you get paid again. I'm not sure what you mean by "did I think their channel was only for my enjoyment." I'm merely asking a valid question instead of the typical "you guys are awesome" "love you guys" "missed you guys". We're allowed to asked real questions, are we, without being considered trolls or accused of thinking that we (I) think their channel was created solely for my enjoyment? EDIT: When someone says build debt free, I think build a little at a time as we get enough money to do so .... like as we get paid, as we get tax refunds, little windfalls of cash.

[@MrClarkisgod]

I don't thing its all savings. Pretty sure they both still have jobs, run a couple of businesses online, and Jesse has at least one rental property.

[@tracys7057]

D Dixon It's all about building a home without having a 30 Year mortgage, hence debt free. And what are you talking about with some have savings and others do not?....this isn't a place for a pity party.

[@billkiele5819]

This was simply a joyous event that you captured--I especially liked the lady who played a Norse Warrior with her log turner and headphones. Totally off the wall, totally funny. You also made clear to us how significant this milestone was, and how the community of builders embraced the event, too. Great job.

[@donlatimer5114]

I know they are expensive but you need to figure out a way to purchase a mini excavator like the one you had in your video, you will need it for moving logs, digging foundation trenches, moving beams around, setting them on your foundation, putting them on your sawhorses to the process for building. You could do many things with it, and maybe run it out to neighbors and friends

[@brotherlove100]

very few people actually can explain what "community" means. I think you have a pretty good grasp of it. And this mill grants you a huge lease on opportunity! way to go!!

[@Bobg425]

Only just found the site and really like the pair of you unlike many others on YT. Im a building profesional and find it interesting watching people finding their way through something like this,best of luck,Ill be watching.

[@justsumname]

You two are awesome. And I'm usually a jerk online.

[@justsumname]

so... about how much did the mill cost ? or, where did you get it from?

[@maineiacacres]

Under $10k! Not as much as I thought.

[@PetPatioDoors]

Itr feels amazing to use your own sawmill to cut your own lumber, I finally cut a few logs this week after owning a mill for over a year and setting it up on railway sleepers instead of concrete blocks, amazing guys keep at it and I hope to join a workshop to meet you some day

[@AusJackal]

I agree with Pat... don't waste that saw dust...

[@purelivingforlife]

+Jackal's Outdoor Channel Heck no! Not much goes to waste around these parts!

[@audiotechlabs4650]

My God! The skills you two are acquiring is fantastic! I am so impressed and jealous! You are so smart! Thankz

[@lbjackson5179]

Pretty cool, you gotta love the big toys. I'd love to mill my own lumber. You two could turn that mill into a business and make a good dollar with it.

[@ronaldnickell6110]

Check around for any farm auctions. You need a Farmall , or a Fordson tractor, with a front end loader . You can get forks to go in place of the bucket , and with luck a backhoe attachment. It will be invaluable for skidding logs ,loading the mill, and building the house.

[@rocksy71]

Awesome piece of kit, just a thought but could the finance stretch to buying a second hand mini digger till the builds complete then sell it to free up you capital investment and save in the long term on rental?

[@kalimunda77]

it always gives hope when people are not only thinking about themselves but also about others.

[@TheCominghome]

Debt free home? how much was the mill????

[@mikelawrenceish]

What a beautiful part of the world and a great community feeling. fantastic idea, I wish we would be able to do/ have this in the UK.

[@MARKE911]

The #1 most important question is. Have you named your Woodmizer lumber mill yet? Mine is named Sally. So when folks call and ask if I'm around. My wife tells them I am out with Sally. You really should give it a name. You will be dedicating so much of your time working with the lumber mill it's easier if you give it a name.

[@purelivingforlife]

I think it should have a name too... but it has to come naturally :-) And would we name it Sally or Steve??

[@DustyKorpse]

You guys are doing it! So happy for you and much respect! :)

[@JpPhysics0]

Being involved in the sawmill industry, keeping your blade from hitting dirt will help it to last longer. Some mills wash the logs or roll them in a pond. I liked the video! I would recommend building a pole-barn over your sawmill, not much fun to run a mill in the rain / snow.

[@robertfirestone5743]

the saw dust is good for the ground

[@DanSHJ45]

It is. But a note: the mill will make a LOT of sawdust. I added a hook to my sawdust chute, so that I can hang a 5 gallon bucket under it, that way I can spread the sawdust where i want it, and don't have a bunch of it at my feet around the mill.

[@jeffery19677]

Dude! Invest in the debarker attachment! It will help your blades last longer. I so wish I lived closer to catch one of your workshops. Thanks for sharing your journey. BOTH of you. :-)

"Young couple waste shows how an average rich couple can spend tons of money to live off the grid while updating hundreds of thousands of people"

[@bwillan]

Sweet sawmill. a real 36" cut capacity on that LT15Wide. You'll just need some support equipment (forklift) to help load and unload the logs and cants. That is the one downside to a manual bandsaw mill (all of the log handling/rolling). But it sure beats a chainsaw mill by a long shot.

[@joycejudd5109]

how wonderful!!! If I'm not mistaken, Simeon from Swedish Homestead - his father bought a wood-mizer about 15 years ago, and has used it to create some income, as he takes it to other properties and helps the owners trim their logs as well. Now, I think his may be more portable than yours, but you could simply have folks bring their logs to you. So excited for you!!!! (it's really going to happen! You're really going to build that house!!!)

[@SirRoland867]

Wow!!! This is sooo great for you, and the community around you.

[@Chris-yo4ks]

I am so envious......I have been looking at Woodmizers for many years. I just haven't had the actual need for a lot of lumber.....though I would probably use Black locust for lumber........since there is an abundance on the property here.

[@siouxgerowsays]

Great video as always - I get some little tidbit of information that I will need every episode. We probably will not build a home on our off grid property - just 3 season camping and tree farm, but if we're raising the resources, that's a good thing too. And if we need to build, you're definitely a resource!

[@NYNCMIKE]

Very fortunate for you folks,good luck and look forward to your progress

[@PrepItForward]

Very cool guys! I love this channel. I'm currently in the military and have another 5 years before I retire. What you are doing is my dream. I really enjoy all the tips you've shared along your quest for knowledge. Best of luck on your goal, with all you've already accomplished I'm sure you can reach it. Thanks for bringing me alone on the adventure.

[@catalpawoods8653]

Congrats you 2! You are correct that once you begin seeing the resources around, opportunity abounds. I am in that stage where I am looking for land, but also acquiring tools as I find them. Hmmm, yeah space is a consideration. lol. Personally, I wouldn't do things the same way that you guys have or the other channels I watch, but that is also based on me picking up land much closer to me than what many of the channels have done. Also ahead of me has to be the hardest part of homesteading. Finding a wife willing to jump in to such a project once they realize how much work is involved. Not an easy task. Lots of people talk about it, but actually doing it is another. That might be a great video idea for you 2. Keep up the great work!!! Ken C

[@judithvijfentwintig9760]

[@catalpawoods8653]

Hmmph. Wasn't expecting that.... Look me up on Facebook, same name, and send me a private message. Otherwise I would have to get Jesse and Alyssa involved, and I am quite sure they have much more important things to tend to. Who knows? See what happens!!!

[@catalpawoods8653]

Absolutely correct Tess!!! I always see women posting these positive thinking type posters about trust and commitment and all the other usual hubba-loo that gets women in a tizzy. It always starts with compatibility, commonality of dreams, shared values, etc. To get to these you have to build true intimacy, or you will never know the other person enough to find out what they really want. Somebody's dream will always be bigger. I post silly comments like that one from time to time. I also joke with every female that looks my way with a few of my "requirements." Noting if they know anyone like that send them my way. Funny though, networking works much better with man toys than finding a mate. Just bought a JD garden tractor. One day at the local flea market and I have already found several people that have or can put me in touch with those that have the accessories and implements I want for it. Mate, still looking. Anyone interested, message me on Facebook at Catalpa Woods. Pics and videos of me there. Worst case we make friends.

[@salt669]

[@rexmccomb7589]

so cool that you have friends help you set up and then have a pot luck its a great life with you mill

[@Mercmad]

In a former life,in another country I was a sawmill engineer. On the old style mills we had a table built from logs which was as high as the decks on the jinkers(log carrying trailers) . It's very simple just logs laid on the ground parallel with the sawmill carriage line with logs at right angles on top to the carriage. The jinker sides dropped down,allowing the logs to roll onto the bed of the table. The table is flat and level on top so you can roll the logs along it onto the sawmills carriage. On very large logs (6ft diameter back then !) we had a simple system involving a cable,snatch block and timber hook whose cable we would wrap around the log and roll it.by hooking the cable to carriage and pull the cable. So no need to have machinery to load the mill .The table was only 15' long .The Cant hook is a good simple tool which even my GG grandfather used when he worked as a pit sawyer but even the ones we used were wooden handled with hooks made in the mills own forge .not fancy like yours...it was a while ago ha ha

[@Wysiwyg101]

Great video. Loved it. It looked like a lot of fun happened while hard at work. Always a good thing. I also thought that when the Woodmizer husband and wife team said they'd see you in church out the window of his truck as they drove off was pretty cool as well. To me, that shows what community is really all about.

[@pansyjordan5508]

so happy for you both. can't wait to start seeing all the great work y'all will do. been missing your videos.

[@paulteirney3587]

I hope you have two spare Blades for the mill at if they wear you will run off and not give you a parallel cut. They may also break and leave you with a half cut timber. Great video and good luck in getting the timber done in time for you build.

[@outdoorcountryboyforlife6511]

thanks for the video. The woodmizer is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I purchased mine about a year and half ago. absolutley love it. Good luck abd be careful.

[@olgoatone15351]

A good tool to have when handeling timber is a set of "Bull Hooks". Look like a set of Ice tongs with a long handle so two(One on each side) People can team up on the Bull Hooks.

[@michael666661]

i love watching your videos and the journey that you guys are going on to live off-grid and to use the resources that you have around your house to be built look forward to seeing more of videos

[@masonmoberg6678]

woodmizer makes a great product we have that exact sawmill but electric we've milled thousands of logs and done many projects with it. We bought it awhile back and assembled from the pallet they delivered. I will say one thing it produces more scrap wood than you think we have at least 5 huge 6 foot + piles. Overall our sawmill has been one of the best purchases for our land. I hope it works as great as it did for us. Great day and godbless coming from Mason from Central Texas

[@dougharker9913]

[@vonRow]

wowsa! I just got done building a 20 foot deck for my band mill, and your rig makes mine look like tiny. Grats on the mill though. Now that the community knows you have one, get ready to be busy!

[@atlanticcanuck2826]

I can see you guys opting for the power feed in the future. While the mill is making a cut you can be prepping you next log, moving slabs or stickering your boards and cants, etc. Not to mention saving your wrist and elbow from all the cranking. It takes a several minutes to do one of those long cuts. You will find this time can be put to better use managing the other tasks that need to be performed around the mill. A great quality mill though. Love the video and the community spirit you guys have.
