PERFECT Timbers from a Huge Log

[@sixfootbear]

That stick from the centre shows the accuracy of your mill.

[@MessyTimes]

That was an excellent demonstration of maximizing good lumber from a single log. Thanks.

[@person4167]

Always love watching your milling videos, keep up the amazing work

[@falllineridge]

Thanks!

[@Kkuts37]

I held my breath, when the logs tumbled!! Great reflexes!

[@VVandBAND]

Great video! From Russia with Love!)

[@juliehenry6421]

One of the first things I emphasized when I was training people in the mini demention mill at CWS East Earl was if something is falling let it go and get out the way - beautiful pine

[@davidkilbourne5422]

I like how you explained the tentioner on the sawmill! great video!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

I am literally keeping a notebook of all of your advice and teaching! Thanks so much, Wes! 👍💪🙏

[@frankcherry3810]

I use to love it when you made a cut then poured water on the finished lumber. You and the rest of us were so impressed. #theolddays

[@falllineridge]

Ahhh, I'll try to do that again soon!

[@richardthornhill4630]

Nice planning and sawing. Good harvest.

[@singleshot2218]

Very interesting! That mill can be very accurate! God bless my friend! Stay safe!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@ViciousTiger11]

While these are videos entertaining and informative, I feel like their isn't enough appreciation given to your excellent "directing". Your establishing shots in a lot of these videos, like when you drive up on the location (something that would require you to drive up, set up the shot, then leave and then drive up again) feel very natural and really help the video feel more like a full story. However the shot that really got me to stop and write this is the one starting at 7:05. The "front" shot transitioning into the "back" shot was beautiful and flowed really well, as a viewer I really appreciate that "subtle" detail that lets us get up close versus you just using single camera position from start to finish.

[@williamroberts805]

I always enjoy your sawmill videos down here in North louisiana

[@droy3886]

That scared me and I could see that coming when the 6x6 fell towards you. Stay safe and God Bless, Daryl

[@josephmartin8160]

I thought the stick was cool too brother. Good job getting the 4-6x6's, God bless

[@MrFHLH]

Some wonderful timber, carry on the good work.

[@DDL2728]

So relaxing & informative & not long enough 😉😉😍👍 Great video, as always. Thank you, & God bless you and your family 💕 🙏

[@lesabre1972]

you have some nice pine Verner now too

[@tomsommer54]

Beautiful cuts.

[@trampster7306]

Nice Job Wes! 4 x 6"x6" pus a few bits of Veneer too! Stay safe & well! 👍👍

[@Fatlax73]

Don't worry I was thinking the same thing about the small inside off cuts. That's pretty cool!

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Looking awesome

[@larrybourne8430]

I am not an expert but I think I’ve read that to minimize warpage and get a beam from a log you need to be 2 inches away from the pith to be free of the heart or either have the pith centered as you have done on your other beams. Your beams will have pith in each corner and may cup. An experienced sawmill operator may want to comment further. Enjoy your videos and admire your work ethic.

[@lesabre1972]

your not the only one I think that stick is pretty cool too.LOL

[@leonardshultz4344]

I think I would have taken the little correction strip off one of the sides to remove a bit of the wane.

[@kenjett2434]

Wes those were some nice beams out of that log but you have watch out for those dangerous Fallline dead falls. Perfect example why everything around a mill can be dangerous at least your still quick on your feet. Stay safe out there ok.

[@brucewelty7684]

Y'all needed a glass of sweet tea. OH we are now using Luzianne Decaf. Not bad!

[@hotarutomoeofficial]

すごいクボタトラクタ!!

[@tomp538]

Nice. Between $120 to $150 worth of lumber cut today, maybe more.

[@zackwoodworking498]

so great

[@laneritc]

Wes, order the belt!!!

[@falllineridge]

Done!

[@lindaisenegger163]

I found the entire process interesting......also interesting that you might max out overall size of certain cuts and slice some interesting project veneers within the those internal can'ts so to speak...

[@e020443]

Why didn't you take that little 1/4" slice off the exposed side of the cant rather than off the best part of the log? It would have reduced the amount of bark showing on the end, at least a little bit, seems to me.

[@hobsondrake]

was here to ask the same question. wouldn't it have been better to take a little off the two sides with the most wane than to do it the way you did?

[@jerrylittle8922]

Nice Longleaf

[@charlessessions7293]

Nice sawing !! I would love to have a saw !! :)

[@kevinashby3784]

Nice

[@jimmowers7675]

Great video, great looking 6x6 posts. Do you ever cut cedar trees? Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@falllineridge]

Rarely. They are not as abundant as pine here, unfortunately.

[@jimmowers7675]

@@falllineridge , where is here?

[@buddyreed2623]

Wes, I have seen you push a lot of slabs off that hit the tire. Is there a way to build a protective and reinforced slide so that the tire will not be hit? It just seems to me that repeated hits could do some damage to the tire, wheel or bearings. Have good days!

[@falllineridge]

I don't really like it when it hits the tire either, but I haven't noticed it doing damage (at least not yet). I'm sure something could be built to protect it.

[@ramshchik]

in Russia we laugh at this sawyer))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@pigacres]

Let me know how those timber turn out in 6 months. Just curious how the grain is going to dry

[@Twangg1]

Wes... rule of thumb for cants... the largest cant you can cut from a log is .7 X Diameter of log at small end...

[@tonygrimes13]

Close enough, actual would be the Square Root of (small end Diameter x small end Diameter divided by 2) - I definitely learned something at school!!! lol

[@Twangg1]

@@tonygrimes13 simply the sin or the cos of the 45 deg angle times the Hypotenuse... hence .7071 X diameter of the log...since kerf is .125, the .071 s prtty inconsequentiali

[@bobdriggers6111]

That's a toothpick for Alabama fans!🤣

[@danclifton7870]

Wes, what do you do with all the lumber that you mill and stack?

[@falllineridge]

What I'm milling here is my friend Eric's half. The stuff I mill for myself I take home and use it for stuff around the house (pig shed, shed expansion project, house remodel, raised herb garden, etc.). Some of it I sell.

[@stevt100]

Do you do anything to your boards to keep the bugs from getting into them?

[@falllineridge]

As long as they get stacked and covered they last a very long time. These timbers are not mine, so someone else will have to cover them.

[@billhatcher2984]

Check out holly ridge homestead they show a great fly trap the episode has fly trap in the title I don't know how to send a video or I would but you should check it out

[@sirrick59]

I can't understand why you took the shims out of the middle, instead of turning the cants and taking the wane from the other sides. You may have ended up with 6x6 with no wane,

[@bunkhindman3241]

Your mill seems to be in an isolated area, do yall not have ANY problems with thieves, kids or just dammm sure bad. Folks around there. And there lies another question , what state are yo in??? If ok to ask.

[@craigmooring2091]

I tried to tell you those two were gonna fall off if you tried to move 'em like that, but did you listen to me? Noooo! You never do.

[@falllineridge]

Ha!

[@JasonBristow2003]

Do you know how long the log was?

[@falllineridge]

Not sure, probably around 13'.

[@frankcherry3810]

Measure twice… cut once

[@tonygrimes13]

For the Algorithm.

[@jbbrown7907]

Not the way I would have cut it. I would have minimized wayne.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I thought you were going to get 6 4x4's? (kidding)

[@falllineridge]

Ha!

[@tonygrimes13]

With that log it would be 9 4 x4's - Apologies but couldn't resist!!!
