Good video Nathan, glad all has gotten mostly back to normal. One thing I think you need to come to terms with is that Momma does not work for you, you work for her. Be thankful she allows you to be in her presence. 🤣

I just want to say, i JUST USED MY 1ST JOE MAIN TURBO 7 blade, OMG it ate through and oak log like butter. It made my homemade sawmill cut like a pro.

[@donaldadams5342]

Good video Nathan & good comments at the end on stacking the lumber to air dry. Bit hard not to double handle at times because there is only ONE of you. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@jeanneprice6736]

Yes…I wondered about the chickens. Glad they made it.

[@Exiledk]

Glad to hear you're getting back to normal. Glad to hear the chickens are OK too....

[@clarenceburton9654]

The property damage can always be fixed , but thank goodness that you and your family are safe !!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Very true!

[@rogerr1296]

Those stickers you were talking about are furring strips. They run somewhere between $1-$2 a piece and come in bundles of like 6 to 8 I think. I used them as floor and ceiling trim in my shop. Looks pretty good actually, gives it that rustic look and doesn't break the bank. They look like they're made out of the sawmill rejects so sometimes you have to pick the best of the bunch or at least be sure to put the best side towards the outside....lol.

[@retiringrenegade9874]

Glad You were able to recover from the storm Brother! Well Done Nathan!

[@garycorrick]

I'm glad your chickens survived!

[@jimlane6335]

When you go to do your driveway to the mill, use your box blade or whatever grading device you have and remove any topsoil from the tract. Then by Crusher Run. When you grade that down you might want to rent a roller too. Grade it, then wet it real well and THEN roll it in. It will set like crazy and last quite a while, especially since it seems to be fairly flat. And you might get some of the locals who do state asphalt work to bring you some loads of millings to top the crusher run with. If you do that you'll have a permanent solution to that problem. I have mentioned this before when you were putting down 57 stone on another driveway.

[@briggsahoy1]

But you and your family are safe and sound, RB, Nova Scotia.

[@peggyward397]

Looks great Nathan, glad you were able to get help on the chicken coop and that you got a lot cleaned up around your place and the neighbors. Stay safe and hope you don't have any more storm damage around there. Fred.

[@Candmsawmill]

Love yourvideos you inspired me to get my sawmill it took me a few years but my dream has came true time for work now

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

Pete Peterson, an uncle of mine and a houseframer, would use metal straps normally used on crates. To tie the rafters to the walls. Mind you, he did not settle for tying the rafters to the plates. He ran the strapping from one end of the rafters All the way from one end to the other down the walls and under the floor plate. He would do that to every other rafter.

[@brucebello2049]

Thanks Nathan, good video, very fast recovery, well done, take care

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

I live in bluff city TN. I have 20 acres of hardwoods on very hilly ground...it's mostly oaks....and all I have is a blue 660 with a 52 inch bar and an Alaska style mill....I intend to cut slabs with it and when I get 4000 dollars I want to get an entry level woodmizer!.......I like and am subscribed to your channel!

Nice. I get my metal from Bluff City

[@randydobson1863]

hello nathan its is randy and i like is cool thanks friends randy

[@pinwizz69]

Mango Bango, I have learned so much about the various aspects operating a saw mill from watching your and Matt's channels. It's something I'd have like getting into had I continued living in northern Michigan. As is, I'm just gratefull I can enjoy watching a couple of pro's on KZbin. That was some really beautiful wood. Nice character to it to make some furniture or for flooring. I'm glad your chickens were ok. They might not lay eggs for a couple of days but they will recover.

[@doylerabjohn3435]

Glad to see you was able to clean up after the storm quickly......I am still working on the storm Ida....I have pines trees down everywhere on 4 acres tree farm 😠

[@stephaniewilson3955]

You are right. The storms will be more frequent, more violent and you would be wise to sort that roadway out.

[@bowbear4229]

Glad you got your place cleaned up after the storm. Oh my gosh , that white oak was beautiful, I bet it smelled amazing when you were sawing!

[@robertweber1393]

I have a chainsaw mill and I use "cutting sticks" from an industrial paper cutting machines. You can get them free (dozen doughnuts) from large scale print shops. They are plastic, square in shape (1/2") and have a vent hole down the center. You can also get them online thru 'bindery parts' search.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i am with you on the mud. Saw, stuff, slide, sticker, stack .good job john

[@jakevalent6180]

one heck of a sawdust mound.

[@ronsafreed2400]

glad you got it back in shape...if a wind storm comes through here,,it will take everything out..had some rough ones in 40 years...im high here,but down in..i think it helps some..

[@johnelliott6738]

If you have sleep deprivation from the stress of mud just watch some of Mike Morgan's videos as he's always spreading stone.

[@dennismullens41]

You milled my fantasy floor in this edition. As far as getting rich off the chee-kin’s, at $4.89/dozen retail you just might be right. And finally, leave momma kitty alone. If she didn’t love you, she wouldn’t follow you around. 😻

[@tommychew6544]

You may be right. Had one like that, she was just her own self, and I was never able to make out what she was after. Got another one like that now and I think I'm getting wiser. She started letting me pet her as long as I pet her first like it sets the pecking order as her being at the top of it as the momma cat. It took months to see results though.

[@jjj32801]

We have friends who raised chickens for eggs. Did this for years. Couple months ago they sold them along with the chicken run and house. Wow talk about bad timing. Eggs are now a luxury in our family.

[@garykersteiner4936]

Talking about stickers Nathan, I wonder if in the history of Sawyers if anyone ever uttered the words "I have too many stickers". Nope. I make my own stickers out of dry waste framing lumber. 1x1. Don't have access to a kiln so I air dry . 1x1 will allow more air through the stack and the wood will dry a little faster. I am a,wood worker so I select the air dried boards for a piece and take them in the house to dry further before starting a new piece. Has always been a successful way to do it for me. You have a great set up there and I enjoy your channel. Keep on keeping on.

[@NeilSoulo]

I like the ironic title of this video. I had quite a chuckle when I read it.

[@wdwtx2.0]

Glad the storm damage was no worse.

[@paulvanloon1094]

Nathan, I can’t believe how dirty the mill is. You are normally so good at keeping all your spaces and equipment spotless. I know you have some pretty horrible weather, but it was dirty before that.

[@JoeFeser]

I think the old school name for your "stickers" are furing strips. At least that is what we used to call them in the late 70s and 80s. A lot of time we used them to tack to the wall before well put up paneling.

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

When I worked in the sawmill, all the centre of the logs was cut into 12" Square timbers purposely for export to Japan and Korea, once we change too the USA cut the logs were pruned logs , all moulded especially for the home depot,

[@SilverBack.]

[@troytreeguy]

I had a bad experience with hateful band mills when I was younger. I’ll stick to our circle saw, however I sure do like watching you and Lumber Capital knock out some fine sawing. 😂❤

[@johnthreefifteen]

You can set up an Excel sheet and enter each log, date, species, and location to avoid forgetting a log and enter when you sticker the logs and when you need to put them in the kiln. It will be time on the computer well spent.

[@PhlegmBrulee]

Why would you pay Microsoft for anything?

[@mikethompson4336]

Nathan, maybe have Mike Morgan, your buddy from Outdoors with the Morgans do a cooperative video on your road to the sawmill. I know he has soon a lot of work on his road and on the road in West Virginia. JUST A THOUGHT

That sawdust pile is getting up there!

[@davidanjo9752]

Good morning from the wilds of Northern Canada (currently an invigorating -30°C with the wind chill 🥶). Glad to see everything coming back together for you and your family. One observation - I note a fair bit of rust buildup on the "fingers"; normal wear and tear?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Hey that’s sawdust stuck to the grease joints 👍

Can you do a video on how you market your finished lumber? And how you price it to make a profit.

[@jameslemasters9792]

Is there any way you could show how you sharpen and set a blade? Thanks

[@cromagnatron7155]

Greetings OOTW. Thank you for your videos. It would be nice if you show how you operate the sawmill sometimes. How to set up the cuts you want and using what looks to be joysticks. I didn’t know I wanted a sawmill until I started watching your videos.

Atleast with the roof metal you can put it on some flat concrete and run over it to make it flat to use on top of the lumber you are air drying

[@pamelawoodall5891]

Nathan, I think you should try to pretty-up your hen house to make it more attractive !!

[@stanwooddave9758]

Hello Nathan, just wanted to offer an idea for your "Sticker-Boards." I would cut them down to maybe one inch (or bigger) Triangle(s.) This would offer just approx. 1/8" inch contact on the top of the Triangle(s,) and would reduce the bottom contact to one inch. The idea comes from when I worked a Boeing Aircraft here in Washington state, we used smaller (1/2" to 3/4") Triangle's to hold up small parts for spray painting. FYI Architect Triangle Rulers are approx. one inch. My Architect Triangle Ruler measure's 0.967" in.

[@xxdragan1969]

How did you cut them in shape of the ruler??

[@stanwooddave9758]

@@xxdragan1969 Simple as pie. Wink, wink, hold my beer. LOL Let's say you want to cut into triangle's some store brought 1 x 4's. Using a table saw, tilt the table saw blade to 45 degree's. Let's assume that when you do tilt your blade to 45 degree's, when standing in the operator's position to the table saw, the blade tilt's to your upper left, i.e. top of blade is to your left, bottom of blade (non- visible) to the operator is tilted closet to your bottom right side. Your 1st (first) cut should be only enough that the blade will cut from bottom to top of material. Approx. 3/4" in. wide cut, or slightly less. take note during this process, what has now become the top and the bottom of the board during the / this cut. 2nd step is to simply invert (flip / twirl) the board position closet to you, to now; furthest from you position. Keeping the now beveled edge closet to the table saw fence, and the rest of the board {approx. 3" in. or more} mostly past (over-hanging) the saw blade. Your 2nd (second) cut width should be approx. 7/8" in. wide, assuming that you want the top of the triangle to have approx. 1/8" in. width. Adjust according to you like / taste. Now rinse and repeat. Give me my beer back. LOL, wink, wink.

I have heard that pine stickers are bad about staining the lumber, especially if it has the blue stains in it. have you ever heard that?Man that laser is nice sure shows up good. I think I'm gonna get one on my new mill. Glad the chickens are good, with the price of eggs need to keep them happy.. lol

[@markheintz1878]

Stickers should always be hardwood. When I was at the mill, we cut all ours from low grade red or white oak to avoid staining, especially on white woods like maple , birch and basswood.

[@InArcadiaSum]

Glad the tidying-up is proceeding OK. We don't get too many tornadoes in the UK, but wouldn't having narrower eaves on your chicken house give any wind less to get under and also perhaps avoid any wing-type "lift effect"?

[@almonjacob3496]

Nathan, how do we learn the methods to dry various species? Times, heat, etc.

Funny you should say that. There are two Koehler's that just popped up at an auction near me. One is a 14 hp 12 foot board length 21 inch board width. The other is a 14 hp, 12 foot board length, 28 inch board width. If I can get in cheap I might try it. Are they any good?

[@keen1957]

Sawdust, sawdust and then some. My friend have you ever looked into a sawdust pellet making machine? Glad the chickens are all ok.

[@markheintz1878]

everyone asks about making pellets from wood waste. What people don't know is that any material used for pellets needs to have a moisture content of 10 %, which requires drying in most cases.

[@cabinman]

I’m very curious where you sell your lumber, particularly the larger live edge slabs. I just got a mill for my own lumber but I will probably get a few large unique slabs from time to time and I’m just wondering if it would pay off to find a buyer for those and where to look. I’m a few hours west of you.

[@AaronTurnwald]

I have heard that using dry stickers to stack wet wood will cause staining. Only thing i can say is i do get slight surface staining, but i have always used dry stickers. Do you think cutting wet stickers out of the same lumber your stacking would eliminate the surface staining once boards are done drying in the kiln? It seems the dry stickers pull moisture out faster than the unstickered part of the boards.

[@likearockcm]

you must not have watched the video. he said the exact opposite of what you wrote.

[@AaronTurnwald]
