How to scale logs

[@lars277]

The work your family does is hard. It is respectable. Hard work is redeeming in so many ways.

[@desertdweller4951]

Your Mom and Dad are incredible people. I have no doubt that in your DNA you will find the word SUPER. GOD BLESS 🙌

[@samuelwhittemore5915]

Very informative. Now I understand how a scaling stick works. I searched the internet for explanations, but it wasn't until I found your video that it was all made clear. Tanks so much!

[@AlmostItalianBrothers]

Woah awesome! Thanks for the video. I have good news... we have been looking at a property in VT and today was the day! We decided we wanted to buy it!! Its a 200+ acre farm with a forest management plan (so we can harvest a ton of hemlock and spruce) I’ll make a video on it in the next few weeks but I’m so excited to have our own farm and sawmill. I look forward to your vids because I’m learning a lot so keep up the good work! -Antonio

Good luck Antonio. How did it work out as of 9/13/21?

[@AlmostItalianBrothers]

@bluenetmarketing great you can check out our “Vermonters” channel and see what we’re up to.

[@Wheelloader__]

That was interesting. I work at a sawmill. I don’t scale logs but now I know a little more about it. We use doyle scale. We’re in pa too. Central Pennsylvania. Great video.

[@pamtnman1515]

Buying timber on Doyle is theft from the landowner and the logger. It is an antique system that is only around because it gets log buyers more material than they are paying for. International 1/4 is the most modern and the most accurate

[@byronc8986]

Enjoyable and informative. Great job.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Love your videos . I see your model made another appearance .

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Easy listening. Great videos.

[@alanbregar]

Thank you for showing me what all those numbers on the end of the logs meant Emerald. I had left a comment a while back asking what they meant and now I know.

[@keithfrench2754]

where do you purchase incoming logs, and how long, or are you purchasing longer logs?

[@meyou9655]

Nice Porter. Great explanation. We covered metric and imperial system here in school. (Cords, board feet, cubic meters).

[@tyronedeasbrailsford951]

Very informative! Thanks

[@njblanchard2618]

how much trim do you allow

[@janrusdec]

Do you sort Them after scaling? Here in europe we do that zo we can work raster.

[@85ccmaster]

Thank you for making the video! I was one that requested it

[@btrent9244]

Educational topic. Good job. 👍🇺🇸

[@fredericktownhomestead8094]

We use the doyle when buying standingbtimber. We measure the logs at the mill with the international.

[@yelberthosegon7605]

hi every one !!!! actualy im a grader lumber . but now im going to learn scaling . so ill be grateful for your help !!

[@gregorydaugherty2405]

The log that had the big split can u saw down to the crack or is it not worth it

[@independentthinker8930]

Love this channel

[@williamangus8163]

How close do you get to the painted number in actual board footage

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

It is the actual board footage.

[@williamangus8163]

@@lumbercapitallogyard I don’t doubt that. I’m just curious if you’ve ever figured out how much footage you actually got out of a log after you’ve milled it. I have a circular sawmill that takes a 1/4 inch with every cut so I can’t get what the log would scale out at I have more waste than a band mill. Just curious. Awesome videos by the way. 👍

[@TaylorAkins]

@@lumbercapitallogyard thank you for log grating

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

I always learn something from you videos thanks. now are you using this to buy logs or to charge a customer for cutting them or both. and what is a good price to charge someone to cut there logs if they supply the logs and bring them to you. by the board foot and what is a board foot. thanks

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

These are purchased logs either from the land owners we harvest for or from other loggers.

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

We charge an hourly rate for milling customer’s logs.

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

@@lumbercapitallogyard Thank you

[@kaceesavage]

Is that a special type of spray paint?

[@billherrick3569]

On average what percentage of logs in your yard are purchased vs your own production? Do you purchase logs mostly from small loggers and farmers?

[@deweydurrell4835]

How .any 2x4 will I get out of a 251 scale

[@mtrcycldude]

Do you ever reconcile your estimate to see if it really works? And do you charge for the estimate or the actual board feet you end up with? It has to be 10 times harder to count board feet after you saw it up.

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

Yes we do, and it does.

[@centexan]

Figuring board feet of a stack of lumber is pretty easy if you know the formula.

[@TaylorAkins]

@@lumbercapitallogyard how do you grade lumber?

[@njblanchard2618]

So you use scribner scale not Doyle?

[@lostcreekcabin2021]

I use an app. That bases the board feet on diameter inside the bark and length as you do. I wonder how accurate the app. Is ? Interesting 👍

[@stevenfenton8137]

Very interesting cheers

[@makapalatrace8385]

Very interesting Thanks

[@AlmostItalianBrothers]

What kind of log trailer is that?

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

Metavic

[@AlmostItalianBrothers]

Ok thx

[@myrontaylor4250]

Are you in a windy area? What is the shake from?

[@johnvelas70]

2 questions: 1.) where did youn's get the trigger nozzle thingamajig? I've been looking for one. 2.) I'm one of the weird ones that thinks we need to conver to metric, who's with me?

[@makapalatrace8385]

Walmart Mine was a rustoleum brand for like $10-12. Never used anything else again.

[@johnvelas70]

@@makapalatrace8385 thanks

[@njblanchard2618]

hi again I asked you pls what scale are you using to scale your logs? scribner c or doyle ? which end do you scale

[@lumbercapitallogyard]

We use scrubner and we scale the small end.

[@nellayema2455]

She covered all that in the video.

[@wayneweis653]

Meauring logs? Is this to find out the value of logs before sawing?

[@antoniobenntz1103]

para que le ponen número a los.tronco

[@martinbeland9342]

What are your money ambitions with your job at the mill.How much are you paid by the boss? Do you share profits?

[@ronin2963]

Look at her write with that spray paint! There should be a subway car in NYC with name on it. Literally, go to NYC and advertise street style. (but don't break the law)

Why such loud music along with speech, difficult to catch up for someone who does not have English as his language
