How To Turn Logs Into Boards - Portable Chainsaw Mill

[@NOREASTER_OUTFIT]

Congrats on passing the 400K Subscribers, your so right about "don't project your fear onto other people abilities"! If no one was ready to take calculated risks, nothing would get done in this world.

[@wranglerstar]

+TheStCats yes! And thank you.

[@jeffersoneinstein9641]

I realize that it's just my opinion and not worth much but I very much appreciate a channel like yours that doesn't show the same stagnant content time after time. You have one of my favorite channels because you include a variety of topics and throw in humor and often the perfect music as you continually do interesting things. Thank you for doing your thing your way, it really is better that way especially when it's what you actually want to do.

[@BoilerRoomRadio]

I will be forever grateful, that I found your channel....you have changed my perspective....not only of myself, but as to how I view the world.

[@CalebMayfieldMHF]

My wife and I are just now starting to go through your videos and I can't tell you enough how much we enjoy them.

[@robertthomas3909]

Love watching these old videos Cody!

[@GarnetFluerDeLys]

I'm giddy with anticipation. I love it when you work with the mill and the self milled lumber. And I've been immersing myself in blacksmithing. Can't wait for this project.

[@TheRandomMan210]

Hello Wranglerstar I really liked the outros that you did with the drone and I bet others do to. please bring it back. Keep up the good work!

[@jeepkkidd9697]

Cody, you brought up a great point in this video. Too many people nowadays have their minds set, so much, on being careful or cautious that they are simply unable to finish all of their work. We as humans need to (sometimes) worry less, bare down, and just get the work done.

[@jamesmikkelson7636]

I'm always behind in the comments as I watch more and more of your videos--and I have to say that I learn something every single time--but I agree with your rant about being sensible and not overly fastidious about safety safety safety. Using good judgment based on experience seems to be what is needed. Great job again!

[@connimac]

You can load a boat onto a ship, but you can't load a ship onto a boat. That was what the Chief Boatswains {pronounced Bos'n} Mate told me back in 1971. I really enjoy your postings. Thankyou for being a bright light on the horizon.

[@dorothycook7938]

TOTALLY AGREE w/home vet abilities....my family like yours considers our pets to be a family member, we too would NEVER haphazardly put them at risk to "save a few bucks", with that written, our daughter has worked for a vet, she has trained and learned quite a bit, if our dogs have an issue we call her and, follow her guidance, it has ALWAYS been the way to go. Our son is a BSA Eagle Scout, has volunteered for 6 years for a small county fire department and is now going to school to become their full time Paramedic, he is more then capable to care for basic wound issues for his family (human/animal).....we have become a society of dependency.........KUDOS for taking The Path Less Traveled........It not only saved you a vet bill, it saved Ms Pants from unnecessary trauma from having strangers work on her and Jack was there to learn as well.......I'm on YOUR side, WE CAN make a difference, in many areas of life and build a stronger Community of Self Sufficiency, giving strength to our family/friends/neighbors.....KEEP UP the GREAT EXAMPLE!!!!!

[@1timby]

A little story for you Cody. I've been in the IT world for many years. When my son was old enough to help, I had him watch & then assist with PC builds. Then when he was a little older & his PC would have problems, I would help him to fix them. Now he's a manger in IT at a big Tile manufacture. SO Cody I'm sure that Jack will end up as a fine man. AS he has a great family & good role models.

[@marvinjones8692]

I wish to tell you that You and your Ladies enthusiasm and enjoyment in your videos shine through. One of my favorite channels because of this and the varied projects, my favorite was the jogging bridge made for Mrs W.

[@claypigeon001]

Nice to see you using the chainsaw mill again.variety is the spice of life and it's always interesting to have a little glimpse of the life style you enjoy.

[@TRAVERZULU3]

Cody & WS"s Been with you since wrangler barn days and not only are we glad you came back to KZbin, but your evolution in content and format has been great as well! FYI Nice job on patching up Ms. Pant's!

[@BlameItOnGreg]

It's really great to see you using the DJI. It's definitely a bit bumbly right now, but you'll get the hang of how you can best use it as you go. I really like that you're always evolving.

[@jefflabrozzi9592]

I think evolution of the channel is a must. Everyone needs to grow as time marches onward - including subscribers.

[@makerwares]

Cody, and this is only one man's opinion, this is you in your element. Great content.

[@EBSoftball-sd3vw]

Timber framing AND blacksmithing? Sounds like a great series to me!

[@ryanblevins9905]

I love watching your videos mr. wranglerstar . I live in hot and muggy Florida . Watching your videos makes me want to build my own cabin in the mountains of West Virginia where I'm from

[@CharlieParker1959]

On the subject of dog stitching Cody years ago there were no vets you could call on so you would have to do it yourself well done and thanks for sharing that video. As for this video safety advice is always welcome by me how many people aren't here today because they never listened to safety advice so please if it is necessary you give it to us my friend.

[@Markus314159]

Thank you for the video and I am grateful that there is at least one other person in this world that has the same view on blanket statements about safety.

[@markduell691]

Wish we could say it was cool here! 86-90 degrees with 65% humidity plus. It won't let up. Keep up the good work Cody.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Cody, I never thought I would fine a like minded person. I too do not like the heat, here in the UK we are in the middle of our summer and everyone is out sunbathing as it is so hot. I cant go out until the late afternoon as I cannot stand the heat. people say I am mad when it is cool and I say that it is my perfect temperature. Keep up the great videos

[@treycemccrery7581]

I love these videos. You are truly a inspiration man, so many people are such baby's now a days.

[@onegreenev]

People got by for countless generations without doctors and did just fine. Glad to hear all is well and healing is in progress. Good on you. :) Im liking this chain saw milling.

[@RaptorJesus]

- cough - You mean except for the incredibly high child mortality rates, astounding levels of death in childbirth, illnesses killing people before their 30s, any sort of serious cut generally developing gangrene and requiring amputation and you hope you catch it before it goes septic.. Yeah, no. People as little as just a century ago, if given the choice, would always choose to live in our time, because they don't have a romantic view of their own.

[@charlesjarmanii]

You made my day with your positive attitude. Thanks

[@DanielSchaller]

I really do enjoy this channel with diverse content of topics. The format that is done with story telling as work is being done, I find is truly relaxing. I also like that very little fast forwarding is used. Thank you for this channel.

[@jimkrueger212]

I look at all the You Tube channels I watch as a bus ride, if I don't like the ride get off the bus. If you don't continue to grow and change don't think I would continue to watch. Like what you do. Also think Mrs W & yourself are raising a fine young man.

[@mukymik6414]

It comes as no surprise that you had adverse comments on putting "Miss Pants" back together as we are in a society of we can't or not allowed to do a lot of things, mainly due to Health and Safety. Our predecessors carried a lot of these types of repair due to cost of vets and also distances to vets. You are quite right about making the "call" you know your capabilities and the procedures job done. Looking forward to the next project, keep up the good work.

[@joshualuna8382]

Hey Cody I work on a cattle ranch and we have to do a lot of the veterinary tasks ourselves. Your right if you have the confidence your not limited, I have no veterinary schooling but have the ability to inject medication suture wounds and other odd ball tasks. I wish more people could see life our way. By the way great hat, could be a true Texan

[@wranglerstar]

Thank you Joshua.

[@theobscurity9392]

It's incredibly satisfying to watch the chainsaw cut right through that wood. I really need to get a chainsaw mill setup one day

[@mikecaffery8832]

People will do what they do, I just hope you keep doing what you do. Thank you for making this video. God bless! Oh, taking a tour of the Benchmade factory sounds great.

[@blindsniper1969]

I like the edited vids better than live streams. They're just more fun to watch

[@scottlange3548]

You have probably heard this a million times but keep making "your" videos, great content and variety! Thanks

[@chrislabar22]

This is why I love this channel. FINALLY! Someone who I can identify with opinion wise!

[@jellypie1016]

i love that you are not scared to stand up for yourself from the bad comments, good on you. keep up the great work :)

[@JohnBodoni]

The new camera angle(s) from the drone really add to the production value. Nice!

[@scruff_uk]

Hmm...raised bed boxes for your good lady? Just to say I'm a recent subscriber and fined your generosity and enthusiasm, highly informative and charming. All the best to you and your family for their support and patience. Kind regards from West Yorkshire, UK. Thom

[@chipedwood]

Really enjoy the videos, keep up the good work. "We all accept looking backwards we have changed as people, we must accept that in the future we will change too."

[@tylerwhitman1139]

400k, dang I've been watching your videos for over 2 years now. Wow, time flies.

[@mamalbug]

Just got my first Stihl last weekend. It's a 311. First thing I did was mill some oak. Absolutely love it.

[@nestoj]

Video of milling and framing those timbers is what led me to subscribe years back. I'd love seeing what becomes of them.

[@4andronicus]

Absolutely love the look of that countryside. You are very lucky.

[@Richard76773]

This could be a reason to help convince Mrs. Wranglerstar for you to get a woodmizer LOL! P.S. Thank you for another awesome video!

[@tracywalters5462]

This is a great segment. Thanks for showing us the whole enchilada, warts and all. And yes, I agree about the Safety Sallies, you get nowhere if you don't evaluate the risk and make a decision based on experience and need. If people can't, they should just build a big steel box and live in it.

[@jamesrumford1121]

keep up the nice work,. and also,if i could, i would like to thank your mother and father for doing what so many parents DONT and thats making a Good person for this world, something yourg parents dont even think about tell its to late,, people like u help me become a better father,and thank you for that.. Thanks again , James

[@patrickmccartney710]

My dog had a cut on his ear a few months ago bleeding pretty bad. I cleaned it up just like I would my own cut and super glued it shut. Everyone who saw him said it is perfect and now you can't tell it ever happened. The last video inspired me to try and learn to provide stitches if there's an emergency. Love the analogy of being safety Sally being equated to being smart nowadays (looking at anti-vaxxers).

[@MrOmcif]

Your explanation of a ship and boat is one of the ways to describe it. I always was told and repeated this that ship float in the Navy and boats sink. That is a sip in a surface vessel and a boat is a submarine, hence that is why we call our surface fleet ships and our subs boats.

[@duane1234561]

Definitely agree about people being sissies these days. Lots of my friends are to scared to fix a door knob without a trained professional.

[@tonymiller5178]

when i was 15 i went out and helped my grandfather put up a barbed wire fence on his cousin's farm i also managed to cut up my leg on the barbed wire

[@Praxis4RageBaiting]

well done. barbed wire need rights too.

[@aloiseaux767]

Barbed wire lives matter.

[@Qb0ne]

Great comment. I (myself) hate needles but as an engineer I do enjoy fixing, especially when you can do it yourself. If you have equal knowledge to the person your going to pay to fix it why not do it yourself.

[@JamesMorris-os7kb]

+Tony Miller "What is the goddamn holdup Mr. Sobel!?" "A fence, sir! (Goddamnit) A barbed wire fence!"- Band of Brothers Hahaha

[@graysgarage2142]

Mr Cody if I was you I wouldn't listen to the negative comments at all. I believe that you are a professional at what you do and I have used the knowledge from your videos in real live and have had better out comes than what would have happend if I would have done it my way I just want to say I love your videos keep up the good work.

[@griffine.3703]

That drone tracking thing is super AWESOME!

[@eatinginternet8690]

Nice choice of music, I always enjoy the background music in your videos.

[@jackreeves3001]

Oldies but goodies, enjoyed the video.

[@MrLifeissomething]

Your newer format has kept me much more interested.

[@alexandermckinnon4462]

A lot of youtubers inspire me but you inspire me in a totally different way and I'm glad i am able to watch your videos ps I have been a little less scadred of new thing because of you Monday I started highschool and I went in there ready and more prepared then when I went to middle school and that's thanks to you

[@alexandermckinnon4462]

* scared

[@Allikattoo]

I loved Jack's video but when he took the hatchet to that post I thought OH NO! You and Mrs. W. have raised a really good kid there.

[@Daynaleo1]

101 here in Austin TX today. I am happy you are enjoying cool weather.

[@ColoradoKrone]

This will be the most beautiful dining table. And with iron pedestals and peg nails will be so great.

[@brandonrich6342]

I'm not 100% sure as to why, but I enjoyed every min of this.

[@mktward]

Ah! I can smell the Fir!!! Lovely to see you working on some timbers, looking forward to seeing what you're working on. Tell Jack I think he's doing awesome on all his videos!

[@marshalldavis4455]

Wonderful video. I really like the added personal feelings at the end.

[@annalog88]

Another homestead video, I love it! This is what I subscribed to :)

[@edadpops1709]

hey jack did a great job, props to you jack,youre learning jack. Practice makes perfect.

[@jimforsyth2.]

love that you fix your own problems keep it up

[@ramsey2334]

With regards to doubters, I find that so many people approach a situation and if they don't know how to address it, or lack the information, they just automatically accept defeat. People seem to have no resourcefulness, they won't even try things. This seems to apply to most areas. I'm of the mindset of; find the info, investigate, and give it a shot. I don't know if it's laziness, or just an inability to see beyond current knowledge or experience. It infuriates me. I'm not special or anything, I just hate being told I can't do something without having tried. Or "that's the way we've always done it". Anyway I'll stop ranting. I love you're mindset, you make do with the tools you have or improvise and get the job done, try new things, Even failure provides good experience. God bless you and your family.

[@brucelawrence4083]

If we don't evolve constantly we will be left behind. Keep them comin.

[@neogerula]

The same,congrats on your way of feeling and thinking.Wonderful place for living and way of life.

[@coldwe]

As long as I am learning I am ok with the channel changing. I have learned a lot and continue to do so. With change comes the chance for great opportunity. So change on Cody.

[@seventyeleventy4776]

Good work! I agree with you about the people doubting there ability. Keep up the good work!

[@StoneysWorkshop]

I think of your end cards as "back porch sessions" it is as if we are sitting on your back porch together having a nice conversation after a long day of work

[@tb91506]

Watched jacks video i really enjoyed it, good to see young man work and get a task completed!

[@DarylRosenberg01]

I think i know what you are making! Dining Room Table. Good idea. Looking forward to this series. And it will look really cool with metal straps and rivets maybe.

[@odinsgaming2565]

i love this video. the old fashion way of making stuff is some of the best things there is out there. love the work you do, the camera work is great. keep up the great work! hope to see more blacksmithing in the future.

[@troyjones820]

you keep doing what you like like minded people will enjoy the learning and the good natured banter i know i have god bless keep up the good work ...p.s. watch that drone inside haha.

[@CurtisSmeltzer]

Very clever way to get around complainers!! Just making the boards could have been part 1 to a big project, but instead it is it's own standalone video!

[@idahormj66]

your sharing your passion , therefore whatever your doing is interesting

[@richardhorner298]

Enjoyed your video.Yes there is something about making lumber that is your own. Saw your video a few years ago or so on the 10' x 12 greenhouse and was inspired to build one very close to yours. Thank you!

[@ethanross5919]

I am excited to see more blacksmithing! When you get a tractor make sure it's a John Deere for me!

[@CplSkiUSMC]

I agree about the "sissies." Our society has been structured to make people dependent and self reliance is a vanishing trait. Those people who don't have it don't understand it, and they would likely die if the power grid ever went down. I think Hank Williams Jr said it best, "A country boy can survive." Don't mind the naysayers who haven't a clue, because those of us who can do for ourselves, do. Maybe someday, having seen it done, just perhaps, they will learn that they can do for themselves as well.

[@edsmelly]

Yeah, because it can't be that most people already have enough to do during the day without having to cut their own fucking lumber.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Not arguing that. Question is: could you cut your own lumber if you absolutely had to? Could you stitch up your dog's wounds if you absolutely had to? Or perhaps yourself or your spouse or child? Could you feed them without a grocery store? It's simply a matter of everyone gets into the daily work grind and they learn to do their own particular job well. That fits into a network within society where everyone's skills serve others' needs, but few possess the basic "Jack of all trades" skills required to survive on your own that go beyond the trappings of our modern lifestyle that everyone takes for granted. The premise is this: if you got transported back in time to the year 1500AD (the time of the Spanish explorers), could you survive? If the apocalypse happened tomorrow and you were one of the 1% of humanity that initially survived, could you continue to survive? You would find that you would either learn to become self reliant in a big hurry or die. I would encourage everyone to take some off work time and start learning some of those good old fashioned life skills again. It's actually quite enjoyable to learn bushcraft skills and make a hobby out of them. There are lots of great channels here on KZbin that demonstrate these skills... even in your own back yard. I'm working on wild edibles right now myself which I consider critical to survival in a SHTF situation. It's relaxing and rewarding.

[@liorajimenez3085]

Psst ... ;-) if we have time to sit online watching KZbin, play games, and watch TV, then we have time to cut lumber, plant gardens, and learn "old" skills. My gardening lessons are done, now learning canning and raising chickens. I hope to find a "using a wood burning stove to cook/bake" course near here, soon. Home Depot had classes for basic skills (lumber, plumbing, etc.). Maybe you can start there?

[@CplSkiUSMC]

I think you will enjoy cooking on a wood stove immensely. It's a little different and a little slower, but for some reason, meals always taste better cooked on a wood stove. I would probably wait to try that until about October though, they really heat up the house.

[@-Siculus-Hort-]

alot of its common sense and trail and error. mayhap genetically learnt. I love this though.

[@CumminsDreamin]

Love the video!! The follow me drone feature is great!! Also good music choices!!

[@ramsey2334]

100% correct on boat/ship difference. Always interesting videos. Thanks!

[@hilltophunters436]

Great video, I hope you don't let any negativity get you down. I really enjoy all your videos old and new. Ps jacks video was very well done.

[@X-OR_]

You have a injured animal, your Trained to handle the injury and you Sutured the wound. You did Good !!!!

[@gadgetmantwincities]

You provide great content and make great videos! Keep up the good work. I admire you greatly. And you also have a beautiful family.

[@HugoHugunin]

One thing I have always kept in my first aid kit: They are - 1) Individually wrapped 2) Sterile 3) Absorbent 4) Easy to create a compression bandage 5) Inexpensive 6) Readily available As a former Trauma Tech I found that the large _old-style_ maternity pads (FHP's) are the absolute best. If you remember, they were used in Vietnam. (Okay, they were Army Green and I don't know if they were made by Kotex®, but *VERY* similar) The ends can be tied and a stick can be inserted and twisted to make an effective pressure dressing. I never leave home without them in my first aid kit. My 2¢.

[@ButlerNamedBruce]

There's nothing better than fresh Mild wood also love the smell of it as well

[@irritablearchitect]

For about two minutes from 15:07 onward...Sir, that is an appropriate rant! Amen, and PREACH IT! 5x5, loud and clear.

[@BillieBee_]

I like the use of the 'New Camera Man' when I was thinking of what to type in this comment I almost called you Casey. Haha. Good work man.

[@JeffStoops]

I thought the drone footage was brilliant. I liked it. It gives a better over all view.

[@4EyedFox]

That is such a cool rig Cody! I always enjoy the woodworking videos.

[@wyattnelson7365]

Cody I am 13 years old and I made a chainsaw mill love your vids! and I'm a axe junky BTW!!!

[@dbhoward56]

Great Video...I think you dropped a hint, on what you're about to build!!. Good job Yesterday. I grew up in a very small town...nearest doctor was not so near.....things happen but common sense was very common back then and its home grown....Thanks Cody!

[@thijsvandevelde6056]

The drone really helps showing your life.

[@Retired_SeniorChief]

I am excited to get back to the good stuff!

[@tsmall07]

I thumbed up just because of your reaction to the doubters and people second guessing your abilities (aka Sissies). Good on you. Also, Safety Third!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Nice... I'm spoiled I went ahead and broke down and bought a wood mizer 15 .... Not real good at it but like a buddy of mine said now I have sawdust in my veins .. something about taking a log and cutting it up and being able to actually make something out of it.. I have lots of video that isn't published of what I've done.. just too lazy to start another channel.. Hey great drone footage also .. I have one and have dabbled around with it on hunting videos and camp videos.. got big plans for this year though... love your channel !!

[@motorcityman99]

Wish we could see wrangler barn videos I jumped on board at the 100k sub mark watched some of your old vids learned so much

[@zargon7222]

I agree about the heat. I always say you can always put on more layers to get warm, but you can only take off so many layers to cool off.

[@RamSkirata]

also very very good usage of the drone, Cody. It really enrichens your videos!
