@@OutoftheWoods0623 I think we should be able to send pictures of our shirts all over the world showing our globally support for your channel

[@SteveMrnak]

It’s men like you that make this country great,

[@nathanelliott9013]

Appreciate you

[@MatthewFrey-kc7vf]

My thoughts exactly when I started watching today.

[@texasjetman]

One question. “Who got the 3rd bacon biscuit ?” Just kidding congratulations on the new addition to the OTW equipment stable. Hope you found a good Yanmar filter supplier you’re gonna be needing to buy bulk filters for sure. What a blessing to have your dad come along.

[@JosephGodwin137]

His wingman gets the 3rd bacon 🥓 biscuit 😋

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Me!

[@DB-thats-me]

MAN! 😜 It’s early morning here and that made me HUNGRY. 😂👍🍪

[@richardharty898]

Great video as usual, loved the edger for its simplicity and design features, one thing though, it took me a couple of moments to get a handle on your food terminology. Here in New Zealand your “Biscuit” is known as a “Bun” or “Bread Roll”, what you folk call “Cookies” we call “Biscuits”, I’m pretty sure we are both on the same page with “Cake” though.😂. Keep those episodes coming my friend, I look forward to them with anticipation.

[@texasjetman]

@@DB-thats-me Me too. I’ve not had a good light fluffy buttermilk biscuit in a dang long time.

[@dropshot1967]

Once you have figured out the berst place for the sawmill and edger, You could also just pour concrete footers at the location of your supports, so the machines are stable and flat (on the ground the sawmill can go out of level with the weight of the heavy logs and the impact when turning the logs). You will save on the amount of concrete and you could possibly do these footers yourself. One advantage of a full concrete floor would be that it is easier to sweep and blow clean.

[@daveklein2826]

Send him the money for the concrete

[@jamesearly2587]

What? No egg and cheese on your breakfast biscuits? What's this world coming to? My goodness.😎

[@donaldadams5342]

Pretty interesting piece of equipment & one can see how valuable this will be to your work Nathan. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@Liz.Green789]

I've driven by Wood Mizer in Batesville. I saw a lot of sawmills outside. Because of your videos, I knew what I was seeing. It's rather hard to catch at 70 mph.

[@coyotiess]

It is a pleasure to be Here with yall!

[@RobDeHaven]

Nathan I think your future self will be grateful for using the new barn with the sawmill so you can see how you like things arranged. That was some solid advice.

[@bobm5500]

Well signed , Less moving parts , Less maintenance , less money spent , less time lost !

[@dalebrabb4756]

Excellent edger, now all it needs is a laser on the movable blade. It doesn't need to have a laser but Mark Galicic got one for his edger and it's the icing on the cake IMO.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Mark is a smart guy for sure

[@LaserGuy62]

Back in the late 80's early 90's we had a WM edger where the in - feed, out-feed rollers were part of the trailer. you didn't have to remove the back rollers to move it around . It was great for moving from job site to job site when we went mobile..

[@larryleerssen2562]

I think the new building is a great addition to your business & the edger will make things flow so much faster Looks like you might be in the market for a new dust collector too Good luck on getting everything put in line for your dreams

[@johngagne986]

Got my shirts and man I look snazzy! Got one for my wife too so she isn't jealous when I go out looking that good! Congrats on getting that new machine. The edger looks great and will add a new and valuable dimension to your output Nathan. And those biscuits made me hungry!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@texasjetman]

I am trying to get Nathan to let us all send in pictures of ourselves wearing our proud new barn-raisin T's from all over the world to show our support, I think it would be fun to see so many of these T's across the globe and build our team spirit more

Nice building. And really nice edger....proud for you brother....

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Much appreciated

[@MatthewFrey-kc7vf]

Nathan, I was just trying to remember when I followed your channel first. Not sure exactly but I do recall when I suffered my head injury in 2019 that your channel hepled me rehabilitate. R and R was the only fix for it. Your videos helped me to relax and get through the bad days. Reason i was thinking about it is I had a relapse and again your videos are helping me. 👍

[@ronaldferino3414]

I've been by the Wood Mizer plant There in Batesville In. hundreds of times. I drove for a company that hauls parts for Cummins Engine to and from Columbus In. I would sometimes come back home from there with plenty of room in my trailer and often thought I should stop and grab me a mill. Many years ago my father had one and I really liked running it. I'm retired now and have thought about getting one and do a little custom sawing just to keep busy. Edger will be a great addition for you, looking for more video's on it. Have a good day.

[@roberthagood4770]

You are going to have a very fine set up when your done . May GOD bless.

[@rogerwilkoson]

Got my T-shirt and I like it.

[@nathanelliott9013]

Thanks!

[@fredbrooks8347]

What a great video. So glad you got the edger. Also I like the way you are laid back, calm cool and collected, as they say. It is 😊going to be fun to watch your building develop. One more comment, I don’t have saw mill but your work ethic, knowledge , willingness to learn, your honesty inspires me to follow you in my endeavors as a maker. Many times I say to myself ,when in the shop, “what would Nathan do?”

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks so much!

[@BTimmer]

That's a nice new machine. Could you please describe in more detail how you set up for two blade edging. I couldn't visualize how the right edge was set or is it a fixed distance? Looking forward to the tshirt.

[@nathanelliott9013]

Will do

[@toddpacheco4748]

Nathan,congratulations on your new edging machine for cranking out the lumber for years to come 😮😊❤

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes, thank you

[@wayne251975]

The best forgiving floor for a barn in my opinion for what it is worth. If you have the useless soil many of us have, Red Clay . Grind it very fine and add I bag of portland for every 15 - 20 square feet. Grind I t again with a tractor & three point hitch garden tiller. Grind it again. Lightly wet it and pack the hell out of it and stay off of it. For a few days. Very tough but fixable if you accidentlly mess up a section.. One of the best parts is the clay for me anyway is free...

[@fondadeen1164]

Good video love the edger sure sets width smoothly

[@ericwashburn2740]

Saw your mill on another site the other day. I could tell it was yours because of the Logrite sign. I was like, “I know that mill”.

[@FredD63]

Nathan pour a concrete pad for the center of the edger to sit on and you can walk on dirt or stone next to it

[@robert.brokaw3829]

I had the edger pegged - you have been talking about it for years. Looks good Nathan. Looking forward to seeing you use the edger in production mode. Stay safe.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Cool, thanks

[@GB-mu9ue]

I absolutely love this channel.

[@BeaverStateMilling]

I use pallet forks and two lifting straps to remove conveyor. Much easier and safer. Hitting the engine with the conveyor is a bad day. I also put a tarp under the machine for the sawdust to fall on. Just pull it out when full, makes clean up fast and easy.

[@silentferret1049]

If you are up in the air about concrete under the saw. You can go the turf and block route. Concrete blocks to spread out the load so it stays where you place it and not try and sink and everywhere else under, turf like used football field turf. Stuff keeps the dust down which being enclosed will kill off the grass and could be a bit muddy, it would be soft under the foot as well. Should be easy enough to vacuum up any chips and sawdust off of it and fairly low maintenance. It also won't be rubber mats and if I remember correctly, you can get the turf stuff in colors other than green like black if you wanted.

[@dmorgan28]

When I used to drive truck thru Tennessee I used to stop and get bacon biscuits at this place (really good). I don’t know if it was the same place but they were good. I’m glad you have your Dad going with you. I used to go places with my Dad when he was still here. We need to enjoy them while we can. Love that edger you went and picked up. It works great! Cool video. Love your new barn too! 👍❤️

[@greatsilentwatcher]

That a nice addition to the mill. Way to go.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@asbrand]

Great video! I'll have to check out Cafe 93 next time I am up there visiting family.

[@stanwooddave9758]

Hello Nathan, something else to consider for use on concrete or natural ground would be horse stall mats. Their 3/4" in. (0.750" in.) thick and come in sizes from 2' ft. X 2' ft. up to 12' ft. x 12' ft. Also the come with interlocking or non-interlocking. Just some food for thought.

[@Diggar72]

You could do like Smokey Mountain Outpost did with his new woodmizer. He didn't concrete the whole thing just where the feet are. Sorry if that doesn't make sense fighting covid and strep throat

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Not a bad idea

[@gasmancg]

I guessed the exact machine and model. Nice edition to the mill. Congratulations!!

[@silentferret1049]

One thing you might consider since that is a flip off guide fence, laser sights. One can be fixed where the fence would be and the other can be tied to the dial and move with the saw. The one that moves would be the one to get first but thats a speed thing and ease of use for both so if you are not too tied on time then you don't need them.

[@texus7079]

Gotta luv the tunnel. Miss the caves in top of the hill though. Used to spend a lot of time there. Lots of memories.

[@fondadeen1164]

That Bacon Biscuit looked good.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

hard to beat

[@bowlcut7467]

Anti-fatigue mats are ok but I like building wood pallet type mats. Wood has a good spring to it, its what machinists put around their machines since chips can fall through. So if you do concrete build some flat wood mats with a little gap in them, the dust can fall through and you can blow it out. Or just pick up the mats every now and then to clean under. But its like a nice wood floor in a house, but with more spring.

[@jnich17]

Real nice edger. Got my T shirt today.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffpeters1014]

Mark Galicic put a laser that tracks with the movable blade . That may be an upgrade in the future. Nice machine!

[@robertr4193]

If you do do decide to use gravel as a floor material you may want to get something like the Green driveway system to help keep the gravel in place. It is a grid pattern that you put down on a level surface then put the gravel into the grid and it helps keep it in place and allows you to use less gravel and maintain a more level surface.

[@hasletjoe5984]

[@piggyspiddles]

Maybe make concrete pads for where the machinery will be when you decide how ya want it set up, leaving the ground for you to walk on. Or pour the pad you originally thought of and put rubber matting where you will be walking. Just a thought for ya. Love that ya got that edger, cant wait to see it in action. Like ya said, that's gonna be a game changer for ya.

[@jeromemercurio5407]

Nathan: Always a pleasure to watch your videos, wouldn't the offal from the edger create stickers for your lumber stack? Your communication skills (good talker)keeps me entertained and coming back for more, Thank You

Best of luck with the Edger Nathan

[@buddyjames1347]

I don't have concrete, I agree it's hard on you. Love the new shed

[@davedewey3070]

Congrats on the new edger! Here is New England, the new public tennis courts have "soft" asphalt courts. It actually feels flexible when you walk on it. That might be an option that would be easy on the feet and legs and easy to keep clean. Dave

[@richardthornhill4630]

New Edger to complete your sawmill production. Excellent. The suggestion to use the sawmill in location before permanent location is also an excellent idea. I believe you will want it on the end of the pole barn for easier access. Like your recommendation in buying tractors, you will need more than you think. It won't be long before you will want to add the 14' lean structure on the other side also. You always need more room than you think. Keep the dirt floor for now for comfort. Divert the rainfall away from inside the building.

[@lloydbutler7479]

You may want to put an ibc tote bladder under the edger to collect the saw dust to make cleanup easier as you do not have vacuum setup yet.

[@AtomicSneeze1]

Instead of concrete, you may want to consider decomposed granite (with stabilizer). Permeable so no puddles, softer to walk on than concrete, and I find it much more stable than gravel. Packs down well. Its what I use for my out door "visiting area". Instead of a wood deck or similar, I used stabilized DG on which I have my BBQ, firepit, picknic table, and benches. Not as easy to clean as concrete but low power on the leaf blower keeps most of the debris off. In my case, using it out in the weather, I typically have to do some minor "repairs" (bring in a small trailer load and spread) every two or three years. Under cover like you have I would think you'd likely get more like 4-5 years would be my guess. Keeps weeds away, not as hard but still firm enough to be comfortable to walk on, and easy to maintain. Just a thought.

[@garysiatka3943]

We wanted a close up of the biscuit!

Maybe a more comfortable work boot might solve the fatigue issue with working on the concrete floor?

[@robertgreen8695]

Nice piece of equipment. Have you thought about using crushed shale as a base?

[@davidgolightly3416]

You are right that walking on dirty is a lot easier on the feet than walking on concrete. But the feet on the Wood Mizer saw mills are too small a foot print for most soils. The feet just pound into the ground as you turn logs and the mills do not stay level. Northwest Sawyer on KZbin showed in one of his videos putting 12x12x2 boards under the feet.

[@bobbg9041]

Thats just like the older bellsaw planer shaper used to be, Woodmasters improved the desined by adding 2 routers Sander and shaper. So not only you could stock lumber But stuff like Crown moldings in High end woods that are finnished Think of a chair rail in oak or walnut Or even maple or just hardwood flooring. Can you add more blades 1 stick come out 4. Yes that is a nice tool to have straight line ripping on that is far better then trying to do on a table saw and less time then a track saw.

[@mikemastrangelo6141]

Did I see correctly that you were carrying a spare tire for the edger/trailer on your trip back? That is a lesson I learned a while ago. When those tires go on the highway, they really go and even destroy the fender. It can be hard to locate a spare out in the middle of nowhere.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yes, I had one in the bed

[@davidburchfield2720]

[@Ellison89Brett]

A good alternative to concrete would be ag lime, if you have a bulk source to get it locally. You’d have to cut the topsoil off then fill with lime. If you water it while you compact the lime it packs very firm but wouldn’t be hard on your feet and back like concrete, and if much more smooth and easier to walk on than stone.

[@kevinbooth2063]

For lights in your new building I would recommend led lights.

[@campy9712]

Nice new tool, congrats!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@Truthandlight66]

I would think ahead a little bit and go through the actual movements of log placement.. loading logs from the end of the building onto the mill would be a heck of a lot easier than trying to juggle space though the building. And cleanup of sawdust would be a nightmare without concrete. I thought the machine in the other new shop did all the edges and shaping? Am I wrong?

[@EricaMTB]

Almost always use a fence to keep the board parallel to the cut, even if you are cutting that edge.

[@richardbritton5280]

great ty
