Cutting Pine Logs on the Sawmill!

Cut a few pine trees down on our property. They were planted with the intention of being cut down (harvested) for wood. These I’m cutting up on the sawmill to use as siding on a house I’ll build!
Preciate y’all!

Jeff, the only thing my dad taught me was about Jesus and to be a gentleman. The only skills I learned were from jobs I've had. I can fish and hunt with my Savage 270, but not bow hunt. I wish i knew half of what you know. You have it made! Hunting, trapping, fishing, noodling, planting trees, harvesting trees, cutting your own lumber, building cabinets and houses...shit man, i wanna be you! I'm 56 but my body is falling apart and so is my health. I'll probably be dead in a few years, but living a life like you have would be a dream for so many! Thank you Hannah for setting up this channel. You are just amazing as your dad! I wish I could come visit and eat some Hog and those fish nuggets with the hot sauce! God bless y'all.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Paul S. • Hey brother I'm 52yrs old and right there with ya, as far as the health thing. I've had to pretty much figure out everything on my own also, my friend. You keep being a gentleman and keep believing in Jesus one day you and I both will have a new healthy body. God Bless you and yours my friend. Jay 👍👍

Paul S, Go for it buddy, I have a fake knee and a bad hip and love to go trapping beaver. Figured away around my handicap, I trap from a canoe, and have a heavy duty wagon to take my catch from the canoe to the truck. Found out about Air Skinning on KZbin, beaver have 2" of fat under the skin and it's hard to pull up with my arthritic fingers. But with a compressor and a tube under the skin, you can blow them up like a balloon, then you can peal the skin off like pajamas. Learned everything I know from The Meat Trapper channel. And I don't start trapping until I was 60, I'm 68, almost 69 now. I'd be dead long ago if I didn't have adventures to look forward to. Don't ever give up on life or it will give up on you.

[@pauls.981]

@@parrotbill9072 it all sounds good. I have a total left knee replacement, Osteoarthritis and Psoriatic arthritis, type 2 diabetes, enlarged spleen, cirrhosis of the liver, some new diagnosis called DISH and many more things. Tremors in both hands now. Can barely feed myself anymore. I try not to complain much though. God will only take me when HE is ready.

[@marvelfanalliance7725]

I wish people in 2020 had the work ethic of the Barron Family. Perhaps there wouldn't be so much turmoil in the world. Everyone wouldn't be so self absorbed and just work to be productive and healthy. One can only hope I guess.

Picked up a new Timberking 2020 the other day. Had to wait a year. Little did I know the Caldor fire would happen and slightly burn all my trees on 32 acres. Well, now I have some timber to mill. Lot's of pine. I'm subscribing. Very good step by step teaching. Thanks.

[@tacocin]

Years ago when I was in high school I worked one summer at at a pulpwood yard. We had a saw mill that ran for hours and hours every day. I probably stacked millions of board feet just like you're doing Jeff. Depending on what the customer wanted sometimes we also ran raw lumber through a planer to smooth it out. Back breaking work and I was completely spent at the end of the day. However, I was in the best shape ever!

[@spaceskipster4412]

I agree with you on keeping the cuts clean same goes with chainsaw. I appreciate yall.

[@roynelson7613]

I remember back in about 2005 I took my best friendfrom Centerville Indiana all the way down to Louisville Kentucky to pick up a saw mill that I remember looks just like the one you got pretty much back when I was about 19.20 years old I grew up helping farmers andI helped them harvest a bunch of trees and logs and they hired a guy that had a sawmill he brought to their house and brother we've made tons of lumber and it was a great experience for methey built one hell of a house out of the lumber that come off their property I live in South Carolina now thinking pretty hard about moving back to Indiana I'm disabled from a really bad motorcycle accident that's where all my friends are at I think I'd be much happier might even start my own KZbin channel just how I live day by day.. the only reason I haven't is nothing too exciting right now if I move back things would be happening. Thanks for all the great videos my brother you represent us men that's for sure stay safe live a great and happy life wide-open no regrets 💪🏽💪🏽🇺🇸💯👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✊🏼✊🏼

After high school 1982 I did as all boys did in Forks, Wa. We went logging. Big big old growth Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock and Sitka Spruce. I never had any Mill experience just all logging in the woods. I am beat up banged up and missing a few body parts from logging but I lived. Many of my friends did. It.

[@georgedeedsnotwords2162]

I've done a little time on a wood mizer myself . My dad has one we spent a couple years cutting . Nothing like the smell of fresh cut lumber ... Except when I did some roofing with cedar shakes . Now thats a smell that would never get old . Love the smell of cedar in the morning with the sun coming up over the trees . Damb getting old sucks ! God bless and stay healthy and safe .

So Pops is making awesome slabs of wood, because he has that fancy cutting machine! Meanwhile........ I gotta get a new can opener to cut open my cans, HAAAAA! So my excitement for the day though is I found one "Made in USA" and by the Vets too....so that was my quarantine thrill of the day!~ Not quite as cool as Pops though! Cheers y'all!

[@AutoCrete]

I have a lot more respect for a tradesman who runs old equipment that runs well due to maintenance than the guy who has new to 3 year old equipment replaced due to abuse and lack of maintenance. A 1989 mill tells me a lot about you. You seem to have the wood drying figured out as well.

Jeff, you are so multi talented. When I younger I was around farm sawmills, (butchering and etc.) I learned so much. it makes me appreciate what all you do. Thank you, Papa Bob in MO.

[@John_Conner222]

Very nice to see. My dad was into the technology aspects of sawmills. He created laser vision systems that could maximize what you got out of a log by scanning it and tell the operator how to rotate it and place it in the mill to get the maximum lumber out of the log based on what the market wanted. It's so weird its been so long since I've even talked about sawmills (my dad passed away several years ago). I can follow you along every step of the way. It's amazing how your operation is almost as good as some of the bigger mills with larger equipment. As far as drying the lower boards go I see a large fan leaning up against a post at 6:26. You could attach that to a windmill that is taller than your trees and have it blow the lower boards to keep them from molding and mildewing. Wouldn't have to power it. Very nice work.

[@tomstrickland4665]

[@reedb9039]

Dude...you have some mad skills.

[@birdhunter2754]

Good workout. Bet that wood smells good. Fresh cut.

[@ericduck8273]

You are very efficient in your actions. I like the way you edged your first boards while cutting other boards. I also like to see that you only turn the logs 90 degrees in lieu of 180 degrees that most horizontal band saw mill operators do. My family had a vertical cut circular saw mill. We turned the cut face down, 90 degrees. All labor intensive mill. Two people were on the carriage, one to set blocks, one to dog the timber, one on the log deck to feed the logs and to turn them. Good old days!

[@ronhart8857]

Hello Jeff, your have a very nice workable sawmill. If you Perform maintenance on the sawmill it will cut good, & work for a long time. Your getting some nice size boards from the logs. Thank you Hannah for setting up a youtube channel for Dad! Thank you Jeff

Good video Jeff n you got a gold mine there with all that cut lumber for all the building.. Looking forward to seeing videos of the Spec houses coming up.. Retired carpenter but still do wood work..

[@edsmith4414]

Jeff: Watching you take the wheel covers off......mine haven't been on in 25 years...ahahaaaa...paint on them is brand new while the rest of the orange has faded out. Ever try tapered lap siding ? That is what I use on all my buildings around the farm. Cut a log into an 8" wide cant by however tall you can square it up, (10-18") then stick a 5/8" plywood shim under the cant on the bed rail. Lower the head to where you're cutting about 3/4-7/8" on the outer side of the cocked cant, the inside will be around 1/4-3/8" (Adjust your shim thickness to suit the taper you like....I find 5/8" works for me). Remove the shims for the next pass, the taper will switch sides. Keep repeating until you're as low as the head will go. You get a LOT more siding per log, and it's a lot easier to install over board/batten, and it's a lot better IMO because you don't have that air gap between board covered by the batten, but still open to insects/air at the bottom.

[@americanswang95]

In the 80's they wanted about $20,000 for Wood Mizer's high end model. A buddy and I made one from the axle up. The only thing that we needed from Wood Mizer was the blade guide and at the time they were the only company that sold 12 volt rheostats. It's somewhere in upstate NY now. The next time I will just buy one that's already in one piece.
