Thank you, we are trying hard every day!

[@brucewatson8451]

Real nice looking set up there guys. I'm new to sawing and having a blast..(western WA). Great video, good comradery. EB.

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

Bruce, what saw have you been running? Are you relatively happy with it so far? Hope all is well! -Andy

[@brucewatson8451]

I use a Woodland Mills HM126 with an extension so I can do 16fts. It's been easy to build, run, understand. Seems to be flawless so far. @@cripplecreeksawmill

Good looking mill you have.

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

Thank you!

[@jasonthomas7995]

awesome help you have there. wished i could find help like that. they know what they're doing and that makes the output of the mill so much more productive. seems like you have a nice setup. good luck. by the way i have a cook hd3238 and its hard to find good help im almost to the point of looking for bad help lol

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

We are all carpenters/builders by trade here (I'm also a machinist/welder), so the sawmill stuff comes easy for the crew. I'm looking at a cooks sharpener/setter as we speak, do you have one of their sharpeners?? PS the help-problem is everywhere, no one I know can find good help.

Hello from the other side of the world! Thanks for stopping by!

Wish you were close to me, have so much big downed cherry , most over 35"-30" an have to get it cut up Your like the manual mill or wish you had gone to the 35? Great video, and your workers are great .👍👍👍👍

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

@douglasbattjes3991 I wish we could get big cherry like that up here! Cherry is the only domestic hardwood up here in the mountains that we can't seem to get over about 18" diameter. I like the lt15 a lot, it's definitely a good mill. For production cutting I would recommend a lt40super hydraulic, or lt50 super hydraulic. It's the material handling and moving that is the true cost of the mill, nott the actual cutting. So if you can cut down on the handling, that's where the efficiency is. Be well! -Andy

[@douglasbattjes3991]

@@cripplecreeksawmill I know Andy, all the walking around, setting the holders, moving lumber, back and forth, neighbor down the street from me has a 35 an had it widened to cut much wider logs, He cuts a ton for custom tables that he makes, they are awesome. Where are you located ?

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

@@douglasbattjes3991 In Southern Vermont, not too far from Manchester.

[@Candmsawmill]

Can't wait till I get my lt15 wide should be here in October . What blade do you prefer . Also great channel

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

We use 9deg blades for the softwood lumber (with lots of coolant), and 4deg blades for all of our hardwood slabbing (some guys run dry, but we run lots of coolant). Thanks for the kind words!

[@DingleyDell]

Awesome rig! What do you do with the sawdust?

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

Right now we burn it or dump it at a mulch-operation. We might offer it free to local farmers in the future. Thanks for taking a look!

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

We got an LT15 a few years ago. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting the wide.

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

I hear you! The "wide" maxes out at about 33", and I can't tell you how many times we have needed even more than what we have! A WM1000 would be nice a few years from now (in my dreams).

[@morgansword]

Just subed today, you guys must be in the northwest area.. Idaho or maybe washington somewhere as its nice timber.. don't see much of that in upper central alaska.... down on the islands are hemlock an spruce an lots of castle top cedars, not much yellow cedar.... I worked there in the late seventies and eighties but washington when I got home from Nam. Before that was the Jippo days with dad in the upper cascades washington state... now too old to make the dust

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

Thanks for taking a look! We are located in Southern Vermont. Lots of our area was clear cut between 1870-1915, but there are still fairly large areas of decent sized/straight timber around here. I'm just barely turning 40, and already have arthritis starting from all the worn out joints.

[@morgansword]

@@cripplecreeksawmill I hate hearing about the arthritis as its a bad one. My right hand has given up completely and can't hold a spoon. Vermont is just beautiful as I drove truck to the east coast... Nice timber rock and clay was what stuck out in my old noggin

[@cripplecreeksawmill]

@@morgansword that's exactly right, it's about all solid rock up here in the mountains, with just a little clay mixed in👍

How can I get a cripple creek t-shirt

Shane, we ordered more t-shirts, and will start doing our t-shirts giveaways every video, again, here in the next few days. Thanks for taking a look, Dave and I appreciate it! -Andy
