Q and A w/ Emerald and Jade

[@paulrambone6705]

Your family is making a good life for you. It is so cool to see a family work together.

[@johnsadler8637]

Good evening! Quite a treat, having Jade on camera and smiling! Good video Q&A.

[@toddellis9994]

I agree with the consensus. Jade is a treat & easy to watch. I don't care if I sound creepy either. Thanks for sharing content. I'm part of a LT70 crew that runs as weekend warriors. It's honest work. 💪✌️

[@brucemullis479]

Aside from your work ethics, I'm impressed with your ability to come up with new content.

[@kevindouglas8768]

Right?.. I keep wondering what they can make a video of next?.. I didn't think a log yard had so many topics.

[@gaiustacitus4242]

Just think what amazing videos they could have made if they'd worked in a machine shop. There's an endless variety of topics to cover in milling, drilling, turning, welding, stamping, forming, measuring, machine tools, tooling, repair, maintenance, programming, etc.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

em congrats with finishing you high school education. my oxymoron question was it in a public high school 9r in a home school environment. my college guess is home school program and independent study with a splash of school of hard knocks. homeschool with guidance counseling from boss man boss lady and grand pa an a dog name rocky and an ice covered river called icy. and freezing xul or icy hot or icy not

[@MrRossi1805]

This Girls are so cool! My deepest welcome to them (sorry translation from German)

[@gaiustacitus4242]

@@MrRossi1805 Yes, they are. Attractive, intelligent, knowledgeable, hard working, and talented. Their parents have good reasons to be very proud of them.

Wow!! Jade speaks!! Both of you are lovely and talented, and it's a joy to watch your videos.

[@richardherring8220]

The Boss Man and Boss Lady have taught you ladies well, good morals & standards I fell you both will go well in life !!

[@LIFELOVER715]

It actually made me happy that you are not going to college and are continuing with your expanding business. You already have your business degrees with straight A's and will become even more educated than the majority of collegiate graduates. You also have a rich, wonderful life, which is the most important thing.

[@eviltomthai]

Skipping college is very questionable indeed

[@fewwiggle]

@@eviltomthai Hmmmmm, what is questionable these days is the value of a college education. A motivated person can acquire almost everything they would get in college by self-study (and without the indoctrination and BS). The only exceptions are the advanced sciences or engineering type stuff.

[@jacobwilliams5271]

@@fewwiggle " Indoctrination" is your kids learning to think for themselves and not keeping the bigoted ideals you raised them with. Unless your family has set you up for life, like these girls parents have, it is very difficult for most people to make decent money with just a HS diploma. College is about more than learning what is being taught in your classes, the real education comes from getting to know, interact, and exchange ideas with people from all walks of life. Surrounding yourself with people who only think just like you is how a lot of people ( on both sides of the aisle) end up so out of touch with reality.

[@fewwiggle]

@@jacobwilliams5271 One form of bigotry is thinking that anyone not like you is bigoted . . . . "Unless your family has set you up for life, like these girls parents have" Wow, the condescension -- the assumptions about other people's lives . . . Regardless, college is a monoculture -- there is no (tolerated) diversity of thought there . . . .

[@eviltomthai]

@@jacobwilliams5271 thank you for this comment. It's spot on! So well said!!!

That was informative and fun. IMO, your videography and editing skills continue to grow weekly. Thanks for bringing us along on this journey.

The Boss is running the business like a farm where he passes on the business to the children. It makes me believe there is still good in this country and wish you girls all the luck you deserve.

I really liked the disdain for college. Very smart. You can get some accounting classes are whatever you need to prosper.

[@markg9177]

Go-Pro on the dog, it's a must! :)~ is Emerald's halo is held up by horns? looks like Emerald has a little coffee addiction?

[@jeffd1919]

Grew up on a sheep ranch out west drinking sheep herder's coffee, morning, noon, and night. Finally have given it up. I loved it, but it was tearing up my stomach. I drink my favorite mixed drink now - aloe vera juice w a shot of water and largest % pineapple juice. My stomach thanks me.

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

Do the Q & A occasionally. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@haroldchoate7497]

You did that very well. You answered some of the questions I had, college, how tall, etc.. I like the way both of you think before answering, that shows common sense and intelligence. Thanks for doing this it makes watching you all the better when we know you as real people.

[@paulheffron3951]

Could one of you ask Sammi to send you a clip of her waving hello and maybe showing what she's doing? You get comments about her all the time.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

I think she is no longer part of the buisness.

[@dyoung3536]

A few questions for the next time you do one of these.... 1) How much Coffee does Emerald drink in a day? Maybe you could come up Board Foot per Cup metric. 🙂 2) Are there types of wood you could cut but don't and why? 3) What % of lumber is from timber your family business cuts vs logs provided by others who are just paying for you to cut lumber for them? 4) What's your favorite season to be outside milling? Personally, nothing like a crisp fall morning splitting firewood. Warms you 4 times, when you cut it, when you haul it, when you split it and then when you burn it. 5) Do either of you ever go out logging and cutting timber or mainly back at the mill? Would love to see some content of timber harvesting. 6) Have you ever got a completely deformed log where you scratched your head wondering how you're going to attack cutting it but also just couldn't bring yourself to discarding it? 7) Is there a type of wood you'd love to mill someday but can't because it's not locally available? Great channel. Career has me in big city living now so it brings back a lot of fond memories of my younger years.

You young ladies are amazing and lovely interaction with each other!!!! Keep it going!!

[@jackkielty8241]

When my daughters were young it became very clearly evident that even here in the 21st century girls and young women are still being oppressed and limited by societal notions of what they should and shouldn't do. Had your videos been available then just seeing young women, indeed beautiful young women, doing physical work at a mill would've been really helpful in letting them see straight through all that BS. I told them repeatedly that most limitations are self imposed; don't limit yourself and never let others limit you. It's great to see strong, healthy young women who have a strong sense of self determination.

[@dontbescaredhomie3137]

Yeah, it's partially kind of silly. There are parents who are very restrictive ( it all starts there) but I come from a large city in Europe where many classmates in one or my schools were rich, white with two working parents and they were not lining up for technical / IT professions. Science yes, but healthcare. A lot of it comes down to choice.

[@ditherdather]

Means a lot to this stranger that you didn't jump on the current bandwaggon as some of the other commenters did, of denegrating the first person who paid the compliment about your family being "good looking". You're right; it's not creepy. The commenter kept it clean, and it's nice to see people just take a nice compliment. It may seem on it's surface like an odd observation for me to make, but too many people today don't know how to take a compliment (albeit from awkward people sometimes) and are looking for ways to be a victim, even at the expense of other good people. I respect you more for it.

[@gregharshbarger2651]

Sorry I missed the Q and A 😢 my question would be what are you’re plans for the future? Thank you 😊 you both answered my question! You both love the mill and sticking with it 😊 why isn’t Sam in a lot of videos ? Because Sam really great 😊

Good video & good answers. Small comment on gloves - I cut & bucked a few hundred cords of fire killed or dead pine/spruce & cut many miles of survey line. I'd only wear gloves if it was well below freezing. I'd rarely get splinters - as you noted, there are some simple tricks to avoid them, respect the wood. All the best & hope that you maintain this UTube channel -

Dont compare yourselves to Out of tge woods. You guys are much more concientious of your waste. He burns in a pile all of his waste rather than make any effort to try to find puposes for it. When i called him out on this he banned me from his channel. And tried to call me names and shame me for making the comment in the first place. No comparison. You guys win hands down.

[@jonathanhansen7679]

A Feller Buncher that looks like that in our area is called a hot saw. It’s made for mostly clear cutting. There is another machine that looks similar with a different head that is called a Processor. It used for clear cutting and select cutting and it fells the tree, removes branches and cuts the logs to length. Mostly for short wood but also can cut random lengths. Neither machine is great with steep hills.

[@rogerstepp3240]

Emerald your halo shines bright .You guys keep on keeping on .

[@paytonruss55]

The machine Jade mentioned is either a harvester or a Timbco. I use to run a Harvester and Timbco and honestly I hope the boss gets one. I feel sorry for him out there felling trees in winter. Time for him to be in a heated cab and make his machine do all the work

[@adedgeworks]

suggestion for a new piece of equipment...conveyer to transfer sawdust to the trailer. might take some rearranging, and would deprive of that valuable shoveling exercise :)

[@DHGo-ex7ns]

Very interesting. Sounds like the family business is growing into different aspect of the lumber business and wood by products. Great to have a business with a ready made family to run and operate the business.

This vid is similar to what the members get to see every week. Also, the challenge of how fast a log can be cut really isn't about the winner it's about getting all the viewers from each other's channels, win win. Def get a deal going with Out of the Woods. And about the halo over Em's head, yes it's fitting because I'm sure she could do no wrong, guaranteed!

[@undermoonlightglow]

Thank you, ladies. 👍

[@johnulmer6715]

Feller buncher it is. Would make the boss man's job much easier. But unless your doing massive board foot logging it's not to feasible. With the cost of the machine and the maintenance, you really have to produce a lot of wood or sell a bunch to make it profitable. Great vid and keep up the good work.

Good answer Jade. You’re right a feller buncher. Would be a really. Good piece of equipment. Em. What if I told you that😂 up here in Canada there mills they cut more than 100,”000 fbm per day and they would consider an 11” log a big log. They are required to mill logs down to a 5” top.

Since Halloween is coming up, if you have a chance to do this type of sit down video. Can you do a "Log yard horror stories"? Stories/anecdotes about when things have gone a little (or a lot) wrong. The stories don't necessarily have to be serious they can be funny ones too. I'm sure The Boss in all his years might have a few tales to tell. Thanks for making all your videos, I'll never be a sawyer, but the insights you deliver makes me appreciate your profession ever more. Take care y'all. ❤

A feller buncher cuts the tree down, a harvester processor cuts the tree down, delimbs it, cuts it to the desired length.

[@boatrvme8478]

It is a feller- buncher. It comes in 2 version. Sawhead and pincher head. Sawhead is faster but is more maintenance. A feller buncher can cut 8 to 10 tractor trailer loads per day. A tractor trailer load averages about 22 tons.

[@boatrvme8478]

For the doggo cam there is a dog on the Cutting Edge Engineering Australia channel that has 1.
