What part of GA are you in, if that's the fall line you're named after? Looking at getting a mill, and would love to check out your setup, and pick your brain, if you're not too far away. I'm located in Bleckley County, GA

@@johncampbell1853 John, I actually ordered a Hudson Oscar 336 Pro. It's basically the same capacity as the LT15 wide. I chose it because delivery time was actually faster than Woodmizer and it's about $2,000 cheaper. Stay tuned on my channel, and hopefully it will be coming soon!

The wood will warp somewhat after drying. Especially at the center. For this reason, you want to leave extra material. When the wood is dry, you run it thru a jointer to make it flat again. Some material will be lost in the process

Southern Yellow Pine may be cheap and plentiful in your neck of the woods, they charge a premium price for it where I live. As a builder, I'm always looking for off-center cut timbers rather than those center cut. The minimal checking is always a plus.

Those logs look pretty uniform. What prevents you from sawing them two at a time?
@falllineridge2 жыл бұрын
I've tried that before, and it does make things go faster. However, it's pretty fussy trying to flip and move two logs at a time around on the mill. Plus the sawdust tends to spray all over the place between the logs.

These got wasted. Since then I've started putting the off cuts from the squared up cant back on to get another 2x6 because I realized just how much I was wasting. The round cut offs, however, are usually not worth the time because it takes a lot of handling to get something out of them. The square ones only need one cut. Thanks for watching!

Diesel as a lube? So your saw is spraying diesel fuel all over the place? What, in a day it would be like dumping 5 gallons of diesel on the ground? This seems stupidly unnecessary, and will probably make every tree hugger go into spasms. I'm not a tree hugger, but I'm also not stupid, what is wrong with you? I use water, and cut the pitchiest white pine known to mankind. Never had a problem with 'buildup'. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Granted I've only been milling for a couple years, but - hey, may sure you mill next to a waterway, or where you plan on drilling your well! Do other shitheads really use diesel as well? A gallon for 10-15 logs? So you aren't getting any real cooling from the lube, which is the main reason for the lube (it isn't to lubricate, it's to keep the blade from overheating - 1 gal in 10 logs won't cool the blade enough to be effective).

Just over a year ago I got very frustrated with the amount of ad's I was watching and the frequency in any particular video. So I broke down and bought KZbin "Premium" and have been a fairly satisfied customer since. However lately (Over the course of the last several months) I have been seeing content creators advertising for their sponsors. Ok I get it, KZbin creators need money etc, etc. But I (And many others I may add) have paid good money out of our own pockets for the exclusive reason to NOT see ad's in videos we are watching! Yet content creators go around the subscription service I had paid for and put in their own ad's! To me that's dirty and pushes me further and further away from the "subscribe" button. I know you get paid just for me clicking on the video weather I watch the ad's or not. But that is a dirty tactic and I will never subscribe to content creators under those terms. End of rant!
