Milling Board And Batten Siding

[@barryhansen6854]

Good to see you keeping that saw mill busy and yourself, nothing like a bit of evening work to keep you out of trouble Jason.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Trouble is my middle name!😀

[@Tomhohenadel]

Good video Jason. Nice to see a man doing something that he enjoys. Pretty good looking lumber

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Tom!

[@lesy6832]

Great Job as always Jason. Hope all is well with you and the family. Have a great Friday and weekend. Keep the videos coming.

[@gastoncannon4710]

Awesome set-up you have now, some rocks on the ground, and maybe a shelter one day just in case it might rain some this winter. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💙💜💚💗. Great video, need to build you boy a race track, haha. Take care!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

It sounds like you have my whole season of videos planned out, Gaston😬😬

[@gastoncannon4710]

Just thinking out loud, haha. 👍👍👍

[@tsuchang1]

I'm not sure why I like your videos. Perhaps it is your relaxed style without a lot of yammering and the therapeutic watching someone else do all the work. Seeing Oregon in it's hillside glory is good too. I was a hillside gouger near Toledo for years.

[@TheBeardedWoodworker]

Looks like you did right on the driveway! 👍👍

[@Mark-dp3zf]

When you set the saw head to automatically travel down the track, or return back to the start position, will it saw head automatically stop when it reaches the end of the track?

[@jmccracken491]

Nice lumber and really going to make a nice treehouse.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I’m Going to mill some more for that project soon.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! Now I just need a few loads of rock to finish it off.

[@williamellis8993]

I was glad to see you make smaller lumber pieces from those first two cutoffs - at least that's what I thought happened.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I made what I could. The logs weren’t as straight as they first looked and after cutting out the taper, there wasn’t much left.

[@M5tworude]

Northwest Sawyer level the center of the smack end with the center of the large end on two sides for your datum. Greater yield

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Stephen that works for even-tapered logs but these had bends and eccentric taper.

[@evansmith180]

Can you talk about the dimensions you chose? And any experience with different widths and thicknesses ? Cheers

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Those were 1x12s and 1x3s. They were the customers request. They seem to be working great for him. That’s really to only board and batten siding I’ve made.

Thank you, Don!

[@marcusholloway8404]

Hi! I love your videos! I am thinking about buying an LT35 Hydraulic. I own a lot of BIG pines. Was gonna have them cut but the local sawmill didn’t want to give me what they’re worth, so, I’m thinking about buying a mill and milling them into lumber myself. Thank you for your videos!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Marcus. You can’t go wrong with a Wood-Mizer!

[@zeke1eod]

Was that marvel mystery oil you were putting on the chain or mercron dextron? What size bar was that on your chainsaw 25? Great video, thanks for sharing, God bless

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s ATF. It’s what Wood-Mizer recommends. The bar is a 32” I believe.

[@Wood.Water.Camping]

Looking good. That first log made the mill grunt a little sounded like. Is that the same carbide blade that you put on a while ago?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

It is. Still going strong.

[@practicallyIndependent]

Great video man! How thick did you cut the boards?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks, Mike! He wanted them 3/4” thick.

[@jasonneugebauer5310]

I have an lt35hd that came from the factory with the debarker. It is my opinion that the motor on the debarker is way under powered and the mechanism that holds it against the log is not well designed. Mine always was either not engaged, or got stuck on a tiny bump on the log, or the motor stopped turning the blade, or the circuit breaker popped. I took mine off after 70 hours, because I felt that it did not work well enough to add value to the process. Worst $1000 I spent at Woodmizer. Everything else works great on the saw. I hope you have better luck with your debarker! Love the channel.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Jason. The wheel on the debarker is driven by a belt. It sounds like maybe you’re was out of adjustment? I use mine all the time and it’s saved several blades for rock damage. I do pop the breaker from time to time but it’s typically operator error when I do.

[@thekiltedsawyer]

Jason, how do you get the mill to travel back to the operator end like that? 🤔👍🌲🌲👷‍♂️💪

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I had it set up with the tongue a little lower than the tail.

You seem to have an interesting place. What, if you don't mind, is the history?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you. As far as I know, there used Ronnie an old double-wide next to that old shop building. Then a new house was built lower on the property in 2005. The People I bought from had owned it for 35 years.

[@regsparkes6507]

I have to ask , Jason, are you planning on repairing that ROPS roof? Maybe you told us before, but are those tractor tires ballasted?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

They are not currently ballasted. As for the roof, I’d like to but it’s $500 for that price of plastic. We’ll see what happens this winter.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@NorthwestSawyer They know how to charge for essential items , don't they? If it were my decision/choice I'd do a makeshift repair ( as long as the ROPS is not compromised ) and leave it like that.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@NorthwestSawyer I was thinking that ballasted tires would be a help especially for hauling and lifting those larger logs. I have the rear tires on my tractor ballasted and it does help when I have to lift things. Just a thought! Cheers!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I was thinking about making a metal frame and then having a canvas cover made. Still probably cheaper.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@NorthwestSawyer It's just what I would do,....something to keep rain and sun off. That's what they used to have back in the day,.at least for equipment being operated in southern area's, didn't they? Go for it!

Thanks, Doug! It’s working pretty well too!

[@martineastburn3679]

Really good work with the saw. Log positing and thinking ahead on what and how to saw. I think I would have a wider work area on both sides for tractor work. Good job.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I would have a wider area too if I had ten square feet of flat ground on my property 😬

[@falllineridge]

Never thought of using ketchup to lube my mill. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Truth be told, that was a teriyaki sauce container I salvaged from a company picnic. But I learned about it from Wood-Mizer at one of their open houses😬

[@falllineridge]

Northwest Sawyer I use a spray bottle...but I can see the value in the ketchup bottle.

Is there a reason you why you couldn't have lifted the logs of the trailer with the forks ?

[@pauldejohn4488]

[@bwhntr11111]

I have a bad feeling about the rear tires of your tractor on the very edge of your loading area when you back up. For safety sake you need to address this and move your mill landing pad over five feet or so.Hate to see you get hurt brother.Love your videos.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I do mill in a better location now.

[@bwhntr11111]

@@NorthwestSawyer Awesome man..Did you see my question about what your opinion is about swingblade versus this style saw setup? I am going to buy a mill when we move over around burns in a year and I plan on milling all the lumber from pine and some blue pine for interior walls or ceilings.Thanks.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I answered an almost identical question recently but it must’ve been someone else. I don’t have any experience with a swing blade but from what I’ve seen, you’re limited to making dimensional lumber only. It sounds like that’s what you’ll be looking for but you also lose quite a bit due to the blade kerf. I really like the ease of setting up the log on my bandsaw mill. There’s very little loss due to the thin blade and more versatility in the lumber you can create.

[@bwhntr11111]

@@NorthwestSawyer I think you are right I am leaning towards the same mill you run..I should be able to pick this stuff up pretty easy I ran a big metal bandsaw and various other metal fab jobs for a living for 15 years.Learning curve will be how to get the most out of each log I expect.Thank you.

Why not use the forks to pick the log up and put it on the mill? I do it with my little John Deere 1025R all day long and it keeps the dirt out of the log.

XD Dang that was scary seeing you back towards the edge of that dropoff with the tractor. Hope you plan to address that in future updates! D:

It sounds like it’ll be set up with power and it’s insulated. Probably could have anyone stay in that beauty.

[@tfhummer]

Why mess around with the log tongs instead of just grabbing the logs with your pallet fork? Seems to me it would have been easier and faster? Probably could have grabbed two at a time

A little bit of all of that. Work is busy but I think I have some stuff coming up that would make good video. I don’t have any milling on the books. My fear is putting out videos that look like I’m just scraping the barrel. I only want to put out good content that folks like yourself will enjoy.
