I have four very nice Ponderosa pine logs I will be putting on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. I will be getting some lumber up out’n these logs like a gangsta. OK not really but sort of. I get some very nice lumber and some very nice 6 x 8 timbers. They were so nice it put me in the mood to do some timber framing. But only for a moment. That mood soon passed.

Thanks, I could tell it was going to be a good evening to do a time lapse. I wasn’t expecting the deer to be taking such a starring role.

I don't know from "gangsta", but you're definitely working that Dirty Harry '70s vibe (4:30 mark.) Good use of the Yogi Berra reference; a la "Include me out"(of the proceedings.) And regarding wise sayings, I nearly always fall back on: "A Gentleman goes when he can, a Fool goes when he must." Cheers from a slowly drying Linn County.

Packing my Dirty Harry peavy instead of a .44. That could work. Ah yes that’s another one of the great Yogi isms. I will have to remember the one about the gentleman and the fool. Good stuff.

Another goodun sir and that ending……. Unique and great footage. That view out that direction would be priceless for a house or cabin or……… a saw mill

@WilsonForestLands Жыл бұрын

Or maybe a good view for a cabin and a sawmill. I sometimes think about doing a video series about using the sawmill to build a cabin there. Thanks for the comment Walt.

Not gonna lie there is something satisfying about watching a log being milled. (i know not gangsta at all)

@WilsonForestLands Жыл бұрын

There’s something satisfying about milling one too. And to know people are finding it satisfying to watch. OK that was even less gangsta.

@lpeterman Жыл бұрын

Ok, serious question(s) time: Extra heavy opening/flitch/off-cut, (9:15 mark) on 3rd log. Is that to save time while filming? Some defect unseen by camera angle? Next question: When milling P. pine, do you use any sap/pitch cutting additives in the lube system? (I'll be milling some of my culled/thinned Valley Ponderosa over the next few weeks and I'd like to preserve my blades.) Most important question: Do you have Ips beetle outbreaks after felling/bucking P pine? If so, how do you mitigate Ips outbreaks? (I'm extry-cautious with P pine and possible Ips infestations, especially from March through October.) Any thoughts/advice, humourous or other?

I was wondering about the bug's too. I have 26 yellow pine logs in SE Texas and have tried sprinkling 2 boxes of mule team borax on the logs before a rain. Just to see if it helps. I'll guess I'll see in 4 to 6 months......

As far as the deep opening cut, that question inspired my next video that I recorded today. The answer to that will probably come out Tuesday. I just use Dawn dish detergent in my blade lube. I didn’t use lube a lot of the time on that tree. I only used it on a few parts where I was getting a little build up, and on some of the widest cuts. That tree was cut early last fall and it’s been laying around since then. Some pine just doesn’t build up, especially some of the ones I have done that were small and mostly sapwood. But then there are some, especially bigger ones where I have to pour a lot of water on, especially in the heartwood. That could be another good subject for another video. As far as ips. The only pines I have been taking are ones that are already dead or dying from bugs attacking them. The foresters here say don’t cut pine from January through July. If I do have live ones to cut, I usually wait until right after fire season ends and cut them as early in the fall as I can. Maybe another subject for another video. I may be close to your neck of the woods this coming weekend.

I don’t know if it’s the same in Texas as it is here on the west coast. Here they say don’t cut pine between January and July. And if you do, make sure you dispose of the parts that could breed bugs.
