Milling Poplar Siding on the Woodmizer LT 15 wide

In this video I am taking poplar logs from our property and milling them down into 1"x12" siding boards. I'll be using these to enclose my carport / workshop.

Try not to drag you blade over the cut surface after you cut a board. Doing this will blunten the teeth as the sawdust has an abrasive effect

[@RobertNordman-jb2gm]

You may want to build a ramp & settling area to put your logs on so your tractor does not knock your level rails out of wack

That's in the plan. The mill is in a temporary spot for now. Thanks for watching and interacting!

How come you don’t use cedar for the outside?

[@SevenOaksOutdoors]

I have very little cedar on this property and didn’t want to have to buy any. It would be ideal for siding though. Thanks for checking out the channel! I appreciate it!

You are throwing away a lot of good wood with those offcuts. It hurts me to watch ;).

[@SevenOaksOutdoors]

Any suggestions on how to use the cutoffs is greatly appreciated as I strive to get better at this? Thank you for participating and supporting my channel!

@@SevenOaksOutdoors I give several tutorials on my KZbin channel on getting the most out of your logs. Starting a bit higher on the log and making cuts to limit the size of the offcut is a good place to start. Keep milling! It is a blast.
