Million-Dollar Sawmill Blueprint: How to Build a Profitable Sawmill Business!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

now the is a video I wish I would have made, well done,

[@randybowe3986]

@@OutoftheWoods0623 I also watch your channel, Nathan!

[@Danash929]

Have learned a ton from you too, Nathan! Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Thanks! Good to hear that! I kind of got into the Christmas Spirit!

[@TaylorLopez-z5p]

I'm glad you made this video it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $34k monthly and a good daughter full of love

[@HsgsvgGzvsgs]

$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!

[@AndreasNellen]

wow this awesome I'm 41 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

[@HsgsvgGzvsgs]

No one likes market risk, but without longer retirement, taking on risk is often a necessary evil to compensate for inflation

[@AndreasNellen]

My wife is willing to work for another 5 years if needed. Are we in good shape? Will we be okay if I begin withdrawing from Social Security when I'm 41 and my wife is 40? Should we hire a financial planner to help us navigate this?

[@HsgsvgGzvsgs]

These are crucial questions for a financial planner. I met mine at a NYSE summit, and with her help, my wife and I reallocated our $1.7M portfolio between a traditional IRA and a brokerage account. She's been making investments with our approval and has helped us recover twice our losses. We're holding steady and carefully navigating more markets

[@MattSahlberg]

Enjoy watching all your videos and listening to the knowledge you share with all of us that love to run a sawmill. Your videos have helped me make better lumber and push me deeper into sawmilling. Thank you to you and your family. Merry Christmas!!!!

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!

[@lastplacetrophy3821]

I started a sawmill business just under a year ago as a secondary income and as a hobby. I'm currently considering making it my full time occupation and you've been a big inspiration. Thank you.

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Glad I could help, good luck with the business! It will come, just keep on pushing! Merry Christmas!

Robert, thanks for being such an inspiration and superb teacher. I have an LT50 in Ontario that I love to run. Hoping to add an edger to the mix this coming year. Merry Christmas!

[@mathiasnilsson789]

Mr hobby hardwood, i need to get me a sawmill, my Stihl ms881 is not that appreciated in my neighborhood anymore and i cant understand why? Thinking about to get an electric mill, like a LT15 or a cheaper model, lx50. Do you have any recommendations about my possible upgrade,....merry christmas and best regards from Sweden🌲

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Hello Sweden! The electric mills are quieter and very effective. I had an LT15, and it was the most accurate mill I owned. Merry Christmas.

[@AnthonyMigliaccioSr-fk3go]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GOD BLESS

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Thanks! Merry Christmas as well.

[@Avidwoodworker]

Well now you have done it . . . Cost me $85,000! Thanks a lot. LOL! Just kidding. Actually, I am serious about the thank you. You convinced me to skip the LT50. I just put our deposit down for the LT70Super. We mill and kiln dry as a service. We are doing pretty well with our LT40Wide and 3 kilns, but we just landed a number of large jobs in the past 2 months and there is no way our 40 can keep up. Merry Christmas to you and the family!

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

That's great! It's stupid fast compared to LT40, but has lots of moving parts, and like most things, takes a little "learning" and stuff. Make sure you go to WM and do a full run through and check, with logs, before you take delivery and make sure it's perfect before to shows up at your place.

[@PineInTheAshMilling]

Great video Robert, you and your family have a Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

By far the best "warm and fuzzy" You have done!! I'll have to save this one for later. I've got a feeling I might need to watch it a bunch more next year! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and the rest of the Milton's!

Thanks!

[@charleshanna2089]

I know its workable After I paid off my sawmill a Log Master LM 6 and an edger a year ahead of tim Now the banks wont loan me anything Debt free with 80 acres of land and a commercial sawmill They wouldnt loan me $10,000 for materials to build some cabins No explanation

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Times are tough! Keep on and get er done.

[@rossinnz]

Thanks.

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChadMoore-v1h]

Well this might have been inspiring to some it didn't tell us anything. I've had a wood mizer mill for two years and can't give lumber away

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Actually, it told you all you need to know about how to make a successful sawmill business. However, it sounds like you may benefit from watching a bunch of my other videos on how to saw up high grade lumber, from getting logs, to understanding grade, to reading stress, minimizing defects, increasing production and all that stuff that went into us being ranked the highest grade lumber producer in the state for several years running, and his we sell to people all over the country. if you can't give your lumber away, there is something wrong, somewhere. I will help if I can. Merry Christmas!

[@ChadMoore-v1h]

@HobbyHardwoodAlabama actually the problem is our local government in calhoun ga. The codes are so strict you cant use your milled lumber for anything. Not even a dog house or a wood shed. Our county board has given itself so much power over the public it's insane. We have been trying to roll back there control but its been an uphill struggle. Most of my trees are pine but there the best I've seen. Average 30 inch on the stump and about 60 feet to the first limb. I consistently make 2x12x12 with straight grain and no knots. But as I said with no market because of county rules what's the point. And Marry Christmas to you and yours as well

[@throngcleaver]

Robert, you are absolutely correct, but no business for me! Been there, done that, sold it, and retired at 46. Besides, I don't have a Martha, nor a Chip! 😉 Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[@throngcleaver]

@HobbyHardwoodAlabama Thank you!

[@randybowe3986]

Sorry Robert , feel like I’ve been cheating on you! I have been watching a spandex sawmill show. I guess a am a male woodworker. Merry Christmas to you and family.

[@HobbyHardwoodAlabama]

Well, when I want to watch spandex, I go turn on boating videos, it's more bikinis than spandex!
