That old bench is what brought me to the Morgans. I was interested in shooting benches at the time. Not really what your channel is about but I happened upon that video and ... not blowing smoke at you but.. it was the best build video I found. you had material listed, saw cuts, measurements and even a view of all the more scrap ends that would be left over after the project was finished. I subscribed to your channel and watched you grow ever since. through the mingo marker, the little red UTV trailer, numerous tractors, machinery and buildings, parties, weddings and births.

Kids today definitely need to be brought up from birth to eighteen 'doing without' and learning to appreciate what they have, my daughter used to do the same thing, bring large trash bags of 'new' and 'used once' to Goodwill or Salvation Army, it used to drive me nuts, now she complains about her daughters doing the same thing, and they always complain about not being able to save money ???

[@brucevallee5623]

Just a heads up on your LCD screen on the kiln. If direct sunlight hits the screen over a period of time it will wash out the display. You can just make a small cover to protect it in case it's going to be exposed. Just a PM idea.

[@kennethrobertson1201]

If you’re going to stack kiln dried wood you are going to need a building temperature controlled

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

I thought about that too, and maybe I missed Mike mentioning what the plan was to store the kiln dried lumber, in temp controlled space, but after watching this channel for years, I've learned that Mike always thinks ahead, and most likely already has a plan for that.

[@user-rk2wd8id4b]

@@kennethrobertson1201that’s not necessarily true. Once the wood is dried and the bound water is removed the cellular structure of the wood has changed. It will pick up some free water from sitting and equalize to whatever the equilibrium moisture content is. That water does leave rapidly once it’s brought into a conditioned space. It’s the same reason you need your bring hardwood flooring into your house for a couple weeks before it is installed.

Great video, Mike. Yes, I agree with you. That mini skid is going to be the workhorse of the wood yard. Good decision on the concrete floor for the pole barn. After that, the sawmill vacuum system would definitely be a good addition to the sawmill.

[@straydawg461]

[@ronaldferino3414]

looking forward to the kiln, When I was young I helped stick and kiln dry lumber, it was a great job and quite the daily workout better than a gym because I got paid to do rather than pay to join a gym. We had two 30,000 thousand foot kilns, it kept two of us pretty busy loading, unloading and sticking to keep the shop running. Great memories!!!!

[@erichedges2948]

Mike, Glad for all improvements. The mini skid will help with firewood baskets by being able to put them close together than with big skid steer. If you wanted to. Thanks, Eric Hedges

Mike, It's coming together nicely for you. Glad for you.

[@millcrafters]

I respect your abilities, and your in-depth knowledge and experience which makes you do everything right. I had some thoughts on the kiln and wanted to get yours, or others feedback. You mentioned that you were going to use the side entrance on the container method for loading, and off-loading stock. I've seen the railroad tracks approach before entering from one end. I was considering the variables and with a side door, if you had half of the kiln loaded and was part way through the cure you would have a challenge adding additional wood. If you stacked it on top or alongside, you have a logistics challenge. With the railroad tracks approach you could slide the whole thing out, have access to both sides and be able to load the other side. It just gives you the side-by-side option. If you wanted to stack on top, it would be advisable to remove the partially cured stack, and put the fresh wood on the bottom, and then put the partially cured stack on top. Knowing you have the side-by-side option, you would stack one side halfway across knowing the other side is available without disturbing the original stack, other than it goes for a slide out ride while stacking the other side. Like I said, I am not an experienced kiln user. Yours or others thoughts on the matter?

[@finnyasfinn0510]

Hello! 😊 Pressure treating doesn't prevent decay, it just retards it a bit. Creosote is the best, that's why railroads still use it. I have creosote posts in the ground for 35 years and some are still holding well but most have rotted at the ground level.

Howdy! Creosote is almost as good as raw Osage Orange- we have some fence posts as old as I am (soon 70) still good, and many >50 years old. And of 14 creosote posts in our shed, all but one are still solid. I replaced the missing bottom of that one with a 4’ Osage Orange post. It’ll outlive me.

Looking forward to the Air-Idry install. I suspect yours will look better than there's! lol

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

Hi Mike, I know you already have a plan for loading/unloading the kiln, probably the Vermeer mini skid, and possibly a pallet jack for side to side, though was thinking about your military friend with the kiln and his rail system. I thought if you had a rail that goes the full length of shipping container, with some metal/wood pallets and bolted metal rail casters to them, it would make the process easier, side to side. You've mentioned that before, but sounds like you've come up with a different plan, so will wait and see how you load/unload without a rail system. And after watching your channel for years, I know you don't do anything without a plan first...so just my two cents on it. Have a Day!🙂

When I moved out of Nashville I had some furniture in a box type cabinets and shelves that I had no reason to take with me so I put them out near the street with a "free" sign on them. A short while later I heard the most awful kerfuffle coming from that direction. I wouldn't have given you $2 for all of that stuff, but two women were in a fistfight over one of those cabinets! It was a real knock down - drag out. I just shut the door and went back to packing. 🤣
