I'm with you there, brother, with the struggle of holding up gas cans the older we get!

[@ericduck8273]

My Dad was a Sawyer. He cut porch decking from Yellow Pine that was from fallen timber in our State Forest. He cut all "edge grain" for his Dad's home. There were 400 grains in a 4-inch board. These trees were very old and very large. I remember seeing this wood on my Grandpa's porch. It was all milled, dried, and plained as center match at our mill. Wish I still had the mill.

[@peterseely9311]

Nice to see you laughing and smiling Nathan!

[@alanatolstad4824]

I had to rerun that a few times because I'd been waiting a long time to actually see it!!!

[@patricksmith9435]

It is amazing how the simple things can bring joy if you will let them, even if it is pumping fuel! Excellent video and learned something new.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy

[@sunnydalepro]

Nothing better than removing little constant irritations from the shop

[@davidnielsen4490]

Good evening Nathan, Beautiful quarter sawn boards. Truly, worth the extra money. I'm glad your father is joining you. This is great for both of you! May the LORD bless you as you spend time with him.

[@barryirby8609]

Two thoughts, well three or four. That's some beautifully quarter sawn oak. That edger will make short work of cleaning up those edges. And Third, could you take those triangular strips, joint the fresh faces and glue them together and make some excellent leg stock? With the glue lines right up the corners, no one would notice. And congrats on your Dad coming on board. If you got your work ethic from him he will be a real asset and you could use the help.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Mighty nice to be able to make your own true 2x4''s and 2x6's. Quality lumber that will last. Great to hear your dad will be coming to be a part of the expanding operations. He will enjoy the time with you.

Quarter sawing red oak makes it look like a totally different wood. Just gorgeous.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

It does!

[@stephenrutledge8122]

You may want to put a cork in the end of the fuel line. I pumped a dirt dobber into my tank on my Massey and had a heck of a time trying to figure out what was going on. It would run for a little after blowing air back up thru the fuel lines then would act like it was running out of fuel. Really appreciate your videos.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks appreciate the advice

[@LogHewer]

It's always a pleasure to see QS oak. And to hear the process explained by a fella who sounds like us. 😅 Good video, thank you.

Know exactly how you feel, used tofill a skid steer with 5 gallon cans, had to back the machine up to the back of the truck and stand in the bed. Trading work for access to a pump with a neighbor was such a luxury!

[@dalgguitars]

The right tool is always a pleasure to use even (especially) for simple jobs like filling a fuel tank. I'm smiling with you!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Car-dash-Ian]

That sure makes refuelling easier for you Nathan it will also help reduce contamination of the machine tanks with sawdust. Did you the best time to refuel with diesel is when you finish in the evening it eliminates condensation in your tanks!!

[@kodyoliver3873]

Thanks for sharing this! Excited to see your dad join you on some of your work too! Take care, Nathan!

[@tedmarthakirby8165]

Informative and interesting. Don’t have a mill, but leaned something new with this video.

[@grupp61]

Great video Nathan. I have been waiting for this production since you went down to Georgia and quartersawn the monster Sycamore trees. Moving on up buddy, gone are the days of old with you wearing sunglasses in the videos, and now you are smiling😎😁, yeah man it is good to see you pursuing your dreams. God bless

[@VeretenoVids]

I love quartersawn oak. I have dreams of making myself a Morris chair from it someday. Meanwhile, thank you for the eye candy!

[@Pyle81]

Nathan, I'm a new member to your channel, And you already have me hooked. Mark and Eddie up in Pittsburgh at Bus Motor Productions turned me on to your channel, And you haven't disappointed. We recently Re-Decked a 50 ton RGN 4 axle with 10/4 Oak planks. As you well know these type of trailers get used and abused and the decking just doesn't last. Due to all the extremely HEAVY equipment with a lot of weight concentrated in such a small area. So going with the extra .5" (2.5") we hope this might help get a little more life out of this deck. Btw, the 4th deck thats been on this 2014 Trailer. Yes, She gets used a LOT. But to replace this trailer today You're looking North of $70,000.00. And others than a little bit of welding and adding a few new cross members that where cracked. She's still straight and goes to work everyday. Now sporting a new red oak deck. 🇺🇲🍻🍹🇺🇲

[@Z-Bart]

You gave me a great idea for my manual mill. A couple 4x4 blocks cut to a 45 bevel maybe 4-6" long should hold my cant against the log stops so I'll be able to clamp the cant. Can't wait to try that.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yes would work for mine also,

[@Z-Bart]

@@OutoftheWoods0623 I am an idea guy. 😁

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

It's no wonder that cabinetmaker's like Stickily used quarter sawn oak in the Arts and Crafts movement. So beautiful Nathan! I built some Arts & Craft pieces in the past for folks and some trim in houses of the period. Perhaps you know how they used to place the furniture in a room with ammonia, which reacted with the tannins in the wood and darkened it to a pleasant black brown. I made a frame, stapled plastic for sides and placed bowls of ammonia inside and sealed it up. Turned out lovely! Thanks Kindly Nathan and Blessings to your Family! Looking forward to your Dad as well! DaveyJO in Pa.

Great video, Nathan....very instructive. I don't own a sawmill so there isn't much chance I'd ever use the knowledge you impart here -sawmilling - but I never stop learning. As for the t-shirt, I've actually been holding off for the Out of The Woods "Beard" shirt. I couldn't buy one when you ran them the last time. I hope they join portfolio again! Thanks for the video! All the very best!

Thanks Nathan, I learned a lot about the quarter sawn difference. Previously I've seen Oak, some with the medulary rays and some without, wondered the reason. Now I know! And can appreciate the extra work that goes into quarter sawn, definitely makes it worth the money!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy

[@keninglis7060]

And lots of triangular tomato stakes after you edge the boards!

[@silverlicious2086]

Did Nathan Smile? Looking forward to seeing your Dad get on board. Production is going to increase.. while having a lot of fun too.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Nice results from the small quarter .

[@greatnortherntroll6841]

Watching the fill-neck flex when you put the nozzle into it, caused me to realize that you're going to have a BIG Mess when the fuel tank has finally had enough of the stress. I'd build/install a support bracket under the neck to prevent a disaster down the road. The material that the fuel tank is made from, is pretty tough stuff, but eventually, it will fracture from the stress of supporting the weight of the fuel hose and nozzle.

You have every right to be grinning about improving your shop. Anything you can do to make your work easier is an investment that pays off over and over. Are those triangular pieces of red oak going to the burn pile, or will you try to use them as some kind of corner brace on a future project?

Excellent educational video .. going to work on that method . Thanks

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Good luck!

[@leeskithree]

hey Nate great video. Hope you don't mind me making a suggestion. In stead of trying to balance the wood for quarter sawing, why don't you make a jig on a 45 degree angle so you can just set the Cant in it. The way you do it, your Cant will always be at a 45degree angle. Just a suggestion bud. I defiantly learn a lot from you videos, keep up the good work. congrats on the over 100k

Thank you - in my opinion, you provide the best explanations on the various cuts. So - is your new diesel pump/crank better than your keyless entry and remote start tractor?

[@woodlandharvesthoneycompanyllc]

Another great video as always Nathan. I really enjoy and have learned from your videos. I wanted to ask you if you use blade lube on your mill. I have tried Dawn dish soap, pinesol and water. I guess it works fine but I don't know if it is really needed. Also in the winter you have to use antifreeze with it. I have heard about diesel fuel and oil being used. I'm concerned about that damaging the wood and it smells bad.

[@kevint9702]

Two questions, one, how do you finish a board for flooring? Can you demonstrate an end grain? Two, do you ever sell 3XT t-shirts? I'm a big boy and I need a big long shirt.

Chad must be dense because he's watching all these fancy cutting videos but all he can figure out how to do is cut the bark off then cut whatever presents itself.

The tank must be one of those, "I wish I'd done thats sooner!" moments. I wonder why they don't make more electric sawmills? Electric motors have a ton of torque. I'd think less maintenance as well.
