We always need more cowbell... Very informative video brother .. I sent you a sticker but im not getting any tracking status so I'm sending another one... Your might have 2 coming lol... Have a great day my friend

[@jessiehensley2904]

I like that wood better the the store pine they had for the backstop. Holds up much better.

[@BigDaddy_MRI]

Just remember; don’t leave home with your pajamas on, avoid the pith wood, keep the mill lubricated, and thank the Good Lord for another day, rain or shine. Everything else is just extra gravy or a good lesson to learn. Love the music you use. It really makes the videos an extra notch above a pleasure to watch. Great video, Nathan!! Thank you!!

Pretty plain, Nathan, that you’ve found your niche in life! Anybody who can stay that patient on a literally “crappy” day, is imbued with inner strength that only comes from true contentment. Congratulations! 😁👍👍❗️

Yes, Mark Galicic's KZbin channel is good. Can't beat seeing him and The Eddie Horvath milling lumber and building their buildings. Outdoors with the Morgans is a great channel, too! I feel like I know their family better than I know my own!

[@asbrand]

I asked about a month ago or so about your suspenders, you gave me the link and I ordered a set. They AREN'T cheap but WOW they are nice. Best bang for the buck in suspenders ever!!

Nathan when you get to replacing the kiln roof. Tar paper over chip board and 1x4s for slats are sufficient to anchor sheet metal.

[@benrudman3917]

Always a good day when a new otw video pops up. Especially a 20 minute video! I really appreciate the detailed explanation on the pith and the juvenile wood shrinking more in its length. I didn’t know that, but makes perfect sense when you explained the twist. I’ve threw axes for the first time last summer. Something that looks so easy sure isn’t. Good stuff as always Nathan. Much appreciated. -Ben

[@greglautz8470]

I've been watching every video that you and Mark put out for the last few months. I don't know how I found your channel don't know how I found his, but as far as sawmill channels go, you are my top two choices

[@dbutler5584]

Looking at that log, I thought you had drawn something on it. Amazing it would crack that fast.

Never miss one of Mark and Eddie's sawmill videos. Poplar is by far the best wood species for interior paint grade mill work.

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Always great. Thanks so much.

Thanks for explaining how the juvenile wood effects the boards... I knew that I wanted to keep The log centered now I know why! thank you!

[@mstrdiver]

Nathan - A question from the cheap seats if you would be so kind to answer. Because of the amount and depth of checking in this tulip poplar, would you gain anything by quarter sawing this rascal? If you already answered this, my apologies as I got called away and didn't hear all of your explanations.

[@10harryspurs]

Stuck here in lockdown in Southern England, it is very relaxing to watch you at work. I particularly like the way you are building your barn, cutting timbers and trimming and adapting them to where they will go. Very interesting. Keep going and stay safe.

Nathan. As always another great video. Appreciated the explanation of the milling around the pith. Would love to visit your mill sometime, I have a freind in Mount Joliet TN and might make a detour when I make a trip to see him. Beautiful country where you live. The weather looked great also, 73 degrees and sunny here today in western New York

[@alanatolstad4824]

I was about to make a comment on that wood being as "Blond and Bland" as the foods we are supposedly notorious for in the upper Plains states! But, seeing the designation, it makes sense!---I was a bit concerned at your absence, figured it was weather-related and decided to be patient and await your emergence.---Shouldn't laugh at your "mondays", but we've all had 'em, so it was lighthearted to say the least!---(I'm holding out hope that one day, you'll let loose with a chuckle that'll let the sun shine on camera!)

[@stuartwoodcock9780]

The explanations in this video make perfect sense. Im getting a little Alaskan chainsaw mill for Christmas. Even though they are small I will be using what Im learning from you and watching you cut your timber to start cutting my owns timber. Thanks for for all your hard work, Cheers

Good evening Nathan, You did s great job explaining things today. Thank you. Even though I was in the millwork business for 31 years, you taught me something today. Have a great weekend.

[@stevemcgarrett303]

Mark has a great channel. You and him are my favorite sawmill channels.

[@silverlicious2086]

Started out "crappy"... but ended up having a little fun throwing the Ax. Good to see it Nathan.

[@diedredunham7383]

You always make sawing interesting. Some times I want a saw mill, but I don't think I'd get enough use of it. Plus I'm turning 70 in June, so my age is working against me with the heavy boards. I wish I was close to you and could get some of your burn pile. Kansas is a little far away though. I'm going to do a bunch of shelves and that wood would do well for some of them.

[@grahamallen3941]

Good advice there Nathan on how the birds shrink at different rates that cause the bow in the wood. Had a similar problem with my shed roof. Had a grey squirrel rip my roof felt off, wind and water completed the job so I’m waiting for a few dry days to strip off the osb board and replace with ply and metal. Nothing worse than stepping in 💩! Hope you managed to get rid of the Tom cat scent!! Take care dear friend, be safe. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲👍

[@crosshairstare]

Sometimes you step out of one pile right into another, as long as you keep stepping, that's all that matters.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Agreed

[@erikleorga]

Mark's channel was a suggestion by KZbin's algorithm after watching both you, Nathan, and Wes. Not enough channels out there of sawyers milling.

[@jimkline9461]

Great Video Nathan, thank you for the lesson and explanation of why wood gets warped as it dries. You are correct, Mark, THE Eddie, and the bus motor have a great channel, been watching them and you for awhile now. Continue the great work.

[@woodlandharvesthoneycompanyllc]

Nathan thank you for sharing your knowledge. I know it is not easy filming the videos for KZbin. Let me return a little of your kindness by sharing something I have learned with you. In reference to the checking of your log even after you coated it with Anchorseal. I had some of the same issues using Anchorseal. Now I use Gorilla glue to paint the end grain. It works much better than Anchorseal and it is much less expensive. I started out using Titebond(the outdoor kind)then found out Gorilla glue was even less expensive. It totally seals the log ends and locks out the air. I hope this will help save some of your lumber due to loss by checking. You can get 1gallon jugs from Amazon.

[@jeffwilkinson8742]

Your vids are like a Zen meditation for me. Love them so much. If you explain what you are thinking when approaching the cuts, I wonder if you could add some lines onto the end of the lumber to visually show us what you are aiming for, whether digitally in post or even with chalk so we can see what your goal is for milling. If it's inconvenient or just don't feel like it, that's super cool, I'm just interested in your approach that's all. Keep up the rad work!

thanks RIch, appreciate it,

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I was talking to an old sawmill guy a couple weeks ago. He was telling me that poplar is one of the best for holding fasteners. There was a kind of pine that he said was terrible, but I don't remember which one he said it was.

[@DM-uv3sd]

A 1"x4" where you are screwing the metal down is sufficient, just be sure it is secure to the OSB and (framing) where possible. Double decking may overload the framing especially if you are subject to Snow.

Nathan, I’m surprised you don’t mix the sawdust in with your vegetable garden soil, great for moisture retention and adds organic matter.

[@chriswalters8110]

He’s explained a few times that several species, that he saws, are actually poisonous if he were to amend the soil with sawdust.

[@timothypalmer5846]

You should use 2 x 4 perlins, make sure you nail them into the rafters. You can leave osb on. You can insulate between perlins.

[@TheGardenerNorth]

There are two times a year that hard and softwood trees become basically a massive tube of water. Spring and Fall. I suspect that the tree was in this flow time and the trunk was saturated and swollen with water. My cheap theory of why its checking so drastically.

[@markhgillett]

I believe if you pre-drill the osb and use appropriate fasteners you won't have an issue. You could put some adhesive in the hole before screwing the fasteners

[@pup734]

Hi Nathan, I also like Mark Golick he also has a circular mill and talks while sawing a lot of good content. I think he must be neighbors to Mike Morgan.

[@pup734]

Good info thanks for sharing

[@robertsnyder5193]

What you could do to clarify your methods is cut a cookie and draw on the end and show and tell with visual aids . Blessed day all.

[@207carter]

Way cool brother great video

[@itatane]

Another downside of building with OSB... Unless it is specifically fire retardant, it burns like no tomorrow. We were fixing the roof of my mom's house and we pulled out a lot of OSB and replaced it with exterior grade plywood decking. Anyways, burning the OSB, we realized that it's basically a pres-to-log in sheet form. Not comforting when you realize that the insulation in a lot of modern houses is cellulose fiber. (we burned some of that too, and while it didn't go up in flames, it acted like charcoal, holding embers for a long time.)

[@jplwoodworks]

Wish that is all the damage I had. Had a tree go thru my little shop. In the process of putting it back together. Salvaged what I could. Live in Sulphur Louisiana and got hit by two major hurricanes. Going to mill that up for flooring in my house. Building supplies have doubled here recently.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

hate to hear that, hope you get things back to normal,

[@jplwoodworks]

Thanks. Enjoy your channel. Inspired me to mill up that tree. It was a huge yellow pine. 26 inches at the base and about 70 feet tall. Straight as an arrow. Actually had 2like that that fell.

[@stephenjohnson1221]

how many hours do you use the mill for before you give the motor a service.

[@brucep9123]

Nate, It might be nice if all of your wood eqipmentand storage were part of an "L" shaped building complex ona corner of your yard. In That was you could have a paved roadway to/from the area and have the logs stored under roof on the right side. The middle would be the WoodMizer and the left side would have enough roofed storage to enclose the naturally drying lumber with the Kilns just beyond. it seems that such an arrangement might just make the work flow in a more efficient way . Thx BP

[@woopimagpie]

Wow, I just took a look at Mark's channel. Knowing very little about timber milling, such as I do, I found it fascinating. The vertical circular sawing method is quite different isn't it? Mark's setup certainly chews through the logs no problem at all. At first I was a tad concerned about what would happen should the dog's grip on the vertical log fail for some reason - I rather think you would not want to be anywhere near it if that happened. Mark is quite attentive to that though, no doubt he has similar concerns! Thanks for the recommend - now I have another timber milling channel to enjoy. Although, Mark's videos don't have the nice chill vibe yours do, but still great entertainment and education. He doesn't have your great accent either. Cheers.

[@echuck66]

[@jimlane6335]

I never gave much thought to screws into OSB boards holding metal roofing but what you said makes a lot of sense!! I was told by a roofer that on a house you should use 30 lb. felt over the decking rather than 15lb. felt. More durable I reckon. One other thing I thought of while watching this. It's gettin' on toward winter and I know there are still folks around here and more out where it's still more country who burn a fire in a fireplace or stove to supplement the heating costs. A lot of them are on a fixed income too. I see these "scabs", the bark cuts, and you put them on the burn pile, which is fine I guess. Bu I was thinkin' maybe you had some friends who might come around and collect such as that up, cut it to stove or fireplace length and give it to some of these older folks, or even younger ones, maybe with young'uns, who need it for heating, even cooking. I know you don't have the time to do such as this yourself Nathan but it could make the difference for some folks up thar in them Hills!! We're flatlanders down this way but it still gets cold!!

[@marcelw223]

Some days life is just a little more challenging than others, but we're still on the right side of the dirt! Great video Nathan! I have never been a fan of OSB board for two reasons. If it gets wet it swells and then you can just throw it in the burn pile and the issue you're having with screws. Plywood is a bit more expensive but far more superior to OSB in my opinion. I follow Mark Galicic's channel as well, he and Eddie have some great videos.
