Hat I wear: amzn.to/3nZ1Khu

[@steveshoemaker6347]

A lot of good content in this fine video.....Thanks Nathan 👍 Nathan you can look me up on the internet look for Steve Shoemaker in the Blue Angels in the 1970's....Was in the Vietnam War in a F-4 Phantom....... Shoe🇺🇸

[@stephaniewilson3955]

I have a bush hat like yours. Mine is made of leather and has already lasted me about 30 years.

[@georgepeart9837]

As a retired saw filer I can assure you that no set on a blade it will not cut straight under load. Nathan please find an old filer to show you the finer points of sharpening saws 😊

[@donaldadams5342]

As the saying goes, 'I could sit & watch you cut Cedar all day'. There is something so satisfying in looking at Cedar & you seem to cut some very nice Cedar Nathan. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@lakeeriewest1102]

Even though I have nothing to do with the 'lumber industry' I thoroughly enjoy watching your informational videos about the craft of milling. You explain things extremely well and I never feel like you're talking down to your viewers. I always watch your videos to the end, because I enjoy your drone footage. You always pick out such wonderful music to play along with the footage. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep on watching!!

[@quicksilver4547]

When I was a kid my grandfather, who was an engineer, built his own blade sharpener. After he retired, he would sharpen blades for the neighbor farms. He could sharpen handsaws, sawmill blades, and hacksaw blades. A lucrative little business that gave him something to do, as well as, help his neighbors. Thanks for a tour of your great little machine.

[@brucebello2049]

Enjoyed that Nathan, thank you for the great closing drone shot and music, very relaxing

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job Nathan, thanks for sharing your sharpening setup and letting us see how easily it works. Pretty cool setup. Stay safe around there and keep up the good videos and the beautiful drone photography , so peaceful and calming. Fred.

[@greatsilentwatcher]

That was really sharp. Thanks.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You bet

[@joebufford2972]

This is Joe from Wildwood, Tennessee at Foothills and Smokies and at cedar is the most beautiful I've seen yet with that reddish purple and I know it smells so good 😍

[@johngagne986]

Boy that is pretty cedar. I was imaging that on a floor. Beautiful.

[@Pascalore]

I think another channel is called 'Hobby Hardwood' (edit name) and he added 'fingers' to the bottom of his board return bars. When the cut board(s) drop off the cant, the pushed end raises up and the fingers pick up the board(s) to push as far as the return bars can push it/them. Saves a bit of work.

[@riversider681]

Hi Nathan, I love your channel. When you invert those gallon jugs to load into your lubrication tank, swirl the gallon jug and the fluid will exit the jug a lot faster. doesn't have to be continuous, just get it started and it will go on its own.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

👍👍👍

[@alanatolstad4824]

My computer did something weird this morning when I tried to reply.---There is a Gesundheit in there! And, what about nature turns that beautiful wood that color!

[@PowellRoadDIY]

My father had a sanborn mini max which has a 5”1/2 inch band. He had all the equipment to sharpen his blades. Tension roller , the stuff to braze in new teeth and sweg and block the teeth. I remember he got someone from out of Georgia to come to our house to teach him how to sharpen his blades. Then I’m turn he taught me how to do it while he was learning. It saved so much money and time taking the blades to the saw shop which was an hour one way in Manning South Carolina. Etheridge saw shop. He bought his mill back in 1986 ran it on his off time from international paper in Georgetown SC. Man I remember those days working with him at that sawmill. Thought me a lot in life I use to this day. Wish I still had that sawmill, it was stolen off of the property he stored it at. He passed away in 2009 and soon after I had a short prison sentence for violating probation. When I got home I went to go move it to my house to start working on it to start working it and it was stolen. I knew who stole it and went to the law and got no help. I had no money and none of my family members would help me. So using what I was given from my dad…….. years of experience on how to be a leader and not a follower. I got my ass a job ……… I’ve been in supervision for over 13 years now. General Foreman at my job. I’m hoping one day to purchase some kind of mill.

[@smitty4912]

Back when I was in College ( 60's ) , I visited my Great Uncles saw sharpening shop in Gillette, WY and his band saw sharpener was Manual feed, Boy have the business come a Long way!!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Very cool!

[@allanb9360]

Thanks Nathan for filling in the blanks

[@brandie976]

15:04 Bless You 😊 Another great video, thank you! Hope you have a Happy Easter!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you! You too!

[@JamesHarris-yq3mu]

When buying washed fluid, stock up on the winter formula. More alcohol so probably cleaner blades.

[@jimlane6335]

I had meant to suggest this before when seeing you saw cedar. The sawdust from it could be bagged and given to friends and relatives to put in their closets to control the moths that eat wool and other fabrics. I know you have a lot on your plate but I thought that might be something you would consider. I always enjoy your videos. I sort of feel ike we're actually friends, although I know you far better than you know me. But I'm pretty easy going.

[@jamesstrickland7776]

Gorgeous drone footage, I love those Mountains. Thanks for sharing your videos Nathan.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CavanBaillie]

OMG Nathan, you have the finest toys... and so many. I envy you.

[@jimtibbe5739]

Not sure you would be interested in this idea but on my lube tank I drilled a hole that fits an 1 1/2 x 4” pvc pipe with a cap. This allows me to never have to unhook the tank you can than fill from the top by just investing the jug into the hole and it makes it much easier to fill the lube tank. I have enjoyed all the content you put out thanks much. Jim t

[@michelem9341]

Great video. Learned something new! Beautiful wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Glad to help

[@farmerbob139]

lol! I used to get hemmings junk car calendars shipped to BC... had to give it up when shipping went to $45 for an $18 dollar calendar.

[@shelly103b]

Nathan your videos are always edutaining. Hoping you and your family have a peaceful and thankful Easter. Keep them coming brother.

[@gregemoates1729]

I love this valley definitely Gods country.

[@markgruenberg6277]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Be well and stay safe.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You bet

[@hjemison]

You know, I had a thought about the trail of sawdust alongside the sawmill. What about setting up one of those automatic chicken feeders where the sawdust lands to carry away from the mill. Just a thought.

[@2naturesownplace]

@N8than, 220 volt will/does keep your power bill down. ( never understood why America stuck with 120v/60hz.) And for heating the oil. Dangle a standard light bulb not LED into the oil. This will keep the viscosity just right without overheating.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

good point

[@smitty4912]

Or a Heat Lamp mounted under the tank!

[@dmorgan28]

Great video Nathan. Your saw mill is awesome. I really like that sharpening machine too. 👍❤️

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelstagar525]

Good advice from experience with related options.

[@helenaddington1672]

That is a pretty neat contraption.

[@James.......]

Good stuff

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Appreciate it

[@Ubotit_Unaymit]

15:02 gasundheit! I empathize. Springtime in the Ohio River Valley.

[@timothyallbritton1961]

Hey Nathan, I heard you say that you have 220 at your mill and was wandering if you had thought about using an electric motor to power the mill instead of the engine? I have an LT40 and removed the Honda and replaced it with a 10 HP Baldor and cannot believe how quite it is. I have a 15KW generator to run everything here if the power goes out that sits most years without ever even using it so I removed the Honda and wired it into the generator two years ago. My ears finally quit ringing and the electricity is way cheaper than the gasoline and would be even cheaper than the diesel. Great videos as always :)

[@tandan6712]

Great info, thanks for the video!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You bet!

[@adventuresofafirestarter3718]

Pretty country!

[@randyratcliff8790]

Luv your videos. Like seeing the cedar

[@fondadeen1164]

Man that's some beautiful cedar Nathan

[@glennyork6800]

Amazing thanks for sharing as it satisfied a bunch of inquisitive wondering minds who wanted to know.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@billmaclellan1282]

I really enjoy your videos, I have been following you for years and really enjoy them. But you need to make some adjustments to your sharpener. First you need to adjust your oil at the wheel. You can move it until it almost touches the wheel, it will almost eliminate that oil mist completely. Second you need to slow down your blade feed and take way less off on the grind. It should not slow your wheel down. If needed go around twice. If you keep going at that rate you will ruin the CBN wheel believe me I found that out the hard way. Third you need to adjust your wipers looks like your blades are dripping in grinding oil. These tips should help. Keep up the great work.

[@timziegler9358]

You are a very generous and helpful man with the information on the saw! Best wishes.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you very much!

[@ChiefBridgeFuser]

Thank you!

[@NeilSoulo]

Add a small immersion heater to your oil tank on the blade sharpener. Set the thermostat to the temperature you want, and you'll be all set.

[@estellemalan4921]

Be safe for the weekend and happy Easter

[@botfoblhrp]

Hey , i was just trying to explain this to my son, 😁 , thanks for showing this.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

No problem 👍

[@richardthornhill4630]

Good advice for potential sawyers. Beautiful cedar.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@Sawmill_IND]

Thanks for information Nathan ,like it

[@jamesrichardson5162]

This is Amazing quality information thank you so much for this lesson so yousful sir 😊

[@12ar34sw]

I enjoyed your video. It is nice to see different equipment in use. I like your sharpening machine. Woodmizer makes some excellent equipment. I bought a simple sharpening machine and saw set from Woodland Mills. I gave about a grand for the pair together. I am a weekend warrior when it comes to milling. I figure if I can sharpen my own blades, I save money and insure I always have blades available to use when needed. Alan

[@ddevlin13]

15:03 - Bless you! :)

[@johnaddis1022]

Bless you! Cedar makes me sneeze too!

[@fredproctor6973]

That is some really nice cedar.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

It sure is!

[@darrenbyrne5465]

You do tennessee proud. I'd have an extremely poor opinion of it right now if I didn't know decent folk like yourself lived there

[@LtGrandpoobah]

15:03 Bless you.

[@georgeescaped6035]

i like the "HILLBILLY" hat, ever thought of offering a blade sharpening service?

[@bobbg9041]

LOL. DROVE OVER YOUR GO PRO WITH THE TRACTOR, your close to Nashville That sounds like a country song.

[@krisbouchard6146]

Another very enjoyable video - thanks ! I learned a bit as well. Your editing has always been very good, and this video was very well done.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jasonholloway998]

You talk however you want brother!

[@vanhudson5156]

You're speaking english with an east tennessee flair

[@thomasproctor3047]

If you would cut a 5/8" or 3/4" board from each slab on your first cut it would make great material for making Blue Bird nesting boxes. I am sure people would be willing to buy it and pay for shipping.

[@johnking8679]

That's what the Aussies call a "dinkum bush wacker" hat - from the "Land of Wonder, the Land Down Under " !! Ha, Ha !!

[@alwayssearching1882]

Fabulous upload. That is some of the finest cedar boards I've seen. The smell must be worthy of the sock drawer. What do you do with the top cuts of cedar.

[@randyzapton6424]

Why not put a small heater in the oil (block heater)?

[@haroldwalters6409]

Good video and good info

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@ronsafreed2400]

yep,,im going to get one of those hats,,,should you get one size bigger then your head size or not,,,it pays to have things that help you out...if your doing it for a living,,its a must,,,if you afford can it.. thats great looking ceder...be careful Nathan..

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I went a size bigger

[@kevinrecoskie519]

The set is as important as the sharpening. You have to set the blades in my opinion.

[@tanatalus1]

Very informative. Thanks Nathan, you're the best!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I appreciate that!

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Cedar is such a pretty grain to look at.

[@snobear41]

Thank you Nathan, Speaking of shipping charges, who do you use to ship your heavy slabs?- Happy Easter -Tyler

[@bobwollard9105]

Thanks, Nathan. That was another fine episode. We really appreciate that you are taking us along on your life journey. Happy Easter, brother.

[@johnwebster6852]

Have you ever been to Washington State ? Better yet Seattle ? We have serious trees !

[@bobblossom2713]

That sharpener is sweet, but what happens if you have to set your kerf? oops you answered my question about 2 minutes after I asked the question...Keep on truckin Sir Elliot

[@zildjian4life433]

At 15:00 God Bless You!! 😂

[@josephroman2126]

Consider a submersible aquarium heater for your oil. And a question. Do you kiln dry cedar, if so will aroma penetrate other wood in the kiln?

[@courtneyroy782]

How many times can you "Re-Sharp"? Thanks! (Lafayette, LA)

[@billhatcher2984]

The magnet that you have to clean if you can put a plastic bag on it before sharpening it will make cleaning easy all you need to do is change the bag

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

good tip

[@mikefeaster4040]

All you need now is a corn cob pipe

[@sidelinerbeekeeper]

Thought the blade is meant to run on the inside of that wheel on the left-hand side.

[@alfadoofus]

I'm wondering if you consider showing Joe's blade making .

[@inqwit1]

Bring on the Butternut!

[@joemarvonek]

That cedar must smell good

[@stuartscott9646]

Maybe when Bruno gets older, he could do the sharpening for you and the others as well, and make a couple of bucks.

[@robertrobey5566]

I enjoy watching your videos just to watch and learn how you do this. I have what everyone will probably this is a stupid questions but what do you do with all wood that you cut off that has bark on it?

[@gregm312]

nice boards

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks!

[@charliemurphy2523]

Always enjoy your videos. Interesting one on the blade sharpening. Just curious as to how many times you can sharpen a blade before it is no good?? Keep up the good work.

[@evankibbe590]

Pretty ceader 😊

[@semistacker7118]

A chicken brooder lamp would keep that oil plenty warm when it's brutal cold.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sawdustmaker49]

Would a bit of dish or car wash soap help in the lubrication process?

[@garygarafano8341]

gesundheit!

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

[@not2sneaky]

Ok who sneezed...lol

[@jeffdamon5419]

Do you ever do any quarter sawing? Thanks

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Sometimes

[@vdsgw52]

Is there any wood that you saw that the sawdust is toxic and you can't breath it??

[@RobertKohut]

Does that make you a 'sharp dresser' ? LOL 🙂

[@stevevice9863]

Why don't you spread the sawdust on the floor before you sharpen the blade?

[@hulkthedane7542]

👍👍

[@ronweber4508]

👍

[@mikebuchanan9522]

How many times can a blade be sharpened. Are the blades just as sharp after you sharpen them, as they are when they are brand new?

[@boatrvme8478]

Around 5 times.

[@troymeats5358]

What was the cost the blade shapener ? Love that hat, wear it often.
