Looks like a sick of school day!! hehehehe

[@TheDieselmonkey11]

That’s awesome to see Jr out there with his dad gathering up big monster logs!🪵 love seeing Jr’s big smile on his face at the end.

[@red6675]

Some of the best memories a son can have is going to"Work" with his dad. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@october62]

Best line goes to JR : This is why art class is important!

[@jmazoso]

100%

[@ffcolon2738]

Great memories father and son, Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@charlesjohnson9662]

He’s gonna be a lot of fun for you, and help as well, as he grows up and travels with you on your log acquiring adventures.

[@leesorenson6119]

Son's 1st time. Now you've hit the big time ❤🎉😊

[@bubashalom8274]

I don't believe you could have finished the job without that young a man helping you. Good job gentlemen! Have a good Thanksgiving.

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Love how calm you are with your kids moving your components. Always enjoy watching.

[@karencary3312]

Proud dad. Having him paint kept him busy and I'm sure he felt a part of this logs history. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Brian-os9qj]

Vandals, my children, soooooo true with tools. Great kid Matt, happy turkey day to you and yours.

[@joopterwijn]

He does not realize, he has a great dad (and mom)!

[@metal2951]

Don"t worry you'll find the other hing pin next time you mow

[@sallyeblen7032]

Jared is a mighty fine helper.

[@some0ne8]

The old timer's yard looked pretty similar to your old place! The smile on his face seeing that log dropped on the trailer was awesome too.

[@bavondale]

love watching the arch at work. thank you for showing the steps of getting that log up safely

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Father & Son ❤. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@trishblakely3476]

Best sick day ever!

[@likeakite]

Gosh your son has grown so much !!!

[@donwilliams3626]

May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving

[@deliaguzman1138]

That flashback video brought a tear to my eye, thinking about my own son who’s growing up so fast. Nice work, Matt. And thanks for the art lesson, JR!

[@stevenrgates]

For me it was father daughters, then pa and grandkids. Show them, teach them because you love them. Time is priceless!

[@DanieleGiusiano-y2j]

Bel tronco complimenti a te e ha tuo figli .fai bene a portarlo con te cosi impara tante cose e cosi state insieme ed e una bella cosa .ciao dal italy.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Wow. I remember when you build a bassinet for your kids!

[@gunningdesign]

A star is born! I bet he learnt far more about stuff that matters on his 'sick' day than he would have at school... (school should step up)

[@davidcruz4431]

Nice job JR.

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Some pretty good camera work by JR while picking up the log 👍 Looking back, I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was working on things around the house or in his shop...good times. Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving 🦃

[@johnfitzpatrick3416]

Yup, When I was your Sons age my Father still had to work on the side. One day he’d take my older brother & the next he’d take me. They are some of the fondest memories I have of precious time with my Dad👍 Your son will remember spending time with you.

[@dwiirawatiofficial5864]

Good job 🎉❤

[@davepruitt2739]

Great job Jared. Great job Dad. And Great video

[@Jammer.1]

Happy Thanksgiving Matthew & Family Time sure flies I started watching the day you started building the saw You had just cleared the spot & was setting the blocks to build it on & laid out the main beams !

[@MrPossumeyes]

Nice easy pick-up, but you couldn't have done it without your young fella! Cheers, Matt.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Love your son there with you! Thank you for sharing 👌 ❤😊

[@pamelaremel7477]

You got tp teach them the trades at an early age! J.R. is learning valuable life lessons! That baby seat flashback was so adorable! Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!

[@kajem575]

Wait til summer when you also find the other pin in the yard. Then you'll be needing a second lawnmower.

[@Edu_Kate]

Best part of the day was going back to Brooklyn Center?! I grew up there and now live in Crystal...so I didn't move that far away. 😄

[@gottabighit1]

That's awesome ...

[@jrehtil1494]

What a team, great video!

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Stay safe.

[@sithus1966]

You can see the emerald ash borer tracks in the crotch log, the ultimate end to that ash tree.

[@johncarter9067]

Your boy has a great teacher

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

Matt your son looks like a natural around the camera. It was hard to believe he was sick until I heard him cough. I hope he is feeling better. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, I would say watch how many sweets you all consume, but I don't need to say that. Stay well.

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Happy Thanksgiving, Matt to you and your entire family 🎉.

[@chuckbeliles3242]

That is a nice ash log

[@thefreemathtutor]

If I had a dad who did stuff like this, I would be “sick” at least once per week.

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Happy Thanksgiving. Good to get back to the roots.

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

I'd build a cover for the storage compartment on the trailer, with a lock, so little curious hands don't help to misplace things. Which I'm sure you have thought of already, though maybe not as much until you need the trailer and notice pieces missing. I'm going to have to go back and watch your custom trailer build again, which I'm sure will be just as impressive as it was the first time I watched it.

[@mcremona]

Intentionally omitted the cover; if you park a log there, you can’t open it

[@tomahoks]

Hi JR, Happy thanksgiving!

[@twagner6155]

Your kid is as great as you Matt.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Better paint those hinge pins Blaze Orange! 🤣

[@DonD532]

Nice video. Hope your family had a great thanksgiving 🍗🥧

[@tableshaper4076]

Not a bad "sick" day.

[@oldcharlie5533]

Happy Thanksgiving Matt.

[@bigsabertoothbunny5986]

Ah yes, the joys of the little ones moving stuff that they swear they didn't touch. 🤣

[@SlabGuy]

He’s getting around pretty good for somebody that couldn’t go to school.

[@stevenowell]

The future SlabMaster is a nice young man

[@president2]

Love your son!!!!!!!

[@charleslanier1992]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Matthew to you and your family.

[@dwightbauer6705]

Happy Thanksgiving Cremona Family ( Next Morning)

[@TerryStormo]

Please post more the kitchen

[@mcremona]

Almost done with the next batch

[@bigbassmanphd]

Never thought of my children as vandals, but they definitely were.😂

[@JT-hw6mq]

HAppy Thanksgiving! Love your work!

[@Gforceracing20]

Happy Thanksgiving Cremonas!

[@billhatcher2984]

I was pretty close I guessed 15 and 3 so I didn't do too bad happy thanksgiving to you and yours

[@aaronblackford981]

Proud dad. Yeah. Idk if he was sick or wanted the experience. But he prob learned more today about real work than he will in a semester at school. Plus. If he wasn’t sick, even as a kid, I learned to sweat my sicknesses out and strangely even in today, almost never sick or call off. Like once in 5 years.

[@johnmcmunn3827]

Just wait .. soon your daughter will be driving the "old Telehandler" and sons hooking up the logs ....

[@walterplummer3808]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@annlaurie1484]

Great video 😊

[@stewartmcardle8149]

You did an estimate of 3,000lbs to the homeowner so give yourself a pat on the back Matt....as near as damn it ....👍

[@mm9773]

Don’t worry, you’ll find the second hinge pin when you mow the lawn next spring.

[@juliomcdermott4696]

Most appropriate comment I have read all year

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Nice recovery. Didn't hear what kind of wood that is. Cheers, Lee

[@pamelaremel7477]

ASH

[@hectorcalixto6025]

Looks like live oak but idk 🤷‍♂️

[@doeljatengchannel]

Good

[@Billestlà]

See ya next time JR 🙂

[@spectrumwoodworks]

Hello Matt. We hope y'all had a wonderful thanksgiving. What do you use for end sealing? back in the day I've heard any paint will do. Is that correct?? Thank you sir for what you do and all the info you share!!

[@mcremona]

I use anchorseal. Works a bit better than paint and dries clear. Thanks!

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Nice guess on the log weight

[@michaelwinn8324]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. (If "vandalism" is a real concern, i.e., it's not only the kids playing with your stuff, you could always fabricate a lid for the recessed tool shelf that would lock down. An aggravating task perhaps but cheap for the peace of mind.

[@doriWyo]

All together, 4,000.

[@robertmalmgren4640]

That tree is another victim of the emerald ash beetle . I lost my 75 foot shade in the same way. Bought my sawmill to cut it up.

[@lindaleslie5634]

Too cute 🎉🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@JamesMasterPlaster]

Cool video Matt thanks 👍🏋️‍♀️🤗🤺☦️

[@markfrye9178]

Great hoist and trailer. How many versions preceded this one?

[@elaine5953]

Ash will soon be a rare wood to find. You can see from the bark that tree was killed by the Emerald Ash Borer. Over the past decade every single one around here is dead. Loggers tell me that once the tree has been killed off by the borer it is much harder to cut through.

[@rowlandisbeautiful]

logging Chain Choker. sinches on the log.

[@mikelehen]

8:20 Matt: Maybe like 3000 pounds. 16:54 scale reads 2938 pounds. Looks like Matt gets bragging rights! 🤣

[@terencemerritt]

I have the same vandalism problem with my box trailer. The little 7 year old vandal gets the keys and helps himself to all my tools and I find them randomly everywhere

[@judithfairchild8620]

About the time you get the new pin made the old one will show up.😅

[@rogerkincaid4535]

Your commit about your children losing your hinge pins and other equipment, reminds me of a quote I've heard as a young man. " There are times I could love my children to death and there are other times I wish I had.😂

[@twosock3003]

You know your gonna have to weight those logs again before you put them on the mill to see if they have lost any moisture

[@warrenwerks]

I guessed 65 years and 4800lbs. Way off on the weight but damn close on the age. I guessed 1200lbs for the crotch piece and was under on that one. Loved the video and that you brought your boy along

[@casycasy5199]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all will the ash last and age the bug won't still eat it??

[@mcremona]

EAB only eats the cambium

[@smplyizzy]

Those hinge pings really should have some type of retention or you might kill someone behind you on the road,

[@valeriepritchard677]

Fit a length of chain between pin and arch- save the mower next time?

[@Rasam3]

Působivý rozkrok 12 : 13 min., příroda je mocná čarodějka...

[@billhatcher2984]

I think I was ADD or something I had to be busy if I wasn't doing chores I was taking something apart just to see if I could put it back together

[@fleurdelune5240]

❤❤

[@dale1956ties]

I hope you find that other hinge pin before your lawn mower does.😬

[@anch1994]

What do you use to seal the ends?

[@mcremona]

Anchorseal

[@planeflyer21]

Thanks, Matt. Just curious: is there a formula for how much weight a log will lose as it dries out?

[@myhermitlife]
