Milling a Ponderosa Pine - The Homestead Adventure(r)

[@fxpthl]

That Brenda! Now she can add "Lumberjack" to her long list of accomplishments & Talents!

[@ekavoian]

Today's Video was enjoyable to watch but did remind me about an experience I have seen before. Like any road crew,, one person does the work and ten people standing around to complete the project. I am proud of Brenda

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

She's a rockstar!

[@kennethtappert3883]

Brenda is a real trooper. Did she know what she was signing up for when she signed up with you? LOL

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

Most of this is her idea! The real question is did I know what I was getting into???

[@bobstienke178]

Alrighty now! A new tractor made to move those logs!

[@phygital1]

Milling machine + tractor? I could watch that all day 😂.

Brenda's new title is Sawyer, Jeff's is gopher

[@peterengel7885]

Brenda is one of best looking Sawyers I have seen. The gunts taking away the lumber seem to be slacking.

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Making progress! Good job, guys

[@ericson26savannah86]

I could watch Brenda all day. It looks like things are moving along just fine. So when will you have the first crop of Dental floss planted?

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

Springtime

[@AllenDrewesBuilds]

1. It's great to see Brenda but she seems to act like you're a slacker. 2. If you were to catch the sawdust you could make compressed logs to burn, maybe. 3. Most importantly, I would love to trade positions with you. I'm a general contractor in Illinois so I'm sure you'll understand. LOL Love what you doing!

[@iangordicans8763]

How often do you have to sharpen the saw blade and how do you do it?

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

Each blade lasts for about a half-day of constant milling. There is a shop locally that sharpens them for about $15. They have a little machine that sharpens them automatically.

Make sure Brenda starts working harder

[@wolfschwartze4823]

Have you guys ever considered getting a dog or two ?

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

We've thought about it, but haven't been ready for that commitment yet!

[@ushillbillies]

Canadian mill..built in china.. seems to be working..

[@erichyney6287]

Brenda has a nice looking bottom.. but she really needs to be wearing some hearing protection....
