Super nice Camera set up on this one.....You should use this set up more often...Thanks for the saw....!

[@texasjetman]

LOVE IT, I got FAMOUS Recognition on the WIND CHIMES.... So awesome, this show just keeps on getting better and better Nathan Elliott, Keep up the great work..!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy

[@waynesmith7487]

Hey I noticed that the "pusher" for the return was angled off to one side, probably the cause of needing the wind chimes. That ride on the wind chimes view is fantastic and with the second camera splitscreen you just feel drawn in to watch it. Nathan makes wood sawing fun and interesting!👍👍👍

[@JGW845]

Nathan, You've made "I Go Blind" famous. I clicked the link you posted for the song and in the comments there were many giving OTW credit for first hearing it and becoming enchanted by it (as did I). You give more than information on sawyering. While my drawl is not as pronounced as yours, when you say "white pine" I am reminded of when I was in training in Westchester, NY and the locals would howl with laughter every time I said "White Plains." It's not us; they're the ones with accents.

[@donaldstarnes4533]

Really like the split screen. Thanks for the real life look.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for watching

[@silverlicious2086]

I read a comment below about many of the viewers here might be sawyers, but I will represent the other side, non-sawyers. I started watching this channel at first because of a curiosity of how wood is sawed. I "now" watch this channel because of the humble, polite and creative approach a person can take to the presentation. These things properly mixed together with the music, passion and Mother Earths natural gifts can only lead to a positive and wonderful experience. It's much more than harvesting wood for me. Something good is happening here. Thank you Nathan for taking me along.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks appreciate you saying that

[@silverlicious2086]

Appreciate you too

[@victorluc66]

The song you play at the end has become one of my absolute favorites.

Hi Nathan. Your videos are great, keep them coming. Here in North East Scotland, not a lot of rain but man has it been windy. A lot of trees down!

[@kevdimo6459]

Great video Nathan as i see it we viewers are just getting in your way. 😂. Thanks for showing us non sawyers how you do it in real time. 👍🏻🇦🇺

Hurry makes mistakes. Safety first

[@MONNIEHOLT]

Very nice Nathan, even though probably most of your viewers are Sawyers like myself, it never gets old watching you demonstrate and talk about what you’re doing, it’s like going to sawmill school every time you put up a video you’re really appreciated out here, 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Monnie, appreciate you sir, hope you got good weather up there,

[@richardparker1699]

Of course it's raining on you. I'm in Tuscaloosa Al and I am blowing the rain to the northwest corner of Alabama. This is why it comes to you. Have fun. Loved the video. Nice work.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

that is what happened? appreciate it, take it back, 😀

[@kens.3729]

Loved your Intro on “Outdoors With The Morgans” Channel and decided to Subscribe to your Channel. Your Demo took just under 10 Minutes. It would have taken me that long to get dressed and into my Truck to drive down to the Lumberyard. 👍 Keep Up the Strong Effort, Nathan! 👏

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Ken, appreciate it

[@Johnditit]

That was a great video. Not only does it show your skill, and the ability of the LT40. It also shows the time and effort you put into your other videos to make them what they are. . Much appreciated.

Thanks 👍👍

Hi Nathan, loved the side by side view, some very nice boards. Glad it’s not just me who is getting inundated with rain. It’s caused me a lot of problems. Loving the wind chimes....nice!! Take care be safe . Love the music thanks. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Nice to see more of the capabilities of the mill and watch you at work

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Kevin,

[@SandBoxJohn]

I Like the two camera angles. It is now obvious why the board return pushed boards off to the right with out the wind chimes.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks!

[@rug212]

Really like this video! Neat to see the Mizer in production mode. Wouldn’t mind more videos like this. Maybe from your point of view where we can see you at the controls.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes sir. Good idea

[@juliehenry6421]

To add to Nathan's answer to the gentleman's question on the 4 quarter question- rough lumber is sold by the 1\4 inch - so the rough thickness is 4/4 -5/4etc -5/4 usually ends up as 1 inch finished material when it comes out of a mill/cabinetry place

[@raysisco5076]

Would love to have some footage of your view of the control panel while you’re operating the mill. Thanx, love your channel and watch all your videos on KZbin.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Ray, appreciate you watching,

[@farmerbob139]

nice job Nathan. when I'm sawing wide doug fir, and everything is set right, I can manipulate the blade tension from dropping to increasing or even level it out just by adjusting the lube flow. that can end up using a lot of windshield washer anti freeze this time of year though :)

[@theofaulk752]

Top fine video and the music is real fine too!! This will never get old.

[@donaldadams5342]

Very good, informative video Nathan & yes, there was some very nice pine lumber from that log for sure. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Will do 👍👍👍

[@richhiway]

Nice to have that roof over the mill. Good video. Blade getting a little dull, heats up in the cut and expands. When we cut with a fellow with a hyd woodmizer we would clear the arms of the slab wood the he would leave the boards that needed edging on the arms. Then he would flip them up and edge them at the end. You could have taken another cut on the one side and ended up with a cleaner cant. You and I work alone most of the time so it a little tougher. I have to do it different on the manual mill. I put all the boards that need edging on horses and then do them all near the end of the day. Our you tube buddy Mike needs to leave his blade engaged and cut all the boards and move them with his tractor so Meliisa doesn't have to carry all them heavy boards! LOL ! Have a good weekend. Get Bruno a ice cream😁.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Haha will do buddy 👍👍👍

Great video as always Nathan - and thank you for the link to the final song. Wish you would post the links to all your music you use as some of the lovely instrumentals are amazing. You have converted a red brick city dweller in the UK to a die hard Southern USA Country admirer (for the beautiful scenery shots) and total wood addict for the beautiful grain reveals as you saw those logs. Thank you.

Personally I’d say you’d have to add in loading time.. still a log every 15 minutes is cooking it. I do good to put out 2 logs in a hour... but I also have a manually operated mill so can’t really compare

The way that drag back arm is sitting not at 90° was probably causing the board to go to the right on the way back before the windchimes
