Silver Maple Log with an Embedded Chain on my Sawmill

[@dianekallio9166]

I am an older female (great grandma) and for some dumb reason i absolutely love these vidios. They were my first intro to your channel and since then i have become addicted to all parts of your channel. Thank you

[@chrisbarr1359]

Matt does a broad range of fascinating things and explains things well.

[@mcremona]

Awesome to hear! Thanks!

[@sueswift8344]

Ditto Dianne! Never would have thought I would get addicted to Matt's channel with his knowledge of the northern woods (Texan here) and that he actually built this saw!! Been follower for several years. House renovation with Donavon was unbelievable! Great young couple, I applaud their living their dreams!

[@sallyeblen7032]

I agree Ms. Diane, I am a grandmother and know nothing about what he is doing.but love see someone so young into working and learning and loving it.,it is GREAT.

VIDEOS

[@joeharwell54]

It's obvious to see how much you still enjoy this.

[@fritzozuna654]

Always a wonderful treat, your joyful comments show how deeply you feel about these beautiful trees. I know they will find their places where their beauty will be shown and appreciated. If you can, please show some pictures of finished projects their makers have shared with you. I know they must share their joy with you. You are probably making some lifelong friends along your journey. Thanks.

[@johnmclain6535]

It's best if you watch these with captions ON. You get to see *Matt grunts* and *Matt laughs* I could watch these all day

[@MBFavazza]

I have absolutely no ambition to do woodworking but watching your videos are a fun "addiction" that I lose myself with. I can't wait to see yhe next episode of your barn build. I'm not quite a grandma ..but at 62, I seem to have broadened my horizons in video watching. Lol

[@einsteinbpc]

Just had a tree cut down in my back yard and milled up into boards. Was so fun to watch the slabs come out one by one and look at how the tree grew. Love these videos and surely want to start getting more of my own lumber milled myself. Cheers

[@eddieforce2341]

Every time I watch one of your videos I miss my mill that I had to sell for health reasons. Thank you so much for the interesting videos.

[@167curly]

It's always "fun" to watch you exploring the mysteries in logs as you mill them, Matthew. Living in an urban condo myself, your rural life is a great change for me.

[@mr19471985]

Thanks for your narration, it adds so much.

[@stevenhorgan1046]

Well done for the inspiration that you give to so many, God bless you & your family. Regards from Yorkshire. Steven.

[@aok2727]

I don’t know which is better, watching the saw roll through the wood or your delight at the grain

[@terristroh3965]

I’m sitting here drinking my coffee in the shop and enjoying a sledding video. Life is good!

[@thehunter3386]

Matteo! Your comments throughout are delightful!! Thoroughly enjoy your videos! You're just having TOO MUCH FUN!! Keep 'em coming... Hey from the north woods of Maine!

[@elainedegoede6276]

Love the mysteries of the inside of the logs revealed. Thank you.🥰

[@thebings3250]

Love to see how the tree grows. Super interesting. Thank you.

[@beanerschnitzel794]

36:15 so exciting that look! i really enjoy looking at the neat insides of magnificent trees. Thank you for teaching talking and sharing this great treat

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Wow, fun to see you sawing again Matt. Great fun. Thanks for sharing !

[@mcremona]

Thanks Alan!

[@medicineman311]

Hey Matt, I absolutely loved your reaction to sawing through part of your mill, not a single sign of anger, anxiety or 🤬 words, (at least not on camera), just amazement and joy at the strength of your saw blade and mill. You’ve reached a wonderful place when you can look at bad situations that happen, expect them, embrace them and get past them because regardless of the fact that they are happening to You, you have the strength to handle them! ☮️💟from Virginia Beach, VA

[@robertpearson8546]

I’m glad to see another sawing video. I really enjoyed watching your journey from cheap cold-rolled blades, to bi-metal blades, and then carbide blades. There are diamond-coated blades, but no Buckey Ball blades.

[@claudestewart5465]

Years ago I used to cut silver maple for firewood. When I split it I would see all the colors you're talking about. I wondered then what kind of planks they would make. Now I see it.

[@stanleybennett8879]

It's fun watching a log get cut into beautiful lumber and table top slabs! The girls a lumber capital log yard are fun to watch work there butts off and are quit skilled on there mill!

[@bwillan]

Certainly some cool slabs in that tree. Now to find a project worthy of using them.

[@jayt9882]

Great fun to share your excitement when you're in your proper element! :)

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Another great video Matt! Every slap holds a surprise that you are the first person to ever see!

[@karaDee2363]

That was a very interesting log, definitely good choice making it into slabs..

[@jenhofmann]

Thanks, Matt! Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@timwhiting6854]

Your unintentional carbide blade advertisement cracked me up!

[@elainecraig3132]

Hi there Matt, I'm another one of your grandma fans. I have some woodworking experience and aspirations, and spent several years as a bicycle mechanic. Anyway, I enjoy your adventures. One of the most remarkable experiences I have had was the opportunity six years ago to watch virtually every step of the making of a viola for me. A family friend who is a skilled luthier knew I was interested and let me watch over his shoulder the whole time. One thing I remember him saying is that most trees have some twist to them (improves strength, I think) and it is virtually always a clockwise twist. Very rare is the tree with an anti-clockwise, or widdershins twist. The maple for my viola grew widdershins. I liked that about my instrument because I am left handed. Also, did you know that Antonio Stradivari lived and worked in Cremona, Italy? It is a fascinating place to visit. Thanks for taking us all along on your projects. E. Craig

[@bavondale]

Great sawing vid. Had to rewind a few times to catch everything. Great looking maple

[@garyhaines6335]

You built it and I'm sure you have more than once paid the piper!! Other than that you are a man of many talents! can't wait to see whats next.

[@donaldshields2483]

Very good job keep up the good work and will keep watching you God bless

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Love maple. Love figured and character maple even more. Total enjoyment watching this one get sliced into slabs. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bunk822]

Logs are like people their inner beauty is what counts

[@sg1fan2]

Great video Matt. That's probably not the first stop you've cut through and probably won't be the last. Man blade technology has come a long way.

[@dorotheaisserstedt9238]

Finde es schön, jede Platte genau zu betrachten, dankeschön.

[@mattpeterson7074]

That's a bunch of beautiful slabs. You made the proper choice!

[@peterellis4262]

I am amused at your references to "good stuff" in the log(s). It's all about perspective ;)

[@jsbounds27]

Great to see another milling video. Always fun to see what’s inside!

[@GoodTimeCatchers]

how did i miss this video comin out? lol. well glad i found it a few days late lol. good stuff matt. keep the slabs rollin!

[@grifonks]

Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers. It's well deserved as you are very hard working and talented coupled with humor and principles. Cremona for Prez!

[@tangowhiskeytrailertranspo6662]

That was a beautiful log. A few of slabs around #6 to about #9, wherever the imitation "epoxy" was were absolutely gorgeous. Those places show just how far away man is from imitating nature. Love the content, thanks for demonstrating how durable your saw blade is.

[@donhalligan7279]

Missing your dissections of the boules. Great stuff. Thanks!

[@ohasis8331]

When you chuck the water upwards, it comes down all in one go and it's an instantaneous reveal - looks quite effective on camera.

[@garybessey2184]

Add-on : Matt, you're having 'way too much fun with your water bucket slab feature reveal....

[@HotrodRon74]

nice cutting Matt...an old tree,,it amazes me what you do with all these slabs...cutting,moving,storing them..and fuel...but your happy,,,haaaa

[@EricStockfleth1]

It seems like its been so long since you've cut a big that your enthusiasm is coming back.

[@Bellinghamster42]

I love that you're able to laugh about things that would normally cause other people to curse their heads off. I've hit the log stops a couple times on my woodmizer - non-carbide blades are instantly toast. That was pretty impressive you just lopped off the 2x2!

[@davidmosscrop2374]

Hey Matt. You really love your slabs!!! They are pretty to look at, but how to you transform them into useful wood! Love you channel. You are a super talented guy.

[@douglasthomashayden2566]

13:00 -ish would *love* to see what 'ground penetrating radar' would show about where the metal is threaded through the log.

[@davesmith5656]

Beautiful log, and very well put together video, as usual. Multi-dimensional skill and talent.

[@lukedavey7693]

Awesome to watch. Please more PPE. Be safe.

[@rgarlinyc]

Beautiful log - you did good keeping it whole before slabbing it! Your carbide blade was amazing too. Very enjoyable to watch,thanks a ton!

[@jimmowers7675]

Great looking wood Matt. Thanks for sharing.

[@tjerkheringa937]

Great video of what is essentially useless junk wood. Nice to see your enthousiasm :)

[@rogerdudra178]

Hi, Matt. Your new home is looking good.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@mikehall5280]

That is a gorgeous log

Beautiful big slabs for some huge $10,000.00 tables… love your vids…

Absolutely loved the video and going to enjoy what you make out of them

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@caesar1295]

Great job brother enjoyed the video and also your enthusiasm for what you do it refreshing to see a person love their job. Absolutely beautiful slabs of wood you saved keep it up Sir and also liked your family friendly videos, you just laughed when you cut thru your support beam good for you.

[@pamelaharrison3196]

I love your videos to see the beautiful wood

I'm asking Santa for this saw for Christmas ..... I know I NEED IT !!!

Calming to watch. Thanks.

Thanks for the great video, Matt!

[@shieldwolffalcontrainer9040]

Thats a nice silver maple log. I felled one this past spring thats got 3 tops. Twisted grown from the ground up. Think it might be bigger than that one.

[@ericsimpson4045]

All this trouble to remove the nails and chain… cut the machine off 😂 Great video Matt.

[@edwardgold8097]

Hey Matt, having used your saw for quite a while now, if you had to build it again are there any changes to the design you would make?

[@mcremona]

Nothing particularly significant. I kept from making compromises to I wouldn’t have regrets

[@edwardgold8097]

@@mcremona Great. Thanks for the reply.

[@briantoga2626]

Wish I lived closer or shipping was not so costly. Love some of the slabs.

Thank you Matt, I enjoy and look forward to your videos

[@brianrogers3681]

That inclusion flow reminds me of the headwaters of a river starting from a small spring flowing out to a wide river with little islands in the top... Might look good with a blue epoxy fill. Awesome find!

[@judithfairchild8620]

That's what I thought too. It would be an amazing table.

[@michaelmiller1109]

Those off cuts trying to find the chain I would be happy to use in an offset smoker or even my fireplace.

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Just checkin.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ... Between slabs like these, and the chairs that you're already selling, I'm sure it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to see you selling full dining sets at some point.

[@patrickbass3542]

Would the production increase and ease of operation justify the ost and effort of fabricating a motor drive for the saw?

[@judithfairchild8620]

That was one weird log. Beautifl

[@chrisbarr1359]

Hey Matt, Lindsay, Kiddos and Pancake! Great video as usual. Nice to see you slabbing again. Uncovering nature's mysteries. I've become a subscribers to Donovan's channel. He has good content. How about a link to his channel in the description area and maybe a mention. The man has a 'cookie habit' to support!!

[@pictie]

Two questions first do you sail off cuts of interesting figur and if so whir .I make knives so iam always on the lookout for interesting stuff to glue to some steel.

[@timmaggard8862]

Wow, hard to believe it sawed right thru that pole. Didnt even slow it down. What a saw. Thanks for the video. Love your stuff. keep it up. Want to see another furniture build in the near future. What do you have in mind? Got something up your sleeve?

[@rayoscroft3775]

Hi matt is there any more videos of the big build I last seen the concrete going on the floor not seen any more videos 😀 can you send me any links cheers I love your work 😀

[@fubartotale3389]

In the machine trades, we cut tool steel with a bandsaw every day. You just have to slow down your feeds and speeds. Most motors will accept a speed control.

[@kennethsanders379]

Really enjoy your videos. What’s the change of seeing what happens to these slabs after they are turned into a “work of art”.

[@stanleybennett8879]

Would they call it shake those splits?👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍you answered my question!

[@robertbrewer2190]

Always interesting and the Aretha Franklin homage title is cute!

[@doriWyo]

Will you weld that piece back together?

[@bmilhoan]

Is there an actual name for that “crap bowl” in the crotch? How would you handle that as you work with the wood? It would be fun to have an experienced arborist explain that log.

[@TomSramekJr]

Matt inventing adjectives on the fly….. 😉

[@cds957]

Matt, why do you saw the slabs so thick, and what would something like these be used for this big and thick? Love to watch you saw and work.👍

I’m seeing a 60” wide vacuum kiln in your future!

[@stevedue4485]

Where do you get your carbide blades? Like the idea of not worrying about metal.

I saw those stands there and was wondering when you were going to remove them. Now I know.

One heck of a sharp blade is all I can say.

you should build a track extension for your mill

[@dannysulyma6273]

I've gotta ask what brand of band your using to slice metal so effectively. I cut through a one inch steel pin one time with a brand new band but it's cutting days were finished as many teeth were sheared off, it didn't finish the cut.
