The Last Time Using my Sawmill Where it was Built

[@artszabo1015]

As I sit here and think about it I find it very remarkable that a young man built his first sawmill in his backyard and used it a LOT for 4 1/2 years. You are now going to tear it down and reassemble it at your new place, and not a single word about modifying it or replacing it with a better version. This is surely a testament to your natural born engineering talent. I am 70 years old and I think this is amazing. I am in total agreement with you. I see no reason whatever to change anything on this saw other than the hand crank feed. Art

[@mikeconrad454]

I'm sure the neighbors will be happy to see you haul the saw mill out of there. Peace and quiet at last! Beautiful red oak Matt!

[@cando9609]

Very cool Matthew! Properly closing a chapter so that another can open and done in that uniquely wonderful way that only Matt Cremona can bring forth... priceless!

[@paulstanding7267]

Well 4/5 years time has moved very fast but it has been an absolute pleasure in watching you and your family grow hope you have many more years of continuous growth at your new place take care 😀👍🇬🇧

[@mcremona]

thanks Paul!

[@jeffseaton5193]

Great video! I absolutely admire it when young men are proud of their accomplishments! You earned that memory that should be cherished throughout your life and thanks for sharing it with the world!

[@peteacher52]

All the best, Matthew - you're a breath of fresh air!

[@Bass2010]

Can’t wait to see you move the saw and been watching from the beginning when you started building the saw and can’t believe it’s been 4 years hope to see you get it up and running at the new place 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@hdwoodshop]

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years. I’ve been with you all along the way. Congrats your move.

[@mcremona]

Thank you!

[@karencary3312]

Looking forward to seeing the sawmill at the new place. I, too, have lots of good memories of the old place. I love how you have incorporated the old with the new. Keep us updated. We love to be included in your journey.

[@mcremona]

thank you!

[@EarlLewis]

It was a great run Matt. And plenty more to come at the new place. Really enjoying seeing that evolve. Thanks!

[@mcremona]

Thanks Earl!

[@DonsWoodies]

I don't understand the thought process that goes into the best way to cut up logs for the greatest yield/best looking slabs. I do appreciate watching you do it. It's truly fascinating. I've spent many hours mesmerized by your videos. It's somehow both entertaining and calming.

[@jan-reiniervoute6701]

"You don't have to stain wood". Agree. Time and circumstances might change hues and/or leave marks, that's the charm.

[@oliverking9951]

Anyone else hear the shouts of 'wohoooo!' from the neighbors as Matt declares this being the last day of sawmill stuff? 🤣

[@EarlLewis]

FYI, Matt and Lindsay have said that they have very nice neighbors and no one ever complained, to them, to the city, to the police. Nada.

[@rakwar]

lol I would be happy to see that mess of a yeard go away.. nice people they sure are but the eye sore and the noise and dust from the sawing drifting every where ugh

[@jozua715]

[@janekeleher3090]

Glad that you will be posting more videos- I've missed all the beautiful slabs!

[@mikedraper5260]

in Bob Hopes words thanks for the memories . Spent many a night watching Andrew cut or build it . looking forward to the new digs . Have a day eh

[@chrisgriego549]

I am always amazed at how much weight that skid steer can hold without tipping over.

[@luvbigiron]

Totally agree. Stout hydraulics and some massive counterweight. That log grapple is pretty amazing too.

[@Jammer.1]

My old house was built in 1889 and the living room floor was red oak toung & groove I sanded all the old stuff off and covered it with clear verithane sealer when the sun was setting and shined on it the colors was so beautiful i hated let anyone wear shoes on it so i kept slip on shoe covers for when anyone came to visit !

[@RussellWiegand]

Man, my back is killing me just watching you horse those heavy slabs around by hand!

Looking forward to seeing the setup at your new place! I don't know why but it's fascinating to see the logs being cut!

[@georgetucker336]

Enjoy watching you cut. You sure know the grains to get a great slab. Good luck at new location.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@25vrd48]

You've sawed a lot of interesting logs at that location . Looking forward to moving to y'all's new house and setting up the saw . Stay Safe . Great video

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@inspiringbuilds]

Great techniques, you move large logs like it’s nothing and it takes skill! Keep up the great work as the goal is to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼

[@larrybe2900]

That skid steer is worth its weight in gold handling the wood.

[@jonnybooks9337]

what an interesting journey this one was...glad i found it!...can't wait to see inside those last 2 logs...good luck at the new place! (it looks like it's coming together nicely)...anticipating more videos from there in the near future.

Thanks Jonny!

[@johnburens3395]

Very nice Matt. It's been nice going along for the ride with you here but... We can't wait to see the saw set up at the new place with room to expand!!! Hopefully you already have a slab poured for the mill when it arrives. It might be nice to have a covered mill area that is open on the sides for access.

[@andrewmundenandcadfellmast4624]

Good video mate. Its not the end of a ride, just a pause until the nest ride starts at the new place! Looking forward to seeing how you transport the mill to its new location. Too right about not staining timber. I cant understand why folks want to spoil the natural look so often!

[@mcremona]

Thank you!

[@bavondale]

I have watched a lot of logs go thru that saw. I'm looking forward to the new background. It would be nice to see a time lapse vid of take-down and set up

Matt, Lots of great memories of that sawmill build, that spot of ground it’s on and all the beautiful wood you pulled out of logs that would otherwise have been tossed away! Looking forward to the tear down and rebuild (hopefully with some hydraulics to get logs on and turn them!

[@mcremona]

Thanks Mac!

[@normolson1]

Thank Matt, have a great day

[@andrewv5104]

I love this saw mill, I wish i could bring you a big log and some money for your effort and see it in action. I got to see it in person once but never in operation. Alas i can't neither transport large logs or really find them. I think quarter sawn Red Oak is beautiful. I leave flats awn at the store though. 32" that makes the 24" long on my driveway seem small,gonna tackle it with my 661.

[@rob-v1y]

Can't believe it has been that long since you built the saw. Can't wait to see the move! It is almost its own trailer frame. Are you going to just slap an axle on the bottom and a hitch on the front? Voila. Mobile saw mill!

Yes, I’ll be able to continue filling my bucket

[@andrewwetzel6036]

Like Chris G. below, it amazes me that you haven't tipped over... yet. Have you thought about adding a counter-weight to the end you stand on? Might help with some of the bigger stuff, give the skid-steer more oomph to oomph with. Or are you going to get a larger skid-steer to supplement the mini-skidder?

[@Jeppe.P.Bjerget]

Wow the time goes fast 4 1/2 years since you start with the sawmill, and before you make the big furniture(Do not remember the name) The time goes so fast. You moved last year, and no it is the last day from the old house. The family grows up, and it is strange to think that it is so many year since i started to follow your KZbin channel. I wish you and your family a nice time. I hope you have been free from Covid 19, and i hope you enjoy your new home. I hope there will be more videos from there later. How is the place you rent, are you still keeping wood and things there? Have a great week from Jan in Norway

First comment! Woohoo! But, seriously, thank you, Matt, for all the hard work you put in, and for sharing this with us. I really appreciate the insight, the education, and the humor you put into each of your videos. Been listening to you on WoodTalk for years, and I'm really glad you guys un-quit. A couple quick questions: what in the world do you do with all the sawdust and off cuts (like the first bit of bark you cut off the top)? And I'm assuming you sell these slabs? I have no way to buy one and I'm in California, so I'm really just curious. Thanks again!!

[@stingray427man]

Cremona mobile band saw, with your skillsets, definitely obtainable. But would the content and plans be worth your time? 🤔 Anyhow, always love the content you create and the positive vibes you represent. Thanks Matt.
