Can’t figure out why any of y’all can justify buying a sawmill just because you want one

[@TKCL]

I also can't figure out how people justify 60-100k vehicles, 500k homes, 2k cellphones, 3k Apple laptops, 6k Disney vacations and all the other crap society tells you it's ok to own. My guess is that you have some of that. If I want a $3k sawmill and I work for it, that's my business.

[@TheDcrisp]

He explained that it was for personal needs that could potentially segue into a side business.. but keep consuming what media advertisements and big corporations tell you to consume. Cheers!

[@TKCL]

I also have a unique situation where it's a write off and I can make content with it. Not to mention it feeding my DIY projects and side income.

Because we live in the United States of America 🇺🇸 and we have the freedom to do whatever we want.

Be careful what you ask for. Look at The Arms family selling all that merchandise and pecans. You might start out small and just sell as a hobby and turn around and need all that extra equipment just to keep up. (I would love to see that happen for you.). But your goal and dreams could easily be come true

I think I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, you are a brave soul for filming everything you do, I’ve been reading some of your comments… lots of opinions on what and why and how you do it. Helpful tips are great and I’m sure appreciated, but man… you take some “heat” for things that I appreciate you showing. Know you are appreciated, and try and block out the haters.

A band saw is a necessity for every shop.

[@Glenn_and_ShannonsSalty_Life]

Sweet!! Spray some silicone lubricant on the blade and guide rollers, it will make the machine run smoother, prevent rust, and it’s not prone to allow dust to stick to it. Great video!!

[@TKCL]

That was my concern, dust. Thanks!

[@jterry0510]

You should rotate the saw so you can shoot the pieces right into a container rather than bring it back through the saw blade. Little safer.

[@TKCL]

Not a bad idea, I'll play around with this.

[@filjohn81]

I was thinking the same thing every time he stopped and moved his hand across the blade

[@mickwilson127]

Make sure you blow of the sawdust from the table, if you leave and there is any humidity it will rust very badly. Also use wax or sill on lube on the exposed metal.

[@dhamps10]

For safety, do not wear gloves around that saw.

[@walterchapman2884]

Absolutely right!

[@stromgewehr]

Can you explain this comment?

[@TKCL]

The saw blade teeth can catch the glove material and pull your fingers into the blade.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hey Andrew. That’s funny that I just posted a pic of my bent meter prongs. I already ordered a different one, but I’ll consider this moisture meter if the other doesn’t cut it. Thanks much! -Ed

You absolutely will, but in a good way 🤣

[@bobflores]

The bandsaw looks like a good solution to get the size of smoking wood. It's not recommended to wear gloves when operating a bandsaw. If the blade was to touch the glove the teeth will grab and pull your hand into the blade. Be careful. Thanks for the video.

[@TKCL]

I'm noticing gloves often cause more problems than they solve lol.

[@blakebeckywahls7585]

cherry, hickory and hard maple is considered competition blend. so if you have that on your property, that's premium blend. cherry, post oak blend would be great or cherry with any other hardwood would bring premium. instead of selling just cherry. figure spread your good stuff for more premium selling

[@TKCL]

No maple here. But I do have oak, cherry and occasionally find hickory. Oak and cherry take care of all my cooks. Sometimes I'll buy apple for special cooks, but it isn't strong enough for me on most cooks.

[@HODGKINSON.]

I bet there’s a bandsaw blade that would cut firewood even better if that’s all you’re going to use that bandsaw for. I bet there’s a specific tpi, kerf, and width that would be good for it. I got a bandsaw blade for doing resaw veneer work and it has way less tpi and kerf for that purpose. I do like the idea of using a bandsaw for firewood and smoking wood. Need to remember this.

[@TKCL]

I'll play around with some more blades, they were very affordable.

[@HODGKINSON.]

@@TKCL saw your video today with the new blade with fewer TPI. I’m so happy that worked out for you. Sounds like a much better fit for the purpose you’re using that bandsaw for.

[@nicholasbodnar7361]

As a HS shop teacher, 3-4 TPI would be something I would recommend. I use that type of blade for doing lots of lumber cuts and rips with no issue. Delta 14" is my go to and reliable and lots available on Marketplace.

[@TKCL]

6 tpi is what I could easily find. A 14 inch will be my go to if the demand is there.

[@billgraves2259]

Save your money. Your idea of buying a larger bandsaw in the future is a bit of a stretch. The bigger saw will not do anything to increase production of smoker chunks or smaller firewood pieces. The only reason anyone needs to move up to a larger unit is if you intend to resaw thick lumber to thinner stock on a regular basis. Then you're going to need a larger shop area for it too. That might save a few minutes of setup for cutting up your smoker chunks, but you can do that just by giving the table top unit permanent bench space. I have a small bandsaw I use somewhat infrequently for cutting up small pieces. I have it on wheels so I can pull it out when I need it. I'd like the bigger unit too, but my needs for resawing are too infrequent to be able to justify the purchase. Your plan of a saw mill will take care of the thinner stock too, as then you can cut your stock any thickness you want in the first place. Keep using the small saw for the small stuff, and put your cash towards the sawmill. A Sawmill will make you more than any big bandsaw. Considering you already have the raw logs it'll save you more too.

[@TKCL]

Good info! I just bought some quality bandsaw blades with low tpi and made specifically for rough, dry hardwood. These might get me all the speed I'll ever need.

[@jeremiahs45]

You might get very busy down there doing wood for smoking/cooking

[@TKCL]

I can see that happening

[@camperjack2620]

Notice that every piece you cut off, you pull back, then WATCH, your hand goes right across in front of the blade. A safer way would be to pull back through and toss in a bin on the left. Wearing gloves on these machines is deceiving. If the blade catches it, it will pull it in so fast... But if you have no gloves on, your skin will feel wind from the teeth and wake you up.

[@TKCL]

Good points

[@kroc51]

Curious.. Why do you start a new channel instead of just diversifying this one with the different content?

[@TKCL]

We are already getting too broad here. Thus the reason we have 117k subs but only get a few thousand views per video. Channels that cover a huge range of topics typically do not do well for views.

[@thehillbillyhermit7681]

Leaf blowers are nice and all BUT..... you just blew away more money! another income source. Save all the saw dust from that and the chainsaw and make your own firestart(s) to sell. They sell very well to city and suburbanite folks.
