George, this is one of the best sawmill channels, and the advice given is priceless. Retired 72 year old Jouneyman carpenter.

Please do not shorten your videos you are providing the right amount of info on the chosen topic thank you SIR

[@blainlehman1018]

Great watching you mill and listening to the knowledge you have to offer. Thank you.

[@markpearson3627]

Love the show. Nothing wrong with the length of the video. Got a good chuckle when you mentioned your extreme cold. I'm up north in Canada

[@rolfnilsen6385]

This video was not long at all. It was very instructive and a bit of fun with your horse wanting company.

I definitely enjoy the videos you have posted. Am learning a lot just hope I don't forget any of it 😜. Thanks again for all your knowledge.

[@louGriggs1944]

Good videos George. I'm not so much concerned about the length. The content makes you want more anyway. Thanks for a great job.

[@robertkeller5536]

Longer videos are a good thing. Thanks for the knowledge and the reasoning for the methods you present in these videos. I have never run a saw mill, but this stuff reminds me of the lessons I would learn from my grandfather when I was young. This stuff is so important to share.

Thank you for taking time to show us your practical saw mill operation. I have cottonwood, sycamore and ash I'm hoping to use in the floor of our new house.

Used cooking oil mix with a little diesel fuel works good

[@circusmidway7302]

Amazing! Enjoyed seeing the process. A lot of work goes into what you do. Definately a labor of love. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks

Don't worry about how long the video is. What I don't like is someone that zips through the log real quick and that's all there is. What's the point in that? I'd rather hear what's happening, understand your thought process, see how you handle any problems you run into, and get a good look at some nice lumber.

[@georgewoodoftexas3509]

Thanks for the nice comment.

[@tomclark3986]

not to long for me!

[@allencarroll8868]

I have a question looks like you cut your log into a cant that’s a lot of turning could you cut on 3 sides and leave the bottom rough with bark and start cutting down to the bottom?

[@georgewoodoftexas3509]

Yes, any step that improves sawmill efficiency is a good one. Another thing I have discovered by listening to my customers is the NEW trend of natural edge boards on most lumber. Not really new but rediscovered in DYI videos and magazines. Most of my lumber I now cut straight through the log leaving a natural edge on both sides. If the customer wants a Stright edge on their boards after they buy them, I take it back to the sawmill. Stand it on its vertical edge and rip them a straight edge. Wider boards are easier to store while they dry and look more impressive to the buyer. Thanks for the question.

[@dalehall9909]

Why didn't you quarter saw that?
