Today is Sawmill Day!

[@millcrafters]

Tom I am going to tell you something. When I first saw you on Outdoors WTMorgans, I thought c'mon how interesting is pouring concrete going to get? I have to admit, thanks to your personality, and congenial approach to things, I absolutely love your channel. That's the earmark that separates the men from the boys, and that is how friendly, and easy going you are. No hard sell, just down to earth commentary, like a friend. It's a pleasure to see your videos, keep up the great work.

[@JohnWilson-ql8ks]

AMEN couldn't agree with you more.

[@DrLarryAnderson]

I lend my voice of strong support for what @Bob Feeser has said here. Now, for many more days/months/years, we get to watch boatloads of boards come off of Tom's new WoodMizer. What a terrific "bond" we viewers get to witness when Mike and Tom are working together to provide top-notch viewing! Now, Tom....here's a challenge! Can you get your wife to come out and help with offloading the boards, etc., like Melissa does with Mike?? We are watching!!! 🙂

[@robertchampion2032]

I couldn't have said that any better. I might over look other channels for awhile but not this one.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear it.

[@holymoly6829]

Good comment there Bob Feeser Exactly right

[@ronwhite6719]

Two friends working together, doesn't get any better than that.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Right on

[@marcconner8382]

Logging with the Hauses !

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I’m excited for you, little bit of a learning curve for sure but like everything you do you will master it in no time

[@DrLarryAnderson]

And, HUUUUGE thanks to you, MIke, for not only sharing the WoodMizer with Tom, but also helping him achieve major success on his first cut! Now, it's gonna be fun to see what all Tom rolls off that mill...and we viewers get to watch a long-term partnership between you two magnificent guys. That's 100% American spirit, guys!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks for the help. Mike really appreciate it.

[@haroldmessimer4949]

Two of my favorite channels. Well done comrades, well done.

[@chrisbarr1359]

I watched Tom's channel first. Then he poured at Mike's place and I started watching Mike! I suspect many watched one channel then discovered the other one.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Glad to hear. Thanks.

[@SilverBack.]

Well done Tom and Mike. New toy Tom , you will be look at trees in a different way now

[@marydomitrovic3468]

My two favorite channels working together on a “show and tell”! That’s the best of both and your viewers reap the rewards.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Great thanks

[@harryhumphrey2895]

Tom that sawdust is the best oil dry you can get….after you soak up oil ,good fire starter.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

There you go,

[@ronallen6578]

What a Saturday morning video!! Starting with Mike and Tom setting up a new mill PROPERLY! Then Mr. Wizard showing his blade lubricant secret formula, Paul Bunyan getting rid of Ole Blue cutting lumber and Norm Abram preparing, in his mind, his 1st project already!!😁😁😁. What is it about getting a new toy, yes I said toy😊, that just gets a grown man giddy with anticipation?? These are the times that keep us young, aren't they Tom?? Do you plan on putting some kind of roof or cover over the mill? The NEW lumber storage building of course😁. I'm sure you know and Mike re-iterated that you'll need to do some chain saw work to those behemoth maple logs to get them even close to fitting your mill. Watching this brings back some great memories of when I would have my own logs cut into lumber. I got to admit that I was a real stickler for only the best logs I could get. I usually had my lumber quarter cut a lot of the time for stability plus I just liked the look in cabinets and most furniture I built. When do you plan on getting the new dry kiln installed??😉😉. I could go on all day, but I'll stop. I know I chat too much, but this is going to be so much fun for you in the coming months. Be safe, don't rush and enjoy!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That’s a good Saturday

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

TOM, really enjoyable watching yinz guys work together. You both have each other's back. Learning from MIKE is a breeze. Had to chuckle when Mike said, " monback" & "skoochit" ! Definitely Pittsburghers lingo! Good Shhtuff!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It was fun

[@kevinhall2266]

Between the the two of you there isn’t much you can’t do. You’ll have a ball with your new toy and it’s a good getaway. I can see all kinds of wood projects on the rise!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Looking forward to it thanks

[@stupiddems9422]

Congrats with your sawmill Tom! I remember when we got our first one 26 years ago now they are so much more advanced, now we have 3 on the homestead all in perfect working condition to this day! Take care of it and it will last a very long time. We sharpen our own blades and do them during our Alaskan long winters... we cut allot of timber for our family owned and run operation. At the start I did allot of the sawing now my children and grandchildren do most of the "hard labor"! Its good to see them living and giving their utmost to the builds around our many self made shops, greenhouses, our lodge, our MANY houses and many cabins, barns, our mine operations, our lumber drying kilns, our firewood bunker, enclosed pens, (for our livestock and poultry during our long winters) our dock on our lake and the boathouse extension and our moose enclosures for milking and berthing, all on our 5 generational homestead which was first started back in1927! Its good to excel at one thin its more rewarding to branch out to other endeavors that bring goals of a shared experience of self/group independence. We have a VERY LARGE family all living, learning, breathing, growing, populating, building for that goal of independence. There are very few things my 8 children and their spouses, their children and their spouses and now their children! We are just one homestead of many in our neck of the wood and most are just as devoted to our way of life that we call life! Family, Faith, Freedom Always...

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Very cool story thank you very much for sharing. I may have to reach out to you for some advice.

[@stupiddems9422]

@@Concretewiththehauses I am old and sometimes I am even at a loss in what I do...this is the biggest reason we have so many diverse children, and grandchildren! The wife and I gave them the basics and they each have excelled in THEIR own aspects of life here on our shared homestead. it seems crowded when you try to write down every persons name in our huge 4 generational family and their spouses and even some of the spouses parents and brothers and sisters who have joined with us. All bring knowledge and skills that do nothing but add to our collective pool of independence ... If I don't have a clue about something I just holler and get the answer within minutes! So advice is just that shared knowledge by many different sources I am not to much into concrete (most of what I have learned is from shows on the internet like your shows. Almost everything we build on is actual foundational rock. So you are the person I would recommend to others for your expertise and advise. When I served for 24 years in the Navy (Vietnam era) I was a Seabee our moto in the Division I was in was "We build We fight!" My last rank before I retired was CW03. We built bigger and better than ANY other armed force in the world in my day... Family, Faith, Freedom Always... PS sorry bout the rants its how we were ALSO in my day...FFFA

[@frankbever1788]

When you go......go big! Congratulations on your sawmill.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I agree thanks

[@chrisbarr1359]

This is gonna go great with Tom's woodworking hobby! Imagine what it would cost to buy (8) 4/4 by 8" by 9' oak boards at the lumber yard. Tom is gonna have as much hardwood as his heart desires! That oak slab wood (cut offs) will be good for a fire pit. Now Mike needs to school him on strickering, stacking and drying his lumber.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

A lot to learn .looking forward to it. Thanks.

[@jerryodonoghue8624]

Loved the video. I am sure that you will get a lot of satisfaction working with this machine. People working together at things they want to do and finding someone to help learn the ropes. Old school works every time. Pleasurable experience.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Really looking forward to it

[@dodgeman658]

Tom looks good 👍 You have a great instructor there . Glad to see you didnt try those big logs right out of the gate!

[@davidbishop4015]

Great job Tom and Mike. The size of those logs you picked up, Tom were huge. I can't imagine the size of the tree before it came down. Mike you're a good teacher and Tom is a fast learner. Good luck with the mill Tom. You'll be a pro in no time. Stay safe.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Really looking forward to using it. Thanks.

[@keithburch5506]

Running the mill is just like any other machine. In time, you will not only become mentally expert but also you'll feel every movement, right or wrong, good or bad. From what I've seen you do, you'll have it down pat by the second log. How good is this! I'm looking forward to all the videos coming now! Yay! I'm also betting Steve and Tommy will need some lumber cut. Better get one of the tree services Mike uses to bring you some loads of logs. I'm happy for you, Tom. You really are a jack of all trades.👍❤🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Really looking forward to using it a lot

[@markholmes1346]

What a great friendship, two men from different professions helping one another. I’d love to see you guys working together more often! Great video guys! ✌🏼🙏🏼❤️ PS, looks like you caught on quickly Tom!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That was fun. Thanks.

[@buckeyefarmer6259]

Congratulations on the first cut!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That was incredible. Thanks.

[@craigsudman4556]

Pretty soon you're going to need a new channel...something like TIMBER TIME with Tom. Good luck with Mike's old machine, looks like a lot of fun. Great video Tom & Mike thumbs up.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That would look good on a T-shirt

[@jimkempton5568]

Thrilled for ya Tom!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks Jim

[@JohnWilson-ql8ks]

well look at you !! a woodman now. great video. And thanks to Mike for the great instructions..

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I don’t know if I go that far but you’re right about Mike

[@johnelliott6738]

Tom, you learned a new skill from a good friend. Doesn’t get any better!

[@barryd.thomassr.9156]

Tom: You will be Flying like Mike in NO TIME! Two of the BEST!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I hope so. Thanks.

[@ciwwebmaster]

That Tom can do anything, I guess. I did not know you were a sawyer...too! I love the way Tom always says to his help, LETS GO! My favorite on the job saying..man it works. This is a cool video guys. Thanks.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Glad you like it. Thank you very much.

[@michaeldelora5177]

Mike makes it look so easy on his channel. I didn't know how much goes into setting up the log. Exiting video.

[@dford8874]

Look how nice those boards look

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

It's great to see the mill up and running can't wait to see more saw milling 👍🏻

[@papadave9061]

What a great team. Tom, you may have just found a new vocation, eh? Let the other guys take the lead on the concrete, and you can just mill logs. 😀That excavator was struggling a bit, but I'm glad you were able to get those logs home. They should make for some very interesting lumber. Have you seen Matt Cremona and his milling setup?

[@Concretewiththehauses]

No, I will check it out. Thanks.

[@davidrussell9078]

Two alpha's working together.Great video for a lazy Saturday morning coffee!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

That sawmill is awesome and What a great guy Mike is!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I agree with both

[@DrLarryAnderson]

Just plain FAN.TAB.ULOUS, Tom!!! LOVE this!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@E.Meyers]

The initial log moving was a nail biter! I guessed the one weighed close to two tons. Close! Great teacher and fast learning student. The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. 😊

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Some of these toys are quite pricey, but fun

[@jamesyoung4633]

life after concrete a saw mill. I like wood. You already have the tools to finish what you process. it just needs to dry.

[@ptyptypty3]

wow, Tom and Mike are the COOLEST guys !!! Thanks to Mike for helping Tom out with a Sawmill .. and for sure Tom will return the favor with Concrete deals later! Educational AND FUN videos by these Two guys!! THANK YOU.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

You’re welcome and thank you

[@jakeschisler7525]

Tom, you had the best teacher for this first time.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I agree thanks

[@stevenmcintosh3303]

Looks like fun. I'd love to have one of those and access to logs. Enjoy!

[@DanDeVoto]

Tom, nice machine, don't forget to sticker your freshly cut lumber. Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun.

[@dmorgan28]

You’re doing a good job on that mill Tom. That’s some beautiful grain in that wood too. 👍❤️

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I love it thanks

[@DanKlein_1]

That was fun. you picked it up fairly quickly. I would think that it will take a few logs for things to start clicking automatically. One thing I remember from a past sawmill video is someone said sooner or later you will run into one of the uprights because they are set too high. I can see that being an easy thing to overlook. Exciting video. I can see you having a lot of fun with that.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I can definitely see me hitting one of those uprights question is when thanks again

[@Davewdmace]

Awesome Tom. It's always enjoyable learning something new, keeps life interesting.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes thanks

[@ringstinga]

As a joiner for 40 odd years I can tell the creative juices are going to flow with this new toy !😁 Looking forward to seeing more of these videos as well as the concrete . Enjoy your new machine !

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Looking forward to it thanks

[@BirdYoumans]

Something to think about. I just checked Home Depot. A 1x12x12 what they call white wood, probably some sort of pine, is $40. So every time you make a cut once you have your cant you just saved yourself 20 to 40 depending on the length and width of your board. Now if you get 6 to 10 boards from a cant, the math works out pretty good.

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I like that math

[@robertbowen2129]

Cutting timber with Tom 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Concretewiththehauses]

I like it

[@brentclarke1841]

Couldn't happen to 2 nicer guys,, will be interesting to see what Tom makes.........👍👍🛠🛠

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@frijoli9579]

Cool video! As Tom said, "that's the coolest thing I've ever seen!"

[@j.m.k.3406]

Pretty neat Tom! Thanks for taking me along!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks, you’re welcome

[@ptyptypty3]

I swear.. I just saw Emily and Melissa looking out the window and pointing and Laughing at Tom and Mike !! lol They were overheard telling a joke that began with, "How Many Men does it take to set up a Saw Mill?" The answer, "Who Cares!! that's their problem" :) (you better be laughing) :)

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Funny, thanks

[@holymoly6829]

Tom you’ve got that saw mill pre owned Mike takes care of all of his gear So it’s as good as a new un Well done happy sawing The work you did in the week was amazing btw 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thank you very much

[@CranialAccess]

Greetings from upstate New York! My wife and I enjoy both your channels immensely. Her first comment after watching this one was “it’s nice they are friends” . 😊

[@Concretewiththehauses]

It sure is. Thanks.

[@jerrythompson7744]

You did a good job cutting that log , maple is a nice wood , you be making furniture in no time

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Thanks

[@raybennett3692]

Great!!!! you guys should do more together maybe Tom can show Mike how to do a concrete pour it's just good to see two men with a few years under their belts taking things easy one being taught by the other

[@Concretewiththehauses]

That would be fun. Thanks.

[@anoka114]

Wow those are some hefty logs you have! Good luck with the saw. You have a great teacher!!

[@Concretewiththehauses]

Yes he is. Thanks. Looking forward to it.

[@johnaddis1022]

Congrats, when you cut your first board its in your blood then no going back! Find a couple of screw jacks they work great for leveling a log for the first cut if they have the bolt type screw a Dewalt driver will make it easier to make the adjustments. Have Fun! John from Georgia

[@johnaddis1022]

OOPS Scissor jacks my bad!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

​@@johnaddis1022 Knowing TOM , he'll fabricate something for a log leveler ! (Bottle jack maybe ?)

Thank you, John

Love the sawmill video Tom. Mike is a good teacher, and you two guys are the top of my list of channels i really enjoy. TY Tom for brining us along on new adventures... Not only do i get to watch foundations being poured and established, but watch the milling of the lumber to create and build on top of the concrete... :) from SE Texas a fan "Bear" 👍
