I bet mom has a newfound respect for how fast her girls can cut up a log.

[@nelskrogh3238]

With Mom ready to take over the mill, Em & Jade can jet off to the Caribbean for a week vacation!

[@michaelolenick4078]

When are mom and dad take their week to the beach???

[@ronpeer7975]

Wow I had no idea its so complicated to run. Jade and Emerald make it look so easy.

[@williamgibb5557]

Practice makes perfect!

[@christopherweise438]

@@williamgibb5557 - That's true....but some people never get the rhythm down. Em and Jade are naturals. I've seen boss lady with a chainsaw and based on that have no doubt she'll master the sawmill.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

​@@christopherweise438 i will share a secret that will take the secret of lumber capital log yard. it truly is a family business and it changes.over time in i will say things that could be considered critical but was not meant to be to be critical but my observation only and some questions are asked out of curiosity because i have done similar hobby type work in a wood lot that i owned for about 35 years and my dad started owning and my mon worked like the boss lady handling all the ancillary chores to make things work. those underappreciated things like during water, you don't appreciate water until the well runs dry. and i have a dutch heritage and a last name that starts with water. i did not appreciate hydration until my dad had is last week on earth. i speculate he got pneumonia when i took him to the cancer building for a chemo treatment for preleukemia. my daddy died in 2012 on june 8 one day before his mothers birthday and 2 days before mom and dads youngest bonus baby with evil and robbie knievel daredevil painted in war paint (a make up a ride and hide pimples and wrinkles). a baby maryann and only hell that my parents ever had. she was they only family to watch my daddy die. i was not told that he was close to death both sisters knew and my daddy died young at 81. he was the first naturalized american waterschoot to die. i lost my wife jane due to complications of black widower spider bite on 9-11-2019 at an age of 64 and my parents only dutch conceived and born in the usa in 1958 and he died younger on may 24, 2021 aged 62 from complications of a kidney transplant that worked for 2 weeks and he went home for a weekend. when he went for a follow-up check up and it was a run away side in hospital care and the day he went home for hospice care on a friday afternoon and he was breathing via an oxygen tube until he died on a monday morning around 7:30. i guess god called him for work after his life time on earth one month and one day before his 38th wedding anniversary to his wife sue. sorry it is my story of family values and changes. lumber capital log yard is similar there were two older children from the boss lady terri's first marriage that did not work she got the kids as kids the grew up in log yard.the boy loved snow boarding and his birth state wisconsin and when he left, his sister Samantha or sammi joined him and the log yard lost the primary wood cutter that was trained in ken the boss man. just a note the boss man trained em is the heir of the sawmill operation and jade might be a spare and was she was trained by em or the boss man or even maybe the older man called grand pa tell us about the good old days. my best guess what good ole days we made things better today is good and with god's blessings tomorrows will be better. should it not think of what to with lemons and other challenges in life make some lemonade if you can and if not make something sweet lake the halloween trick or treat please give me something sweet to eat. thank you of the blessed triple play do something good whatever good can be and do the best you can be.

[@richardherring8220]

Teaching the boss lady to run the LT 40 proves that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree !!

[@crazynok5511]

The worst part of being the boss is training someone , but nothing got broke and no one got fired so nice job ladies.

[@ronaldzeoli7528]

You ladies are all hard workers. Go women power.

[@johnwaller4983]

Great patients teaching something so complicated,I’m sure after a couple day’s running it bosslady will be running it like a champ

[@kearnsey64]

I'm actually shocked mom doesn't already know this? She does every other thing! LOL! Including keeping a home!

[@davidpickens5693]

They teach you to drive a car, you teach them to run the mill!😊

[@photorealm]

Emerald makes it look so easy, but there's a heck of a lot going on that you have to be on top of to get lumber out of logs.

[@bobwollard9105]

Emerald, that was really cool to see you working with your mom. You are obviously a good teacher, and your mom showed that she is a patient and observant student. No blade breaks and no sawed off log dogs. Well done, ladies.

[@jerrybrixey7434]

Mom is one cool cat.

[@davidmahoy4478]

This is a rare event, daughter teaching mother how to run machinery. Nice job Emerald.

[@rockinguitar101]

Actually surprised that Boss lady has never ran the LT-40, Emerald is the best teacher.

[@jerrybrixey7434]

Go mom!

[@glenshauf9990]

Glad to see you helping Mom run the new saw. I know you and your husband are so proud of your daughters

[@woodworkking1099]

Emerald totally in her element, she loves to teach!

[@christopherweise438]

Watching a newbie learn the sawmill really makes you appreciate how smooth and efficient Em and Jade are. Great video. You trained all of us instead of just your mom.

[@user-kg7co9vi5r]

Good job Em and Boss Lady. It's hard to teach something that has so many things that you do without consciously thinking about doing them.

[@miraclemax08]

It's *_ALL_* those *_little_* things that you and Jade learned running the mill day in and day out that add up to make the difference between being efficient/productive and *_just_* keeping the mill running *_just_* to stay busy . . . someone can run a piece of equipment for a *_long_* time and claim to have experience . . . it's how *_WELL_* someone runs that same piece of equipment to get the most out of it that demonstrates *_SKILL and experience_* . . . so cool to see you and your mom, side by side gettin' stuff done

[@erwinaddison2030]

The family tree is branchin out lol😊 little splinter is passing on knowledge..

[@johnschnorr9271]

One of the hardest things to teach is something you have been doing by rote for years. Verbalizing what you do and the thought process behind is the mark of a intelligent employee. You are all lucky to working together.

[@leejproductions27]

Your mother is very brave to learn the machine on camera.

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

HI from lumberjack Florida state Forest❤

[@MyWillypilly]

A parent who can take being the student (of their child) , shows wisdom. Big kudos. I hope it runs both ways..

[@Danzilly]

Emerald cool to see your mom again!

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

Way to go Mom!

[@madisonsgrandy]

That was a great video. Very educational. Your mom is a quick learner and a very attractive lady.

[@terrydawkins9936]

Good to see mom….I know she is a beautiful mom I see it in her daughters…….a wonderful family

[@johnhenderson299]

I'm glad you have the patience to teach your Mom

[@wiltchamberlain1928]

There is something so special and wholesome seeing a family business ran well

[@rawhidehat]

Watching mom learn shows us how easy you girls make sawing look. It's quite complicated. It's also a good thing that machine isn't a horse. It would know right away there is a novice at the controls. Lol

[@ernestospadolesto8126]

The boss woman is not the least bit nervous and completely relaxed - that must have been years of hard training by Emerald and Jade. Nothing can upset you anymore. Moms are the best, I just told my mom that last week.

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Thursday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

[@56Spookdog]

Such a fantastic video. The perfect way to show how to operate the mill and how Emerald and Jade make it look like a piece of cake, good job Boss Lady.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

the boss man and grand pa trained the family jewels. it started wit sammi the samantha first daughter of the boss lady and ken adopted her as his own when he married the hoss boss lady. out of a climaxed moment of love em then a product of love and with god the wizard of odds and mysterious ends ken and terri named em after the ruby of emerald city and they that was a very good name since em had beautiful ruby red hair that is now so long it reaches her proverbial mckey gilley belly button. when em finds a potential life partner the boss man will grill and drill the suitor what of wood he cuts like a woodchuck chews wood if it could chew wood. it is a trick question. porcupines climb trees and chews tree tops of hemlock and pine trees and when it finishes digesting the greens it sends the remains down the poop chute and it looks like it is raining deer sized droppings and if to big and wet it looks like bear scat and raccoon turds. sometimes there is so much turds it looks the tree hallows are full of porcupine sheets of turds and other. jade don't feel jaded time to recharge the not so smart smart foney baloney communication systems. also time to heat and reheat a cup of coffee or something woody like the make on a discovery show called to moonshine or not moonshine make money or go to jail for moonshining and al capone tax evasion or indecent exposure for dropping drawers or up lifting comando butt naked skirts and mooning law enforcement officers or some fish cops from wild fish and game first responders.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

The lovely Mrs. LCLY graces the scene! Thank you Mrs. LCLY for raising such wonderful and dutiful children. Anyone would be appreciative of this family working together and sharing the responsibility of the family business. A little tip if I may: During my carpenter years I learned that everybody makes mistakes. The difference between the professional and the amateur is; the pro fixes them, the amateur lives with them. tnx ben/ michigan

[@dogcreek8547]

It sure takes some mind tuning to run that mill. Eventually one becomes one with the machine.

[@ahill209]

The Boss Lady learns quick. And Emerald, you are so patient! At first, it looks complicated, but once you get the hang of it, not so bad. This morning I counted the number of switches the driver operates on my new car. I got up to 68 and that didn't include all the positions each switch has. So, maybe it's more difficult to drive than to cut logs.

[@gregoryspencer3619]

Emerald makes the job look easy. Boss lady great job 👏 👍

[@alanwilliamson2259]

Well done Mum, nailed it !

[@paulbarr3981]

Truth is every cut is different. Nice patience there Emerald. Mom will get it. This schooling is totally hands on and experience built.

[@anthonyricard7458]

You are a great teacher, I'm sure it will be nice to have another hand on the mill! Thanks for sharing with us and have a great evening! TTFN

[@RobertSababady]

I took the skills required to mill logs for granted because the both Emerald and Jade make it look so seamless....... now I understand how much coordination, skills and knowledge it takes to mill logs in such a smooth fashion - as the Two of you do Em and Jade!

[@adirondackwoodsman]

It is always tough teaching someone. You got as much of an education as your mom. 😂

[@robmosher362]

Great instructions, normally you never teach a family member how to drive or operate a sawmill, if you want to keep peace in the family. You did it ‘Em. More videos please.

[@vdtra]

Emerald if I did not know what I was doing, you would be number one instructor that would love to teach me. You are so awesome.

[@alwynvandenberg1346]

Hi Em, You really got your job cut out for yourself today. Teaching your mom/Bosslady - well that's one BIG task. Remember, for most of your life, it was just the other way around. I know that as with all other things, you as a family will pass this hurdle also with flying colors. Greetings from South Africa.

[@beeamerica5024]

That was fun watching one female teach another as it turned out you are a great teacher 💯😁😉🐝

[@Grandpa82547]

I noticed that Bossman isn't here. Is he best kept out in the woods and away from the dangerous stuff? LOL And, they do look like sisters!

[@HiLineTree]

Family is everything. Stay close. Remember to stay safe in all that you do. 🙏

[@KBTurns]

YAY, Mom.. She's a keeper y'all

[@pgadams1]

Your mom should star in more videos!

[@rickpabalis7987]

So cool to see Em showing mom to run the mill. Great video!

[@petemenhennet9792]

Now I realise how complicated that machine is to operate although Emerald makes it look super easy. That's when you know you're watching an expert. Very interesting video, well done to all.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Great video! Your mom was a very good student!👏👏👏👏

[@cuthbertdingleberry2325]

Hey everyone….. 😊

[@jerrybrixey7434]

The dog was intently listening too, let him try

[@johnaddis1022]

Good Job Boss Lady, Emerald you did outstanding! Now Boss Lady you can get a better feel of the hydraulics if you go out by yourself and run thru the operations with out a log a few times to learn the movements once comfortable Loggg on! Jla🤠

[@richardherring8220]

Em,I must agree with you, the beginning is always the best place to begin !!

[@christopherweise438]

Everybody's a comedian. 😉

[@dynacoman7363]

Very impressive for your first log. Positive - can do attitude is what all teachers look for. Must of been fun for Jade to record your interactions with Em and the LT-40. A whole family of Winners.

[@JosephMullin]

Good job Mom

[@fuzzydave]

I don't know why, but I enjoy the double hand wave. Keep up the good work.

[@rodvaughan8628]

Did good Mom you had a good teacher.

[@dgrock2484]

Really enjoy these videos , seems like such a nice family, nice to see a family run business , great channel 👍

[@williamwhite1596]

Teaching us all ! Ha. Good video ! God Bless !!!

[@Woodburner100]

Sounds like a lot of instructions in pretty quick succession for poor Mom to try to keep up with, plus she has a camera staring at her at the same time. Please be patient and it’ll all come together. It’s great to see Boss Lady featured!

[@dennisg4053]

A few more hours of practice... The Muscles Memories will begin taking hold! Just like riding a bike!

[@georgecrinnion2131]

FLUID CHECKS: Water in blade lubrication/cooling tank CHECK - Gasoline in gas tank CHECK - Coffee in Mom tank CHECK :)

[@jtkdmd6266]

Awesome instruction Emerald! Way to go Mom!

[@cD-vg5go]

Hi Mom ! say , i recommend you read the operators manual.. Its adds So much about where why and what to look for. easy read and will help very much with control settings. Nice to See you !

[@stevehowe5066]

Emerald and Jade, you are so amazing, boss lady as well! I've had LT40 for 2 years and nowhere near as good as you girls🤦 I've learned so much from your videos..

[@stephenwilliams4118]

I love the way you took the time to explain and let your Mom actually run the mill as opposed to running it and having her watch, hands on will accomplish much more. I found it to be super complicated and yet she did really well for the first time on the mill. Now three of the Breon ladies will be able to mill lumber so even if someone is off for the day the business will continue.

[@lmenascojr]

Looked complicated to me! It’s those “little things” that make different between sellable board footage and scrap/firewood! Much respect to those who master it!

[@earldean4858]

You GO MOMMA!!! great job!

[@goatfather5711]

Can't wait to see all 3 sisters milling some beautiful soft and hard wood.

[@japie1961]

Nice❤

[@kopenhagenkid]

Your Mom did a great job running the sawmill Emerald

[@apollomoon1]

That’s a pretty cool video Em. We usually don’t get to hear how loud the mill is because you have music on. It was kind of a look at how easy you make operating it look. Great idea. Now your mom can do a Patreon video to go with it. Thanks for posting.

[@sapphiresword139]

Emerald, are you training a replacement for yourself? Getting ready to start college maybe? Probably just filling a double purpose. Finding video ideas and finding ways to hang with mom. We all love to watch your family work. You make it fun somehow.

[@thomasnourse7506]

Way to go teaching mama!

[@kennethhockey2598]

Great video. I personally enjoyed seeing patience displayed by both mom and daughter. LCLY rocks, again ☺️👍

[@mngbennett]

Training is never easy. Good job on the patience both of you.

[@williamcarswell1071]

what fun daughter and mother,, lovely to see,, Mom is smart,, she will pick it up quickly !!

[@AB-C1]

Great video! Your mum looks more like your sister! You two REALLY look alike! Your mum did really well picking up the machine. As you said lots of little adjustments that you just do automatically without thinking that she has to learn and the order but looks like she did well! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@williamwigfield7296]

As a Java junkie too that swig at the beginning before work just killed me😝 Nice to see family working together. Nice vid.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Your mom is a nice lady. Easy to see where you girls got your niceness from. Oh yeah, and dad is nice too. 🙂

[@mikemorgan4726]

Wow I'd never seen the mother before that's cool! Truly a family business

[@thebruin2775]

Supermom, Pretty soon you all can retire and watch Mom do it all! LOL Another in a long line of awesome videos ! Peace

[@bluenetmarketing]

That looks like it would take a lot of practice to get really good at it.

[@chipwhitely1490]

Seriously super video, above par camera work, awesome trainer beautiful student, Ken can't be prouder. Thanks cool to see Teri helping more and more. However I fear it will impact her business, awesome video I thank you Emerald, Jade,Teri and Roxy. Even the debarker survived.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

Your a good operator you make it look easy.

[@jott5940]

😃👍👍❤️‼️ Like and Hope To See more trainingparts from you with your Mom, Wish you all fun and success at the trainings !!!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Impressive tell your mom she did awesome!

[@glenshauf9990]

Glad these young women are going on a Well Deserved Holiday. I know how proud you are of them and they are so proud of their parents ❤❤

[@d.t.4523]

It looks easier than it probably is. Good luck!

[@Alexhulk]

You are super unique good family !! Love ya all

[@johncostello3162]

Teach Mom how to run the mill and go on a vacation 😊

[@mowis4824]

It's like a video game -- the kids make it look easy. But Mom's a good sport and gets it done.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Emerald, are you sure this is your Mom, I think she is your sister ! You are a great teacher, Thanks for sharing !

[@samchapple6363]

Excellent. I’m mom and dads age and this is so relatable. ❤

[@billmillar7234]

Good job,Boss Lady!!......there is definitely a learning curve....and doubly hard first time with all of us watching.....but it started to smooth out

[@NarnianRailway]

hmmmm, if Boss Lady and Jade run the LT40, Emerald would be available to assist Boss Man loading logs out in the woods and twice as many videos
