This log was MASSIVE - RARE Pine log on the Sawmill

In this video you will get to watch along as we tackle one of the largest logs we have ever dealt with. Takes a little time to bring this big log down to size! Skip along through the video if you wish! It is a long one, and the 2x4's it made were very nice as you can see in the end! #sawmill #woodmizer #lumber

You are good at what you do! Sometimes ingenuity is what gets it done.

Well done on the second turn of that big 30" log by the team of Miss Brittany, Mr. Tyler, and the "the Wizard"! 😅

I like the longer format. Spending time with you too is like spending time with family. I'm not a Sawyer. I had relatives that owned a sawmill when I was a little girl....a loooonnnngggg time ago. All I was allowed to do was pick up slabs and bring them to the stack. Someone else would put the slab on the stack. Thank you for all the different kinds of videos you film, edit, and share with us. One last thing..... DANG if that catfish doesn't look delicious. You can keep the bass.... Catfish is my favorite with bluegill and crappie coming in 2nd and 3rd. Once again, thanks for the company even if it is on KZbin!!! You are da best! Tennessee Vol! Kim

[@jamesbean7560]

my dad would have loved this show...he worked in wood his whole life.....beautiful cabinets, etc.

[@TheFlyingfarmer28170]

I mounted a 12 volt winch above my LT 15 to turn the larger logs. I forged a hook like a big fish hook that I use with a chain. I use a 12 volt deep cycle battery that I keep charged with a solar charger. The winch has a remote control, that lets me stand clear of the log. It works real good. Have a Great Evening!

You have a skilled tractor operator. She is a keeper.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Indeed!

[@billyhinton9155]

That was a big pine, BUT you have the saw for the job now! Great video,keep them coming ok...........Brittany looks like great help on the job............

I can definitely see why you were glad to get your new sawmill.

Great log handling use chock blocks and any thing else to stay safe. log turner operator did a great job.🦾

Absolutely!

Y'all made a real nice video. Long videos sre definitely welcome Thank you

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

More to come!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya to you both. Great video again, thank you. Before I forget, and I will, perfect music. Very Pink Floyd, one of my all-time favourite bands. I love how you see the problem and just overcome it. Never a drama, never a crisis, just a solution waiting to happen, and then it does; solved. Stay safe, Steve.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@preciousmemories6890]

Love to see good down to earth American's gettin'-er-done. Great job!!!!

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Thanks 👍

[@loghog4392]

I too am operating an LT15 wide. I turn the big logs with a Hi-Lift jack. Slight learning curve but works great. Also use it to raise the small end of the log, then block it, so the pith is parallel to the frame. Thanks for the great videos too!

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

That’s a good way to do it!

[@harleyweyer2580]

I really enjoy your videos

[@stevengambrell7826]

I just constructed one of your overhead log turner hoist over my old Meadows mill. Best $300 I ever spent! Love ya videos.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Thanks man! I’m glad you like it!!!

[@garyblevins3532]

I've got a homemade sawmill and I have to improvise quite a bit with turning logs by myself so having a tractor with forks on it is essential for me and anyone who has a sawmill in my opinion. Enjoyed the video

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Absolutely! We plan to install a winch in the future overhead!

[@charleswills7695]

Brit is good at turning logs with your help

[@braddube101]

What a beauty! The log too lol

[@txhogdoggn]

before i built my lifting hooks from 2 78" log rite mega hook cant hook, i used 2 1000# ratchet straps, with the ratchet head at my pallet fork frame, and wrapped the strap and hook around the log, depending which direction i needed to roll it and used my kubota 7060 and lifted like you did. i was able to roll red oak and some walnut in the 38" diameter range with little effort. since most of the logs im milling are much to heavy for my 7060 to lift, i use a M936A2 wrecker to lift and load the loads. the last hardwood log i milled weighed in around 5000 lbs and the rotator on the wrecker made loading and turning the log a breeze, using the modified cant hook hooks. as for clamping big diameter logs, i do the same thing you did and use that toeboard wedge till the clamps will fit and work

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Works out great! Sounds like you got a good operation!

[@txhogdoggn]

@@wallacefarmandsawmill its a sore operation. even with equipment, a freshly repaired lower back, its still a back breaker. next yr my wide will be half paid off and i WILL put my deposit down for a 40 wide and sell my 15w and dump the sale cash into the price of the 40w. hopefully then, it will be good. plus i should have my wide cut (82" between guides) band mill built for those a little to big for the 40 wide.

[@m8s4lif]

That was a nice little log. {I'm out here in Southwestern Oregon.} Hey, that was a nice log. Good job on turning it too. That is a nice sawmill. Enjoy it and stay safe.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Thanks for watching!!! I love watching Oregon logging! Big timber/steep ground.

[@m8s4lif]

@@wallacefarmandsawmill I grew up around timber, but I still really enjoy watching folks from all over this beautiful country working with timber as well as running mills. Here in Oregon, we now run a lot of small logs.

[@jamesdaves7680]

I’ve got an old hook from an old Cant hook, I’ll be making a log turner. Thanks.

[@ronnieterry4916]

You guys are an amazing team. I'm only guessing but I think both of you grew up in rural USA? Probably on a farm. Way to go. Keep up the good work.

[@dwaynefowler7093]

ok you cut the 2x4s for the pallets HOW ABOUT THE OTHER WOOD DO YOU CUT THAT ASWELL OR NOT THERES MORE TO PALLET THEN 2X4S AND HOW MUCH THE WOOD COSTFOR ALL THE WOOD

[@coggins63]

good job both of you.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there well done , question why not turn it 180 and have the flat down , it would be more balanced , . it would also save from sawing the bark 1 time , good show john

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

True! Good thoughts!

[@charliehenderson38]

That’s a nice pine log!!!

[@sdhelomz]

Great honest video

[@randygalloway618]

You would have thought they'd have provided bigger clamps and stops. Good job handling it. Do they offer a de-barker for this mill, from the looks of the slabs, there is a lot of bark coming in the kerf, which the debarker would probably stop--and save on blade wear too!

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

They don’t! At least in the USA. In Europe they offer it on the Lt15!

[@randygalloway618]

@@wallacefarmandsawmill Too bad Wonder if you could make a homemade one or get the Euro version and adapt it.

Good Morning Sir, is that chock block home made or something from WoodMizer.

[@troybeason3517]

What is the orange wedge you're using, did it come from Wood mizer?

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Came with my lt15 when I bought it used.

[@Jackofalltradesmastersofnone]

Save a good log like this and I’ll come up and saw it on my mill for you after deer season.

[@AndrewConary-s9l]

What do you do if you get a log too big for the mill

[@paulpotts5786]

I have sawed a 40in oak log 12ft long by my self at 73yrs old

[@butterbean05]

Could you rig another winch like you use on the circle mill but use a snatch block over the top of it and mount the winch on the back side of the shed?

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

That’s a very good idea! I been thinking of ways to do it.

[@rickysullivan4384]

What part of Ms ya'll in? I'm in Biloxi.

[@troybeason3517]

Does that hook come from a auto parts store, looks like a roll back hook?

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

It’s off a can’t hook.

[@stevehudson4151]

A nice product that I have made out of a pine log like that are 3 inch thick 24 inch wide workbench tops. Where did you get your log hook that works with a chain? Thank you.

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

Old can’t hook!

Beautiful job guys ,love watching your videos and yes you do have a beautiful wife,hugs and kisses to miss Brittany xxxxx Peter McFarlane South Australia xxxxx

[@cedricgates9976]

my guess that you dont have to do that very often or youd figure something out no debarker on that mill? or dont usualy need one? i hope you pay her well shes a good operator/helper

[@brannondyer4570]

How do you price cutting logs on your Corley for people? Iv got one started and don’t know how to price it.

Did I miss some vids on your house, in the background it looks finished, inquiring mind wants to know?

The command "Go ahead and go up" Was not allowed in our operation. Go ahead and back hp got a guy hurt.

[@billyshumate853]

Anything to make it easier

[@bwillan]

Who needs a hydraulic mill when you have a tractor, FEL and some chain? Are you making your own pallets?

Man I saw pine logs all the time that or that big and bigger there not but a few million of them down here in South Alabama . long leaf yellow pine I keep my logs in the pond for a year before I cut them my log truner I a trackho

[@wallacefarmandsawmill]

We don’t have many in the 30’s up this way! Big mills wiped them out early 2000’s.

[@geneporter4849]

They did down here too but there's a lot of private land that is still like it was when they came in here to run my kind fokes out of here and make them go to Oklahoma but some hung on too there land . so you have a lot of hundred acre tracks all over they just wanted the dry land to grow cotton and tobco.then the paper Mills came with the loblolly pine and so on but I love to work in woods that have not been cut over by logers like cotton top I cut my timber as I want to me and a saw and a mule one tree at atime the same way it was done in the 30s God Bless Y'all and if I was younger I would be making videos too but I do things my way and UT would not like it and I'm to old to change..but I would like to see old cotton top Whit all that safety stuff out in a pond full of be Gators cutting 200 year old Cyprus trees down it's not for the safety people just got to getter done

[@timcope3115]

Jesus, I know that you have to cut what makes you money but it is a shame to cut an almost clear log in little short 2X4s.

[@howardlowry6412]

'Specially to make pallets!

[@gregwitkamp5583]

since your chain is so long why dont you place your hook all the way around the log is flat so you you dont have to re hook and chance it coming loose. Bye the way check the air pressure in your tires

[@jamespeeks1542]

I do not mean to bad-mouth your work, a little constructive criticism, get some personal microphones. Your audio will be vastly improved. I do a lot of volunteer videography for my community and audio is more important than good video, I think.
