Your sister has some tough skin, no gloves on and handling rough cut lumber. My hats off to all of you, what a great work ethic. Keep on milling.

I remember driving from Ohio to West Virginia in the late sixties and early seventies,dad was pointing out all the elm trees wiped out by the Dutch Elm disease,the in 2003 my sister bought a beautiful Queen Ann Victorian home in Toledo Ohio ,was surrounded by the most beautiful ash trees you’ve ever seen .they started showing signs of the ash boar when I moved here in 2005 and by 2007 they were all completely dead and removed ,so sad 😞

It's crazy how much that mill wobbles when it returns after a cut. It's hard to believe it stays accurate.

Every time we toil. It feels like the season is set to boil. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard. It gets hot as heck. There's a hen somewhere thinking, " Yeah, it's even to hot to peck." Summer, why do you do these things to me. You set me loose but you never set me free. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard. Have to put up with the lotion. Just to keep sailing in your uv ocean. But it's not all bad. No, it's not all sad. Cause when work is done. You know. It's time to have fun. It almost makes you forget. How your day can be set. It gets hot in the yard. That's just summer with disregard.

The Wooly Adelgid insect has destroyed so many of our Hemlocks here in Central PA. There are locations in higher elevations that still have live trees, but most trees have the insect infestations. We're in Southern Clinton County, and in our 40 acre lot, we may have 25-30 that are still alive. We'll be milling them soon so that we don't lose them too.

[@Leffe192]

Do the insects bore the wood, or is it still possible to saw and use (newly) dead trees?

Nice, Hemlocks are suffering a blight and people are desperate to cut it down for lumber. Future seems bright for the Hemlock in your region.

There have been several useful and-or beautiful trees that have been decimated by various blights. It seems the less useful or less beautiful trees have had fewer problems. Hmmm.

We had the most beautiful Hemlocks here in the north Georgia mountains until the Wooly Adelgid wiped them out. There's a group still trying to save them with a pesticide application and of course planting saplings. I haven't checked in with them in a long time to see how it's going. I wonder if PA is participating in anything similar? There's an old saying: species come, species go... sadly, it is just plain truth that nothing will last forever....cept ❤ 😊

You are so lucky that you still have a logging and native timber industry as well have had native timber logging banned here in Victoria, Australia. So now we have to IMPORT timber (except for Pine) but apart from that, it has also seriously affected our fire wood industry.

Hemlock is now going to get more expensive as pine is cheaper and Pine is cheaper... enjoy and Loved your approach and the cut on the second log the real time one.. Taking that base hump out then making a another shallow cut to get the edge off the full length... that was smooth move.. gave you a extra board doing that. Not as wide as 10 inch or so but clearly a board just the same about 6 inches if not more. Watching Jade move the lumber on the pile while the LT was pushing back.. Yeah her eyes were watching everything and knows when to give up back off and let the machine go. Good spatial awareness

[@RoyatAvalonFarms]

I love hemlock for its natural rot resistance. Ironically a logger friend said he hated hemlock and couldnt even give them away. No one would buy them here. I was having talks about buying them so I could use for a log home I was planning to build and he was initially agreeing. And then a few short months later he went out of business and had to get a J.O.B working for someone else. Tough business and he lost. I hated that for him.

It’s nice to see the “meat and potatoes” of sawing as well as your artistic interpretation of it. That LT70 is a few steps above my poor old LT40 from the early 1990s. I saw mostly spruce and…pine. Some of it is pretty pitchy all right.

[@johnvogel641]

The side on views really shows how much larger the Lt70 is than your old mill

[@walterholmes4609]

I've noticed over time that your rages generally carry a good deal of info I'd otherwise not know. In short, I like them. Also, you being from the glorious mountains of PA I'm sure you're aware of the Chestnut Blight that devastated those trees last century. We can only pray that such a catastrophe does not play out with the Hemlock. I've noticed on the medium shot from the carrier that the cutting arm of the 70 bounces quite a bit at the end of the return. Does it affect aligning the next cut at all? Get more mugs into stock. New pup's looking gorgeous.

In New Zealand90%of homes are built using Pinus Radiata,lasts over 100years plus. We grow a hell of a lot it.

[@SoftwareSimian_]

In the US we call that the Monterey pine and it's native to the southern west coast and Mexico, a small region with comparable climate to New Zealand. California's primary pine harvest is the Ponderosa pine, a much larger species, but that is dwarfed by their fir harvest. LCLY, on the other hand, is in a region at a similar latitude to New York city, and for a distance comparison that is about 1.5 New Zealands north from where I reside in the south east were pine in our primary farm and harvest lumber.

[@markbernier8434]

Hemlock lasts. Barns with hemlock footers set right in the dirt are still good over a hundred years later. You girls need to take better care. Working outdoors like that you need hats. Skin cancer on the top of your ears is not fun. I have to say I would make the mill operator's position comfortable. A big umbrella, adjustable seating, anti fatigue mats maybe a cooler. Here is a thought, talk to grandpa and see if there is a spot on that mill to mount an alternator. That could give you some power for lights or a couple small things while it is running. Good luck.

[@scottsoper]

It does have an alternator. The trick is that it is up on the engine mounted on the mill head. I have seen pictures however of a small power line on a clothes line with rings so the power line could move with the mill head and get the power to the ground for what ever it is needed for.

I used to frame houses in NY's Hudson Valley. Most builders ordered hem-fir which is a species of hemlock that was used for all framing members. It is less expensive than Douglas fir and almost as strong. But some builders would order spruce (SPF) which is fine for studs but would also order the much stronger southern yellow pine (SYP) for joists and rafters which BTW is harder to saw and nail.

[@jaquigreenlees]

I would go with Cedar* or Douglas Fir for outdoor projects. Cedar is naturally rot resistant and pest control in one. Douglas Fir has been used for the critically important structural strength RIBS for fishing boats and cargo ships** so it is not as soft a wood as would be expected from being a fir. * Untreated Cedar shakes or siding both have a 25 year life span when completely exposed to the weather, treating / painting extends that. Cedar is also a natural pest control as in the wood is toxic to insects and rodents. sawdust / shavings around from Cedar keeps mice / rats away. * Old "age of Sail" Schooners etc built with Douglas Fir as ribs and they handled the tasks perfectly.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

You mill what grows locally couldn't afford to call Douglas fir all the way from the west coast to mill it. The trucking would make the lumber once sawn so expensive nobody would buy it. Not sure how common cedar is in that region either we have some around here but not a lot so cedar logs are expensive because of the limited supply

[@ericdickson7011]

Hey emerald hemlocks are not suffering from a blit it's wolly adalg you are referring to as a licensed Pesticide applicator here in western North Carolina I treat a lot of trees in ornamental setting but the adalgs have all but wiped out or hemlocks in Forrest settings 😢I'd say they will up in PA to might as well get the lumber while you can.

What is Eastern Hemlock good for? Out here in the West, hemlock is described as low quality wood, unsuitable for structural use. Of course, we have Douglas Fir (considered the best), and various types of pine, considered better than hemlock. I was a range manager, not a forester, so my personal expertise lies elsewhere. Nevertheless, I was told by a lumberman that hemlock is only suitable for non=structural uses such as panelling, or shakes.

[@scottsoper]

I believe that there is a significant difference in the Hemlock out west and the Eastern Hemlock. In any case the Eastern Hemlock that Emerald and Jade are milling is good for a lot of things.

[@garycarraigeacha8794]

Hemlock is more durable than the other pine you mentioned. It's a harder pine. I can't imagine using any pine for shakes because of the knots. Hemlock has a natural resistance to rot and many barns and timber frame homes are built with it. And it will last more than a lifetime.
