Why Lumber Stores Fear This Man

[@TheNetsrac]

Great video, as usual, thank you Cody. I'm an Atheist, but watching your recent video made me seek professional help with my drinking problem... I should have done so years ago, but your video gave my the nudge I needed. Thank you so much and best wishes to you and yours ^^

[@SeanBlader]

The worst solution to a drinking problem is having a family member die from alcoholism, don't ask me how I know, but you can ask me how long since I've had a drink.

[@roycolglazier1061]

Booze shortened Dad’s life, condiderably, from a typucal mid-90s to 77! Good on ya!

[@stevereilley]

I'm glad to hear you're making a positive change in your life. It's a tough road coming back from an alcohol addiction, but YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Best wishes and stay strong, brother!!!

I am so proud to call you my neighbor in this wonderful state we call home! What you are doing is such a blessing for so many folks who rely on fire wood to get them through the Winter. For what you do, may God Bless you ten fold!🙏❤️

[@tonyn3123]

I am certainly not a sawyer. However, a couple things I read recently in a respected woodworking magazine. 1. Sticker your freshly cut lumber only with kiln dried stickers. This helps prevent mold from forming at the contact points with both being green. 2. Sticker over your supports. Any swag in the lumber overhanging the supports or sag between supports will be transmitted up through the stack and it may dry that way. Maybe a better way or saying it is, keep entire lumber stack level and stickered over the supports. You have a beautiful place to work. A cool dip in the river while working on a hot summer day would be nice too.

[@mattshaffer5935]

Recovering catholic here but I must say there’s some good words in that good book. Really enjoying the milling project! Crack on and cut a 20”!!!

Cody... best line ever!! “Looks so easy on KZbin!”. Was that line scripted? Genius regardless.

[@reidhamar2930]

"Raise it up" and "Lower it down" ... would love to see a man who can raise something down or lower something up. Just a pet peeve passed down from my old man's old man. Nice work, Cody!

You can always "Raze It Down"!!!😆🤣😂

[@dustdevl1043]

You gotta know where to stop at!

[@reidhamar2930]

@@bushratbeachbum to raise something means that it’s going up, and lower already means it’s going down. Just redundant to say “raise up” or “lower down”.

[@wobblysauce]

Raise as in to move.

My uncle owned a sawmill in Londonderry, NH. Watching your videos brings back the smell of that cut White Pine, and the literal mountain of sawdust that they produced. Mahalo!

HELLO from las Vegas Nevada, I love the idea of milling you own lumber, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I was yell'n at ya to make that second cut but you didn't hear me. Very satisfying, soothing video none-the-less. Can't wait to see what's in that other log. Thanks Cody.

Love the way your mill cuts lumber! Freaking Awesome Cody dude!

[@heyyoubuddy6749]

Hi Cody I’m sure glad to see you using the Lucas again. Thank you for showing double cutting, and how to find you index when lost, I love using power tools and making things I need for what I have on my property. GOD bless you and yours Brother.

[@jamesshupe1248]

Nothin better than fresh milled wood. Smell, Look, And Quality. You do great work. God Bless the guy that quit drinking. Love to All of You!

[@jacobplank]

Love this, one of my dreams is having a portable sawmill and cut my own lumber. Nothing better than being outdoors and cutting wood by yourself! Thanks for sharing with us and you do great work! I'm a lot like you, everything's gotta be perfect or almost. Keep up the good work!! God bless!

[@Ninoy2059]

It is always fun watch you man. God bless you and your family

Enjoy all your vids!! Thank you for sharing you knowledge. Always looking forward to the next!

[@MJPeddler]

12:40 "Taking pride in your work, even in the seemingly meaningless." I made the conscious decision in December of 2019 to keep my tools clean and my tool box organized. It adds a little extra time in putting away, but makes-up for by having tools ready and easy to find when needed. Also, since I have minimal shop space, staying organized in important.

[@marcusjay8103]

Also, once you do the original clean up/tidy, it makes maintaining that standard super easy. While the original task may take you a few hours/days to get complete, taking care of it and keeping it that way is literally a couple minutes/hour (depending on what it is) out of your day. I find once something is how you want it to be it kind of adds to the motivation of keeping it up, goes for anything in life really. Real world items, health, fitness, finances etc. Although it may appear overwhelming to begin with, no better time to start than now and as you get on top of the 'issue' it's so rewarding seeing your effort pay off and creates a routine you can follow as often as needs doing to keep the 'thing/stuff' as you want it. Gives a great sense of pride in what you are doing too 👌

[@vamp9190]

Tell me, why am I fascinated with this? I can watch WS cut lumber for hours! Great video and can't wait for the upcoming series. Oh and beautiful property BTW! We just bought a place close to the Potomac River in Virginia (house and 0.6-acre yard) and while it's not huge & the wilderness like there it's more than I've ever had before so really looking forward to some cool mini "homesteading" projects. Keep up the amazing work! Praying for both our families as well.

[@PatNetherlander]

Great one again Cody! I think the lumber stores can rest assured lol. But this 'trick' is worth a lot more to us homesteaders just because we can mill large pieces now! I like it very much!

[@699hazard]

Great video Cody! It's good to see that you are learning something from us Aussie's! God bless you and your family

[@HAXMAN]

I have such a terrible memory, after you said remember 150 I kept repeating it my head to remember out of habit. 😂

[@webb-cast1030]

Greetings from the North Coast, Michigan's UP. An idea to make your milling more efficient. Make a tablesaw jig to cut shims for keeping your kerf open. Something like a 12" long shim tapering from 3/8" to 1/8", or whatever dimension you want. Just cut a birdsmouth in a 16" 2x4 the dimension of the shim. Sandwich a 16" 2x6 on top, overlapping the birdsmouth edge, and secure with screws. Make a handle to push the jig, think hand plane handle. Grab some scrap 2x4 pieces and cut to length on your miter saw. Set your rip fence 1/32" wider than the bottom 2x4, and set your blade depth about 3/16" deeper than the bottom 2x4. The 2x6 will hold shim stock down and use your push stick to hold it against the birdsmouth. Flip the shim stock around after every cut. You can make a 5 gal pail of shims in about 10 minutes. I'd wager that if you had a bucket of shims in a handy location that you'd be reaching into it all the time. Thanks for all the great content!

[@LeoDodier]

Good job Cody, bless you and your family as well.

[@SYNERSTAR]

... I millwright in a mill where the company doesn't seem to care to much about waste, and I am able to harvest mis-scanned sideboards, 16'4'' by 18'', spruce, fir, pine.. but, there is something to be said and felt about making your own dimensional lumber... love the work, especially in this day and age

Thats pretty rear end retentive. Lol. A 20" board, I would love to see that just so I could say I know a guy that can do it. Sure is some beautiful fir your cutting.

[@andrecharlebois705]

I would be concerned about distance from the creek. Contamination is possible from a fuel \ oil spill, or from rainwater leaching hydrocarbon out of the sawdust. Would be a good idea to collect up that dust on a regular basis. This is why we don't float huge numbers of logs downriver anymore.

[@dougberry6886]

Each to his own I guess. But sure does seem like a lot to do for one board. Where a Wood Mizer or any bandsaw would've just made one cut & been done.

[@gary_glover]

If you dont want live edge wouldn't it still take 3 cuts. One for each side to get rid of the bark edge and then a final one for the 12" side...? To get rid of the live edge wouldn't you have to rotate the log on to its side, cut, and then rotate it on to the other side and cut, b4 taking the full 12" slab cut...? Im only a professional youtube watcher with zero real experience so i could be totally wrong.

[@dougberry6886]

@@gary_glover you'll still have to clean up your edge. Point is you can cut something like a 20 inch cut in one pass with out dismantling the saw to make a wide cut. Just watch a Woodmizer video & you'll see the diff.

[@mkbman45]

I watch the Oregon Old Timer videos about his sawmill and saw your videos.

[@bobbankus5316]

Cody you may have done it already but you will want to get a sticker as close to each end as possible. Typically the wood will check from the end up to the first sticker as it dries.

[@mannebk9978]

So who else thought the same? When I did read that title, I was kind of expecting something. What I got is ROFL. I guess every single lumber store owner will do the same. That board is so expensive, you could go from Alaska shopping in Florida and back and would probably safe some money compared to this. Nice video, but there are so many things done wrong here, Im at a loose where to start. So PPE for starters, working on grass with no lining up, I could go on and on. The only real justification for doing such silli things could be, because the guy has obviously losts of fun doing it. And from that (and only that) standpoint it does make sense, but doing it for the fun of it, wont scare the s word out of any lumber stors at all. So what ever, it looked like you had lots of fun, and you made my day. Thanks for the vid, please chose more sensible titles, I know you'd probably make less on KZbin, but still, also think about the life-time you waste on your viewers side.
