I feel so special right now... mr Wrangler west coast guy just gave MN dudes a shout out!!! 😘

[@jamirus.collinscollins2824]

I go to college in mn😃🤗

[@sickjohnson]

Went to spring break in mexico and met a few thousand of you freaking awesome party animals and had the best time! Thanks for being so cool from Canada eh.

[@johnzempel4035]

Woohoo! Minnesota!

[@peterhalter419]

I've been waiting to get West Coast status. Now I can make fun of those East Coast guys with a clear conscience. Go MN!

[@lovesmykitties9672]

Only bad mn dood is one paid by orso to destroy others stuff. Most out of staters then.

[@DH-ry2ho]

This is vintage WS! So great to see the sun shining, river running, and the mill in operation!

[@metals_etched]

Despite the issues you’ve been having, that Lucas sawmill is impressive.

[@AdministrativeReload]

I would be really tempted to just pull that silly engine and put a harbor freight one on. At least those tend to run reliably...

[@lockcurrie4371]

I have the exact same mill in Australia once you get about 150 hours on the clock the motor should settle in and have no more problems as long as do your daily and monthly check.lucas mill also have some of the best customer serves I have ever experienced.

[@marcplaisted460]

HONORED to have west coast status! Haha! Life is well in Duluth, MN today! 😀

[@streakofluck]

That should weigh about 307lbs. That fir weighs 31lbs/cu ft. And you have about 9.907 cu feet.

[@clubasquirrel496]

Cool to see another Duluthian in the comments! Best city around! Love our state 💙

[@3rdmorton]

@@streakofluck I get the same answer. Cheers!

[@erikalmighty]

Ditto from Duluth

[@gabedodson6378]

Quite a few Duluthians here! Howdy neighbors 👋

[@GodforsakenCustoms]

Always that fine line of how much to take off before you're wasting it! Sure a lot nice than the logs we get up here in the Chilcotin. Awesome video Cody

[@AndyFromm]

Greetings from Minnesota friend. I have lost just over 30lbs since October 2020 by cutting carbs alone, basically what you said sugar & flower (grain). Since January I haven't really lost much due to being home more & slacking on the diet some. I am still working on it and plan to loose more. Take care!

[@anthonymartin9672]

For the last few years I've been looking at band saw mills. When I first saw your mill with the round blade didn't see the merit. However, you have convinced me otherwise. Not having to roll the work over to make cuts is really handy. I would dare say safer as well. Your mill does some nice work. I look forward to owning a mill of my own some day. Thanks for sharing.

[@jasone9]

If you can get the engine to not start again, try loosening the fuel tank cap and try starting then.

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

I was thinking vapor lock

[@tbirdsteve1]

Another great, interesting video. That mill is fantastic and it's great to watch it work.

[@jonathankretman5887]

Cody, we appreciate the West Coast status. You are a good man. Live a winter with us in Minnesota and earn “of the North” status.

[@Boomhauer69]

If I had that setup and the knowledge. I make nice kitchen table and chair set. Glad I found this channel definitely fun to watch.

[@matthewreagan4937]

We've all put on weigh from COVID, Cody. Once spring and summer come around, just your increased activity level will have you shed that weight pretty quickly. Keep up the good work, Cody! Also, great job on getting that hateful motor running! Cheers, from Canada!

[@anthonyhopkin]

350 lbs is my guess - depending on medium moisture content... Great videos about this mill - have to watch every one. Thanks Cody. Greetings to one and All.

[@mvblitzyo]

I had as much fun watching as you did working.

[@ajpain6673]

Nice outdoor tabletop under that benchtop aswell!! Great video

[@livingthefrenchdream7966]

Hello Cody Just ordered the The lumberjack tools $2000 worth to be posted to France looking forward to playing with it all . Will order the Makita drill once the The Lumberjack tools arrive . Thanks for the great video content keep up the great work it helps to keep the cold out here .

Much love from Vermont!!! Love your positive outlook on life and your content!

[@CSM_Tank]

I live in northern MN and a few weeks ago it was -42 here at the house and today 42f. I am guessing your version of MN cold is closer to the 42f side of the house.😂

[@nickabbott6278]

LOL, if it's -42, that's about the only temp you don't need to put in a C or an F. :-)

[@dejavu666wampas9]

Minus 40 is where they meet. Cold on either scale. We went out and threw boiling water in the air, it turned to steam immediately. Great video stuff.

[@diyjeff1838]

Really interesting on how this turns out. I love heavy duty!!

[@tonyn3123]

Looking at that monstrous slab, and knowing you are planning on using it outdoors, my recommendation would be to use 3 legs of 4" pipe with a 10" plate bolted to the bottom side of the bench and the plate welded to the top of the pipe. Then concrete the pipes/legs into the ground a little beyond your frost line. The trick will be getting all three plates leveled to accept the slab before pouring concrete. It might be easier to completely assemble the slab and suspend the entire bench into drilled holes prior to pouring concrete. It'll take good rigging regardless of how you decide to do it.

[@cmoore7780]

So glad I joined you channel! You have helped me more than you know my friend *your*

[@aaronjackson7657]

I love these videos you of milling Lumber I looks like so much fun. I can’t wait to have my own sometime but right now I’m saving for a chainsaw mill to get me started on smaller logs !

[@dejavu666wampas9]

It’s cool how you can cut horizontally and vertically at the same time, but a Woodmizer and table saw would be less complex? It don’t own a wood mill, so I don’t know. But in my defense, I am born and raised Minnesotan. ‘Minnesota Nice’ is a thing we are rather proud of. Thanks for the compliment.

[@maryseiler5788]

Soooo BEAUTIFUL!

[@pealerjoe]

Wooo, just got West Coast status! Thanks, Cody. Blessings from MN!

[@elmerfudpucker3204]

Even with the stubborn powertrain, that is one impressive mill right there. When you get it right, and I know you will, that thing will chew through the projects you have on tap for it.

[@wesleemiller]

Great video.

[@JChamberlin]

I'm glad to see the mill up and running again. It's got a lot of work ahead this year.

[@thegoldensteed]

Glad to see the West coasters are have fun, it's maple syrup season on the east coast right about now.

Oh man. So excited for this series. Glad to see the mill is running again. Hope the problems are over. Cheers

[@neildriedger637]

AWESOME wood cutting Cody!!!!

[@westtex3675]

I never heard of an outdoor workbench (we would just use sawhorses or a picnic table). Will you need some type of sealer to protect against water or sun damage? I know in the southwest, the elements used to eat up our wood picnic tables. I really enjoyed learning about how a milling machine works, so thanks for this series. That's a pretty bench and I'm glad you were able to get down to a surface without many knots. my uneducated guess is 500 lbs.

[@tomray4139]

257 LB. Being a Minnesota West Coast wanna-be, I enjoy your videos.

[@Pyrolonn]

I'm getting 327 lbs

[@TheBigMamao]

[@daskes123]

Thank you for the nice and not clickbaity title.

[@indiansprings2124]

I’ve only used the same exact saw for about 6 months. If you READ and WATCH the manuals it plainly states make horizontal cuts on the push and vertical cuts on the pull. Personally I wish it was the opposite in order to get cut lumber off the log faster when working by yourself

[@morrow.m]

That is one impressive timber!!!

I gueesed a boatload.

[@russellswanson117]

My SWAG (Scientific Wild A** Guess) at that weight is 425lbs, Cody. Go with a 4 leg Roubu style bench design. You can get a wood screw for the face vise. Use a pegged, removable metal screw set for the end vise that you can haul out to the site when needed.

[@michaelmotz8662]

My estimate is 325 lbs. That's a nice piece of wood even with a shake in the end.

[@matttoman1008]

Density of wood does vary slightly, but according to the internet, the density of Douglas Fir is 33 lbs per cubic foot. Multiply that by the volume: (0.83 ft. x 1.33 ft. x 8.92 ft)(33 lbs/ft^3), and we get that the timber should weigh approximately 325 pounds.
