ABBY BROKE THE SAWMILL 😬 // Sawing with a Woodmizer LT-40

Today my daughter Abby came over to help in the sawmill. We had a little issue when Abby broke the sawmill, but we were able to get it fixed and get some work done! We are sawing with a woodmizer LT-40 sawmill.

Hi. I'm from the UK and have been a subscriber for some time. I worked on farms all my life and loved it. I started driving tractors in 1952/3 aged 7 and still do at times today aged 77. The tractors are much bigger and cleverer now. I just missed out on horses on the farm but enjoyed listening to my Dad and his friends talk about them. I enjoy your videos, keep them coming, Pleased Jim is recovering, God bless you all

Hi there Abby, Trudy, Brenda and Jim. I'm just happy to watch your videos my dad who would have been 95 this year worked shires during the 2nd World War. Because of this I like to watch horses being worked, dad tod me that his two had to pull a tractor out of the river Browney one off the tributaries of the river Wear (weir) close to the confluence. It had gone in during the flooding and couldn't be recovered for about two weeks and was stuck in feet of mud. I am from the North East of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Hi Abby, I am here in Queensland Australia and we measure our timber (lumber) by the longest side first. So instead of saying 2 X 4, we say 4 X 2. Anyway so glad you are able to come and help Dad when he needs it. You are very beautiful and always glad to see your lovely face when you come to the farm. Have a great day, James.

[@martingardener90]

Yes, same in the UK.

[@cindymccafferty8346]

Greetings from Green Bay Wisconsin, Mr Rodgers’ Neighborhood. My Grandpa had a small sawmill in the 1960s. His blade was a wheel with teeth. No guard! Cut at your own risk. The sawdust was rough but we cousins liked to play in the piles like a sandbox. Our moms would get so mad at us and make us hose down before we went in Grandma’s house. Fond memories!

[@dandudley1128]

I am watching from central Ohio and I have been watching for 2 years. Thanks so much for being us the work and pleasure you have with your horses.

[@j.b.6577]

I'm Jonathan from South Carolina. My dad had an old circular sawmill from the 1920's (lots of belts and pulley's) that I grew up helping him run and my mom used to drive the tractor with a front end loader to load the logs on the deck. Lots of work... Love the videos, thanks for sharing!

Spending time watching the videos you folks post brings back memories of my youth being on the farm with my grandfather. He worked a team of mules and I miss the times we shared. I'm blessed to now own and live on one of the farms here in Kentucky.

[@martyweatherup6474]

Abby asked in this video for folks to say where they are from. I am in Wasilla, Alaska. We found your videos recently and have thoroughly enjoyed them. You had me at Northern New York. I grew up in the North Country, outside DeKalb Junction. We farmed on the Old DeKalb Road. I own and run a small sawmill business here in Alaska with a Woodmizer LT15. I retired two years ago and turned my hobby sawing into a small business. We truly enjoy your videos.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Very interesting. We visited Alaska once. There is some very nice timber up there to saw! Thanks for watching

[@martyweatherup6474]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Southeast Alaska has some good timber, really big stuff. Our area is limited to spruce, birch and cottonwood. Not bad for size but nothing like southeast Alaska.

[@Autigers2013]

I like how calm Jim is with his kids. If I had done something like that, my parents would have always have told me how stupid and bad I was!

I am watching your videos from Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada. Love to see you as a family doing things together. I had horses when I was younger. I had a Morgan that stood 15 1/2 hands high. She gave me two fouls. One was pitch black. Not a white spot on it. Beautiful gelding. Watching your videos brings back good memories.

Hi Abby Jim and Brenda, I was born in Portsmouth England and now i live in Ontario Canada i have actually been living in Canada for longer than i was living in England now which is strange. When i visit with family and see all my friends in England i sound Canadian and with living in Canada i sound English, which again is strange. I love watching Jim working with horses, horses are my passion and i just love them all. We are moving hopefully in the spring 2023 so i hope to have some land where i can work with horses also so i am taking notes and taking in all of Jim and Brenda's great advice. I have to say it warms my heart to know you are there when your mum and dad need you and you come in all seasons to help. I don't think there is many out there that can say the same thing about their kids helping out. Make sure you are firm with your Dad, they think they are invincible, but they don't heal as fast as they used to.

[@jimputnam2044]

Love the sawmill vids. Nice set up Jim. Abby was looking a bit tired at the end, hard work with heavy green lumber. I remember helping my dad when I was young. He had a small mill with a rotary blade and the carriage moved back and forth. From Nova Scotia Canada, we went metric in the 80's but lumber is still standard old board feet and in inches.

[@blakemunn5953]

Boiestown New Brunswick Canada. I been around a sawmill some when a friend brought his to my place two different times, worked in the woods with single horse for a number of years, we put logs up in what we called yards that were four to five tier high and had 80-120 logs in them depending on size. I sat on a mower like yours while grandfather pulled me around the hayfield with the tractor mowing hay, he always put his hay in loose as he only had five cows. So I have a lot of memories while watching you work. I really enjoy all of your videos.

[@matthewnasci2646]

This comment comes to you from upstate ny (oneida county). I know it's hard for a working man to be down and recovering so it's good you have help. I've never ran a sawmill before. It looks like fun. When I watch I try to imagine the pleasant aroma of fresh dawn lumber.

You are doing great there Abby. I really enjoy watching your family’s efforts. Watching from Sunshine Coast, Queensland in Australia, I enjoy the contrast in seasons compared to ours. We have basically two seasons, winter (dry) and summer (wet and humid). I hope you realise the advantage you have in your country style “alternative” lifestyle, but it will stand you in good stead later in life. A better way to grow up and mature earlier. 👍😁🏆

Hello, from England. Love watching your dad's videos, Abby. Love the way you explained the lumber.. I think it's pretty much the same all over the world, just perhaps different measurements for some countries, like metric.. Good to watch you all work together and to see young people interested in such processes. Jim was still smiling when Abby did a booboo.. and took it in his stride.. Lovely

Hello! Thanks for watching!

[@printaboul]

Speaking of hasty moves: Remember the video of your grand-daughters doing I don't recall which chores in the barn. It struk me how one was paced like Jim, and how the other was rushing all her moves. It struck me because I'm like this, I want to finish before I start, I had to learn to take the time that is required. I can't wait to take the next step, and too often. I don't apply myself enough to the step I'm doing at the moment. I smile often at how Jim calmly, pacefully do what he has to do, I like when he says "... I'm thankfull.." Instead of " ... darn thing.." I'm so afraid to be late ... When I'll be on my deathbed, I don't think that i'll say "...Jeez, I should have been more often at the office.." " I should have saw more wood with less blade .." Only me can find if there's a God. Printaboul = Gaetan Dupont
