The Sawmill was 13.5k with the trailer package. Without the trailer it would be 10.5 to 10.8k as it sits. This mill has 17 feet 8 inches of bed rails to cut on. The shorter version is a bit cheaper. Without a doubt I buy Wood-Mizer again. Made in the USA and I have local dealer within 1.5 hrs of me.

Smells phenomenal!

It surely is. Thanks for watching.

Originally was going to use the beam as one of the legs on a workbench. Once we got into the wood it was pretty clear the wood was basically firewood.

It was terribly dry rotted. To make it worse, we paid $80 for that beam from a "reputable" store.

@@MrJoRobb sorry to hear that it does happen

Noted and thank you for commenting. We are always open to comments, questions, and suggestions!

Thank you for the question! I did that to pop the grain so you guys can see it a bit better.

@@MrJoRobb That’s what I thought but wasn’t certain. How long do you have to dry those before you can use them? Lot of questions my bad lol

@derwoodsdiy7710 We have a kiln with air flow, so anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on how dry the wood is when we cut it. Questions don't bother me at all. Ask all you would like!

@@MrJoRobb I appreciate it. I’m a woodworker but the price of wood is completely unaffordable so I’ve thought about slabbing my own. Maybe just a small, diy saw mill. I know very little about the milling side of wood production. It’s very cool to watch it.

@derwoodsdiy7710 That is why we got into sawmilling. My brother and I also do woodworking. We make cutting boards, challenge coin holders and name signs. Once we have enough of the Oak we have been milling over the last 3 months dries we are gonna build farmhouse tables and benches. We have an Etsy link on my channel by the way.

Thank you!

Thank you! I may take this and speed it up a bit as well.

Great question! It only took about 25 minutes in real-time to cut this log up.

It has been awesome so far! Thanks for watching.

To get a level cut to square everything else off of.

The blue stain on the end of the log tells you there is steel in the log. The metal detector only tells you when you will hit it, not how to miss it.

Great info, gentlemen! We are still pretty new at this. Any help is welcome.

Normally, we would, but we had suspicion we would hit more, and we did.

Thank you!

Agreed

Had no choice. We got it done. Still got some ok wood out of it.

Thanks

It is Water Oak.

@@MrJoRobb Thank you

@@Jona_Villa No problem

Agreed!

First burl! We are excited!

Thank you

Thanks 😊

Personally I like Red Oak better than Cedar. It is more robust to build with and I love the grain in it.

🤣 Right! It is pretty wet.

Wow, thanks!

Thank you!

Same camera just got better lighting. We do have some better cameras as well. It's just been slow on content. Had to move the sawmill due to 13+ inches of rain on the property.

Good morning to you. Do you have a question?

I think so too! Some of the most beautiful Boards we have had on the sawmill.

Yes it is!!

Thank you! 😊

We have loads of both available, but Cedar is almost a nuisance wood in our area of Texas. Folks don't want them in their yard. That is how we get the Cedar for the videos we have done so far.

@@MrJoRobb Aw yes! We had a guy ask today if we’d cut some cedar for him. We had quite a number of trees down in our area from the recent storm (tornadoes and straight line winds). It may have gotten knocked down in his yard.

Lots of factors at play but I am gonna guess a few weeks in a kiln drying scenario.
