Thanks Monica, the wind was blowing the smoke away ♥

I always get complacent with the small trees thinking "ah, what does it matter?" 😆🤣😆

Thanks for sharing that. In fact this is the intended building technique for the meditation huts (Japanese style). But I decided to sink the front posts on the Sawmill shed. As it is an open shed there is the danger that a strong wind could lift the roof so I decided to anchor it in the ground.

I have to say I enjoy it as well! ♥

I have to say although at first I hesitated to make the extra expense to get the LT15 it is absolutely worth it and the right choice for an entry level mill.

Yeah my dad is Korean but mom is French Canadian. I am a typical Canadian, although when I was young mixed race marriages were rare

Thank you friend! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Stephan your support in growing the channel is appreciated!

As you know I love the Chainsaw mill Jack , but this baby is a whole lot easier on the old bones! 😆🤣😆

😂 Yeah, I'm a cave sort of guy myself. Or a tent! 🐕‍🦺🙏🐕‍🦺

@@AzmialPrime me too!

Yeah, if I was doing it for myself it wouldn't make any sense. In fact I would probably just buy a boat and live on that

@@TheChainsawLama what about a retreat center where you hand 'em a shovel and mala and tell them to either find or make their own cave? Dinner is in the main building at 6. That will be 2000 dollars please. Have a great retreat! 🤣

@@AzmialPrime dharma shovel

They come with wheels (as an option) and can be towed behind a car

@@TheChainsawLama you can put wheels on everything, dear lama! :)

😆🤣😆 Yeah I was really kicking myself when I did that, then I realised there was nothing i could do about it! 😆🤣😆

Thanks Bill. TBH I am a bit of a newbie!

Thanks Jammin' Although I will do some green timbre building how long do you think I need to season the wood for? I am going to need a lot of it soon

There are lots of rocks and roots, an auger isn't much used unless I get a power auger, and that is too expensive. But thanks for your concern!

Yes it is slap stick! 😆🤣😆

@@TheChainsawLama I do love the slap stick!!! Classic!

And you deserve to be proud JAmes. I think Gin pole is an American name. I always called them a lifting Aframe.

😆🤣😆

😆🤣😆 I had to look for something with monk colours! 😆🤣😆

Mine had stripes (orange)

@@donaldwasden8657 Was that an actual prison suit?

Thanks for you subscription Steve, we will get there slowly!

Thanks JOhn I will look into it😃

@@TheChainsawLama I use to use them when I use to install t.v. towers many many moons ago it was handy to use but also when ur the only person up 60 ft in the air it was interesting to say the least moving it from section to section lol, I worst part of using it was who ever was on the ground pulling on the rope or cable and the section of tower getting hung up lol talk about failure to communicate 🤣🤣 but satellite dishes, cell phones sorta killed that business, not many people have anything to do with towers and the tools used, to bad can not add photos to messages cause I could pics of the ginpole I use to use, best thing of that job was the scenery !

Thanks for that!

Mañjuśrī (मञ्जुश्री, 文殊) is a bodhisattva associated with prajñā (wisdom) in Mahāyāna Buddhism. His name means "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit.

Thanks for sharing John. Funny all the little monks in the monastery chant this fervently every morning as they go to class! 😆🤣😆

@@John.W81 The guys with chainsaw fetishes will be wondering what on earth you are talking about 😆🤣😆

Hi John where are you based BTW?

@@ultimatemeaning I live in Virginia. In the United States, but I would love to volunteer. You’d have to teach me quite a few things so I don’t know if he’ll be worth your time or not but in exchange you could teach me about Buddhism.

😆🤣😆

@@ultimatemeaning 😄🤗🙏

Thanks Jack I milled my first log 17' x 16" and the whole setup was very stable and solid. I imagine that there will be some subsidence though so I will have to adjust the feet from time to time. Will post a video of my first time milling with the LT15

Yeah! It is a beast!

Yeah I always used to call it a lifting frame but apparently a single pole, an A-frame, and a tripod rigged in this way is a Gin pole. Many videos on line. And it works great BTW

Thanks friend 👍

Kinda cheery

Still learning Gunk!

Yes thanks for the tip, you might notice that I flipped it around in subsequent videos- It must have dropped out when I was changing the height and then I put it back in backwards! oops! 😆🤣😆

❤ not confident enough with my plunge cuts yet (beginner) and the 16 footers are too awkward to get on the DeWalt. But the joint was tight in the end so I am pretty happy with the outcome. ❤

​​@@ultimatemeaning Knocking about until you get what you want with the the tools you have is an old way of working . I thought it looked sturdy enough in the end . If backwater craftsmen in Pakistan or the Philippines can take a file and crank out high quality copies of many f🔥rearms of the world ... I don't see why your method would not be just fine for the project you did ... 👍

😆🤣😆 Works a treat mate! Over engineered for the job. I will post a full video of the sawmill unpacking and assembly with lifting gear 😆🤣😆

@@ultimatemeaning that would be good to see!

Yeah thanks for that my plan was to make an Appalachian log sled and avoid buying a plastic cone, but maybe I will compromise in the end.

like incense!

They will make really nice offering shrines for the meditation huts and the temple, and they smell good too! just drying in the workshop right now🙏🙏🙏 These boards go around the roof of the Temple

hope this helps!

You're welcome Erik

Sorry for that. What is Aloe Mineeum?

@@ultimatemeaning Thats what I was wondering lol😂

@@TC72280808 Must be the auto generated captions I guess. I will look into it 😆🤣😆

Thanks for the advice Rooster. I took way too much off the first chain, but it was my first time ever. I think it is only the ripping chain that needs to be balanced and for the skip tooth won't make any difference. I tried something else on the other ripping chain. There was one bad tooth that I had to grind it hard, but instead of grinding all the other teeth the same I did only one on the other side of the chain to make a pair of short teeth(right, left). It seems to be balanced. I definitely want to move to CBN but I can't justify the cost until I have worn out these wheels first.

Do my best friend

My pleasure friend

Yeah really worth it EJ

A Cedar wagon would be nice! Cedar is strong and light (but not as light as ABS) I know a Cedar dog house! do pooches like the smell of Cedar I wonder? 🤔

@@ultimatemeaning Yes, dogs generally love the smell of most fragrant evergreens. The tough part at the very first, when dealing with a structure made of all fresh evergreen, is their desire to pee on it. After all, a house made of trees, sort of pee heaven for them. But my bois are quick on the uptake, one mistake, one missing dinner, and it's all "oh these trees are different, alrighty then!". Current wagon is solid welded steel, virtually ANY material would be lighter! The bois say hey, we all offer a blessing - and new content out tomorrow afternoon. P.S. Can't wait for the stream! 🐕‍🦺🙏🐕‍🦺

@@AzmialPrime See you tomorrow friend!

That's the spirit Jack! Once you get the hang of it it is really straight forward! Watch the little yellow knob on the left. It locks the head in the upright position.

Funny think is I said it because I nearly installed it upside down! 😆🤣😆
