As a Brit and English speaking too of course, I picked up on your comments immediately! The girls don’t speak in what may be described in an exaggerated American manner, which can sound a little grating sometimes, ( and I’m not posh!), so my comment is that they speak delightfully clear and concise..a sure sign of both good parenting and importantly, good schooling too...nice to listen to! I like these vids and I hope it helps with your business too!? Waste not want not, is the way forward for us all! Cheers from England here.
This is a great channel. I wish it had been around about 20 years ago when I built my garage out of rough-cut lumber from my own land which I had milled at a local sawmill. They delivered the lumber in October but didn't sticker it. At the time I didn't know enough to insist on it or to do it myself. The next spring when I went to use the lumber it was saturated. Every nail I drove through it brought out a spurt of water. The garage is still standing but the gaps in the siding are far greater than they should be. I've learned a lot since then. Keep up the wonderful content.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the quality of your videos. Certainly you are in a unique position to provide interesting information about an elusive subject. But you present your subject matter in the most articulate way possible. Many other people with similar expertise make videos that should be of vital interest but they fall short due to bad camera angles and having marbles in their mouth. I have the advantage of replay, but sometimes it isn't enough.
I used to work double 9 hour shifts on a 1”x 4” cedar fir and pine dry chain piling boards as fast as a human being can move. I own 40 acres of Forest land in Washington State. When my Mom and Dad and I had the trees thinned the loggers left 4 HUGE piles of top about 30 feet long. I ended cutting splitting and selling it for $160.00 a cord. I easily got many dozens of cords of firewood out of it. You and you family are awesome🤠
I don't remember noticing the mountains before. They may not look special to you, Em, but they are special mountains to people who don't have any. They are an asset to the channel but only if they are included.
The trees behind you on that mountain have rebounded pretty well after the insect attack this spring. You could do hair modeling and make million$. It is incredible.
Excellent conservation and harvesting practice. Here in Southeastern Ohio there is more wood left than removed because of there high-grading practice. Rewarding to see such a complete process of harvesting our forests. All of your group are and surely should be proud. Thanks for being good stewards. 😇
I log birch wood and a few other species on my parents land for firewood, mostly for our own use. We have a chainsaw, a log cutting saw, a log splitter, and a device for filling the finished product into sacks. We save a ton of money being self sufficient when it comes to frewood. It's great to watch your operation, your videos are very informative for a person that know noting about how a lumber yard works. I can relate to the firewood part though. Great videos, keep them coming. Greetings from the arctic part of Northern Norway.
I love the no waist of the tree. You are very articulate with your explanations . it's refreshing that someone isn't talking down to me with the great way to do things. Have you thought of a pelletizer to run some of the sawdust through for another form of fire wood. yo can get the pellets in just about any size you would like. The French braid is a nice touch!!🤩
It’s funny hearing you call them stickers in England we always call them batons they just saw you sound so funny hearing you calling that Enjoy your program Michael
I often thought about all the wedges I cut in order to fell thebtrees. If someone came along behind me as I harvested forest products. I created cord after cord of wedges, all similar all unique. There has to be a marcñket for the wedges cut in order to fell the timber. Some ofnourngood oak shows paid a second crew or us a second shift to process the tops into cut split firewood. A 30" dbh red oak will have a cord in the top.
Wow. It is amazing how many subscribers you have now , in this relative short time. It is also amazing to see how many men are interesting in milling logs. Joke aside , I am impressed with both of you girls. How dedicated and knowledgeable you both are to the family business. God , Family , Business. Quintessential American. Congrats to your parents.
trumpster lets see how a home challenged honorably discharged men and women trying to cope with mental health issues that now called post traumatic stress disease. (pstd). trumpter you never served to make america great. your where there to fame of shame of earning the worst presidential rating. last time i checked a group of reporters currently ranked you as 4th worst american president. but you are out of office and working on the number one worst president that ever existed in the great nation of the united states of america on the continent north america planet earth. yes i am an angry naturalized hard working child of a dutch commando private first class foot soldier who might have spent time in boot camp. and possibly a dutch nato (north atlantic treaty organization established after world war II. my parents were teenagers in the nazi occupied low country the netherlands and experienced hunger and suffering. my dad casually mentioned that the waterschoot family had a meal of stray cat that was butchered and dressed out and cooked like a rabbit an the protein was much appreciated after a thank you prayer to god for food in starvation and troubled times .and much need and much
just an idea (if you are not doing it already of course) those posts that you have peeled, if you keep the bark and let it dry, there is no better firestarter than dried bark. You dont even need to use kindling if you have really dry bark as it burns really hot......so that can be sold as natural kindling/firestarter.
Wood chips is another good way of "taking care of it all". I make around 100 cubic yards a year out of everything crooked, cracked, bent and generally useless for anything else. In my case it is mainly for heating the house but I see on the market here in Sweden that it's popular for covering paths/tracks to even the surface out and keep the weeds at bay. The latter also goes for the vegetable garden &/or around your flowers.
The way you can improve your business is by making pallets from your sawdust and bark since you produce a large amount. I really think you should look into the process.
Along with your other merchandise, maybe you could sell some of the sawdust packaged as air fresheners for cars, kennels, or even in your shoes ? They (air fresheners) also could be packaged up as part of an emergency firestarter kit to be sold with your bundled wood sales. Has anyone explored making charcoal from byproduct wood materials ? You could make a kiln out of a small sea container if bottom is buried to be sealed against ground (wooden floors would ultimately burn away) or invert one of those trash bin/containers and seal up gaps for air control.
Very good video. Very informative. It is very interesting listening to the details of your business! I am going through all your videos now but so far have not seen one on how you make your potting soil and how you plan to market it! I look forward to learning more.
If there is a "Floor Sweep" manufacturer within a reasonable distance try to get a contract to supply their saw dust. If not, start making it yourself. all you need is a tumbling drum, the right type of oil. and saw dust!
Leaving the brush is great for small animals and birds. Waste not, want not! You certainly don't waste anything. You guys think of everything and then take it to another level. Have you made a video of making the posts? Hello, from south jersey. Stay safe , happy and healthy.
You guys have a Wonderful business model going on!!!! Is it just me (the video maybe) or is the mountain, greening up since the bug critters ate all the leaves???
While not in this video, you have shown milling basswood for the a business that I assume is using it for ax targets. Basswood is highly desirably by bird carvers. You can check Amazon to see the dimensions and prices and will be surprise. You might be able to wholesale blocks to retailers who sell to carvers. There is a constant demand for stakes, lath and hubs by land surveyors and others. Call a around and see it you get into that niche market. And finally, Boss Lady responded to a comment to a prior video that you are considering a chipper. Here in the West wood chips are used extensively for mulch.
What is so unique, (to me), about your operation is that you aren't really just a log yard. You're so much more! I'm not sure if you're logging your own land but you are loggers, a mill, and a lumber yard... not to mention a delivery system! That's pretty cool. Next up, create your own power with wood waste!
@@KenBreon How would you make power out of burning your waste ? Steam ? Emerald talked about future plans to put a solar system in but with all the buildings it would take a big array and battery bank ! Your on a fairly busy road that I assume has Electric Utility Lines ? Why not hook up ?! Solar panels will need cleaning constantly of dust and snow ! I'm sure they don't have 3 phase but could possibly gradually switch over to 230v instead of gasoline ? Just my 2 cents worth ? Hope everyone had a great Independence Day ! ✌️💙🎵 From STL MO
Have you thought about natural charcoal? Take everything from the tree that you leave on the land and pack it in a high ground pit . Cover the pit with clay . Dig a chimney on the side of the pit and poke vent holes in the clay . Build a good fire in the chimney and let it cook. I'm sure you have a Bob cat and a back hoe . This can make as much as the footboard per tree.
that was a nice look behind the sawmill setup an yard,, maybe you girls need to add a drone to your xmas list this year, the mountain views from the yard is awesome with traffic going by,, i,m sure the jolly ole guy would come thru,,or maybe a friend has one that can do a complete fly over view, just a thought,, cheers ladies always entertaining
All this talk about sawdust and you having some in you're coffee reminded me of an old comedy type show ( way before your time Emerald ) called Threes Company and the male room mate Jack Tripper who was a chef and made a birthday cake out of sawdust because he was trying to get back at someone as he thought he was going to get kicked out of the apartment, one had to watch it in the moment to appreciate the goofy humour. When someone asked what type of cake that was, he said "Oh Its a lumberjack special". Emerald, your good at cooking/baking, you may have to whip up a sawdust cake sometime LOL.
It's nice to listen someone that pronounces every consonant and vowel, and when that person is pleasant to look it's an added bonus.
She’s 17, dude.

I think it is awesome that your operation strives for zero waste. Use as much of the tree as you can
Thank you beautiful Lady 👍😘❤🌹
Sawdust is an excellent mulch for blueberry bushes.

"Like and sip coffee" 100% agree! Coffee is a must.

it's refreshing that waste is a concern for your company, love the videos and the info !
Those mountains are beautiful behind you.

So glad I found this channel by sheer accident 👌🏻💯

I love how you say "yard" with your upstate PA accent.
Very educational and informative as always. Good job!

I was thinking exactly what you were explaining about the tree tops in the woods. I’m glad it worked out so well for you guys.

Great video 👍 we have timber in SC most of it is used for pulp wood, the limbs and other stuff left from the cutting is turned into bio mass
Fascinating video,your family has a fantastic business concept.Looking forward to tomorrows edition.Stay safe and healthy 👍🏴🇬🇧
Perfect. Love how you teach along the way.Keep it up..
Great video on using every you can from the trees. Great creative thinking.
Very good video. Very informative. It is very interesting listening to the details of your business! I am going through all your videos now but so far have not seen one on how you make your potting soil and how you plan to market it! I look forward to learning more.
As the summer wears on you, Sami and Jade remind me more and more of the Stranglers song, Golden Brown.

If there is a "Floor Sweep" manufacturer within a reasonable distance try to get a contract to supply their saw dust. If not, start making it yourself. all you need is a tumbling drum, the right type of oil. and saw dust!
There is no such thing as scrap wood. There is only wood that hasn’t been used yet.

Sounds like an efficient operation.
You can check if briquette from sawdust is profitable for you, and you can invest sawdust press machine.
Possibly an idea but with those off-cuts from the edger you could make pen blanks...

Sawdust to wood pellets
Keep up the good work!
bringing that wood in also reduces the fuel supply for forest fires...
ps sawdust in your coffee is extra protein, or fiber, or both not sure which
Wood chips are also popular as ground cover, less chance of weeds and looks beautiful, in the Netherlands you pay around 100 euros per m3
Thank you your videos are very informative

Getting used to the sawdust in my coffee.
Jeez, I wish I lived closer to your lumber yard. I could use some of your lumber products and by-products.
you are stunning love the voice accent and her red hair is just awesome
Sorry to be ignorant but what is a "sticker"? Are they the boards used as spacers between layers for the lumber to dry?
+Dave Larsen Correct!
Another awesome job by you and your sister in the background.🤙
