I want to thank you for letting the old guys be a part of your video. I have years of knowledge in lumber milling and i believe you will have much more fun than i have had.One tip if you dont mind is to find out about over run. Stay safe on your journey .
Ash is one of my favourite light coloured woods and those boards are the best, no knots no inclusions, I look forward to seeing what those boards end up becoming
We have my great grandfather's kitchen table made from Ash. It's at the summer cottage. I love ash. I've got an ash that the ash borers pretty much killed. The tree company ( I know the owner) is going to take down the tree. He laughed when I told him to leave the trunk for milling. He said no one wants ash. I told him I do, it's a beautiful wood. It's a little bigger than what you were milling.
A year or so ago I started watching these sawmill vid’s late at night trying to get to sleep. It was kind of a ‘sawing logs’ joke to myself. I kind of figured out how the Wood-Mizer worked. But this was the first operator-view that I’ve seen that showed the cut-set and the hand-crank traverse. The ‘dog’ invention is brilliant. I want to buy a couple just for grins and giggles. Really enjoyed this vid. #72selfIsolating
I really enjoyed your video young man, nice 2 see a small operation mill some beautiful lumber, I had the privilege to work various Sawmills up in Nor-cal 4 over 26yrs. Large log Sawmills, I made some good timber dollars, while putting in some very hard work, very satisfying career indeed!!!
You know how some people think all work is no good. I really find the cutting of lumber a very rewarding and tiring job. But I like doing the work as well.
Very nice Ash lumber. I've been cutting a great deal of Ash from my property and my neighbors property for the last 15 months with my LT15 wide. I have a few thousand board feet of lumber in my barn that is air drying. I plan to use it in my new house I am in the process of building, for cabinets and flooring and trim. It truly is some beautiful lumbar. Great job on cutting Carmine.!! Dan.
Jo, I am on my 74th year. I plan to move out of the city onto a tree acreage and get myself a saw mill can't decide between a Timber King a Serra XT135 or a Wood-Mizer, I still have a lot of time to decide and there are a lot of places here in Canada to do that. All the best Jo.
Great looking log.I have been wanting a different dog setup.what size is the pipe that there attached to.i have a 3/4 or 5/8 threaded rod going across would I need to change that ?
Would loved to have seen some personal protective equipment being used like safety glasses and ear protection. So important! You never know. Plus I would loved to see more views of the wood grain. Maybe some water poured on the planks to highlight the lovely grain for the audience. Nice work young man!
Whatever happened to that log boom y'all were working on? I sort of lost track of it after you left for school. I really enjoy watching you two work together! Makes me wish I'd invested in some timber land here in the northwest when I retired. Keep up the great work!!
Great piece of milling, along with a cool piece of story telling - the seven ages of man. To start with, the old guys ruled and junior did the noddin' & the liftin'. By the end of the vid, the old guys had stopped rulin' and gone to lie down, and junior ruled the roost. Greetings from Shakespeare country, England
Morning guys.... my last load of log length firewood was pretty much all ash... I really enjoy cutting and splitting it. Have a great weekend, weather looks good.
@@josaljo1 That's the first time I've ever heard you say that... I thought you had endless energy or something, especially the way you work every day. Not to mention hand splitting your firewood.
But remember for furniture use kiln dry only. If you use air dry and put it in a room with a wood stove it will shrink even if it was drying 20 years stacked inside in a hot attic. My father and grandfather owned a cabinet shop and wood milling from 1926 to 1989
Not sure where you heard you cant make furniture from air dried lumber because that's just plain wrong. I air dry all my lumber and while it takes time usually about a year or more outside in covered stacks before I move it into my shop to bring it down to final moisture %. I have no problem getting my lumber down to 6% MC the way I do it which is perfectly good for building furniture. 6% MC is about as low as they can go when kiln drying. I've also heard air drying is better in most cases and especially for certain types of wood as it preserves the color better than kiln drying.
Louiiseville sluggers uses ash for their baseball bats it’s beautiful wood too bad the emerald ash borer has more or less wiped out the species of ash everywhere. But it is still around
Hey Joe, very nice ash😃😃!! Did I miss something or did you cut 1x13 boards I know your planer is a 12. Hope you keep a little for tool handles. Very clear stuff, wow👍👍. Hey Carmine, good sell on the dogs. Every woodmizer needs them!!
I ran a planning mill for 10 years .The biggest mistake I noticed was if you needed a 3/4 planed finished board on both sides you must allow for wood shrinkage and sawmill that board 1''1/4'' .. wood will shrink alot when drying
You guys must be in NE PA, because nice ash like that was long gone from the rest of the state by 2019. All rotted and falling down. Nice to see you cutting it. Ash is a magnificent material.
That middle part you were referring to is the PITH...always get the pith out...its weak and worthless ( spongy )... great job getting the pith out. Firewood pile the pith. 👍
That was a good video. I didn’t even notice how long it was. I was just glued to how nice that lumber looks. Do you ever get any hard rock maple and if so do you take special orders?
Good to see the saw and the Men are still at it. I was wondering if the 19hp is nice to use and is it not to noisy or would you recommend getting a 24hp? My Dad has some walnut and spaulded maple to get cut. I would love to get one.
Nice log! I have a LT woodmizer , but just a bit older. You mentioned making dogs and selling them. my older unit has the dogs that tighten with a lever, not convenent. Do you have a page or site where I can look at what you have? Thanks!
Thanks again, what a beautiful log there! I bent the round tension dog arm on my lt15 and was going to buy another but apparently from my woodmizer dealer I'm better off just getting the tube from the hardware store. I don't know the size of it as my mill is out on my island. Next time your at the mill could you let us know what the size of that tube is? I''m thinking it is ⅕" material but don't know how long. it Is easy to bend those by over tightening I found out. Matter of fact it looks like your front one is a little bent, but doesn't bother you yet.
You could use a bigger chainsaw with a longer arm so you can go all the way thru with one cut. If you place some small limbs under the log, 1 on each side of where you cut with the chain saw and a slightly smaller one on the ends, it will keep your log from binding up your chainsaw and lift the log enough you won’t get your blade in the dirt at the bottom. Awesome video. So many great projects that can be made. I just saw these saws for the first time yesterday and would love to have one but being a truck driver I would never have time to use it. Lol
I am interested in purchasing a piece three inches square and three feet long. I need to replace a section of frame under the driver's door of my 1952 MG TD. Your ash looks like just what I need.
Didn't surprise me at all that they pinch the blade trying to cut that log, I was just waiting to hear it bogged down and stop, I own a tree trimming and Landscaping Company, been there done that have the T-shirt
OK, first off, what a beautiful piece of wood! I hope you can make something equally as beautiful. Thanks for the video, but a couple of things... you probably should be using some PPE (personal protection equipment) like head phones and safety glasses. You'll want to be able to hear when you get older (take it from me :) also, um, you should use the car horn more often... ;) I guess your grandpa(?) didn't know how well your camera picks up his words. Other than that, you do a lot of unnecessary raising and lowering of the saw. If you complete the cut, remove the freshly cut board, return the saw to the start and lower it to the new cutting depth it'll save you a lot of work. Just sayin' from personal experience. Take care.
Hi Dave, we found that the saw blade picks up a considerable amount of dust if you don't raise it after a cut, and that dust causes the guide roller to stretch the blade when you start the saw. We find it easier to raise and lower without having to clean the blade.
I've watched a number of different sawyers with woodmizers here on youtube. I've seen some beautiful grains , mostly southern yellow pine, but that ash has got them all beat. BTW, I like the way you step away from the mill from time to time to explain things , although I wish you would look at the camera instead of standing beside it.
I guess it all depends on what you plan to build with it. Personally I'd a either slabbed the whole log at 2 inches for tabletops or quartered it then mill each quarter for dimensional lumber but that's just me.
I want to thank you for letting the old guys be a part of your video. I have years of knowledge in lumber milling and i believe you will have much more fun than i have had.One tip if you dont mind is to find out about over run. Stay safe on your journey .

Pretty!
nice gorgeous white ash, i ve taken some out of the vermont woods. Best for snow shoes, shingles, and siding, really nice for whittling.
Our ash does not do well for shingles or siding I have to check on it.
Those boards look absolutely beautiful.

based on so many positive comments .... I strongly recommend you carry on .....and learn
Nice job. In Scotland our Ash is used in furniture and sporting goods. It also makes a very resilient axe handle.
That is about the same as here. Any nice boards can also make cabinets for kitchens. Thanķs
Who are you trying to fool? In Scotland you use it for sheep clubs so they don't put up a fight when you want a quicky

My front one is bent from the backhoe, I was taking the chain off and I did not realize I was hooked to it right away and I pulled on it.
you're lucky to have ash where ever you are. Here there are very few, if any, living ones left. Just thousands upon thousands of standing dead.
Those are fantastic looking wood, I guess it can be used for flooring or cabnet making.
Look at all of the baseball bat's you. Ould have made with that log. What a beautiful piece of wood.
Yes but I am not into sports so I started making vanities out of it. Really nice wood with no knots.
Nice video..How much for that ash log ?
fantastic machine good work, how much ? Aloha

What's the building next to the mill? Just a green house or is that for drying boards?
That is a solar kiln.
Great video. Have you ever used a green line laser module as an alignment tool ?
No, Cutting a cant first makes alignment pretty easy unless the log is not straight at all.
Have you had any trouble out of the wood mizer? Enjoyed your video...
Nothing worth talking about.
I like that machine, wish I have too, can you give me approximate amount sir. Thanks and I enjoy watching.

Thanks Dan.
Is this Ash same to what we called Teak in South East Asia? It looks exactly the same.
No i think. Ash is pretty cheap compared to teak.
that is summer cut ash you should cut ash in the winter the brown ring is smaller an you get more white wood .
