Brings back wonderful memories of my Granny and Grand daddy's house, they had narrow cut pine floors throughout their house. Thanks so much for sharing. Love your channel, so glad I found you.
My uncle has a saw mill,.. A little bit bigger,.. Saws up to 38 inches,.. He always uses a metal detector over the whole log to see if any nails or bullets inside it before he saws a log,.. takes a few minutes to do,.. And it takes him over an hour to replace a new blade.
Nice job....Thanks for posting. I had a couple of Heart Pine old growth beams I saved and then resawed them into vertical grain boards and built a piece of furniture. Some of it had more than 30 growth rings to the inch. Think of that, a hundred years to grow a 2 x 4. That redder wood in yours is heart pine. Get ready. When I ran mine through a drum sander it would clog the belt completely in about three feet. I spent half the time soaking the belts in Simple Green and putting them back on. Consider hand planes and card scrapers. Beautiful stuff. Dry it and enjoy. You worked hard for it.
A grose of beautiful woodgrain boards I love it. I just love to watch you mill the logs the board slabs have such beautiful woodgrain. Thanks for sharing God bless all of you.
You sure were at your mill’s limit but worth the trouble the log has pretty grain to it and you are surely getting a good lumber supply for just your labor not a bad deal. Thank You for sharing your videos and God Bless
Wow Wes, what a battle! It's ashame that you had to hack the log into a polygon in order to cut it, but you did a great job with what you had. Good video, thumbs up.
Lovely Nice machine . In this you can pull the timber on the machine. You can saw the timber up to 8' ft. Girth. You carry this machine any where for sawing the timber.
I am not a wood person but your videos are planned and well shot. I know it takes a lot of work to plan the angle of shots and to edit. Enjoyed them. Thanks
Aunque pasó un año, espero que ahora estén más prácticos...a ese hermoso rollo hay que aprovecharlo al máximo lo que es la madera. El 1er. corte tiene que ser leña, el 2do. corte puede tener algo que se puede aprovechar...se puede hacer un 3er. corte, y se pone la base que se hizo sobre el Carro y se hace de la misma manera que el otro corte, después se lo pone al rollo de la forma que al aserrarlo salgan ya las tablas limpias sin cáscara y se aprovecha al máximo al rollo, lo digo porque fui Oficial Aserrador de madera en rollos y de máquina Sinfín con más de 25 años de experiencia...me gustaría que me contesten si entendieron, pero que sea traducido el mensaje..

Three words.... Alaskan Chainsaw Mill! There is no doubt that a dedicated sawmill is the most efficient machine for lumber making, but for logs that size, and the amount of time and work maneuvering, trimming, etc., you would have had multiple slabs done with a chainsaw Mill. I still greatly admire your persistence and work ethic!! Well done! 💪💪💪
Sabes, me encanta lo que realizas con la madera,, yo no tengo casa y me imagino con aquella máquina cortaría todo, para armar una casita para mi mujer y yo, felicitaciones, desde Chile
Need to get a log pro wizard . It's a planer wheel on the ebd of your chain saw bar , takes standard 3.5 inch planer blades and would peel that bark off slick !!!
Good result Wes! Fine achievement to get that log up there and mill some quality planks from it. I'm sure I could smell that Pine over here in the UK! Stay safe - stay well.
I was a swayer at a big mill for years and I can tell you if you hit a nail going across it you will zip right thru it but if you catch just right and end up going down the length pf it you will blow that saw right off the wheel lol.
I run and LT10 so pretty much same specs for log size as you 28" and yes I have done 32 or 33. Just a pain though . What I have started doing so I dont have to pass on these nice big logs is I bought a Alaskan chainsaw mill and just break it down to a manageable size for the mill.. I hate milling with chainsaw because its painfully slow but it's almost faster to just take a good 8 or 10" slab off side of big log and makes the rest of log easy to just make lumber. Idk I'm just rambling I guess but thought it a fairly cheap way for you to be able to utilize some if the bigger stuff. Love the channel thanks for letting us follow along.. do some great work..
Great job whittling the log down its not easy. Personally this log would been a great candidate to split. You just never know what you will find when you open a log. One would not have guessed a nail would be where that one was. But all said and done that going to be some very nice useful lumber. That pine would be a little soft for flooring though but would sure make some awesome cabinets.
I can see where it would be good to have some help when rolling those logs. I was fearful of your forward knee for a moment when it was on the ground. Must be very rewarding to be able to cut your own boards. Amazing.
Good video. Suggest frequent brushing of the cooling air intakes for cooling the cylinder heads. I was worried with the amount of sawdust on the front and rear of the engine. I know those engines are not cheap and overheat easily if the air inlets front and rear are not clean as well as blowing the engine out front to back and back to front now and then. If you are going to work the old mill that hard, I'd suggest paying close attention to the cooling as air over the cylinder heads is all you have got. Have a good one
While I was using yard trees I kept a salsa jar for junk hidden in the wood. When I finally ran out of yard tree lumber, there was a good fistful of pieces of screws and nails in the jar.. I estimated that back then, thirty years ago, the damage to blades and planer knives was over $1,000.
I really enjoyed the video. I'm sure there was a whole lot of work we did not see. I like when you pour water on the wood to bring out the grain. Keep up the good work and stay safe and Healthy.
You have a fairly long chainsaw. This would be a very good use case for a chainsaw mill, to quarter monsters like this before putting them on the actuall mill. There are lot of people rigging their own DIY version. Something to ponder if you ever get in a situation like this again.
Lay your log stops down a bit and cheat the bigger logs over towards your exiting side a few more inches. Then you won’t have so much chainsaw work on the entry side. Wedge both sides then on the bottoms. This works well.
I have kind of an advantage in this life, I grew up around men and machinery, mainly logging, and my dad was involved in it from the time of horses and steam engines. He tried to pass on to me his experience, and what he didn't teach me I learned from my own experiences, sometimes the hard way. I'm usually pretty impressed with you, but this operation was one step from disaster from the start. Rolling that large of log up there on the mill is asking for a back injury, rolling them without the log dog or some other means of stopping them from rolling back is potential for much worse. See if you can find the hook from and old peavy or cant hook, attach to your winch line and drive it into the bottom of the log and then turn it with the winch. At least wrap the winch line loosely around the log to keep it from rolling back on you, and always be in a position to get out of the way if the log starts coming back, that means clearing out your ramps.. If you're going to do this again you must find some way to securely dog those logs down to the mill, plastic wedges on a steel deck is an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise, nice wood.
😢 I know it's probably a couple of years to wait but do you have any of that part of pine boards that you cut I need I need her to Pine because it the house that my wife and I live in was built in 1951 it's a my father-in-law build it and he's done all the trim work it's a it's a and I know you're going to Seminary and you probably won't never see this but if you happen to and you have some I sure would like to purchase some from you and good luck on going to see Seminary and may God lead you the way he wants to
What good does it do to try to cut the logs that are too big for the sawmill if you have to haggle on them with the chainsaw? Isn't that a waste of time and money to have to do that?
i told you to get the bigger one
I should have listened.
I told you and told you, but did you listen. Mother was right.
@@falllineridge Nice video, could have used a LT 35 though. :) it's' just money anyway...

Jake Dean found and old flat file that was proly used back in the day to sharpen an Axe or Cross cut saw, in a big Hardwood log sawn.
I love watching these sort of things. Thank you?
Best and most peaceful sawmill channel on the Internet. Sure do miss this guy!

Wow, incredible wood. You eorkef the mill to the max. You wouldn't want to work it that hard everyday. Great job!

Bravo! Tough job!
Beautiful wood!
Those large logs, quarter-sawn, would have produced some phenomenal pine flooring...
Y'all really had to work for that lumber. I see you brought in even more help. You can't have too much help. Y'all did Good 👍
Georgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wide planks and with some yellow!
Beautiful!!! Thank You for your content!
Excellent sawing son and beautiful lumber
23:30 so wonderful boards whith so much nice resin in it. I wish i could get these for my pine wood projects which i can design. Awesome pine wood.
Heck yeah I can't work without my side pliers I love em, fantastic sawing!
You sure were at your mill’s limit but worth the trouble the log has pretty grain to it and you are surely getting a good lumber supply for just your labor not a bad deal. Thank You for sharing your videos and God Bless

Beautiful grain! Wood is really a special and beautiful material to work with.
I do admire the extra effort to make this work.
Good job and great video, God bless and stay safe
Holy moly. Definitely worth all the trouble you had to deal with in getting these gorgeous cuts. I'm incredibly impressed, excellent job!!
Thank you, Will.

I think you've got a good point.
WOW SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GRAIN, ITLL POP AFTER STAINING. AWESOME WORK GUYS, IMPRESSIVE!
Wide boards, beautiful. You were just about on the limit there! Good work
Past the limit!
@@falllineridge That's a good saw you have there. It would be a shame to damage it. How much would a bigger one cost?
What a beautiful life you have....
That winch sure is handy! After moving big logs around this weekend, I'm kind of jealous!
I can't wait for your next video
Great looking pine 👍
Sabes, me encanta lo que realizas con la madera,, yo no tengo casa y me imagino con aquella máquina cortaría todo, para armar una casita para mi mujer y yo, felicitaciones, desde Chile
Well done guys. Keep pushing on, nice lumber from a manual mill 👍🙏
Our neighbours got jack pines never cut in history records buts were over 6’ high 180’ tall hundreds of trees taken massive weights you got nice wood
You all are really working for your lumber!!!
Well you nailed it, big logs and lot of hard work. Stay safe take care my friend god bless
Thanks, Donald.
It looks like these hard working folks are gonna need a bigger machine.
By 'ek one could be in heaven with all those trees blown over ---A real life "we are going to have loadsa overtime with this lot.

Not knocking the Mizer at all but those big pines are why i have a Timber King. They fit, no problem.
Impressive work
Even though it was extra work , the end results were beautiful. Learning experience as well.

Several have mentioned a chainsaw mill. I think if I had to do this regularly that would be a good investment!
Hello from western ark. I tortured my mill in much the same way a good while back! The outcome outweighs the trouble in some ways.Gotta love it!!
Este tio si sabe lo que hace, busca la manera de encontrar el corte perfecto, bien allí!!!
You need a block of wood to act as a stop you can kick under the log to keep it from rolling back. Looks like hard work.
Yes! I did not wait to comment I see you got smart.

Nice mill rig, Logs that size would have made nice quarter sawn boards.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat," Chief Brody once said.
Man that looks like fun. Hard work but fun.
OMG those little oak slabs in the back are exactly what i want for my end table upcycle. I got a singer sewing machine base i need a top for!
Looking at the big, beautiful wood, I think there's nothing more to add if we make a large table. It's cool.
Hermosa madera, buen trabajo,quiero una de esas máquinas
Gracias amigo.
@@falllineridge larga vida
Impressive very impressive. Thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe.
Incredible heartwood!

It's crazy all the stuff that people stick in trees. I'm guilty myself.
its gonna take a while to do all logs good work guys great inside of wood
That is so beautiful
Stunning. Just beautiful. Well done.
everyone who owns a sawmill should own a metal dedecter
Amazing brother
Good job! When the going gets tough, the tough gets going...
To say you’ve got sweat equity outta those logs would be putting it mildly! Well earned and well done 👍🏼💪🏼
Thanks, Hugh!
I had to take 3 rest breaks during the video and now I am so exhausted I'm going to bed. WOW what a work out !!..
Another Miller throws some water on the slab to show the beauty of the grain. Maybe try it?
I really enjoyed the video. I'm sure there was a whole lot of work we did not see. I like when you pour water on the wood to bring out the grain. Keep up the good work and stay safe and Healthy.
Great video. What are you going to do with those 1 inch pieces?
Good job.

Mighty thick first pass. That's a BFL even for our LT 40. Imagine if that was a 16'er. Beautiful wood, tho. Wood-Mizer should be proud.
Good video - really nice lumber.
Thanks, Steve!
Took a lot of work but that is gold!
Best stuff I've ever cut!
Great logs... I would be great if cut some pieces wider width. It would make a nice family table.
That was max for sure!
After the 1st hurricane in Louisiana I have 1 pine tree that is 48” at roots. I will be ordering a mill and use all the lumber for rebuilding
A good title for this video would be "Woodmizer LT15 Torture Test." LOL
Where exactly is the limit😁
Amazing log, amazing job of milling
Maravilhosa maquina ,aqui no Brasil faria maior sucesso. bela aquisição.
