I didn't do a lot of explaining in this video. These logs are about 20.5 feet long. I needed some long 2x12s to expand the sawmill shed. My mill will not cut logs that long. I got a local sawyer to come over with his mill and do it. He did a great job.
The old man (and I mean that most affectionately) certainly gave you and your setup a run for your money! Great results and it will be great to see this lumber on your expanded shed sir!
I started watching your videos in 2019 while sitting in Afghanistan and decided a LT15GO like yours would be perfect on my farm after I retired. Little did I know the word would get out that I had one and people started asking me to mill for them, which has made for a nice retirement side job. Creeping up on 50 years old I’m looking into a hydraulic mill in the next three to five years if I plan on continuing milling, which I do. Glad to see another Vet who made it to do what he enjoys.
Mr. Ray is my grandpa! 💛 He has told me a lot of about your channel. I’m so excited y’all got to work together on this project! I know how hard it is working summers on that sawmill! You did a great job! ☺️ **I love that brylie had another pup friend to hang out with!**
Truly Mr Ray is a "Wood Miser" - hardly any waste. Good video - that older miser with the hydraulic assist is a work saver. Thanks to you both for a great video!!!
The paint may be old and faded but that mill makes beautiful lumber. Big shout out to Mr. Ray great job milling that lumber. Great video men, thumbs up.
God bless Mr Ray! What a beautiful sentiment he shared with using everything that God gives us 🙏🙏🙏 Oh my goodness! What a world we would have if more people thought like that. Thank you for sharing his time and talent with all of us. It is amazing to me that he thanked you for having him come over to help.
How good it is to be able to speak and work with someone who has extensive knowledge in the subject close to your heart. Even better when they share useful knowledge.
What a great approach and attitude Mr. Ray possesses! A true old school professional. Waste not, want not ! Been there and done it in his own reserved way. Bob Newton, Norwich, Norfolk.
It is satisfying to watch a sawyer at work sawing logs. That is how I found your channel during the plandemic. I enjoy all your other content but watching the saw run is my personal favorite.
WHERE DID THE 40 COME FROM AND WHO IS THE GENTLEMAN WITH YOU. BOY ARE YOU EVER GOING TO TOWN.THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR A BUSINESS TO MAKE A PROFIT WITH OUT KELLING YOUR SELF . IT IS SO GOOD SEEING YOU THIS MORNING MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE KEN FROM DOWN UNDER.
Great video Wes! Some lovely boards there. Nice to see a different Wood-mizer in action, and the hydraulic Lift & Turn sure makes life easier! Best wishes to all from the UK - Stay safe & well! 👍👍
Thanks for the video, always enjoy the projects you are working on. Beautiful logs and lumber, would make some great post beam constructions with those big logs.
Your sawer friend with the lt40 i may have been in the seabees with him I was in mcb one in vietnam In 1967 68 ,69 He also looks like he loves Jesus too happy day when Jesus washed my sins away
This was a joy to watch. We all need to be reminded at times that none of what we have is ours, it was all given to us by God to do the best things with.
It looks to be a tad chillish the morning you started with the LT40. It also looks like you might have to get yourself an Lt40 too. Think of it. No more rasslin' logs with a peavey, longer logs, which means longer lumber, and correct me if I'm wrong but that 40 seems to kick the sawdust further away form your path when walknig along while it's cutting. In another 5 days I'll be as old as Ray, and I know of what he speaks when he says he can't do what you young whippersnappers can. BTW, I haven't had to use my 2601 yet, except to show it off to a couple friends in the neighborhood, but I like it. My IH 350 Utility was a 35 horse, this is 26 and I was surprised it's not much smaller than the old machine . The visibility with the Kubby is much better because I sit much higher. The hydrostatic transmixer is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The old tractor had a 5 speed manual with a torque amplifier and because the transmission needed work, which I couldn't afford, it was a pain in the rear to shift out of reverse. I always had to pull the TA into low just to take it out of reverse. It's much easier to lift and roll the bucket with one control stick instead of two levers , and it's 4WD ,with rear and mid mount PTOs. I didn't even have a rear PTO on the cornbinder.
I enjoy seeing Godly men be successful in endeavors such as these. Especially when they can work with other similar men to accomplish theirs and God’s plan
What is the reason for not cutting all the vark off the log when squaring it up? It would seem that getting a clean beam to then cut lumber from would be the best thing.
I have an LT-35 hydraulic which is pretty similar to this mill. When I do portable work I don't trust my clients to load or unload my mill with a tractor. It's been smacked / bumped one too many times. I have them place logs in front of the mill and we unload them onto the tractor by hand. I think I'd trust you to do it but most people I've found to be way too ham-fisted. They'll still manage to knock a bed rail with their tractor moving logs around. I just built stands for your sharpener and setter the other day. I have about 100 dull blades laying around and I'm yet to successfully restore one yet. Just need to spend more time with it.
I really do like the old man cuts his logs i try to do the same with the least waist possible and it is unbelievable how much material you can get out of a log Now as far as the diesel fuel for lub i have a little issues on that where my saw is is not far from a ditch that goes to my pound and it not portable it is stationary so the fuel would accumulate in that area also i do eat the fish out of my pound so i don't want the fuel to go to it so i guess i am stuck using soap and water and wait till my logs dries enough so the sap does not accumulate on my blade also there was a few other people that mention they were using diesel fuel for lub and they change back to soap and water because of the smell that it leaves on the clothes and if you use your mill at the same place it does smell strong in the area well have a nice day i really did enjoy watching the old man use his mill by the way my mill cut up to 23 feet also
Great video, I think diesel is a great lube BUT, for construction lumber only. 2xs fence pickets and such. I would consider Diesel smell on my finished lumber for indoor use. Mr Ray would know it’s limitations as far as smell is concerned.
The concern with the diesel smell most of it is soaked up in the saw dust. I only have it dripping not flowing hard it’s $4. Per gallon . In a days work I use about a gallon . It saves on blades and you get a more accurate cut. I make furniture with most of the wood I cut or shiplap siding for the inside of houses no complaints .
This feller has a Seabee cap on as another retired 75 year old retired Seabee I’m wondering if I may have know him ? Not a heck of a lot of us out there .
If the funds aren’t quite ready for a hydraulic mill check out a lt 28 same bed as the 35-40 21 feet cut. log turner but let them keep the hand crank and you add a electric winch for the log turner. I added a hydraulic log loader to mine and I really do believe I could cut just the same as a 35 or 40 no joke that’s a smoking hot mill even without the set works
We have a guy with that size of mill to cut our trees to lumber when we have enough for him to cut. Great way to save on lumber. Also cuts my 2x4 a real 2x4 and what ever size i need.
It’s faster. Especially on a manual mill.Only rolling 90°,the stops on operator side of mill are exactly 90° to the bed.BUT it definitely depends on the shape of the log, if it has a (dog leg ) in it or 3” bow in 8’…..
Hey Fall Line Ridge, I'm reaching out from Broadband TV because my team is very interested in exploring a strategic partnership with your channel - I thought I'd try leaving a comment since there is no email listed. Would be great to connect for a quick call or over email this week - please let me know if you get this! Thank you! Julian at BBTV

He certainly did do a great job. And such a nice man too. Seems he found the ideal later-years job. Diesel fuel was a good tip.
That's is what neighbors are for!
Boy, he rode that thing like a pawn shop donkey! Looking forward to your build. Excellent video! Thank you for it!
The old man (and I mean that most affectionately) certainly gave you and your setup a run for your money! Great results and it will be great to see this lumber on your expanded shed sir!

So happy to have my grandpa on the show, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, John. He's a talented guy!
What a pleasure to just sit and watch your video this evening after all the nonsense we have had to endure up here in Canada recently.
I totally agree
Mr. Ray is my grandpa! 💛 He has told me a lot of about your channel. I’m so excited y’all got to work together on this project! I know how hard it is working summers on that sawmill! You did a great job! ☺️
**I love that brylie had another pup friend to hang out with!**

Great having a neighbor so knowledgable and helpful. Now to get the shed expanded before all the rains.
God bless Mr Ray! What a beautiful sentiment he shared with using everything that God gives us 🙏🙏🙏
Oh my goodness! What a world we would have if more people thought like that. Thank you for sharing his time and talent with all of us. It is amazing to me that he thanked you for having him come over to help.
He's a great guy. One of the hardest working men I know.
He's my cousin, and I totally agree. If more people were like him and his wife we'd be living in God's Kingdom on earth.
How good it is to be able to speak and work with someone who has extensive knowledge in the subject close to your heart. Even better when they share useful knowledge.
What a great approach and attitude Mr. Ray possesses! A true old school professional. Waste not, want not ! Been there and done it in his own reserved way. Bob Newton, Norwich, Norfolk.
Flawless sawing in record time also! This sawyer is the fun to watch. Thanks Bra!
It is satisfying to watch a sawyer at work sawing logs. That is how I found your channel during the plandemic. I enjoy all your other content but watching the saw run is my personal favorite.
You hooked me with the faded paint in the thumbnail! Saw LT40 and wondered what happened. Great video, you were freed up to move the camera.
WHERE DID THE 40 COME FROM AND WHO IS THE GENTLEMAN WITH YOU. BOY ARE YOU EVER GOING TO TOWN.THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR A BUSINESS TO MAKE A PROFIT WITH OUT KELLING YOUR SELF . IT IS SO GOOD SEEING YOU THIS MORNING MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE KEN FROM DOWN UNDER.
Mr. Ray is helping with his saw mill for the day.
That sawyer is a fine christian man. Both of you are. Thank you both for sharing your good work with us.
Great video Wes! Some lovely boards there. Nice to see a different Wood-mizer in action, and the hydraulic Lift & Turn sure makes life easier! Best wishes to all from the UK - Stay safe & well! 👍👍
I love this show! Go Ray Go!
Thanks for the video, always enjoy the projects you are working on. Beautiful logs and lumber, would make some great post beam constructions with those big logs.
Great Godly man helping his brother. Angels are watching in wonder (Hebrews).
Good sawyer.. sometimes ya need a little help from your friends. 👍 From Cadillac Michigan
He was great.
Nice video. Good friends are a big blessing.
I love the way you work God bless you and yours families
Awesome video, he puts God 1st how awesome! Thanks for sharing, absolute gorgeous lumber!
Good to see someone that likes to work as much as my daddy does! Great job guys!
Great to see a fellow Seabee out there. Tell him hello from a Builder Second Class for me.
MCB 121 1967 to 1970 two Vietnam tours one with CBTeam 12104 . Love sawing and the Seabees.
@@ray_singleton I was in NMCB Four from 1989-1992. I was in the first Gulf War.
First thing I noticed was the Bee hat. Old Bee getting it done, AWESOME! NMCB4 96-01.
I love watching you both cut the logs.
Those logs were great, no nails! And I love that hydraulic arm that rotates the log!
Awesome job in milling those logs.
Your sawer friend with the lt40 i may have been in the seabees with him
I was in mcb one in vietnam
In 1967 68 ,69
He also looks like he loves Jesus too happy day when Jesus washed my sins away
Mr. Ray was a Navy Seabee from 1966-1970 in Vietnam.
That is an impressive machine, particularly in the hands of someone who knows what he is doing.
This was a joy to watch. We all need to be reminded at times that none of what we have is ours, it was all given to us by God to do the best things with.
Good reminder, Mark. Thank you.
Awesome to see him at age 74 is amazing
Kick your RPMs up a bit and your hydraulics will smooth out when using the loader.
Amazing friend 👍👍
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing

I know I shouldn't be jealous of an old LT40 but I totally am. My poor little Timberking couldn't keep up. For that matter, neither could I.
I enjoy seeing Godly men be successful in endeavors such as these. Especially when they can work with other similar men to accomplish theirs and God’s plan

Glad you were able to get longer logs cut.
That 40 is a sweet machine.
Would it be worth extending it out?? That way, you could cut the boards in half and have double the lumber in a single log.
I have an LT-35 hydraulic which is pretty similar to this mill. When I do portable work I don't trust my clients to load or unload my mill with a tractor. It's been smacked / bumped one too many times. I have them place logs in front of the mill and we unload them onto the tractor by hand.

Great video
I bet the mill only holds 20’6” so you had 1” to spare. Do they make extensions for your mill? 30’ beams sell for high dollar I hear.
Crazy the noise differences between the gas and diesel motors, even at idle. We have to nearly yell at each other while milling to communicate.
that machine was really quiet too , nice boards
Great video, I think diesel is a great lube BUT, for construction lumber only. 2xs fence pickets and such. I would consider Diesel smell on my finished lumber for indoor use. Mr Ray would know it’s limitations as far as smell is concerned.

Sending my full support gdblesss brother 👍❤️
This feller has a Seabee cap on as another retired 75 year old retired Seabee I’m wondering if I may have know him ? Not a heck of a lot of us out there .
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
This mill sure throws the sawdust out hard and fast.
what kind of blade is he using?
If the funds aren’t quite ready for a hydraulic mill check out a lt 28 same bed as the 35-40 21 feet cut. log turner but let them keep the hand crank and you add a electric winch for the log turner. I added a hydraulic log loader to mine and I really do believe I could cut just the same as a 35 or 40 no joke that’s a smoking hot mill even without the set works
Before you change to deisal lube check Out of The Woods channel and see why he stopped using it .
We have a guy with that size of mill to cut our trees to lumber when we have enough for him to cut. Great way to save on lumber. Also cuts my 2x4 a real 2x4 and what ever size i need.
Is there a reason for leaving the lumber on the cant and continuing to cut, other than just because you are removing with a tractor?
Does the saw only work in one direction so the blade can cool off between passes?
WHY DID HE NOT AFTER HIS FIRST CUT PUT THE SIDE THAT WAS JUST MILLED ON THE BOTTOM SO AS TO MAKE THE NEXT CUT TO BE SQUARE??
It’s faster. Especially on a manual mill.Only rolling 90°,the stops on operator side of mill are exactly 90° to the bed.BUT it definitely depends on the shape of the log, if it has a (dog leg ) in it or 3” bow in 8’…..
Good job
👍
How much would it cost to extend the sawmill out about 4 more feet??
Just wondering why he wasn’t using his bark cutter?
Wondered the same thing - he didn't kick it in once. He's a good sawyer from what I can see, so there must be a mechanical issue.

How bad was the diesel smell on the lumber? Thank You
None at all. Uses very little of it.
Hey do you still do beekeeping of so could you do a update this spring it’s been a while

👍👍
Hi good work❤❤❤❤i am a Logan please let share ideas together
The real shame is all that scrap pine is no good except for the burn pile.
I don't like having to walk around that tire.
Lovely Nice sawing machine
Is the gentleman originally from Alabama?
No sir he’s originally from Georgia
you call that a monster log !?

what monster logs,and monster mill don't like it
