I feel like this is the equivalent of a wet t-shirt contest for wood workers
#LogRights #StopLogPorn
I was thinking along similar lines. Matt is providing wood porn! LOL
@@lightdark00 LOL There's always one "crusader" in the bunch.... ;)
New drinking game. Take a drink everytime Matt says "bark inclusion" 😜
Great analogy. 😋
And that door and wall art pieces at the end are why you should watch the video all the way through! That’s a great collaboration and I look forward to more creations from it.
That mill is a beast. Love these log sawing vidoes. Please don't "quit". Keep these great videos coming.
thanks!
Ahhhhhhh! So Matt finally understands how us little mill people feel!!!! We do anger management every log we saw! Really cool to max out the mill! Didn't think it would ever happen.
hahahahaha
"Nice crack". As an urban Sawyer, we agree, cracks are part of the natural beauty. We would have milled these a bit thicker to be safe and ensure as finished live edge tops that they are at least 2" thick. That vacuum kiln is sweet with the clamping system. That door is sweet...very nice work. We are producing some special wall art that we hope to share early next year. Keep it up and love what you do!
I wonder, when Matt met his wife, if he threw water on her.
909sickle oh my goodness
I love this comment so much. So random, so funny yet so possible
This a valid pick up maneuver in several situations... Just don't comment on the figure...
As long as he didn't through water on her and say nice crotch figure, otherwise he might not be married!!!
Look at her ..she‘s beautiful!
Awesome! By the 4th or 5th slab I was like: Oh another amazing slab...and another...and another. You'd think I'd get bored watching wood being sawn. But I don't. Keep up the good work, Matt.
Matt - Immensely enjoy your videos. Not only do I acquire a lot of technical knowledge, watching you saw logs is very relaxing, something that touches our primitive cortex, much like taking a nap in a good rainstorm. You have a very rare 'pn camera' talent, which is the ability to communicate in an easy / clear manner. If you ever get tired of woodworking, you could be a late night TV talk show host hands down!
Thanks Jim!
Matt, you are a lucky guy to be able to save so much awesome wood for projects. It pains me to see great tree's like this one turned into firewood.
I had the privilege of living and working at an old growth sawmill in the late 70's, in eastern victoria, Australia. We used to mill Australian mountain ash which can grow up to 300 feet high. Largest log we cut while I was there was 14 feet in diameter. There were two logs of similar size from the same tree, each log weighed about 40 tons ( the max load for a log truck). The breakdown saw had a 12 foot jaw, I could fit my forearm between the teeth of the blade. The mill is now a ghost town in the middle of Errinundra national park that was created in the mid 80's to preserve these magnificent giants.
The door and 'wall art' are amazingly beautiful! The colour of the bark is intense, nice to be able to see some of it in these two pieces.
Now that we know your saw could accommodate a car, I will be eagerly awaiting the day you mill up a Toyota. :)
Seriously, I love the excitement you convey when you see the beauty of the wood! Thanks for sharing!
hahahaha future video idea! Thanks!!
The seeing of the end was a nice touch. Seeing the Log cut, and then seeing what was done with it is quite entertaining.
Really enjoy your videos. Glad to see you with a bit of help throwing them slabs around when age creeps up on you your back will appreciate it.👍👍👍
I have a time consuming milling idea for you. A time-lapse / animation of a log being sawn... sawed... CUT a quarter inch at a time, for both some very thin slabs, and also for a shot of the log being cross-sectioned to see the grain from top to bottom.
You make cutting a log into boards interesting : ) (Along with your other full projects) Good times!
This is absolutely fantastic milling! Love the measurements on the “little” end of “only 36”” lol My biggest slabs are only a touch over 2’! I also like the fact even you had to trim the log! 😀🤔 Keep up the epic logs 👌🏼
hahaha thanks!!
Wow that was a very nice Log.Great idea with the door.
Great video as always Matt. Going by how many logs you process, a hose would be great. Just a thought though.
Always gotta respect a guy who has fun and enjoyment whilst working. Excellent stuff Matt
Brian Joyce thanks!
The highlight of this video is the Queen Anne Highboy at the end. That cherry has taken on some beautiful color since you built it. That thing is beautiful.
It’s catching up the the secretary desk. Thanks!
That highboy was one of the first videos of yours i saw. It is truly a beautiful piece of master craftsmanship. One day I hope to be half as skilled and talented as Matt Cremona!
Thank you!
I would really like to get my hands on a few of those doors. Great work.
That is some nice slabs, not something we see down here in the south. Good to see you had some help with this one. Going to steal your idea and drill some holes in my cross supports for log moving.
Thanks!
Finally. Someone who shows some finished pieces.
Sometimes I wish I could give you Two Thumbs up and this is one of them
That door and wall hanging are ingenious creations - absolutely awesome!!!
Sawyerphila - The medical condition of coming home after a long day at work and watching a man enjoy his sawmill! Thanks for sharing your love for your work
I think I have that too
I love the work you do and ideas with new uses of natural resources that save these great trees
Matt, Ive been watching for a while, and always like you ability to overcome the size of the log. I see millions of projects for people with that wood.
thank you!
Matt, get some material handling equipment. Muscling those slabs and logs around by hand will eventually result in a bad back. Be careful.
or if he lifts them properly itll result in a Big Back.... we evolved to lift throw toss and do work just because everyone walking out of there office jobs lifts like theyre 85 years old doesnt mean using your muscles will ruin them
This is gonna be gorgeous when it's all done! Those slabs you cut first will make some awesome tables and such. While these veneers are really gonna show off when placed properly. And by no means am I an expert on wood working nor furniture! I just know what I like!
Man Matt - I need to get on your friend list...get a big trailer, big truck, chain saw and access to huge logs and life would be good. Amazing slabs!!
Just cut 82 inch wide burl on my home made mill never seen such beautiful wood 😎
Beautiful! At one point it began to look like the deck of an aircraft carrier!
So bigger IS better! LOL....seriously though, what a beautiful tree. That mill is a beast!
At 15:42, you have GOT to make a giant (Jackman style) guitar!! The slab at that point has the general shape of a guitar body.
First time I have ever seen one of these big cuts on the same day it posted (and I have watched them all).
......and those may be the best looking slabs you have ever cut!
Amazing work on the completed stuff too.
thanks!
Gosh, I'd love to sew what becomes of these beautiful pieces in the hands of a talented cabinet/furniture maker!
Matt, Definitely shows off your milling machines’ large capacity! Great work and beautiful pieces.
This collaboration is gonna be wonderful for shortening the time it takes for selling your slabs! Will you be building your own vacuum dryer when you ever get around to moving to a new location? Hope Lindsay and baby girl are doing well !! Tell her I said hello.
thats freakin huge matt . i used to have mill envy but after watching this one , hell no . i will stay satisfied with my itty bitty hudson .you're making my back hurt just by watching this .
That visual look to "things" is so much better than the auditory look to "things"...
Funny guy!
😂😂
You have some of the most interesting videos on sawing logs, thanks for sharing.
I am glad you are talented with your medium
Even after sanding is there still some quality grain texture, those pinks of branches look gorgeous.
They have to be four five stone apiece then.
See these at 26:40 are the bits I mean in the other text for coffee cup mats dinner place mats somebody could but from you and make them. Same with any branch as thick as your wrist or fingers cut em into coins and make episy resin breakfast tables of three feet diametre
Whoa... gotta stay to the end for this one. Those thin slab projects are the bomb. That takes a lot of weight out of the equation. Really nice.
thanks!
Let's see April Wilkerson beat this one 😂😂
She has some huge oaks down her way
@@percarlsson792 as you mention it 😂
Beautiful end products with those thin pieces. I enjoyed the video very much.
probably the coolest saw milling video I have ever saw, lol. Beautiful Maple, I have alot of it on my property and I just got a saw mill (nothing as big as yours) I didn't build my own (don't have the time). Love the way the door turned out with the wood, didn't like the epoxy design much but its not going in my house and every one likes different stuff. Great job as always Matt
Lee Hedges thanks!
That slab at 7 minutes would be a perfect dinner table.
It was great to see some finished products. Please show us more of what become of those awesome boards and slabs.
hate to break to u,lawyer offices
It sure is nice to not hear engines noises while you are cutting the slabs, great job and just awesome wood .
WOW! I had visions of all that reaction wood in the 1/2" slabs turning into the Rocky Mountains...
MATTHEW YOU NEEDD NOT EVER WORREY ABOUT WHAT YOU WELL BE DOING. I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS ANYONE THAT IS EXZIKELY WHERE THAY SHOULDD BE AT THIS POINT IN LIFE. yOUU ARE ABLE TO SEE INTO A PPEACE OF WOOD AND KNOW WHAT IT IS NEEDED TO BRING THE FULLNESS OF BUITY OUT AND BRING JOY AND PEACE TO THE BEHOLDER. MAATHEW THIS IS A TRUE GIFT FROM ARE HEVENLY FATHER. DO NOT BE AFRADE TO EXPERMENT WITH ALL YOUR IDEAS. I ALWAYYS FELL SO CAALM AND PICEFULL AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDOES. I AM IN THE LAST STAGES OF COMPLEAT LUNG FALIER. BUT CENTEERING MY FOCUS ON THE POOSITAVE IS SO MUCH EASE THAN BEING A MEAN OLD GROUCH AND HEATING THOES AROUND ME. FOR ME THAT IS WASTED TIME AND INERGERY. THANK YOU FOR YOU BEIING YOU LOVE AND RESPECT TO YOU AND YOURS. KEN FROM DOWN UNDER.
Thank you so much, Ken!
Learning lots from your channel. Thanks!
I I wish you talk more about your building of your Mill and the operation of it
I saw a trailer today with a log arch and winches on it with some pretty good sized logs on it. Needless to say I got a little excited when I saw it then an hour later you upload a video about sawing up some maple! What a day!😎
That's a pretty incredible day!
Matthew Cremona it was!
The door is gorgeous. Kudos.
Thanks!
You could use a feed drive and a garden hose. Nice job.
Thanks for showing what some of the log ended up as. Thats an interesting concept!
Thanks for watching!
Such amazing! Such a beautiful stuff. I really enjoy watching your bandsaw mill doing the cut, It's wonderful! I can't wait to see what's your going to do with those beautiful slabs in your next project. Very nice matt. Good job😉!
After a million years or whatever wood is just in our dna,any culture.
I woodwork but enjoy milling/collecting wood just as much.
Great looking projects Matt.
thanks!
Awsome job bro started watching u now I'm hooked
One of your top shows
Great stuff Matt!
Hey Matt, here is a project
To try cut a piece of a log
Standing up so bark all the way around making a table top and have your friend kiln it for you n w tags and pictures under clear epoxy label the rings w familys births, special events , us history n date it back from day tree was cut you can color the tags and is corresponding rings to see ages n size of the family/historical tree at those specific times n even put pitures of people under thin clear epoxy
Thanks Dana
New Hampshire
Very nice work you guys.
That would make fantastic countertops
these are going to make some beautiful tables.,.!! Just keeps get better and better ..!!
WOW! These will make some beautiful tables!
Cool experiment in the 1/2 slabs, but man, seems like it would take so much longer to cut up a tree that way. That said, it doesn't really work without that nifty vacuum kiln. Cool stuff. Like seeing the experimentation for sure!
Thank You telling in metric ! It helps ! God bless you!
Beatifull wood Matt! Greetings from Chile!👍👍
Beautiful pieces of wood and one can only imagine the stories that tree could tell
Gary Haines it can't tell any stories now because it's dead
Holy smokes! That was a huge log. Beautiful! Nice video.
holy smokes is right!
Awesome...thanks for the video. Amazing door! You have a nice supply of slabs...worth all the effort!
Thanks!
Beatifull wood Matt! Greetings from Chile!👍👍
thanks!
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Aaron Rogelio instablaster =)
@Kaiden Arian thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kaiden Arian It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
Gotta love the fishing style 'this is how big it was' pose standing next to it on the mill.
Pics or it didn’t happen
Nice job Matthew.
Gday matt. Love the veneer products you are embarking on. And the build videos. Awesome stuff. Well done man!
Thanks!
How about slabs from not so big trees (up to maybe 20 inch diameter) including the central part of the crown as decorative wall panels? Keep as much of any branches as can fit in the saw. Would be cool.
That slab @7:19 would make a really great island counter top !
That's great, such a lot of nice clear timber!
Sir, You should call Ford motor company & tell them you have one of a kind table in the shape of the State of Mich. The last slab you put water on looks great???
That is a nice door!!! Beautiful
thanks!
A woven plastic bag on the dust outlet would save a lot of cleaning up. Add something sticky and you’ll have some handy fire bricks.
you should do some experiments to see how thin you can go.
Wow! THAT'S impressive!
Very nice!! Beautiful patterns and colors
merci pour ces vidéo de construction et de coupe de bois , félicitation pour ton projet , en passant je me demande pourquoi tu ne met pas un 5 gallons sur ta machine pour arroser la lame peut être une perte d'eau merci encore Matthew
good technique wetting one side of the boards so you will get a natural bow in every single piece of wood you cut
"Since we're just having fun today" Come on matt that has to be Every time you mill
@19min18 You should totally cut a door out of that slab and use the surrounding offcut as the moldings!
Great video Matt, always nice to get some woodworking done while I'm doing code work =) and I don't even have to start up my mill. Someone needs to buy you a hose so you don't have to lug buckets of water around.
How else am I going to get my much needed workout!?
That shot from pn top of the log midway through looks like the top of an aircraft carrier!!
thank you Matt
Absolutely beautiful Matt
Beautiful log!! Really enjoyed the video Matt! Thanks!!
Thanks Donny!
So awesome to see. I really wish that I could find stuff like this in Utah at a reasonable price.
Great enthusiasm !
That log was totally worth cutting...wow.
The door is amazing, the frame of it... needs to be much darker, neutral grey.
