Really great work to see. I salvaged about ten hand hewn beams out of an old barn 30 years ago. My parents were building their house in North Georgia at the time. I brought my Dad the beams and he used them for his porch posts. We left all the pegs and joints in them. They look great still.
I'm an old man now but when I was a little kid my Dad built an extra bedroom to the back of the house. The wood was heart pine from a one room schoolhouse built in the late 1800s. The wood was so hard he had to lube the nails with a bar of soap to get them to penetrate without bending. It's still standing today.
The first video I posted on TH-cam was me milling heart pine boards from a large industrial beam, also full of nails. I have found that a combination of metal detector and a small rare earth magnet suspended like a pendulum from a string is an excellent way of pin pointing metal location even under the surface. As far as nail removal, a crescent 19" #56 slide hammer nail remover works great with minimal damage to the wood. Crescent also makes a nail pulling pliers which also works excellent. That heart pine smells great doesn't it!
I use orange/citrus water based cleaner diluted into the tank. I've had good luck keeping the blades clean even with pitchy pine. About 1-2 pints per tank of water. Keep up the great channel!
Nice old growth lumber good find it will make some nice furniture or cabinetry that was a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God Bless
Your reputation must be growing. That's a compliment to be asked to cut those logs. Good work habits will keep you busy. Just make sure you charge a decent price for your work. Wear and tear on your mill, blades and your time is worth something. Good Job.
Around where I live in Texas there are only a couple of places within 100 miles that will cut reclaimed beams , The ones that do charge 100.00 for each blade they have to change on top of the milling price . Usually they will change a blade after every beam that they hit any metal on and the price can skyrocket fast .
Nice work Wes. Shame about the nails but some stunning lumber there. I'm guessing lumber of that age & quality is hard to come by. Stay safe & well - Dave.
God is SO Awesome 🙌 He created everything, & when you look at the "growth rings" on trees & everything - everything He created - AWESOME. And, there's purpose in it all - I'm so grateful for Him. God bless y'all 💞 👍
The guy that comes out to cut our logs to lumber charges 25.00 if he hits a nail.witch is ok. Cause them blades arent cheap and not easy to repair if they are repairable. Real good clip!!
The gentleman was using the wrong end of the mini pry to remove the nails - you use the short end as it will dig deeper, and it has a face to allow striking with a hammer. Also, diagonal cut pliers do an excellent job of gripping and pulling out embedded nails. Given the expense of the equipment I see on these videos having a few vise grips and two wand metal detectors would be a wise investment.
I made furniture out of very similar wood. Run one piece through the sander, change the paper. Cleaned it with Simple Green. Not sure it would work in your lube system. Some of mine had rings so tight had to use a magnifying glass to count them. 50 or more to the inch.
So that log must have been very old when it was made into a beam. Plus, how long has it been a beam. I would really be interested in an estimate of the year the parent tree was cut down.
Wow! I would have that thought after 150 years that it would have dried to the point that gum build up would not have been a problem. So I guess "heart pine" is what I always heard described as "fat lighter" wood which was notorious for burning down houses. So do you normally use diesel fuel for cutting green pine wood?
looking to cut logs into beams to dry and cut to size when i build my home i a year or better. Dont know what sizes of lumber for the build until then and dont have time to cut the lumber but have time to cut beams. Good idea or bad?
The old farm house I grew up in has pine in it just like that and probably just as old. My great grandfather had the house built. My parents live there now. My grandfather said that when he was a boy forest pine as he called it, long leaf pine I guess, was everywhere here in central NC I can still find stumps from all those years ago. They are good for splitting up for fat pine kindling. Good video!
Yuuup, I have to agree - that was some really nice lumber you just sawed, considering it was over 100 years old. Mind you, it was under a house protected from the elements !! Love to see your son again in a future video He's so cute and must be speaking up a storm these days !!
I saw someone on another channel who used Diesel as a blade lubricant. Kept the blade cutting great and clean !! No tar build-up, either on the blade !!
I had a lot of trouble milling some Hickory last fall, maybe I should try diesel on it? It was really sticky. Heated up blades and broke them. Did you charge that fellow for the damaged blades? I had to increase the broken/damaged blade charge last fall. Ron
If that lumber was so rich in resin I'd save all that saw dust. Get as many empty dip cans as you can lay your hands on and pack them full of that resin rich sawdust and you could sell it to folks into the bushcraft thing as a fire starter.
Does the gentleman who own the lumber build furniture for commercial sale? Does appear there's enough wood to keep him busy for a day or two. Thanks for the vid.
See your using diesel fuel lots of people think you use a lot but in a days cutting I just uses a quart or too. It saves on blades and makes better cuts . Looks like you got some great lumber.
@@falllineridge I did. Just go to Amazon and search for "Nail Puller". Look for a Crescent 19" Nail Puller - 56 that's the one I mentioned. Good luck. Dave
150-year-old beams probably cut from 150-year-old tree. What has that tree seen? Yes I would venture the Civil War and perhaps the revolutionary war, it’s all possible.

That's what you call "risk=reward" hit a few nails, but the lumber you get is remarkable. Good video.

What a wonderful way to wake up here in Texas. A cup of coffee and watching the sawmill cut those beautiful boards.

Diesel just makes thing run smoothly. Old Growth Longleaf. Lots of history in those Beams.
Great job with that job. You did a very good job working through beams full of nails.
That wood was beautiful,,,, hope your friend has good luck with his projects.love your video.

Beautiful pine. You gave him something he can work with to make something useful.
That was some hard wood & that little saw worked like a champ.
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
I could almost smell the sweetness of that pine up here in Pennsylvania! Beautiful work! 💪👍
Gorgeous wood - my grandfather's barn was built in the early 1700s it has huge wood beams in it - probably chestnut - it still standing today
Wow!! They don't make them like that anymore, Julie!! That's a treasure!
@@DDL2728 sadly it's no longer in the family - but the Amish family who bought it take good care of it
@@juliehenry6421 It's in good hands 👍💞
ENJOYED, HAVE A GREAT DAY

Good looking beams but for sure your Going to hit a few nails . Love the peg holes . That hand probe
Has saved me a lot of blades .

Wow that's some pretty wood. You've got a gold mine at your feet. Bottle the saw dust and sell it to preppers as fire starter....
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Contract work pays the bills, nothing better .

So I guess "heart pine" is what I always heard described as "fat lighter" wood which was notorious for burning down houses. So do you normally use diesel fuel for cutting green pine wood?
I do now! Works great, and it doesn't take much at all.

bottom thick boards with the nails, use them as mantle boards
Nice work! What type blades are you using on your sawmill?
Just the standard 10 degree Wood Mizer doublehard.
Os veios dessa madeira são incriveis
Sim, ele é!
Great video again 👊🏼👊🏼🙋♂️
Where are you located at ?
Wes is in Georgia.
The old farm house I grew up in has pine in it just like that and probably just as old. My great grandfather had the house built. My parents live there now.

Yes, I charged some extra for the blades.

will that dry out eventually ? or it just stays sappy ?
Sap can be crystalized if dried in a kiln but it does not dry and evaporate
like green wood does.
How many blades did you go through?
Does the diesel fuel leave a residual smell on the lumber?
Would those beams be worth more not cut?
Guess it depends on what you want to use them for. He wants to make furniture, so to him they're worth more cut.
Wesley, do you watch the TV program "Barnwood Builders"?
Does the gentleman who own the lumber build furniture for commercial sale? Does appear there's enough wood to keep him busy for a day or two. Thanks for the vid.
I think it's mostly a hobby for him.
👍👍
Pity about the nails, but just look at that beautiful timber, I'd risk for timber like that, wow.
Some use Pine-Sol, it lubricates and cleans.
Why not cut 2 beams side by side?
Why don't you have a metal band saw blade on hand for wood with nails in it ?
Diesel in your tank sounds riskey if you hit a nail... will it spark and ignite the diesel...
Diesel is not very flamable and is actually hard to ignite
You can actually throw a lit match into diesel and it will be extinguished. Diesel is an oil and does not vapourise like petrol does.
I have had no problems with it keeps my blades running clean . I do wipe down the inside of my housing tends to make saw dust stick.
Now try mixing diesel and bar oil 50/50 I usually go for the thickest bar oil I can find
See your using diesel fuel lots of people think you use a lot but in a days cutting I just uses a quart or too.
It saves on blades and makes better cuts . Looks like you got some great lumber.
I'm barely using any at all. It's a game changer. Appreciate the tip.
Ray, I have an LT 40 and my drip system doesn’t seem to work with diesel. Is yours a gravity drip system?
Yes it’s a gravity drip.
should get a carbide blade and never worry about nails It would be worth it for your friend to buy a carbide blade for you
I use generic pinesol from the Dollar Store
Forgot..... the nail puller (below) is very FAST!
Did you post a link? It did not show up.
@@falllineridge Only the original content poster can add links on you tube. To stop people spamming links to sales sites I believe.

Nails in 1872. Yeah I think so
