I cut veneer on a big lathe and we hit all sorts of stuff in logs. Maple syrup taps, nails, screws, bullets. But we've hit even worse things that really mess up a knife. Ceramic wire insulation, arrow heads, bolts, and barbed wire that runs through the whole log. A couple of weeks ago I hit what I thought was a bolt but after I chopped it out we found out it was a drill bit. And it didn't just take a giant chunk out of the knife, it took a piece off of the nose bar. It makes me wonder why we don't invest in a metal detector for the logs. We have one for the wood chipper.
I use a pump action sprayer for treating fencing timber. Spray it on in lovely thick ways and brush away any runs with a paintbrush like the little boy was using. :) Overall it's the least messy way to go.
As that tree grew around the wire the bark that was trapped between the wires couldn't grow out, so it is still there, and the tree gradually grew around it! I cut many of these 'farm yard' trees in west Nebraska years ago, and nails from tree houses were the main problem we had. I used a metal detector to scan every log that came from a yard, and that saved me a lot of grief, as a little while spent digging out nails saved many blades. Loved my sawmill, and wish I could still do it as I love wood, and was a professional cabinet maker for 35 years, made many kitchens from lumber that I milled on my WoodMizer, and dried in my solar shed kiln on the farm!
I just have to say, you have the Most Chill cat I have ever seen!!! Your children are precious! Love your channel. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your family.
Well, cats are not known for being the smartest of animals. If I were working with heavy stuff like that I'd make sure no pets were in the vicinity. Then again, that's me.
A willow tree died on our farm, had to be cut down, leaning towards house. I stopped to talk to the man. Told him about the chainlink chain embedded in three. He was very appreciative I told him. The tree came down no problems. Cutting up the tree they found the chain a foot into the tree. Be safe, help workers stay safe.
I love the way you are showing from all the differant viewing angles ! Gives us more entertainment and idea. Of what is involved in sawing ! Good show !
I like the close-up shots that you provide and the detail you go into without being boringKeep up the good work look forward to your videos all the time
I've been wondering if you got those logs from my farm in W. Tn. , I had a bunch of pine trees cut down in my back yard and the guy took them down at about 8 ft. lengths and one had that same black wire grown in it . The people that had the place before us tied a wire to the tree ,the wire went to well house that was behind it . I don't know but the logs look familier .
That reminds me of a story my dad told me. His company needed to buy a lot of wood for a construction and they found this seller who had INCREDIBLE prices and of course they bought it, so they had tonnes upon tonnes of trees imported from Russia to Sweden and when they sent them to get everything cut down to size they ran into the problem of the trees being full of shrapnel and bullets. Apparently the trees had been surrounding a military gun range in Russia and when they needed to clear the area for construction they decided to sell the trees off at a cheap price. So in the end the company my dad worked for lost millions to this useless wood plus the damages to the machine used to try and cut it to shape. Edit: Should clarify that the range hadent been used for some time so the trees had healed and looked completely fine on the outside but the inside was more metal than wood lol
I'm not into woodwork, never have been, never even touched planks that are that big. But now I want to do something with wood. Thanks, TH-cam Recommended Feed!
When I heard your voice I thought it was me talking. There's no doubt about who's that little fellas daddy is. He looks just like you. I wish I had a sawmill like that and a tractor too. My father was a lumberjack in his early days. Granddaddy, Dad, and his brother my Uncle cut trees, mainly heart pine, for a living during the nineteen thirties. My great Uncle ran the sawmill. They climbed trees, and cut with crosscut saws and hauled the logs out with mules. That was a tough lifestyle but they did what they did to survive. They were also farmers.
I know this is 2 years old, but I just started watching your channel. I gotta say this... I love the cedar on the mill, it looks like a wall of bacon!! 😋
It's neat to see your kitties helping too. I have done a lot of woodturning. One of my cats just loved being near the action whenever I was processing or turning the wood.
I don't believe I have ever seen a cat so absolutely chilled-out in my lifetime is he or she hard-of-hearing by chance? but more importantly among the hundreds of comments I could leave... your little man helper is most definitely a precious thing best wishes to you and your family during this crazy time!
Fall Line Ridge sorry you hit nails but so glad to see you cut the boards the pine had such pretty wood grain will make pretty house siding. Was glad to see your wife and your son just made my day. And putting the finish on the beautiful cedar on the side of the shed. Thanks for the nice video all be blessed with loving care and grace.
9:18:. "We're in to deep to quit now".... If I had a dime for every time I uttered that phrase🤨. I really appreciate you showing even the challenges! Great job 👍
You know I came along I was pretty much bummed out but thank you for making me feel better, I like to see people who know what there doing ,, and like to teach somebody something.. well thank you 🙏 blessings .. Stay safe and good luck ...👍🍀
That stain really brings out the color of the siding! If you tie a string around a piece of grass it will move up on the grass as it grows, if you tie a string around a tree it'll remain in the same spot but get absorbed into the tree as it grows. Urban and suburban wood as well as fence rows are bad about having stuff in the logs, many mills won't even take them. Almost all have had signs nailed to them or fences attached and grown over. It was common during electrification and even later to attach power and phone lines to live trees. Those were often left when the power lines were finished. Sometimes glass insulators are found buried in logs. Many a house or farm ran electricity to an out building or yard light by nailing to a tree, I'll bet that's what yours was. I was working in a sawmill years ago when the head rig hit a horseshoe embedded in a log, sheered the teeth off from the circle saw and sent them through the mill roof and walls like bullets. I ran into a piece of glass in a log I was slabbing for a log house one time. Must have been a windshield from a Model T stuck in a check in the tree then grown over.
Tip: A broom handle(screw in type, whether a push broom or the house broom), will fit on your paint roller. Even the hollow car wash wands have the same thread, those make nice adjustable paint roller handles.
Thank goodness you didn't have a new blade in the saw, that would have been expensive. Your little boy is showing great promise as a helping hand, the cat to like to join in. Not all doom and gloom as you said, you got some lovely boards, happy days.
Great job conquerering the log! It looked like some beautiful straight grain pine. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing your dear wife and son come out to help you with the wood sealing. You should try a painters pole - it can help with the efficiency! Keep up the great work brother.
Well I run a cooks sawmill and run the 7 degree supersharp blade. The gullet and the set of the tooth is why you are having less dust on your boards. I sharpen and set all my blades with cooks equipment, I believe you will enjoy sawing more but with less dust or as the cook brothers say grits. I have used woodmizer blades just didn't like all the dust left on my boards.
An old-timer once told me of a story where a local mill was sawing and the blade hit a cannon ball and the blade broke off and sawwed itself through the ceiling and spun until it stopped.
I posted your video demonstrating the Cooks Cat Claw sharpener on their Facebook page. I'm glad they sent you the Super Sharp blade to try. That blade worked very well.
Good bunch of comments from your fan club. Really enjoy your work and video filming abilities. Probably a lot of others have noted your personal presentation - which is really good. A pleasure to hear your voice quality in association with the type of work involved. Everything fits as one would anticipate - almost a 'made in Hollywood program'. Thanks.
Iv seen worse up at wipsaw bc canada there is this one area that used to be a core sample camp at some point they had a transformer blow up and all the trees around it are full of sheet metal from it literally full
Thank you for your video on cutting up the log with all the metal in it, very interesting. As I was watching I noticed you walking on your sawdust pile. Is it possible to put a longer discharge shoot on the saw or would that get in your way.
Congratulations on the yield from that log. Also, that's sure beautiful siding on your mill house. It's really the... well, it stinks, having to rip 16D nails. I took three nice looking elm logs, yard trees, to a sawyer running a carbide insert tipped circle saw about 40 years ago. When I returned to settle up he says, "I'll cut no more of your pet trees."
Why did you turn it ? If the log was left sitting the way it was at 12:02, you would of had many cuts with no wires in it. With one thick cut to get on both sides of the wire. Did I miss something?
Thought so too! When he said I think I'm gonna flip it & see how deep these go - sounds like reasonable plan of action, I was like WHAT??? I mean why cut around something when you can cut through it, SMDH!!! After all it's only for the siding on his house.
I looked for a comment like this at this point in the video cause I'm wondering I can't be the only one thinking this, then I watched the rest of the video. Turns out the way the nails were driven into the tree all in the same direction & area they were all in the same plane of the log & he could have indeed cut around them. Oh well, to each there own. At least he got some new blades out of the deal.
how you like them knives pliers? iv been using them in the avn industry for the past 6 yrs, and absolutely love mine. i just bought another set of the plier wrenches (flat jaw slip joints), which gives me 2 of the 12", 10" 7", 5" and my baby 3". they are the "all 16th" pliers.
Good thing you kept going. That made some beautiful siding. A friend of mine has a Cook's sawmill. That thing is a heavy duty beast. Your sawmill shed looks great. What sealant did you use? Thanks.
I use a different metal detector like the ones used on the beach. I bought it for finding my survey markers. It detects wires at least 12 inches underground. I use it now before I plow trenches. So far it has been good at spotting nails and those threaded eye bolts. I don't know how deep it would detect in wood. So far most of what I have found is in the first few inches. Thanks for the video as always.
Boy what the heck were they nailing there? I didn’t know the metal detector didn’t work that well on a log. That’s really nice they sent you some blades.
If that is the worst metal you have ever found you have been doing great. Just a note in 1976 I was working at a commercial circular saw mill. One day we hit a shot gun in the middle of a giant red oak log. It cause the carriage to jump off its tracks and totally ruined the blade. We guess that some hunter leaned his gun against a tree and lost it and 60 or 70 yeas later we found it.
@MsBizzyGurl Hard to say how it happened but it was there. One thing we thought was if he set it in the crotch to keep it off the ground. Is that what you meant by cleft?

It is 4 am and instead of being asleep I watched this man spend 30 minutes cutting a log. Worth it tbh
I would definately be interested in a maintenance video on the sawmill whenever it comes time
David Barron Thanks for the video idea!
Cedar looks great with the protection on it. Your Little boy was having fun. Ha!! Got to love that cat. 😁
loved the kids getting involved, teaches skills that they can use later in life.
if you're gonna metal detect a tree, I think you'd need a metal detector with high range... something like the ones treasure hunters use.
That reminds me of a story my dad told me.

Boy what the heck were they nailing there? I didn’t know the metal detector didn’t work that well on a log. That’s really nice they sent you some blades.
I think the little guy in the black hat needs a raise he is a hard worker! God bless

If that is the worst metal you have ever found you have been doing great. Just a note in 1976 I was working at a commercial circular saw mill. One day we hit a shot gun in the middle of a giant red oak log. It cause the carriage to jump off its tracks and totally ruined the blade. We guess that some hunter leaned his gun against a tree and lost it and 60 or 70 yeas later we found it.
@MsBizzyGurl Hard to say how it happened but it was there. One thing we thought was if he set it in the crotch to keep it off the ground. Is that what you meant by cleft?
Jeff Trag Wow!
Nice high density pine logs. There will look great on ya'll house! God Bless.
I like your helper!
A sawmiller listed things he'd found in logs in years of milling. The list included various animals and an anvil or two.
I found a railroad spike in a big oak. Found it with a brand new Oregon chain.
