    I just recently branched out into sawmill videos and found your channel. Great presentation. It's cool to watch older videos and seeing you so happy at having 14K subscribers. Now 4 years later it's 344K and this video has 14M views. You deserve this good fortune.

    I've watched a few different channels since stumbling on this subject and I think what I like about you is that you don't have the top of the line equipment. You just have the basics, which allows you to be proud of "doing it yourself," I mean how can you be proud when some machine does all the work for you like mechanically rotating the log for you, moves itself down the log etc. I'd rather be able to say, "I did it" Kudos. 👍👍👍👍👍 PS I love the outtakes.
