It is so cool to see your enthousiasm for wacky logs that other mills often consider too troublesome or too low in quality. You see the beauty in every piece of tree
I must be goofy but I love watching logs get cut up! I’m an old lady enjoying the possibilities for the wood. I have an antique dresser made of cherry 🍒. I love the patina it’s gotten over the years. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Matt you’re fabulous at what you do.
I have terrible arthritis in my knees and the past few days have not been good. Watching this video was a welcome distraction from the pain. Thanks for posting Matt.
I am a middle age lady that finds your videos really relaxing to watch. Love seeing the beauty of the wood when you drench the boards with water. This video really showed how close your neighbors are located. I would think at times they did not find the sounds coming from your yard so relaxing and will be glad when you move the saw mill to your new property. Have a great 2021
I had an agreement with a neighbor that used to saw logs. Make all the noise you want, I’ll even help clean up, but I get some bark cut for firewood. Never paid for firewood for 2 years, not until another neighbour complained to the city, not about the noise, but all of the cut boards in his yard.
That was awesome watching you turn all those logs into usable milled lumber !! Thanks for sharing with us Matt. I know you’ll be glad to get everything moved out to your new property and not be in such tight quarters. Be safe and have fun. 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Should call this video, "Matt Unplugged." I should be firing up my first and brand new sawmill today! Big day! Thanks Matt for sawing some mere mortal logs others of us are relegated to mill. Every log is perfect just the way it is. Happy New Year!
Matthew I love watching you work. Your love for wood is beautiful. May you always succeed and love every second. The old maple tree limb you all cut was the best.👏👏
The interior of most of the logs I've seen you cut have amazing patterns. It makes me think of all the projects I could do with access to that kind of wood.
Matt has a little attitude. Glad you had a good day!!!! It was fun listening to you harass John. Missed the LIVE today, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your lovely family. :)
What is so inspiring is that your techniques get more and more sophisticated over the years. P.S. One sawer when cutting cedar actually collects the sawdust and sells it.
Those walnut boards will make a nice table top (for John)--could really see the purple color on the grain-end. Nice day for sawing logs. John is pretty good with a camera, and Matt is aces on the bandsaw mill.
Thus us my absolute favorite episode of all> Awesome wood and tons of rapport and humor. Great combination of wood and people. Thank you for making my day today!
Thanks Matt & Lindsay , you guys help make this past year tolerable . You guys have a great New Year as well . That Cherrie log came from Michigan , there are a lot of hidden treasures like that one that people have growing in there yards , mostly in the middle of the state ( around the counties that I live in. )
One of the few videos that I watch all the way through. Like the fact that you do the weird logs. Some very nice slabs out of the cherry. Would like to see the guitars after he gets them done. Keep it up. Have a wonderful New Year.
I think he had other things he wanted or needed to do that day but just couldn't say no. And then they showed up with a lot of logs and no idea of how they wanted them cut or what they were going to be used for which makes it even more difficult for Matt. I sure hope they made it worth his while.
I don't think it was the small logs as much as it was Jon had no clue what he wanted to get from the logs. I think Matt knew all this wood would be brought home and wasted by numerous mistakes made when working with the wood he spent time and energy cutting up
@@tylersmith9868 seeing into the furture eh? I have teak shelves and I love them. Its just shelves and they remind me of where they came from. I see nothing wrong with making shelves. I cant say what Matt was thinking unless he says it on the video , writes it in the description or in a comment.
Watching you cut those lots into useable lumber for Jon makes me wish we lived closer. There are a lot of folks in the area who cut and sell slabs, etc., but they are NOT woodworkers. They are doing this for money, which is okay. But unlike the woodworker, they don't understand the needs of the woodworker and don't know how to work with them. It's made it difficult getting the wood I need for specific projects. You plainly know how to cut wood for a woodworker. Regards, Dave
I totally enjoy your channel. Your enthusiasm for what you do should encourage others to do the things they enjoy. I will start traveling early this year. I will try to visit your area. Grandpa Jack
34:24 Matthew needs a new bucket. Let’s all send him a bucket, best one wins the honour of being used for the water toss, the rest will kickstart his new bucket business. #1000bucketsformatt
I'm addicted to you videos!! I don't care what the subject is they are entertaining and informative. You are one clever and knowledgeable guy!!!!! I'm an 80 year old gal and wish that I had studied carpentry instead of going to school for clothing design. In my day "girls"
Been watching on and off as time permits. Enjoy your videos and workmanship. I've been doing some alaskan machine milling myself and enjoy it but time and work intensive.
I'm sure it's been talked about, but I can't understand that the neighbours haven't thrown you out years ago hahaha!!!!! Looking forward to following you on your new 'Patch'. I love the new place, just what I would love!!!! Happy New Year
Normally when you talk about the 2-3ft wide boards I can't even imagine them, with these "tiny" pieces you're getting pieces that are still 6-10in wider than the typical board I have access to! I definitely have to visit the eastern US sometime just to see this massive stuff!
Hey Matt........what you see as little sticks I see lots of sofa tables and serving trays, those type of things I can do. Happy New Year to you and your family
That was really good ! The sawmill that I use here in Vietnam has a big sacrificial slab that they pound spikes into to keep the smaller pieces from moving around they just pound in a couple spikes and then pull them out with a crowbar
Ok, so I've got a few comments on this highly entertaining video. 1) "I like the smell of cherry, just wait til we get to the crotch" 2) That's a sand castle beach bucket for your son, not an Armorseal bucket, 3) Best shot ever of rolling the 12' log all the way across the saw bed - saw it coming and laughed out loud the whole way across. 4) your Vermeer really showed it's chops on this day - you probably got 4 or 5 times the lumber sawed than you would have without it - you made a brilliant purchase. 5) love to see lots of work and lots of fun taking place at the same time. This was a great episode to watch after a full day of turning cherry.
Hope your New Year is off to a great start!
Michigan Cherry is the best! 😉
I’m building my new shop. It’s still small ( 8,1 x 5,3 m with 2,7 m ceiling )but bigger than my previous one. :)
That was a VERY strong yeld! I think John snuck in one of your logs when you wasn't looking. 😂

Hi Theresa, you are as goofy as everybody who watches the channel :)
Cheers!
Hi Theresa. I’m 82 yr. Old widow and I love watching these videos. The different woods are gorgeous.
Yes. Old lady here wishing I could get some of that wood. The possibilities are endless. Beautiful wood.
I have terrible arthritis in my knees and the past few days have not been good. Watching this video was a welcome distraction from the pain. Thanks for posting Matt.

My neighbors who would frequently sit out in their lawn chairs and watch me work found it relaxing. Hope you have a wonderful year!

Really enjoy your comments and the way you enjoy what your doing.

Loved listening to Matt talk non-stop. I wish I could hang out with him for a day...
thanks Matt for making stuff that makes my day feel like somewhere someone has a sort of normal life
Much appreciated, Tyler!
Jon did a nice job filming this.
If he didn't he wouldn't have contributed at all
That was awesome watching you turn all those logs into usable milled lumber !! Thanks for sharing with us Matt. I know you’ll be glad to get everything moved out to your new property and not be in such tight quarters. Be safe and have fun. 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man, that was one load of beautiful wood. Made me drool thinking of that straight Cherry making 40 inch panels with just two boards.
That's some nice material, always good to see it not rot or turn into firewood
Loved the comment about the smell. Fresh cherry smells wonderful. Nice work and just beautiful boards.
Should call this video, "Matt Unplugged." I should be firing up my first and brand new sawmill today! Big day! Thanks Matt for sawing some mere mortal logs others of us are relegated to mill. Every log is perfect just the way it is. Happy New Year!
That’s awesome! Have fun!
Happy 2022, Matt. I can't believe I'm spending hours watching you saw 4/4, 8/4 and yet, I can't stop.
Matthew I love watching you work. Your love for wood is beautiful. May you always succeed and love every second. The old maple tree limb you all cut was the best.👏👏
The interior of most of the logs I've seen you cut have amazing patterns. It makes me think of all the projects I could do with access to that kind of wood.
Amen
Wow, some really beautiful stuff in those logs, especially that guitar body slab. Really enjoyed this one!
Matt has a little attitude. Glad you had a good day!!!! It was fun listening to you harass John. Missed the LIVE today, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your lovely family. :)
How I enjoyed that. To see each look bring out another colour/forms, beautiful. Thanks guys.💕
Also, I love the cinematic approach! Helps to see a different side of you and your work!
Great video . That's a lot of wood ! At least y'all got to have some laugh's and Jon's father got to work more than he expected .
Matt: "Time to add a new bucket to my bucket list."
"Jon is the camera. The camera is Jon" ... said by someone with his own picture on his sweatshirt. The sweatshirt is Matt. Matt is the sweatshirt.
Hahahaha this is very true
L
Love the camera work! Thanks, Jon (2/1/21)
The tables and other projects in the first stages; lovely! Dreams are made of this hard work! Thanks
Wood is like opening a treasure chest, you had some unique pieces. Enjoyed watching you work.
One thing about this fella, he’s happy! I wish I was as happy as this guy!
Agreed.
What is so inspiring is that your techniques get more and more sophisticated over the years.
P.S. One sawer when cutting cedar actually collects the sawdust and sells it.
Would love to see Jon's Dad's workshop and what he does with that wood.
That was a pot full with an aching shoulder day WOW what a load. Beautiful wood!
That last crotch would have made a great bowl for someone who turned bowls, those slabs and some acrylic would make some great tables
WOW, the table he will get out of that tree will be awesome!!
Great video.
I really enjoy your knowledge, your smile and how well you interact with the camera.
Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing that, happy new year for and to All
Great video, and great looking wood. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Really enjoyed the walnut cuts!
Those walnut boards will make a nice table top (for John)--could really see the purple color on the grain-end. Nice day for sawing logs. John is pretty good with a camera, and Matt is aces on the bandsaw mill.
I love your apparent innocent decency. I hope it never diminishes with your inevitable success.
I had fun, thank you, and Happy New Year!
Wood envy!!! And what a wood workout. Whew! And good job, Jon.
Thus us my absolute favorite episode of all> Awesome wood and tons of rapport and humor. Great combination of wood and people. Thank you for making my day today!
"It's all punky and mushy but look at the color." Matt loves his work!
I liked the last one best! Beautiful!
The last walnut one that is!
I’ve watched about 60 of your vids and this is the first one where you’re cocky.
You seem to be having fun and it’s fun to watch.
Great colour out of that dark walnut and cherry!
Matt showing off his Canadian ball busting roots today
Thanks Matt & Lindsay , you guys help make this past year tolerable . You guys have a great New Year as well .

Matt was pretty good at pretending to not mind sawing these logs.
I agree. Matt was not a happy camper.
I think he had other things he wanted or needed to do that day but just couldn't say no. And then they showed up with a lot of logs and no idea of how they wanted them cut or what they were going to be used for which makes it even more difficult for Matt. I sure hope they made it worth his while.
Rea)y a lot of fun watching slabs appear and sense of humor to boot ! ! !, thanks
“Jon is the camera, the camera is Jon” made me laugh earned you a solid like!
There was much snarkiness at the mill that day. Tiny logs bring that out in the owner/operator.
Came for the milling. Stayed to hear Matt mock Jon incessantly.
How far did Jon drive for all the snark?
I don't think it was the small logs as much as it was Jon had no clue what he wanted to get from the logs. I think Matt knew all this wood would be brought home and wasted by numerous mistakes made when working with the wood he spent time and energy cutting up

I love to hear your mill run!....
I agree - very fun to watch. The wood is fascinating! Always enjoy your videos. Happy New Year!
When the last log rolled off the other side I knew this was a long day. There was some very interesting pieces in that trailer.

Very enjoyable to watch. Good way to start 2021!
thank you Matt. have a great new year to you and yours
Thanks Walter; you too!
Happy New year Matt, love your work!
Thank you!
Great start of the new year with this video, Matt. You are very entertaining. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Can’t believe he mills logs living in a neighborhood. Bet the neighbors love him!
Matt you need definitely a new bucket! it's look like you have lost your magic touch with water splashes 🤣 happy new year you and family from Italy ✌️
Every worthwhile project requires a blood sacrifice...
I just love honest hard physical work - just like Jon, I could watch it all day! ;)
Hahahaha
Happy New Year of Hope in 2021. Thanks for sharing.
A good video of a great day sawing with friends. Does not get much better than that. Nice cherry log. Wish our cherry in Texas was that large.
I'm addicted to you videos!! I don't care what the subject is they are entertaining and informative. You are one clever and knowledgeable guy!!!!! I'm an 80 year old gal and wish that I had studied carpentry instead of going to school for clothing design. In my day "girls"
I hope we get to see some guitars in the future!
A lot of cool toys. Lucky man.
I think the cherry grain color is awesome! ME LIKEY :)
Good clamp. I'll bet you have a lot of fun with your Bobcat-like rig.
Your neighbors must just love you.
Great job Mat!, Some really beautiful Cuts. Love the clear cherry!...But the crotch cuts on the Oak,,,Beautiful markings!
Been watching on and off as time permits. Enjoy your videos and workmanship. I've been doing some alaskan machine milling myself and enjoy it but time and work intensive.
Thanks!
Love the camaraderie. Beautiful boards.
😄
I'm sure it's been talked about, but I can't understand that the neighbours haven't thrown you out years ago hahaha!!!!! Looking forward to following you on your new 'Patch'. I love the new place, just what I would love!!!! Happy New Year
Great show... you to John...
Nice video Matt. Happy New Year !
I personally like the extra snarky and sarcastic Matt. I knew there was more than one reason why I like watching your content!💥💥💥
Ha! Thanks Greg!
I AGREE!!
I saw some mineral figured poplar on out of the woods today and boy would I like some of that for a guitar body!
Oh, you're the master! Dork
Normally when you talk about the 2-3ft wide boards I can't even imagine them, with these "tiny" pieces you're getting pieces that are still 6-10in wider than the typical board I have access to! I definitely have to visit the eastern US sometime just to see this massive stuff!
Love watching the results
Happy 2021 Matt.
1ST Time iv watched this channel and he is 1 of the 1st wearing chain saw protective gear including all i could think off great vidio thanks
More hour-long sawmilling vids, please!
Hey Matt........what you see as little sticks I see lots of sofa tables and serving trays, those type of things I can do. Happy New Year to you and your family
Matt that is some very nice Cherry and by the way I think you've built yourself a beautiful life.
Thank you!
Happy New Year ! Great video !
I enjoyed watching you’re videos cutting Log
I'm glad you no longer us the drill for the cable. The hand crank allows a much better feel for how the saw is operating.
I love cherry wood, one of my current projects is with cherry! Walnut isn't bad either...
That was really good ! The sawmill that I use here in Vietnam has a big sacrificial slab that they pound spikes into to keep the smaller pieces from moving around they just pound in a couple spikes and then pull them out with a crowbar
That log lifter thing is cool Matt.

That is some really nice cherry lumber.
