      Emerald has demonstrated in other videos that virtually none of the log is thrown away after milling, including the sawdust. They operate under a sustainability and no waste model.

      in the woodworking magazines,I see ads for "project packs" of S2S lumber of varying types,the mills selling off usable odds and ends. At my local Woodcraft store,I always go thru the scrap bins for useful small pieces of hardwood,they sell it by the pound. Half the time,I don't even know what type of wood i'm buying,just that I like the color and size.

    All my slabs go into my campfire pit, as I'm just a hobbyist sawyer at this point. I just finished moving my LT40 to a new bench I built. It has a small lower road running parallel to the mill above. My new system will be to slide the slabs directly off the mill down into the bed of my pickup. Then when I'm done milling for the day, I will back my truck up to my campfire wood pile and lop the slabs up, sliding them out as I cut. The goal is for me to handle the slabs as little as possible.

    Waste not want not. I'm 65 and I remember my grandma using that phrase 55 years ago, she was about 70 at the time, that theory has proven to be correct over the years. I know of a lumber company not far from me that was careless, abused and didn't maintain their machines, as in no or very little maintenance, twice a year they would burn a "scrap pile" of wood with a huge bon fire in the spring and beginning of winter. They started out with nice machinery, some of their trucks had been township dump trucks and were part of scheduled replacement, not because of breaking down. They repaint them green and never get washed or probably maintained again. Anywho, they closed. I saw a low boy picking up"repoing" the beat up newer machinery and the rest is sitting there to rot. You all are taking all the right measures to prevent that 😊. Have a good weekend!

    Thanks, yes we did have a great Thanksgiving. For years there was a sawmill just down the road from us. While my mom was living she would take my old truck and load it up with full length slabs. Then on the weekend I would saw them to size for her wood stove. That's the great thing about wood, even if ya just pile it up in the forest and let it rot, it doesn't go to waste. Nature reclaims all the energy contained in it, even the bark. Thanks for the video. 🙂

    I get lots of Douglas fir slabs from my neighbor who installs hardwood floors. Sometimes his customers will have flooring milled from their own trees, and there are lots of slabs left over. If the slabs are stacked nice I like how easy it is just to cut through the whole stack with a chainsaw. Customers love the firewood from slabs, fir one thing they stack really tight in a truck so its a good deal for them. Cedar slabs are easily had and those are great for turning into kindling...

But yeah I smoked beef fajitas lamb breast, stake all last night & Sautèe snap beans & made shape cheddar mashed potatoes with homemade brown gravy meals for the week nothing out of the norm.
    I was wondering about that *(Chain)* does the boss or Grand Dad wax it every 4 weeks? Bc I heard it's good to do bicycle chains not sure it is the same or good to do. Boil chain then dip in wax for 20 minutes. Not sure how much differents it would make. This Co should take on some inturn journeymen to do that kind of practice to always have maintenance done the bars, mill saws, gear ⚙️ chains, engine maintenance. Before our company took when we worked for heavy equipment jobs we flip the cab overs maintenance the trucks & equipment + I do extra so my equipment didn't fail like other workers back ups did. In my few companies that is our standards for rookies. Peace in the middle east

    Looking at your pile of slab wood there appears to be some fairly substantial pieces. Have you ever considered processing selected pieces further for sale to the home woodworker or wood turner? Pieces even as small as 3" X 3/4" can be used for making toys etc.

    • @johnmalecki713
      @johnmalecki713 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I own a Woodmizer also.
      To do what you suggest is a waste of time for the sawmill IMO. When I first bought mine I tried to salvage every inch of the log.
      Most of those narrow pieces got picked over and would not sell.
      Now I make sure I take a deeper opening cut to ensure my first board is at least 4" wide between the bark.
      Slab wood sells by the pick up load. I'll load till you tell me to stop.
      I'm small potatoes to LCLY though.

      I agree. There is some really good oak furniture wood being turned into firewood here.

      If they turn it to firewood then they know what they are doing that is best for them and their profits

      ​@@robertgrey5993One thing to remember is while lots of people in the comments have ideas, sometimes even based on their own experience, Not everybody has the same third party companies around them.
      For example, I believe they did comment that they send some stuff to a factory whether it's sawdust, for example, but if they only have one factory within a reasonable distance, then they only have so much that they can profitably turn in to sawdust.
      If they don't have a lot of woodworking companies around or hobbiest, willing to pay the price. Then for them firewood is better because they already sell everything they make every year.
      I dont know the geography of their area but they seem to be far from even a small city or industry. Anything over 45 minutes drive and they have much less access to opportunities. But that's just my guess with them being in the mountains and their typical drive to drop off firewood etc...
      Even their partnerships that I do know about seem to be with companies over an hour away.

    Good one emerald , the mill I worked at all the slabs or off cuts were sent of to the chipper plant to be chumped down into chips then they would mix it with a really strong resin then into a pressurised kiln where it will harden to form what we call sheets of particle board .....❤😊

    You know that some of those thicker slabs could make another pass through the mill and generate some extra stickers if you need them.

      They have left it there for a reason

      There is always more wood for stickers. Because the stickers seem to walk off with the lumber, lets make the stickers with the pine and hemlock slabs. Oak is premium firewood.

    Hi Emerald, great video as always. Those floppy slabs are a bit more labor intensive but what a great way to cut down on waste. What do you do with your sawdust? I have used saw dust as a absorbent before. Old time butcher shops around here still put 2 to 4" on the floors where they saw and cutup the meat. Smells fantastic in there. Hi Jade. You all have a wonderful weekend.

      Last I knew they were sending the saw dust out to be horse bedding and then getting it back with horse poo in it to make their various soil mixes!

    I do not remember seeing this machine that is cutting the odd shaped wood into firewood.
    Could the Little Old Log Lady please tell us more about this new machine?

    • @scottsoper
      @scottsoper 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is not a new machine. It is a Bells 2000 firewood processor. Bells was taken over by Eastonmade. Andrew Easton has a lot of TH-cam videos on his firewood processors and splitters. All the new Eastonmade firewood processors are better than the old Bells 2000. However the Bells 2000 is a vary good machine and one LCLY has should be kept even after buying the two additional firewood processors that I think they should be planning on getting. There is a place like this 🔍 in the same line as "videos" "shorts" :: type in Bells 2000 and a number of videos will come up.

    Hmm 10% off everything but Carhartt, who went 70% off their quality 10 years ago... Ironically, they charge more.

    Is that a Dyna firewood processor or an Eastonmade?
