Great vid Emerald. I would say 13 logs in like 5 hours is pretty good especially in what appeared to be inclement weather. A little mountain fog and mist. The dynamic duo of Emerald and Jade did a fantastic job.
Great Answer .. Safety is Upper Most .. Carry On Ladies...
Hey, the sound works now!
Emerald and Jade, the master sawyer duo. You girls work so well together and get the job done. You are amazing to watch, like a well-oiled machine and poetry in motion. Great job girls.
I'm very impressed with the mill. I always thought they were for hobbies but it's a serious mill. It's amazing you cut that much with just two of you.
It's not the tools used but the user of the tools! And she is a great user. Well trained and experienced at her job.
Right. Fake News
You young sisters make it look easy... and without gloves. I love this, and you're both setting a great example for possibly more women to follow and showing anything is possible. Sharing...
You both kinda remind me of my two daughters. Well done! 💫
🐻💞🐕🍂🎃☕🔥🍁
real Troopers rare in society today gr8 Mom ... gr8 Dad...and grandpa too ... impressive
@@rorymunroe3771 Don't forget young Judah, who it seems works more with the firewood!
@@dcinpa1134 absolutely included from the start..and growing fast..
Thanks!
Sorry guys I used up all the sound today, go and re watch some past videos and mention your favorites.
Well done!! Thanks for showing us hard work. There is less and less of that in our society today. Liked the music and no advertising.
Surely production should be measured by how long the flask of coffee lasts to the number of logs sawn
Oh, absolutely. No coffee, no workee...
Sound was great. Nice information.
I subbed in my own song to add a little life to the activities. I chose "Boots Randolph Yakety Sax" and started the song as soon as the clock started.
You guys 😎 are kicking out a very high volume of wood product just from watching the videos.. I am sure it's a higher level than can be seen from the videos.... I commend you,,and not to mention the videos content and all that Intel's.... thanks 😎
Nice teamwork! You cut a lot of lumber in 5 hours. I really enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work!
LOL ... "How many Logs a day?" ... that's like asking "How long is a piece of Rope?" ... just like with this day ... hit a nail, blade replacement and cutting only 4x4 and 2x4 vs 150 1x5 ... but you both did a great job ... and that's what counts. I have no idea why I watch "Sawmill" videos but know it is relaxing ... thanks from the French Riviera y'all !
So when does the 1st Lumber Capital Log Yard Calendar come out?
Little Emerald seems to be tired and what is this strange pendant ?
"Silent Movies" too cool.
You ladies are amazing you run the mill split firewood and work good together you should try and talk to your dad about putting a live deck for the sawmill have a day and be safe
I'm so proud of this American family! Making an honest living running a business every day. The whole family involved. Such a great story. Hang in there and keep at it.
Great Videos. Lot of work to make these videos. Lot of Hard Work to run a business and make a living from it. You folks are so intelligent and hard working!! I Hope these Videos help y’all prosper in multiple ways! Thanks for Sharing your lives with us. Shout out from North Alabama.
Sounds back 😀
How many cut? All of them. Rock on!🇺🇸
Hi from Deep South Texas ❤
Awesome Video as always. That's a lot of logs to get through in roughly 5hrs. Impressive 👍.
Another great show keep er coming!
It looks like a good day of work to me.
Off topic
One of my favorite Thin Lizzy songs is “Emerald” ! It goes fantastically with your unconquerable soul tattoo , do you ever listen to it . Asking for a friend ! ❤🙏
I was impressed with what you videoed and how good it looked.
I spent 21 years in the sawmills very impressed 👍
Great teamwork Emerald & Jade ! Filming shows every detail necessary to get an
understanding of the skill and hard work involved in milling logs. Verbal presentation
is at a professional level too Emerald and well thought out. Bravo ! 👍👍👍
I really look forward to your video every night (1:30 a.m. 🙃) and I immediately feel better. Thanks to the whole family. Hopefully, diligent as you are, you will soon be able to buy a fully automatic saw and further automate the operation to make things a little easier. Maybe one day a door will open for a used, but ultra-modern saw - I wish you the best.

You girls are doing a great job! Many years ago I owned a circle sawmill business. Brings back good memories ..
Jade looked like she would rather be anywhere else. You didn't tally the board footage. Tell us about your necklace. Another outstanding video. Thank you.
Jade = 👍 🙂
If you do it again, forget counting the logs, count the board footage. That's really all that matters. Two thumbs up!
Board footage matters to industrial lumber mills that do A lot of board footage. That is because that is how they sell it.
Larger mills do not sell by the size of lumber as In 5X3 by 10' or 6X6 by 10' etc. However to see how cost effective it really would disappointing. Now since they cut and sell (final retail seller) It would be cost effective on Price. Cut out many, middle men, agents, Shipping cost, etc. How ever if one has Small mill operations they can do dimensional lumber of customers request far easier than lumber mills that do fixed sizes. To order anything that is not common is priced really high.
@@terrancevangemert7508 I can tell you coming from this one man sawyer (plus customer provided labor), board footage is all that matters. I believe that Emerald was trying to give a general idea of how much they cut in a way most people can understand. No mater how you cut it, no one gets paid by the log, they get paid by the board foot. Unless they are cutting by the hour.
@@terrancevangemert7508 the lumber industry, large or small, operate on board footage. There are some pretty big mills that cut tons of 6 x 6. Price based on board footage. A 6 x 6 x 10' contains 30 board feet.
Coffee break . . . "Clink" . . . . . . Cheers!
Really good stuff ☺️☺️
Just interesting everyday information
Emerald,
Have you considered to us a magnetic wand, to wave over the log looking for metal before you saw it? It gives off a warbling tone when it finds something and it should be able to give a reading for a log.
Bob S - Cleveland
Nice job and a good indicator of the value of a days worth of milling , thank you
Garotas muito competentes exercendo um trabalho dificil tem toda admiracao e respeito👍👏
I never wandered but found it interesting nevertheless. Nice neck knife Em. I like it!
You two look like really good workers. There is one thing I may suggest. Eye protection, I am big on eye protection.
Great job! I thought I was getting fast.
We cut 20’ logs on our mill over the weekend, they were so tight on the mill we only had 2 inches of each side of the log.
Good old metal in the log...I feel your pain. I have hit metal in boards while smoothing them out. Tears up knives real quick. Great job you two...
Good thing I can read lips or else I wouldn't have known Emerald said "welcome to Lumber Capital Log Yard"
Very amazing hard working two ladies here, 13 logs makes for a very good day
coffee time, metal detector would be nice, they make small ones that can hold in hand but isn't as good as big ones, because they use it after find something, but life is fun
What kinds of metal do you find in the wood? Bullets, nails, fencing......
Thank you for another great video.
Have a great day ☺
3x5, that's hefty stuff. Roofing for holding a snow load? Beams?
Anyway, a question. What is the most odd or interesting that someone has built from your timber?
Might be flooring from a mill. My father got a bunch of it when I was a kid to build a deck for the pool. It was tongue and groove though. Most stable pool deck I've ever seen.
Emerald, I have been totally entertained by your vids, not to mention how clear and informative they are. Best wishes and we need to get you to 500k subs. I had an original view that your name should be Amber with that hair. Just kidding, don't change a thing, best wishes and God bless you all.
Well good for you girls. I can only get one or two logs done a day. There is only one of me cutting oak logs and I have a limited amount of room to put cut offs and have to cut my fliches on the mill to make boards and have other things I do during the day.
What was the piece of metal in the first log? What are the usual metal pieces you find in the logs?
Looked like a nail, as far as kinds of hardware, nails, screws, porcellin fence insulators, bullets, horse shoes, railroad spikes, stones, the list goes on. The nice thing with a band mill is, if you hit hardware, all you're out is a band. Not so with a circle mill, hit a horse shoe or railroad spike, hope nobody gets hurt or worse.
Good job Have a great day ☕️👌📹👍
That was more work than I managed today. Keep working!
Great job!
Great work Em and Jade! Thanks to Bossman to for supplying those logs! Tell us about the new pendant on the necklace Em. Looks native! Thumbs up! 👍👍👍
I made the pendent, ( neck knife) what would you like to know? I also made the fixed blade she wears on her belt and her dad Kens knife. My name is Lee
2 "alright's" whoo hoo 😃 two shots. 13 is a good number it looked like your interested in an average me as well. Great vid 💪
You seam to have a great , work ethic tough an pretty all great qualitys ..!! 🌞
Ladies y’all gems❤💪😎🤫🌹🏴☠️
estoy viendo sus videos con detenimiento ,gracias por eseñarme a trabajar con estas maquinas ,los videos son muy valiosos -I am watching your videos carefully, thanks for teaching me how to work with these machines, the videos are very valuable
About 4:35, between log 4 and 5, Autumn looks 7 feet tall !
Who is "Autumn"?
Do you mean Emerald??
( The red head)???
That's Emerald......
Oops! My mistake! I am always thinking about her "red hair"!
#9 was a good one. I’ve often wondered how many and how long so once again great info!!
I foresee Emerald investing her vast fortune in the wood business into acres and acres of prime coffee land worldwide. "Emerald Coffee Co"?
Is the metal from nails or bullet. Nice to see you ware analog watch. I enjoy your videos about the yard.
Right on good job
Great job
Awesome job!!! Great work!!
Miss Em, that necklace/ pendant...is quite intriguing!
Viking, or ,Native American?? Just curious!!🤔??🐾🐾🐾🐾👍🧙♂️🐺!!!!
From what you have said in the past about how your father used to work out his own daily production from logs cut when he ran the mill, I am surprised that he hasn't had you working out how many board feet and the value of the stock that you have produced for sales turnover when running the mill for a day and then say for a month, and from this to have produced an average board foot production and a turnover figure to gauge future business upon, plus of course, the cost of materials, cost of labour and so on related to the business, so that you can calculate profit as a percentage, and this perhaps even with the different types of wood.
Sure, there are many, many elements to what you are doing beyond those noted above, and many ancillary costs to work into the calculations, some variable some fixed, but computer worksheets are great at crunching numbers if you set them up to do so and feed them data, and as I see it, it would be really useful to be able to convert your production into the dollars that give you an idea of how your family business can progress, or otherwise, from here.
Good job Ladies.
If I'm lying I'm crying I haven't heard that one in a long time 😆
Digging the neck knife 👍💯❤️
How do you guys keep all that lumber from warping? Do you have kilns?
Yes 1 kiln, and its probably full. I think the customers buy it both ways. They probably pay a little more if run through the Kiln. and they always sticker the lumber to air cure/Dry it. Owner will say.
Need some info on the neck/push knife.
Whenever someone asks me who my hero’s are, I say Emerald and Jade. They might look at me funny, but we all know who the real gems are! Thanks ladies! 👍
I imagine it's not worth giving the logs a once over with a metal detector else you'd be doing it already - but I did wonder!
I’ve wondered about that also.
One of our local sawmills always runs a metal detector over each log, tons of nails,metal fence, arrows and bullets pulled from the logs, horseshoes,hinges, you name it, they find it buried deep in the old trees!
@@tetedur377 bullets do make detectors howl real loud actually good idea imo
@@tetedur377 most bullets will be lead core with a copper jacket. Pretty soft and not going to damage a sawmill blade usually. The metal sawyers have trouble with is mostly the steel from nails, screws, fence wire, and other random crap that can wind up being encapsulated as the tree grows. Urban and suburban trees typically have so much metal in them that a lot of sawyers won’t touch them, and if they do the cost of blade replacement is part of the contract you sign with them to get your logs sawn.
Not sure what they would do differently after detecting metal. The only other choice would be to throw the log away. You wouldn't want to buck it as that would be more dangerous if you hit the metal. Obviously once they hit metal they didn't stop processing the log. Maybe they could put on a more expensive blade that is strong enough to cut through the metal without having to be repaired? My bet is that the cost of that blade makes it unappealing. Not sure how many choices they have, there's still value in a log with a bit of metal, and it's not like the blade is generally ruined, just that it requires repair and sharpening.
Great camera work..
Not bad at all
Do you not use hands protection?
Adding up what numbers I could see on the logs, they got approximately 822 Board Feet sawn in a little over 4 hours. So, around 1,600 Board Feet, if the sawmill were run 8 hours straight. Not bad at all.
If you were just slabbing logs and in 5/4, not cutting dimensional lumber, would that be faster?
What's the marking on the end of the logs? Is that what each log yields in board foot?
With the workout y'all get every day you will never need a gym.
What do u do with the bark pieces
Nice job, did you cut all the logs with one blade after the metal strike ? I would like to see a drawing of your cut pattern getting a beam , 3x5s and any other boards from the bigger logs. Thanks..
What do the markings on the end of the logs represent?
Cool neck knife.
Hey y'all happy Tuesday 💪
All my logs are hardwood, mostly oak.
The last one the cant was 22" square.
Those take a while and eat a lot of blades.
I don't like them that big.
I usually hit metal right after I put a new blade on. 🤨
Nice work ladies.
I have a question. The loading area to the right side of the mill has these two rails that the logs roll on. I hope my description is good enough for you to understand what I'm talking about. Would it make sense to raise the ends of the rails that are furthest from the mill a bit so they would be easier to roll into the loader or would it cause problems? I thought about this a while back when Sammy was struggling with a fairly large log. Of course, she won but maybe you don't need to work so hard.
I have suggested that a couple times. Good idea.
keeping it level is best ... that way a log can't roll on its own and hurt you - while you roll out the next one onto the mill
@@diverdave4056 I disagree.
Probably wrong, but wouldn't the logs roll towards the mill easier if they were laid down on something round instead of the flat of a timber? Less point of contact. Just a thought from an inexperienced noob.
@@diverdave4056 Yea I get it having heavy things move when you don't want them to might be a problem. And a serious one.
I bought my LT40 Hydraulic brand new in 1991. Up until then I had never sawed a log in my life. I used the mill for my sole source of income for about 8 years taking it to customers sites mostly. More times than not I would be working by myself. On average I figured I was cutting 100 to 150 bd/ft an hour. Of course, the dimensions cut, dia./length of logs, dirt, stacking etc always was different. 10-12 hr day 1000 bd/ft. or so. I think back then I was charging around 10 cents a bd/ft. I wasn't getting rich, but I was in good shape. That is a nice looking mill. Looks like it could easily keep 3 people working for max output. I think the new ones are in the 40-50K range though. I drove down to Portland and picked mine up. I think I was out the door just under 22K. It was top of the line then.
Hi Emerald, I enjoy your videos and admire your work ethic. I ran a firewood business here in eastern Pa. for a few years and I know how hard the work is. My wife has a friend who lives in Cogan Station. Is that route 15 in the background ?
+ken recchia yep, we are right across on ramp to get onto 15 north
Why not use a metal detector to save blades and labour?
For what those blades cost, a good metal detector would pay for itself in not much time at all.
Rens-metal-detector-p-4000 very expensive
Vary good job
How many board feet of lumber can you cut per hour.
There's a lot of comments about metal and detectors below. Now, I'm no sawyer (!) but it seems to me that it would take time to check each log - which as we all know costs money - and it would need a very sensitive detector to pick up say bullets in the log - if near the surface it would have to be scanned all the way round or be machine handled (more $$$s) through a ring scanner. It may not cost in. Changing the blade costs more than the cost of the blade of course but even so, I'm doubtful.
I was only wondering how long it takes roughly to cut a log on the last video.
Hey presto an answer.
Nice one Emerald and family of course.
Undeniably beautiful... 🪵
I didn't realize is was so misty and rainy in the Pennsylvania hills.
Tree huggers spiking the trees 😂
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck had logs lined up like emerald 🤣
Hiya Emerald,
Great video, thank you. But the important question is, how many pints of coffee in that 5 hrs? Stay safe, Steve...
