LOL, Fred I have watch that myself thinking oh my goodness they are such a big difference in our filming today. There are lots of videos that new people when they come along may have not seen so hopefully they can go back and check those out but I would probably wonder who are those people they don’t seem the same, LOL. Hope you guys are having a great weekend and we want to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
You are a very intellegent man. I have watch a few of your videos and ive also watched alot of sawmill videos. You are the only one who has filmed greasing and maitaining the mill. I also love the smoky mountain scenery. Thank you. Sir.
I just love Appalachian engunity! I'm just starting my post and beam project. I noticed the jig you made for the mortise and tenon. Got a video on that? I was also looking for the video when you erected the corner posts. S1E1 starts with posts already set. Love the rig! Thanks for the informative video!🌈❤️🌎✌️
Remembering again Richard. Rained like that again around there in the last year. Might want to invest in a Pontoon Boat and tie it close to the house just in case. Fred.
That’s some great ideas, I was always doing stuff to my equipment to make it more functional. I’ve built trailers, wood splitter, and a lot more. I made a set of short forklift type attachments that slid on the front bucket and came up behind about 3”with one bolt per side. Length was 20” with a curve bent in. This allows me to pull up to a log and with the bucket turned beyond level the forks will go under the log and roll back putting the log somewhat on the bucket for Transportion. This is to late for you and, I just found your channel. Good luck Stay safe
Just discovered your channel Richard. Really enjoying it. You’re inspiring me to wanna build a cabin. Thanks for creating all this helpful content! Bill
Stumbled upon your videos day before yesterday. Did you dry your logs at all or are they recently felled? How much time between felling and milling them? Thanks and yes I am binge-watching your episodes haha. God bless.
I missed this video,or didn't catch it.i really like the kubota. Question did you look at buying a John Deere tractor vs the kubota? Mabey the price was way to much on the john Deere,you have some mechanical ingenuity did you grow up on the farm? NICE.
@@SmokyMountainOutpost I would have bought the kubota also and I just got done looking reviewing at your bio video and were the Same age,I thought you were early 50s and I did grow up on the farm I'm in Minnesota and looking to by 40 acres this year not sure I'm gonna build a log home had a knee replacement already and I think the other one is going but I still have my mind and the will.i love your build great great job.
I haven't watched all of your content yet but if you haven't filmed a movie on your blueprint drawings would you consider it. And how you came up with them and you mentioned that you were using poplar. Maybe why on that as well. Thanks hello from the Kentucky mountains USA
I came up with the prints in my head, lol. 26x36. Six even 13’ squares. A little less than 1000 sq ft. Then I decided where I should set the support posts. I did a video in the summer on the prints and how to “timber frame mortise and tenon.” Poplar is more abundant here. Structurally it’s better than pine I hear. I am using pine for the siding though for a contrast from the poplar.
@@SmokyMountainOutpost thanks. I am just to your tractor movie. Great job by the way. I am trying something similar here in Kentucky but I have a lot of long straight white oak. A lot of old timber house's here are made of it but more narrow 3 bent dogtrot style. I noticed in the glimpse of your print in the other film your's was double side by side. I mean wide frame. I want one more like yours not a narrow house like here. I will go watch that film. Thanks again and God bless.
Greetings from TX. New viewer, and the biggest question I've had was your choice of tractor... Not brand, but size. Always Kubota, no question. LOL But my answer was always 'brute-strength' rather than actually calculating the forces needed to -do the job-... When, after I finally realized that you left all that junk on the back, to balance loads on the front, then it finally dawned on me that you knew exactly what you were doing... Kudos for the "Tractor-basics." It was a learning experience. Thank you so much... -pp
Still good seeing these videos again Richard. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

Maintenance is paramount in longevity.

Enjoying your videos, I miss this one had to go back.... Loved the attachment combo, great idea and very functional...
Glad you liked it. Thanks for your support

Another great video. A fine lesson by a fine instructor 👍🏻

I let them dry a little. Wood dries and shrinks in diameter but not really in length. I allowed for any changes.

I did grow up in nature’s university, lol. Everyone needs that opportunity. Anyway, the reviews were better on the Kubota and I am thoroughly pleased.
