Very educational, I learned a lot watching your video. I am a woodworker and occasionally I get the opportunity to buy some band sawn lumber. This will help with my understanding.
Thank you sir!
Thank you sir for your time, and for sharing your very helpful information. Much appreciated. Liked, and subscribed. Least I could do to pay for your service.
Thanks for all your videos good stuff.
Thanks for this great video!!!
Thank you so much from New Zealand 🇳🇿
WOW, You are the MAN ,Finally after all these years, A-PLUS, Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
This was the very best lesson in wood sawing I have ever seen.
Thank you for the most comprehensive and understandable video on wood and milling that I have seen on TH-cam!!
Hands down most I've learnt from all the videos I've watched, thank you!
Wow I have learned so much h from you thankyou so very much for ur time and efforts! Ur awesome
What a generous man you are sharing this knowledge. I moved to east texas about 1.5 years ago and bought a manual mill. Your videos have been a huge help! Thank you!
Thank you for the nice comment.
Very good, thanks.
Texans are alway proud of mesquite wood. I am a Texacan myself, an I too love mesquite wood.
Someone needs to baby a mesquite wood and try to make it grow straight...
You explain things in plain language that even I can understand . That's why I love your videos . And you inspire me to get off my butt while I still can. Not as old as you but close. If I don't move I won't move and to young to grow roots.
Sir, you are a goldmine of knowledge! My sawmill is still in the crate but thankfully I saw your videos before I started out doing things wrong. Sure do appreciate your time and effort.
Thank you for bringing your knowledge and expertise to YT. You are an excellent teacher.
Thanks for being so clear and informative! Learning a lot from your videos.
I have found your videos so interesting and learnt more from your videos than from any other youtube videos so a huge thank you

Thank you for taking the time to teach about the different woods and how to saw them. I am new to milling and need all the information I can get. I run a hotsaw in Wisconsin for a land clearing company and am tired of seeing nice logs just chipped into trucks. Thanks again for you time and talent.
So much great information! I am so glad I found your channel.
Your videos are great for investing and financing small busineses.
My I request a video with tips specifically for sawmilling post oaks and water oaks? Maybe elms too. I am located in Texas' Post Oak Savannah north of Bonham, and most of my trees available are post oaks. They are so hardy once dried that I am interested in figuring out how to make the most of them. Thank you much for your videos. They will save me years of frustration.
Thank you so much for the info, it is really going to help me as mill for the first time by myself.
Wonderful video, well presented thanks so much Dr G, Canada
I am learning so much from you!!! If it were possible I would love to drive down and give you a hand just to get the experience
Dido!
For not much money, you could repurpose your log splitter to log turner and other log holding.
All this manwell labor takes so much time and strength.
Another great video, thanks!
Thank you for this great video. I’m new to sawyering and can’t wait to get started!
Great information. Thank you.
Good job, very informative
Good information. Thank you, sir. 👍🏼
Masterclass on milling. You shouldve been a shop teacher
This dude is great. Great job.
Thanks, keep up the woodworking!
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
just found you're channel,great content. looking forward to more on cutting lumber earned by sub....scott
I cut on a manual mill . It is very enjoyable work . Thank you for great information that I can use on my mill. I would love to hear your thoughts on very large logs. I have a few that I can not pick up with the tractor a have to parbuckle up on to the saw. Some I have had to cut in half with chainsaw to mill.
It is a very real problem, not only are they big they weigh too much to pick up. The way I approach it is to cut up logs up to 24" diameter on my sawmill. Then the logs bigger than that (some up to 4 ft. diameter) are too heavy to lift so I cut them up into cants my tractor will lift on my 60" chainsaw mill. then I can saw these cants with the sawmill. A sawmill is a least twice as fast as a chainsaw mill with a lot less kurf loss. Thanks for the comment.
Hi George I just watched video presentation a whole lot great information about sawmilling. I’m a longtime woodworker who also lives in Texas. Just out of curiosity where are you located in Texas?

That bowl is a piece of art, I'd rather buy that than some stupid jpeg NFT.
There is a difference in stronger... quarter sawn is stiffer and more stable but not as much flex making it snap under pressure...you don't want quarter sawn for roof rafters or floor joist ...flat sawn has more flex but a higher snapping point
I’ve never seen a chainsaw or circular saw that has a 1/2 inch kerf. Did you mean 1/4?
My big chainsaw mill uses .404 chain, makes a bigger hole than 3/8 chains.
Do you kiln dry your wood?
No, here's why. Most of the wood I cut are stored as 3" thick slabs. I also saw up 1" and 2" boards for some of my customers. You cannot kiln dry the three-wood thickness at the same time or it will cause CASE HARDNING of the thicker wood. This is where the outside of the slab is heated too high of temperature and because of the thickness of the wood does not dry the inside of the wood causing a hard outside of the board which cracks the wood.
Therefore, ALL of my wood is air dried in my barn (which is also my solar kiln). There is a lot to wood drying that I aim to cover in FUTURE VIDEO'S which includes how I designed my storage barn as a solar kiln to dry my large slabs and lumber.
@@georgewoodoftexas3509 Very awesome George.
I saw the yellow pine on a band saw and run straight diesel fuel on the band and it keeps the sap off perfectly.
If you’re cutting down leaning trees, learn the plunge cut method to avoid the Barber chair.
There's a trick to cutting a leaning tree.
Never notch it on the side it's leaning to ,
Alway notch it to the left or right of the lean acting like you are want to cut it a different way then it wants to go .. this will keep it from splitting all the way out the top and taking your head with it..it will also fall a lot slower because your making it go a direction it doesn't want to go...
Thanks for the great suggestion, a barber-chair in a tree your cutting can be a very dangerous thing.
You can also use a chain and binder, and or a heavy-duty ratcheting truckers type strap above and below the felling kerf.
I bore cut leaners. I also chain them when I'm not sure. I've also used a ratchet strap. Bore cutting really helps to keep the log from splitting. Good luck.
Circle saw takes 1/4",not 1/2
I gave up trying to list how many things this guy gets wrong, in his explanations, terminology, etc.
To long ,and confusing.
