I was watching some of these videos with my grandfather the other day. He was a logger way back in the old days. You should have seen the joy on his face when he saw you dump water on some of those slabs. "Look at those slabs" he said.. Like we were watching a supermodel pagent or something. Nope, just MC, slabbing it up, making 90 year old loggers drool over what he's producing. Good work Matt. Your work is inspiring, and is always reminding some of us, what our true passions in life are.
You're the only dude that I could watch cut wood for almost 30 minutes and be begging for more. It's great to see that saw from start to finish, all the work you've put into it, and now to see you cut huge logs with it. Happy for you man!
Coming from an old man who thought he was bullet proof when he was young, be very aware of your back. Head up, bend your knees and don't try to break your personal best lift every time. You cannot do anything FUN if you injure your back. Love your channel and your energy.
Hardest working wood worker and doing it with a chuckle and a smile. You keep smilin and I’ll keep tuning in. Well done. The large boards had a ‘female’ affect noticeable. Am I the only one seeing it?!
Great explanation of grain and figure development in a tree and how to read a log for proper milling. I was going to ask about pinching the blade and the use of wedges, but you beat me to it. Another great video, Michael!
One of my favorite things about milling, is how you can take an enormous log, and it slowly disappears until there is nothing left on the mill. The other most amazing thing about milling, is how you are the first person on the planet to see inside these logs. Its a unique experience every time.
Matt you are a great teacher. compression figure and bull's-eye today. we have built a mill just north of Winning, we started to build ours the same time as u did yours . Ugly. oak makes beautiful slabs . Cheers
Matt you seam to have an efinity for working with wood I really enjoy it but like many out there who do not have the property or have health problem can not engage in their passion . I for my sins have both problems so watching you inspires me to what could have been SO KEEP DOING THE GREAT VIDEOS Doug.
Enjoy your videos on the building of your sawmill. From the angle you were shooting in the previous videos, I thought you lived out in the country. If I was one of your neighbors I would call the police about noise and running a commercial operation in a area that was zoned for residential. You are really pushing your luck with your neighbors, might be the time to look for a place in the country.
🇬🇧 That first ash slab seems to have one of the prettiest grains I've seen and its a lovely colour. The figuring on some is a bit like a medieval stained glass picture of a knight. What we saw of the birch was good too.
You talked about the set of the blade... but what about the FLEAM MAN!!! THE FLEAM!!! I can just see Shannon wagging his finger at you lol. Beautiful cuts Matt! 👊👍
Haha , thank you for us with metric, This time its a treat ! meters, centimeters AND millimeters in the same footage ! :) nice wood and glad to see that the mill is working so well !
Matthew I really like your log trailer with the log arch and winch rig thats neat NBA and very handy.The ash log you slabbed is amazing beautiful grain crotch and curl.Thanks all be blessed.
Love the enthusiasm you have for the wood you work with. OH for a yard (Actually living in West Wales it would need to be a barn) Big enough for a mill like that
You stepped up your game i count at least 20 times this video.....Way to go Matt. But grilling and Matt is milling, that grill can wait, i gonna do some milling...lol...Have a great weekend Matt and Lindsay, JR Max and yep pancake too....
Hi ho.. I'm a fan. Wish you could have met my dad.. He was a big log junkie!! Built a chainsaw mill.. It was a horrible thing but it worked! His pet! Good job !!!! I'm enjoying your work enormously!
Up on my family land we have quite a few ancient white oak trees that are between 3'-4' across with at least 20' of knot free log on the shortest tree with some of the limbs appearing to be large and straight enough to be veneer or at the very least prime. the top spreads are so large we are going climb and delimb them before we fell the trunks. My father is a retired tree surgeon and took cores at the base to check for rot and these beauties are solid! After watching your vids on the sawmill build I am going to have the crotch sections slabbed for sure now. along with some curly river maple logs I have in the side.
Hi Matt, I love watching these videos. I too have a band saw mill though not nearly as big as yours. I've struggled with blade wander too when my blades get dull. I ended up adding some red oak guides that have a kerf wide slot cut in them. This supported the blade top and bottom where before I only had top wheels. I also really slow down the cut when the blade is getting dull (looks like you are already doing that). Lastly, if I can I make one cut in the log to have a clean, cut edge, then turn the log 90deg and cut into the clean cut. Doesn't help for live edge but does extend the blade life. This year I want to add a debarker in front of the band using an old circular saw with two blades mounted. Cheers, love the videos.
Beautiful grain patterns Matt. Hope to see some future projects with this beautiful grain. Keep up the good work!! Hopefully you have something planned to help move those massive slabs around. Don't wreck your back as I have done.
Hey Matt, get you about 3 or 4 pieces of 1 1/2inch pipe about 3 feet long to put under your slabs to move them on top of the other one. Rolling them is so much easier than trying to slide them. That's how I can move a 500lb slab by myself. Take care and as always be safe and keep warm.
Matt, that is some beautiful wood you got out of the log. I would love to try and make a bed out of it using the top as much as possible. I would make the head boards seven feet tall and the foot boards three feet. Not sure how I would tie them together to keep as much of their beauty as possible but I know it could be done! I love how you do your best to show everyone the beauty you get to see when cutting up the logs and how each slab show off the beauty within!
Enjoyed the video Matt. Interesting boards you're making, the the advantage of milling your own. Who needs a gym when you mill your own logs? Thanks for posting.
I was wondering about the wedges and you answered my question. I'm amazed at how quickly those blades are dulling. I was thinking you'd get a week's worth of milling big logs out of them.
dirt that gets trapped in the bark when the tree is dropped and moved, is probably the biggest wear factor. Bigger commercial mills will either de-bark the log or some poor soul gets the job of power washing it just before it goes to the saw.
May I suggest putting a ~2" pipe below the slab when your putting it onto the stack so you can easily push it forward off the trailer. Just looked like you were struggling a bit getting it to slide. Great work! Thx.
I don't know who in your area does such a thing, but there are places around that will sharpen your band saw blades, normally much less expense than buying new. Great video as usual, can't wait for the next one.
Have you considered using some jack posts for leveling out your logs for milling? Idea came to me as you need the same sort of support that is provided by machinist jacks and they are essentially a leveled up version for really big heavy stuff. Look em up at your local building supply and hardware store. Cheaper than hydraulic jacks too.
As always Matt a great and informative video. I too favor the ash figuring and it would make a great table top. I saw your other video about the under bark and gosh I have to agree, what a beautiful look! You would have some very unique pieces of furniture if you did that on a hall table or better yet a dinning table. I won't harp on you about your back, I think you heard enough in these comments to make a point, lol. Thanks again. ~Dolly
Wow! Some beautiful wood there I had a thought while watching I notice the head unit "walks" along the track, first one side advances and then the other catches up as you crank. If you put some fare leads or rollers on the front corners then you could bring your feed cable all the way around the front and attach to the other side of the head unit. This would make both sides advance smoother. Of course it would double the mechanical advantage too, making it advance at half the speed while cranking and using twice the amount of cable. Trade offs.... but something to think about.
Ever consider using a round piece to slide the slabs? Might help make stacking a lil easier....JMHO. I was amazed at the amount of effort it takes for you to maneuver wood in your yard. Just goes to show...where there is a will there is a way. And give a big enough lever and I can move the world!Well done sir!
Mathew you have built a marvellous band saw, please make your self a small lift truck or a crane of some type, because you are going to damage your back at some time or other all young men think they are invincible, I thought I was, I was lucky I recovered ok, keep up the good work, best wishes from the UK.
It reminds me of my grandfather who owned land and cuts his own log ( he was a lumberjack) and milling wood himself whit his old woodmizer selling his plank for money. just I like to watch those video making me dreaming about milling y own wood
Love lookin at that those big piles of cash ya got all milled up. Be interesting to find out how many logs your gonna have to mill to break even on the mill investment. Lumber ain't cheap, especially lumber as beautiful as that. Love the vids, always a great evenin when i open youtube to see that Matty C has another episode for me to watch.
Funny thing. I thought I could actually smell the sawdust coming from your mill. But, I then realized I was wearing the same sweat shirt I wore in the shop yesterday!
I'd never seem knots treated for shrinkage. Glad I saw this so I'll know to do it someday. Wondering though if you will be treating the ends of these beast slabs to help prevent splitting.
Looking at the way you move this wood around is amazing.. I was watching you load this log and looking it the mill. Could you extend the bed rails and make another gantry with a winch to lift and move the logs?
Once all this stuff is dried, I’m really curious about how it is sold. Do you have wholesale connections who will buy most of a stack? Or do you just rely on the Craig’s List crowd to buy a piece at a time? And then how do you make the slabs available to view? It’s not like you’ve got a massive warehouse where you can store the slabs on edge. What will these beauties weigh when dried? Can two people man-handle their way down a stack to get to that perfect slab? Can they stack/unstack without creative winching? Or will they pick-out via video which slabs they want and you end up digging it out for them? And once all of your current logs are cut and stacked, and the yard is packed, are you then out of the milling business until this batch is dried, some inventory is moved and more space is freed up?An in-depth discussion in one of your videos would be most enlightening.
on my mill i had to have sharp blades for it to cut flat. your mill works better than mine. i believe it is because you are using steel wheels were mine had 30'' trailer tires,and you are able to put more tension on the blade than i was able to. i had 2000 dollars in my mill. sold it for 4000. couldn't sale any slabs was the reason i sold it. planning on building a swing mill soon.
Really nice pieces of wood you have there, love your mill, I assume it is homemade? Your trailer too, well done sir! BTW I saw your re broom with the bent handle, looks like exactly the same broom I bought here in Tokyo at a home center, mine bent in exactly the same place! Cheers!
from all the heavy lifting you do matt, an all terrain extendable boom fork lift might be in your future. that, or a lot of back pains. great work though, beautiful slabs you have cut up
Excellent work on the build of the mill!! Any chance you made a set of plans?? Got some monster ambrosia maple logs way too big for my LT40 super, and dont want waste any of it with the chainsaw mill!! Thanks
Its like a car wreck, cant take my eyes off of the vid. Each new slab is more beautiful than the one before. Looks like you have a bunch more to go. How long will it take for these to dry? You probably said how long in a previous video. Thanks so much for sharing. I noticed you have a lot of homes around you. Do any of your neighbors give you a hard time about all the logs and maybe noise. I sure hope not.
Little early in the day to be taking a drink every time Matt says "crotch", but what the heck, it's only tea...
I lost count at about twenty-seven, and I was drinking water.
I don't have anything to drink, and YOU are a very cruel man....😳
I actually am drinking tea.....! hahahaha!
Crotch count: 24
It's only a piece of ash, Bob.
I was watching some of these videos with my grandfather the other day.
He was a logger way back in the old days.
You should have seen the joy on his face when he saw you dump water on some of those slabs.
"Look at those slabs" he said..
Like we were watching a supermodel pagent or something.
Nope, just MC, slabbing it up, making 90 year old loggers drool over what he's producing.
Good work Matt.
Your work is inspiring, and is always reminding some of us, what our true passions in life are.
Not only you spoil us but when selling these boards you have the video to show your customers! Great job Matt!
You're the only dude that I could watch cut wood for almost 30 minutes and be begging for more. It's great to see that saw from start to finish, all the work you've put into it, and now to see you cut huge logs with it. Happy for you man!

so I just realized the true motivation for building the sawmill... less mowing with all those slabs laying around. Genius!
hahaha!! No more lawn!
Very cool! Awesome job on your mill and very nice looking lumber!
Hardest working wood worker and doing it with a chuckle and a smile. You keep smilin and I’ll keep tuning in. Well done. The large boards had a ‘female’ affect noticeable. Am I the only one seeing it?!
Never get tired of watching the saw work!
Great explanation of grain and figure development in a tree and how to read a log for proper milling. I was going to ask about pinching the blade and the use of wedges, but you beat me to it. Another great video, Michael!
Oops.Brain fade. Another great video, Matthew.
lol Thanks!!
Slab envy... what a COOL looking and amazing slab. Cheers! Scott from Japan
One of my favorite things about milling, is how you can take an enormous log, and it slowly disappears until there is nothing left on the mill. The other most amazing thing about milling, is how you are the first person on the planet to see inside these logs. Its a unique experience every time.
Glad to hear that your son made out well.
And the bed came out beautiful.
Matt you are a great teacher. compression figure and bull's-eye today. we have built a mill just north of Winning, we started to build ours the same time as u did yours . Ugly. oak makes beautiful slabs . Cheers
Do you want to put the mill inside a building someday! Love watching you work or play which ever works for you !!!😜😜😜😜😜😝😝😝😝 great video Matt!!!👍👍👍👍
You seem to be becoming the King of Trailer Backing.
+Reverend Blair the improvement has been substantial :)
matt your blade change answered my questions as to why my saw was doing the exact same thing last year. thanks for the insight
I never in my life would have ever thought I would be using my free time to watching someone sawing wood...an enjoy it.
Great Time Waster! Thax Matt
Matt, you and your crotches. Looking forward to seeing the projects that come out of that wood. GREAT job.
When I watch your vids, I want to come through the screen to help you move slabs. Your chiropractor must be a magician!
Hi Matt absolutely GREAT LOOKING SLABS, the Ash is very figured really good looking timber.
KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING .
Doug.
+Douglas Mungham thanks Doug!
Matt you seam to have an efinity for working with wood I really enjoy it but like many out there who do not have the property or have health problem can not engage in their passion .

The two limbed slabs should be made into a dress designers desk. It looks like a fancy classic evening dress. Cool
Amazing! Those pieces of metal will tell an interesting story on a table top some day.
Matthew I really like your log trailer with the log arch and winch rig thats neat NBA and very handy.The ash log you slabbed is amazing beautiful grain crotch and curl.Thanks all be blessed.
Love the enthusiasm you have for the wood you work with. OH for a yard (Actually living in West Wales it would need to be a barn) Big enough for a mill like that
Thanks Jamie!
I love that you're having such great success and fun with this mill Matt, I also love these videos!
+steve dale thanks Steve!
Better log handling will make your rig complete! So awesome.
Каждый раз поражаюсь как автор сам все эти тяжёлые доски переворачивает и переносит. Реально нравится человеку свое дело.
You stepped up your game i count at least 20 times this video.....Way to go Matt. But grilling and Matt is milling, that grill can wait, i gonna do some milling...lol...Have a great weekend Matt and Lindsay, JR Max and yep pancake too....
haha! Thanks Robert!
That is one heck of a saw you built!!! Very nice buddy!!!
+tommy0164 thank you!
Matt, you are the most hard-core wood enthusiast I know :-) love watching your videos
Very beautiful tree you got there, I love to see then you release the beautiful tree down under your cut tree
+Carsten Andersen thank you!

Thanks Dale! Moving them with the trailer is about as easy as it gets. Much easier than moving them by hand
Scenario: "Howdy neighbour!! Want some scraps for that BBQ bro?" LOL That log boom works great Matt!!
haha!
Hey Matt, get you about 3 or 4 pieces of 1 1/2inch pipe about 3 feet long to put under your slabs to move them on top of the other one. Rolling them is so much easier than trying to slide them. That's how I can move a 500lb slab by myself. Take care and as always be safe and keep warm.
More than curious what your neighbors think about this in their back yard LOL. Really nice work and videos are first rate.
"Can't wait for that..." heh. Some really nice looking grain, Matt!
That seems like one large ash log to me! Great vid Matt.
Matt, I didn't count but crotch was repeated the most I've hearn. Nice day to mill, and great workout! You litteraly milled up a storm! LOL!
Matt, that is some beautiful wood you got out of the log. I would love to try and make a bed out of it using the top as much as possible.

you are my hero you know . that fantastic job
That log has some beautiful grain in it
May I suggest putting a ~2" pipe below the slab when your putting it onto the stack so you can easily push it forward off the trailer. Just looked like you were struggling a bit getting it to slide. Great work! Thx.
That figure in the birch is beautiful, Matt.
Thanks, Steve!
I would have several natural edge tables. I'm So jelly!
Well done Matt !!!
20:40, watching you hump that slab onto the pile was hilarious!
+Chris Williams hahahaha I'm an entertainer at heart
The top of that last cut with the double bulls eye looks like ET!
I love your neighbor always photo bombing your videos.... cooking, my kind of guy
I'm always working around dinner time, I guess lol
I don't know who in your area does such a thing, but there are places around that will sharpen your band saw blades, normally much less expense than buying new. Great video as usual, can't wait for the next one.
I don't know if anyone does it locally but I'm planning to just ship them back to have them sharpened. Thanks Ray!

You're a hard worker keep up the good work
+perry eastham thanks Perry!
That trailer setup is nice
+mark vylonis thanks Mark!
Good Saturday watchin 😍
Too bad you're nowhere near me. I'd totally grab a few slabs. Respect!
It reminds me of my grandfather who owned land and cuts his own log ( he was a lumberjack) and milling wood himself whit his old woodmizer selling his plank for money. just I like to watch those video making me dreaming about milling y own wood
You rock. Love the process.
Nice slabs Matt!
Love lookin at that those big piles of cash ya got all milled up. Be interesting to find out how many logs your gonna have to mill to break even on the mill investment. Lumber ain't cheap, especially lumber as beautiful as that. Love the vids, always a great evenin when i open youtube to see that Matty C has another episode for me to watch.
All the logs that I had in my driveway when I started the mill were enough to cover the cost of the mill. Thanks Kevin!
Ever thought about doing a project with a root ball? It'd be cool to see some root system sliced on that mill.
Funny thing. I thought I could actually smell the sawdust coming from your mill.
But, I then realized I was wearing the same sweat shirt I wore in the shop yesterday!
+drochon6672 hahahaha
I'd never seem knots treated for shrinkage. Glad I saw this so I'll know to do it someday. Wondering though if you will be treating the ends of these beast slabs to help prevent splitting.
I sealed the logs once I got them here. Thanks!
The old jacket over the winch cable trick. lol
I find it amazing that one day you have snow and the next it's gone lol
Its good to have a decent neighbor.
Have you thought about selling your thicker off-cuts to wood turners as bowl blanks? Looks like you could get a bowl or 2
Looking at the way you move this wood around is amazing.. I was watching you load this log and looking it the mill. Could you extend the bed rails and make another gantry with a winch to lift and move the logs?
Once all this stuff is dried, I’m really curious about how it is sold. Do you have wholesale connections who will buy most of a stack? Or do you just rely on the Craig’s List crowd to buy a piece at a time? And then how do you make the slabs available to view? It’s not like you’ve got a massive warehouse where you can store the slabs on edge. What will these beauties weigh when dried? Can two people man-handle their way down a stack to get to that perfect slab? Can they stack/unstack without creative winching? Or will they pick-out via video which slabs they want and you end up digging it out for them? And once all of your current logs are cut and stacked, and the yard is packed, are you then out of the milling business until this batch is dried, some inventory is moved and more space is freed up?An in-depth discussion in one of your videos would be most enlightening.
You must have some great neighbors.
CROTCH! Love the videos Matt!
+earle0024 thanks!
on my mill i had to have sharp blades for it to cut flat. your mill works better than mine. i believe it is because you are using steel wheels were mine had 30'' trailer tires,and you are able to put more tension on the blade than i was able to. i had 2000 dollars in my mill. sold it for 4000. couldn't sale any slabs was the reason i sold it. planning on building a swing mill soon.
could you give a breakdown of your I love it
You've really knocked down that pile of trees.
+Jordan M getting close to the finish line
Hey Matt, awesome figure . Gets the creative juices flowing.
Hey Matt, send some of that cold air here and I'll return some of this AZ heat. So many beautiful slabs. When you building the kiln?
It looks like you have done a lot of planning to do all of that stuff
Really nice pieces of wood you have there, love your mill, I assume it is homemade? Your trailer too, well done sir!
BTW I saw your re broom with the bent handle, looks like exactly the same broom I bought here in Tokyo at a home center, mine bent in exactly the same place!
Cheers!
A winch truck would be handy moving those big logs.
from all the heavy lifting you do matt, an all terrain extendable boom fork lift might be in your future. that, or a lot of back pains. great work though, beautiful slabs you have cut up
Excellent work on the build of the mill!! Any chance you made a set of plans?? Got some monster ambrosia maple logs way too big for my LT40 super, and dont want waste any of it with the chainsaw mill!! Thanks
Your neighbors must either love or hate you. How loud is the mill?
Good question...
+Frank Heubner much less noise than my chainsaw
What about all the logs etc... lying around? They don't complain?
Frank Heubner they love him because any time they need a cup of slab they just go in his yard and get it.
Chuck i would think if they didn't like the view, they would build a fence. They shouldn't complain. I wouldn't.
fantastic matt, i love seeing each log unwrapped, its better then Christmas presents, am i sick or what.....naw...im more then normal...lol....
Its like a car wreck, cant take my eyes off of the vid. Each new slab is more beautiful than the one before. Looks like you have a bunch more to go. How long will it take for these to dry? You probably said how long in a previous video. Thanks so much for sharing. I noticed you have a lot of homes around you. Do any of your neighbors give you a hard time about all the logs and maybe noise. I sure hope not.
Impressive material handling skills. I was hoping your neighbor would come by and help you.
