You are a good friend and always so generous, please be cautious and have anyone coming to your property to sign a waiver releasing you from any liability in the event they are injured. People have lost every thing due to unfortunate accidents on their property.
OMG!!! MY FAVORITE PART OF THE VIDEO!!! MILLING WOOD!!!! I LOVE THIS PART!!! WATCHING A TREE BECOME A PIECE OF ART!!! WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT????
@@Nana_1958 I love buying antique furniture and bringing it back to what it used to be. Just seeing the life of the the furniture again. Especially if someone had painted it and the wood is an oak or a walnut.
Hey Dutch when you open the shute for the sawdust can you run a twine thru one side to other tie it together so you pull the twine through to knock out the sawdust to keep it from clogging up the shute.
Friends are very helpful. We have a saw mill, a little different than that one. Maybe your band sounds like it needs sharpening, use a Dremel tool to sharpen it. Should cut faster than that. We milled all the boards for our home. Timber off our land. We have blued pine in some places.
Dutch, God bless you for your generous heart! Its a trait that I can see in every member of your family. You and Brandy are doing so good as parents. Your neighbours seem lovely. Ronnie picked it up so quickly just as you said. Keep them coming those lumber posts, as a 50 year old lady, I still find them enjoyable! God bless you all and your lovely neighbours also.. 🙏✝❤
Hello Dutch. Thats nice you are going to let them mill trees for themselves too. I hope your back gets healed. Been praying for you. Let the boys pick those slabs up and move it and let your back heal. I felt for you.
I love watching you mill up wood! Wish there was smell a vision! I bet the wood being cut smells wonderful. Nice to have help when your hurt. Great video! God bless.😊❤
I really enjoyed watching you all milling the wood. It brings back memories of going to the saw mill once a month,and filling garbage bags with shavings for bedding my horses. The scenery there is beautiful on your property. I hope you have a great day ❤️🙂⚘️🚜.
Have you tried tying a pillowcase to the blowout to catch the sawdust? Sawdust can be mixed with glue to make moldable small items, or used as a filler for cracks/ divets in the wood/imperfections. Sometimes changing the position of the machinery with the wind direction can backfire as the wind may change also.
I like to watch the milling of beautiful natural wood. I remember when you n friend Kevin milled and he made very nice items from some of that. So nice friends came to help and learn. Back issues really put a junk in activity. You must rest it to get healing, so be careful. My husband had chronic back trouble, even had surgery. It helped when he wore a back support that you can get over the counter.
Cut that end off just big enough to fit an outside dryer vent over it and put a trash can underneath to catch up all of the sawdust. Stuff is like gold for gardens, animal bedding (especially cedar) and to de-mud the pens a little.
If you hit metal with that saw blade It is dull thats why the chips are dust and it cuts really slow. Buy a new blade, or send that one out to get it sharpened, the tips of the teeth should be sharp. The metal bar you hit dulled the teeth, trust me. Watch some of the guys who run sawmills, your siding should be 3/4" rough cut you could do 4/4 and surface plane them in a 13" lunchbox thickness plane. On the peacock barn lapped siding would look better and be more water tight. Overlapping each course 3 or 4" starting at the bottom with a starter strip nailing the top of each corse. Large head nails or screws ceramic coated.
I think there are several best parts about them being there. 1. You are teaching them how to use the saw mill, how it can save them a lot of money (especially with lumber prices right now), and they are helping you. 2. The sons are getting father/son time with their Dad, learning new skills, learning new equipment and how it can be used to help them to be more self-reliant. 3. The memories the boys will have of spending time with their Dad where they all are learning something new will last a life time. Yes, I am the softie. Thank you for sharing your skills and equipment with others, reminds me of life in the good old days.
You might clean the muffler /air filter once a month, and keep some W D 40 or use a water tank with a hose hanging down to keep the blade lubed or a block of wax rubbing the blade makes less drag and makes the blades last longer ,Go over and tighten all bolts every time you use it ! a flex hose put like on a dryer on dust discharge in a plastic 55 gal drum save dust to fill in cracks in then paint over siding and keeps down dust to, hope this helps
My friend has one of these and last year he milled me 2x10 by 8ft slabs for my raised garden. That mill is amazing and raw wood takes forever to rot also. It’s an awesome machine to watch!
I was just going to say this. Another TH-camr i follow cut out the "cross" from the discharge tube, then they screwed a 2-3' length of (I think) old 4 inch fire hose he got from his local fire hall. Works well.
Thats really generous to let your friends use the sawmill. Not many people would do that, maybe for fear of someone breaking it. To have good friends you must be a good friend. I enjoy watching your projects. I think your peacocks are going to enjoy the run, especially if you build some perches in the run as well as in the shelter. That way when its wet they can get off the ground. Just curious if you'll start letting them free range at some point the way Bobby used to do.
Husband said to tell you …. Nice planks ….. and he doesn’t comment about things very often. Matter of fact, he really likes your channel. Hubby is 77 and was in the Air Force during Vietnam Nam. He’s a very good man too. I think he likes watching you cause you were in the military. Blessings over y’all from OKC.❤
Alert, you have a metal hook in the top center of your gazebo. You can hang a 12volt fan/light under it. Battery powered or off one of your solar power packs. Pretty cool idea I believe
🇦🇺Under the pergola you should put pavers down or concrete. With the saw mill, the door where the sawdust holes are, could you drill holes in the bottom plate for more dust to come out? Less build up that way.
What about putting it under a carport. That way it does not get wet for rain. You could put tarps on the side when not in use. Make the carport longer than what the mill is so you can still use your bobcat to load logs. oh and I would put it on a rock floor so it stays level better. Just an idea.
Yippee milling videos!!!💙 I love watching these. It was another day in the mid 90s today with chances of storms but so far nothing in north Eastern Ohio. Looked like it was going to rain a couple times but never did. Glad you got the sawmill fixed and ready to go. Hopefully more milling videos in the near future.
I loved the video. You have enough wood that you could make a building to take a shower after they swim. Just a suggestion. Loved the gazebo. You did a great job on it.
That sawmill is really cool 😎! Looks like your friend Ronny and one of his sons really liked that machine 😊! Glad you all had a chance to mill up some wood for the peacock shelter 😁! Take care out there, God Bless🙏🏻💕😊!
Make a stand out at the road and the girls can sell the extra eggs. You can cut lumber for the townspeople for extra money. Make a compost barrel and use it in a vegetable garden.
You’re a fantastic neighbor. I tell you can’t find people like you that much anymore. Everybody wants to be stingy you can true Christians that loves God loves people and don’t love God you can tell but you love God and you love people your good man and God bless you.
This is a great video! Sawmill brings me back memories of my Grandad. Sean, how long between blade changes due to dullness and could this be related to the earlier problems shown on this video? Also, I really appreciate how your children are devoted to helping. Seems like great parenting and lots of love is being given out. 👍🤠
Love the gazebo, very sturdy looking. Maybe cut out the holes and screw on a pvc 90 angle to deflect downwards. Do you also have spare blades onsite? Something to consider, as they need to be changed frequently.
Thanks. I enjoy watching the saw mill work. Love that you get to mill your own lumber. That gazebo is very interesting and not super expensive for what it was. It’s just not practical for me at this time. Couple years ago it would have been perfect and I’d a bought it in a heart. Beat.
Great vidio... couple of suggestions for you, first get rid of that exhaust plate with one inch holes in it. Then find some ducting and point it down for a couple feet. That should point your sawdust down. Good luck!!
Yeah, in UT we've had triple digits or 90's for the last two months. We could use some rain to rid us of the CA smoke. Your place is lookin' good. Like that pocket drone 😊
God bless y'all I like the metal gazebo I wood put down some pavers and then sprayed some ready mix over the pavers that would help with snake watch just a thought God bless y'all keep doing what y'all do just saying 😎..
I saw a sawmill similar to yours that had a gunnysac bag connected to the sawdust exhaust area. It caught the majority of the sawdust which was used for multiple purposes on their homestead. Great videos! Love your site.
Watch Lumber Capital Log Yard with Emerald and Jade running all kinds of milling equipment! Their equipment has a long tube angled towards the ground and it leaves the sawdust in a row for saving the sawdust for other uses! This is a professional outdoor milling operation and the whole family is involved with the company!
Shawn, here in Central TX we are expecting c extreme hot weather too. Yall are blessed. I loved going to swimming holes as a child. God is goof. Enjoy the bk t ending F s😅
I sure hope you can figure out why the mill isn’t cutting it at ease. You are very generous Dutch. You should make a long picnic table for the creek camping area. Have a great evening. Donald and Lisa
I wanna mill wood. I have wanted to for over 20 years. It’s so cool. And satisfying. And saves so much money. My 1st husband was not buying me a mill even though he was born to build. lol. My current husband isn’t buying me one either. One day! Imma have some land and buy me a mill !!! I would come over to use your mill and have you film it but I live in NJ 🤣 My brother’s BIL has triplets. They are teens now. My brother has twins. So family get together were always fun because we couldn’t tell the triplets apart because we didn’t see them enough. I grew up with twins as friends and I could tell them apart from across the street.
Move the switch down to a lower level for the shorter person to operate lol...... Place a cover over the engine as it will keep rain and slow down rusting.
Can't you get or make an attachment to deflect the sawdust downward? I'd certainly do that before moving it. The wind shifts and you're back to where you were. Very neighborly of you to share the mill and of them to help you out.😊
Lot of good sewers who know a lot about how your or any sawmill should run. Feel free to ask them questions. Most of these guys make a living from it. But with any tool you take a risk of someone other then you doing damage to it. Be careful about letting others use it.

I'm glad you have help. You don't want to screw your back up again😢😢. Be careful. ❤❤❤.
Help is few and far between these days.
Good you have neighbors.
I have the same sun joy gazebo. I have had it about 6 yrs now and still looks good
From someone with bad hearing loss due to loud noise, I hope everyone is at lease wearing ear buds…so nice of you to share your mill.
You are a good friend and always so generous, please be cautious and have anyone coming to your property to sign a waiver releasing you from any liability in the event they are injured. People have lost every thing due to unfortunate accidents on their property.
Makes no difference in alot of states!
Thank heavens for friends that have the same interests

You could make each girl a hope chest or keepsake/jewelry box or some patio chairs…the options are endless.❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
An old fashioned hope chest would be awesome 😊! Or a ‘treasure box’ so sweet 🥰! Good ideas 💡!
I really enjoyed watching you all milling the wood. It brings back memories of going to the saw mill once a month,and filling garbage bags with shavings for bedding my horses. The scenery there is beautiful on your property. I hope you have a great day ❤️🙂⚘️🚜.
Hi Dutch. Great to have friends. Love watching yall working with the sawmill. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Have you tried tying a pillowcase to the blowout to catch the sawdust? Sawdust can be mixed with glue to make moldable small items, or used as a filler for cracks/ divets in the wood/imperfections. Sometimes changing the position of the machinery with the wind direction can backfire as the wind may change also.
That was cool to watch that.
Thank goodness for friends with the same things you are interested you are in. Helps you rest your back.
That first slab would make a beautiful counter top or table top for your gazebo.
Hey Dutch, the pergola is quite nice , looks pretty solid. You sure have some good wood to mill from the Creek Property. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
learning so much watching - enjoy - wonderful young ladies
That Pergola/Gazebo is wonderful!
Can put the picnic table under it too.❤🎉😊
That was an awesome video.

Dutch, you’re a great friend and I love the way you think. Such a good heart🩷 sharing is caring
I think it might be time to change that blade.
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
You might clean the muffler /air filter once a month, and keep some W D 40 or use a water tank with a hose hanging down to keep the blade lubed or a block of wax rubbing the blade makes less drag and makes the blades last longer ,Go over and tighten all bolts every time you use it ! a flex hose put like on a dryer on dust discharge in a plastic 55 gal drum save dust to fill in cracks in then paint over siding and keeps down dust to, hope this helps

WOW. EXCITING NEWS. 😊👌 Be safe 🙏
Great milling machine...saves you lots of money....Like the gazebo....Stay safe and catch you soon
Creek property looking good. Love seeing the sawmill running brings back memories.
❤watching the milling. Beautiful wood.
Maybe connect a flexible tubing like a large drainage pipe/ dryer hose to guide the sawdust down and away?
I was just going to say this. Another TH-camr i follow cut out the "cross" from the discharge tube, then they screwed a 2-3' length of (I think) old 4 inch fire hose he got from his local fire hall. Works well.

DUTCH I WOULD GET A BOX FAN AND PLACE IT AT THE TOP OF THE GAZEBO. YOU COULD TURN THE FAN SIDEWAYS SO IT BLOWS DOWN TO KEEP YOU COOL. JUST AN IDEA.
Husband said to tell you …. Nice planks ….. and he doesn’t comment about things very often. Matter of fact, he really likes your channel. Hubby is 77 and was in the Air Force during Vietnam Nam. He’s a very good man too. I think he likes watching you cause you were in the military. Blessings over y’all from OKC.❤
Sawdust is like campfire smoke, no matter where you are it’s going to follow you.
My mom used to say "smoke follows beauty".
Make sure it’s anchored cause it will sail in high winds.
I loved when you get excited about things. It's fun.
Alert, you have a metal hook in the top center of your gazebo. You can hang a 12volt fan/light under it. Battery powered or off one of your solar power packs. Pretty cool idea I believe

Looked like it was going to rain a couple times but never did. Glad you got the sawmill fixed and ready to go. Hopefully more milling videos in the near future.
The logs need to dry out. The natural moisture in the wood is what's clogging your vent on the blade.
Praise God for such good friends!
I loved the video. You have enough wood that you could make a building to take a shower after they swim. Just a suggestion. Loved the gazebo. You did a great job on it.
Loved the milling. Next time show more of the grain of the wood. Love to see what it looks like. So beautiful. 🙏❤️
make sure to clean out the sawdust after every use.
❤ That enclosure is going to be a thing of beauty 😊
This was interesting. Glad you had help.
Dutch add some Dawn dish soap to your watrr it will help your blade. See Outdoors With the Morgans and ask Mike Morgan about the ratio.
Awesome job! Love you all so much! Continued prayers, and God bless ❤❤
Love seeing the milling - then what you use it for. Cool.
That sawmill is really cool 😎! Looks like your friend Ronny and one of his sons really liked that machine 😊! Glad you all had a chance to mill up some wood for the peacock shelter 😁! Take care out there, God Bless🙏🏻💕😊!
Great job most enjoyable thanks. Always good to have friends with the same mind set. Chris from England

Yeah we need much needed rain here in Colorado due to wildfires going on
God bless y'all I like the metal gazebo I wood put down some pavers and then sprayed some ready mix over the pavers that would help with snake watch just a thought God bless y'all keep doing what y'all do just saying 😎..
Thanks for utube your extra help heard and came
I saw a sawmill similar to yours that had a gunnysac bag connected to the sawdust exhaust area. It caught the majority of the sawdust which was used for multiple purposes on their homestead. Great videos! Love your site.
Boys love their toys. God bless you all.
Attach a flexible piece of rubber to the mill to make a shoot to direct saw dust.
Maybe 🤔 try a long handled dust pan brush to clean out the sawdust or a paint brush. Worth a try anyway. Glad you have some help.
Nice to have help

Don't lower the backside of the Peacock pen. Use the whole length of the slab. Would make it nicer.
That is so awesome your friend came to help you thats a very good friend and his boys
Those rough cuts would make some interesting seats, ect, down there by the river.

Shawn I wish I lived by y’all , I would use mill a do my new chicken coop. I learn a lot watching y’all even though I’m in my 60 .😃
Hey Dutch , I'm glad you got the saw worked out , lets plain🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Nice gazebo ❤
Chipmunks are in the engine flywheel area
Move the switch down to a lower level for the shorter person to operate lol......
Place a cover over the engine as it will keep rain and slow down rusting.
That was fascinating! Thank you! From a blisteringly hot Japan...
Thank you too!

This is awesome!!
