    Hi Emerald. Not sure if you have seen the YT channel called "Out of the Woods". As you are now cutting Hard Woods, it may be useful to meet up with that guy and do a video together - would be useful to pick up tips as he cuts a lot of hardwood on a Woodmiser Sawmill It will also expose your channel to his subscribers and vice versa - should help your channel subs grow. He has also made a lot of improvements to his Woodmiser Sawmill to make it easier to operate and has a lot of tricks he has developed over the last few years to help him cut more accurately and efficiently. I think it would be very beneficial for you to get in touch and try do something together.

      I kinda thought the same some time ago as i watched his channel as well. Unfortunately i became disenchanted with his channel after watching him burn wood that as he himself stated is not worth his time and his attitude towards giving it to someone else that could find a use for it. Im one state over from him and could find 20 individuals with wood stove heated shops that would be happy to come pick up his waste to use in their stoves. This family goes out of their own way to be waste concious. Certainly not birds of a feather.

    My father-in-law always heated his house with slabs, which he called hog slats from the local saw mill, he would take his flat bed dump truck and buy a load,for penny's on the dollar and cut them to length which he burned in the wood stove and used as his primary heat source during the winter months !! Smart Man that Grady was !!

    Hi Em
    I noticed that you square up the log and then cut the cant into boards from top to bottom. If you are selling them for construction grade that is fine, but if you want to sell for furniture you should cut boards from all the sides and then edge them. That way you stay away from the heat which is very low quality for furniture. Randy

    • @tonyseidita5766
      @tonyseidita5766 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Randy is correct. You need to learn to saw around the heartwood and to put the knots on the edges so they get edges off as well. Keep up the good work.

    I have a good 50 to 75 ponderosa pine on my land in southern Oregon. People say it's valuable. I never got much into selling wood. Just got into learning to work with it. I personally like hard woods so I can build stronger structures with them instead of the softwoods. I wonder how much each tree is worth? They are full size trees. Maybe 2 and a half to 3 feet wide. Beautiful looking trees.

    It is always fun trying to explain how black and pin oak can give red oak lumber! The white oak is the only one that lives up to it's name, white oak lumber. White oak has a neat trait as a board can be placed one end in a bucket of water and you blow into the other end, air bubbles will show up in the bucket.

    @samvincent3893 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi! I enjoy watching your videos and I am impressed with the work ethic and skill of the young lady "Sawyers." I am a retired Lumberman and Sawyer who built and owned several conventional soft and hardwood mills, the largest, a hardwood mill in East Texas that produced about 10mm board feet/year.
    I've never owned or operated a Woodmizer mill, but of course, I'm well acquainted with the brand and type, having been around since the 1st ones came out. My mills always had a circular headrig, but I had a couple with band linebars and resaws.
    I have a couple of questions if you have the time and inclination to answer.
    One....what kind of production are you able to achieve with your mill? I would guess that 500-700 feet/hour is going to be a good number given my observation of your feed rate.
    Two...obviously, hardwood is going to be a lot tougher on blades than a softwood. How often do you sharpen/replace blades? Do you run coolant/ lubricant?
    Three....I'm not being critical but you seem to slab heavy. Are you trying for a 4" or 6" opening face? Does the blade tend to snake or run out if you're a little shallow in your cut?
    I won't bother you anymore. I'm just an old sawmill man who can't get the sawdust out of my cuffs! My wife complains if we go on a trip, because if we go past a small sawmill, I have to stop and talk.b
    Keep up the fine work and I'll keep watching!

  • @paulkramer4176
    @paulkramer4176 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm, I assume the saw takes a bit longer to cut thru the oak than hemlock. I think most contractors or dyi would prefer the hemlock for construction, but for trim and for finer stuff, sure, the red oak. Select the oak boards, for the clear or quarter or rift saw, set aside and dry it. Then you can probably sell it quickly for $4/ bd ft. or more. Nice logs.

    I wonder if you could replace that log deck with a Woodmizer Hydraulic Log Deck ? If you could, all you would need to do, is set the logs on the log deck, and let the hydraulics move the log up to the LT40 loader arms. Sure would save time, and the wear and tear moving those heavy logs around by hand. It would be a nice thing to have, when they eventually upgrade to a larger sawmill.
