We had a '70 GMC camper special my parents bought new. It was the same gold/white with the faux wood trim, etc. The only difference was the bed was 8 1/2 foot long. I loved that truck.
Beautiful wood. I hate when I get my mill stuck on wide cuts, time consuming and frustrating. You handled it well. I have difficulty backing up, even with wedging the cut. Have damaged some blades before.Working on some huge red oak logs now. Some day I'll get up the nerve to post a video, yours are great. I think you are hooked on this sawing!
Ray Zickrick I had a 72 blazer that color too, here in Alaska. I almost had the DMV lady convinced to list the color as baby poop yellow when her supervisor walked up. She shut that idea down.
Looked like very nice slabs. You made, if I counted correctly, 16 cuts. what would you chard for that work. It obviouly took more time than the video time.?
I charge $85 an hour for hardwood milling. 2 hour minimum if I mill on-site. Since they brought the logs to me there was no minimum. It only took less than an hour. They gave me $100 if I remember correctly.
I have. I did a demonstration for an actual lumber mill near by about a year or so ago. They just called me again a couple days ago wanting me to come back. They’re looking at an LT 70.
Right, I remember watching this, in your safety vests & the over kill loader? 🌲👷♂️👷♂️👍, I just received my hat, coffee cup & paper work, looking forward to doing one myself. I had just over 40hrs on my lt35 manual, and I am at almost 50 hrs on my newer lt40 wide! I feel like I can work my way threw most logs as of yet! Knock on wood!🌲💪👷♂️👍
The possibilities are only limited by their imagination. You can make live-edge shelves or tables. You can cut the edges off and make straight lumber to build anything you’d want to out of wood. Search “epoxy river table”. Those are a very popular use for slabs right now.
I’m just not that talented, no imagination, but I still love watch the pros work. Very impressive. My dream would be to build my retirement home/cabin. Getting some great ideas watching your channel and some others. Thumbs up as always.
Oh wow! At 6:00 - the extremely seldom seen, but much sought after, reverse thrust sawdust. I never believed folk when they told me about it, but there it is. And at 11:00 too!
There’s a guy who cut the center portion out of top and welded in a filler section and made it at least a foot wider. He’s in Canada and gets some really wide logs
Northwest Sawyer That’s a good thing. I have been looking at Norwood and cooks but everybody raves about the Wood Mizer customer service. Since they all cut wood that seems to be the big advantage to me so far.
I WAS SAWING UP SOME SPALTED MAPLE TODAY NOT AS BIG AS YOURS THOUGH. MINE WERE 4-5' LONG AND 34" WIDE. MAN THAT STUFF IS HARD. WHAT BLADE WERE YOU USING?
They’re making a table out of some of it for a beach house. I’m still in contact with them. They’re going to send me some video when it’s done so I can post an update.
That table will probably be awesome. I saw some really beautiful grain in a couple of the planks. I don't think I'd want to be the one to move it. It's going to be heavy.
Nothing confirmed. I had a guy contact my a few months ago about a really big job in SW Portland somewhere but I haven't heard anything since. If I get a job that I'm dropping off a sample for tomorrow, I'll be doing some beam sawing in Wilsonville soon.
Northwest Sawyer im in the hillsboro area. Im playing around on 50 acers of mature everything. Mostly blow down. Got 2 massive cedars laying beside eachother i maybe interested in sharing if thats your type of thing.
36" is the biggest diameter my mill can handle but I'd be happy to talk about possibly working a trade. Shoot me an email to 5tonfabrication@gmail.com and we can go from there.
Northwest Sawyer I'll try to make it happen in the next few weeks. I have 4 videos still waiting to be exited and posted and this tropical depression has had it monsoon like here.
Nice looking old Chevy your visitors were in!💪👍👍

What a great mill! One day! I see you’re tinkering with your editing, looks good! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Fall Line Ridge. Just having a little fun. I’ll say it again. I never thought I’d own a mill like this. Never say never!
Totally enjoy your videos, would love to cut with you!👍👍🌲👷♂️
That was a satisfied customer, even delighted. Good job.

Great video. Looked like fun and that wood was really nice!
I saw that gold/yellow pick-up and it reminded me of my 72' Blazer I bought in Denver in 85'. Beautiful maple.

Thanks for sharing, awesome slabs. God bless
Hi from the west coast of Scotland really enjoying the videos, many thanks Grant
Thank you, Grant. I've been to the west coast of Scotland! Beautiful country out there!
I sure hope you charge for that work Happy New Year my friend...Love from the UK
Awesome video and pretty wood. I would love to have a mill that nice one day
Beautiful maple that seemed to go well; heard perfectly, I switched computers. Thanks.
Great video. That was some nice maple!
Beautiful maple planks.

Nice job!
Those planks would make a beautiful floor. Cool video.
Have you participated in the Woodmizer Pro Sawyer program / training to neighbors or co-workers yet? It so how it went & your thoughts!🌲👷♂️👍

Non woodworking guy here. What do people do with slabs?
The possibilities are only limited by their imagination. You can make live-edge shelves or tables. You can cut the edges off and make straight lumber to build anything you’d want to out of wood. Search “epoxy river table”. Those are a very popular use for slabs right now.

@@KJC2025 thank you! I appreciate that.
Cutting slabs like this and end grain slabs or cookies is my sole intent with the mill I bought.
Looks like a good time! What kind of maple is that? Looks different then our maples here in Ohio.
Oh wow! At 6:00 - the extremely seldom seen, but much sought after, reverse thrust sawdust. I never believed folk when they told me about it, but there it is. And at 11:00 too!

Wood-Mizer has a mill coming out next year that will cut a 54.5” slab. I’m waiting to see that.

That’s a good thing. I have been looking at Norwood and cooks but everybody raves about the Wood Mizer customer service. Since they all cut wood that seems to be the big advantage to me so far.
Kevin, I have had an excellent experience with their customer service. Long after the sale.
nice maple. ive turned several bowls from it and every piece seems to be different.
Nice video, beautiful wood! But as an Eye Doc, I gotta say; where are your safety glasses!
As a guy with only two eyes, I have to say, you’re right. I usually wear them and a respirator.
the eye candy in the check shirt nice touch
You make it look easy
5:36 What did you find at this spot to give the guy the excited reaction??
I honestly don’t know. I think the saw may have barley cleared or rubbed right there
I WAS SAWING UP SOME SPALTED MAPLE TODAY NOT AS BIG AS YOURS THOUGH. MINE WERE 4-5' LONG AND 34" WIDE. MAN THAT STUFF IS HARD. WHAT BLADE WERE YOU USING?
I was a 10 degree Wood-Mizer double hard. This wood was starting to spalt and a little soft in spots. Even some termites.
will the planks be dried and then sawed down again?
They’ve been drying since I sawed them. They plan to make a table out of some of the slabs which will involve some resawing.
@@NorthwestSawyer Thanks! I'm always curious to know some of the different uses for these large pieces.
I need a set of those tongs for dragging logs. My are good for lift, but not dragging.
Tractor Supply .... bout 80.00 a piece
Dillons Woodworks he said he got them on amazon. They worked great!
Did those guys say what they're going to use the planks for?
They’re making a table out of some of it for a beach house. I’m still in contact with them. They’re going to send me some video when it’s done so I can post an update.
That table will probably be awesome. I saw some really beautiful grain in a couple of the planks. I don't think I'd want to be the one to move it. It's going to be heavy.
just curious why didn't you trin the edges
They’re making live-edge tables.
Can i come by and help sometime?
1na row absolutely
Northwest Sawyer got any jobs on the west side coming up?
Nothing confirmed. I had a guy contact my a few months ago about a really big job in SW Portland somewhere but I haven't heard anything since. If I get a job that I'm dropping off a sample for tomorrow, I'll be doing some beam sawing in Wilsonville soon.

I have those same tongs...bent after a few uses😕
What species of maple. Sawing would have been easier if the cant was squared
Not sure on the species. They picked the logs up from a firewood outfit. They were wanting live-edge slabs so I didn’t saw cants.
You need to get a set of forks for your tractor.
I did! 😬. th-cam.com/video/H2DRAY4ZbCo/w-d-xo.html
a reall man a shave ever morning
Great spelling....🤦🏼♂️
How much yuo paiy
For what?
I think I'm going to do a video on how to squeeze about 25" of cut on an lt35 soon.
I’d watch that!
Northwest Sawyer I'll try to make it happen in the next few weeks. I have 4 videos still waiting to be exited and posted and this tropical depression has had it monsoon like here.
monsoon is good editing weather 😬
Northwest Sawyer not when you have an automotive painting business, woodworking business and no personal time lol
What’s personal time?😂
as much as you cut , how come you don't make money , off of your saw dust,,,,,,,,,,,,daysinger
