Happy New Year from the good Ole USA. She is an awesome lady, and that timber was a pleasure to mill. Thank you for checking out our video. There are a lot more that we think you like. Thank you again, and we hope to see you in the comments again.
Built a lot of custom furniture over the years out of pine, cherry, western red oak, and some walnut. Never had the good luck to see red oak like that you mill. Thanks for the milling. Learning a lot
The red and white oak are beautiful around here. Not to hard to work with. Makes some great furniture. I have a stash of curly red oak that is rarely seen. I'm waiting for a special project, to use it. It's not quarter sawn, but curly. Like you see with curly cherry or maple. Planning a quarter sawing video in the future.
@@robertrussnogle7449 I didnt get video of the sawing g, but i did get some video of the red oak I did last summer. Some really wide quarter sawed boards. It's in the video, "Shiwing a red oak who's boss" Not sure if you saw it, but check it out.
Hello TC. We have our share of dishonesty here as well. We do have security in place to prevent issues. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. We try to do it right. Always working at improving though.
The mills vids are awesome would also love to see you turn them into great item either turned or furniture would be awesome and loved how she let you know she’s tough and can do her share lol
Thank you John. We do have a bar build video on the channel. Need to get some time in the shop to make more. Just got some better camera equipment to help with that as well.
Donald Kennedy, thank you, and thank you for checking out our channel. The communication headsets really help. We can chat back and forth without yelling over the noise of the machine.
Ahhh yes. One of our earlier, uncut, unedited videos that show everything. We've learned a few things since then. LOL Thanks for dozing to our video. ;)
Hello Bill, and welcome to the mill. It was a pleasure milling such high quality logs. We were thrilled to be able to get to them, before the loggers did. Glad you liked the video. Hope to see you in the comment section again.
Hi, I noticed in the early part of the video what looks like sparks coming out of the left hand side , this had gone by about 17 minutes which got me thinking would a drop of oil on the blade help with the life of the blades ?
Hello, and welcome to the mill. I believe what you saw was a glint of sun light off of the sawdust. If I had hit something to create sparks, it would have dulled the blad, and ruined the cut. We do run a liquid on the blade. It a mix of 5 gallons of water, 1 cup of pine-sol, and a squirter of dawn dish soap. This keeps the blade clean, and cutting straight. Without it, the pitch would build up on the blade, creating heat, and causing the blade to fail prematurely. Tha k you for your question, and I hope to see you back soon.
Lol ..here on New year's Eve watching you mill wood. Everyone else watching some dam ball drop....I'll still be here watching you cut wood. Great videos....I love it bro!
I have to agree with you on that one David. We figured if we wanted to continue with the mill, we needed Hydraulics. The logs weren't getting any smaller. LOL
And the loading feature. I've been watching a lot of these vids. I've noticed that the 15 has a double stack to support the blade and the 10 and 35 have a single. Does not allow more wobble in the cut?
@@davidrice2862 even though the 15 has a second post, it really doesn't support it. Its not attached to it. The outer post is a guide, rather than a support. Any of the models, if adjusted properly, will cut straight as an arrow.
We can air dry down to that level or lower. Approximately 1 year per inch of thickness is the general rule. All the lumber from this video has long been sold to furniture makers / woodworkers, and they were very happy. Anyone doing steam bending can not use kiln dried lumber. Or so they tell me.
@@IronOakSawmill Thanks for the answer, yes I've heard the same about steam bending. I prefer air dried under my planes, it's just so hard to find here in the Northeast!
@@clivemossmoon3611 we have clients who buy lumber from us, and they prefer the air dried. Especially Black walnut. Kiln drying changes the overall color of the wood.

That is one of my wife's favorites. I'll need to save some of the cut offs from the outside of the log for smoking. Just need to remember not to run the blade lure on it, or it will smell like pine soll and dish soap. LOL Thanks for stopping in.
@@IronOakSawmill cherry imo is the best for smoking meats! It has a great taste that doesnt overpower or stain the meat. Tell ya what, I'm in West Virginia and I'm willing to strike a deal... I will show up on sight and cook for you and in return I can take a load of cherry home!!! Deal?
She is the BEST helper ever. Hard worker and no complaining. Could you please post the info on those headsets your'e both wearing? I'd like to look into getting some.
Thank you Rob, and welcome to the mill. Deb is awesome. I'll tell her about your compliments. She is stepping up her game as well. Check it out in some upcoming videos. We have been meaning to do a quick video about the headsets. I guess it's about time we do. Thank you for the reminder. Watch for it to be out soon. Hope to see you back in the comment section.
We like to think that we make a good crew. Things are alot better working with her. That mill is awesome. Sure beats our old LT15GO manual mill. Thank you for stopping in, and your comments.
I do agree with proper forest management. We have moved away from that, and it has left our forest vulnerable to these super destructive fires. Proper, and reasonable harvests of trees. Protection of old growth stands by removing the fuel load on the forest floor. Controlled burns, by skilled experts in the field. I'm no expert, and I'm sure there is more that can be done. These are just a few ideas that would make it much safer, and still maintain beautiful forests.
The guy that has a LT15 mill built Solar Kim, It work on the principal Of how your car heats up in the sun with all the windows are up. He told me that Green lumber was ready to sell in 30 days with it. He has a video out on how to build it.
I would like a kiln but have limited space here. Also, I have a good amount of people who prefer air dried, over kiln dried. Especially when it comes to black walnut.
That thing can push, pull, and drag, but dont ask it to lift these logs. LOL This tractor has done more than I thought it could, but a bigger machine would be nice. For now, it's just us, and our little beast. Thanks for checking in.
Hello, and welcome to the mill. At the time we filmed this, we had a cheap detector. It didn't find much metal, more than 1 inch deep. Our new detector work much better, and has saved us a few times. It finds the metal, and tells us how deep it is, up to 8 inches.
No room for a kiln on the property. Air drying is working great, and preferred by most of my customers. They have built some amazing pieces with this lumber.

Hello Michael, and welcome. Funny you should mention that. We just bought some from BXpanded. They work great on our bucket. I'll do a short video on them in the future. Thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for stopping at the mill.
I noticed that, but the original footage was lost, and I cant re-edit, and repost. Thank you for stopping in. I hope you find other videos here that you like.
The debarker is well worth it. You see me cleaning these because the person who dropped them, dragged them through dirt and rock. They are impaled into the bark. Normally, the debarker removes dirt, but since these logs were abused before I got them, I have to take care of the worst of it, manually, and the debarker takes care of the rest. Thank you for your question, and thank you for checking us out.
@@timhallas4275 that's part of the issue. I detect a nail, and start digging so I can pull it out. How big of a hole will I have, and how much lost lumber. I have a detector, and dont use it because I've wasted much more lumber than blades. If a log is riddled with nails, I'll junk it. Ky point is that before I reach that nail, I may be able to mill hundreds of dollars of lumber before I trash a $23 blade. I wave a wand, and detect metal. I make a cut and find a nail. I pull the nail and continue. I wave a wand, and detect metal. I make 4, 5, 6 cuts, milling hundreds of dollars of lumber, then find the nail. Pull the nail, and continue. I can afford a blade. I can't afford to trash valuable lumber, digging for a nail that I'm not exactly sure where it is, in the log. If all the nails were on the surface, that would be great. I could find them with the detector, remove them, waste no good lumber, and save a blade. Some of the nails, insulators, rocks, were put on the tree 50 or 100 years or more ago. I'd waste a lot of lumber digging to find them. I appreciate your suggestion. Do t get me wrong. If I was running a mill with a blade worth hundreds, or more, I would use a detector, and cull logs that I found metal in. Detectors are a very valuable tool in that case. I may have wasted $150 in blades by now, but sawed $1000's of dollars before I found those nails.
Hello Heidi. The scrap is usually set out for crafters to go through and pick what they want. I try to make sure very little goes to waste. If you are close enough, I can let you know when we have more. Thank you for stopping in.
That little machine works more than it should. It has definitely impressed me. We had to be creative about how we move these logs, but it's working so far. Thanks for checking us out. Come back anytime.
This is really wonderful, i would love to own one machine like that. I really love to work for myself. I also love the support that great woman is putting in. Keep it up.
@@juliussinkala8417 it is a great feeling to take a tree, and turn it into a finished product. Thank you for stopping in, and I hope you like some of the other videos.

That was an editing glitch on my end. Original has been deleted, so I cant fix the issue, and repost. I've since stopped using that editing software. TH-cam doesn't pay more for longer videos. In fact, they discourage videos over a certain length. Good question. Thank you for asking. Enjoy some other videos here on the channel.
That wasn’t very nice to say deb does just what she wants to help out if she wasn’t happy doing what she does she’d be some place else chuck does not let her over do it watch more videos you’ll see best team out there they get the work done
I enjoy your video... why such a small tractor to handle the logs?... for what you paid for that tractor you could have had a used skid steer or a much bigger tractor ...used
Thank you for watching, and for your question. The tractor was purchased used, about 4 years or more, before we out first mill. It's our all around machine here. We also use it to cut our grass. It's nice not to have to have a a separate machine. Also, if you check some of our other videos, you'll see a large skid steer. We borrow that from the neighbor if we absolutely need one. We are are luck in that respect. He is a generous person, and enjoys helping out.
You'd be amazed what these little Kubota tractors can do. I am an excavator and have one just larger than this one. It is my go to machine for much of what I do. I also own a skid steer and it is a one trick pony compared to my little tractor. Give me a tractor before a skid steer for 90% of the jobs. Small ones in many cases are better than big ones.
It's hard to tell sometimes. It's regional. More in some areas, less in others. Also, it depends on the grade of the lumber that the log yields. Check with a roughcut, hardwood provider near you, and price accordingly.
Sorry can't stand being that tight in on everything all the time! Getting Claustrophobic watching everything so close and not showing the surroundings.
We are having way too much fun to rush this. I hope some day you will be able to take time to slow down, and enjoy. Until then, you can join us here on the mill.
Not sure what you mean by "starting it over". It's a milling video with us showing different aspects of the work. We milled a few logs, and chatted about what we do and how we do it.
@@IronOakSawmill He means, you get to the end of the video and then it starts again - the whole thing repeats from the beginning. In other words, it it twice as long as it needs to be!
@@MarkVickers1 then everyone gets to enjoy the video twice. If you dont want to watch it again, I have other to watch. Just trying to double the pleasure.
Urban logging has been working well. We do have some metal issues now and then. I've learned to saw to relieve stress in the cant due to "city growth". Overall, it's been yielding a quality product, saved alot of logs from the dump, and has proven profitable. Yes, I would like to saw "woods trees", but competing with the larger mills for purchasing logs would eat most profit. We do get a good amount of these logs from lot clearing, which is where these came from. The front of the lot was untouched. The house was set well off the road. The owner wanted to clear most of the trees, clear the underbrush, and manicure the front of the lot, so these are "woods trees".
1x6 pine at $2936 per thousand-- that's more than 3 times the CME price-- for kiln dried and dressed, who are you kidding????Marv 65 yers in the business, please send me your customer list.

I'm sorry my friend, but I am trying to translate your comment. The online translators are not very good. It sounds like you have some very old timber on your lands. I hope you enjoy them as I do. The logs I mill here are salvaged logs that were headed for land fills, or fireplaces. I work with 2 different tree service companies where I get my logs. Storm damage, and hazard trees are what I cut mostly. I rarely cut trees simply to mill them into lumber. I would much rather see the tree alive, growing, and cleaning the air that we breathe. These trees that I,m milling will live on in different products, for many people to enjoy for centuries I hope. Take care my friend, and please come back again.
Je suis désolé mon ami, mais j'essaie de traduire votre commentaire. Les traducteurs en ligne ne sont pas très bons. On dirait que vous avez du très vieux bois sur vos terres. J'espère que vous les apprécierez comme moi. Les grumes que je fabrique ici sont des grumes récupérées destinées à des décharges ou à des foyers. Je travaille avec 2 sociétés de services d'arbres différentes où je récupère mes journaux. Les dégâts causés par la tempête et les arbres dangereux sont ce que j'ai coupé principalement. Je coupe rarement des arbres simplement pour les transformer en bois d'oeuvre. Je préférerais de beaucoup voir l’arbre vivant, grandir et purifier l’air que nous respirons. J'espère que ces arbres que je cultiverai vivront dans des produits différents, dont beaucoup de gens pourront profiter pendant des siècles. Prends soin de toi, mon ami, et reviens s'il te plaît
It may actually work for smoking, but it does contain the blade lube, which is pine sol, and dawn dish soap. I turn it off for a few cuts here and there, to save some of the first cuts for smoking. Thank you for your question, and for checking in.

Nice wood what kind of a price are we looking at for the white oak at 4 quater or can I get 2 quater thanks
White oak, at today's price would be around $5 per board foot. 2/4 is possible, but some may have an upcharge for custom sawing at 2/4.
Why do you keep rotating it after a couple of cuts? Every time you do that the next boards aren’t the same width.
I dont cut for size. I cut for best yield. Turning the cant keeps stress out of the cant and the lumber coming off the mill. Keeping the grain centered in the board helps to keep them straight and true.

I do have a stack of salvaged barn beams that may need treatment.
Iron & Oak Sawmill ok I’ll report back. They’ve been a frustrating and costly source of damage
i would love to have the cherry out of your haul!!! My smoker and my customers adore that hardwood :)
That is one of my wife's favorites. I'll need to save some of the cut offs from the outside of the log for smoking. Just need to remember not to run the blade lure on it, or it will smell like pine soll and dish soap. LOL
Thanks for stopping in.
@@IronOakSawmill cherry imo is the best for smoking meats! It has a great taste that doesnt overpower or stain the meat. Tell ya what, I'm in West Virginia and I'm willing to strike a deal... I will show up on sight and cook for you and in return I can take a load of cherry home!!! Deal?

Eh I am enjoying your Chanel,I like your work you are the best where are you located my friend
She is the BEST helper ever. Hard worker and no complaining. Could you please post the info on those headsets your'e both wearing? I'd like to look into getting some.
Thank you Rob, and welcome to the mill. Deb is awesome. I'll tell her about your compliments. She is stepping up her game as well. Check it out in some upcoming videos.
We have been meaning to do a quick video about the headsets. I guess it's about time we do. Thank you for the reminder. Watch for it to be out soon.
Hope to see you back in the comment section.

Thanks Josh. Definitely appreciate it.
Good this machine for my brother
Does your brother like the machine?
What state is this is in looks like sone nice shagbark hickory logs
We are in PA. Lots of quality hickory here.
Makes sense we dont have much in vt for hickory
milling oak and hickory with your wife. You've got it made. Sure is a nice mill.
We like to think that we make a good crew. Things are alot better working with her.
That mill is awesome. Sure beats our old LT15GO manual mill.

Something flew out of the sawmill.

Thank you Marty. I cant believe I missed your comment. I hope you are enjoying some of the other videos.
Some one should, cutdown trees before forestfires! get to it make lumber for those that loose thier homes.
I do agree with proper forest management. We have moved away from that, and it has left our forest vulnerable to these super destructive fires.
Proper, and reasonable harvests of trees. Protection of old growth stands by removing the fuel load on the forest floor. Controlled burns, by skilled experts in the field.
I'm no expert, and I'm sure there is more that can be done. These are just a few ideas that would make it much safer, and still maintain beautiful forests.
The guy that has a LT15 mill built Solar Kim, It work on the principal Of how your car heats up in the sun with all the windows are up. He told me that Green lumber was ready to sell in 30 days with it. He has a video out on how to build it.
I would like a kiln but have limited space here. Also, I have a good amount of people who prefer air dried, over kiln dried. Especially when it comes to black walnut.
That thing can push, pull, and drag, but dont ask it to lift these logs. LOL This tractor has done more than I thought it could, but a bigger machine would be nice.
For now, it's just us, and our little beast.
Thanks for checking in.
Hi - how can I buy your lumber?
We sell locally. Where are you located?
Have you thought of using a metal detector to find "spikes"?
Hello, and welcome to the mill. At the time we filmed this, we had a cheap detector. It didn't find much metal, more than 1 inch deep. Our new detector work much better, and has saved us a few times. It finds the metal, and tells us how deep it is, up to 8 inches.
Boy ya need to killn that stuff
No room for a kiln on the property. Air drying is working great, and preferred by most of my customers. They have built some amazing pieces with this lumber.

You should get some clamp on forks for your bucket.
Hello Michael, and welcome.
Funny you should mention that. We just bought some from BXpanded. They work great on our bucket. I'll do a short video on them in the future.
Thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for stopping at the mill.
Good Wife!
She is absolutely the best.
Thank you . And thanks for watching
Woke up w my phone paused on this video at 56:38. I have no fucking clue how I got here.
Glad you stopped by. The video is very popular. It probably popped up on your TH-cam
Passing that trailer wheel every cut to me no accepted
A small price to keeping the mill compact and portable, yet stable.
Did you think, when you bought your sawmill you would be so busy?
We were kinda hoping we would be. This thing is keeping us busy for sure.
Very nice looking wood don’t know where your at but would be nice to get some keep up the good work nice job
Thank You Bass 167, and thank you for watching.
Seems to me this video is partly repeated?!
I noticed that, but the original footage was lost, and I cant re-edit, and repost.
Thank you for stopping in. I hope you find other videos here that you like.
I am thinking about LT35 mill, I do not see where the debarker is worth the money to have on the Mill . Could you give me your opinion
The debarker is well worth it. You see me cleaning these because the person who dropped them, dragged them through dirt and rock. They are impaled into the bark. Normally, the debarker removes dirt, but since these logs were abused before I got them, I have to take care of the worst of it, manually, and the debarker takes care of the rest.
Thank you for your question, and thank you for checking us out.
What is a price of that saw mill. I definitely want to buy one.
Google Woodmizer, they will tell you.
Check at Woodmizer.com They have a build and price section, where you can pick from many different models and options.
If we werent zoomed in it would of caught it yes lol
I guess not. Glad you were able to see it. LOL
Here's a thought. Why not, instead of crossing your fingers, buy a $150 metal detector and save yourself some blades.
At what depth?
@@IronOakSawmill: For $150 you can find detect a #4 nail at 12 inches.
@@timhallas4275 that's part of the issue. I detect a nail, and start digging so I can pull it out. How big of a hole will I have, and how much lost lumber. I have a detector, and dont use it because I've wasted much more lumber than blades.
If a log is riddled with nails, I'll junk it.
Ky point is that before I reach that nail, I may be able to mill hundreds of dollars of lumber before I trash a $23 blade.
I wave a wand, and detect metal. I make a cut and find a nail. I pull the nail and continue.
I wave a wand, and detect metal. I make 4, 5, 6 cuts, milling hundreds of dollars of lumber, then find the nail. Pull the nail, and continue.
I can afford a blade. I can't afford to trash valuable lumber, digging for a nail that I'm not exactly sure where it is, in the log.
If all the nails were on the surface, that would be great. I could find them with the detector, remove them, waste no good lumber, and save a blade. Some of the nails, insulators, rocks, were put on the tree 50 or 100 years or more ago. I'd waste a lot of lumber digging to find them.
I appreciate your suggestion. Do t get me wrong. If I was running a mill with a blade worth hundreds, or more, I would use a detector, and cull logs that I found metal in. Detectors are a very valuable tool in that case.
I may have wasted $150 in blades by now, but sawed $1000's of dollars before I found those nails.
I will take that pile of scrap if ya don't want it. I will even come and get it.
Hello Heidi. The scrap is usually set out for crafters to go through and pick what they want. I try to make sure very little goes to waste.
If you are close enough, I can let you know when we have more.
Thank you for stopping in.

Provolone Guy that's dad but I sat in my chair and thought about a guy cutting wood for 2 hours🤔
camera too close to see the wood.
Ahh yes. My early days of TH-cam. Learned alot since then and produced some much better content.
31:30 and there I was thinking, no way that little Kubota (even a nice one like that) can lift a log like one of those... LOL I see how you do it ;-)
That little machine works more than it should. It has definitely impressed me.
We had to be creative about how we move these logs, but it's working so far.

That was an editing glitch on my end. Original has been deleted, so I cant fix the issue, and repost. I've since stopped using that editing software.
TH-cam doesn't pay more for longer videos. In fact, they discourage videos over a certain length.

Acorn trees
I just watched a guy cut wood for 2 hours.
Thank for watching. I hope you get to enjoy some of our other adventures on the mill.
hahahahhaa me to!!!!!!
I enjoy your video... why such a small tractor to handle the logs?... for what you paid for that tractor you could have had a used skid steer or a much bigger tractor ...used
Thank you for watching, and for your question.
The tractor was purchased used, about 4 years or more, before we out first mill. It's our all around machine here. We also use it to cut our grass. It's nice not to have to have a a separate machine.
Also, if you check some of our other videos, you'll see a large skid steer. We borrow that from the neighbor if we absolutely need one. We are are luck in that respect. He is a generous person, and enjoys helping out.
You'd be amazed what these little Kubota tractors can do. I am an excavator and have one just larger than this one. It is my go to machine for much of what I do. I also own a skid steer and it is a one trick pony compared to my little tractor. Give me a tractor before a skid steer for 90% of the jobs. Small ones in many cases are better than big ones.
here in brazil there was a lot of sucupira wood, but it´s ending here
Hello Gerson, and welcome. Id they stop harvesting the tree for the wood?
I know they were only taking it from managed forests in the past.
8 quarter 2com oak is horse stall lumber.. They can't chew it up. They chew pine.
It does make good stall boards. I've used it for many other things, like rustic furniture. It has an awesome look to it.
Thank you for stopping in.
Oak smokes also...
Yes it does. Prefer white oak though
no
Outstanding
I wonder how much money an average white oak tree brings in
It's hard to tell sometimes. It's regional. More in some areas, less in others. Also, it depends on the grade of the lumber that the log yields.
Check with a roughcut, hardwood provider near you, and price accordingly.
Sorry can't stand being that tight in on everything all the time! Getting Claustrophobic watching everything so close and not showing the surroundings.
Some of my early video. Check out some of the others. You may find them more enjoyable.
Too much talking and too much time between the next sawed plank.
We are having way too much fun to rush this. I hope some day you will be able to take time to slow down, and enjoy. Until then, you can join us here on the mill.
hi all, it started out great but you lost me when you started it over. sorry for the thumbs down.
Not sure what you mean by "starting it over". It's a milling video with us showing different aspects of the work. We milled a few logs, and chatted about what we do and how we do it.
@@IronOakSawmill He means, you get to the end of the video and then it starts again - the whole thing repeats from the beginning. In other words, it it twice as long as it needs to be!
@@MarkVickers1 then everyone gets to enjoy the video twice. If you dont want to watch it again, I have other to watch.
Just trying to double the pleasure.
wonders why so many thin cuts to get clean cant?
Thick scrap pieces are no fun to lift. The other boards can be edged to make lumber.
Nice saw. None of my business, but you will be far ahead if you avoid “city trees” altogether.
Urban logging has been working well. We do have some metal issues now and then. I've learned to saw to relieve stress in the cant due to "city growth".
Overall, it's been yielding a quality product, saved alot of logs from the dump, and has proven profitable.
Yes, I would like to saw "woods trees", but competing with the larger mills for purchasing logs would eat most profit.
We do get a good amount of these logs from lot clearing, which is where these came from.
The front of the lot was untouched. The house was set well off the road. The owner wanted to clear most of the trees, clear the underbrush, and manicure the front of the lot, so these are "woods trees".
Iron & Oak Sawmill thanks for the perspective. Best wishes on your endeavors...

I'm sorry my friend, but I am trying to translate your comment. The online translators are not very good.
It sounds like you have some very old timber on your lands. I hope you enjoy them as I do. The logs I mill here are salvaged logs that were headed for land fills, or fireplaces. I work with 2 different tree service companies where I get my logs. Storm damage, and hazard trees are what I cut mostly. I rarely cut trees simply to mill them into lumber. I would much rather see the tree alive, growing, and cleaning the air that we breathe. These trees that I,m milling will live on in different products, for many people to enjoy for centuries I hope.
Take care my friend, and please come back again.
Je suis désolé mon ami, mais j'essaie de traduire votre commentaire. Les traducteurs en ligne ne sont pas très bons. On dirait que vous avez du très vieux bois sur vos terres. J'espère que vous les apprécierez comme moi. Les grumes que je fabrique ici sont des grumes récupérées destinées à des décharges ou à des foyers. Je travaille avec 2 sociétés de services d'arbres différentes où je récupère mes journaux. Les dégâts causés par la tempête et les arbres dangereux sont ce que j'ai coupé principalement. Je coupe rarement des arbres simplement pour les transformer en bois d'oeuvre. Je préférerais de beaucoup voir l’arbre vivant, grandir et purifier l’air que nous respirons. J'espère que ces arbres que je cultiverai vivront dans des produits différents, dont beaucoup de gens pourront profiter pendant des siècles. Prends soin de toi, mon ami, et reviens s'il te plaît
could you not save and bag some of the sawdust from the different trees you cut and sell them for a couple of bucks a bag for smoking
It may actually work for smoking, but it does contain the blade lube, which is pine sol, and dawn dish soap.
I turn it off for a few cuts here and there, to save some of the first cuts for smoking.
Thank you for your question, and for checking in.
Really disappointed. This video looked like an effort to rack up commercial time.
Can't you just get back to cutting?
This was one of our early videos. Back before we had proper editing software. We definitely improved since then. Plenty of milling in other videos. With better quality video, and editing. Check them out. I think you will agree.
