Hi Matt, a couple of months ago , I add plans off you to build a bandsaw like yours , so thank you very much. my son and I work on it weekends ,well I do a little bit, . I found getting materials in UK was quite difficult . I got electric motors this morning main motor 20hp and waiting for generator , we have electric motor and chain driven for the head and for the carriage. I'm 79 and still love watching your video's Best wishes Ron UK.
It's really satisfying watching you take what most people would send to the landfill and turning it into raw materials that will in turn be made into beautiful furniture. Very cool.
Your stacking and stickering attention to detail gives me a warm fuzzy feeling :)
A spectacular tale of a really interesting log! The best of storytelling, it inspires and teaches. Inspires me to find such logs, build trailers to haul them (learning welding and trailer design and regs along the way), and build sawmills to cut and stack them (learning sawmill design, welding again, log analysis and slab stickering along the way). We're all different. Others apparently enjoy following along with the everyday details of other people's lives. To me, 20min spent watching the family dynamic, kids, life choices, wine tastes and home searches of 'influencers', however genuine and well meaning, is 20min lost and irrecoverable from my own life. But 43min watching a great log turned into magically beautiful slabs by a person who has great skills and a true passion for it, is an investment in knowledge which will be with me forever. Thanks for the story!!
Good job, Matt nice looking wood 😮
An amazing log. Thanks for taking us along.
Matt, you are a safe and very smart guy. Any reason the other guy chose not to wear safety glasses. Makes for a life time of regret. Have learned a lot watching you. Thanks
There are only so many ways to make sawing a log look interesting. I like the action shots and drone work. Thanks for the content Matt!
I'll keep an eye on Instagram, in a couple of years, for a huge live edge conference table with a bird feeder hanging off of its edge.
Or the live-edge guitar body from the end?
Liar
lmao. Yes! Or at an art exhibit with white walls and a couple of hipsters admiring it's simplistic nature.
P
That was bothering me…… a lot. I would have been snipping that thing off right away.
I live in a house built in 1950, located in Torrance, Ca. . The floors are maple 2x7 inch and 3/4 thick. Just got done re-finishing the second room plus living room. Beautiful wood. It had been carpeted since my wifes' grampa bought the place new. Great video.
Glad to see you keep the pevey handy to roll the log!
Great video . . .just outstanding . .. I would never imagine the process . . 90 % of the excitement is I am able to see the unique inside growth history of a maple tree . . .great set up . . great job . ..
Those first few cuts will make some really nice coffee/end table tops
Can't imagine how big that maple tree was. That thing is huge.
What is there to not like about this video? Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for all your work and sharing this!
On the second slab you showed us, I’d call that pattern “candle flame,” it’s gorgeous. Very nice slabs indeed! That mill has paid for itself a thousand times over with the beauty you uncover alone😉✌🏼
Thank for taking us along brother,
👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy!
Very interesting video. Enjoyed seeing the process of breaking down this tree into slabs. Amazing color and figure!
It is so nice seeing you be able to use your mini skid steer instead of your back to move the wood. Absolutely loved your “bucket” of water!
That thing is a monster. I love the way you 'reconstruct' the log with stickers. I hadn't really seen that done but it looks awesome.
Our family has several gigantic silver Maple trees that I tap for Maple Syrup every year. Nice to get a look inside one of those giant trees. Love to see a giant conference table made out of one of those slabs. Thanks for posting this and the other videos.
Thanks for sharing with us Matt, that’s awesome!!
That skid steer has been a boon for you in your "one man operation"....! And the spalting is glorious !
Why we love you Matt. “I’ve got a 48 inch diameter log, I better maximize the yield”
That tree will make some really neat work benches or table tops.
45mins of Matt cutting a tree up, never thought I'd watch that yet here I am... 😂
Very interesting to watch Matthew, thanks for taking the time to record the event.
Big Beefy slabs with those nice natural tattoos. Enjoyed it, thanks Matt! 🤙
Been watching you from the first segment of the sawmill build. When you were testing the mill, several logs took the whole sawmill capacity. I thought at the time, you would never cut a log that big. Oh, was I so wrong. Some of those slabs were almost at the capacity of the skid steer, got to be somewhere in the 600 lbs area. Very good video. Thanks for the time you spent in showing us this incredible log.
I gotta say that I am pretty impressed with your little skid steer (?) there.
there's some amazing table/desk tops in that log
You've come along way Matt Well done , enjoy !
In watching your shows and trying to catch up on older ones has inspired me to find and make my own live edge pour desk from a slab of white oak 8 1/4 with some bark inclusion removed, filled, and lights put in it with a nice crotch section and some compression curl, the desk is 56"L x 28"w and for my first pour I should say came out really good thank you for the inspiration.
This log is calling out for some kind of insane bookmatched 8 foot wide project.
I am loving these videos! Thanks for posting them.
That is one tough bird feeder...falling the tree,loading,unloading,sawing,and stacking...love those colors,....need a bigger bucket, matt gets the dump bucket,ain't nobody got time for small bucket....😂
This silver maple,(soft maple ) makes the greatest guitar bodys and live edge tables! That figure is off the hook!!!
I see bowls being turned from that rain cap. Awesome as usual Matt!
Good evening. Beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again for adding closed captioning. It adds value in such a huge way.
Awesome! So glad to hear it’s helpful. Thanks!
Amazing wood grain, what a saw .great job
WOW Matthew! Lot of hard work! Never dreamed A saw could do that consistent of a cut! These slabs are epic even without the incredible patterns in the wood. Keep posting the videos!
This is so much fun to watch. Thanks, Matt :)
I never thought of a guitar body I would love that!! I looked into making my own guitar and their is to far advanced for me to build. Electrics not as hard I am talking about an Acoustic Guitar!!
Thanks for the video!!!
спасибо, Матвей, этого я ещё не видел. Прекрасная машина и работа профессиональная. God bless you.
Wow! You have some great table top material there.
Always great.
Thx Matt
Enjoyed watching you saw that trunk into slabs that will awe those who make use of them.
Matt answers the question, 'Why did you build such a big band-saw mill?'
Really like your work. Great insight.
I love how quite the mill is.
Some beautiful grain cool that the Birdfeeder made it
i bet your neighbors just love you
Can you cut slices like log rounds? They would make a beautiful tier tree table and the bigger piece wold be a gorgeous coffee table when sanded and polyurethanes.Oh ! What a beautiful piece❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😊👍
That bird feeder is hillarious!
Kinda resembles a sugar maple I have standing in my yard. It’s got dead sections, I think it’s got som rot. Wife doesn’t want it to go, but it’s big, overhangs a portion of my roof, my brand new roof and my brand new gutters with gutter guards. I’ve heard it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than ask permission! Love your videos!
At 26.08 cool shot the bird feeder swinging with the slab nice. Matt as we say as country folks you are a gooden buddy
thank you Matt
Great video, Matt, and what a beautiful of slabs.
Wow ! What a difference a new blade makes on cut speed .
WOW just WOW LOL I'm at a loss for words just the beauty of nature.
OMG such beautiful wood!,,
Matt, For some reason on this video I kept thinking back to when you got started and were looking for trees and buying slabs. Plus out in the woods getting (what you thought then) were big 3 foot wide trees and you and your friend cutting them up at his place in/near the woods. Wowsa, have your slabs come a long way!!!
I just had to come back and watch this for the second time!
That is a really beautiful log. I see some nice projects in your future. Stay safe.
You make coiling that bandsaw blade look easy!!
Amazing analysis and cutting.
Thanks for sharing that!
Wow ! that is so cool !
Great log!!!! Some amazing wood
Beautiful!
Those Vermeer mini skids are amazing pieces of equipment.
You must be blessed with great understanding and accepting neighbors. Mine get pissy when running the lawn mower before 8am. haha
You are the epitome of the saying, "Work smarter, not harder!"........
Oh, so that's my problem... I always thought it was "work harder, not smart...".
Explains a lot.
That is one cool hunk of maple. I'm off to pick up some 32" - 34" White Pine. Should be interesting. My mill is rated for 30" max. 😎
Because you made your own saw mill you were able to cut this huge Maple into large slabs. Hope you have a market for them.
Great job of assessing the finished product.
Slabs of gold..beautiful!!
Goofy, weird, ridiculous, insane, awesome, cool, incredible, and a big ha ha ha! Great job Matt!
So cool!
Nice flame on 13:xx what a log !
You have Done real well with that old Tree fella, there is a few grands worth of table tops there for sure.
Time I built a good saw mill..... Tom Scotland.
As many slabs as I have see you cut, these have to be at some of the most interesting, considering grain pattern variation, color and shape. I don't even mind the bark inclusions, in fact I rather like them. I can imagine a den or office in a upscaled residence with these slabs made into wall panels. We all have our dreams, don't we?
Thanks again for sharing what you do.
Amazed at the size of logs your able to slab. even more amazed your little fork skid could handle the size and weight.
First time here. Many great dinner tables in there.
I can’t believe I watched this whole thing. Good luck yo you!
Recently found the following very interesting can only imagine what some of these beautiful slabs might cost and the beautiful piece of furniture that they will make.
Kinda kool just seeing the bird feeder hanging around and doing the flip...lol
Fantastic!
Amazing!
That was very interesting to see👍 thanks
I forgot about your forklift thing, was looking forward to seeing you try to turn that monster with a cant hook. 🤣
I WaS THINKING THE SAME THING. AND IF WOULD CLEAR.
Great video and that log yielded some beautiful wood. Will be interesting to see what you build from them in a couple of years.
Boy, do I wish I was one of his neighbors. Nice quiet and peaceful times out on the deck.
Its electric
The first few piece's no's 1,2,3, and 4 when looking at them after splashing them with water gives a 3 dimensional effect of depth , a beautiful coffee table or breakfast nook table , which wake you up quickly in am after night out. Looking into the depth of the figure .
Really cool Matt!
It was like a CAT scan of a tree. Nice to see you wearing the t-shirt from AW, another favorite on YT. Stay safe
That ws an awesome video Matt. Lots of good footage. Great tree. :-)
Next metal project for the woodworker an overhead crane
Beautiful!!!!!!
Really cool
