I'm not sure why I like your videos. Perhaps it is your relaxed style without a lot of yammering and the therapeutic watching someone else do all the work. Seeing Oregon in it's hillside glory is good too. I was a hillside gouger near Toledo for years.
Awesome set-up you have now, some rocks on the ground, and maybe a shelter one day just in case it might rain some this winter. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💙💜💚💗. Great video, need to build you boy a race track, haha. Take care!
I love to work with wood I had a friend make a wood wagon for my Great Grand-Duaghter and i am sanding it, sealing it and painting it her favorite color, Orange of all colors. thanks for letting watch.
When you set the saw head to automatically travel down the track, or return back to the start position, will it saw head automatically stop when it reaches the end of the track?
I love watching videos like this.....awesome......thanx for taking the time and doing all the work for us....so we can watch em......take care and stay safe my friend....... :)
Hi! I love your videos! I am thinking about buying an LT35 Hydraulic. I own a lot of BIG pines. Was gonna have them cut but the local sawmill didn’t want to give me what they’re worth, so, I’m thinking about buying a mill and milling them into lumber myself. Thank you for your videos!
Really good work with the saw. Log positing and thinking ahead on what and how to saw. I think I would have a wider work area on both sides for tractor work. Good job.
I have an lt35hd that came from the factory with the debarker. It is my opinion that the motor on the debarker is way under powered and the mechanism that holds it against the log is not well designed. Mine always was either not engaged, or got stuck on a tiny bump on the log, or the motor stopped turning the blade, or the circuit breaker popped. I took mine off after 70 hours, because I felt that it did not work well enough to add value to the process. Worst $1000 I spent at Woodmizer. Everything else works great on the saw. I hope you have better luck with your debarker! Love the channel.
Thank you, Jason. The wheel on the debarker is driven by a belt. It sounds like maybe you’re was out of adjustment? I use mine all the time and it’s saved several blades for rock damage. I do pop the breaker from time to time but it’s typically operator error when I do.
Truth be told, that was a teriyaki sauce container I salvaged from a company picnic. But I learned about it from Wood-Mizer at one of their open houses😬
Those were 1x12s and 1x3s. They were the customers request. They seem to be working great for him. That’s really to only board and batten siding I’ve made.
I have a bad feeling about the rear tires of your tractor on the very edge of your loading area when you back up. For safety sake you need to address this and move your mill landing pad over five feet or so.Hate to see you get hurt brother.Love your videos.
@@NorthwestSawyer Awesome man..Did you see my question about what your opinion is about swingblade versus this style saw setup? I am going to buy a mill when we move over around burns in a year and I plan on milling all the lumber from pine and some blue pine for interior walls or ceilings.Thanks.
I answered an almost identical question recently but it must’ve been someone else. I don’t have any experience with a swing blade but from what I’ve seen, you’re limited to making dimensional lumber only. It sounds like that’s what you’ll be looking for but you also lose quite a bit due to the blade kerf. I really like the ease of setting up the log on my bandsaw mill. There’s very little loss due to the thin blade and more versatility in the lumber you can create.
@@NorthwestSawyer I think you are right I am leaning towards the same mill you run..I should be able to pick this stuff up pretty easy I ran a big metal bandsaw and various other metal fab jobs for a living for 15 years.Learning curve will be how to get the most out of each log I expect.Thank you.
Was that marvel mystery oil you were putting on the chain or mercron dextron? What size bar was that on your chainsaw 25? Great video, thanks for sharing, God bless
Thank you. As far as I know, there used Ronnie an old double-wide next to that old shop building. Then a new house was built lower on the property in 2005. The People I bought from had owned it for 35 years.
Why not use the forks to pick the log up and put it on the mill? I do it with my little John Deere 1025R all day long and it keeps the dirt out of the log.
@@NorthwestSawyer They know how to charge for essential items , don't they? If it were my decision/choice I'd do a makeshift repair ( as long as the ROPS is not compromised ) and leave it like that.
@@NorthwestSawyer I was thinking that ballasted tires would be a help especially for hauling and lifting those larger logs. I have the rear tires on my tractor ballasted and it does help when I have to lift things. Just a thought! Cheers!
@@NorthwestSawyer It's just what I would do,....something to keep rain and sun off. That's what they used to have back in the day,.at least for equipment being operated in southern area's, didn't they? Go for it!
Me either glad ya didn’t get hurt when ya rolled ! I do tons of brush hogging for people and have done some crazy steep hills with 10’ weeds I put beet juice ballast in mine helps a lot almost always fill the bucket with dirt and keep it low to help on the steep stuff !
Why mess around with the log tongs instead of just grabbing the logs with your pallet fork? Seems to me it would have been easier and faster? Probably could have grabbed two at a time
@@NorthwestSawyer Was commenting in realtime there, so realized what it was at the end of video. Still though, head scratching to see a random split second of that find its way into the middle of a sped up sequence. Heh, is that tree house going to be for kids, adults, or both? XD Dang that was scary seeing you back towards the edge of that dropoff with the tractor. Hope you plan to address that in future updates! D:
@@NorthwestSawyer no new projects? Are you going to build a building to house the wood miser? Do you have wood cut for that? I like to watching tree felling. Are you busy at work now? I like to watch your excavating videos also. If you need a break, I understand.
A little bit of all of that. Work is busy but I think I have some stuff coming up that would make good video. I don’t have any milling on the books. My fear is putting out videos that look like I’m just scraping the barrel. I only want to put out good content that folks like yourself will enjoy.
@@NorthwestSawyer just cutting some logs for future projects interests me. What's going on at work, I loved the stump removal videos? I'm sure all your subs would enjoy just about any thing when we've not had something in a while. Thanks for your videos.
Well thank you, Michael. It’s nice to hear that you’re interested in my videos. I shot one today that’s waiting for the sun to go down so I can get some finishing footage. It should be up in the morning.
@@NorthwestSawyer Yeah, I get that, but it's the length of ads that I was wondering if you saw. I don't mind Trunk Monkey ads, and most of them I let run, but longer ads I skip over.
The only thing I really have control over is the number of ads. You’ve probably noticed videos that have multiple ads throughout the video. I find that to be annoying and don’t do that in my videos.
That was kind of silly, why didn't he just use the forks to pick up the logs from the side of the trailer? Instead of pulling them off the back with a chain and making double the work? I realize he's using the machine but still
Good to see you keeping that saw mill busy and yourself, nothing like a bit of evening work to keep you out of trouble Jason.
Trouble is my middle name!😀
Good video Jason. Nice to see a man doing something that he enjoys. Pretty good looking lumber
Thank you, Tom!

It sounds like you have my whole season of videos planned out, Gaston😬😬
Just thinking out loud, haha. 👍👍👍
Looks like you did right on the driveway! 👍👍
Good shot of the debarker in action @ 16:06. Cool video, Jason!
Thank you! I’m running out of new and interesting camera angles.
I love the different video angles on the debarker.
Thank you, Lane!

Thank you cutting board for my treehouse ps Blake
Great Content
Looks like you have a plan that’s going to work out well. Great to see your planing is paying dividends.
“I love it when a plan comes together”. Hannibal Smith, The A-Team😬
Looks like your dozer work sure paid off! Great job!
Thank you! Now I just need a few loads of rock to finish it off.
I was glad to see you make smaller lumber pieces from those first two cutoffs - at least that's what I thought happened.
I made what I could. The logs weren’t as straight as they first looked and after cutting out the taper, there wasn’t much left.
Northwest Sawyer level the center of the smack end with the center of the large end on two sides for your datum. Greater yield
Stephen that works for even-tapered logs but these had bends and eccentric taper.
Nice lumber and really going to make a nice treehouse.
I’m
Going to mill some more for that project soon.
When you set the saw head to automatically travel down the track, or return back to the start position, will it saw head automatically stop when it reaches the end of the track?
I love watching videos like this.....awesome......thanx for taking the time and doing all the work for us....so we can watch em......take care and stay safe my friend....... :)

Another great video .
That was scary, lying on that log while you sawed me in half! 😆
You’re fiiiiiiiiiine😬
Really good work with the saw. Log positing and thinking ahead on what and how to saw. I think I would have a wider work area on both sides for tractor work. Good job.
I would have a wider area too if I had ten square feet of flat ground on my property 😬
Another great video
new driveway is looking good
Thanks, Doug! It’s working pretty well too!

Looking good. That first log made the mill grunt a little sounded like. Is that the same carbide blade that you put on a while ago?
It is. Still going strong.
Never thought of using ketchup to lube my mill.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Truth be told, that was a teriyaki sauce container I salvaged from a company picnic. But I learned about it from Wood-Mizer at one of their open houses😬
Northwest Sawyer I use a spray bottle...but I can see the value in the ketchup bottle.
That's exactly what I was going to say!
Can you talk about the dimensions you chose? And any experience with different widths and thicknesses ?
Cheers
Those were 1x12s and 1x3s. They were the customers request. They seem to be working great for him. That’s really to only board and batten siding I’ve made.

Great video man! How thick did you cut the boards?
Thanks, Mike! He wanted them 3/4” thick.
Was that marvel mystery oil you were putting on the chain or mercron dextron? What size bar was that on your chainsaw 25? Great video, thanks for sharing, God bless
That’s ATF. It’s what Wood-Mizer recommends. The bar is a 32” I believe.
You seem to have an interesting place. What, if you don't mind, is the history?
Thank you. As far as I know, there used Ronnie an old double-wide next to that old shop building. Then a new house was built lower on the property in 2005. The People I bought from had owned it for 35 years.
great vid gotta love those hydrolics!
Thank you, MIKE. Worth every penny!
Beautiful fir..
DO you have any walnut slabs for sale? Hillsboro, OR
Shoot me an email, 5tonfabrication@gmail.com
Jason, how do you get the mill to travel back to the operator end like that? 🤔👍🌲🌲👷♂️💪
I had it set up with the tongue a little lower than the tail.
@@NorthwestSawyer Nice, using gravity to give ya a helpin' hand!
Why not use the forks to pick the log up and put it on the mill? I do it with my little John Deere 1025R all day long and it keeps the dirt out of the log.
The ground is too uneven there.
I thought we were in for Tractorgate 2 for a moment there Jason is there much of a drop off behind the work area?
I'll admit I was clenched up too there for a moment or two!
It’s very steep down to my driveway. I’ll do a driveway update soon.
I have to ask , Jason, are you planning on repairing that ROPS roof?
Maybe you told us before, but are those tractor tires ballasted?
They are not currently ballasted. As for the roof, I’d like to but it’s $500 for that price of plastic. We’ll see what happens this winter.
@@NorthwestSawyer They know how to charge for essential items , don't they? If it were my decision/choice I'd do a makeshift repair ( as long as the ROPS is not compromised ) and leave it like that.

I was thinking about making a metal frame and then having a canvas cover made. Still probably cheaper.
@@NorthwestSawyer It's just what I would do,....something to keep rain and sun off.
That's what they used to have back in the day,.at least for equipment being operated in southern area's, didn't they?
Go for it!
Is there a reason you why you couldn't have lifted the logs of the trailer with the forks ?
He said the logs are too heavy for the tractor to lift
What size is your tractor looks so cool wish I could,milk lumber one of these days :)
It’s a 4044r. 44 hp.
Nice I have a 3320 and love it ! I do all kinds of stuff with it . A lot of brush hogging and Discing , tilling the list goes on
I couldn’t get by without it.
Me either glad ya didn’t get hurt when ya rolled ! I do tons of brush hogging for people and have done some crazy steep hills with 10’ weeds I put beet juice ballast in mine helps a lot almost always fill the bucket with dirt and keep it low to help on the steep stuff !
