I never in a million years would I have thought that a man cutting up wood could be so relaxing, interesting and entertaining to watch. Excellent video as always. Thank you.
It always cracks me up when people comment on the $10k for the mill, $30k for the tractor. How much stuff do you own that you'll never get a return on?? Hobby or not! Them two pieces of equipment will give you a return on your investment. Even if that set up is a hobby, it'll just take him longer. Congrats on the beautiful equipment you have there!!! Great set up!!!
Darien..one thing to keep in mind is resale value on those items. At this point he could probably sell those items and MAKE money. So they end up being great investments. Not always the case and as time goes by that could change but they will always hold value.
Timely video for me. I cut up about 35 2x4x10 today! Tree company delivered some monster pines. Most are right at 28 inches across. Gonna stay busy for a while. Always a pleasure to watch.
Excellent work, Wes! Still learning a lot about sawmilling, and I find your videos so helpful. Especially when you take time to show how you have to be mindful of what is in the way of that blade! Really appreciate that! 👏👏👏
I’ve almost hit and hit the clamps a million times on my Woodmizer. No fun! Glad you caught it. Thank you for the videos, they have been a huge inspiration for my work.

Woodmizer has taken all the fun out of sawing , what happened to the days when every good Sawyer would just run the saw into the dogs lol. Great feature woodmizer
Looking good. Ha! When I started sawing on Woodmizers in the early 90s, the LT40 I ran had a manual flip up and style clamp. It’d run in and out hydraulically but not up/down. I’d say I sawed into that thing five or six times. Upgraded to a later model that had the four way hydraulic clamp and I thought I was driving a Cadillac. Good stuff. Be safe out there.
That auto-feeder is quite handy especially with the sensor at the front that stops the blade from hitting the clamps or anything else on the bed. :-) When you're cutting the slabs does it not make sense to count backwards from the bed up so you get even boards out of it instead of a odd one as the second last board you're cutting? If you know what the blade subtracts then compensating for that combined with the number of cuts should give you even boards and if there is a odd one out it will be on the top which may be scabbed anyway?
Good video i enjoyed it so much you dont make a lot but the ones you make they are good you take a lot of pride in your work. I like that. Thanks fo r bringing me along. God bless
I thought you got a new saw for a minute, it was the way the sun was on it. Turned the orange to yellow. 😂 Yeah nice yield out of that log for sure. 👍😎
Very nice video with super high def! Looked like 4K on some of those shots! Nice job! I see in one video you have saved your blade twice with that blade guard!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. First time using the new GoPro. Yep, the blade guard definitely helped me out on this one. Always appreciate you watching.
I love this video. In the process of Building a home on my wooded 20 acres. Instead on clearing the lot and buy lumber, why not use the trees and use my own free lumber.
2x4s are actually 1-1/2 by 3-1/2 nowadays. might end up with more studs that way and not sacrificing strength unless you want the actual sizes of 2x4 inches.
Do you have any issues with "sap" when milling a fresh cut green pine log? Also, when you grab a handfull of sawdust at the exhaust, what exactly are you looking for?
Are you afraid he gets a splinter/silver? I dont get the safety Karen's on these videos. Let people make their own decisions, sometimes gloves are great other times the can cause harm. A guy at my old shop got his hand put thru a steel roller at a 1/4 opening because he was wearing gloves. He will never use his left hand again.
Nice set up! I'm in the process of starting my first project that will need this kind of equipment. Any idea what the name of that tool he's using to turn the log over while it's on the sawmill? Thanks!
Let’s see you need land, equipment to cut down trees, backhoe to bring it to I’ll and a mill to make about 40 $5 2x4 then you have store equipment somewhere? Yeah I’ll continue to go to store and buy them.
I could see a black market pop up up with people taking their wood maizer and lucas mills out to the national forest and milling their boards with their firewood permit
Great to see you working safely. Hard hat, ear protection and a mask for sawdust and pollen. The only improvement you could make is to wear a good pair of leather gloves. Thanks for the post.
I was going to ask if you thought that log gave you a good yield, but you went and answered my question in the narration at the end. I've got no cracks to make to laugh this time , just well done. Next time may be different.
So all you need is about 200 k for an initial investment between land and equipment and you too can save tons of money milling your own lumber. Of course now the companies that make portable saw mills will raise their prices because..... they can .
I thought you were gonna get those dogs a couple of times. One thing I don't understand is why don't you place the logs on the mill with the small end at the front. It seems you lose both lumber and time when you don't do that. I really enjoy watching your videos. How's that little farmhand doing? Stay safe and keep those videos coming. God Bless.
I don't normally worry about the direction of the log. However the tractor picks it up, that's how I put it on the mill. I've started just measuring the small end if it's away from the head. That allows me to make the first cut accurate. I probably do lose some amount of lumber doing it that way. However, I don't have toeboards, so it's almost inevitable.
How well does a woodmizer or any lumber milling machine cut through Ohio maple? I got them dropping by the hundreds over here in excellent shape to be used
Just watch a high production lumber video. Only thing I could think is how much all that automation cost. And how many people that would employ. These are much more interesting.
Excuse my ignorance but could these be used directly in the construction of a house? Is the lumber used in construction usually dried? I have a lot of pines on my lot that I need top cut down. I was thinking of the price of lumber maybe I do some of this? What is the cost of your saw?
No you could not use this in home construction. To pass code it must be inspected and stamped. You however can use it in barns and shelters and that's where most goes. Now you could use inside your home once house is framed with stamped wood.

Thanks, Jim! Same to you.
Pretty weather . Cool temps in Ga is much better to me than 98 degrees when doing intensive labor.
Nice pine you got there. 👍🇺🇸
Amen, I prefer to saw in winter.
I'll bet you could adjust that rig to make just about any dimension limber you need. That thing is really nice

Do you have any issues with "sap" when milling a fresh cut green pine log? Also, when you grab a handfull of sawdust at the exhaust, what exactly are you looking for?
if im thinking correctly, by grabbing the sawdust he is checking how fine it is. Which would let him know how sharp or how dull his blade is.
sweet cuts my dude. how much did that set up run ya if ya dont mind me asking
I love the smell of freshly cut lumber, how much is the little sawmill?
How much shrinkage do you account for in the green wood? 1/4 inch? or more?
And just like that.... you have building wood!! Cool!
After it drys
This is very satisfying to watch 💪
Spend that extra money and get a log Turner with your sawmill. And also get hydraulics controls that you do not have to walk every step
How long does it take from when you fell the pine tree till you saw it?
For a long time I've wondered home many 2x4s you could get from one tree
"Homemade" has a very new dimension. And please go get a pair of gloves.
Are you afraid he gets a splinter/silver? I dont get the safety Karen's on these videos. Let people make their own decisions, sometimes gloves are great other times the can cause harm.

I own a pine thicket in tn, and always wanted to build a cabin on it, do these have to dry for a long period of time, or can you use them right away?
6 months to 2 years depending on the method. Fresh “green” wood will dry in place but will warp and crack, so you should dry lumber before using.
@@mrwess1927 I have an insulated garage with a dehumidifier..would that cut the time down some?

In U.S. that mill is around 10k depending if you get auto feed, electric start etc.

Most construction lumber is green. Stacked in a dry place, probably 3 months depending on the weather.
