Been thinking about why I enjoy these milling videos. Not only because the sound of wood being cut (makes me think about the scent of fresh cut wood as well). My dad built houses so lots of good memories. But also, the math involved intrigued me as well. Thanks.
You're very good at explaining what you are doing; not many You Tubers are. I am old and wear hearing aides and you deep voice is perfect for me! Thank you sir!
After having viewed many YT videos over the past few months, I just rewatched Rejects to Paychecks. Your camerawork, framing, and editing are first-rate. No surplus chatter or painfully irksome "jokes." Let's just say I've learned to appreciate a good video when I see one. Do keep the quality vids coming.
98 hours vs 7000 hrs: I see a hobbyist (yes, a pretty good one) vs. a production guy. When I watch you, I appreciate the efficiencies I have adopted over the years that are now subtle, yet highly effective. Perhaps a visit? I'm in Woodland, Wa, and am portable as well.
99.9 hours! 😬 I definitely don’t have all the tricks down but in the past, I have had some production work where efficiency paid off. We’ll see where I’m at in 6,900.1 hours😀
@@NorthwestSawyer Northwest Sawyer Love your attitude. You will go far. I re-manufactured my Kubota diesel last year, and am re-wiring the ENTIRE machine from control panel to engine. Will be back on line next weekend, pending MORE delays. Would love to cross-pollinate to share techniques. The invite is open.
A sawmill is just what I need for my bee hive factory needs in my country. I am highly optimistic that this will open new opportunities for me not only in beekeeping but also in my environment where there is lots of scrap wood
Many years ago I was a builder in Virginia. Used hundreds if not thousands of feet of Western Red Cedar. NEVER saw any as clear as those first four boards. Nice stuff.
I keep a 2" thick piece of material by the mill of 4",6",8",and10" for edging material. It not only gives you the thickness to hold with the clamp and also gives you a visual cue to make sure that you won't hit your backstops. Good videos, keep them coming!
Great video. I sure appreciate your insightful commentary. You don’t over talk and let the video say most of what is obvious. Glad to have you back after a long dry summer without your videos.
@@NorthwestSawyer Sorry to hear that but im here to say in my neck of the woods Smith and Wesson don't take to kind to thieves. It had to be somebody that knows your operation and what you were doing. Most likely sold that lumber.
Me too, Karl. My dad went with me to pick up my mill from the dealership and collapsed during my training. He was rushed to the hospital and we found out he had lung cancer. He died almost 6 months later. Even going through chemotherapy he wanted to be right there helping me. Thanks for your comment.
Very informative and interesting. Thanks. I think we could do with more of this equipment in Scotland. Forestry here is a $1.2 billion a year industry and Scotland is probably about the size of Oregon. A lot of the industry is controlled by landowners and the Forestry Service. We should have a lot more of guys like you here..
That has got to be the best milling video I've seen in quite a while. Most friends build their own, but none are so fully automated to make life easy. I'm Jealous :(
"Things I can't seem to throw away" at our house translates to "That might come in handy for something some day". Years later, still hasn't been used so we finally throw it away only to need it a week or so later. lolol
Great looking cedar boards coming from the 'junk' pile. I think it's safe to say that there is no 'junk' pile. It should be called 'the use for this stuff has yet to reveal itself' pile. Nice way to make some extra spending money.
Hi Kirk, sorry I should have explained myself better. The pencil I was talking about is made by Staedtler tradition HD pencils who use PEFC wood. That wood is Western Red Cedar. They use cedar because of its properties of the wood when dry does hold its grain structure significantly. Once I did buy some Western Red Cedar for a small project I did and it certainly had the same smell when I was working it. These pencils originate in Germany but I think they could be made under licence all over the world. I have heard there is a plantation in Australia 🇦🇺. Anyway the pencil is a very good pencil as it does not break the lead like those pencils made out of oak. BTW this is not a free advertisement for Staedtler pencils at all! Lol, but I save the shavings in the pencil sharpen m/c just for that smell. Lol.👍
Love your videos. We mostly watch on TV got on the computer so we could comment and tell you how much we enjoy watching. We started watching because we have a Thomas Bandsaw and wanted pointers and ideas. Your channel has been awesome.
Hey, I enjoy your videos and hope you'll keep them coming. I have a LT-40 and just wanted to mention, where you added a shim board for the clamping head to hold a narrow board, I've done that also. Then I realized I could swivel the top of the clamping head to accommodate even 1" thick boards, maybe even more narrow than that. Maybe that will help you also; but, the shim board does help stabilize a narrow board as the blade passes through it. Take care.
I'm just now getting to see your video, someone's channel I watch sent me over here. Great video, glad I stopped in. I'll go back and watch the past episodes. I have a reply to your last comment about making a "couple of hundred dollars in a few hours" . I don't know what you think about this idea but you left a few hundred dollars on the ground there. You are cutting cedar. It is used to cook fish and chicken on the grill and in the oven on planks. 1/4 " or thicker. You or a family member could check with restaurants and see if they are interestered , craft fairs, friends, fish markets, grocery stores. Just an idea. Thanks for your time in making your videos.
Thank you! May I ask who sent you so I can thank them? I ended up using the cut-offs on another project. I agree that there are uses for everything right down to the sawdust! I’ll have to look more into the demand for cedar plank cookware and what people require in a quality piece.
@@NorthwestSawyer I have been trying to think. Are you familiar with Bus Huxley "Building a house from Trees?" He is up in Maine. I've been watching a channel in Washington but I just can't think of it. I'll look through my subscriptions and let you know. The planks are nothing special. You can use them more than once or toss them. Come in different sizes. You soak them in water for 3 or 4 hours, put the salmon on it and put on the grill or in the oven then serve . Goes from grill to table. gives great flavor to fish or chicken, just can't be treated of course. I do remember the channel that told me to come here said you did amazing work and they were right.
@@NorthwestSawyer I agree. I found him a couple of weeks ago and he is amazing. I binged watched all his videos and he is great at cutting trees and sawing his lumber for his build. The weather he is working in is tough! I live in the very to of Texas, in the Panhandle and we are extremely dry and arid and flat, no trees. We have high winds, blizzards, snow, ice storms but nothing last more than 3 days. We will have 50s and 60s in the winter then below 0. Summers are always 3 digits, hot and windy. The snow he gets is crazy. What he has done by himself is amazing. I will continue to follow you. Love your work. That cedar tree you took town was over the top. What a beautiful tree, such a beautiful tree, such amazing wood. You do beautiful work. Thank you again for sharing.
Just stumbled across your channel from the Outdoors With The Morgans. I love the tips. I live just north of you in Kitsap County Washington. Been thinking about picking up a mill for supplying myself. But, after watching a few of your videos, it sounds like I could actually defray a bit of the capital outlay with a side hustle doing custom milling. You got me thinking now!
Just found your channel a few weeks back... must say really enjoy going through your videos... awesome content. Also congratulations on your 💯 video... wish you many more. Best.
Dang, I am checking back and cannot find my comment from yesterday.FIRST CONGRATS ON 100 VIDEOS!!!!! That is a lot of time and effort. And you sharing with us is super great.I think that fate has led me to your channel. I was watching one of my favorite channels, Gridlessness, and the daughter were making a door for their house. The dad commented that their saw mill was a Wood-Mizer. So I looked up Wood-Mizer and your video was he first one. Imagine my surprise when I discovered you were on your way to Wood-Mizer, not only in Wood Village, but that you lived locally. Where I long to be on 2-5 acres. OK so I will be leaving my home and have a HUGE California Redwood that my grandmother grew from a burr and I want to take it down and take it with me in the form of boards, planks, rounds, what every I can get. I want to buy 2-5 acres and build a big open hours and have a very long table, made from the redwood, and I would like to make tales for my two sons also. I am hoping that you can advice me, help me, guide me and maybe we can strike a deal. I also would like to see how the mill runs up close and how to care for the mill, as I will be buying one once I move. It wont be as big as yours.I do not know how to send a DM through TH-cam, so I was hoping that you could tell me how to contact you? thanks Michele
I wished I lived in your neck of states. You have some nice wood. Take care continued success. If you have a bunch of Maple sell to folks who do custom audio racks or record storage. Just my humble opinion.
Very nice to watch that beautiful wood being milled like this, what beautiful grain! Thanks for this one,...and like you said,.day work is slowing, so maybe that means more saw milling video??
Congrats on the 100th video......and that's some pretty nice looking cedar.......keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video my friend......stay safe and have a great week....... :)
Thank you. A factor to also consider is that in three weeks, the TH-cam video has made more than one and a half times the amount I made on the wood. I consider that part of the income from the lumber.
Northwest Sawyer lol if you watch my “milling poplar and a mystery Wood” video the last 20 sec shows me almost nutting myself and falling on my face haha. But that’s the only time I have shown my own stupidity
Thanks, Robin! The slab flattener is a pretty awesome tool for sure. Just my opinion, for almost $17k, it should be automatic. Definitely a time-saver though if you have a lot of work for it.
Hello im new on here but was going to see if you could help me out i own a lt35 and cut some but dont seem to make much money. When im cutting out of my wood its 1.00 bf for soft and 2.00 bf for hard wood i make ok with that but sawing for people that have there own wood i only charge .35 a bf and dont seen to add up to much. Was wondering if you thought i should charge more for certain things even tho its there wood. Like mantles or smaller cuts like 3/4 by 4in boards. If you dont mind me asking how many bf was the order on this video? And how much did you charge? Thanks for any help you can give. Great video by the way!!
Thank you, Stephen. I never charge by the bf. I always charge hourly. There are too many things that can slow you down when milling for someone when you’re a mobile operation.
Don't know how I missed this for so long but it turned up, nice job Jason I wonder about those 2 Maples that are behind the saw I think that's what they are which seem to have trouble standing up straight they are laying over is this due to sunlight lack.
excellent photography, no annoying music or long rants, beautiful equipment, hum looks like a Wood Mizer commercial: I am subscribing anyway. (where is the hot chick with tight pants?)
I really enjoy your videos. Your narration and videography are top notch. Made me wonder if it’s an innate skill or if you had some education in this sometime. Anyway, I hope the long span since your last one is not due to an injury, illness or family problem.
Thank you, Dennis. I really appreciate comments like this. I don’t have any formal training other than watching how others do it and picking the things I like about their different styles. My lack of videos is 100% the fact that work has been really busy. I did some filming this week and hope to have it posted this weekend. Thank you for the comment and stay tuned!
Good to see you back in production! When you are asked to supply a pile of boards (say) 6' long, you don't show that you produce a neat end cut using perhaps a chop saw. Do you just leave the boards a few inches long with a rough (chainsawed) end?
It’s great to see you back on the Mill. Can you demo the new Woodmizer 747 blade, I know Nathan has made a video just wanted your thoughts, he’s cutting in East Tennessee, and your in the Pacific Northwest
If that comes out of the trash, and I know time is money but damn, I thought timber was scarce. If I were a young man again, I would pay to haul your trash!
i just bought a lt35 hyd. it was an upgrade from my Harbor freight. You showed your lap siding jig do you have a drawing or sketch i could get ? I would like to build one for the the WM. I do enjoy your vids. Keep them coming i appreciate the set up vid I bought lt35 used. Much appreciated
Thank you! I’m glad the videos help. I never did make any drawings of my jig. I did make a “closer look” video on it. There wasn’t any science to my design. If you have the skills to fabricate things from steel I’m guessing you could put one together pretty easily.
Been thinking about why I enjoy these milling videos. Not only because the sound of wood being cut (makes me think about the scent of fresh cut wood as well). My dad built houses so lots of good memories. But also, the math involved intrigued me as well.

Thank you, David! I thought about building one before I ended up buying my first mill. It’s hard to beat a fully hydraulic mill.
"Things I can't seem to throw away" at our house translates to "That might come in handy for something some day". Years later, still hasn't been used so we finally throw it away only to need it a week or so later. lolol
That literally happened to me Tuesday!
Love to watch equipment in operation.I'd rather be running it but relaxing to watch someone else.
Stay tuned! I have a lot coming up this weekend!

You need to add the smell to the video love the smell of logs being milled
Did a good job 👍
Thanks, Kirk! Especially he smell of cedar!
Especially cedar. 🤗
The closest I get to smell Western Red Cedar is when I sharpen pencils. Very nice smell the shavings have. 🤪

AWSOM VIDIO I SUBSCRIBED KEEP EM COMING!!! GOTTA SHOW MY BROTHER HE HATED WHEN WE HAD TO CUT WOOD LOL.
Would love to saw some of those logs. No western red around here. I did resaw some beams once?
Then you’d have to change your name to Iron and oak and western red cedar. Just doesn’t flow well😬
@@NorthwestSawyer bery true my friend.😀
Nice saw.
Great video
Thanks, Ross!
New friend here. My hubby grew up as a logger we are always working with less than desirable lumber for quicky jobs.
Considering the cost of the absolutely beautiful equipment you are using, $200 would be a bare minimum expectation of dollars earned.
Thank you. A factor to also consider is that in three weeks, the TH-cam video has made more than one and a half times the amount I made on the wood. I consider that part of the income from the lumber.

Not stupidly, humanity.
SLO-MO. Nice touch!😬
Northwest Sawyer that’s a very good way to look at it
A couple of lengths of PVC pipe, large enough in diameter to fit over the forks, would solve the staining issue.
I was thinking some old truck tire intertubes.
What did you think of the slab flattener at the woodmizer show ? Red Cedar looks great , none here in Nova Scotia .
Thanks, Robin! The slab flattener is a pretty awesome tool for sure. Just my opinion, for almost $17k, it should be automatic. Definitely a time-saver though if you have a lot of work for it.
Impressive looking grain when you hosed it off. Maybe you could make another string bass for me . . . ?
Probably not out of cedar. Alder would be better but I don’t know what species of wood makes the best string instruments.
Love this guy!
Thank-you and best!
That isn't "scrap wood"...that's canoe buildin' wood!

Was wondering if you thought i should charge more for certain things even tho its there wood. Like mantles or smaller cuts like 3/4 by 4in boards. If you dont mind me asking how many bf was the order on this video? And how much did you charge? Thanks for any help you can give. Great video by the way!!
Thank you, Stephen. I never charge by the bf. I always charge hourly. There are too many things that can slow you down when milling for someone when you’re a mobile operation.
That is indeed some nice stuff.
Don't know how I missed this for so long but it turned up, nice job Jason I wonder about those 2 Maples that are behind the saw I think that's what they are which seem to have trouble standing up straight they are laying over is this due to sunlight lack.
Thanks, barry! I dug those maples up when I started my new driveway project. I just haven’t replanted them.
excellent photography, no annoying music or long rants, beautiful equipment, hum looks like a Wood Mizer commercial: I am subscribing anyway. (where is the hot chick with tight pants?)
As long no income tax for the weekend I work with the saw mill, its good income..(smile)
I really enjoy your videos. Your narration and videography are top notch. Made me wonder if it’s an innate skill or if you had some education in this sometime. Anyway, I hope the long span since your last one is not due to an injury, illness or family problem.
Thank you, Dennis. I really appreciate comments like this. I don’t have any formal training other than watching how others do it and picking the things I like about their different styles. My lack of videos is 100% the fact that work has been really busy. I did some filming this week and hope to have it posted this weekend. Thank you for the comment and stay tuned!
Great video. Have you ever used a green line laser module as an alignment tool ?
Good to see you back in production! When you are asked to supply a pile of boards (say) 6' long, you don't show that you produce a neat end cut using perhaps a chop saw. Do you just leave the boards a few inches long with a rough (chainsawed) end?
I typically leave the board at least 6” long with the chainsaw ends.
It’s great to see you back on the Mill.
Can you demo the new Woodmizer 747 blade, I know Nathan has made a video just wanted your thoughts, he’s cutting in East Tennessee, and your in the Pacific Northwest
I need to get my hands on some.
Love the magic trick at 14:53. LOLOLOL

I notice that you have the debarker on your saw. Do you feel that it is worth adding it on?
I do. It’s very effective
If you do not mind my asking could you let me know what this particular mill cost you. I like this one much better than some of the others I have seen
I paid just under $21k. It paid for itself in just over 6 months.
How much will a sawmill like this cost now
Around $21,000 US.
Using your mill bed as a sawbuck seems awkward and risky for dings.
Why not buck your log while it’s still on the forks?
Yes, work will always find a sawmill
Awesome video how did you learn what to price your lumber at?
Thank you, Justin. I typically look up what it would cost to buy and reduce the price by 1/3 or so.
My sympathies Mr. Sawyer, occasionally I find that my mouf is not quite in synch with my drain, I mean brain.
Keeps you busy , plus you make a little on the side ...
Win win!!
If that comes out of the trash, and I know time is money but damn, I thought timber was scarce. If I were a young man again, I would pay to haul your trash!
i just bought a lt35 hyd. it was an upgrade from my Harbor freight. You showed your lap siding jig do you have a drawing or sketch i could get ? I would like to build one for the the WM. I do enjoy your vids. Keep them coming i appreciate the set up vid I bought lt35 used. Much appreciated
Thank you! I’m glad the videos help. I never did make any drawings of my jig. I did make a “closer look” video on it. There wasn’t any science to my design. If you have the skills to fabricate things from steel I’m guessing you could put one together pretty easily.
I would love to have a mill like that....that's my retirement job right there!!
wait...nevermind...I seen how much they cost....lolol
I paid for mine in about 6 months in my spare time. If you’re doing it full time it’s an easy living.
@@NorthwestSawyer where would you look to buy one of these??? and what are the exact price ranges?
There are dealerships all over the world. You can also find them online used. Woodmizer.com. For one like mine new is around $22k I believe.
@@NorthwestSawyer thanks man, I gotta have one....lol
I don't see how any of this could be considered as "junk" lumber.
John DeBrular , nor do I. I would love to have it in my backyard in Australia to make a change from our wood.
