Now to build a shed for the mill, to keep the elements off of it. And a shed for drying the lumber. Projects seem to beget more projects, but it’s all enjoyable building stuff for yourself!
The sky is the limit with your new toy!! And i KNOW you are so excited!! A pleasant surprise for me but i should have known you would get one! It's almost a very necessary tool there!!
As a retired Alaska logger I think this video is one of my favorites. I never worked in a sawmill really, only in the woods as a riggingman and a couple years as a timberfaller. The most dangerous jobs in the United states by far. The second most, construction, is a about half as dangerous. I started as a teenager and transferred to a short line logging railroad at 42, as you get to where you just can't do it anymore. A young man's game for sure. So this comment is about safety. It's not really about priority, it's about ATTITUDE. I was big on it as during my logging career I witnessed many injuries. From daily first blood, (owies) to horrific ones. That made the rest of the crew first responders. And professional help was hours away by medevac. I made sure I always had an updated first aid, CPR card. They expire after 3 or 4 years but that wasn't enough. So I took it seriously and took the class every chance I got. Once or twice a year. Some classes are way better than others. I always encouraged my crew to do the same. Heck, I encourage everyone to. Situational awareness is vital. So if l may, suggest you make a mention of your 1st aid kits, contents and why you chose them. My personal kits are what I put together myself based on my experiences and the situation. Lots of gauze, medical tape, Kwick Clot, etc, even a cotex in my tin hat when I was a logger (I think you can figure out why) Thanks for reading this and, stay safe!
I have a tip for You, Screw the leveling pads to your 6+6, The rails will need to be check ever so often and keep all your blades, when they get dull, in time you will want to sharpen them. (put then in used oil) You will have lots of fun and it will be hard work, but enjoyable work. I have had a mill for 14 years. I will say no more, Been keeping a eye on you two for years.
@@robertmeloyanaxley1530 satan lost his right eye. This is connected if grey berg is a servant of satan here to lead astray. Amen. Praise Jesus, God bless amen.❗❗🔥💢
Well, one thing to be thankful for is that VERY few who get stuck on the freeway to a standstill have that kind of stunning scenery to keep them company! : - D
First 30 seconds and the look Beau gives you, like you are being left behind, melts my heart. Dogs are so loyal…two feline home here, but forever love dogs and many other creatures. You guys are awesome, great teamwork! I’m very excited for you both, congratulations.
Nothing brings me more joy then getting a notification that you guys posted a new video!! I wish you would every day!! 😂 haha. Cant wait to see all the new projects!!
Congratulations, that’s awesome. That’s the same model I have and my only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner. I haven’t figured out how to install the auto lube kit yet either but I haven’t missed it.
Living in a warmer Alaskan climate than them, we still want the kitchen heat in the house most of the year. We’re coastal though, and don’t get the heat they do
OMG - You two give me a smile that lasts the entire video. Watching the 'kids' - I'm old so these two are kids - excited and enthusiasm at times is a Christmas Morning joy to behold. Smart move on the mill and I'm sure you'll make great use of it. Way cool, stay safe.
Days without your videos, at last you’re here!!! I have learned to look forward for you two gays, dear children on TH-cam. I told you, I’m a sentimental senior who lives far, far away from you but your videos have reach deep into my heart. Your adventures are incredible and awesome, you are just great!!! And now what are you up to? I’ll keep watching for more. Ah, yea! Eric you are just great and sooooo lucky to have Arielle by your side. Love you both👍👍❤️❤️ see you soon. GREAT WORK. LEARNING IS PART OF SUCCESS 💫⭐️🌞
With all the machinery, heavy equipment, electronics, etc you incorporate in your life your channel should be called sophisticated living Alaska. Nothing simple about it when it comes to skills. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
honestly I started watching this channel because I'm interested in homestead but they have become my role models in how couples should be. They are so supportive of each other and seem so in love all the time. I'm sure there are conflicts we don't see off camera but man, I hope my future wife and I can get along this well!
Two of the Best TH-cam channels. All of you are just amazing Humans. Thank you both Eric and Arielle and Shawn James for sharing your life with the world.
Make some money off the sawmill so you have funds for those things you can't build. What's the endgoal for the cabin? Since it is rough land, have you thought about building a walkway bridge over the boggy part for wildlife viewing, strolls? You guys are awesome, so interesting watching your videos everytime.
I have a feeling this will pay for itself 10 fold with the cost of lumber right now. What a great investment. Plus being able to use your own beetle kill wood is excellent for the environment.
Why not? There are so many useable dead trees available. Getting a mill makes total sense. You two have made such good practical decisions with your generator, your 6x6, your snowmobiles, your boat, your high tunnel green house, and so on. The days are so short in the wanter you have more time to think, talk, research and plan. You have such long days in the summer, you can just get it done. It is a nice natural rhythm. Getting stuff done makes the fishing and hunting trips more satisfying. The fishing trips make getting things done more satisfying. Thanks for sharing your thought processes with us. It is really helpful.... Also, you can save money and use the sawdust in the chicken coop and then compost it and put it in the garden. Win. Win. Win. The bark can be laid down in walk ways. Anything else can be burned to keep the house warm. There are no negatives.
I think the coolest thing about you two is the way your both all in together. Not very many people will actually go all in like you do, a couple that does is pretty rare.
OMGoodness, all those boxes to open and all those pieces to put together. You two make a great team and I so enjoy your videos. Just please be safe with that sawmill.
Nothing beats being in on every bit of new development, every new excitement. Well, nothing except being there and lending a hand. But I'll have to cross the Pacific for that 😁. Can't wait to see ALL the projects made possible by having that sawmill. Keep safe, both of you.
So exciting to see this, can't wait to see some more action with the sawmill and watch you put up new buildings! Also, I think these's going to be a lot of bark and sawdust from all this milling, and that can be a great resource in the garden to pave the paths with so you don't get all muddy when it's a bit wet outside.
My brother in law bought a sawmill to cut the lumber to build their house. Now he is so busy cutting lumber to fill orders that he has to work on the house at night. Next thing you need to get is a pevey to roll the big logs that are too heavy to pick up. Great video brother
So excited to wake up to the notification this morning in the UK. LOVE IT! That booklet gave me the chills, you guys did so well. You work so hard and are literally winning! Already looking forward to the next one! ❤💯👌
Great new toy, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it. As you cut different sized logs, be sure to continue to check the level. I've seen a few folks who have saws like yours that didn't recheck the levels and later found they didn't have as many straight cuts as they thought.
It's fun to watch you guys progress. I moved to Oregon in 1987, and 'almost' moved to Alaska. I'm watching you guys, dreaming of the fork in life I 'should' have taken.
Good to see Bo on a jaunt to the big city! Jee whiz y'all, gardeners, hunters, lumberjacks! I salute you 🥰 ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Seeing you guys make it feels so heartwarming! Each day your homestead grows and gets better and it's only thanks to your hardwork and love for knowledge. Very inspiring!!
A sawmill, Omgosh!!! My first thought was a huge log splitter, but this is so much better. Awesome 👍. Can't hardly wait to see all the things you build.
That sawmill will indeed pay for itself in no time! And I'm glad you mentioned the chain saw mill, because I was sure the woodshed was made from lumber you milled yourself! I was getting deja vu! LOL I think a forklift is next on the menu! Can't wait to see the projects! :)
I really admire you guys for taking a manual and putting that mill to work for you. There doesn't seem to be anything you all can't do. I really look forward to seeing all the projects you have planned and hope all goes well for you. Take care and stay safe!
So happy for you guys. I hope it gives you years of trouble free service. Maybe keep a list of the dimensional lumber you cut to tally up what it would have cost you at your big box store to see how long the payback period is? :) Cheers from Nova Scotia
Watching you guys laugh and be patient with each other during a long build together is such a beautiful experience. You’re lucky to have found each other. Wonderful role models. Stay safe and God bless.
So happy for you too. The joy and excitement was so evident on your faces. Eric you are so blessed to have Areial there with you. What I am about to say will cause you to get her a bigger hat cause her head will swell. She is the perfect woman. Pretty, smart, strong, obviously loving and just plain huggable. Enjoy your new mill and be safe. Till next time, bye.
It was awesome to watch you both put your saw together. If it was my wife and I most likely it would have taken month. Your problem solving is wonderful and be able to reason out your mistakes early. Your attention to detail is a gift. Congratulation on your new saw and look forward to see your end results. Cheers
Sharing your life experiences, your challenges, and your successes, brings joy to many people. Myself included. I wish you all the best and plan to keep watching :)
At least all the parts were there. Amazing Now you have your own sawmill. So Proud of you both. Ariel and Eric your Property looks Amazing, and you both look so Healthy and Happy. Can't wait till your Winter. Hug's And kindest thoughts from Victoria Australia.
You two are amazing … I had every confidence you would get that new saw mill up and going quickly … well done ! So happy that you were able to purchase this a valuable, much needed piece of equipment … I know it will get well used on future projects … have a great week … 🙏☘️😘
I love watching you guys , I want to help because I love working, so I get inspired and go build something . Working on my chicken coup , trying to keep their Cub Med cool. So happy you did it in one day, Best Day Ever !!. Thank so much for sharing how to do it. You two are the light in the darkness Susan
This video was perfect timing, my husband and I were just discussing the chainsaw sawmill vs a mill like this and which one we could get away with. I think this made my decision pretty clear with how much time can be saved. Thank you!
I see a huge shop in your future and an overhead trolley and lift system- cover so you can handle the super big logs, eventually adding another section of length to the saw mill for super big and long beams!!! thumbs up all the way you two!!! Can't wait for what's next... Your own Sea Plane?! That would be super cool.
I put some type of protective coating like a clear vinyl code or something like a sheet of it I'm not exactly sure what word to use right now but I put that over my chart so that the weather does not wear away the measurements
I’m so excited for you. I think I was smiling during the whole video. What a fantastic n new “toy”. Thank you for sharing you life . What an adventure.
Friend of mine had one and used to build his homestead, congratulations! He made a 3 sided shed with one side open to let logs in. A canvas ex military drop cloth closed the exposed side for the winter. Just an idea that worked for someone else. Have fun!
This video was in my top five favorites of your channel. I am from the Midwest so I love watching your Alaskan adventures. What an awesome tool to have!! So excited to see all the benefits of building it will bring you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing and keep up the hard work!!
If you’re concerned about the snow, you could build a cover for your new sawmill.😎👍🏽 it’s awesome to see all your new projects & how excited y’all get!🤠🎉👍🏽
PS: Red tool house here on TH-cam has the same brand of saw, and he does some really great tutorials on homemade jigs, accessories, and other tips for your mill.
Good point I overlooked that. Watch him as he helped the Hollar Homestead and didn’t pay attention to what brand. He has lots of tips. Liked his outdoor lighting tips too.
Do yourself a huge favor and get yourself a couple Steel Cant Hooks for turning logs. Your whole body will thanks you!! This purchase is probably the best one you have made for your situation. Congrats and thanks for sharing!!
Was happy to see this pop-up at one in the morning central time. I'm always interested in what you are doing and can't wait to see what you are building with all the wood you are going to mill.
Great job helping each other. When I lived in the woods in Kentucky, I cut my own firewood. Property had been logged before I bought it, so first year I cut some of the leavings. Then I found out a sawmill sold slabs. I had a load delivered and built a sawbucks to use. I doubled the Xs for the frame so a chain saw blade would fit in between. When I loaded it with slabs and cut between the Xs, each armful stayed on the sawbucks. Saved lots of bending and picking each piece up. All I had to do was put my arm under each cut and load it into woodshed, which I built out of slab wood.
You are going to LOVE the LM29 - we bought ours about 6 years ago here in AL and it paid for itself very quickly. It’s all a learning experience but you’re going to love milling your own wood, congrats you all. Be safe and can’t wait to see more of it. The two of us put ours together in about 2 weeks, those books they came with are handy.
I am a grandma in the middle of Minnesota and I just watched a sawmill being put together. Isn't the internet wonderful? You guys did great. Even after 36 years of marriage, my husband and I would have been on opposite ends of the property within an hour!
Way to go guys. We had a norwood years ago. We were just looking at them again with the Kohler. You are going to love it. We are retired now but still have lots of building projects to do, so might end up buying another one.
My two uncles built a sawmill, it was a wonderful project and they built two cottages and several outbuildings. My dad was the one with the land and the trees so it made things very cost effective. I really admire the two of you, you are going to really enjoy being about to mill your own boards. This is an amazing project.
I knew it had to either be an extended solar system, or a sawmill. That is going to be so cost-effective for you guys, the price of lumber is ridiculous. The 4x6 that you made here in Mobile is $47.67. it certainly won't take long. Great going, can't wait to see it in use more.
You guys are awesome. I’ve watched your chicken coop and wood shed construction videos multiple times. I can’t wait to see what construction projects you have lined up.
Now to build a shed for the mill, to keep the elements off of it. And a shed for drying the lumber. Projects seem to beget more projects, but it’s all enjoyable building stuff for yourself!
Great suggestions!
The sky is the limit with your new toy!! And i KNOW you are so excited!! A pleasant surprise for me but i should have known you would get one! It's almost a very necessary tool there!!
And a shower!!
@@lydiadillard4417 i thought they had a shower already!
@@vernareed2692 they do. I believe there shower is open on the top and bottom. And wanted a more inclosed shower. One that is heated as well.

I don't know who's more excited about all those boxes--Eric or the cat.
Obviously the cat, it’s cardboard box heaven 😻
Yep, I think the cat was definitely more excited :D
Omg I’ve never seen their cat more engaged! “Oh for me?! You shouldn’t have. Yes you should have.”

Good morning from central PA Shawn ... take care.

Awesome 2 YT channels!
With all of your guys' cooking, I sure am hoping to see an outdoor kitchen soon!!! 🔨🔨🔨🔨
Living in a warmer Alaskan climate than them, we still want the kitchen heat in the house most of the year. We’re coastal though, and don’t get the heat they do
Yes!
LOL... "Do you have to know everything right now??" -- YES Yes she does!!! LOL. Love you guys
No one yet has seen the whole video but they have commented, that's how exciting the videos are.
Those are some fine people !
I had no idea what a sawmill was!! Love the process. Wow. At 70 year old woman enjoying your life choices
You and your wife are truly the best can’t wait to see all the projects you do with it. Congrats to you both.
“It isn’t as easy as you would think”! I got news for you, I wasn’t thinking it was gonna be easy to begin with. Y’all are amazeballs.
OMG - You two give me a smile that lasts the entire video. Watching the 'kids' - I'm old so these two are kids - excited and enthusiasm at times is a Christmas Morning joy to behold. Smart move on the mill and I'm sure you'll make great use of it. Way cool, stay safe.

It’s a 11pm in Arizona and I’m watching you guys . Can’t get enough of this channel .
3:30 am here in N.Y. lol
12:20am Montana time and I'm watching this channel to help me sleep
With all the machinery, heavy equipment, electronics, etc you incorporate in your life your channel should be called sophisticated living Alaska. Nothing simple about it when it comes to skills. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
It is nice that you are not afraid of the Work, take care of Nature and love Life!
I wish you Health and new adventures...
I can't comprehend how much energy you two doing the work that you do!.... God bless both of you!
Its so cool that you can work together, and laugh when things are a bit tough. You have a great partnership.
honestly I started watching this channel because I'm interested in homestead but they have become my role models in how couples should be. They are so supportive of each other and seem so in love all the time. I'm sure there are conflicts we don't see off camera but man, I hope my future wife and I can get along this well!
Two of the Best TH-cam channels. All of you are just amazing Humans. Thank you both Eric and Arielle and Shawn James for sharing your life with the world.
Could be a nice little side business as well once you’re finished with your projects.
Make some money off the sawmill so you have funds for those things you can't build. What's the endgoal for the cabin? Since it is rough land, have you thought about building a walkway bridge over the boggy part for wildlife viewing, strolls? You guys are awesome, so interesting watching your videos everytime.
My husband is soooo jealous ! You two just keep continuing to improve your property. We are so very impressed . Have fun and be safe .
I have a feeling this will pay for itself 10 fold with the cost of lumber right now. What a great investment. Plus being able to use your own beetle kill wood is excellent for the environment.
Why not? There are so many useable dead trees available. Getting a mill makes total sense. You two have made such good practical decisions with your generator, your 6x6, your snowmobiles, your boat, your high tunnel green house, and so on. The days are so short in the wanter you have more time to think, talk, research and plan. You have such long days in the summer, you can just get it done. It is a nice natural rhythm.

Congrats guys. I think every homestead should have an awesome sawmill especially when the homestead has its' own trees to mill.
You guys blow me away. What a great life you live and your 'try-anything' attitude is awesome.
That is some next level ikea relationship test...
Hahaha so true!!
I think the coolest thing about you two is the way your both all in together. Not very many people will actually go all in like you do, a couple that does is pretty rare.
Have had one for 5 years this will be life changing no longer a slave to the lumber yard.
How blessed you are to have a lady with muscles and a strong back, and cute too! She lifts those logs like a trooper.
What a smart purchase. Self-sufficiency at it's finest. Happy 4 u.
I love this video. Very much like an Andrew Camareta video. Covers weeks or even months of work and filming. You guys are my heroes!
OMGoodness, all those boxes to open and all those pieces to put together. You two make a great team and I so enjoy your videos. Just please be safe with that sawmill.

Cant hook and pulp hook are indispensable for moving logs. I’ve got 2 of each and work alone! The right tools make things so much easier.
I am not sure there could be anything more satisfying than milling your own lumber for your own projects,
So excited to wake up to the notification this morning in the UK. LOVE IT! That booklet gave me the chills, you guys did so well. You work so hard and are literally winning! Already looking forward to the next one! ❤💯👌
You have definitely added to the definitions of tenacity and perseverance! Congrats!

Your next purchase should be a sharpener for your blades. Those blades can be expensive. Great job at setting it up.
Cheaper to just take it in and have it sharpened every now and then
@@Mike-bs5pi I betcha they got some good blade sharpeners up in Alaska : )
Yeah my buddies dad runs a farm, hes the saw mill blade guy lmao
Almost exactly one year ago I watched you mill all the planks for the wood shed with a chain saw mill. What a difference!
What a productivity increase this will bring to your projects! Still, such a lot of work and focus to obtain precision! Happy for you all!
That woman can work!!! I did not hear one curse word! I really enjoy all your videos, especially the scenery.
Good to see Bo on a jaunt to the big city! Jee whiz y'all, gardeners, hunters, lumberjacks! I salute you 🥰 ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️

Makes perfect sense with lumber prices and all the beetle kill around. Kudos! You need a roof over it though
My thoughts exactly. They can mill 1/2 inch thick, wide boards for roofing shingles.
So happy for you too. The joy and excitement was so evident on your faces. Eric you are so blessed to have Areial there with you. What I am about to say will cause you to get her a bigger hat cause her head will swell. She is the perfect woman. Pretty, smart, strong, obviously loving and just plain huggable. Enjoy your new mill and be safe. Till next time, bye.
I worked many years in a lumbermill and it gets quite fulfilling once you can get the most out of a single log, satisfactory :)
It was awesome to watch you both put your saw together. If it was my wife and I most likely it would have taken month. Your problem solving is wonderful and be able to reason out your mistakes early. Your attention to detail is a gift. Congratulation on your new saw and look forward to see your end results. Cheers

This video was in my top five favorites of your channel. I am from the Midwest so I love watching your Alaskan adventures. What an awesome tool to have!! So excited to see all the benefits of building it will bring you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing and keep up the hard work!!
If you’re concerned about the snow, you could build a cover for your new sawmill.😎👍🏽 it’s awesome to see all your new projects & how excited y’all get!🤠🎉👍🏽
Awesomeness!!! 💖 the mill, Congratulations!!🎉🎉🎊🎊💥
Ill give you a tip. my friend and i did on his log mill. make a ramp out of logs to roll logs up on your mill
Back saver 3000.
Lots of Work, But you had a good helper, and made some memories looks like your set now .. Take care .
Ariel is hooked on the mill for sure !!! Kudos
PS: Red tool house here on TH-cam has the same brand of saw, and he does some really great tutorials on homemade jigs, accessories, and other tips for your mill.
Good point I overlooked that. Watch him as he helped the Hollar Homestead and didn’t pay attention to what brand. He has lots of tips. Liked his outdoor lighting tips too.
Do yourself a huge favor and get yourself a couple Steel Cant Hooks for turning logs. Your whole body will thanks you!! This purchase is probably the best one you have made for your situation. Congrats and thanks for sharing!!
Was happy to see this pop-up at one in the morning central time. I'm always interested in what you are doing and can't wait to see what you are building with all the wood you are going to mill.
Great job helping each other.
When I lived in the woods in Kentucky, I cut my own firewood. Property had been logged before I bought it, so first year I cut some of the leavings. Then I found out a sawmill sold slabs. I had a load delivered and built a sawbucks to use. I doubled the Xs for the frame so a chain saw blade would fit in between. When I loaded it with slabs and cut between the Xs, each armful stayed on the sawbucks. Saved lots of bending and picking each piece up. All I had to do was put my arm under each cut and load it into woodshed, which I built out of slab wood.
You are going to LOVE the LM29 - we bought ours about 6 years ago here in AL and it paid for itself very quickly. It’s all a learning experience but you’re going to love milling your own wood, congrats you all. Be safe and can’t wait to see more of it. The two of us put ours together in about 2 weeks, those books they came with are handy.
longest days of light of the year , perfect time to start a long project . good job !
Great thing about having your own sawmill is you have perfect dimensional lumber.
I've forgotten when dimensional lumber is used...
Had to like before i even watched. That would be the only way to build now a days. Good for you guys- what a fun life!!
I am a grandma in the middle of Minnesota and I just watched a sawmill being put together. Isn't the internet wonderful? You guys did great. Even after 36 years of marriage, my husband and I would have been on opposite ends of the property within an hour!
I could sit and watch you cut wood all day! I'm sure using hand saws are not much fun now. Lol
Congratulations! So happy for you.
The sawmill will be a game changer! Congrats!
The mill is a great addition to the homestead. Congrats..That will make life fun and exciting.
Way to go guys. We had a norwood years ago. We were just looking at them again with the Kohler. You are going to love it. We are retired now but still have lots of building projects to do, so might end up buying another one.
Goody, goody. A new toy! Cannot wait to see all of your new projects.
...that mill should get 'er done, good luck, stay safe and have a good weekend...
My two uncles built a sawmill, it was a wonderful project and they built two cottages and several outbuildings. My dad was the one with the land and the trees so it made things very cost effective. I really admire the two of you, you are going to really enjoy being about to mill your own boards. This is an amazing project.
I knew it had to either be an extended solar system, or a sawmill. That is going to be so cost-effective for you guys, the price of lumber is ridiculous. The 4x6 that you made here in Mobile is $47.67. it certainly won't take long. Great going, can't wait to see it in use more.
You guys are awesome. I’ve watched your chicken coop and wood shed construction videos multiple times. I can’t wait to see what construction projects you have lined up.
Oh the look on a man's face when he gets new tools...I love it
Oh heck! This is such great new toy! I am so excited to see all the builds you get done with it. Congrats!
