Thanks for not “cutting” out your mistakes. We are all human and make mistakes, so let’s try to learn something from them. I really enjoy watching and learning from your content. Thanks again! God bless!
I’m glad you showed the clearance issue on the second cut. I do the same thing all the time. Some people will probably say stupid stuff about it but I respect you for showing that it happened.
I have hired a guy to mill 3 cherry logs 17" Dia.X 8 ft. He doesn't speak English and not familiar with quartersaw. This is the best , most simple video I've seen that I will use to show him what I want .thanks .
@@NorthwestSawyerI know 17” is not a huge log , but for black cherry in Quebec , Canada it’s a beauty . I hope I get a good yield with quarter saw method . Im also air drying it and don’t want it to cup . Thanks
So that’s how it done! Nice looking stuff. Thanks for building that shed, I needed some sun.... If you want some rain just let me know and I’ll go wash my car.
This is why I like the super easy WM way to quarter up a log. No splitting the pith, no clearance issues and easy to flip off the slabs :D But great video and work!
@@TheOldJarhead this is actually a buddy of mine that was looking for some cool wood to put in a bar he’s building for someone. It’s going to be live edge. I’ll try to post the finished product.
I enjoy watching you cut the trees up for lumber ! I’ve heard the term quarter sawn but didn’t know what it was until you 1/4 sawed that log ! Thankyou !
Nothing like quarter sawn white oak! The medullary rays are a sight to behold. It is slow, tedious sawing, but the end result is always worth the trouble. Nice job. White oak trees are abundant in Indiana, but no doug firs!
I always thought quartersawing was a painfull math problem then the tedious sawing. I'm a female age 70 but if ever I need the info I'll give you the credit for my success. Thanks. Enjoyed the video.
I like that method and the result was excellent. Not as labor-intensive as I first thought. I’d say that was worth the effort when the right log comes along. Good job. 😎👀👍🏗🪵
I enjoy your cinematic skills...above and beyond...you have a skill. Regarding white oak , you may want to put somestickers in between your steel forks and white oak....it will stain it badly....on my old mill even laying on the bunks!
I live in Roy Washington and I need to get a saw mill your video is great the way you Leave all the stuff that happens and not cut it out. I am a Retired union Carpenter after 30 year of building bridges and hi sky buildings and working on concrete forms now I’m doing what I love working with wood 🪵 making stuff I have a lot of reclaimed hardwood dunnage
Thanks Doug. I wanted custom lumber too, so that is another reason I bought my sawmill. The first log I put on the saw was Cherry. I quarter sawed it into some beautiful lumber. Big $$$ for quarter saw lumber.
I enjoy your videos. I have wanted a mill forever. The items I could build would be awesome. Keep up the great videos and instruction on style and use of the mill.
Being the layman I am, I thought that was how you did when you quarter saw. I have seen many other ways. But you're the first one I've seen who does what I thought. Another entertaining and educational video. Thanks!
I had never seen 1/4 cut wood being cut before, Thank you for the schooling...I have gotten to where I enjoy watching you everyday, I always learn something.
Nice ray fleck in a lot of that lumber. Best part is how stable it will be once dry. Furniture quality lumber you have there. Very enjoyable to see the process. As a kid my Grandfather had a rotary mill in the mid 60s ,the part I remember was dealing with sawdust. Thanks for your efforts 👍 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
I think that is the best way to quarter saw wood. I haven't gotten a mill yet but I believe what you have will work for me! Are you still using the 747 blades? You do a great job with your video's! Do you send your blades back to Wood-Mizer to be sharpened? Near where I live I met a guy who gives sawmill demos on his old LT15. I think Wood-Mizer compensates him because I had to fill out some paper work. He had me saw a pine log into 1 inch boards and when I was done he gave me the boards! I really enjoyed that day and he calls me once in a while to see if I have bought a mill yet. I started wanting the LT 15GO then the LT 15 wide and now the LT 35 like yours. I started looking at the LT 40 wide cut but I've seen what you can do and I don't think I need more than the LT 35. Keep up the good work!
I wish I had a 40 wide but it was a stretch to afford the 35. Had I known how much money I’d earn with it, I’d have started with the 40. I’ve never had any blades sharpened but I have a pile of them to take in. Wood-Mizer is only about a 45 minute drive for me.
@@NorthwestSawyer From what I've seen you could use the LT40 wide. Where I live and on my property I'm looking at 24" trees mostly oaks. The guy that demoed his saw with me buys his blades from Wood-Mizer and sends the dull blades back in the same box. They clean, inspect ,sharpen and ship them back at a reasonable price. When you say you have a pile of blades it must be massive! I feel a big part of having a sawmill is knowing where and how the blades are going to get sharpened. From watching you and others it seems blades get dull fast, even if you don't hit something hidden in the log. I was thinking about setting up to sharpen my own blades but that can be expensive and time consuming. I definitely would start by buying Wood-Mizer blades and sending them back to be sharpened. The nearest Wood-Mizer is 5 hours away from me!
Your doing a fantastic job of educating people regarding the inside view, of something that we mostly see from the outside.... Regards from Yorkshire...
A lot of labor to succeed in achieving the end result. Love watching your videos and learning about what and how to do sawing to achieve the end product.
Hey, first of all it is good you ade it through the fires...glad your back and going. You got a good yield on that oak and it looks great. Long time follower...first time commenter Curt Hutchings
Thanks I've been learning so many things from your video I really like your approach to your videos I know you didn't set out to be a teacher but I think you are have a great weekend
I have several red oaks to saw and will try this method of quartersawing. I think you can add 2 more side supports as it’s an inexpensive option ($175) when you order a mill. It helps greatly to keep logs on the mill. I’ll look at my mill to see if it’s a bolt on installation. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Looks great....I was thinking...you could stand each board up beside the section with the bark edge down and saw off an inch, getting rid of the bark and a little sapwood at the same time.
Nozzel Cam..love it. Really liking your video content. New LT40 hydraulic owner up in Longview. Looking forward to meeting up someday. Probably at Portland Woodmizer. Keep it up!
I've got a 30 inch white oak I want to quarter saw. I've been putting it off because I have a manual mill. Taking the cut from the bottom will make it about 6% easier. Great video!
Turned out some beautiful lumber. I went in an old Country Store awhile back and they had quarter sawn Spalted Oak ship lap horizontally, on the interior walls.
I really like it when you show your oopsies. It makes for more interesting videos and for me it shows you don't need to edit out goof ups. OTW shows some of his mistakes, it makes good content. Thanks
Enjoy watching ur videos I'm planning on buying me a sawmill never done it before but want to get one to start I learned alot from u thanks for showing keep the videos coming I'm a subscriber bug fan
I'm impressed at the amount of lumber your John Deere can hold. We have a slightly smaller model about 35hp I think. It gets tippy quick! Good looking boards!
That’s nice looking QS Oak. I shudder to think what that would run at a local lumber store. Nice find. Should stain up nice and make some nice furniture. I’m thinking it’s going to end up in a hair salon somehow?
Hey, Jason, it looks good too, as for the rain Murphy's law comes into play there if you want it to rain then you need to build another structure upto the point where you need to start the roof...!!!

"Let me see if I can screw that up by sawing two at once" 😂 😂
They turned out beautiful! And nothing forecasts good weather like a roof! 😂
You caught that😂
Thanks for not “cutting” out your mistakes. We are all human and make mistakes, so let’s try to learn something from them. I really enjoy watching and learning from your content. Thanks again! God bless!
Thank you and stay tuned! I have a video coming up full of mishaps!😬
I absolutely love quarter sawn white oak. It makes beautiful furniture....or anything else for that matter. Congratulations on a beautiful yard log!
I’m glad you showed the clearance issue on the second cut. I do the same thing all the time. Some people will probably say stupid stuff about it but I respect you for showing that it happened.
I get a lot of comments from people saying they learn things from my videos. Mistakes are a great way to learn even if they’re someone else’s😬
Mistakes are a great way to learn ESPECIALLY if they are someone else’s ! Thanks for the video !
I realy in joy your videos and the different kinds of wood
Thank you!
that's the best example of how to quarter saw lumber! Thanks
I love that method of cutting quarter sawn, easiest way I've seen to date. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you!
Those hydraulic log clamps are incredible!! Too funny that it fell off the mill. Nice job getting it flipped around and back in place!

THAT !! is the right way to quarter saw a log ..well done.. great grain and a great vid ..thankyou
Thank you!
So that’s how it done! Nice looking stuff. Thanks for building that shed, I needed some sun....
If you want some rain just let me know and I’ll go wash my car.
Hahaha! Come wash mine too!
NS, you continue to amaze me with your skills and woodworking talents. You make an old man feel young enough to want a sawmill.
Thank you! This sawmill is making this middle aged man feel old!😬
Cutting two at once seemed to work out pretty good! I’m going to try that next time I do it.
This is why I like the super easy WM way to quarter up a log. No splitting the pith, no clearance issues and easy to flip off the slabs :D But great video and work!
Thank you! I actually just sold a bunch of that lumber and it’s looking amazing after a few passes through the planer.
@@NorthwestSawyer I bet! That is one area I am not in, by choice really. I am happy just being mobile!

There are several methods of how to quarter saw lumber, depending on the machine but this was one of the better ones. Thanks.

I'm sure many people appreciate you 'taking one for the team' and making the rains stop ;)
Good quarter sawing. Thanks for sharing the video.
Easiest way I’ve seen of quarter sawing so far. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Yes he made it look to easy
Man, I could make some great looking cabinets with that beautiful oak. Great job at milling.
Thank you!
First time I've seen anyone quarter saw by the book. The results are worth the extra labor and time.
I've been wanting to quarter saw. This is the best way so far. And easly explanation of it too.
That is a lovely amount of quarter sawn oak with minimal waste, congratulations and enjoy.
Thank you!
Added benefit of the roof over the mill: your intro narration sounds fantastic!
That’s mostly why I did it😬

I can’t wait to work with this stuff!
Fantastic video thanks for sharing.
That was really cool. Something I have not done with my woodmizer yet. I have dropped a few logs off the side of it though!!
It’s a right of passage 😬
Man that turned out great. The medullary rings make those boards a thing of beauty! Maybe try your hand a some arts and crafts projects.
Thanks, Rob! I have to make something out of this. It’s too good.

Well thanks, Curt! I’m working on a fire update video. Perhaps on the anniversary this September.
Thanks for the video I am planning on trying to do some quarter sawing on my lt35 which I purchased Last Summer after watching a lot of your videos
That’s awesome! Good luck!
Thanks I've been learning so many things from your video I really like your approach to your videos I know you didn't set out to be a teacher but I think you are have a great weekend
Nicely done. That first cut looked like a tough one! I'll give you a dollar to put it back together again....
I can’t buy enough glue with a dollar!😬
a neat way to quarter saw.That is the best way i have ever seen
Go out and wash your truck, camper or tractor. Then start to wax the one you washed. The rain will show up.

Beautiful looking quarter swan oak.👍
That's an economical way to quarter saw. I'll try it with my next oak log., Thanks.
Nice video. Great wood. After all that we have been through in the Pacific Northwest, it is not bad to ask for rain.
We got a little yesterday. And some hail😬
Very nice!
Thank you!
Great log , nice to have those hydraulics helping!
Always!
Looks great....I was thinking...you could stand each board up beside the section with the bark edge down and saw off an inch, getting rid of the bark and a little sapwood at the same time.
There would be no way to clamp the pieces in place for sawing.
Nice job . quarter sawing is a lot of work . I liked the way you did it . Bigger log might have been better ? I agree less waste .
Nice job I going to try your method of quart sawing
Awesome! Good luck!

Thank you for showing this to us all. I've struggled with the bark/round surface as I quarter saw. Getting it to clamp on solid is a challenge for me.
You used a good technique making the cuts at the bottom of the logs. When doing it this way, logs stay very stable. Good job, congrats.
