And people say a sawmill job can't afford to offer any benefits.........scratching dog backs who are so happy to see you they prance up to you wagging their tail that is priceless right there
It's amazing the quickness and efficiency you apply to your work. Love to see a video from you on your methods of sorting all your cuts (looks like you have 3 or 4 piles of cuts) and why you do it. It's obvious your making use of most everything, but guessing your saving it for later maybe (the methods of a high production shop). Your the fastest and also confident Woodmizer sawyer I've seen on TH-cam and like to see more. Some of your "How to" video's have been great. Every Sawyer has "their" way of doing things and you seem like you've developed your own way. I'm trying to learn many sawyers way of doing things and using what works for me. Great to see you back with an amazing video on efficiency. Keep it up! Happy New Year!
Do you sell any of the small pieces of wood or bark that you throw away for kenneling for starting the fire in the winter. You only need like a handful to start it so. So I would buy 655 gallon barrels or something you can store it. Put a handful in the stove and then put your other wood on top smaller works great. And you can light it with a match when it's dry. Then put some cobs of corn in it after while to clean the chimney. Something waste from a field. The stock the leaves the corn cob with no seat on it I'd buy them too.. corn cleans a chimney very well.
Yup. That thing is slaying those logs! Can really tell the difference between the two hydraulic pumps the LT70 has vs the LT40HDDW I’ve got. Beautiful mill guys and excellent milling 😀👍🏼
I almost bought a frick about 4 years ago. It was/is a fantastic, running mill with one extra 52” (I believe) blade with buckets of spare teeth, good running Detroit diesel power unit and the fella was asking $4,200. I told him I was wanting to double check measurements and I’d be back the following week to take measurements of his mill so I could put in some concrete before we tried moving it that way we could just unbolt a section at a time at his place and transfer it to mine and set back in place and bolt it back down and together and two days later I had to have emergency surgery and was in the hospital for a couple weeks and when I got out and recovered enough to discuss it again, he had decided to keep it again. I did notice tho lately that he has not hardly run it much in the past year so I’m curious if he would be interested in selling again. How long have you had your Frick and do you like it? I know they are much more work than a woodmizer but the cost is a huge factor!! Take care brother and be safe around both the Frick and the Jeep! I think you and I would get along great! I’ve got 4 jeeps
@@1982MCI hi there a jeep gut also . The Frick mills are real nice mills . what size is it . and does it have tapered bearings on the axle , steel or wood . thanks john
Nice work and shop,.. i would definitely add a exhaust hose with fan of some sort ... diesel exhaust is heavy and poisonous and always falls downwards... health is precious.
The camera view from behind you the Sawyer is a much better view for what we are subscribers would like to see. Are you the couple who are selling the sawdust in little packages? If not, you should look into that people like to have the smell in their closet. Stay safe.🇨🇦✌️
@@pattonwoodworks Good. I love your work ethic which is a lot more scarce these days in your generation. Iv seen too many kids squandered opportunity with or with out family help.. Anyway keep it up.
Glad to see you at the helm of the LT70 once more...been a while, but it sounds like you have been pretty busy, what with having a regular job and the saw mill. Not much time for goofing off. You have certainly taught yourself how to get the most out of the new mill. While it is definitely operable with a single person, it seems to flow better with a second person...I don't think it was your dad so it was possibly your brother. Nice teamwork! The LT70 makes it easier to operate with only one person with the lumber dropping down near the operator. Now all that is left is automating getting the log onto the lift arms. This definitely saves time. I think you would have had a tougher time doing this if you were still in your old shed. You have working space here. Real nice looking logs you have. Are you buying these or are you harvesting them yourself? Keep up the good work! Stay healthy.
Man I bet it smells so good there with all that cut up cedar and does it ever stop raining or snow there I don’t think I’ve ever seen it dry in one of your videos and I’ve watch many of them.Would love to see some wood turning 👍👍👍👍😉
Yes the cedar smell is very strong but we hardly smell it anymore we’re so used to it. The reason for the rain and snow in the videos I make is because that’s the only time I have extra time to make videos lol. When it’s dry I just don’t have the time to make videos. My brother does all the wood turning I could ask him about making a video to post👍
First time viewing your channel just want to say nice job .. you have a great secondary income on TH-cam if you put out the content .. I’ll be subscribing to forward to your future videos keep up the good work 👍
What this I've a Lt 70 and its no where near as quick ! Also quite a bit different! What set works is it on your machine? Think I may need to trade in for a newer model !!
@@pattonwoodworks electric also eliminates the potential to be mobile also, especially when its 3 phase. But if you know you will never move the mill, then it can be a great way to go
Hey thanks! During this video I was using a 10 degree Kasco brand blade. I don’t really recommend them though, right now I’m using 739 from Woodmizer and love them they last way longer. Just depends on the mill you have as well for which type you can run
Did you modify your mill so that the hydraulics work without the head being retuned to the home position? I notice that you were able to release the log holder when the mill head was at the opposite side of the home position.
Woodmizer made that change a couple years ago so the newer models have that ability now. I remember when I was ordering my LT 50 and talking to the woodmizer rep about that but I think they only made that change on the 70’s but I could be wrong. But it does help with the speed of things tho
Do you still go out on the road with that mill? My mill is in Hermann and Sometimes people call who are closer to you. If you are interested I could refer them to you.
For red cedar we don’t sticker any orders. 95% of the orders are used straight off the mill. It’s not like oak where it will twist and warp all over this just shrinks 1/16-1/8” typically. Most people for the decks, planter boxes and fences we cut for are good with that. Some people who use for interior walls and woodworking projects let the wood dry for a few weeks before using
Awesome machine maybe a few hundred hours give it something to naw on it looks like it isnt accomplishing what it is ment for its screaming use me use me. Naw I'm kidding I'm sure it's doing excactly what u need it to nice setup I wish I had a belt under my sawdust chute sometimes
All BS aside on average whats a good day in Bdft/hr counting changing blades and having the logs there? I just seen a video stating 40,000,000 in 20,000 Hrs. with a LT70 and as far as I can find anywhere thats legit a 1000 Bdft/hr is tops a 7000 with 3 people in 8 hrs is great. What are your thoughts?
I don’t cut anywhere near that because we cut small red cedar logs and it’s just my dad and I cutting. We probably cut 500-1000 bf a day avg and I’m very happy with that we cut smaller custom orders. Ive cut for a group of people up north and they had 6 people helping cutting big logs and we cut 10,000 bf a day. The mill will cut it, that’s not the problem. The problem is having enough people and logs to keep up with it.
@@pattonwoodworks I understand, thats my point also, not only would you have to cut 2000 Bdft hour at over 16000 Bd/ft a day, and have the Log supply and the Man power and no breakdowns. I told him I was sure he miscalculated because I didnt want to accuse him of lying.
Because cedar dust is extremely harmful to your lungs! There’s a lot of animals that it will kill if they breath the cedar dust , especially chickens, turkeys and other birds
You can look up the prices on woodmizer.com if you really want to know but if your sitting here asking then I promise you, it’s out of your price range. A top of the line, loaded out pickup truck will be less than this is
The smell in that pole barn is probably amazing and no bugs or rodents for a mile! Nice video of skillful production work!
oddly satisfying to watch smooth production of lumber. Kinda relaxing.
And people say a sawmill job can't afford to offer any benefits.........scratching dog backs who are so happy to see you they prance up to you wagging their tail that is priceless right there
A good operator makes good equipment look like magic.
hope thats me thanks john
Good stuff. Really shows what kind of production someone who knows what they're doing can get out of one of those machines. Excellent.
Thanks! I appreciate it

Thanks! Yeah Ill try to make a video soon on explaining the way we have everything set up. Thanks for watching happy New Years to you as well!
I can just imagine the smell of the freshly cut cedar, you make quick work of sawing the logs. Thanks for the video.
so glad to see the next generation taking up these trades necessary for civilization to go on. good for you
thanks for sharing
The funny thing is I was looking more at your pole barn shop rather than the sawmill
not sure witch one thanks john
Wow ! Was a kid and now an awesome entrepreneur !

We do sell bundles of the bark slabs. They are roughly 8’ long 3’high and 3’ wide
Yup. That thing is slaying those logs! Can really tell the difference between the two hydraulic pumps the LT70 has vs the LT40HDDW I’ve got. Beautiful mill guys and excellent milling 😀👍🏼
The hydraulics are super fast definitely a big difference. I never ran a lt 40 but I had the lt35. Thank you!
You are lucky having a swamper who pays attention and keeps the flow going.
I know what you're talking about! When I'm operating, the worst thing is when the off bearer puts in ear buds.
I was going to watch the entire video, but I watched the entire video. Great work!
Good to see a video from you again! What an efficient operation!
Thank you!
your living my dream young man!!!!!!!
Great mill and thanks for sharing your videos.
That's the best speed that i have saw on the smaller band mills

The learning never stops. Good Job.
Thank you
in this size of log, 4minutes is ok, we work whit 40-60cm logs normally (size doesnt fix in the TVS) and takes a little bit more
Just last week I was wondering about you. Glad to know you are busy.
We’ve been very busy and things are going pretty good still. Thanks for watching!
Wow, just a little bit faster than the manual mill! Very cool.

Man oh man, that's how you saw some logs!

LT70. ? The girls use a 40 at capital lumber and log yard...yours is a beast... need for a bigger seems nil . Unless...
What state are you guys located? Nice video by the way..
Sweet mill, but... Lot of exhaust fumes in that shed on a stagnant day?!!
How much is the wood mizer new for your set up... guestimate
according to last price i got for lumber , you just sawed about 500 dollars in wood
probably 3 or 4 times that
you guys thinking about getting clamping forks or is it not worth it for your work? cute svl seat cover ;)
This axgood video!
Glad to see your respirators as that cedar can kill you . Fast mill you have there. I'm somewhat surprised due to the shortness of you log deck
Very nice
How much money does this job make yearly?
You guys have a really nice barn, what size is it?
Thank you! Its a 30x60 building
What this I've a Lt 70 and its no where near as quick ! Also quite a bit different! What set works is it on your machine? Think I may need to trade in for a newer model !!
Hi, can someone please tell me how many meters cubed of timber can this sawmill cut per hour?
production - the future is electric
I’d love to have a electric motor on this mill but Production with electric is 3phase and that is out of the question for the time being.
@@pattonwoodworks electric also eliminates the potential to be mobile also, especially when its 3 phase. But if you know you will never move the mill, then it can be a great way to go
Where have you been?
Hey! What kinda blade are you running on the mill. Man that's fast. I just subscribed. Look forward to more. Thanks Tim.
Hey thanks! During this video I was using a 10 degree Kasco brand blade. I don’t really recommend them though, right now I’m using 739 from Woodmizer and love them they last way longer. Just depends on the mill you have as well for which type you can run

Do you still go out on the road with that mill?
My mill is in Hermann and Sometimes people call who are closer to you. If you are interested I could refer them to you.
Do you mind me asking where you guys are located
I’m about 50 miles west of St. Louis Missouri
How do I contact you about purchasing lumber ?
If you’d like to call or send a email that works great.
I loaded lumber and materials for 25 years with depot its time to take matters into my own hands! 😆
very satisfy
I didn't see stickers used in piling. Is that customer specific? I would think stickering as you pile is the way to go.
For red cedar we don’t sticker any orders. 95% of the orders are used straight off the mill. It’s not like oak where it will twist and warp all over this just shrinks 1/16-1/8” typically.
