Cody, I have watched and recommended your videos to several people. sometimes they complain that they are a little boring like when you were cutting the wooden dowels. What these people don't understand is that watching someone work in the job site and make mistakes and find work around and solutions is completely invaluable to us Youngblood homemakers. This training is the most that some of us will ever get. Thanks so much for all your effort and please don't edit out the small mundane details, they make a world of difference to some of us.

I've been studying Joel Salatin for 15 years and that anecdote is magnificent. He shares advice for someone new to the country side: if you're visiting a neighbor and he starts chatting, but you're in a hurry, best get over yourself and turn over a 5 gal pail and listen a while.

If you're a regular viewer the titles shouldn't matter. If you're a new viewer the title is what brought you here.

Jon the tinkering AMT I don't blame him at all....more videos = more views = more $$. If I had a channel I'd do it

That Black Walnut story made me LOL!

I have really enjoyed your series on modern homesteading. I especially enjoyed your recent video on how you are getting organized and you found it to be a Biblical principle. You have inspired me to become more organized and follow more Biblical principles. I can only imagine Jesus being inspired by Joseph's​ carpentry and learning humility from him as anyone who tries to to build or repair something must learn pretty quickly. Thanks again and I look forward to more great episodes. Sincerely, Les Edwards Columbia SC

You finally get to be outside again! All of our snow finally melted about a week ago, granted, you are a bit higher in elevation, but boy, does it feel good to be outside and not in the single digits! Keep up the good work.

Cody, don't change a thing. Love what you're doing, the stories, the pace, the humor. Keep up the good work. :)

@14:05 it gets even better... There's another mountain, actually... A mountain of freshly split wood. There, just on the right. It may or may not even have a snowy peak! :)

Every time I hear u mention the metric system I get a good chuckle. Loving the mill videos from Australia :)

Serious signs of spring, Mr. Wranglerstar firing up the Lucas sawmill.

Black Walnut is $16/bdft S2S SLR 1E here in Bozeman, MT. That much lumber is like a pile of gold. I love pairing Black Walnut with Cherry.

Come to Missouri. The Mennonite's with small lumber mills sell black walnut and white oak for $3 a board foot.

Saw mill joy, I so want to see that mill slicing the log into boards, what a rig!!! I remember working in a mill in northern Maine for a summer where I was a low saw man, (one guy on top of the log and one below) to pull the saw through the log to rough cut planking. I would have sold the neighbor's kid to have had a mill like this!!! What beautiful day to work outside...at last!

You've been living my dream, Cody! I wish I'll be able to move to the nature one day with my family. Love the view you have there... God found this place for you. I'm always amazed just by the beauty of the nature around your property.

Looking forward to this series of videos. When you mentioned it does not get any better than this with snow covered Mt. Fuji and the Lucas saw mill while showing us the mountain of processed fire wood in the background of the video. Yes, life is good indeed.

I can't help but grin from ear to ear whenever Cody says something about the metric system. I pause the video, go grab a cup of coffee and get my daily dose of comedy in the comments section. Nothing better than reading grown men throwing fits on the internet while not getting the joke. keep it up Cody! I have a feeling he gets a few chuckles out it too...

It's always nice to see the evolution of skills you're making as these various projects progress. It makes for a nice reminder and encouragement that there is not a line between the master and the beginner but a range and we as practitioners are somewhere in that range.

Glad the snow is clearing for you and you are able to get outdoors. I enjoy the views at your place. Thanks for the video.

Another great video. Its nice to see the hand tools being used instead of battery powered drills and saws. I don't know why anyone would dislike this video

I'm really enjoying these videos - nice length to get into detail and yet not boring! There is so much to learn!

Can't wait to see how these turn out. It's amazing how the mood seems to change when the sun comes out for the first time in the spring.

Cody really excited to watch you enjoy your Lucas saw mill. The Lucas family was featured in a documentary recently in Sydney about how a small family business born out of a farming family now employee's a good portion of local people in the very small town from where the mill was started and is now manufactured.

Damn, I can never get enough of these videos man. Usually whenever I go on KZread I have a few videos in my notifications and when this channel is one of them, it's always first one I watch.

I really enjoy Joel Salatin videos, he has a great outlook on farming as a business.

Your joy in finally seeing some good weather really comes across, and I love it! I've been feeling the same way over the last couple days here up in BC. It just feels like it's been months without a drop of sunlight... Really makes a guy stop and appreciate it when the old sun comes out. Best, Bob

Glad we got to see the sawmill cutting at the end. Waiting for tomorrow, thanks.

As an ex amish guy I am deeply offended by your title! Not really. Love your work. Love your common sense. If you ever want a tour of an Amish community let me know. I can show you around Shipshewana, IN. However, they aren't as primitive as most people think.

Thanks for the entertainment Wranglerstar clan! I've seen every video and I enjoy them all. I'd rather watch the back catalog than TV. Sure hope the drone flying is as easy as you say. I bid a video job to do real estate video of buildings and I bought the big drone. I'm sure there will be a learning curve, but I've been flying RC for 25 years.

Wranglerstar, nice to see you still starting your saw with the proper (safe) method!

That's a great story about Joel Salatin. Congrats on that black walnut score! The smell of freshly milled walnut is pretty great, I'm sure you will love that experience. Keep up the good work!

I like your little storys, while you are working. And it is always good to work outside with wood on a nice sunny day. Greetings

I have seen a Lucas Mill demo at a logging show in Bancroft, Ontario about 7 years ago. Nice rig with some cool features but limited functionality in some ways. Definitely better suited for some than others. I contemplated going with the Lucas but ended up with a typical bandsaw mill. Milling your own lumber is some of the most satisfying work one can do. I love the Wranglerstar videos and get a lot of good advice/information from them. My next projects are timber framed buildings for my cider press and maple sugar shack.

I love the sound of your community. sounds like people are still people to one another

Yeah! More Benchmade 940, so nice to see in the wild.

I lost it when he said cocaine lol great vid Cody.

Robert Allen I did my self

Years ago, I wrote an article, for the Rural Heritage magazine, comparing portable sawmills, and the Lucas was one of my favorites. Have you ever considered "riving" lumber ? Quarter-Sawn lumber falls asleep @ night, wishing it were "riven".

I've seen people marking the heart crack (with a sharpie) on either end of the log and then turning the log before milling so that the heart crack is as close to level with the saw cuts as possible. Apparently, this helps reduce twisting as it dries, as the heart crack is an indicator of the weak spot of the tree, and shows the way the cells in the wood are already shrinking.

Yet another amazing video, love the content you provide. We are all so thankful to have someone like you on KZread!

I got to tell ya, that little teaser at the end of the video has really got me looking forward to seeing some sawdust fly!

Happy first day of Spring!

It is the duty of our generation to plant black walnut so that our great grand children can have stories.

Doesn't get any better than that!! Its incredible how handy a tractor is with the right implements. I'm ready for winter to be over here in vt but I'm excited to see your snowblower when that comes as well lol

Great looking weather out there and it looks like you're getting some of that snow melted off as well!

I absolutely love the way the channel is done and I find myself watching the videos as soon as I can and sometimes more than once> Thank you for sharing I realyu appreciate everything you show.

If you ever come to Pa, look me up, we can mill some hardwoods

It looks like your log bunks have saw marks on two of the four. Keep posting the great videos.

very nice video, I enjoyed it very much I find your content relaxing. find myself needing to get to your channel and see what you have for us each day. never been around a saw mill before can't wait to see how it works.

Love the metric system jokes. Kills me every time. Great videos Cody.

look forward to seeing what shelf the black walnut will be used for....

Be sure to video the Black Walnut cutting! Great video as always!

Great video thank you can't wait to see the mill running

That story you just told about the black walnut trees and the person you were talking to about him and what he said toyou made me laugh love your videos keep up the good work

My Dad didn't sell his logging equipment till he was 72. Logging is a hard life and I guess its even harder to give up.

Love the stories and experiences mate keep it coming the happiest shines through

Your comments show a real love of wood.

I see there is some complaints at how you make your videos. Personally, I like how it is. How you educate and inform. Tell stories to us and simply by being a human, how you live your life... I find it entertaining and it helps me grow as a person... Thanks and good day to you and your family.

I'm excited to see this lumber, and the saw horses that come from it.

That's interesting. The bark protects the tree while it's alive, but it's makes it rot more quickly when it's dead. It looks like those aluminum chocks have already had a run-in with a saw blade. When in doubt, blame the metric system. That works for me. Now that you have a Yanmar, the proverb still holds: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. That's one of the major things that hooked me on your channel.

Excellent video as always! It seems I'm always learning new things.

Keep doing what you're doing, Mr. W. Don't let the others discourage you.

Hadn't thought about over drilling the hole / under cutting the dowel. Learned another great tip. Darned Metric system anyway. Love the sharing half the (raw gift) wood principal. I'll have to implement that in life. Thanks

simple yet productive saw mill!

Ready to see some saw milling! We don't have that kind of saw, just the slabber attachment, so it will be something new. Best of luck! Keep up the good work!

Love black walnut. I have a really bad short video of my Grandpa dropping a huge black walnut that he made into a table. Such a beautiful wood

Hi from Australia, love your videos and your great positive attitude, and the kinds words you have about Australia, I love the Lucas Mill as well :) thanks again for the enjoyment you give me with your videos and letting me experience the lovely place where you live Cheers :)

That black walnut would be amazing. That will be a great video series too. Great work. God bless.

Awesome video as always :) Thanks for the hard work and the content.

Finally, man, you're starting doing business. God bless you

Can't wait for the next part!

Keep up the good work, you tell a great story. Artful handling of that log grappler.

I was trying to give you a certain KZread channel about processing logs and hoisting them onto the mill. There's a KZread channel called The Outsider. Him and his dad have done some pretty innovative ways of hoisting or logs on to the mill. Although they have a much better way now. But still pretty Innovative. I think you would really like that channel.

Love your story telling.

If the deal goes through on the black walnut you might look into using some of it in your rifle project. My dad built a 25-06 Mauser action and got hold of some local Black Walnut for the stock. It's a very beautiful rifle

I should have know better, two parts? Who could have guessed? lol Great video Cody! Looking forward to the next few.

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but it would be awesome if you and the Samurai Carpenter got together for a video series. He posted a pretty negative review of his experience with his Norwood sawmill. Given your plans to do some timber framing in the (near?) future, it would be really cool for the two of you to get together and build some high quality stuff.

Living the Lucas Mill dream. I know that feeling.

excited to see the black walnut I hope it pans out. thanks for the video cody!!

Great video! Do you have part two filmed yet? Love to see it.

It is a real nice view you have. Can't wait to see some boards from the Lucas mill.

thanks for another great vid Cody

Walnut is one of my fav. woods to work with. Hope it works out for you.

Hi, the logs with mushrooms or fungus on them are perfectly fine to cut timber from them, but I would not recommend to use the excess as firewood in the log cabin, specially if you stack those on the porch. And if anything starts to pop up on the cut timber use a heatgun or gently a blowtorch to eliminate the mushrooms from growing, one other thing to use is acid to stop the growth. If you do not have reasonable acid in hand the the cemicals that you have to clean the toilet will work for dealing with fungus, just put some cloves on. All the best.

that's the funniest thing I have ever heard Cody say "its Like cocaine!!!" I spat my dinner across the room hahahaha too funny

My wife asked me why I have a Lucas Saw Mill on my Amazon wish list... I sent her the link to you videos... Nuff said! Cheers!

Cody, You will have to have the Grocery Store Lumberjack in the video while you load up the log and see if he is up for a short interview on his years in the Timber Trades.

Black walnut another version of black gold! Nice vid Cody....love the music on this one too!!

Beautiful work space you have there

I remember in 2008 up here in MA we had a disastrous ice storm, brought down full size trees like twigs. One of the trees that came down on our property was a 4 story tall black walnut tree that had grown among the pines, so it was as straight as a ship'mast with almost no knots and lower limbs, and it came up by the roots. and didnt crack when i landed. I spents two weeks trying to convince my father to sell it to a lumber mill, but he thought it "wasnt worth the hassle" and just gave it to our neighbor for firewood. Still breaks my heart.

personally. ........ I love the videos. .. don't know what everyone wants. don't care. it's better than TV. keep'm coming.

I rode motorcycles around that mountain Labor Day last year. Beautiful area.

your stories always amusme me

I love it when you say Amishish!

You had a way better day at work than I did. Haha. Thanks for the content! Very much appreciated.

I like your storytelling :) looking forward to see how the sawmilling turne out though.

love silky saws. Got a big boy and a smaller one. Cost a bit more but cut cleaner, faster and last so much longer than cheaper alternatives; I did snap the front off my big boy by not letting the saw do the work. Very hard blades.

That firewood pile in the background is huge.

I would love to see a wranglerstar project in curly maple and black walnut.

So what is the one thing on all cars that uses standard units? I just remembered you bringing it up in a video a while back but I don't remember you ever telling us the answer.
