    This is what America is all about - taking a product (wood, timber) and adding value to it by improving it or making it marketable to others. We are motivated not by greed, but by profit, and by providing goods that other people value and purchase. The more you cut, the more you make. And to keep customers coming, you do your best to keep quality high and prices fair. I'm retired, but would love to be a part of this work team. I think it's just great. BRAVO!!!

    The LT 15 is a good solid mill for sure and that was a pretty good day on it. As for the big logs just take small slabs and keep turning and wittleing them down. You should be ok as long as you can still clear the logs with your sawhead carriage. This could be your only challenge but if you ever face that problem a great way to solve it is a log that big is a great candidate for quarter sawing so before putting a log to big for your carriage on the mill go ahead and split it and go for quarter saw it will improve the quality of the lumber with less lose of wood than whittling. Just a bit of advice from an old Sawyer that has been in those shoes and seen and done about everything that could get thrown at him. Although my experience was a circle mill I often got logs the blade just couldn't reach through. So this was how I learned to get the best out of tough situation.

    You are doing a nice job with it. I would make all my stickers 4 feet long. And be sure they are dry wood. Wet and green stickers will stain the wood when it is drying. We make all our stacks 4' wide, and are sure that the sticker on the ends of the boards is as close to the end of the board as possible. This prevents warping and cracks. The cracks will go in as far as the sticker. Green pine needs good ventilation too.

    Well, I guess that sawmill is worth the price. I think if you take a chainsaw and go right down the middle of those big logs you can split them in half longways. You'll need a wedge or a big heavy steel bar but you can spilt them. Nice music for a country boy. Enjoyed this one.

    Holy sawdust pile, Batman. That's some beautiful straight grain lumber you got yourself into. Even that ugly log had a lot of pretty wood in it. Somebody's going to have a right nice bonfire when that scrap dries out, and somebody's got a nice looking piece of land. Now, onto another subject. Is there much of a covid 19 problem in your area? I ask because here in Cody, and by extension, Park County , there is just one case. The county is the size of Conn. and Rhode Island put together, and the population is less than my home town in Massachsetts by 6600 people. You're out in the country so I imagine social distancing is easy for you too, but I remember you saying in an earlier video that you work as an x-ray tech, so I pray you are staying safe. I imagine cutting trees and milling them into lumber is a great stress reliever.

    Hello, I enjoy and intrigued on what it takes to get wood planks cut. I know it's hard work and thank you for taking us through the whole process. Can you make a base for a table the next time you get a tree with a wide section? ( where the main tree trunk would start to separate upward) I think you would have to stand and secure the section between the frame rails. I think if you could you would make a lot of money making bases for tables, especially with cedar trees.

    You might get more wood out of the log, and maybe slightly faster production, if during the "Get rid of Bark" phase you took a few 4 and 6 inch cuts. Them you could go back and get some 4x4 and 6 inch posts? bagging that cedar dust might be valuable too, sell it at the local potpurri store. Just a thought.
