My faith in humanity has been restored somewhat by watching your skills in providing a necessary task

Given all the nonsense that is happening in the world, it is good to see a hard working man teach his son. With words and deeds, you are ensuring that there will be at least one man in the next generation who can do what needs to be done. It gives me hope in a world gone crazy. Keep up the good works and such nice lumber, too!

Your videos continue to set the standard for KZreadr's! I only have one suggestion...... Try to get those little yellow Tonka trucks to follow the saw mill along and collect the dust🤣🤣🤣

You get to shop The Backyard Lumber Store - the best store ever!! Those boards were beautiful that you cut from that tree - amazing. You are transforming your house into a showcase!! Great job!! ✨️💞✨️ Thanks for another great video, & God bless you and your family!! 🙏 ❤️👍

Nice to be able to mill what you want ! Good looking lumber !! God Bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

Straight up envious of your setup. Glad to still see guys still doing this stuff, plus we can live vicariously thru you. And all that chip and sawdust for the garden....

Lovely superb Nice sawing of pine timber.

Excellent use of renewable resources,my dream to have timbered acreage and a portable saw mill,nothing I couldn’t build with those resources! I envy you!

Another great update Wes - some nice boards out of that tree. Stay safe & well - Dave. 👍👍

Really appreciate the work you put into your videos.

Hello Wes, I really appreciate the quality of the video work. Love how you do a mix of projects. Thanks for sharing and teaching!

Good video. Love your channel. Thank you Wes. 👍

I love just watching the sawmill videos. I think it actually lowers my blood pressure and stress levels.

Hey Wes, great video! An easy field guide for the lumber you will acquire from a straight log…. Multiply by 7 . 12” log on small end 12x7= 84 put a decimal point at the end of that 84. Move it one number to the left. Total cant size 8.4 inches. Today you cut your lumber inch and a half thick or 1.5 . Divide 8.4. By 1.5 = 5.6 or 5 boards. The .6 for today’s equation would be3/4 of an inch left over( Not counting ) blade kerf, of 1/8” every cut of this 8.4” cant. Hope this is useful to someone.

Great job.. I like getting my own thru hard work.. Plus that tree was dead.. So effectively you salvaged some fiber..👍☺️

Now I no I’m not the only one using the Echo Timberwolf. Great job taking that tree down. My measurements come out wrong on the sawmill all the time. I don’t know how it happens either. I logged my 40 acre property with the Echo 590 and a 20 inch bar. It did just fine and I didn’t break the bank buying it.

When sawing the stump off, a trick that I have seen, but not tried, is to saw with the top of the bar instead of the bottom. Doing it that way will leave the chips in the cut and keep the stump from sitting down as you cut. Don't have to put the wedge in to hold the stump up.

Thank you for the wonderful content, I'm really excited that you can do all of this on your own and you use the resources from your land to build something beautiful. I grew up around my family members working in a woodshop particularly my grandfather as well as my uncle. I'm hoping to have a woodshop one day and really teach myself some things to make furniture but a lumberyard would be an absolute. I know a lot of people think that women can't do that but I think that it would be possible I just have to do more research and talk to some people.

Give that cut off stump a year to get a bit of rot then go out, crack it apart for the fat-lighter down near the tap root. Just don't do what a friend of mine did, and build a fire on top of such a stump. The fire chased the roots out and kicked off a bit of a wild fire. It got contained after about 12 acres were good and burned, what really saved the day we as the river was up so the fire couldn't jump the gap.

It’s so fun watching your son be in the middle of everything you’re doing. My kids do the same thing. If he hasn’t already started it won’t be long before he’ll be telling the folks in the camera to subscribe to the channel.

Love to see you do this from tree to stacked lumber. The fact that it was dead awhile - I take it you have some sort of meter which measures the moisture content of the wood - will you be able to use this lumber right away on your project or must it dry a certain amount of days before you can actually use it structurally? Thanks for the video content - your son is growing up so fast and is so fun to watch!

@falllineridge

I'm letting it dry for a little while. Probably no more than a month or so. I do have a meter, but probably won't bother with it on these. This is framing lumber, so it doesn't have to be perfect.

what type of wood is this? it looks like where I am not there

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

What did you do for drying? Air drying you’d have to wait a year or two to use those right? Or do you have a kiln?

Pine is ok for outside fires, but it will produce some black smoke from the pine sap (pitch). You would not want to use it indoors unless you feel like doing some regular cleaning.

I wish they did, I'd be cutting them to firewood all the time. Pine's not the greatest though.

Standard dimensions of a dry 2x8 are 1 1/2" by 7 1/4" so you cutting green lumber at 7 1/2 will be just right.

If you start with the wains on the bottom, perhaps you could have gotten 1 more?

Considering the price of lumber, if you have a source of logs, a sawmill can pay for itself pretty fast.

try taking only 3 sides off, then start taking your boards. Gives you a little play for you last board.

What do you do with all the sawdust that the machine makes?

Where you have a knot on one edge that you think is maybe ok, but don't love it, put it on the compression side of the beam (weight causes it to bend away from the knot). Knot causes substantially more loss of strength on the tension side of the beam.

That makes sense. Thanks for the tip.

The blue stain is a tell tale sign of pine beetle kill. Also, when you peeled the bark off you can see tracks of the beetle larvae just inside the bark. Unfortunately, it will kill all the pines in your stand at some point.

The GA Forestry commission was giving out a certain amount of money a few years ago for the purpose of having pines sprayed for beetles. I wish I had jumped on it, but I didn't. My guess is that it was just a temporary fix though.

I could probably put them up immediately, but just because I've got so much more stuff going on besides this, it'll probably be a month or sol Rule of thumb is one year per inch of thickness, but this is framing lumber so it's not all that critical.

You may need to brace the 16s or they will sag. Not sure what your load is.

The span is 14 currently, but I'm hoping to shorten that by at least a little, plus crowning the boards up will help.
