I’m so happy your channel has grown so much. You are an inspiration. I retired from the Army and moved to the Ozarks to live on my land, build a cabin and small ranch. You obviously followed your dream too!

Thanks for another great video.... enjoy your week further

👍 @ SMO & family! Yes, clean it and grease it the equipment and keep it going must be once, especially if it just fits the weather. Your outpost house / office is already beautiful to look at with the linseed oil! It will be a feast for the eyes, when that is done, I'm looking forward to it! For the opening you only need such adorable clothing as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, so that everyone knows who is the boss here! 😀

I like the extension on the front loader. Great idea to leave enough so later you could use those lifters is needed. Great videos love watching.

Good morning, SMO!! Looks like you had a perfect day at The Outpost... a little spring cleaning, some maintenance & chores, gathering of equipment, running siding boards on the mill and applying some oil to the bottoms of your posts AND the sun was shining!! I have to say that with every video I watch it seems like it would get harder and harder to go somewhere else at the end of the day; you have created such a great getaway for yourself, family and friends - big round of applause for that!! The oiled timbers will look awesome alongside the siding and I like your idea of the possibility of 'flash burning' areas on the siding boards to give additional visceral texture - it will look amazing when it's completed. Thanks again for sharing - looking forward to the next one!! Have another amazing day at The Outpost!! >> happy trails

I like the lap siding, that’s what we put on our house. Bought 2x6 treated from a sawmill and had them resawed. I used galvanized screw nails, #8 on top and #16 on bottom. Sounds big but the #16 was only about 1/8” dia with a small head, perfect for siding. Hope this helps, stay safe

Yes it would. It only lifts 1100 lb. I don’t think I’ll have anything that heavy anymore. But you are correct

Have you thought about rotating your mill 180 degrees around so you can push and offload from the same side? I noticed you having to walk all the way around the mill between cuts and that seems like a lot of miles. I’m not sure if you can manipulate the mill in that building, but if you can I’d rotate it to make single man work easier

It would create a problem on getting saw dust out. Walking is good exercise. It would also create more dust inside that ends up on everything.

@blakewilliams8280

@@SmokyMountainOutpost The saw mill that I run I hang a five gallon bucket off the end of the dust shoot to stop that problem in the first place and turn up the water feed to slightly more than just a drip so that the dust sticks more. Of course doesn’t collect All of the dust but does great for our purpose. We’ve started saving the dust from our hardwood millings and use them for mushroom cultivation. Being a production guy, I’m all about the efficiency and that’s why I saw your walking as an excess step. But, you are right. It’s nice to just slow down and walking never hurt anyone. Just thought I’d offer some advice. Hope you stay safe and well! I really enjoy the content!

Hi, I hope you will stay safe and we get to see the end product, god willing.

i would use larger square tubing and weld to the parts you cut off as smaller may cause problems with large loads be safe!!!! and as to carrying on back side of the bucket can scar your curl cylinders beware!! FYI

Smoky Mountain Outpost I grew up in a house with a well and cistern. We used the cistern for washing, bathing, and the well for drinking and cooking.

13:57 that's what she said!

I actually wasted precious time doing a virtual ride on the back of a tractor then watching people wash farm equipment. Now that's called being really freakin board.

Again and again and again: Safty first! There are many ways to loose an eye- or eyeside. Workglasses are a "must wear" not an "option". To work with an high pressure cleaner calls for wearing a protectionglass. The power of the water is like a bullet from a gun- the feedback of a smal thing like a corn of sand is strong enough to destroy an eye and if the corns ar bigger then the hurt is bigger or a person can get a cut in the face. If you or your beloved daughter "plays the work theater"- allway fun acting- it that a wrong message to the public. Make sure that you do it in a professionel way- and dont listen to thouse how are not professionel. This going public and YT is now more then privat its become buisiness. And if it becomes buisiness you must act like it.Some YTuber get hurt in the last month they thought that they are above to law of physic. Go to the internet and surge for information for building places like pictogram paper for the wall and nail it to the wall of your sawmill house! Thats law in Germany so that everyone read every moment what will keep them safe. Improve this topic in your apperiance bevore something happend. To develop a high quality canal includes this topic and its not only about "fun building" but also teaching lessons and be serious about "safty first". Stabile ladders, wearing good boots, wearing dust masks when working with wooddust, wearing glases. I worked 2 years with such a monster. For the cleaing of an office building with 5 towers and 30.000 sqeer meters space and big garage for 500 cars and a park around. The maschine (Kärcher) had cocking water (90c) and 500 Bar pressure. This was the strongest on the market annd belive me you coul shoot someone with this power. But I wored also with maschine with lesser power but I allways had to wear a glas but somtimes the corns the small stones jumped against this or that that it jumped agains my zygomatic bone from there against the inside of the glas (out of plastic) and THEN IN MY eye. I had that 2 times and after going to hospital I bought a helmet protection with a plastik protection to make sure that nothing can go in my eyes. The plastic was "done after working with the mashine in the spring" and I had to buy a new one. Belive me, you will not forget my words if something happends one day and then you are wearing shame and guild. Better wearing glasses then guild because of neglecting you dutys to thouse howm you love. On a building-workplace, I am the boss and I train everyone to do what is right even if this means some hours more work. Better safty then sorry. But beack to the work: 1: If dryed wood is dirty it must not be cleansed with water. Its enough to take a good plastik broom and make the dust away. Its not good to make wood wet. Also you can use a bigger can for the oil and a bigger brush roller and start from the top and not from below because oil runs down like water and you have a much better result if you start high. If the wood is dry as posible it will soak the oil like a hungy tiger. It can need days to dry the water from "the cleansingprocess". Not good and through that you blogg the water IN THE WOOD FIBER to come out. Your seal the water in the woodfiber and through that the fiber will expand for some days. So never watering buildingwood. Oil will seal the fiber and keep the rain awy. PS: Did you know that 30% of a tree- the wood is out of "Lignin" its a "waterloosing natural building material" that can be washed out by rain destroyd by to much humidity and special- beetn destroy by the sun! You can see that cabins that are not protected from the sun rain and so on chrinks and get dry like an old bread. This natural material in the wood "is gone" by the nature because it was not protected. We in Germany love to give outside wood a very fat wood glaze to protect the wood from UV of the sun. And we repead the proces of paining it from time to time. Some YTber thing they are styling-builders like Shawn James- allways looking for the old shabby chick style. Shabby chick will come some day if a cabin or woodlog house is build in the right way. To produce or build the "rustic style" is not a form of an architect or buildingstyle. Rustic can mean "buidling simple" and this can be a good solid quality. Some homes never reach the age of 10 years, because of wrong building. Others give shelter for 100 or 300 years. Wood must be treatet like the skin of a person. Greets from Hamburg
