This is a man that knows what he’s doing. Wisdom is rarely caught on video.

When I was a kid one of the best summers I had was running a homemade sawmill with my ex gfs dad out in the woods. I had no clue someone my size could move such massive logs with a simple come along. The scenery, animals, and aroma of each type of wood left a long lasting memory which I hope to give to my niece and nephews someday. Excellent video

I saw lumber for a living. I press a foot lever to kick the log onto the carriage. I push a lever to run the log through the saw. I saw thousands of board feet a day. I sit in a chair, and drink coffee. Seeing this kind of old school work makes me happy.

Lots of "old school guys" with "old school scars". Chainsaw mills are pretty crazy dangerous.

The technique is so basic yet very ingenious. The interviewer asked the right questions for the unfamiliar yet didnt take away from the important aspects of the processes. This man has some very valuable expertise most undoubtedly handed down from generations.

This was the best wood cutting video I have seen on You Tube. I got into cutting trees on a ranch (dead hardwood trees) when I was about 60 years old, and found my greatest tranquility out there. Had I found out about cutting trees when I was much younger, I know I would have made it my life's work. You have a great life, and are quite a craftsman! Great job!

+TheRjjrjjr thank you!. Actually despite 8 years together, I learn something every time I watch David work and that was why I started filming him - good thing I did as many have enjoyed this video ..... of a man who basically just gets on with his life in the woods!

When I used to mill wood with my alaskan mill I always used a single section from a aluminum extension ladder and you can use long wood screws and plumbers tape with holes in it to secure the ladder section to the log and that makes a very nice stiff straight guide.

I love how relevant videos like these find themselves five short years later. Five years ago, this was a "hobby". Post pandemic/wild fires life has this being the way of life for a lot of people now.

Your videographer’s epiphanies were expressed so beautifully. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

Julie, the interviewer has probably been following him as he cut long before this particular job. She's just asking the questions to pull out the words from the sawyer who otherwise would just go about his work silently. Yep, she knew all the right questions to draw out this man's technique. I had the feeling they were acquainted with each other in some fashion. I would have liked to see who was behind that feminine voice.

I so enjoyed this video but for a different reason. I moved away from Montana 27 years ago. I was living an outdoor life and cutting my firewood (12-15 cords every fall) with a Husqvarna 65 saw with 26" bar. Watching this video brought back the wonderful sounds of a "Husky" firing up and cutting endless piles of wood to keep me warm during the winter. Thank you for letting me relive a special time in my life.

You inspired me to buy my own 60cc chainsaw and start milling my own lumber from the chestnut oak trees on our property. Props for inspiring me to do what seemed like the impossible several months ago. Although i will say, i wish i bought electric chainsaw grinding sharpener when i bought the saw, because i spend HOURS trying to learn how to sharpen right and never got it even with a file angle guide. As soon as i bought the sharpener my chain was factory sharp going into every slab cut.

I think she had an idea that some people in her audience would want to know certain things, so she asked about it. Maybe some of the questions she even already knew the answers. It is an interview technique. You guide the narrative for the benefit of the viewer. Anyway, there are not very many 30 minute how-to videos on youtube that are worth watching.

I have never seen that part of it. Nor the covering boards. I am so appreciative. Now I am glad I left that wood so long.

Hello from Turkey...... This is the best informative video I've ever seen. Thank you both.

Old school. this guy is the real deal steward of the land. nice job nice patch of woods you got.

Really nice and informative video and totally enjoyed it. Reminds me of a similar project I did (being a city boy) in a cabin I helped build in Maine. Made a 20ft cedar staircase (with 4 winders) using 5in wide stringers and 4in treads. The newel post was an amazing old old 18" or so wide cedar tree and hand mortising the joints for the winders. Just peeled the bark on the face of it and left it live. White wash stain and poly and looked fabulous. Somehow it ended up in a log home magazine not sure how. Anyways, wooden dowels and tenon joints and not a single screw or bolts used. Oh...almost forgot why I started this comment. My neighbor down the way had a 52" circular mill with a big ass diesel engine that ran the blade and it is how I cut my slabs for the project. The cedar came out of a cedar swamp that was on the property. Really proud of myself (me being a city boy and all) and amazed at how it was done a looong time ago.

Older video but first time I have seen it. Clever idea, I can try that.
