A Great Choice for Rustic Wide Plank Flooring!
Great video! I really appreciate how you shared the challenges you faced with your dust collection system and the things you wish you had done differently. It's super helpful for anyone planning a setup.
Yeah, glad to share the knowledge.
I love jobbing, that said I never assume any monetary risks and do the sourcing of raw materials myself even if all or part of logs are customer provided. I charge 50% above all my sourcing costs and collect double this estimate as an up front deposit. So customer is always paying in advance for my time and the materials used in their job and I incur no out of pocket risks for lumber/log costs. Having a vacuum plate kiln I can control outcomes as lumber dried in this manner does not warp or check to any degree as all drying is from the ends as in nature and lumber dries fast and more evenly. Further deposits are collected when sawing commences and when drying starts and final milling. Final inspection and payment is made at my plant before any lumber is loaded elminating any returns and shipped in that manner my financial risks are essentially zero limited only to lost profits on final balances. If a customer ever defaults I am left with the product at no cost to my firm which has never happened and I have never lost a job over my terms. In fact only customers that want to save and have high end results that can afford the build and are appreciative of seeing all costs in advance before going forward so credit checks are never needed as I am always working using my customers funds.

I'm not worked up! This is what I've been waiting for!
The true meaning of universal is " does not fit anything properly "
Amen to that!
Have a great tree season Cory!
Thanks!
good video,
Thanks!
It’s fun having multiple businesses. I won’t hardly saw until February because we process deer until Valentineday most years.
Yes always pulled in multiple directions.
Good help is hard to find
How bout it!
Amazing planer, nothing nicer than Northfield 👍
Thanks!
Lmao 5th year, git back to me in 15 year. My got to 19 year doing nothing.
Where do you live? My last truck completely rusted out in 20. The salt brine in the northeast destroys vehicles.
@hillcustomlumber Michigan, in the Rust Belt.
Great content!! What thickness do you make your ceiling and wall paneling?
3/4” is standard but I can make it different thicknesses to order.
How did you get the 20' stuff straight after it was dry ? I know you said it finished at 9 1/2" and started out at 11" . It is too thick for your edger isn't it ?
It technically could have gone through the edger but I’m not set up for that long, it’d be a bear to handle. I took it to a buddy who has a planer outside with roller tables. We put it on his mill and straightened them first, used his makita portable beam planer to plane the edges, then planed the faces.
Great info
Thanks for watching!
I know you gave some rough information about the large oak beams but I'm interested to know more if you have time. What was the initial dimensions? How long did you air dry for? How long n the Klyn? What was the 4S4 dimensions? If you could I'm also interested in your time spent on each phase of them. 20' long beams are not the easiest to move around and I'm estimating the weight as around 300lb wet and 233 dry. If you think my weights are off what do you think. I'm just thinking that moving them was a challenge. Thanks in advance - Andy
Sawed 3”x11”, finished 2 3/4”x9.5”. 6 months air drying. 2 weeks in the kiln.i don’t know a weight but it was a workout for 2 guys to handle them dry. Green we used the forklift and slid them into place to stack them.
I just put my first batch of walnut in my new to me L200M and it’s high moisture. I have moisture seeping out around the door but nothing coming out the condensate hose. Is this normal?
It’s sounds like you have a blockage in your drip line somehow. Check from the tray under the coils to your hose. Compressed air should help
@ ok thanks. Seems my compressor isn’t running and I have some melted wires on the terminal block.😬
I myself run a small Mill and solar kiln operation. That being said I really look forward to your videos, you go through a lot of effort to explain all the details and little things most people don't understand about the process of producing quality materials. As always another great video, please keep it up thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hey, I agree. I bought one to take with me on the coach. 12R-22.5, 115 lbs. no trouble. It just takes about 20 minutes.
I keep it in my pickup, it’s been used more than I ever thought it would.
I’m in the early stages of building a kiln. I’ve purchased a Nyle L200S. My initial layout would allow for drying to 17’ long. For your drying needs, is that long enough? What’s the longest you’re able to dry?
I have no idea how much you intend to dry or what your needs are, but I wouldn’t have a kiln I couldn’t double stack at least to 8’ stacks end to end. That’s why I love my container kiln so much, I have 34’ to mix and match lengths and get multiple stacks in. I rarely deal with lumber over 16’ but occasionally do up to 20’. A good rule of thumb is to be able to dry as long as you can saw!
@ thanks, that’s very helpful! I can saw 20’ but just didn’t know if I’d need to be able to dry 20’ often enough. Thanks again!
The reason is it's density.
Yes I believe so.
Black locust is as hard as ironwood.
Absolutely hate seen and using one

Mine is the vacuum cleaner when I use it in my underwear. My balls get dusty so...
The only thing dangerous is the way you hold it. Don't hug it buddy. Hugging a potential boom boom can eliminate you.
i mean.... i have never used one of those tanks. but is it scarrier than ether and a lighter? because ive set like 20 beads with fire. cqn't imagine the proper tool being more dangerous
Spring compressors... but honestly, the thing that scares me every time has gotta be the trusty 2 ton bottle jack. From lifting trailer houses to pushing engine sleeves out those things are always a 2 ton catastrophe waiting to happen.
Just had the joy of a loaner tool spring compressor shit out the spring
Yes. I kinda feel that way about my 20 ton press. It’s a ton of force pent up waiting for the weakest link to unleash.

Do you have to keep the dried wood in an atmosphere controlled environment once it’s dried?
Yes. A sealed insulated building at least. Climate controlled is best.
That's something people don't thing about Trees too close to the house and then causes damage later and we don't think about the roof after 70 years where do you get the material if something goes wrong after a storm
That’s for sure
I love watching your videos! You are an inspiration
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them.
Another great video! Greetings from Cambria County.
Awesome…thanks!
Good job Cory
Thanks!
I love the way you did this video, kind of keeps things moving along fast for us watchers, well done 🙂
Glad you liked it!
Enjoyed the commentary. Are those logs you purchased a while back and videotaped?
No this is a different batch, I don’t think I ever videoed those being sawed.
I have a few questions if you don't mind. I've heard in the drying process that the sap wood drys at a much different rate than hardwood, which causes a lot of defects when trying, do you find this true. I also noticed a lot of stress on log, does that concern you when making boards. Last question, since you grade sawing, where you concerned about the minimum width of the boards?
They do dry differently but I haven’t noticed a big problem with it, probably because I air dry everything a few weeks which kind of equalizes it. There isn’t much you can do about stress other than continue to spin the log(don’t cut too far down one face) i shoot for 4”+ selling retail. Some buyers may have higher standards depending on who you sell to.
Nice job, great video
Thanks for watching!
In the pice you are showing at 11:35 - there seems to be lines in the boards - thats clera how to fix. But i also see tear-out. How did you fix this in the final boards? I keep having the same issue from time to time, and I can't seem to get rid of it-it really annoys me!
I went back and looked at those boards, there was no tear out…so maybe it just looked that way on camera. Cherry usually isn’t bad for tear out. Tear out is a problem on certain woods(Hickory/Maple come to mind). Unfortunately with straight knives in a moulder the best you can do is keep the knives as sharp as possible. After it happens your only option is sanding or defecting it out(depending on product). This why I no longer make hickory flooring.
What size sawdust extractor blower do you use for your sawmill? Is it 3 phase?
I have an 8” inlet/outlet blower for both the shop and sawmill. The shop is 3 phase, the sawmill is single phase. They’re both 5hp.
Is there any chance of seeing this when he completes his build? Love the rustic look as well. Those little imperfections that some don't like just add character, in my opinion. Thank you, Sir, for posting.
I’ll see what I can do. I try to respect my customers privacy but sometimes they’re gracious enough to let me film.
20 foot stuff is insane , wish you had photos of their planer set up .
Outside with roller tables, we also used a big makita handheld beam planer.
Show the hickory. I’m planning to lay hickory in the cabin I plan to build next year or the next.
Will do
Great video. Could you share a little about the economics of of a project like this. Does the customer end up paying more or less compared to buying the same materials from a standard source? How do you charge for this type of service? By the hour or by the foot?
I don't think there is a standard source for a lot of that stuff .
That sounds like a great topic for a video! Stay tuned for that one.
Loved the video! My brother and I run a sawmill and are looking into wheel loaders. Can you unload log trucks with this model? Looking for something that can handle 30ft+ logs and can lift them over the standards of an 18 wheeler. Thanks for the info!
It can but it’s a game of inches. I can lift a little over 12’. You’d definitely want a log grapple for stuff that long lifting high like that.
Hey! If you're price is good I'd like to take it off your hands
Sorry it’s gone
Great truck. I always enjoy your content and knowledge. I know you had a MP 260 and are very experienced in milling flooring, I have a lot of southern yellow pine and access to a LT 40, Kiln and a MP260. Do you think I could make some quality flooring and T and G lumber without an edger and planner to prep the wood before using the MP 260. If so, would it be smart to run the lumber through the MP 260 to get S4S and then set up the side cutter for T and G or flooring and run it through again? Last question, would you mill the lumber 1/8 or more bigger on all 4 side to allow for shrinkage and planning. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it can be done. Straight edge your dried blanks on the mill to get them to size, pre plane them on the moulder then t&g. Saw 1” for 3/4” thick flooring. As an example if I wanted 6” finished face width flooring I’d saw 7”. It’ll shrink to 6.75” drying. Then I’d rip to a 6.5” blank. The moulder will clean it up to 6”+ the .25” tongue.
Have you had any issues where you needed to contact Woodmizer customer support? Have they been responsive and helpful? Thanks...great video!
I had the last feed roll start to delaminate. They replaced it under warranty. It was simple and I had no problem with their service.
Awesome Man glad you are loving your new setup and happy with it. The setup looks very cool and that was a nice load of wood. Tell your Pop's i said Hi please for me. Have a good one Cory and always be safe.
Will do
