Awesome! my guy.

I run the wires to my truck batterys. I dont shut the truck off while Im using the winch. Never let me down .
Howdy, I really want to become a Sawyer, run my own mill. i’m already skilled at felling, have done woodwork for two decades. I just love trees, and what can be done with them. Thanks for posting this information. i’ll be studiously engaged in your videos. My problem is raising the capital for machines to get going. So far, i’ve just felled trees and hand split/sawn lumber. (yes, i really did because it was all i had). i built my scandinavian woodworking bench this way. it turned out spectacular! Keep teaching me and i’ll keep learning. thank ya’!
Y so thick 3inch - 2-5/8 !? 2 inch no good???
Not a wasteful dude. God bless!
Remarkable! This video taught me so much about sawmilling. It's fascinating to watch how you manage these giant pieces of wood. The video quality is top-notch. I'm eagerly anticipating more content from you. Keep producing such great content!
very clear.
A echo 4910 is great deal. It's 3.5hp as well. Look at the weight. A sharp chain. Muffler mod and remove the carb limiters and you have a heck of a saw for the money. It out cuts my stihl ms311 by a mile. The 590 is a similar kind of deal.
Would like to see more detail on your gantry setup for chainsaw milling. Have smaller Granberg "Alaskan" and had thoughts of doing something similar. Like the way your design looks better than what I thought up.
Thank you
Great explanation! Thanks for the time and much energy you gave to us!!!
The Most Awesome Explanation-Demonstration About Quarter Sawing Lumber !!!!
Great video. Easy to understand. Much more efficient cutting style.
Excellent video and you are a really good teacher! I live in NY State and getting wood can be very difficult and having the tools you have is expensive, but this give me a lot to think about. Thanks.
I have enjoyed both part 1 and 2 of your videos. Hopefully I will retain the knowledge I have gained about many things and look forward to other videos. New to saw milling with my homemade band saw sawmill mostly on yellow pine (in Ga) from a tornado 2023. Great information here for those of us who want to know.
Fantastic! This video was an eye-opener about sawmilling. It's astonishing to watch the skillful processing of these large logs. This video is exceptionally clear and well-produced. I can't wait for your next upload. Keep producing such fantastic content!
Wealth of information. Thank you very much for this Video. I would have never thought of half the things you mentioned.
Do you have an email address that i could contact you? I would like to talk to you. Lost a huge red oak tree from Beryl. I hated losing this tree it was the best one in the yard. When i was 13, my grandfather taught me and my cousin how to frame. We built a garage/shop for my grandfather's boat. Shop was built probably 1978. My grandfather was from East Texas. The shop was built with conventional framing with the diagonal brace for the walls. When the tree fell both side of the galvanized tin roof took a direct hit. I was very surprised at how well the building survived. The roof is going to have to come off to repair the building. I have a couple joists that will need to be replaced along with rafters. Both sides of the galvanized tin had holes punched into it. I was able to patch it because we had extra galvanized sheets stored along with a coffee can full of galvanized roofing nails. I'm thinking about having the red oak milled. The tree is approximately 93.5 inches (used a tape measure) around or 29.77 inches in diameter. The tree splits off into 2 trunks at 20 ft. It's about 43 inches wide (rough estimate) where the trunk splits into 2 separate trunks.
Great videos. Looking to learn sawmill work, I’ve watched numerous videos but none as informative as yours. I’ve subscribed to the channel, looking forward to seeing more, and have referred your videos to others. Thanks for making the time to share your experience.
Absolutely loved it.. thanx again
Wow I have learned so much h from you thankyou so very much for ur time and efforts! Ur awesome
Ur awesome, thankyou very much!
Thank you sir for your time, and for sharing your very helpful information. Much appreciated. Liked, and subscribed. Least I could do to pay for your service.
George, thank you for taking the time to educate the sawyer community.
looks like a bunch of markers didn't really learn much
I like to use a compass rather than a template then I get less waste, and a centre. Also, you could only get a log to my workshop with a helicopter !! I can cut a days work on the lathe in an hour, the old way, I don't want or need too much green timber in front of me. I tend to use whichever screw chuck is nearest ! I like long videos thanks ! Sycamore ( Acer Pseudoplatanus) is what was used in UK and Ireland for timber for the dairy industry for many years, it is very good kitchen bowl wood. Horse chestnut is also good. I could turn a Huge bowl, but who's got a house big enough to take one !
It all depends on what timber you want to achieve, the best, broadest boards, with the best figure are achieved by "Radial Sawing" which is without a doubt the most wasteful, most time consuming,way to break down a log. You pay for what you want. Quarter sawing is really intended to produce the strongest, most stable timber. not the prettiest. As the sawyer here says if the grain does not go through the board at 90° near as dammit, it is not quarter sawn, ( I think that if you let it drift as far as 45° it's got a bit doubtful !
Thank you George for incredible instructional! Here on RUclips some of the most successful channels create 2-3 hour videos on certain subject matters. I grew up here in Texas, learning and assisting Craftsmen (Metal, Wood, Fabrics, Textiles) and Crafts Women who ranched, farmed, and designed and built thier own everything. I am returning to the land, and have wanted to work again with wood. Your videos are so interesting - I am sure you would have an audience for even longer videos. Would you please consider showing how you create the end products? Thank you again. 🤠
This was a great help I am definitely doing this next time I quarter saw ...Thank You!!
Great video, learned a lot. What wench brands would you recommend that hold up well? Thanks Steve Johnson
You are a genius!!
how about pine tar to seal with ?
is that any conifer that you would not seal? Fir, spruce; I live in Montana. I am not sure if we have any oaks, . We have black Cotton Wood and Birch willows , I suppose I can look that up.
How would you cut 1/4 sawn wood for instruments. Flame maple, quilt maple, mahogany, basswood, alder. We need enough to make guitar bodies that can be book matched. 1 piece quarter sawn wood is really difficult to come by. Some time we need to put 3 pieces of wood together to make a body. Cedar and spruce 1/4 sawn for book matched acoustics is needed. We need wood that is the straightest wood esp before runout. Also the wood that you would throw away isn't there a market where someone could purchase the pieces in balk for wood turning it craft wood?
Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom!
Very educational, I learned a lot watching your video. I am a woodworker and occasionally I get the opportunity to buy some band sawn lumber. This will help with my understanding. Thank you sir!
You also want your negative off battery on one end and positive off battery on other end of parallel system. That way it will use all batteries the same
Best explanation/demonstration I have seen of the quarter sawn concept
Thanks for all your videos good stuff.
I gave up trying to list how many things this guy gets wrong, in his explanations, terminology, etc.
Thanks for all the practical suggestions. Lean from the people who do start to finish. Unless I missed it any info on the blade type, we gave many hardwood species? Regards Steve
It’s a great process George love to see this start to finish.I’m new to turning but used to work in the forestry here in Britain.
George, I have a 14” bandsaw that has worked well for furniture-making but is not adequate as I have gotten into bowl turning. How do like your Grizzly? Any suggestions on 2-3 hp bandsaws?
George I really do enjoy your videos. Am curious as to how you deal with the metal. If you have time to share I would greatly appreciate your wisdom. Thanks
Thanks for this great video!!!
