- I’ve been dancing all around this log for about a year- finally time to open it up and see what I can get from it! Turns out it was well worth the effort.

You have come a long way in a year.
Wait till next year!
Very cool ,, love the simplicity ,, ( from Australia,, thanks ..., mate
Nice video Jeff. Dad has been at me to learn how to run his sawmill but I haven't slowed down enough yet to take a lesson! It looks like a great way to put in a morning that's for sure! Take care, Jason.
Not a very steep learning curve- you’ll catch on in cutting your first log.
That is nice system!
Real world milling without the hype ... appreciate your content!
Thanks for watching!
Great video sir! Nice work and equipment's you got there! Just subbed to your channel.
Thanks for stopping by to watch! Jeff
Good video.. I have gotten a few pointers from this.. Thanks .. and keep up the work.
Awesome setup you have going!
Glad you think so!
so enjoyed your film
Good timing, my first custom job customer this year is bringing me pine tomorrow
Pine makes nice lumber- but it’s messy- lots of pitch. Thanks for watching, Jeff
It's all good. Cheers.
Not boring at all. 👍🏻👍🏻
Not boring 'cause of interest. Cheers.
Been binge watching your channel , do u have a video or can u show some time your scale and process of going down the cant , how u allow for blade kerf ect in your cuts . I have the WM 130 and use to count turns and now have new scales so my last board is the same as my first ( or supposed to b ) thanks for sharing everything going on your place . You’re a blessed man . Thank you. Rob in Ont
Hi Rob! I’ll make a fresh video that explains how I get to the finished cant for sure! Stay tuned! Thanks for watching. Jeff
Just found your videos nice job building your mill, I’m going back on your videos to check out the mill build and other activities 👍
Much appreciate you stopping by!
Good Stuff, thanks for sharing
Great video! The microphone at the beginning of the video was great. I hope you wear it more and keep up the great commentary!
I’ll wear it when a machine isn’t running! 😂 hard on my ears to edit!
Good video
Thanks for the visit
❤ good work sir

Hello dear
Please let share ideas
How do you cut logs without girls in tight stretch pants? 🙂
It’s a struggle! 😂
Looks like you got some beautiful boards out of it?
Hi Jeff!!😀😀
Loved the video!!😀😀 I always watch the whole video. I just love watching you do what you do.
I'm considering retiring soon from logging. My body just can't take the pounding that I get from running the logging equipment anymore. I'm wanting to get me a firewood processor and a small sawmill just to make a few dollars on the side. I already have all the support equipment for both jobs.
Do you have any idea how much you have invested in your mill not counting your time??
I was surprised that you didn't keep those live edge planks and sold them to the woodworkers for over double what the 2 x 12 was worth with less work.
Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍

Hi Al! I can’t seem to find a market here for live edge lumber- I have a shed full of hardwood- beautiful maple, oak, ash, and some cherry. I need to figure out what to do with it. When I sold my shop, I wanted to do more outdoors- automotive work is hard as well on my body. I find this refreshingly easier. The support equipment is way more important than many folks think! I’m happy with the way my gear pays me back! Thanks again for your support- Blessings, Jeff.
@@thelogfather5002 have you tried to sell it on Facebook market place or craigslist and maybe even Ebay? I'm sure that there has to be a market somewhere for that beautiful live edge.
@@aldredske6197 to be honest- I’m afraid to advertise- I feel like I’m too busy now. I advertise for my firewood sales- and I’m already maxed at 150 cords for this year so I can’t take anymore orders- but that leaves some room for lumber. I get in the zone of making it- I don’t think about selling it. :)
Not boring BUT interesting TY
I have a JD 1025r and they are something else what they can do. I hope to upgrade someday. 👍😩
I like this one- not sure I really need to upgrade at all.
Good looking boards keep posting.
Thanks! I will for sure!
Any issues with cupping and such? I’ve seen a lot of videos that stress how important grain orientation is but following their techniques a 2x12 is extremely hard to come by. Any tips?
The key is to sticker and weight them when you take them off. They’ll stay straight that way. Try to never cross the pith, keep the same grain direction in the same piece of lumber- that’s my strategy for making straight lumber.
love your rig but like the hydraulic units
I’m definitely going to add hydraulics one day! Sooner rather than later I hope. Thanks for dropping by!
Jeff
I'm looking for this white pine veneer
What brand mill is that?
That is a homemade mill, loosely based on Linn Lumber’s mill. It’s been rock solid since day 1, thanks for watching!
Jeff
what peavey is that?
That is called a ‘Wood Chuck’ sold by Lee Valley Tools
@thelogfather5002 thanks man. That one's really nice and I'm going to pick up a mill today, so I'll likely be grabbing one of those!
nice. wheres your accent from?
Accent? That not an accent- that’s just how words are supposed to sound here in Nova Scotia
@@thelogfather5002 haha I thought south shore but didnt want to take a guess and be wrong!
@@Madigan101st Chester Basin! You’re right!
Nothing boring about watching a guy milling in my opinion anyhow. I started with an hm122 but can see upgrading to a Little Blue with trailer package or something down the road.
I think people buy these slow sawmills because there's more money in videos than cutting wood and one log with these rigs is enough to make one. It's like watching paint dry.
First of all, I didn’t buy this mill, I built it. And because I built it- I actually got to watch the paint dry when I painted it! I made infinitely more from the lumber off of the mill than the minuscule amount of ad revenue I’ll ever make in a lifetime of the video. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support! Jeff.
