    Hi Diego! Great videos. I just wanted to share a tip about covering lumber and firewood with tarps. Hope you don’t mind. The tip is to only cover the top, never the sides. If one covers the sides the air under the tarp becomes very humid and the wood will not dry and will eventually be ruined.

    Diego, I think you would benefit in your current method by getting a rip guide for your circ saw . Once you've made your first straight cut, you can put the rip guide against it and easily replicate measurements without having to try to snap your line and follow it again and again. I enjoy watching your videos, thank you for your hard work! Keep it up!

    Hello Diego, I would like to suggest for your Skil saw is to buy yourself a Guide rail I can highly recommend it really makes a positive difference in your cuts and once you have acquired one of these guide rails you will probably scratch your head and most likely say to yourself why didn’t I get one of these earlier?! Ha ha..
    All I can say is, do yourself a favor.☝️
    It’s really good to see you coming along so well. You know what they say you only get out of life what you put it.
    And you are a good example of that keep up the good work Diego. 🤙 aloha..👋😉
    P.S. Give Al a big hug and a firm handshake🤝from me the next time you see him he’s a good man as well as yourself.
    And also as you probably well know by now, experience is the best teacher.
    Sincerely
    Douglas Leslie

    To buy lumber at a lumber yard like the lumber that you are milling is very expensive. Years ago lumber was true 2 by 4 inches thick. The lumber you can but these days is garbage. Full of knots and crooked. I really like the way you are stacking it. You put dunnage down on each stack and lumber between each piece. That is the true way to do it. It is going to dry the way it is supposed to.

    You are rockin! You might really benefit from a worm drive skilsaw... I think check your blade too, it sounds not as sharp as you'd enjoy. I do a lot of milling like this and the 'big foot' skllsaw is the tool! Faster, lots of power and tons of control... you might like it, take a look and see. Love your channel and all you do!

    You should invest in an inexpensive table saw; once you cut a straight edge, you can then cut the 2 bys to width.

    Just wondering why you are cutting them bigger than "store bought" lumber, as a bought 2 x 4 is only 1.5 x 3.5 inches. It will be fine as long as you have enough for a whole project, the problem will be if you have to mix the two as they won't match. I enjoy watching you work 😊
