Mike, take one piece of the cedar to Adam at Hometown Acres and have him make you a sign for the building that says: Mike’s Playground Then put your log on it also. That would look great up on the wall near all your license plates. Go for it.
No Adam is a twink, he would charge him $500 for some board with writing on it
Got to love all the critics that probably never ran a sawmill tell you how to run yours. Just a heads up, one other youtuber I follow just destroyer the engine on his mill. I think he said it was a 35 hp. Kohler and a new motor was going to cost over five grand so take very good care of your motor. I'm thinking anyone that takes the time to blow off the saw dust and keep things clean is also giving the engine the same care. Great video.
Ahhh call it what it is. OCD.
That first cut off the ceadar is not trash, but a table top. What you think would be the bad side could be the top. Fill it with clear resin and it would make a unique table top, especialy for in a building like yous, or an outdoor table.
I saw it as trash.
Your suggestion is excellent!!
I was thinking the 6/4 would be good for table tops?
Ya guess resin would be interesting.👍
There's lots of cedar here in NC foothills. I had no idea there was a species of cedar that wasn't red or had that incredible cedar smell. Your log definitely looked like a regular cedar, but when opened up, it didn't look red enough. I will Google it also. Mom had a huge cedar chest/closet. Open the vertical doors, a nice rod to hang coats or clothes. There's a lid inside that lifts up to open the chest. It smelled wonderful. The most impressive thing I've seen you do w the excavator is taking down trees, stump and all, setting it aside and filling the hole like the tree was never there, from the comfort of the cab. That's just awesome. A great piece of equipment! I sat here watching you w snow blowing as my a/c was running. You're just a few states above me. My grass was cut Saturday. I hear a mower outside now. Enjoy the last cool days, summer heat is coming. Good stuff today, as always!! Thanks for sharing.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
I live in the Arkansas Ozarks and like you we have tons of Eastern Red here. We also have a species here that we call Glade cedar (not sure of the proper name) and has a brown heart like this one. It usually grows very knotty. The cedar mills won't buy it and will cull it on the yard when unloading a load of cedar logs. It doesn't have the cedar smell as this one don't. Also, it does not have the anti-rot properties of red cedar. Thats what he has here.
I live in north central Arkansas. I have 8 cedar logs in the yard now. Eastern red cedar is red, red, red with a white sapwood. The lumber will turn grey with sunlight. And the wood smells very nice. Ants love to live in the voids in the bigger trees. I am a bit allergic to the oils in the sap. Doesn’t bother me much unless I don’t have the dust collection on when I am sanding the furniture that I make. There are several sawmills around here that only cut red cedar. I have never seen a tree quite like the one you cut today. Yours looks to be in the cedar family.
It is dry. Cedar if not dry, will have a sticky juice. Real hard to get off hands ,clothes, etc. We try to burn these off every year here in the pastures of the flint hills in Kansas
Mike I am glad you got those logs off of the bank. It bothered me when the driver laid them in the dirt. Especially when you had laid out the runners for him. Kills a sawblade for sure.
We have tons of cedar trees here. Wonderful smell when cut. My dad built lots of cedar furniture and cedar chest, often called a hope chest. When I was in Jr High School I built a Cedar chest. My father in law was a Logger, sawmill operator, long haul 18 wheeler truck driver and finally a woodworker. He built lots and lots of cedar jewelry boxes.🌲💛
What ever happened to the CNC machine you got about the time the building was built?
Perfect timing for your video. I just finished breakfast and I’m sitting in my favorite chair. As soon as I turned on my iPad I see you have a video ready to enjoy. Life is good!
Here in Quebec, we have lots of eastern white cedar. It is an awesome wood, easy to mill, light to handle. It is very decay resistant. We use every parts of it. Big logs for milling, smaller for fence posts. You sometime will find hollow parts at the base of the tree. We still use that as it is the best kindling you could ever find. I have made many trail signs with thick boards, 2x6s and even those gnarly slabs with character. Around here 2x6 and 2x8 are often used for building decks and docks, especially as we are not allowed to use pressure treated wood for docks on waterways. Another great advantage of cedar is that unlike pine, there is no big rush to saw it as worms will not start burrowing, reducing the quality of the wood. It will not heat up and discolor like red and white pine if stacked too long in the heat. Cheers
We saw over 100,000 feet in Ontario and we peeled thousands of posts here
Good morning Mike how do you feel about putting the mill over by the fuel tank area so all the dust can blow down the hill and convert the pavilion into a building to store the sawed wood just a idea
I understand that like most trees, there are many types in a group, but the Easter Red Cedar is considered a noxious woody weed. This is the stuff they use for cedar closets, hope chest lining, and souvenir shop trinkets. I rip them out and burn them when found, and they literally spread like quackgrass.
I planted cedar 40 years ago and they are only 6 inches tall. The deer eat them.
@@realairplane261Where are you, RA? The ERC in western Ozarks is an invasive. I have enough deer that if I could teach them to eat the sprouts, that’d be a win-win. We must have a different species.
John, I am in northern wisconsin where snow depths are common at 3 feet in the winter. We have white cedar, red cedar and hemlock that deer eat what ever they can reach.
@@realairplane261 Yeah, your deer are a lot more hungry come late winter. We rarely had snow more than 6” deep when I was young, and it didn’t linger more than a week or so. The mixed hardwood saplings were still available most of the time.
Yes John we have a long winter. Usually the snow from November last until now and this year we had hardly a flake until the middle of March and now have more snow than all of winter. The deer like it, snowmobilers hate it. I on the other hand did not plow my 1/2 mile drive until last week when we had a foot. Snowing heavy today.
I live in Arkansas and we have red cedar everywhere. So much that it becomes a nuisance tree. I had to cut down a large cedar tree in my yard because it was dead. I plan on taking it to a local sawyer for some beautiful 5/4 boards.
Mike, good video, at the end, I wish you had another minute or two of filming, as I think we'd all like to see inside the shop and where this wood will start the drying process! How's the huntman, haven't seen or heard about him in a while, hope he's doing well and there's a Sheetz run in his near future, he must be hungry! All the best to the Morgan family! Thanks, Brian - Prosper, TX
🖐 Hello. My name is Josh from Minnesota. For my heatmaster stove Normally I'd go thru 8 cords of wood a winter season...this year not so. 5 cord so far. But Around here I buy Slab bundles to burn also if I'm running low on wood. The Slabs are all the peices when you start to cut on a mill. Not sure what you do with yours if you just throw them on a brush fire. But could be extra money if you saved them and bundled them. I don't know how many or if they are bundled by weight. But most bundles I pay $ 150.00-$ 200.00 per bundles. Just an idea...I wanted to say something. But perhaps you know already. Thanks. Enjoy the videos. Why isn't the wife in more of your videos. 😊
I get my bundles at a saw mill for 20 bucks a bundle . Hard wood . Love it burn great .

Your music today was wild. I thought I was in a commercial. All that showy machine operation and upbeat background music !! Excitiing!! Come buy our excavator!! Youi made a great sales pitch there Mike!! I even thought you might be showing off a bit, you were so good. You made that machine look pretty dang versatile, AND capable. "You da man" on that one. Great show! THAT'S how the excavator works with REAL intelligence at the controls versus "artificial" intelligence!! LOL I seriously enjoy watching a master work a machine like that. It is impressive! Makes me want to invest a grunch of hours experience and get that good myself. I thought the cedar looked pretty nice too. Wish it was more red but the grain was nice to me. Thanks Mike, thanks for another great show!! I appreciate all the work you put into making this a wonderful a presentation as it it. VERY professional and VERY entertaining. And the "armchair charlies and charlenes" with their mindless comments just irk the peewaddiedoo out of me. Have a blessed day to all the Morgans.
Good morning. That red cedar is pretty nice. Where I am located we don’t see much of that. Our area is primarily Eastern White Cedar. Looking at the diameter of that red one you have the White Cedar would never get that large without becoming hollow. Best white cedar sizes for lumber are in the 10 to 14 inch sizes. BTW, you may find that you need to turn up the lubricant when you are sawing any cedar. We find up here that most cedars have a Sandy grittiness and will dull your blades quicker than a pine or even hardwoods. Thanks for all you do.
I pealed the bark off several ERC and split them in half on my mill and made log stairs for my log home. It’s redder in color here in MO.
Pretty much all we saw here in central Missouri is red cedar. Usually red or purplish in color. One of the prettiest woods to work with, and it is in high demand here. I believe that is some sort of white cedar, still has a pretty grain.
Thanks for the explanation on the wood stops on the saw mill, I thought they were rams from a cylinder as well.☕️🦌
looks like white cedar to me saw lots of it build benches like the one you built siding on my barn its a common tree here lots 24 in and bigger in my woodlot amish saw it by the 18 wheeler load and ship it to pa. fence post and up
Hey Mike, I do Intarsia wood crafting and I use a lot of Western Red cedar. It is not plentiful around my neck of the woods but it is soft and works great for my Intarsia projects. There is a lot of sanding and shaping with Intarsia. which is why we use cedar. This cedar looks a little different for sure. Take Care
We have a lot of cedar here in NC. You can build a hope chest of cedar, or line your closet with it. Bugs; mothes especially, don't like the wood or scent. It's very aromatic and is somewhat rot resistant. Love that stuff!
There is a White Cedar, but that definitely looked like an Eastern Red Cedar on the outside. They are usually much redder on the inside. The red cedar is also very aromatic, used for cedar chests and closets.
Could it be hemlock?
@@russellsmith3825 No, Hemlock is darker bark and it's bark is not stringy.
Your buddy Nathan milled a lot of red cedar not long ago, it was noticeably redder than that. All I have here for cedar is Eastern (or Northern) White Cedar. It looks much like what you have, and does have reddish streaks, but not nearly as dramatic as Red Cedar. Have a look back through Nathan's stuff if you haven't already, it's quite distinct from White Cedar.
White Cedar is aromatic to a degree. I built a dugout blind a year ago, about 2/3 underground, from dead standing cedar milled 2 sides to 4 to 6 inch ties, and it has to be the nicest smelling deer blind I've ever made.
Thanks for the content, it's always good.
Here in central Missouri, red cedar is as thick as hair on a dog. Although the white sap wood varies from log to log, I've never encountered a cedar looking like the log you sawed. Was the tree harvested locally? I like sawing cedar and unlike oak, it doesn't shrink much as it dries.
Its a brown glade cedar.
Our Pacific Western Red Cedar is used mainly for decking and fencing. It lasts a long time. It is abundant out here.
Definitely dont want to hit shed, but I wouldn't want to place a heavy oak log up there and something fail and drop it down onto the mill. The mill is safe the way it is.
Those boards would make some nice table or bar tops.
Cedar is big money up here in Maine. I've seen 6x6 and 8x8 posts sell for well over $600 (for ONE post) 😮.
Where I'm building my a-frame, the land use planning commission will only let you cut down a certain # of cedars on your lot or you'll get fined!
I love the smell of cedar when cutting it though, and it makes for excellent camp fire wood. Good stuff!!
Now Mike.....that middle piece of lumber is 3/16" off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Thuja occidentalis, also known as northern white-cedar,[1] eastern white-cedar,[2] or arborvitae,[2][3] is an evergreen coniferous tree, in the cypress family Cupressaceae, which is native to eastern Canada and much of the north-central and northeastern United States.[3][4] It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. It is not to be confused with Juniperus virginiana (eastern red cedar).
Good morning Mike, this was a refreshing video of you cutting up that cedar log. Too bad it’s not one of the regular aromatic cedars that you could use to line a closet or a cedar chest for your daughters or granddaughter later on. Still it made some real pretty lumber.
Mike here in Northern Maine cedar is used for firewood to start fires. My uncle owned a cedar mill for over 30 years I worked for him for 15 years 7 of those years full time. We made fencing & squares for log cabins out of it plus had a dyr kiln. We sawed anything from 1x3 boards all the way up to 10x10 squares! Rotary mill and used a band saw to resaw the slabs into boards! Yes there is white cedar! We stickered just like ya do your other lumber. Love your guys videos. Have An Awesome Day. Oh love the colt ya got 🙂;]
Hey see if you can shove your maine governor into a woodchipper he's trying to ban president Trump from being on the main ballot in November. He doesn't need be able to do that and I know there's a woodchipper sitting hungry somewhere up there 😂😂😂.
We Just cut some red cedar on the sawmill yesterday . Here in western North Carolina they are everywhere but it’s hard to find them that are very big although I have a few 16 inch wide boards we cut last year from a huge log.
Love that cedar log! One thing you have done for me Mike is to enhance my love for different types of wood. I have always loved wood, but you have helped increase that by pointing out all the different things of each type of wood. Thank you!
Mike when I lived in Vermont about 15 years ago I built a garage out of rough cut pine and hemlock. At best it was air dried. Most was wet and heavy. I never had a single issue with it. “You should “ (lol) sell framing lumber too
I live in iowa and red cedars do grow everywhere around here. Any ground that isnt tilled, or mowed has cedars on it. I have 12 voulenteers growing in my front yard. 8m getting a wood mizer in 2 months and I have a good supply of cedar to mill.
In Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦 we have eastern white cedar used for 2nd clear wood shingles remember it is very oily but great for outside projects that is a great pice 👍👋🇨🇦
Hello Mike. If I may suggest, consider cutting around the pith on all logs because the boards cut through the pith will split. The next time you cut cedar, cut 11/16 in. or 5/8 in. boards so they can be dressed at 1/2 inch. Cedar is typically used as a liner in a cedar chest or as wall boards in a cedar closet. Only a suggestion. Love the videos. Keep up the great work!
I always do that with the hardwoods, now the red pine I saw right through it though. Seems to make good siding boards and haven’t had an issue. This cedar I wasn’t sure
@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans If you have a system that is working for you, stick with it. I'll have to pay closer attention when you get back to sawing hardwood. Thank you for your reply. By the way, Melissa did a great job with the Colt Python!
Eastern red cedar is a wonderful species. Pioneers used them for roof boards and shingles because of the rot resistance. Used them for fences for the same reason. Used them in closet linings and trunks because vermin avoided the wood because of the taste and smell. Modern Eastern red cedar are small and people call them weeds, but they are a tree that can live a thousand years or more and can get huge given enough time.
Mike hook up to your trailer and come on down to L,A, or for most people lower Alabama and we will put you a load of red cedar and red ball cypress and maybe a juniper I have a lot of them God Bless Y'all and have a great day
You can make some beautiful counter tops with that Red Cedar and tables! Beautiful wood
Mike I can not says for 100% sure but that cedar you got I don't think is a red cedar it looks more like white cedar and from where I am from in province of Quebec we use the white cedar for fence pole that is how common it is . Here in Florida we have red cedar some people even call it purple hearth cedar but when you cut it we got a little sap wood on the outside edges and the rest of the tree is ether red or purplelish color and does smell real strong of cedar smell well have a great day and don't take only my word for the type of cedar but I did experience the 2 different type
Up here in Vermont we've got lots of white cedar. It typically grows in the swamps but my farm has a lot growing on the hillsides. Its way better than pine for building log cabins.
In my area, eastern red cedar is a weed. Give it a few years and it will choke out all the hardwoods. I use them for posts and anything else that makes ground contact, because they don’t rot. Well, at least not for a long time. When you cut into red cedar, each one can look very different. Pretty sure you just cut into one that had more sapwood than heartwood.
We live in the Texas Hill Country. What most of us call (and cuss) "cedar" trees are really Juniper, and I believe technically it's "Ashe Juniper". Whatever it is, I hate it. November thru March is "cedar fever" season and it hits some of us really hard. It is beautiful wood and there is a thriving industry for folks making furniture and fireplace mantles out of cedar and mesquite trees. The "cedar" limbs make excellent fence posts that seem live forever.
A good friend of mine from Northern NY has been recently cutting ALOT of cedar trees. He had at least 30 the other day. We have a few here in Western NY, but not to many.
Cedar can be made into beautiful furniture. I have a 100 % solid cedar chest 60 inches long x 30 inches wide from my grandparents. Over 100 years old. Original price tag $14.85 still on it inside. You know it's old. Great stuff when done right.
We have lots of eastern White Cedar up here in Canada mainly in Québec and Ontario. It's the type of wood that mainly grows in Swampy areas and is usually a great indicator of shallow water tables usually. It's very light and can ding very easily, some people use it to build outdoor stuff with it. The main draw about it is that most logs usually gets hollow in the middle with rot.
Food for thought! Move firewood op to the clearing and build up your sawmill op in the woodyard.
Back in the 60s I built a cedar chest and all of the wood was red. Except for a 4x4 I cut and rolled for the front. Could not find a red one? Believe it or not I still have a 4x4 left from the 60s.
Too bad you don't have a planer to run some of the wood through.
Very dramatic music for cutting firewood, good choice!
We have those cedar trees everywhere in Arkansas, bet we have 30 over 20 inches dia. on our property. Now the White Oak, hurts my feelings a little to see it in firewood for sure.
Thanks for the video.
We have tons of Eastern red cedar, I milled a few 10x10s to dry and be cut down later when I have projects that definitely doesn’t look like the ERC I’m used to. The center of our ERC is as purple as can be.
Here in Wisconsin we call them white cedar. And yes, I almost cry when I see you cutting cherry into firewood! Lol
Morning Mike and Friends.... sunny today, might snow tomorrow... always enjoy your videos....
Pete 🇨🇦
Hi Pete!
Good Tuesday morning Morgan family! Rainy and dreary here in SE PA, but they say April showers bring May flowers. Bring on the dry, hot summer weather! Have a great day!
Maybe Biden will slip and fall on his head????
Good morning!
Morning, trade you, might snow here tomorrow 😀
@@peteatthefarm4459 thanks for the offer, but I’ll pass! Still have the blooms on our fruit trees, don’t want a repeat of last year.
Was curious if it's possible to saw two red pine logs at the same time side by side, this would increase your output by almost X2. Unsure if they would fit but I just figured I would ask, have a good one.
What we call red cedar here in MS is very red / purple inside. The colors will dull a little after it dries some. But very strong colors and smells very good when you cut into it. That looks totally different.
Split the fire wood in a tote so you can set it in the wood shed to stack it . Then you won't have to pick it up off the ground or carry it to the back of the wood shed
That cedar would make a wonderful picnic table and benches
Hi mike, quick question. After you saw your lumber would you need to pressure treat it if you wanted to build/use the wood outside? Thinking about getting a saw mill. Thank you
Just the posts, anything with ground contact only
Thank you.
Thanks for the reminder. I can't think of any other channel that this happens on. Yes I was un-subscribed this morning.
I have to wonder as I watch
Why, when you see rot and decay on one side of the cedar log,
You don't turn the log to cut the more healthy wood?
I believe there are both Eastern white cedars and Eastern Red Cedars but the but they are not in the same family of trees. In Missouri were we have a lot of red cedar people say cedars are more beneficial to wildlife when the are horizontal than vertical (cut down vs growing).
I wonder if that’s what we call yellow cedar. We have arbutus in BC too which is a very hard wood but grows slow and like a corkscrew and is one of the hottest burning woods
I counted 110 boards in that stack you moved at the end of the video. This is just an estimate, because I counted 22 rows of 5 boards (avg) per row. 22 x 5 = 110
Wow! What a fantastic load of wood, Mike. Those boards will make some beautiful stuff on the Morgan Estate! High fives!
~ Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis)
Mike, awesome explanation on how the WM70 log stops work. Our TK1400 has manual log stops to work with.
That's a beautiful stack of lumber, won't find that at Lowe's.
I would agree that this isn't like the beet red, and very aromatic ERC that I have on my farm in KY. Plus I've never seen wide growth rings like that on slow-growing ERC. Has anyone ever sawed larch before? Wondering what the heartwood looks like.
Good afternoon from Upstate South Carolina. Too bad you don't still have that REX log splitter with the conveyer. Lots of great stuff. Have another productive day. I'm still subscribed. I guess I haven't upset anyone at RUclips yet.
Love the Timelapse milling!!!
North Idaho has lots of cedar, pine, fir, not so much oak and cherry. That's a pretty unique cedar, lots of possibilities for that one!!
Speaking of not fully appreciating what we have. I just read a quote that I saved and hopefully I will remember.: The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything they have.
I'll add something, the SAWDUST from , the mill is there a way to collect it in bags? one could make brickets out of it if added glue and compress it (just an idea or bag up and sell or give away to the horsey people? or use in chicken runs ,just wondered whats done with it .😃
I saw a PTO-driven pelletizer online once at just under $3k. I bet it would love sawdust, and not need glue - the compression takes care of that.
I have it everywhere and it is aromatic. I made the ceiling in my office and bathroom out of Eastern Red Cedar. Plus a bar top for the shop and patio.
There is an Eastern White cedar, but commonly called arborvitae. Hard to tell what you have unless I could see the leaves. Pretty sure you have some arborvitae between your pole barn and your house by the driveway there. Red cedar is very aromatic.
Mike, are you sure the log you have is cedar? The log and lumber look more like cypress to me. There is a Northern White Cedar, but its wood is similar to balsa wood in appearance and workability.
Mike-
Hard to tell from sitting here, but I beleive that you mentioned that the Cedar did not smell like Cedar. Could it possibly have been Bald Cypress? I grow them and the outside looks very similar, but I have never seen one sawn before.
That wood does have the look of a Cypress of some variety
There is good money in live edge slabs. Once the Kiln is in, you can make great money on slabs and cookies. In NC, Eastern White Cedar is known as Juniper. Many a custom sportfishing boat has been built with Juniper - plank on frame and cold molded. Rot resistant and strong for the weight.
Good morning! From my experience here in Minnesota that does not look like eastern red cedar to me. As soon as you cut red cedar you get the aromatic smell, I have cut many of them out of pastures and fence rows. Whatever it is i looks pretty cool and i have never seen anything like it.
Hear in Ontairo south we call that white cedar red never gets that big. Enjoy your videos keep em coming.
looks like winter arrived late ... looks like you need a loooooooonger hose for the pump tank ... the tank might have been useful under the shelter .. but burn / fire risk .. so mannny choices ... :) thanks for the vid/entertainment
Excellent video -- QUESTION -- Mike, could you stack a full cord of firewood into your new F350 bed so we can get a look at how your long bed hold that load with the F350 springs? I bet you have better things to do, but if you care to revisit the old debate of "can you stack a proper cord of firewood into a pickup truck" debate, we would all appreciate watching it... It would get lots of views.
As a rule, I normally don't like destroying things. You don't either. That said, you bought it. Run it like you stole it. Why do people question you? You always take care of your equipment. Have a blessed day.
Good morning y'all from beautiful British Columbia ! Enjoy the day !!!
That lumber doesn't look quite like the Eastern Red Cedar I'm used to seeing. Red Cedar should be very red and very aromatic. Could it be Dawn Redwood, a fast growing ornamental?
The cedar down south is a weed. The cedar in the UP of Michigan makes beautiful. lumber and paneling.
Don't think it is red cedar. You neighbor cliff could have smelt it when you were cutting. We have a lot here in Alabama. My dad was a logger back in my teen years. Hated it in the summer when they were clearing land. Usually just cut loggs in winter farmed in the summer.
I'd kind of like to see a piece of that cedar next to the red pine. They seem pretty similar, nice stuff!
I thought that looked like a cedar when you dug it put of the pile. We have Eastern red cedar thick here in the Ozarks, but Eastern red cedar has a very red heart wood and the heart doesn't look red in the video....Western red cedar has heart wood that's a creamy brown with a slight reddish tint, and that is what the wood in the video is looking like on my screen. They're both very aromatic when fresh cut, but very different scents.
Now THAT is a stack of wood!
And Im guessing part of why the log turner is angled is to slightly lift the log away from the stops as it turns.. That cedar would be a beautiful gun stock..
Northern Minnesota has white cedar, used for siding, T&G, decks, nice stuff but becoming hard to get because of over harvest.
The best i can tell, it doesn't look like red cedar. I think there is a white cedar or maybe it could be cypress. Just a guess. I enjoy the channel Mike.
Nice cedar log for sure would make a good sign or table top, even a bench.
Your commenter might have been talking about the log clamp.
Not the stops.
I don’t think that is eastern red cedar, not red enough. Possibly bald cypress, trunk/bark looks similar and both part of the juniper family. Eastern red cedar has a very distinct smell, once you sniff it once, you’ll always know when you’re working with it.
Also, I recently got an LT50 and continuously watch your videos to learn the little things.
Thanks for sharing this video. Ref: your "Log-Stop's." I also thought they were Hydraulic Cylinders. The fact their not Hydraulic Cylinders, would lead me to believe they are in fact "TOOL-STEEL," of some type. Which would mean, your not playing with logs big enough to even contemplate bending them. (Tool-Steels: 1045 /Hardox steel / In addition to A2, D2 and O1, tool steels come in many other grades including H13, S7 and W1.)
Hello Hunter hope your having a great day. Tell your dad it's time to go to sheets and get some lunch or dinner.
Hi Mike. Great video. Beautiful cedar. It can be white cedar. You'll know how red. The red cedar would be. I used do red cedar shingles for new siding on my grandmother's house. Much redder in that cedar's color. She & her youngest sister did vinyl siding in the next 5 yrs. Have a good Tuesday night. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good to go Mike say hello to the Hunt man for us here in Knoxville, TN.
Just curious Mike....When you make and use "stickers", do they have to be of the same type of wood as the lumber that you're stacking to avoid sticker stain?
