  • Logs to Lumber: Saving Money on Wood Cutting Our Own Boards!
    Going to start on another house project soon and lumber is through the roof expensive right now, so we’re cutting our own on the sawmill! Cutting 1xs for siding or whatever we need!

    Hey Jeff, I hate to say it, but you are living the life I wish I could have. I love working with wood, hunting, fishing and spending time with my children. I had a bad back injury in my mid 30's which the first surgeon made worst then repairing. I can't do much anymore because of the doctor. My new surgeon wants to do 2 surgeries, to what he says, is a 50/50 chance to fix it. I'm not taking the chance. Love your video's, like the home refurbished, noodling for catfish, hunting hogs and your cooking, smoking and bbq. Keep the video's coming.

    20 years ago, we built my mom a house on San Juan Island WA. We hired a guy with a mobile rig and we TOTALLY sided her house, her pump shed, and trimmed all the windows with the trees we had to take down ANYWAYS, to clear the footprint of the house... Great Video!.

      Saved her a ton of money, even back in 2003, plus its nice to use the trees you kill to put value and purpose back onto the same place you cut the trees down...

  • @gregallen3980
    @gregallen3980 3 года назад

    I will give you a tip for sticking your lumber. Put your sticks about 2 inches from the end of the board on each end. Have you noticed that the board will ( check) as it dries? But the checking stops at the stick? Buy moving the stick closer to the end you have less checking and you don’t loose as much lumber.

    You would have had to wait about... eh... 18 hours as I live in Wisconsin. It's a long commute... and I would need a nap when I get there. ;-D
    I love working with a mill.
    There is some satisfaction to me seeing all those boards when done stackin.
    It's serious work shifting logs and lumber, but satisfying when all goes well. Goes faster with help too. Especially the stackin!
    Be safe, be well, and keep on keepin on. Appreciate all you do.

    Looks like ponderosa pine logs. My dad has a portable woodmiser. 1 of his friends was moving & didn't want to deal with taking it with them so my dad bought it. It survived a forest fire when my dad's friend had it. Well all the plastic & tires had to be replaced but the rest of it was fine after the fire. O & no my dad's friend didn't start the fire. Some stupid drunks started it cause they left a campfire burning with no one watching it .

    Sawmills are an excellent investment and invention indeed. Nothing better than cutting down trees and putting the log on the sawmill. Then turning the motor on after putting the blade on the level you want on how large and how deep to cut. It slices through and you suddenly have free lumber lol

  • @kurtsmith4657
    @kurtsmith4657 2 года назад

    That's second growth SYP, alot of it was planted at the turn of the 19th century when the original old growth was cleared. Personally, I don't like cutting SYP on the band mill, much prefer a circle mill for dimensional lumber. Your mill is cutting well, nice wide boards.

    That's some might fine looking timber right there! Not many make conventional siding boards anymore. I can't find them anywhere. My house has old redwood traditional lap siding that is over 46 years old and some of the boards are badly weathered/sun damaged and need replacing. I can't find anything redwood period or any conventional/traditional lap siding at all that I can replace the few bad pieces that I have. Jeff, I hope that you are making out well selling your lumber while these prices are so high right now. I like seeing good hard working people like you making the profits instead of big soulless corporations.
