Em and Jade, you answered every question that I had! I am a fan of wood products and LCLY turns out beautiful work. You young ladies are well schooled, your vocabulary, your ability to communicate, your level of intelligence and proficiency is evident! “Family” is so important. I’m proud of all of you!
There can’t be many mills or people left in this country that cuts lap siding ,,and it makes the most beautiful homes I have ever seen in my 67 years ,,primed and painted snow white , small two story homes , with wood cook stoves and fireplaces once dotted the North Carolina western mountains and in each one there was a real family, full of love for one another and there neighbors. Many of these homes here were made from American chestnut, some of it wormy , some not ,,watching the beautiful young lady Jade cut those cants in to lap siding takes me back to better times in life where hardships were all we knew ,,and love was the only answer.
I sided a shed with 1" pine that we cut and milled on our property 2 years ago. I let it dry for a year before installing vertically and then rolled on RS Ready Seal stain. It turned out great and I would recommend RS because it is oil based, soaks into the wood and doesn't create a coating like some other types of stains.
Great video. Emerald, you’re so used to talking that you overpower Jade when she’s pausing Bro collect her thoughts. She might be your younger sister, but she is a very hard, intelligent, and capable worker on her own. You two always make an excellent team working together, so let her be the “boss” a few days per week so that she knows that she can. Of course, your folks will have the say about it, but if you bring it up, they might see the benefit of it.
Wow that looks soo labor intensive , excellent job there Jade. You have way more patience than I ever will have! Also thanks Emerald for the explanation of how this is done. Nice to see the sun shining today.

The way you say "Lumbar Capital Log Yard" in the beginning of your videos is so pleasing. It's your accent when you say "logyaaard" that makes it great. lol
Hey guys😊. I recently purchased a LT15 wide with the lap siding attachment. I ran into a similar issue while lap siding. My solution was to stack the 4x6 on top of another 6x6. While you are traveling forward have your help hold the 4x6 and trail you. If you’re working alone like I always am sandwich the 4x6 in between 2 6x6 for support and clamp the 6x6 on the bottom. Or just saw up some 2x or 1x. Hope that helps.
Beautiful work... Would it be possible to attach the drop (bottom 2" piece) to the next 6' sq piece with some wooden dowels at the ends to get 100% yeild?
@@michaelmaker8169 35% HIGHER YEILD..35% LESS material to load and position.. 4 to 6 taper cut slices are worth a whole lot more than one 2 x 6 and they are matching stock.. Everybody has their own opinion and expertise on what is more beneficial..
I’ve been sawing with a Timberharvester for 35 years and will occasionally be asked to make siding. I made a tapered jig that holds 1” boards which I cut in half. That way every cut is made without having to guess where to set the height.
I have tried lap siding on my mill and yes very tedious! It’s easier with western cedar. You young ladies are very professional and explain it very well. Wish more young women worked like y’all do! Good teaching! Thank you!
I have what is called here in Australia a weatherboard house. My weatherboards (siding) are a bit bigger 8 inches and 3/4 inch on the thick end and I totally agree with your comments about the plastic siding. The weatherboards prepped and painted properly will last a very long time (my house is over 100 years old including the weatherboards!!) all you need to do is some maintenance now and then. Mine will be due for a repaint soon and repair any damaged boards.
little colder up here in the north, this morning, hadta jump start the cat! but spring is around the corner (or 2) anyway, anything live edge Ladies! keep bringing it. learning ! grateful!!!!
I've been making lap siding for years, all of it radial cut (quartersawn) . My method will work with your setup to use up all of the remaining lumber (the 2X6). If you are interested pleas respond to this, and I will try to explain...it is simple.
My house is logs up to eight feet then turns into cypress lap siding covering the second story. I now have a whole new appreciation for what goes into the milling my whole house. Thanks ladies.
I agree on wood siding. On my mill the head tilts back and forth,instead of the bed...set the thickness by picking a notch,and returning to it back and forth. Which I really like. My choice is white pine for lap siding. Have not tried white cedar yet. Hemlock for board on board. 🇨🇦👍
I'm aware thanks... Mention that the neighbors home is 180 years old...they had to replace the bottom of their siding not long ago... The rest was perfect! White Pine.
There’s an app called sawmill calculator, you put it the dimensions you are looking for and your kerf and it gives you a cut list. It might work for that or might not, I use it on occasion when I have people request thicknesses not on my mills scale
While natural wood siding is convenient relatively inexpensive if gouging live close to woods recommend siding from cement composite siding resistant to rot and insects and isn't combustible that with either tin or ceramic roofing tile also non combustible there also steel roofing that made to look like shingles meadows lark I log cabins from Montana even produce concrete log siding looks just like a log face only does rot burn and insect proof check Simple Living they just finished their home build with the ceramic log face siding
Another beauty Eh!* I've cut, split, hauled, stacked and burned box cars worth of fire wood, but never milled a single board. I own 80 acres w/ about 1.2 million 12"-15" diameter Sugar Maples on it that are haunting me, so I watch a lot of milling videos to see how it's done. Your videos are always upbeat and informative. I'm a gear head, I'm into the nuts and bolts of how things work, so I really appreciate your attention to the operational details. From watching you I believe I am sold on the idea of using a band sawmill instead of a circular or chain sawmill. In this vid you showed the table tilting to give the angle to the 1st cut of the lap siding then back to level for the next, that was a slick trick. I'd like to see a little more of the 40 and how you decide which side of the log to cut 1st, 2nd etc. you know; why you rotate it and how you decide how much to cut on the first few cuts. One More Thing: Do the customers plane or sand the lap siding or do they just hang it and paint it in the rough. I worked as a carpenter for the first 15yrs of my working life and hung a lot of dbbl 4" siding, but it was vinyl which was all the rage back then. It comes already pigmented, so I never painted it. But any trim I put up had to be primed and painted and it was planed. Thank you for good clean entertainment. ben/ michigan *A little Upper Peninsula Speak.
More than the saw and adjustments I"m very impressed at Jade. A young woman who thru much practice has developed the skill and the eye to produce a specialty product. She is in a special club..
First I missed the cup of coffee ... 😁 I like the professionel explenation. Wood is cosy in and out the house; at the fire place ... inside the car or a watch ... Big huge from Switzerland
How nice to actually hear Jade speaking about her work making what is called 'Weatherboarding' in the UK. Have you considered making sacrificial wooden dogs to get a few more pieces from the last two inches?
Would double faced tape between the last 2" and the next beam work. Holding them together without worry of nails , screws or other attachments. Would still be easy to split apart.
There must be a way to put a riser on the canting deck to raise the material. More of each timber could be milled and you would be clearing the works of the machine from the blade path. Food for thought.
@@lumbercapitallogyard That makes sense. After thinking about it as long as you keep the 6" dimension the other dimension could be anything especially since you are cutting so thin.
I whole heartedly agree !!! Wood siding is waaaayyyy better. I prefer a house that breathes naturally. If it gets cool use minimum amount of heat...wear a sweater and a toque. Not for everyone I know. Your doing a great job Jade. Hope you guys sell a whole lot of siding.
hi Emerald and beautifull jade of my house is the first cladding with borden battens and this type of cladding is very common here in the south of Brazil this is due to the large pine forests in our region
It seems Jade is a main operator of LT15. The wood dust is flying in the front of the camera and makes the view more realistic. In the background I see the big pile of logs which demand attention to it. The work is ahead. Thanks, ladies, for explanation.
I know your dealing with green timber, but have you thought about a cheap adhesive ie construction, or stud adhesive .bang a few dobs on the chants ,maybe 3 high and drop the endloader bucket on them overnight. Might reduce the amount of 2 inch boards you produce ,unless that's not a problem as i know you use all the timber you produce. Any way good work you two as usual.🤔😎🇦🇺👌
Em. 77 is more than half of 140. Have you considered using wood dogs clamped between the steel dogs to hold a stack of 2 inch left-overs so you can keep cutting? Between you two girls and the boss, I bet you could figure it out. Might be worthwhile unless the 2 inch left-over has good market value.
Nice Job, Before saws, clapboards were oak and split out by hand with a froe and mallet. Ever see how lap siding or clapboards were first sawn? Check out the Ward Mill in Vermont 150+ years old and their siding is some of the most expensive since every board is quarter sawn. There is another popular method used for more than 100 years and that is to simple saw, plane and edge a 5/4 x 6 then re-saw it in 2 on a tilted vertical bandsaw making 2 pieces of siding from the one board. Peace.
What about vertical shiplap? Then you don't need battens and its a smooth look, easy to stain or paint with a roller. Or horizontal shiplap for a log cabin kind of look. Also Novelty finish siding. Just a matter of a jointer or router table with the right bits to mill the profile. Especially shiplap. Or even tongue and groove?

What makes this job Wood siding so awesome? Jade, plain and simple Jade! ❤🔥
Nice presentation 😀.. professionnel work of Emerald.
Thanks!
You guys do a great job , keep up the great work
Plus that sawmill has to be hand cranked to move it down the board. Nice video ladies!
Man! Jade just talks talks talks talk talk! Taking over the whole show!😊😇😉

If you get last piece cut at square, you put in inventory as 2" x 6" stock. No extra work.

Just look at gorgeous blue sky! Very educational I like very much the effect lapsiding produces. Great vid.
i make 8 inch cants. i also eyeball it. i shoot for 5/8s to a 1/8. at thin end.
Great video! greetings from Colombia
Jade you are smooth as butter with the siding
Yeah Jade ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I have tried lap siding on my mill and yes very tedious! It’s easier with western cedar. You young ladies are very professional and explain it very well. Wish more young women worked like y’all do! Good teaching! Thank you!
yes, Jade is appreciated !
Nice Video. Another reason we do not re-plant here is that the Deer would eat them faster than you can plant them.
Three videos in as a new subscriber. This was interesting and good timing, because I want to side my small home with lap siding. Thank you.
Nice work Ladies, very professional as always. God Bless

The rest was perfect!
White Pine.
to cut the remaining 2 in why don't you put another beam underneath the beam you're cutting to raise it up.
Awesome job today Jade !
We call those featheredge boards in the UK and really only use it for garden sheds and virtically for fencing, with timber not of the best quality.
Great family business.
Thanks for you sharing
Great video! For mine I use the notches/marks on the wheel to make it easy to quickly line up those cuts.

Great Video, so informative, really enjoy it 👍
Ship Lap milled siding is definitely the most durable... Properly installed and painted, of course! They lock together
Definitely easier to install.
I've painted all sides before installing.
I like it. Pine is cheaper, but cedar is more durable.
Is it possible to cut 12x6 cants so you will have less waste. Only one waste board instead of two.
Awesome job you both have it down to a science.
Great work ladies!

I wanna learn how to do this job

Good work and looking lovely ladies

Looks like it cuts at an angle ie: one side is thicker than the other ?
Hi Jade that's a nice job
Couldn't you add 6×6 under 2" using bar clamps to hold down 2" moving bar clamps from end of run to start of run
I'm curious. Is there a reason that you can't use 6x8 or 6x10 and have les waste at the end?
You can, we just cut those cants out of small logs
@@lumbercapitallogyard That makes sense. After thinking about it as long as you keep the 6" dimension the other dimension could be anything especially since you are cutting so thin.
Homeschoolers ROCK !
very nice work ladies milling lap siding
How do you get that angle on the siding, does the cutting head do it, or do u have wages under one side of log
I whole heartedly agree !!!
Wood siding is waaaayyyy better.
I prefer a house that breathes naturally.
If it gets cool use minimum amount of heat...wear a sweater and a toque.
Not for everyone I know.
Your doing a great job Jade.
Hope you guys sell a whole lot of siding.
Excellent work beautiful ladies
when I do the lap siding I count the notches on the wheel 9 when the lever is one way and 15 the other. that way mine stay the same. try it next time.
Good work!
Good job Ladies.
We like Jade in action. Great video.
Better than plastic for sure!
We go with the live edge, and log cabin.
hi Emerald and beautifull jade of my house is the first cladding with borden battens and this type of cladding is very common here in the south of Brazil this is due to the large pine forests in our region
You young ladies have expertise in certain aspects of milling. Each one of your family members has their own gifts to add to the trade.
Thank You......👍
what if you screw a board under your can to get 2 more boards
Suggesting 1 x 6x1 sacrificial prefabricated wood cradles under the 6x6
Could you set the cant on a 2x6 in order to get more siding out of it?
no the dogs wouldnt engage the top piece
You just put the 2" into stock.
But maybe 8"× 6"...? Probably irrelevant.
It seems Jade is a main operator of LT15. The wood dust is flying in the front of the camera and makes the view more realistic. In the background I see the big pile of logs which demand attention to it. The work is ahead. Thanks, ladies, for explanation.

Ever see how lap siding or clapboards were first sawn?
Check out the Ward Mill in Vermont 150+ years old and their siding is some of the most expensive since every board is quarter sawn.
There is another popular method used for more than 100 years and that is to simple saw, plane and edge a 5/4 x 6 then re-saw it in 2 on a tilted vertical bandsaw making 2 pieces of siding from the one board.
Peace.
That looks beautiful
Het, you made me understand more new interesting stuff!
Thanks
What do you do with the piece that is left over? I think you said it was about 2 inches thick so it must be good for something.
Firewood
Stickers?
What about vertical shiplap? Then you don't need battens and its a smooth look, easy to stain or paint with a roller. Or horizontal shiplap for a log cabin kind of look. Also Novelty finish siding. Just a matter of a jointer or router table with the right bits to mill the profile. Especially shiplap. Or even tongue and groove?
