    Hi! Could you do a video showing the beginning of the firewood bundling process? Saw the short where you load and tie off, but im curious about the beginning of the process, ie how you get the netting around the form initially. Also describe how you build the rotating platform and the form itself. Thanks

    Hello Emerald, You are spot on with the squaring info, Bet every sawmill manufacture has had these same questions called to them before. My son was having trouble when he was learning the sawmill and after watching him I realized his clamp was to tight and throwing off the log making it out of square. Ken I await the first show of your BBQ extravaganza I bet it will be a big hit. Hope Boss Mom will be in it too! 🍗🥩🍔🍕🌭🫕🤠

  • @thesifikite6450
    @thesifikite6450 Год назад +2

    One of the things I always wonder about in your sawdust pile... There should be a way to hook up a conveyor belt that uses the return cycle of the sawmill to move the sawdust out of the section between your building and the mill. Would not think that it would take much to setup something like this and would have zero effect on the milling process itself!

    @marceldarin4511 Год назад +4

    Hi Emerald, i always love it when you stand in the sun with your hair so then you look absolutely what you are : on fire !🔥🔥
    For the square problem : you are right to make 180 turn to have the parallelity first (control that if you havent already). Then when cut the third side watch that you do not overpress the four fingers on the left side so take the hydraulic clamp not to high (i think middle would be good). Control after the first cut, perhaps you have to put a little underlay a the top of the four fingers because they are worn out (maybe that could be fixed). Repeat at the fourth side. Please tell me if that was use- or helpful.

    @paullynch277 Год назад +34

    Hi Emerald. When you rotate the Log (after first cuts) use a 90 Degree Angle Set Square - Note you must put the Set Square(on opposite side to the Dogs) - against the horizontal support bar of the Mill and then check how square you have the log against your cut edge. By trying to square up a log by viewing the Dogs side alignment of the log you are not going to get a consistent square cut. (you are trying to square the cut from the wrong side). Instead, if you use a 90 Degree Set Square as described above on the other side of the Log, then you will be far more accurate and maintain a consistent quality.

    • @dieterkoch6563
      @dieterkoch6563 Год назад +9

      My thought exactly. Use the most stable element of the mill as the basis for the calculation.

    • @bwillan
      @bwillan Год назад +5

      One additional step would be to make sure the log bunks are free of debris on each rotation of the log. A battery powered leaf blower is a good tool for this. This is important for the second cut to ensure that it is perfectly parallel to the first cut.

    It may be your large square! I have had so many that seemed to be square until you flip the square! lay it down and draw a line the full length of the square then flip it over and compare where the line is to the square! you may see the square isnt square! It may be off at the end by even a width of a pencial line which will throw off everything! But Great video! I love the attention to detail and showing us what it is you were talking about! Thank you! and Boss man Ken! looking forward to seeing some of your BBQ products! Mouth is watering already!

    I will keep saying it, You are a good sawyer! one little thing l would do if l had an off square cant would be to turn it 180° around and resaw it square. it works, try it some time. same procedure as you cut a log.Cut top,flip 180° ,then the other two faces.if it is really out of square you will have 4 pieces of beveled siding!🤣I bet the turkeys are gobbling up in those hills now.

    great video another way to check for square is to hold a small plistic orange speed sguare on blade and eyeballing it to flat cut against uprights then use your dog thingy to adjust cant. 180 degree rotation on second cut makes it easier to make those fine adjustments on small logs. keep up good work. looking forward to bbq videos.

  • @SuperRistopaha
    @SuperRistopaha Год назад +4

    Sometimes a log being sawn into beam shape will have some tension in it which is gradually or suddenly released while you saw material off, that can also lead to geometrical errors in the final beam. Drying the beam is a whole other story in relation to the tiny tolerance you had in your example beam. Looking forward to BBQ!

    Hey Ken since you and I have the same hobby I was thinking we could start a club or association to promote our hobby. It would be great and maybe we could get teenagers and the younger crowd involved since they don’t seem to have much experience with it. We could go nationwide with regional and local chapters. It would be great and beneficial to communities. What’s the hobby we share? It’s called “WORK”, which seems to becoming a lost art. Glad to see that you are going to start a new hobby which doesn’t require boots. Hope the rest of the family joins you with your new hobby too since they too share your old hobby.

  • @tuberzish
    @tuberzish Год назад +1

    My 4-year old said to me one day, "That's not a square, that's a triangle!" By the way, you probably know that lumber often shrinks diagonally when it dries, so even if it was square when it was green, it may not be when it's dry. This can be really pronounced in a larger beam, or in a beam from a crooked log, or when the beam wasn't centered in the log. There's not much that can be done about it except sawing oversized and remilling after drying. I've heard that some mills that handle more expensive lumber will reduce waste by sawing out cants and let them dry for a while before resawing into boards. Even then the outer layers of the cant will be dryer than the middle.

    I could swear today is Saturday - it doesn't matter, in that case I'll go out again tomorrow. Pretty face, speaks sign language perfectly. I guess 20k of the followers are deaf and are happy to finally understand someone on RUclips. If the stops are slightly worn out, the angle cannot be correct. Maybe it needs to be readjusted. Even if there is only a little sawdust on the supports, it can no longer be in the angle - it doesn't take much for that. I would always wipe it down with a broom before turning it over, if the perfect angle is needed. I know this because I can operate machines like the milling machine. Looking forward to Boss Man's Hobby!

    I recently got a Lucas Mill for hobbyist purposes and have been wondering if it is suitable to make beams that contain the pith. From everything I have read or watched it more often than not recommends removing the pith for structural and drying purposes. I would need very large diameter logs to get any quantity of pithless, stable, quarter-sawn beams out of them.

      I don’t really see how 180 can make a big difference. As she notes in the video, the key to getting it square is no daylight between the sawn face and the dogs. Whether the opposite edge is round or flat shouldn’t make any difference. The clamp might get a little better grip on a flat face but that isn’t mentioned in the video as an advantage. I almost always turn 90. Getting that second face square is the critical point for me.
