Thanks. Appreciate that!!
Appreciate you sharing the financial details of your build for budgeting purposes =)
you are welcome, hope it helped, thanks for watching,
Excellent series. I feel I've learned more watching you than any other video series or on line blog.
thank you, that comment means a lot, I appreciate your attention and time.
Great set of videos,
+mark bridle thank you. It was a lot of work.
great info here,
Thanks
I really enjoyed this series from start to finish. Great job and I'm sure your investment will pay off for you!
+fartfully thanks James. I appreciate your ongoing support as well. Thank you
You are a true country gentleman! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and financials for building this kiln. I will be using some of this very important information to build a similar structure next year in Ohio. Thanks again!!
thanks Bill, appreciate you watching,
Great series. Thanks for sharing your experience. Wish you were closer to Central Virginia. I would be a customer for sure!
+Alex Pettigrew thanks! I appreciate it. Come over someday.
Super content on this entire series Nathan! Well done Brother!
Thanks buddy
@@OutoftheWoods0623 You are truly welcome Brother!
thanks for such a detailed series. i'm planing to build my kiln too (i live in western Ukraine), so that was helpful:) good luck!
Good luck!
Nice job. Kiln looks and works great. I have about 30 old growth heart pine timbers I am going to mill into flooring. I know they will have to be heated at high temps and long enough to set the pitch. Would not be a problem in a very well insulated kiln like yours. A friend of mine uses a large outdoor wood stove boiler and radiators to run his kiln. Works great, uses his slabs for fuel. Keep up the excellent videos.
thanks, his kiln sounds like a beast, I have heard of wood boiler kilns, and to be able to fuel it with the slabs is a win win,
thanks for watching!
Most of what he dries is huge walnut slabs for a sawmill in southern Indiana that purchases walnut from all over the place. The first time I visited the kiln, there were probably 2000 or more board feet of black walnut slabs 30 to 36 inches wide. I've never seen walnut so wide. I met the sawmill owner and ask him where he got such huge walnut logs from, and he answered " wherever I can buy them". Sells them through a website in California. At any rate, you really built this kiln right. Have fun with it.
+Butternut Hill Farm thanks 👍👍
That is awesome I watched you build this but how much did it cost you to build it and I think the reason that it's not so loud is because of how well you insulated it you also soundproofed it
Have you thought about documenting a green wood batch. I have enjoyed and learned so much ... Thanks very much for these videos.
Soon, after first of the year,
Thanks MIchael,
If you keep it up the days going to come when companies like Woodmizer are trying to give you products just for you to use in your videos. That day may not be far off.
Man that would be nice. Thanks for the encouragement
All done up and ready to work, congrats on the competition of the kiln. The assembly looks extremely stout & should give you years of good service. One thought, I don't know how your electric service treats you but it may cause problems if you lost power during a cycle. might think about installing a generator disconnect panel for that just in case ?? Just a suggestion. I don't know how temperamental the drying cycle is ??? Great job looking forward to seeing another video. Take care and be safe.
That is something for me to consider, thanks for mentioning it! I appreciate the feedback and any help I can get.
How is the kiln heated? Is it electric plus and condenser heat from the compressor? If your electric heat is the issue then you can install temperature controlled contactors to inhibit your heat. The kiln controller won't even notice what you are doing.
Thanks for sharing the kiln videos. I may come visit you soon. I am looking forward to more. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge. How long did it take the 8/4 wood to get to 20% after sawing?
Thanks Matt, around 12 months,
thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
This channel is the best I've found so far. Thank you very much very informative. I have an LT50. Just got a a quote for KD250. Looking to pull the trigger this spring. God Bless.

Thanks Chad. Appreciate you watching!
Great video, I was just wondering if kiln drying walnut changes the color of the wood at all compared to air drying? Thanks again for the great video.
Depends on the kiln. Mine does not however a kiln that uses steam will change the color of most woods. Thanks for watching!
In your Q&A video you said you burned the fine saw dust off the band mill. A better use would be to add it a compost pile with green material ( kitchen scraps, weeds, lawn clippings etc.) to make great soil for the Veg garden and flower beds. The fine dust will brake down to soil real fast as the bacteria and fungi eat it. Bert
+bert skelton agreed. One day I might add a garden here and do that. Thanks 👍👍
Good idea, but, dont use black walnut for plants and flower beds.. there is a natural chemical in black walnut that will kill the plants... although that is hearsay from friends of mine.. don't know if it's a fact, just do a little research first.. thanks for all the great videos brother...
That is partially true. Some other plants will not grow under black walnut trees. But I feel the composting process with other matter in excess of 95 % and leaching will reduce the chemical to a minimum. And the compost is a small percentage additive as a soil amendment. But if unsure spread some Black Walnut sawdust in a weed patch as a herbicide and run a test. Bert
We put black walnut sawdust from planer and jointer on a path and very few weeds have grown where the walnut was put. On the other hand white oak saw dust was not as effective.
Hi, Great video series. We're about to build one too. Regarding power consumption, can you tell me what the extra amount of kWhr increase you had while running that month? You said the bill was up about $8.00. So how many kWhr was that? Knowing that, many of us looking to do this can figure out what our local costs will be to run for a week.
Will have to get back with you, haven't seen the total bill just the amount, I have friends in other parts of the country running the same kiln and all of them said when they run the kiln for a solid month with no stopping they never go over $30, if that helps.
Thanks for watching and the feedback, much appreciated.
I know heat kills bugs forsure, Have a large Quentin shop. Stack fire wood in , green , hot summer day , thousands of insects come out , Suprize me , all dead on the floor , never seen any cutting
Very nice! I recently subscribed to your channel and have learned a lot. My son and I are thinking about getting into milling lumber. We went to Woodmizer’s open house in Indianapolis last Saturday and believe we’ll get an LT 35 like yours and after watching your kiln videos I think that’s next. Great job, I wish we were closer, I sure would like to work with you to learn!
good deal, how did you like the open house? I have never been to Indy woodmizer before,
It was a really informative session. They demonstrated LT10, LT15, LX150, LT28, LT35 and LT40 sawmills and explained the features of each mill. They had service techs, trainers and sales reps available to answer any questions (which I had a lot of). My wife and I went and she actually enjoyed it. Win-win for me!
good deal, glad to hear that,
in these parts (middle GA) There are rent to own portable sheds everywhere. what if I bought one and started with that?
+MidGAOutdoor don’t know. I can only advise on the structure I built from the plans given to me by wood-mizer.
maybe you might make a small acsess door in the back to get to the reset button. It wood make life easyer than climbing over the wood in the heat.
+BEE HAPPY Wood Working and honeybees agreed I hope I never have 2
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Or you could extend the thermal overload wiring to you control area (through existing conduit) and relocate the reset button.
Great idea. Didn’t even consider that one
Can you run the kiln in the winter or does the cold weather drive up costs too much?
yes, the insulation will really pay off in the winter time,
How much would you have paid the kiln you used to take lumber to for a load that size?
around 300$ which includes fuel to transport the lumber back and forth,
I know I say this Everytime but KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK this is without a doubt the most informative series I have ever seen on RUclips. All you attention to detail everything about it was spot on. As a furniture maker it's great to see how the finish product get to this point. I think you did a fantastic job. Question I know your money mainly comes from slabs but are you also gonna do regular demential lumber also are you also gonna offer just kiln service?
+Cody Bryant thanks Cody. Much appreciated. I plan on doing dimensional lumber next year but probably not any kiln service. Thanks for watching. Ash is coming soon
Out of the Woods looking forward to it maybe some hickory too?
+Cody Bryant yep 👍
the kiln turned out great. I just have a solar powered kiln that the fans are powered by solar panels. I'm trying to build a new woodworking shop out of sawmill lumber off my own sawmill. if you have time check the two videos out and maybe give me some Ideas. I'v gotten my kiln up to 165 for eight ours to kill bugs with just the sun in mine. guess I'v been luck.
I will check those out, thanks for the heads up!
Another good video and interesting on how it all came together. Somehow on my iPad, your voice and video lost sync... might want to look at it again. Your video quality is always top notch. So I’m thinking something went wrong in post...
thanks for the feedback, that has happened a few times lately with youtube, my over all edit playback clear but during the download it screws up, usually it gets worked out after a few hours.
Thanks for watching!
Out of the Woods sounds good. Thanks for that info as I start to upload my own videos.
Great series on the kiln. A quick question: How much more money can you get for kiln dry lumber versus air dried?
3 times,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Well worth it, now it makes sense to have built the kiln.
Hey Nathan did you ever consider buying a 20' shipping container and insulating it to use as a kiln? And i might be one that will send you an email to visit to discuss building my own kiln.
I did not, since this kiln is small a shipping container would have been a lot of wasted space, and I didn't really have a good place to put a container on my property, others thought have done it successfully,
Such a dry subject (lol).
