I had no idea that Ron Howard quit Hollywood to open a lumber mill. 😁
yup we all look alike at 45, but some of us still have our hair at 70. ginger is known for its roots.
I guess he "saw" the light...
That is without a doubt the best educational video I have ever seen. Thank You Izzy
This was an excellent interview by both parties. Well done.
Supporting the local mill is absolutely the right thing to do.
As a carpenter of 20 years I have to say this is the most useful video I have ever seen on RUclips and thank you very much for sharing this valuable (often unknown) information 👍
Thank you! Very kind words and appreciate the support!
Matt is a great guy and you can guarantee the lumber he sells is top quality and kiln dried. I'm forgetting the name of the man that runs the sawmill but he also is a great guy. Ask him about his sawmill and you'll be there an extra 30 mins looking at all the lumber.
he is pretty awesome !
Matt, it’s always a special find when you speak to someone who legitimately knows what they’re talking about. Wish you were closer. Keep up the great work.

Thanks! If you ever decide to make a road trip, we’ll be here!
@@m2lumber Any recommendations for east Tx sawmills? Your knowledge is excellent..
@@harveymyers6391 Don’t know of any personally, but I’m sure they’re out there! Just do an online search and use the info we’ve discussed here to be an informed shopper!
WOW! You have just changed the way I look at wood. Thank you. Very interesting and informative. Now I need to find some good reputable mills near me. 😊
Great video! I worked for a hardwood manufacturer for more than ten years. Drying wood is an ART!
Nothing beats a good local sawer. Good information. Thanks Izzy
Izzy… I just learned more useful information in 14 minutes than the two years of watching most others. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Very interesting ... this guy really seems to know his stuff. Thanks for posting!
Just a word of caution: if you take a pin meter into a lumber store or lumber yard and start poking holes in every board that you look at, I don't think the owners will be too happy. I have a small sawmill and lumber business and I let customers use my Orion 930 pinless meter. It measures at both 1/4" and 3/4" depths. The holes leftover by pin meters, especially hammer style, are visible in the finished product and will have to be filled. With the Orion you can scan to your heart's content and not damage the lumber.
I would definitely ask before measuring someone else wood, but the best is to let the lumber supplier provide the tools and take measurements as well (as you’ve stated)
And yes, for any material less than 6/4 and sanded smooth, the painless meters are great.
I run a norwood lm30 and this info is priceless. Bottom line, mill up 4/4 boards and air dry them the number of years required based on their species. In my case, virginia pine and chestnut oak. It's what I have.
Otherwise, make stuff knowing your lumber is still wet and deal with the consequences.
As usual, Izzy is THE man to get good info.
This had much more useful info than I anticipated. Stuff that I had not heard before.
I spy my Sawmill in the beginning of this video! Great video fellas!
Thank you so much for all of this! I’ve shared it with everyone I know. Just moving to Seneca SC, I’m glad to know where to go!!
Matt is the best. Been a customer for a year now and won't buy from anyone else
Was a great video, thanks for making!
Figured I would I would make a quick comment for when Matt mentions the wood is Hydrophobic (around 12:35). For those who may not know, he probably meant to say Hydrophilic. Hydrophobic literally means “water fearing.” Hydrophilic means “water loving.”
Pure wood is considered to be hydrophilic, meaning it has a natural tendency to absorb water. This characteristic is due to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the cellulose and hemicellulose, which are major components of the wood's cell walls. These hydroxyl groups can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, leading to water absorption.
Excellent and informative video Izzy! I wood give it an A+! 👍👍🔨🔨
Over 3000 views and only 500 likes! Pitiful people! Is it really that hard to click? Come on!
I have read the drying recommendations, not exciting but technically significant. Keep bringing great content.
What an excellent video! Thank you!
Learned some great info in this one.... Thanks for sharing 👊🏻
Really informative video. Thank you, both!
Fantastic! Thanks for all the info, Izzy! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
All good stuff Izzy. Beautiful yard and very knowledgeable company. Well Done... 🙂
Very well done! Very educational! Thanks Izzy😃
The most informative and thorough explanation of wood moisture and caveats I've ever seen and heard in about a 15 minute or so video. Thank you so much.
He sounds like he knows what he's talking about but you can't really trust a guy who doesn't immediately bend the bill of his cap when he gets it.
Excellent video! Very informative.
I learnt a lot from this one Izzy. Thank you.
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Izzy, thank you for the great education on drying lumber... And finding Ronnie Howard's little brother. 🙂
Well done in the presentation, both of you. Brings me back to Home time vibes...
Nothing different here as usual, nothing but the very best, great information, Thank You.
Good stuff Izzy…keep taking care of yourself
What a great video Thank you Izzy and Matt very informative for us new woodworkers I will watch this video a couple of times. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
AWESOME video Izzy....... thank you
I use Peach State Lumber in GA but also use local miller that have some knowledge. Great info Izzy.
Seriously thank you for this. All the amateurish nonsense on the subject floating around has been killing me. Like having a proper answer for kiln-dried vs air-dried.
Favorited for future reference.
HI Izzy, I always enjoy your videos. Even if you already knew all this information, the presentation and flow of the video was done very well . If you are new to wood working the take away is go to the sawmill for your lumber and talk with the experts. They want you to be successful so that you come back for more. I think it's high time I subscribe to your channel. Keep up the great videos!
What a great video! The kind of info that most people don't consider, but really need to know.
On a personal note to Izzy, I hope you're doing well health-wise. I sometimes have to use a cane because of hip and low back problems. I painted flames on the side so it looks like I'm going fast.
I run a sealed dehumidification kiln running a dri eaz 7000 xli. Does an amazing job and a great middle man inbetween solar and vac.
This is an awesome video. I build birdhouses and deck furniture from scrap construction wood. So, I'm not a high-end woodworker. I still love this video. Really great.
Excellent information, thanks!
Great video, great content.
this guy talks suspiciously like an engineer
Great job as always
Izzy, you have all the answers 😊
Thank you great video
Always good stuff here!
Great information 👍
Very informative. Thanks!
Very educational
Thank you, Izzy.
excellent information! thank!
Any good hobby meters with probes/pins that you would recommend?
If you bought kiln dried lumber from a dealer and aren’t going to use it for a while do you still recommend stickering it or should you just flat stack it? A place up here in Indiana has an annual auction every November and I got a lot of 220bf of soft maple for less than $2 a bf.
And thanks for doing this interview. I’m glad that I continued watching after realizing you were the same guy Lincoln Street interviewed given that I only watched it a couple months ago.
I own and operate a portable saw mill and I cut redwood and Douglas fir mostly, and once I get the sap wood off the center is already dry enough to use for framing or fencing, I have cut some white oak and walnut, and I sticker them and shade them,and I store them on a ridge top of my property with a lot of air flow and that flow seems to dry them out faster than the year per inch, I also noticed that this guys stickers were set in from the end too far, I place mine within an inch or two max, because the ends have so much influence on the board
I also thought of running a portable saw mill operation that will take either downed trees and whether the customer desired me to just remove it and I mill it for future customers OR if the customer desired to keep the wood after sawed and they just paid me to do the work....
I know there are probably things I've not thought of...but has your operation been successful and are there problems with neighbors and or business owners that complain of the noise of the saw when doing the job? Or are these just the things that people tell me to be aware of since the rising "Karens" with less than perfect mustaches...?
What about pinless moisture meters like Wagner's Orion series? They only measure up to 3/4 inches (1.9cm) sure, but that allows you to measure in loads of places as figured pieces of wood can have pockets of moisture trapped due to variations in grain orientation. Just ask Cam from Blacktail studios (youtube channel for those who don't know).
As a consumer who doesn't want to go pounding holes into wood on the store shelf (nor my own boards), I like them a lot. Though they're not exactly cheap either (starting at 400 dollars for the deep measuring version).
Those are def great for a consumer I would say! We like the pinned meter so that we can check the moisture at various depths and make sure we are getting an even drying and not risking case hardening for example. Unfortunately you can’t typically measure deep enough with a pinless meter. But they are def good for taking many measurements closer to the surface without putting a bunch of holes in the wood! 👍
Yes, I have an Orion 930 and it will measure at 1/4" deep and 3/4" deep. I have a small sawmill and lumber business and this it what I use when customers want to see how dry the wood is. I don't want every customer coming in and putting pin holes in my FAS walnut boards! I do use a pin meter with a slide hammer for spot checking lumber in the kiln, but I try to limit the number of holes that I make. The pin holes are a decent size and have to be filled in the finished product.
Great video, as usual. It's very informative. Thanks!!
Great video. I wish I lived close to this sawmill or one like it.
Great content!
Excellent video. Thanks!
A candy store for woodworkers. Nice resource.
Izzy what great video !
Love the opening.
What are your thoughts on quarter sawing and I would love to see a video on that subject.
wood is hygroscopic, not hydrophobic right?
Yes, he misspoke. Also today I learned the difference between hydroscopic and hygroscopic! I've been saying hydroscopic wrongly for years!
lol yup. Although some wood is afraid of water maybe 🤔 😂
@@lukewarren9593 same here i was surprised by spellchecker although English is not my first language and i definitely make mistakes spelling :)
Hygroscopic or hydrophilic
What a great guy
I think the shipping calculator is broken on their site, trying to ship 8 board feet of white oak was quoting me 300 dollars shipping cost to the midwest, 40 board feet was quoting 1400 dollars.
If you’re in the Midwest, may I inquire why you’re trying to get wood shipped from the Carolina’s?
So. What happened to your wrist that’s in cast? I happen to see it. Loved the video of course.
Matt is the man
I read it and the how to build one.
"When in doubt whip it out"
Your moisture meter, that is.
hahahah
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm sure he mean't to say 'Water is hydrophilic' 😁
Hygroscopic actually 😂
@@m2lumber Oh God, mean't to say 'Wood is hydrophilic' LOL
Izzys my dad
🤘🤘🤘
He looks a little bit like a young Ron Howard.
hola hombre grande
Missed the most important question. Is Matt a gamecock or a tiger?
Not that I actually care about either one honestly…but I am a proud Clemson Grad 😊
I appreciate the information but to claim that 1 inch per year rule on a 4-5 inch beam that is going to that 5 years (or more) to dry does not apply is in conflict witch basic mathematics. That example is also not an example of an exponential function.
"a 5-inch beam could take four or five years to dry" 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Or longer…
👍✌️👏👌💯❤️
“Wood has always been a passion of mine for the last 15 years.” Huh? Unless you’re 15 years old, that’s not always.
Did he let you drive his tractor ??
