Good morning Brock. It's great to see you back on your own project again. Especially with your Dad. I also want to wish You and the whole family a Happy Thanksgiving. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂
Great video Brock. You and your dad turned out some nice lumber. I really enjoyed you and your dad’s interactions. I really enjoyed the video Brock, thanks.
Great video. I like blooper reel ideas pop. Definitely got me hooked from the start, even though I watch every video. Brock don’t work yourself to hard. Stay safe rock hill 🪓🧬🦾
I am in my late 50s. As a teenager, I would go with Dad to a local sawmill in WV and we would get slabs for free. We used slab wood to supplement the firewood we got from cutting trees for people. We pretty much heated solely with wood. Dad preferred better firewood, I preferred slabs. I had to split all of the regular firewood and we NEVER had any powered splitter. Just me, wedges, and a sledge hammer.
Morning Brock, Morning Keith. If I had the mill already, I’d be happy if the math worked out that the lumber was more similar in price to purchased from HD or Lowe’s. Just for the satisfaction of running the mill ….
There's so many knots that I don't think these produce usable lumber for construction tbh. The wood at Lowe's/Home Depot is also kiln dried, so you can be sure there are no bugs. There's also time to factor into the equation. In many cases, especially in Pine, you can make more flipping burgers than you save in $/bd-ft by milling your own lumber. If you want true 1x lumber and you plan to joint & plane it - you really want to go 1-1/8 at a minimum, assuming you're properly releasing the stress in the cant as you go, which we often don't do when the bandsaw mill is manual.
Your dads fish getting bigger every time.... maybe the minnow he caught for bait was actually the whale that swallowed jonah, thats how id tell the story lol.
It’s funny you paid 150$ for logs like that and down in the south you would have to give those away. To knotty and crooked. Where I live in East central Mississippi we are about 75% pine. Not knocking you for your area just how vastly different the country is.
You should have gotten more. Doyle scale you should have gotten over run. Not just 90% of what you bought that tells me the logs were scaled wrong. Suppose to be scaled inside bark to inside bark. But he put the stick on the outside of the bark That fella scaling the logs needs a new teacher
I love the memories you are making with your dad Brock! That is definitely time well spent! Great job!
Glad to see you have the brains of the operation present for this video 🤣.
Hey Mr M, good to see you!

Love the long videos!! Love the banter between you and your dad! Keep up the great content Brock
Howdy Brock! Looking good my friend. Building a barn and memories. Worth every penny and ounce of sweat! Thanks for sharing 🤠
Great to see your dad helping. Scott sure sounds like Paul, it's uncanny!
great explanations of the price of the logs and lumber. Glad to see the MS 250 still going strong
Yes sir

Good memories
I’ve got a bunch of good seasoned firewood, and I just want to mix the slab in with it
Good video today. At least it wasn’t an info commercial like RUclips has become.
I like your dads shirt! Sometimes it’s not worth doing math, when you enjoy what your doing lol kinda like hunting 😉

Do you think it is feasible to mill eastern red cedar and make sho sugi ban siding out of it?

Why u buy logs that's crooked and logs lay on ground. Dirt bad for blades
And full of knots, I ain’t trying to be negative but I’ve literally thrown away logs that look like that, knotty wood does not make good lumber
So what was your final cost per bft.
I would estimate $.50 per board foot

Agreed. My whole property is oak trees. There are a few little pine trees, but not anything as good as the ones I bought.
