- Emerald truth-telling... lmao.
Emerald, ignore the negative comments, just keep on doing what you do. For your age, you and your siblings are a credit to most of what we have today in our pathetic society. Keep on keeping on❗️
What negative comments? Everyone loves Emerald.
Well said Sir. Good Job and Thank you
I cant find one single negative comment on here. Wtf are you smoking dude?
@@CoinSlotKitty it seems someone saw what I saw so maybe you don't know how to read or maybe they took down their comments. There was more than one.
Heck yeah!!! I second that! From the crazy Cajun down in Louisiana 🦞🌶🍤!!!
Emerald is a living example of a woman who uses her head for more than growing such beautiful hair. Love a woman who knows what she’s talking about.
She is the complete package. She is tough and that's what I like
Agreed! I absolutely agree! That young lady is a force!
Hurricane Ian was a doozy, be well. Thanks for sharing your skills, very inspiring.
Any information on the replanted trees and their care.
We may have gotten a smidge of Ian out west…
On the verge or are alluding to women dont typically use their heads for anything than growing beautiful hair:/ I know what youre saying, and im fine with it but if I had a daughter I might feel differently, just saying.
@@paddington1670 Lol your obviously a liberal and in your feelings. Emerald us a hardcore country girl no one would think she could only use her head for doing her hair. No way that guy meant that unless he is totally blind and has no sense of the type of young woman she is. You are trying to stir the pot. That belongs on Twitter with the liberal folks
Emerald you did an excellent job explaining how to get the most out of a log you are very knowledgeable and skilled at operating the mill . Keep the videos coming i really enjoy them,
Now that was a great video Emerald, and I was caught up in what you were saying when it ended, with so much more of the cutting process still to go. Please, continue from where you left off, or make a new video that shows the next stages, all of them, because what is just boring work to you, is actually really great to watch and to try to understand from out here.
Hey, great idea. Boss Man.
That would be good - a few videos in a series, e.g. first and second cuts, third and fourth cuts, then how to cut the rest of it including working around the rotten section.
I would like to see how you work your way around the rotted area
I was hoping for that as well, be it a two or three part series to break down each move and in this case see what becomes of that rotted center section and if lets say a shorter 8 foot board was salvaged out of the center of the log for example and what the rest of the lumber would consist of given the rot issue you had to work around. Also to visually see that core section exposed Emerald and you take a hammer and show how its a soft mess compared to the solid wood.
Well, she was getting chilled so I can't fault her but I hope she will make part 2.
keep the sawmill videos coming learning so much
I admire your expertise and the great presentations.
I'm never board watching your videos ☕️👍🚜 Have a great day ladies
Board? I see what you did there 😂
Don’t catch a cold and get some more hot coffee!😊 Thanks for the explanation.
This was one of the best videos you’ve done. I like seeing how you size up a log and how you use your mill. Love the equipment videos.
I agree this is one of my favorite info videos. Boss Man.
Thanks for making this into a video answer. Very informative to hear your thought process on how to make the cuts.
You are very good at communicating your points.
Your one smart lady , once I get my mill area set up, I can hardly wait to start milling again . great video , thanks.
If you are ever in our area we would love to meet you. Boss Man.
@@KenBreon Cool, thanks.
Hell yeah... If I make dinner and am experimenting with seasonings and add to much of one thing I cant take i back but if I add just a bit less and add some more I can modulate the "flavor" and our meal will be of a much better outcome :)
"Nice" , "Emerald" you looked way more relaxed and Comfortable other than the Cold ! You seemed way more assertive, like you are talking to one person/ a friend!!!! That's a good thing!! It makes you more relaxed in front of the camera!!! Nice job!!! 🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇😎😎😎. "God Bless," and still watching!!! Hope you guys are all doing well!!!
Boy I love your honesty about freezing and shaking and it's raining. You get a gold star to add to your collection. You are very articulate in your explanations and do a excellent job of narrations about the presentation.
You're killing it. Also, as a new mill owner.. you're videos are a great resource.
A very easy way to find the biggest cant size is to measure the diameter under the bark and multiply that by point 700. With that you split the difference and off you go.. You can make a simple wall chart with common sizes to quickly look at.
Try and increase the cut speed about double what your now going.. When you turn a log with a ton of sawdust on it , the sawdust falls onto the bunks and then gets smashed by the cut face and can raise the log 1/4 inch and worse, not be level. A faster cut speed will clear out more sawdust. A 6 to 7 inch wide first cut is money. FYI, a 15-1/2 inch log will cant out at 10-7/8, subtract to find 4.7" divide by 2 is 2-3/8" down to top of cant. You could get 9 one inch boards with .080 left over. Or 6, 1-1/2 boards with 1-5/16 inch board left over. The leftovers can be added to the first cuts.or make another 1x 10, this is how I keep my scrap down. I hope this helps. Have fun.
@@patrickcreath217 70% (or 0.7) is what "point 7" means.
I take the diameter x .707= cant
@@patrickcreath217 Use a pocket calculator and punch in, point 700 then the times button, then the number of the diameter of your log, that answer will be the max cant for that log. Maybe you dont have the power to cut faster. so you will never know what a singing blade sounds like. Have fun.
What everyone seems to be missing here is, logs are seldom round, seldom straight, and more often than not have some defect along the length that "should" dictate where you make your first cut.
What a great video, Emerald, many thanks. You have great knowledge and a very nice way of explaining a subject clearly and effectively.
That is where having a dedicated edger helps so much. I see so many others who do not take those flitches off especially with hardwoods like walnut. It kills me seeing them ignoring the chance at a one by six because they are focused on live edge slabs or such. Edging oddball flitches on a sawmill is a bit of a pain but it is so worth it when you see those wonderful hardwoods that might be smaller sizes. I live near a hobby woodworker that would love to get his hands on those one by fours or one by sixes even short lengths like four foot or so. Just no one seems to think there is a market for such. Yes, not much market in hemlock maybe, but maple, walnut, hickory, and many others could be sold that way. I am thinking of walnut gun stock blanks, hickory axe handles, etc that could all come from waste wood of those live edge slabs. One guy I watch does not even use the outer cuts for firewood in his home and just burns it in bonfires in the daytime to get rid of it. But then he runs his chainsaw and splitter to cut firewood for the home after just wasting mountains of wood. I am so confused. PS walnut is a great firewood with BTU ratings just below hickory and oak, but I use to only burn the tops and branches as the main trunk is more valuable as lumber or veneer. I would follow the loggers and get permission to cut the brush piles from the property owners. Free firewood was great.
Sounds good. Boss Man.
You are 100% correct about the value of shorter lengths of hardwood. Usually, I have to buy 8 ft. lengths but, as a hobby woodworker (as most woodworkers are), I usually have no need for an 8 ft. long board. The majority of my projects are toolboxes, chests, etc., and a 4' length is fine. On the rare occasion I get talked into building a set of kitchen cabinets, 4 & 6 footers will do the job.
Thanks!
Thank you very much. Boss Man.
Excellent video Emerald, you did an outstanding job explaining the process. Keep up the good job.
She nailed this video. This is a great explanation. Thanks for the comment. Boss Man.
The amount of knowledge, experience and expertise you already have is so impressive! You are a huge asset to the business. Just imagine where you will be even five years from now!
Emerald, it is so nice listening to you explain the reasoning as to why you do what you do to get the most board feet from a log with as little waste as possible. You are well versed in your trade.
Emerald, keep rocking’. Watch you every day. Just like a lot of others do.
Emerald you did a fine job of explaining the cut. If it's cold out wear a heavy jacket it's not worth freezing. Stay dry maybe a slicker and a hat. Stay warm and have a wonderful day. Thank you.👍❤️
I had an uncle who was so good at running a mill people came from all over the world to watch him. I never got see him mill before he passed unexpectedly a few years ago. I think he probably just had a knack for it and then did it for so many years that he became profoundly efficient at cutting.
Some people are able to see all the boards in the raw log. That makes a great sawyer. Boss Man.
I love your videos. Please keep them coming and thank you for sharing. You’re a very bright young lady. Keep up the good work and be safe.
It is obvious to me that you have learned a lot about logs and lumber and how to obtain the most out of each log, this is not something that everyone can learn, therefore I commend you on your skills as a sawyer! You are a real combination of brains and beauty!
Thanks for educating us. Enjoy this channel and variety of content. You present it very well.
Thank you Emerald for the answers about measuring. You are well spoken. Thumbs up.
Thanks Em for the great explanation. I love to hear the sounds of the saw working instead of silence. It gives me a real sample of the work you are doing and all the surroundings you are dealing with. I appreciate your vid's a ton. Keep up the good work
Great video Emerald ,i learned a lot and though i am sure i will never have a sawmill watching you has been very relaxing and enjoyable
wow , time flew by watching that , very intersting emerald ,..... i would have been interested to see how far the rot went into the log and see the cuts as you went down the log .
I too, like many, had been waiting for a vid explaining. Thank you.
Have a good day Emerald, be safe and keep warm and blessings from above amen.
Great video and explanation Emerald. Hot coffee is good on a rainy cool day
I learned some new words about lumber and milling logs from you. Can't, fletches, slab and twidge. I enjoy you teaching how to run the mill. You are very knowledgeable and it seems like you enjoy what you do.
Emerald
You are a fantastic speaker and narrator of your profession. So, I was hoping you could plan longer footage for therapeutic reasons. Listening to you explain your grasp on the knowledge to have obtained in your life has been a blessing to clan a busy day. I know you are busy so you may not but if you are able I thank you for your kindness.
Great video, thanks for posting! You explained well the thought process of the initial and subsequent cuts. When you talked about making two cuts and getting the 1×6×10 board out the second cut (after putting it through the edger) I thought "You guys have well and truly got this figured out!"
Thanks for the comment. Boss Man.
Thank you for your hard work on producing these videos. You always take my mind off of my troubles for a little while, and it greatly helps. I wish I lived close enough to come buy some lumber from you, but I'm down in South Carolina. God Bless!
Hey, if you are ever up this way please come and visit. Boss Man.
Lotsa wool. The best wools to make comfort outdoors are usually not thick. Merino wool is often a thin knit. Warmest are cashmere and bison down. It looks like your jacket may already be wool. Johnson's Woolen Mill out of northern Vermont ?Duo fold long sleeve T-shirts for under layers> tops and bottoms. You are going to be standing outside all day. There is nothing tougher in chilly weather.
Thanks for the info. Boss Man.
And get something made from alpaca or llama wool if you have a lanolin allergy like some folks do.
Super explanation of the process to maximize the boards you get out of a log to maximize profits as well. Too bad you're out in the cold freezing and we all in the North East know what's coming. Keep warm and keep bringing us your well presented and thought out videos
Thanks Emerald, you always educate and entertain in your videos.
This video explains the cuts on this log really well. I'm not sure if I watched it before but the techniques and machinery are always good to rehash.
Could you add a laser level line to the mill to help with the task of checking the level,of the log? Love your videos Emerald!
You are one smart woman. I like that you think things through so thoroughly.
Excellent informative video which I enjoyed watching.👍😁😁😁😁🚜🇬🇧
I enjoyed your video, dress warm and hope you don’t get sick. 🙏😊❤️🇺🇸👍🏼
Hey Rodolph, it's not even winter time for a red nose redhead 💕
Em what a great video you are really knowledgeable always waiting for your next one like the new hairstyle
Man you look like you had one hell of a cold going on.
I’m impressed that you stuck it out and made a video even though I’m sure you’d rather just chill and recover.
I guess that’s what you got too do if you want to make money. Show up and put up no matter what. Good job, I watched this video just cause of your determination to make one when you were sick. Good job
Great video I love when you take the time to explain what you are doing and why. Thanks. The microphone works great.
Right on ladies. Y’all gems. 🙏🏻👍🏻🌹❤️ Diggin in Olde wood. Still trying to clear beetle and burn scars. No lumber. Just pellets with beez wax with saw dust. Ladies I camp with my hatchet 😎💪🤫🔨
i really appreciate all the informative vids. can't beet learning something new. my favourite's are when your out and about, doing fire wood deliverys.
Em and I did a dual delivery yesterday. I wish we could have recorded the delivery. She is really accomplished at her skill. Boss Man.
Great job I love watching your videos because you are so good at explaining things👍👍👍
A lot of it sounds like good old common sense which there doesn't seem to be much of nowadays and no excuses are necessary dear you and your sisters do great work we need more people like you guys 👍😉🐝
Great Job. I would have liked to see you finish the log. I would have liked to see how close the the raw you get. Where you decide to stop and through the rest away. Thank You.
Excellent explanation! :) There is something about milling that is so satisfying! Great job!
amazing job in this video, thanks for making such amazing videos on youtube you all
I love your videos. I Always learn something!
Good explanation, thanks.
" Cut it twice and it is still too short" One of my favorite sayings.😃
You are ALL doing a great job and a credit to your upbringing. Give your parents a very big hug, Mom and Dad both, and say Thank You!
Love your Redwood trees over there,hope the remaining are being protected as much as possible,cheers from Australia.
Nice one em 👏
Good video Emerald, I have a great deal of respect for you and your family.
As a relativity new member to your channel, not having viewed your older videos extensively, I would like to request a video on the logging terms you use. Many years ago I help my father in law build a saw mill. It occurs to me that some of us may not understand some of the terms you use. Flitch, cant, etc. basic logging terminology. Thanks for your time. God bless and stay well.
+Project Bumble Jeep 👍👍
Looking cozy awesome in red flannel 😘
Very cool...thanks for the explanation. Always wondered how you know where to cut. Awesome.
This is a fantastically educational video. Log Management is much more complicated than, say, Rocket Science or being a Brain Surgeon. At end of shift you must be exhausted from the constant mental challenges. Good that you are young and able to quickly rebound. Nice lumberyard jacket. Perhaps a good merch item?
Thank you, I wondered how you made the decision where to start and how much to cut
Awesome footage always 💪
Another great video!👍🏻
You guys do a great job. Keep up the good work!
Your explanation made it clear to me, who has never run a saw mill, just what you look for. Please follow up with the thinking on how to cut the rest of the log. Thank You.
‘twidge’ 😂😂😂 👍🏽. Adding to the English language all the time, greetings from the UK
Emerald truly is a rare gem. Thanks for teaching me new things! 👍👍
I see what you did there
Really interresting 👍🏼
Emerald, a great segment and excellent explanation of the process, but can you do more segments on the operation, maintenance of the lt40, its strangely compelling, thanks, jj
We have covered this in the past, but will gladly do a current video on this subject. Boss Man.
@@KenBreon oh drat, and I thought I was a true fan...thanks for bothering to reply and i will look back at earlier segments (or should i call them video's?) Lastly I look with envy at all the "slab" wood offcuts as I live on a boat here in london, and have heated my living space with a big old wood burner for years so could do with you guys round the corner. All the best, James
I love your video's, I was hoping to see you cut the hole log though. I wanted to see how you cut around the rot and how deep into the log it went. I think you have the potential the take over the mill someday. Your very good and dedicated to the family business.
bring back the intro!! welcome to lumber capitol log yard. Love it ☺️
This podcast is new to me, having only seen it for the first time this week. It's very interesting and informative. I have worked with lumber for over fifty years, framing houses, building cabinets, decks, fences, etc. Wood is a wonderful and delightful material to work with. Seeing how it's milled is actually fascinating. You are not only skilled as a sawyer, but, also talented as a speaker. Being a good communicator is a valuable ability to possess, and is one that you clearly are endowed with. So, thank you for demonstrating how you perform your work and why you approach each different piece of timber in a particular manner. I am anticipating viewing more videos as you share your skills and talents that expand the insights of how lumber is produced. Thank you and those associated with you that bring to viewers these captivating videos. And lastly, but certainly most important, thanks to the one who made all things which includes the trees that yield the lumber as well as the ones like you who turn it into a useful product from which so many great and wonderful items are derived.
I wondered when you were going to take a sip of hot coffee.
Even tail end of hurricanes can make life interesting.
Small computer on the Woodmizer, cool.
I very much enjoy your videos. I would also be very interested to see how you cut that log with the rot in the middle, i.e. how to make the most lumber around the rot.
I liked the lesson in how and why you pick where and how much to cut and mill each log. Thanks!
Thanks so much to the whole family
Great video Emerald, very well explained. I got answer to questions I did not know I had. I understand now why you do the 180 after the first cut. You are very good at teaching you craft. Greetings from Norway 🙂
Love your presentation style, clear and informative. 😁
This is hands down the best video you have ever made!! Well the one I was in was pretty good too but whatever...
Nice filming Jade.
Thank you kindness and for how you do things
Excellent.
Awesome vid
Em...fun to watch you and your family passionate about your family business. Vid idea...explanation of the controls on the LT40. Always watch you do alot of adjustments.
Full monolog throughout the video rocks👍
Hello emerald I would like to start by saying that I really enjoy your videos they are both fun and educational. I just started running an lt40 wide and I am curious what type of band you use and if they are not the woodmizer brand where you get them from? Thanks again for making these videos
We currently use Woodmizer products. Most of the blades are 7 degree. Boss Man.
Hiya Emerald,
This is comment number 197 so many questions, or people like me saying thank you for answering my questions in this video. 8673 views, many people watched without commenting or hitting like either.
Safe safe dear lady, great video, Steve...
Good information thanks. I love that jacket. Wool? Nice pattern. The black makes it less of a checkerboard. I'd be cool if I could find it online. Actually now that I think about it... maybe they could sponsor your videos? Maybe a little Lumber Capital Log Yard logo embroidered?
Very helpful. Keep going on this topic!!! Thank you.
A "twidge" is a slightly smaller or larger dimension than a "Smidge", depending on the area of PA that you are from. "Smidge" is a derivative of smidgeon, which is way larger than a "Skosh".
Ahhh. Thank you for the explanation. To translate into Arkansas vernacular where I hail from, you would have assload, a veritable buttload, and finally....sh*tload respectively.
