I love that the Hempwood team really created a sustainable and cyclical process but also even more impressive is how you guys created/invented several machines specifically for the manufacturing. The repurposing of tobacco trolleys and dryers... so smart. That's awesome. Really looking forward to watching your business and company grow. :)
Do you know you work with God?!? You must, to be pioneering this new way of doing things. And then openly sharing what it takes. Thank you so much! Great work! Just curious? This is so amazing.
Timber frame products out of hemp would be soooo awesome. Thanks for sharing this really great progress that makes way more sense than mindlessly destroying forest for money.
Wow this is so amazing. I’ve been in the concrete building block and pavers industry for many years but seeing this is hypnotic and mind blowing. This has many applications and ramifications. I’m just flaying out. 👏🏼
Fantastic! I love seeing real creative energy being used to the potential that should have been allowed to go since the 1920’s. This should be the future. Thanks for posting. Subscribed.
When I was a kid, we lived in Missouri, on a farm just South East of KC. We had Hemp growing wild, all over the place. We couldn't get rid of it, no matter how hard we tried. Oh, and if someone really wanted to, they could have "turned us in" to the authorities for illegally growing something that is essentially a weed that grows naturally, on its own. Even then my mother knew that Hemp was a wonder plant and was upset that it had been relegated to the status it had been. I'm glad to see things have changed, its just too bad it had to come to this treatment in the first place.
This may have been said/asked but... Since you had to invent/create/alter your own machinery, have you looked into Producing machinery for sale to Other processors? Im sure the hemp lumber industry is Growing and those potential producers will need YOUR Specialized equipment to process raw material into lumber as you have! Basically you "invented" a tool that everyone else will need to help get This industry TO REALLY GROW!! I FEEL THIS IS A WHOLE OTHER BUSINESS VENTURE FOR YALL! Since youve done the "legwork" of Literally Creating the machinery for this market... And that is Exactly what is needed for the market to grow! The tools and equipment "readily" available for expansion of hemp products like yours!!
Well, I wish you the best of luck and hope of the future. Sure beats the idea of “smoking a board.” I’m sure you heard that enough. I hope this catches on. With the price of groceries, diesel, etc., going up very much every day, he world needs new ideas. This is one of them. Happy hunting in the business world.
With the shiplap systems coming back so strong, shiplap would be a great use for HEMP Planks. A great replacement for Sheetrock as it could be pre-stained or painted and be as fireproof and yet have more structural support for walls.
I love the idea of processing the hemp fibre for wood. Could you do a part where you explain the process and let us see the pros and cons of the board that you produce. For example what sizes and how hard is it to use the end-grain or is it like compressed fibreboard?. Does it fur up and expand if it becomes wet? Can it be obtained in Australia yet? Also I agree that you need to set up a persona;l microphone. For those who aren't using American accents daily we miss a lot!
I just want to say thank you because I did not know the extent of him because it was so bandit in his country so you think of it as the negative thing and your educating us on a lot of stuff appreciate it have a blessed and safe life with everything going on right now
i was just going to ask about tensile strength when he talked about the carbide blades.... and that stain is nice. a different look, not grain, but def a texture a designer could get behind. love this.
Up here in ND we have been exploring using wheat straw as a wood substitute with similar products that you showed with fire resistant qualities for insulation uses
This is cool. He kept swaying that they were burning their waste by they are actually making biochar. That is also really cool and carbon negative! I got a quote for a small floor from their sales person today. Seems to be about the the same price that Home Depot is charging for bamboo floor. Almost twice the cost of Home Depot oak flooring. But much cooler, I imagine that it would be a real conversation starter for visitors.
Fine video! Thanks for making! (But the speaker could use a lapel mic. We really want to hear what he says, but it's hard to hear when using the directional/build-in mic.)
Been thinking about this for years now good to see. Can collect gas or oil from the burner? Also run a water pipe through run a steam generator? if your shed running on electricity that is, I'm assuming.Nice work, in the process I been wondering how to make different grades of wood (bit softer) depending on application. Use as studs/rafters? Personally I prefer the hemp blocks for building just in case someone wants to do something different how well do nails shoot in? Glue adhere? Waterproof/resistant?
Interesting. When recording in noisy locations, you might want to look at a wireless microphone setup like the Rode Go2. Relatively cheap and easy to use.
The European company named Gablok has a really good system for building homes there can be modified to use hemp plywood and corn styrofoam making it as environmentally friendly as possible.
As a Real Estate investor, remodeler/builder that builds/remodels houses with an ARV/ABV in the $299k to $350k range, how do we get this product down to a reasonable ppsf? Also, we are in the greater New Orleans area, and have a high relative humidity and raised houses or on slab. Do you offer a water proof solution?
Have you done a heat resistance test? If so, what product do you produce with the highest heat resistance? What is the highest heat resistance/ temperature of that product?
hi there. You should reach out to HempWood to ask these questions. This is the Lancaster Farming RUclips Channel. We cover hemp. we dont make hempwood.
It’s not wonder why weed has been illegal on the federal level for so long. The potential to put multiple industries out of business altogether is crystal clear. I’m sure we could even create a bio diesel for fueling trucks, cars, and home heating purposes. The possibilities are endless.
Are Energy Corps. Involved in growing using their refinrery machine for fuel, plastic, CBD for employees and uniforms? What kind of seeds used. Any hemp growing in Oklahoma for this
Man, I’m an fresh entrepreneur from Ukraine. Would like to start hemp farm in Ukraine. Many thanks for this excursion! Have one question: how long did it take to build such a company and what was you initial capital (if it is not a secret)
They should manufacture the new hemp Lego like building blocks made in Canada. Utube channel Exploring Alternatives Hemp Lego building blocks. They will be a game changer in green safe building.

Hello guys, if you get a chance, check out Wasp 3D printing houses using raw earth materials. Your hemp by products should work just like the hay and straw they were using. Great work and great products.
It may have to be hard if it's going to be used as floor boards, in other words, the application will dictate the density of the product.....that's my guess so don't quote me!
Nancy Berch of Paradise/ Plains, western Montana was growing beautiful organic fiber hemp a couple years back. She was Aldi getting great seed from it. She was ahead of her time. Could find NO BUYER for it. Pity
I wonder if they use a natural glue to make it. Otherwise it kind of seems like your taking a step in the wrong direction, and it possibly couldnt be considered eco friendly
If built high-rise grow room/s with a water tank on top you can design a practical powrrstation running water down hydro generator. Build FISHTANK nextdoor can fertilise recycle water system build ecosystem produce own electricity, use minimal water, Lil to no waste. Adding gassifiers generators wind generators if in vac system if have 1. Use less space land wise same output or more supply food chain to support system thenb can reclaim land for rainforest bush land use minimal water. Designed aptly should be able to use no extra water once it's designed steam water into environment every 6 months once it's. Filtered all the garbage out revitalised with nutrients then we have clean rain clouds not GARBAGE & round up etc etc... Aeroponics systems on levels just incase get a disease don't lose whole crop grow different strains. Been trying to lights that don't need wires as grow lights for supplement light. Much easier to grow harvest etc etc..
Your factory needs some automation. You might be better off making a plywood type sheets insted of logs, then milling the panels into flooring strips like a plywood factory or mdf factory and how its made less manual labor more mechanical production. After wide boards are cut per order toung and grooves can be milled into the edges high speed someone could place an oder for 3k sf of 2.5" strip flooring And x length boards configured to the room size. Bailed down like any wood flooring is and you could also stain to order or tottaly do prefinised flooring. The sheet goods can also be toung and groove sheet goods for walls roofs and subfloor use, a coating could be applied like hubblers sip wall system and a foam insulation added, also pre built walls using engineered walls like the 2x4 and 2x6 type foam walls sold in Canada that use 1x and 2x stock with foam and rods. To create a break between inside and outside walls contact that cut down thermal heat transfer insted of wood rods hemp rods becuse hemp has a better insulation value and its fire proof and termite proof. This would be traditional wood type framing hemp is also used in block wall construction. It grows faster then wood uses less water controls weeds itself and takes almost no energy to produce. Like tabaco its a cash crop. The whole plant is usefull.
The background noise muffles the audio. With that shut off and him wearing a high quality lavalier--this would be MUCH better. I am missing about 75% of what he is saying. I want to know about hemp subbing wood...especially as 2" X 6" studs and flooring.
Thanks for doing what you do! What TF is the hold up of hemp taking over the pressboard, plastic, wood industry anyway?! We can't wait around for the fking government to support it. Let's just do it! I grow and package my own lavender and cannot/ don't want to buy plastic packaging any more. I really want to purchase hemp plastic and it cannot be found. It's very frustrating.

This reminds me of how bamboo is being used more and more as a tree substitute. Hope you prosper.
Hemp is more sustainable than bamboo, which is interesting
I love this guy and his business!

This is an awesome company, I love your products. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the support!
Love it.. been wanting to learn more about it and here you are basically answering the inner thoughts about what we can do with it. Thank you sir..
If I had any money to invest I would make my life from this work, would be so awesome. Love it...

Even more than tensile strength is hardness, which makes it perfect for flooring. The only question unanswered is the thermal properties of hemp wood.
Wow!! I am really impressed.
im beginning to wonder what hemp cant do at this point, so many uses its wild
in fact . if you smoke it you get buzzed.

Hi. do you have them published somewhere?

Now... we can use every part of the Cannabis plant.
we drove past a field of these in hopkinsville last week. the kids were curious about them
Keep up the good work

How long does the gluing and pressing process take?
Man can I be a partner an branch here in VA , evergreen grow! Here I can support this 💪
Is there a hemp product comparable to MDF, and if so, where could I obtain some samples?
Wow😮
Could hemp wood replace engineered lumber? How would it be comparable in cost? At the moment engineered lumber is $840 m2.
Great question! Right now our prices are competitive when compared to engineered lumber.
I want to start something like this in South Dakota. Any suggestions on where to start?
Any help is appreciated.

If he doesn't know that all wood workers and carpenters use carbide blades I am questioning everything he has said.
very Great!!
Man, I’m an fresh entrepreneur from Ukraine. Would like to start hemp farm in Ukraine.
Many thanks for this excursion!
Have one question: how long did it take to build such a company and what was you initial capital (if it is not a secret)
How durable is your hemp wood for use outside like a porch. In Kansas. Thanks
How does this compare to bamboo flooring?
What is the glue they use made of?
Салам с Кыргызстана
Молодцы ребята
Metric IS standard.
How much is the top of the crop worth? And what's the cost price comparison vs lumber?
So cool... 🤩
i enjoyed the information, but I would have expected the sound quality to be much better.
How much float do these hemp wood boards have?

How are you. You have a good day. I have many many akr of hemp but I don't know how to make products from hemp in Pakistan. Can you me.
hi, writing from Zimbabwe.....plz keep me informed
I’ve heard it can make a form of concrete!
Can you vary the density so that it's not so hard that it damages saws? Seems to me wood doesn't always have to be that hard.
It may have to be hard if it's going to be used as floor boards, in other words, the application will dictate the density of the product.....that's my guess so don't quote me!

I guess since dope is getting legal its really no big deal but has anyone considered the possibilty of a serial arson running around getting High.
I grow bushes son
Instead of cutting the boards why not just make different size boards?… have you seen Canada’s Greenfields automotive hemp train?
why do you say we buy a few hundred acres? are you buying land? is hemp sold by the ton?
if only you had better audio
If I were you I would wear a cordless mic in your shirt pocket...
clean your lens
