    Matt, you are a safe and very smart guy. Any reason the other guy chose not to wear safety glasses. Makes for a life time of regret. Have learned a lot watching you. Thanks

    On the second slab you showed us, I’d call that pattern “candle flame,” it’s gorgeous. Very nice slabs indeed! That mill has paid for itself a thousand times over with the beauty you uncover alone😉✌🏼

    Because you made your own saw mill you were able to cut this huge Maple into large slabs. Hope you have a market for them.

    Kinda resembles a sugar maple I have standing in my yard. It’s got dead sections, I think it’s got som rot. Wife doesn’t want it to go, but it’s big, overhangs a portion of my roof, my brand new roof and my brand new gutters with gutter guards. I’ve heard it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than ask permission! Love your videos!

    @farmerjohn8726 3 года назад +1

    A spectacular tale of a really interesting log! The best of storytelling, it inspires and teaches. Inspires me to find such logs, build trailers to haul them (learning welding and trailer design and regs along the way), and build sawmills to cut and stack them (learning sawmill design, welding again, log analysis and slab stickering along the way). We're all different. Others apparently enjoy following along with the everyday details of other people's lives. To me, 20min spent watching the family dynamic, kids, life choices, wine tastes and home searches of 'influencers', however genuine and well meaning, is 20min lost and irrecoverable from my own life. But 43min watching a great log turned into magically beautiful slabs by a person who has great skills and a true passion for it, is an investment in knowledge which will be with me forever. Thanks for the story!!

    Been watching you from the first segment of the sawmill build. When you were testing the mill, several logs took the whole sawmill capacity. I thought at the time, you would never cut a log that big. Oh, was I so wrong. Some of those slabs were almost at the capacity of the skid steer, got to be somewhere in the 600 lbs area. Very good video. Thanks for the time you spent in showing us this incredible log.

    Matt, For some reason on this video I kept thinking back to when you got started and were looking for trees and buying slabs. Plus out in the woods getting (what you thought then) were big 3 foot wide trees and you and your friend cutting them up at his place in/near the woods. Wowsa, have your slabs come a long way!!!
