those plates are called gusset plates....well at least that's what I have always heard them referred as. You can find them on premade trusses for roofs or subfloor trusses. I have worked in construction for about 10 years.
I'm not even a woodworker, but I really appreciate the patience and love that you put into your work cutting these logs. And you're right about the pajama people, they need to get up and go to work
I am not a logger, or a sawyer, or even a wood worker. I’ve got no idea how I stumbled on to these videos. That being said I’ve watched a bunch of them, your videos are so damned relaxing. I love seeing the wood hidden by these logs. Your accent reminds me of southern Illinois where I lived part of my youth. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos.
Mknewlan67 I'm in the same boat as you, I don't do a thing with wood but can sit and watch this guy and ignore everything I should be doing around my place. Great videos and I actually think I might be learning a little
Same for me. I know nothing about sawing logs. I watch a few of your videos and I’m Calm 🧘🏻♂️ It’s amazing 🙏 Thank the Lord stumbled across your channel .
Lucky drone - to see such beautiful country. Your videos represent so much more than the wood you cut, and speak volumes on decency and appreciation. All born of something so simple. Wood.
Two things. 1st, I've been bit! I've always loved wood, but seeing sawmill slabs has ignited my passion for doing the same. Thank you for that! I appreciate your sincere love for what you're doing and how you share it in such a clear, and unadulterated manner. I think I've devoured *most* of your content in the course a few days! We're all fighting the latest designer cootie here atm... 2ndly - I'm guilty of having gone out in public in my pjs. I work 12hrs a day, 7 days a week (from 1900-0700), and if the dog needs to go out (I live in a suburb atm - just bought 10+ac. of raw land though sooo), or the kids need something - i'm up, i'm clean, I handle it - yes it might be AM for you, but its PM for us night shifters - and I'm typically back to bed to get ready for the next 12hrs. I'm lucky if I get 4-5hrs. of sleep on a *GOOD* day, and i'm not about to waste any of it swapping clothes around just to appease another's JUDGMENT of me. Of course, if I have an appointment, or its a planned outing I wear street clothes, but for an impromptu outing, i'm not bothering most times. Not sure if that comes off as "lazy", but its my life - one I work hard for! "Judge not lest ye be judged" comes to mind. Keep up the awesome content and thanks again! Peace.
There are no doubt great woodworkers out there that will be able to create beautiful products out of this, but it takes a Sawyer who knows his craft, to turn a 'Sows Ear Into A Silk Purse'. Great workmanship!
I love the rant. You remind me of a guy I went to Ole Miss with who was from Jackson, TN. Great videos. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the sawmill trade.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 That would be awesome! Have big ol sycamore give to me. Is it best quarter saw it like you showed. It's been down for a year and a half+ and some limbs I cut off are really spalted and colored up! Still solid everywhere and looks like it could give up some beautiful wood! I would like to have huge live edge slabs but I fear it would not show off the figure except for a slab or two. Do you have a opinion on this?
I really appreciate the passion and beauty you find in your work. Somebody once said, if you find your passion you'll never do another days work in your life. We have pajama people in Oz too, bogans in ugg boots and I feel sorry for them. They've never had the experience of a passion where almost every effort is a privilege. We're the lucky ones. That work of nature's art you uncovered in that stick was truly beautiful. Thank you.
I would have never thought I would get into watching trees being cut up, but you’ve got me hooked. Great views from the drone and the music really seems to go with each video. BT W, agree about the nitwits running around in pajamas. 😀
I worked quite a lot in the Western Savings/B of A tower in Mesa Az over the past years. The 15th floor was occupied by a large law firm back in the day. The whole suite was finished in mahogany with 12" crown, 8" base, matching casing & crotch mahogany door panels & so much more! All of it perfectly fitted & finished. More than likely a $1,000,000+ job even back then. Beautiful job, they should be SO proud! Wood is amazing & people who don't work with it have no clue. Great job bro!😉👍
I answered a craigslist ad once for a couple peices of wood one was a short slab of what I figured was some blue pine or some cheap buggy stuff. It turned out to be 10/4 walnut with some crotch figure and a void where the two branches came apart and reconnected its 19 inches by 25 inches. The other piece looks to be mahogany it's 4/4 28 inches long and 14 inches wide. They were both free off craigslist! I don't have access to a mill all the time but I do have a buddy with one so we mill some stuff hear and there when I find a tree or some logs I get half of what we mill. I love watching your videos you got a great thing going on!
Another amazing log Nathan. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fine with the walnut videos. Can't get enough of the beauty hidden inside those logs. "Pajama people".....I love it ! lol
Wow! Just wow! I love that walnut. I am a red cedar guy. My whole house is full of red cedar that I pulled off my property in Sparta Tn. I'd love to have a band saw mill like that but I can't justify the cost just doing work for myself. I do everything the old fashioned way:) Great video! Thanks for sharing!!! Glad I found your channel!
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Regarding the amount of work you put into your videos... I stumbled on a "reaction video" the other day. The entire thing was one camera and the only editing was putting the video he was watching split-screen with him. Holy cow! He could have done it in his pajamas. Your videos are half cool wood cutting, half cool editing and half cool commentary. That makes them 133% better than the reaction video.
RUclips keeps putting your videos in my 'recommended' list. Months now I've passed'em over. Last night I ran out of political videos to be outraged over and I watched a video you posted about three weeks ago (Butternut Gold!). What an attitude adjuster. Chilled me right out viewing how beautiful that wood looked. It's been about ten hours and I kept thinking about it and decided to watch this video. Subbed .... what else can I say. You live a blessed life. Beautiful countryside and a solid work ethic. I will be happy to support your channel. Looking forward to more. Cheers from Alaska.
I've watched so much of your content on my TV that I thought I was subscribed. Just remedied that on my macbook. I'm 61 and have been a tradesman all of my adult life but was never around a sawmill. Fascinating! Love all of your videos.
Those are truss plates for manufactured trusses. The wood is laid out in the truss pattern and then plates are placed at each joint and a rolling press runs over them to mash them into the wood. Then they're put on my semi and I deliver them all over the south.
Thanks for sharing, pajama rant! Same way down here in Knoxville, ridiculous laziness! Walnut video's are fine any log being sawed and good bluegrass in background I'm happy!!!! God bless
A friend of mine works in a log yard in northern PA. Instead of the metal truss thingy they use Log Savers. They are plastic I shaped things that are hammered in the ends of veneer logs to stop a split from growing and preserve the value. And since they are plastic they don't harm the veneer machines.
Great video! That log turned out to be a diamond in the rough for sure. I also gave you a thumbs up for the pajama people rant. Hilarious, and I agree!
" I don't even own house shoes" 😂 I'm not sure if I'm the the only one who finds things like this funny but some of the thing you say are hilarious to me. I know you are being serious and not trying to be funny but they really do make my day. Great job again. I've been enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Yes you are a treasure. salt of the earth and home spun. this is the first video I've caught and am going to subscribe Jeff from Squam Lake NH
On average how long does it take to air dry slabs to get you to the point you can build something? It would differ on what kind of wood but just curious of an average.
Sawed some 9 quarter Red Oak slabs this weekend! First time having something sawed! Your videos under expressed the amount of work that is required to get it on and off the mill, and drying! Lol! Great videos! keep up the entertaining work!
More positive proof that beauty is NOT skin deep. Quietly waiting beneath that rough, old exterior was some more beautiful wood grain! Nice slabs! Totally agree with you Nathan about the pajama wearers. Serious issues with laziness and lack of self worth. Anyway, keep these videos coming. They are appreciated!
Those metal plates on the bottom of the log are used when you build truss rafters. Wherever you have a joint or where a piece comes in at an angle you use those plates to join the two pieces of wood together.
What's with the light wood streaks in the interior part of the plank? I thought Walnut was a consistent chocolate color (excluding sap wood) Do the light parts darken due to light/air contact?
I’m just getting into milling. Is there a way to learn what type of logs your cutting when all you have to go on is the trunk or in general? I’ve run across several homeowners that have no idea.
I'm going to start watching the weather report for East Tennessee from now on because I love watching your videos and have to know what's going in your neck of the woods...
All this proves is how powerful modern tools are, to be able to make such a clean cut with such a messed up piece of wood. Also how incredible modern stains are, and how staining and good cuts can really make almost any piece of wood look good.
That trick you do, splashing water on the slabs to expose the grain is awsome. It really does show everything... what do you do with all the slabs you cut?
I think those are truss plates for tying a frames. I could be wrong but thats what it looks like to me. I don't think anyone could ever get tired of watching someone cut into a bunch of awesome walnut. Man I need a mill bad.
they are called gussets, they are normally used when building roof trusses, pounded in at the joints on the trusses, to strengthen and to prevent joints coming apart.
You did good son. I worked in a sawmill during the last part of the 80's. Mostly Doug Fir and Hemlock. I hate to see potentially good cants going to waste. Nice to see someone else has an appreciation for what could be.

Some of the tools used at the sawmill for those interested:

The beauty of natural wood never ceases to amaze me. I would choose the look of natural wood to painting any time.
7:40 I think they're called a gusset plates or mending plate. They are used by truss manufacturers.
Some times called a gang nail or plate nail.
I've heard them called truss ties and strong ties, but strong ties may be a manufacturer's name.
Strong tie is manufactured by the Simpson company. They are mostly used in the wooden truss manufacturing process to connect panel points.
@@ddnaomi Thanks!
Gang nail here in Oz.

well said,
Sorry for so many comments but man this whole video was great, the music, the scenery, and the amazing walnut, doesn't get any better than that.
thanks appreciate it,
You're a hoot, Man. Love watching you. Be blessed!
The metal plate is called a "gangnail" used mainly in trusses to joint 2x4's on the 3 1/2" side
This is why I love RUclips, I've never seen a downed tree turned into slabs like this. GREAT
thanks for watching Paul,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 You are a natural instructor and on camera. Keep it up!
Haven't been disappointed yet. It's always a pleasure to open up a log.
Beautiful! Almost as beautiful as the opening and closing scenes! Thanks, Nathan! #KeepTheChipsFlying!

I love your rants on pajama people haha haha.
And to think he wasn't even at Wal-Mart

I've learned so much from watching you cut wood. Have a small mill that I just got and feel confident I'll be able to cut some good lumber. Thanks Tom
There's something really satisfying about watching him clean off the sawdust covered slabs with water, and how the color/detail comes through.
I can tell you enjoy your work that's awesome. Nice seeing a video of someone that really enjoys their work
I haven’t done wood work since high school shop class 30 years ago but watching your videos makes me want to try again.

thanks John,
Sittin here in my camo pajamas and house shoes watching you do your magic. Very nice.
haha good deal,
Would it pay you to buy a bigger saw to cut wider slabs? Just wondering haw long it would take to pay the difference?
It might, I am working on that,

Beautiful wood !
What will you end up doing with all these slabs ? Make something or just sell them and what would 2 matching pieces go for ? Thanks.
not sure on price, depends on final size after drying,
That’s what the schools are teaching them on more hard working creative people like you. Another beautiful beautiful cut I believe it’s called a Cleat
You've changed the way I look at logs entirely - even trees. Driving by I'll often wonder what's hiding inside now.
yes I find myself always looking at trees when traveling ,
So many colour variations in Walnut such a beautiful wood.
Yes it is 👍
That log had a lot of tension in it. Is there anything that you do to deal with that?
Lots of weight on top during drying.

We in the UK, call the plate a gang nail. Usually used on roof trusses. ✌
Or splice plate.
In the U.S. Northeast we have a few names for it but we call it gang nail or gang plate as well.
