Our prayers are with Hunter and your family all! Great job job Axel !!
There are several reasons I watch your channel. You do things that are interesting to me and you do them well. You take the time to place cameras and explain the who, what and why about everything you're doing. You and Melissa are taking care of a special needs member of the family and he is a priority in your everyday lives. This means you are kind and not afraid of hard work.
The kiln is a logical way to expand your business for both you and your legacy. Woodworking is extremely popular today and quality wood is in real demand.
That's another reason I watch and like your channel. You do smart things and do them better than I could. Thank you
Sorry to hear about Hunters seizures. I have a special needs daughter that used to have seizures (she has medication that helps so haven't had one in a while). One time we were out to dinner with my mom (RIP) and Dani was eating her favorite meal of spaghetti and meatballs while sitting across from my mom. She had a seizure and her face just fell straight forward into to her plate. My mother had never witnessed one and she was horrified. Like Hunter, we settled her down, got her home to rest and she was fine after that. Of course, we took home the spaghetti and she enjoyed it there. Another story about Dani, just because you share yours! We were at a wedding out of town and had a hotel room, my wife had a seizure (caused by a brain tumor we were not aware of and it was benign and she is fine now!) and collapsed. Dani just said, "Mommy passed out like I do". She handled it much better than I would have expected. We are all "Doing Great" (as Dani will say) and love your channel and sharing your family experiences
I saw the video notification this morning and went to your home page and there was no new video. I went back to the notification and clicked on that and it brought me to the video. Definitely a glitch.
Glad Hunter didn't get hurt. You rock Axle.
As a retired Forester I truly enjoy watching you run these logs through your mill
I’m glad Hunter is doing well I pray he never has another one
I don’t believe in “luck”. I believe in divine intervention. I believe you all do too and that is why I believe you are so blessed. That is also why I watch your channel. Also, I might add you are very smart in your business decisions. And finally, hi Hunter!
By all appearances (I’ve never met you), and by the way you interact with your children, it is evident that you are excellent parents. The world needs more. I hope Hunter is well and there are no more seizures in the near future. For that matter, I hope there are never any more, but I know that is unrealistic. Maybe with prayer, so I’ll be praying for you all. God bless.
Hi Mike & Melissa, Glad Hunter is Fine, as soon as you said you got a warning about Hunter I actually said "I bet it was Axel", Somehow Pets always have a 6th Sense,
Good on you Axel Extra treats for you.
As for the Kiln building maybe place it where you currently have your container down the Wood yard all things in the same place, so you can cut, store and Dry them in the one place, when you get power to it, you could run a line to the sawmill covered building for lighting if required for those days when there isn't enough daylight with a couple of external spotlights.
Afternoon Mike, Sorry to hear that Hunter had to go through that. I don't believe there is anything more heart breaking for a parent then their child going through anything. Just glad all is OK. Seeing Hunter at the end and that big smile of his just made things OK. You know Hunter says more with his smile than a lot of people can or do that can speak. Hunter reminds me of a big teddy bear. Says nothing, but is always there smiling and giving a sense of love to all who touch or hug him.
The dry kiln was a logical next step. I've wondered when you might condier one. As long as you had access to the use of one it was never a priority. Inside a building would be great. Your not totally fighting the cold weather trying to maintain the your heat and you may get a little heat in the building during the during process. Win win I guess😊😊
I'm befuddled at the prices normal woodworkers have to pay for lumber these days. A large sawmill near me has a retail store and their prices are such that I couldn't or maybe wouldn't be able to afford anymore. I always had my own lumber cut from logs I bought. Usually veneer grade logs. None of that low grade crap for me. If your going to cut lumber than cut good quality. You'll develop the lower end honestly. Don't need to cut it. Good luck on this venture, it will pay off.
Hey Mike, We just got done building a kiln. Its 10 X 16, insulated the heck out of it, and we are using a dehumidifier, Three fans circulate the air and an electric shop heater to heat up the air and steralize the lumber. I found it online under "Dehumidification Drying for Small Woodworking Firms and Hobbyist"
Mike you didn't get successful by accident or mistake you are my wife and myself favorite RUclips channel to watch! Thank you for keeping up with your high standards in life and video content quality.
Streamline, productivity. You nailed it. When I started our lawn mowing company I was using a push mower. It didn't take long to figure out we had to be more productive, and that meant standon comercial mowers. Once that happened, WOW, as you said, I started getting traction. You are making all the right moves. Don't worry you're not on a pedestal yet.
I’ve been watching y’all since 2018. Found y’all when I was off work for 5 months with a severe back injury. The channel has come a long way over the years. Keep up the good work.
You know people think dogs are not smart to medical issues, but the good Lord always put something there to help others out and just so happen. It was your youngest dog prayers go out to all y’all, and especially the Hunter. May God protect him and keep him safe.
My heart goes out to Hunter and the family. ❤
I am a subscriber and I saw your video this morning. I watch all your videos while I am on the treadmill. Your videos make being on the treadmill bearable so... thanks. Glad Axel was around for Hunter.
We are a very small channel and this is happaning to us too...people are telling me that htey arent getting notified and they are having to re-subscribe. Thank you for making this Known on a lot larger platform.
Glad to hear that Hunter is okay. My son also has Autism. He had his second seizure about 6 weeks ago. Did an MRI and EEG. They found nothing abnormal.
Glad to hear Hunter is doing better our thoughts and prayers are with you! Have not had issues with the unscribing, but have had issues were you can't leave a comment!
Hi Mike, I was one of the subscribers that didn’t get your video until later in the day. I checked, and my subscription to your videos was still active. It is really nice to see your business is growing. another great video.!👍🏻
I think its awesome! Congratulations on your wood business Mike! Thank you
Hope things will work out with Hunter. You guys are so faithful and kind. Glad the nap help.
My Brother in law and his wife help welp puppies and Foster Labradors for Susquehanna Service Dogs here in Pa. Plus he adopted one that did not make it through training because of allergies. He got enough training to recognize when I am visiting with them and my nervous twitching of my legs, he will walk over to me and rest his chin on my knees to calm any stress. So yes, Dogs and other animals are smarter than we think they are. Hat's off to Axle for being top of the class. Ours prayers are with you guy's, hang in there. Randy
Heck yes!!!! I stopped the vid at 16:05 and said to my wife “they are buying a kiln!”. Great call!!!
I remember you mentioning at the mini-excavator auction that a 40 ft shipping container
with the large length-wise doors would be ideal for storing lumber and use as a kiln.
So glad Hunter is ok. I wouldn’t be surprised if Axel knew, dogs have such a sense of those kind of things
Sorry to hear the Hunt man had a seizure. I know how worried you were. A good friend of mine had them frequently without warning. I would try to give him comfort and protect him until the rough part was over but no matter how often I dealt with it each time was as stressful as the first. But talking and comforting and staying composed until it passed was the best way to help. Others paniked and would be upset and scared.I've heard that dogs can sense when a person is about to seize. God bless Hunter and your family.
I clicked on the video this morning and it said that the video was private. I am glad you republish it.
Glad to hear that things turned out in the end with Hunter.
Hi Mike, For the building to store the wood in, take a look at " Cole the Corn Star" in Iowa. He has some buildings that would look great on your property. They are high bay with white metal on the walls and ceiling with LED lights so nice. You might have to look back a few episodes because most of them now are him restoring his grand father's house.
Wood-Mizer has a dandy 4 sided planer/molder. Next step make custom hardwood flooring and molding. Build a larger building.
Your observations on your best use of time are spot on Mike.
Henry D. Thoreau: "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. When it is time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived".
Prayers for Hunter. Seizures are scary, my wife is epileptic. Thank God her seizures have been under control. Axel was definitely in the right spot at the right time. Great step forward Mile with the business. You are so right about time, using it the best way. Be safe out there, farmer rod
Mike, Our hearts go out to you and your family. No one knows what it is like until they walk in your shoes. I once witnessed a truck stop waitress instantly stop a seizure by squeezing a lemon wedge. Thank you so much for sharing your life and bearing your soul with us. God has a blessing waiting for you all.
Hey Mike. I didn’t get the notification until this morning (28 February). I’m with Hunter. More sleep equals better health. I keep thinking of that comment about you “ruining your land” every time I see one of your videos. Funny stuff….😅
🤠 PRAYing! ... continuing for Hunter, with thanksgiving for Axel and the other dogs as they are part of the 24/7 care ... 🙏🙏🙏
I was taught to prevent sticker bleed to make the stickers of the same species being stacked. Oak stickers for oak, pine stickers to stack pine, etc.
Prayers for you all, a bit scary and stressful. Dogs are more in tune with their humans than most realize. Great job Axle!
Mike, I know exactly what you guys are going through. My brother who is 53, I'm 51, has suffered from grand mal seizures since he was 7. He has one at least once a month. They can last from 30 seconds to three or four minutes. Afterwards, he usually falls asleep, just as Hunter did. They are extremely scary to watch. Sometimes we can predict when one is imminent based on a slight behavior swing or surrounding stress. But most of the time is just spontaneous. Once one starts, there's almost nothing you can do except keep him from getting hurt. Head injuries from my brother bumping his head during a seizure have sent him to the ER many times. He now wears a bump cap almost 24/7. And yes, Axle knew exactly what was going on and what to do. They train dogs to do just what Axle did. For some reason dogs can sense a seizure before it happens. Nobody can explain it, it's just a dog thing. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that others share your experience. Best of luck to you, Hunter and your entire family. Love your videos!!
Prayers for Hunter and your family I know that’s gotta be hard on everyone.
I just checked and found I was unsubscribed.I subscribed again.Keep videos coming Mike we all watch everyday..
Thoughts out to Hunter and your family. Love your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing! People will always have an opinion about what you spend your time and money on. Keep up the great work!
Just checked, I'm still subscribed and continue to spread the word about your channel. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Hello Mike,Melissa and family. My name is Ray Bagwell and I am letting you know that I have been watching your videos about 2 years. In the last couple of month's I Have had to re-subscribe every Video. Yours is not the only channel this is happening to. Thought you would like to know. I am subscribed to your newsletter to.Have a blessed day.
God bless the Huntman and you guys. I hope your new kiln opens more doors than you've planned.
I said Archie but I’m happy Axel/Axle alerted ya & Prayers 🙏🏼that Hunter don’t have any more seizures for a long long time. I have 2 late friends and both of their wives who are still living has the grandma seizures. One is in her late 70’s & the other in her mid 50’s.
My older hunting buddy friend who passed over 10 years ago in his mid 70’s his wife who is in her late 70’s & now. After he passed she had to be placed in a Nursing home because after my Friend passed they had no children or close family who could be with her Incase she had a seizure.
My childhood friend who was in his late 50’s passed in 2022 with the CV 19 his wife she’s in her mid 50’s & affected the same way with grandma seizures. She raised a family and she’s had those seizures since she was in her early 20’s. Her late husband My childhood friend told me she didn’t develop those seizures until after she had some kind of vaccine or flu shot of some sort, back in late 80s-early 90’s, I forget now exactly what year. But both men told me the same exact thing, that their wives didn’t develop those seizures until they’d taken some sort of vaccine or flu shot back in that same time frame. I know the last vaccine I received was in that same time frame mine was in the early 1990’s for some kind of Chinese flu it was a flu vaccine and it made me the sickest I’ve ever been with the flu & I almost died from it !
I made myself a promise that I’d never take another vaccine & I haven't ! But both men said they had to be there with their wives to make sure they didn’t swallow their tongue, hurt themselves or go into a coma. Both women are still living & they’ve had these grandma seizures for about 35+ years give or take a few years. But I really sympathize with You Mike & Melissa and feel bad for Hunter that y’all have to go through this. It’s my opinion that those vaccines has damaged people’s central nervous system and is the root cause of why so many people have came down with many of these conditions. I think they have effected different people in different ways, like myself it gave me the flu in a horrible violent way and I was really lucky to pull through back then. Others it didn’t effect them at first but done damage that has altered their lives & their families lives forever. I remember when I was a kid in the 60’s we had to get the polio and small pox vaccines to go to school and that was it. I still bear the scar from the polio vaccine on my outer shoulder muscle. I think more research needs to be done on each and Every vaccine so that they won’t damage people’s health. But seems that big Pharma wanna keep people sick and with health disorders so they can keep on draining money outta people and their insurance companies. God has a special blue flame place in Hell’s fire for those kind of people who have no regard for other fellow human beings as long as they get rich. Then they just got their organizations to help them cover up their corruption! All I can say is I pray I’m in heaven & already got my pass for Heaven.....And God let’s us all watch him Judge and throw all those evil people into Hell for their evil crimes on humanity’s health on earth for monetary gain! Because whether they like it or Not God’s Judgement is coming.
God Bless Ya Morgan’s
That’s pretty cool that your dog alerted you about Hunter.
I saw it posted this morning, but I'm just watching it now.
Very glad to see Hunter put in an appearance and hear he is okay. ; -)
Love that when someone grows people expect you not to change and get wiser. I feel people fear change and prosperity 🙏
Sounds like wisdom to me. Hope and pray that Hunter is OK.
You just keep doing what works for you and the family and it will all work out!
I have my coffee and tune every morning you publish! Yesterday nothing. I am still subscribed! I enjoy your channel!
Fam, I know it’s not sunshine every day but all I can do is pray for a better day for you & Hunter. Keep on grinding.
Glad to hear that Hunter is alright! Congratulations on the upcoming kiln. - Samuel
Prayers for Hunter and your entire family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great news Mike! Hope Hunter is on the mend. 🙏🏼🙏🏼…life is awesome when you can do what YOU love and make $$ at the same time. God bless you!
I pray HUNTER is going better .GOD BLESS.
The shame of it all is that the platforms that content creators use are NOT THEIRS and they really have no control over the ability or timing of someone viewing their content. I'd LIKE to think that the platform treated the content we view as something that is of value to us and that WE could make the decision to view it or not... Goodness knows the creators have to jump through SO MANY HOOPS just to try to publish content. Ow often do we hear of someone being de-platformed, throttled, blocked, etc., on what seems to be the whim of some anonymous behind-the-scenes person with NO VESTED interest in the content being offered. Keep on Mike and Melisa. There are more of us than there are of them! We sill stand!
Still no POOL for Melissa…. Prayers up for Hunter 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Prayers to you and Hunter. Love watching your videos. Have a great day
We could watch on my phone this morning, but not on our TV until around 9am ❤
Glad to see Hunter doing better. Funny yesterday I was watching RUclips and I came across a video talking about Sheetz and big they are getting. It brought a smile to my face thinking about Hunter.
👍👍👍👍👍👌when I checked in this morning it said “private video” not available”…… any enjoyed the video and future plans…hopefully Hunter bounces back …he is resilient with a strong will 👍👍👍👍Hunter!!!
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Glad to hear that Hunter is doing better. Yay Axel.
Was disappointed that there was no vid this morning. Then I just saw it posted. RUclips must be having issues. Keep em coming.
So happy the Hunt man is ok. In my prayers Mike
Hey Hunter! Glad you are feeling well.
Your video was not the only one. A couple of the people I follow was missing videos this morning. Keep up the great work. God Bless!!!
Hi Hunter, I'm glad you are doing ok.🙏
Exciting to hear of the kiln. Hope Hunter is still OK, and goes another long time without seizures.
I had to leave the first youtube to take my daughter to the dentist, leaving you on pause. (My 4 yr old granddaughter and I had fish and chips while daughter was getting her filling.) When I came back, I resumed from you talking about Axel's warning. It ran a bit and froze. I reloaded it to no avail. It had even disappeared from my history!! Glad you're back.
We are still subscribed and watching. Keep up the good content.
Glad to hear that Hunter is OK!
Prayers for all of you.
Glad Hunter is ok after seizure. Good seeing him at the end of the video. Yes I saw the video this morning but when I went to watch it something went weird and it was gone. I couldn't find it and assumed it was a glitch. Hope it had all ironed out.
Mike woodworking has been a lifetime experience. Professional woodworking as an advocation. I bought my wood from a sawyer who made his living by the trade. My purchase of wood from him is well north of a thousand board feet. Oak, Pennsylvania cherry, walnut and more. I asked him how he cured his wood. He told me that he built a large box using 2"x4"s sealed it airtight with 1" rigid foam and put a dehumidifier in there along with an electric space heater that he just used to get it up to temperature, and then shut it off letting the warmth from the dehumidifier to finish the job. A hose was placed to allow the water in the dehumidifier to escape to the outside. That's it. I bought many a board from him with a moisture content between 8 and 10 measured on my professional grade Wagner moisture meter.
Am I saying that this is anywhere near as sophisticated, and capable as the new unit you are getting? No, not at all, but in the interest in sheer volume, it could be an add-on to it. He had it installed inside of a non-insulated barn, it has to be inside though.
It is inexpensive, easy to build, and could significantly increase your output. Do I really think you are going to do this? Not really, but I wanted to share it with you anyhow. I absolutely love this channel. You're my favorite. I live in a residential neighborhood with a 725 sq ft shop in the finished whole house size basement. I'm going to be starting my woodworking channel soon thanks to your inspiration.
I have seen Kilns like that and it sounds like the guy you dealt with had it figured out. There is a lot to drying lumber to make a good product. You don’t want to dry to fast, to slow, to much heat, not enough heat and avoid case hardening
I am honored to hear from you. Yes force drying wood too quickly can be problematic. Some even give the wood a little time to season after coming out of the kiln. Thanks for the reply Mike. I'm in Pennsylvania also in the eastern part a suburb of Philadelphia. (Not anywhere near the city. :-) One of these days I have to come out and greet at one of your event appearances. @@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans
Working for us. Glad you are well.
Checking in from Fontana, Wisconsin……Glad to see other comments stating that Hunter is doing OK.
Sweet!!!!! This is gonna be awesome
Give axel an extra hug and treat. Back in 1998 my mom had heart issues. Our dog Gigi placed herself under my mom when she passed out in the kitchen. Kept her from hitting the cabinet and counter. She stayed next to mom till help arrived. Luv your pets, they are family too.
Thankful that Hunter is okay and it's awesome that Axle was able to alert you. We love our dogs and they love us back, unconditionally. I continue to be amazed by how much work you do and what you have accomplished. Thanks for sharing your life online...you rock!
Sorry to hear that about Hunter. Glad he is ok. I try to watch all your videos and love seeing your family, property and projects. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear some were unsubscribed. I watched yesterdays video in its entirety. All was well. It’s always exciting to see what’s next in your lives.
I can relate to Hunters story. Our youngest grandson is Autistic as well as having congenital heart disease and Williams Syndrome. He’s currently 7. He did start talking a couple years ago. Hopefully, Hunter will get to the point too!
Congrats on getting the kiln set up!! What a great investment and opportunity for you guys! And prayers for Hunter hope it was just one seizure!
❤Hey Mike, watched the video this morning, no issues.... also haven't had a problem re: unsubsidized..... stuff is still making it across the boarder 😊 glad Hunter is doing better ❤
Pete 🇨🇦
Hey guys. Happy to her that Hunter came through the storm, without serious injury, and give Axel some extra love for his part.
Congratulations on the growing business, 'cause you guys have always worked hard and deserve the success.
I do have a question on the 'cast offs' (first cuts of a log to get a square) : What becomes of those pieces? You must end up with tons of the stuff.
Happy to hear things are ok with Hunter and Axel earned a treat. Got a “private video” message on the screen on the first post. Still subscribed.
Same thing for me Kevin around 6am this morning
Was so good to see Hunter in the background he is in our thought and prayers always. Odd day saw on utube you had a video up went in kitchen to make breakfast set down to eat and watch poof it was gone. Never seen anything like that before. Looked several times through the day saw it watched it. Love your channel and your family. GOD BLESS ! Don Mcintosh
Just a thought for you up coming kiln project. A friend of mine and former employer has a kiln with doors on both ends and rail system. You can load up a carriage with stickered lumber while the other carriage is in the kiln. When the kiln run is done, you slide out the finished one and immediately slide in the new one. Quick, efficient, and less time to heat up between loads.
So glad you were alerted by Axel. My husband and I love your channel and are excited for tor the kilm. We admire your commitment to your family business and understanding that RUclips may not last forever.
I got a notice this morning that there was a new video, however, when I went to view it, nothing was there. I’ve been watching for several years and I enjoy your content. Keep up the great work!
I’m still subscribed and have never been unsubscribed. All is good
Hello Mike i saw and watched the video this morning without any issues. Look forward to see your expansion of the wood yard with your new Kiln. Prayers for the Hunt Man glad to see him at the end of the video.
Looking forward to seeing that kiln! That’s gonna be a huge asset for y’all.
Canada here. I have watched you for many years. I did not receive notification of your video this morning. I'm lucky as I have never been unsubscribed. Am watching you now. after getting notification about 10 minutes ago.
Thanks for the video. Great wisdom on time.👍
Prayers go out to Hunter and your whole family for your strength. Love your channel and your family
Praying for Hunter, Dogs are amazing, ours kept sniffing my wife's belly area and found out she had a cancer that was never detected by normal means. Long story but that after a few weeks of that activity and a few warning signs she had surgery and is doing great .
Hi Mike & Melissa we are Praying for Hunter . We lost our grandson about three weeks ago to a seizure was getting ready to bath to go to work seized fell into his tub and drowned. Our hearts are with you all.
My Prayers are out for Hunter!❤️✝️🙏
