At 83 years old, I don’t think I will be in the market myself. But, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this setup. Wood-mixer looks like a well thought out product. As an old aviation engineer, I appreciate the human factors regarding safety and ease of operation. Looks like an excellent choice for years of production and satisfaction.
If you don't pour a pad, you can take some white oak or treated lumber and make 1'x 5 or larger pads. Then, put trim around the edges to capture the feet. The mill will move around. This way, it's less likely to lose level extra. Our is on a pad, and i had to ancure some stop blocks lag bolted down. Enjoy the mill.. feel free to reach out if you have questions about cutting lumber. I've been doing it for over 30 years.
Mike you are going to enjoy that machine. It is much nicer than my LT40HD. I am glad to see that it will cut a 21 foot long log. Marty became a dealer 4 years after I bought my saw. I would like to have had a person like him when I bought mine. Congratulations on your investment.
That’s one serious piece of equipment. This elevates capabilities and production time to a whole other level. Having under roof big time protection. Sales rep in the heart big time lumber territory. I bet he’s seen it all.
I'm a welder / metal fabricator / CAD Designer. I don't play with dead tree carcasses, nor am I a "woodchuck." But I have to say a big thank you to Marty. It was such a pleasure to see someone who KNOWS their STUFF, when it comes to the product their selling. This man Marty bleeds Woodmizer with old fashion pride. Thanks for sharing this video Mike, hopefully the low-class people @ the tube, don't put a copyright strike against you ,for recording that woodpecker, he was loud. Mike I think you need to get that woodpecker to sign a Non-Compete. Just want to take the time to say hello from the pacific northwest, and a big HELLO to HUNTER. Hunter, I don't know if you know this, but now your dad is an official woodchuck now, who will be eating sawdust for breakfast. That's a joke Hunter. Luv ya.
Gayle Charpentier, New Iberia Louisiana. Glad to see your new Saw mill has arrived . watching the man show you the rope .Very nice saw mill. Tell hello to all. GOD BLESS ALL.
Congrats on your new mill Mike. You will really enjoy using it. I have a 1998 LT40 Hydraulic and have enjoyed many years of cutting with it basically maintenance free. I have about 1500 hours on it now. Was a hobby business until the last 11 years since I retired and now gets more use. I probably mill 200 Popple logs into construction lath every year now along with custom milling some large logs and character logs with crotches. Includes some big white oak 1/4 sawing. Never get tired of seeing what the next board looks like. Enjoy!! Terry, Becker MN
Marty mentioned the answer to a big problem, "communication", it will prevent most troubles before they happen. This is one of the best videos you have made recently. I do love almost all you put out, great information about great subjects. Best to all the family and stay safe (have fun with the new mill). BTW, I see 16k views but only 3.1k likes??? If you watch the vid all the way through, you must like it so just take a second to hit the thumbs up. Won't hurt your finger a bit! It would be nice to have air blow across the bottom of the log when you flip it. keep it clean.
Thanks Mike and Marty for the very interesting video today. Glad you finally got you new High Grade Wood-Mizer LT50 full hydraulic saw mill Mike, it's a beauty and once you get the hang of it you'll be so happy with it. Thanks for sharing with us and going into so much great detail about the operation and set up . Stay safe around there and keep up the great videos and having fun. Fred.
Nice machine Mike. I hope you understand it because I am totally lost. There is obviously a lot to learn. The more I watch, the more I appreciate what Nathan Elliot does. Good luck and happy sawing. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Wow. They have come a long way. Surprised how quick the initial setup went. Lot going on with that model. Easier on your back than your 150 and probably triple the production. Nice!
Check out the channel..WORKING HORSES WITH JIM. He has the same mill and has it under the roof and rollers for the return wood to come back on. It slides right over to his edger. Sweet setup.
@@michaelmaker8169 I watch Nathan's channel Out of the Woods. I was watching Iron and Oak Sawmill, but Chuck passed away about a month ago and I don't think his wife Deb is continuing with their channel.
These machines are so well built, thought out, and solid. Marty was a wealth of knowledge, and champion employee for wood miser. Good luck with it Mike
Good luck with the 50, I have purchased two mills from Marty over the last 12 years. I usually bring the mill out to Shade Gap for service and a full alignment in May or June. Great people and expert service.
Fascinating video Mr Woodmiser is the real deal A wealth of knowledge indeed A great tutor too Very good bit of kit Mike I can just about see you working the night shift on this new bit 👍👍👍
When my buddy's dad passed 15 years ago we moved his father's wood mizer to a farm in Evans City, just north of your location. We used it and left it there for the farmer to use. I worked with his dad on the machine some years before on a project and both times the machine was sweet to use. He would place some Lestoil in the water jug to keep the resin down. And as long as you don't his metal you are good. Custom cuts are a cinch with these machines. Having the grapple is a real plus for you too.
I’ve been shopping and comparing sawmills for a couple of years now and the information and actually seeing how easy it was to set up and start running in this video has helped me to make up my mind on which brand I will be going with.
Mike; What a nice Sawmill. I've been watching a channel in central Pennsylvania: "Lumber Capital Log Yard". With their LT40. But, they also have an edger, so I've been looking at the Woodmizer EG-100 edger. I remember you going somewhere to see someone's "Dry It Klin". Myself, I would go with a Virginia Tech Solar Kiln, with a concrete radiant floor, as back-up.
Good morning Mike I'm so happy to see your new machine arrive That is going to make life easier Missed Melissa Tell her and gang hello and have a great weekend Tell Hunter hello God bless you all
That was a great video! I've been sawing on an LT50 for a couple of years and a few years with an LT40 before that and many years with an LT30 before that and I still learned several things! Thanks for making the video!
Marty usually an expert is someone away from home.. However in your case you are an EXPERT and I might add a gentleman with worlds of patience! I will never have one of these great machines but my goodness so much knowledge was shared. You deserve many curtain calls and standing ovations! as we say in NC.. You B da Man!
WOW! It is like you said... you will watch this video over and over. Sooo much information. I am sure by the time you saw everything coming up from West Virginia you will all be second nature to you. But, wow, what a lot to take in when you are new.
What a impressive piece and would justify a like price tag! I will never own a mill but have been around and sold machinery for years, what a tremendous "walk around"! Everyone will recognize this man's expertise! Grease zerks are less appealing with each generation but Wood-Mizer is giving the owner an opportunity to receive extended longevity if the machine is serviced/lubricated in a timely fashion! This is not today's disposable through away! Mike, thank you for such an interesting video.
Congrats on the new mill Mike. Little bit of a learning curve, but you will master it because you already have the basics down. Wow, Marty is a HUGE asset and a HUGE wealth of information. That is definitely the guy to learn from!
That is an amazing machine and Marty is super knowledgeable and thorough. You're going to be able to make a pile of lumber in a hurry with that bad boy! Dave
I get a clipboard and make a list of all your grease fittings and different stuff for ready reference quick at machine you can date everything you can date everything so you can keep it on track you going to be able to produce a lot of lumber with that machine Mike good luck
Great video. I have my first manual mill being delivered next. I’ve been taking all of my logs to a friend who has a woodmizer LT 40 with 10,000+ hours on it. Really cool watching it run the whole log from a control station like that. Congrats on your upgrade.
Good morning Mike, WOW!! The long awaited day for you and for all of us fans has finally arrived. To say this mill is an upgrade is just a little bit of an understatement, don't you think?? I use to always have a lot of my lumber custom sawn by a guy a few towns over. I was a log buyer and would select the best logs and I quarter cut a lot of my lumber. Some guys said I was wrong, but I just like the uniformity and stability in it and yes, I did have some plain sawn as well. I would go over and help of course and just had a great day in the process. While watching this video and being green with envy at the same time. I had a huge smile on my face and I'm pretty sure I could HEAR you smiling even bigger😊😊. You'll catch on to this pretty quickly and be going thru logs like crazy. I know the anticipation buying a new piece of equipment and finally getting your hands on it. So anxious and then a little fear of doing something and messing something up. I never had the opportunity to have an expert like Marty there with me on any of my things, but that also adds to the tension I bet. He sure seemed like a guy that loves his job and he'll be there when you need him. Your longest video that I'm aware of and for good reason, a BRAND NEW LT50 WIDE!!! Congratulations and take it slow. Look forward to you showing Tom the same things Marty showed you. See one, do one, teach one☺☺☺ Later, Ron
Nice mill ! 👍🏼 Mike, Marty has a lot of mannerisms and looks similar to you. Sure y’all aren’t kin ? Lol. Great video. I’m sure you’ll be pouring back over this one time and time again. I could tell you were trying to soak up as much info from Marty as possible. He has acquired a wealth of knowledge, that’s for sure
A day I've been looking forward to a year now is here! Yay!! Boy, what a super nice mill. Who the heck is going to finish filling up the firewood bunker now? Mike's gonna be cutting lumber! I'm so very happy for you Mike. Us too, cause now we are assured many more videos! Happy, happy days! Thanks Mike.👍🚜🙏❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congratulations on the new toy A lot of information, good thing you are recording it. Do you like where it discharges the saw dust or would like it on the other side for easy clean up?
GOOOOOOD APRIL FOOLS DAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!!…WHOO HOO!! Mike finally got his new saw & NO MORE CRUSHED FINGERS!! Very happy for Yinz Looking forward to seeing the many logs yinz will be cutting. Thanks for sharing Have a day HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
Good luck with the new machine. I’m sure you will be replaying that video often. Easier to use but more maintenance and things to check and follow up on. I’m sure you will master in no time. All the best!
Looking like a great machine and once your well acclimated the lumber will be flying for sure. For me, I would enjoy the simplexes of your old mill but hey, I'm a little past my prime ( so far past my prime, you could call me Mr. President). 😁 Marty really knows what's going on and will be a huge asset for you Mike. Enjoyed this one and can't wait to see more videos of your new mill.
I began to take interest in saw mills a few years ago... and at first I looked for people who built their own. I didn't know that lots of people buy these when they have a good use for them... anyway, I found 2 channels where they built their own. Matthew Cremona runs a woodworking channel, and he built a HUGE mill that will accept bigger logs than nearly any other mill... he's sort of a connoisseur of lumber... He runs a good channel. While he rarely uses his mill, I also found Heath and Cedar at Red Poppy Ranch, and it's become one of my favorite channels. Anyway, I thought I'd mention them as you content creators tend to work together sometimes. I found you through the Hauses. Enjoying your channel a lot... thanks for sharing.
Cremona's mill is impressive. Most people don't need anything that big though. What I like most about his channel is how he explains what's going on in the grain of those massive slabs he's making.
@@NSResponder - Yeah... that's why I called him a connoisseur... but I'm enjoying his many other videos too... his barn, his renovations, his shop organization. He truly is a master craftsman when it comes to making top notch furniture.
Mike what a great addition to the wood yard. I would use this video as a training guide also. A very nice demonstration by Marty. You'll get board standing there and letting the machine do all the work. Good luck with the new machine. Stay safe.
Wow Marty knows his machine. I’ve taken possession of a lot of machinery before for different companies and this is a very customer oriented turn over. I hate to say it but some companies throw you the keys and say good luck to ya. Marty definitely wants his customers to succeed with his machines and enjoy the experience!
I have a feeling this will personally be the video Mike Morgan watches the most over the next six months. Great tutorial and instructional video! Have fun with the new man glitter making machine :)
What a fantastic machine! I guess it will help your learning curve that you have so many hours on the manual mill. Since you don’t have to walk through the sawdust with this mill maybe you could find/build some kind if trough to catch it. Then pick it up with the skid steer to empty it. It’s good your favorite machine colors are orange and black! 😂. When Marty mentioned someone offbearing for you I recalled I was an offbearer in a big old growth mill after high school. I was actually the 2nd offbearer. My uncle was the 1st offbearer. The blade for that head rig were about 12 to 14 inches wide. I had a blast working in that mill with my uncle.
I would love to learn how to use a mill like this. It's something I think I would enjoy but I would definitely need a model like this one that is fully hydraulic. My back wouldn't allow me to run a machine if I had to position those logs manually like some of the cheaper entry level mills I have seen
Wow, Mike. You've got a lot to remember. But I'm sure you will be milling on this machine in no time. Great to have a knowledgeable instructor first to run you through the steps. As you said, you will be viewing this video several times. It was fun to watch you get lessons on your new toy, er machine.
Hey Mike, Craig here, I am located out in Utah & run a Lt 40 wide and a LT 50 wide. Just watched your set up video, I've been re- sawing older 8x8's into 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" x 20' You will want to put a laser level on you bed rail & diel it in perfectly level or you will struggle to get the same demotion at both ends of your can't! Just wanted to let you know I heard Marty say it didn't need to be perfect but it's a must for perfect cants, any way you can see my video I do on this very project next week. My wife helped me get my RUclips channel going a couple months ago. Nathan at OTW reaches out as well, he saw my mo260 post a few years ago and he ended up with one, I've helped him a little bit getting his up & going, supper guy. Your more than welcome to reach out & I will get you my # or Facebook. I would love any RUclips video tips for me as well. Beautiful mill & Saw safe buddy, I just subscribed to your channel 🧡
Wow! What a machine!! In addition to firewood, now you can sell premiun lumber as another side hustle. Can't wait until you really get into making lumber. This mill will save you a lot of time sawing as well. 👍🏻
Mike good morning to you and your family, love the new saw mill looks cracking you’ll be able to do a lot with that mill once pad poured you’ll not need to keep levelling should stay in situ, enjoyed that video Mike can’t wait to watch the ones when you start using mill properly. Keep them coming.
It was great that Marty spent the day with you and allowed all of us to watch his tutorial, and instructing you how to use the Wood-Mizer LT50. Thanks Marty!!!
Mike, I bet you felt like a kid in a candy store during that video. My only regret is you didn’t have a camera set out off to the side so we could all see the permanent grin on your face throughout the setup. Looking forward to many future sawing videos. Stay safe
HO-LEE SMOKES!!!!! Man, what a wild ride that was!! Marty is "the juice" on these things, Mike. And, I am so very glad you went to such lengths to get Marty's clear explanations on everything--not just the specs of the machine, but also a variety of conditions, errors, events that a sawyer might experience. I've never used a bandsaw and never even really watched one operate in person. However, from watching you and a few other folks with Wood Mizers, I am immensely impressed! Looking forward to lots and lots more videos of your making beautiful boards out of the trees on your property. By the way, I was salivating at the grain in that log! It would NEVER do for me to stand there beside your machine while you're cutting....and I had my checkbook in my pocket. Oh, Lordy! I'd put quite a strain on my shock absorbers as I rode back home with by treasure trove of wooden gold from your place!
I love the machine and having the ability to cut our own lumber to any thickness measurement we want. However, it is still a lot of money to spend and even more if financed. Lumber we saw ourselves still has to be stacked, dried out and planed and sanded to match the quality of store-bought finished lumber. PS: In many states lumber must be grade and certified stamped to use in house framing construction. I can see Homeowners insurance companies telling people when a storm takes down their house "sorry your claim is rejected and not covered because it was not constructed using Certified lumber." Or a Building Inspector saying 'sorry I cannot give you a Certificate of Occupancy because it was not constructed using Certified graded lumber.
I don't have a sawmill and not getting a sawmill, but that was interesting enough to watch it all. Camarata style, over hour vid. Nice! Good job, as usual.
It is a well thought out machine . The one thing I would have like to have seen is a centralized greasing location . Yes I think there would have to be a few seperate banks of fitting because of the moving carriage , and the distance between the components that require grease . But it would make that so much easier and a lot of value to the machine . Goodluck with the new machine Mike .
What a game changer this mill will be for you Mike. Fully hydraulic is sweet and not having to walk with it is great. Marty you are worth your weight is gold. Great video and looking forward to more videos of this mill.
Great video And Thank you Marty for your time and travel to deliver and demonstrate the new sawmill Also Thank you for thinking of me when I am working with Mike and the size of cut 😁 I look forward to working it
I would be glad to come back out and train you. Then Mike can be the off bearer. Since Mike received the training he will be ready to teach you. Let me know if your guys need help.

These machines are so well built, thought out, and solid. Marty was a wealth of knowledge, and champion employee for wood miser. Good luck with it Mike
What a stab!!!! Melissa: "it matches all of your other stuff!" Mike you do not know how lucky you are to have such a ground wire!
I’ve been looking at many LT50 videos. This is best one by far. Thanks for the knowledge.
Yea thats all Marty, I just kept filming trying to capture all that info
Good luck with the 50, I have purchased two mills from Marty over the last 12 years. I usually bring the mill out to Shade Gap for service and a full alignment in May or June. Great people and expert service.

Congratulations on the new sawmills. Greetings from Norway👍
Awesome, Congratulations Sir! I bet you will love it!
I could binge watch all your videos and I do😂 your awesome
Nice saw, Mike! Now all you need is an off cut table (maybe one with casters!) to catch the boards getting pulled back!
Mike; What a nice Sawmill. I've been watching a channel in central Pennsylvania: "Lumber Capital Log Yard". With their LT40.

You are very welcome, I have a lot to learn and will be going back and watching it again and again lol
Thanks for the extra long episode👌Congrats on the new saw! I’ve never seen somebody know their product line as well as Marty.
Marty usually an expert is someone away from home.. However in your case you are an EXPERT and I might add a gentleman with worlds of patience! I will never have one of these great machines but my goodness so much knowledge was shared. You deserve many curtain calls and standing ovations! as we say in NC.. You B da Man!
I think Marty has the best job at WoodMizer, because he gets to be there when people get their new mills.
That was an exciting video. The new mill, first cuts, the complete walk through was awesome. Marty is a great set-up and training guy!
WOW! It is like you said... you will watch this video over and over. Sooo much information. I am sure by the time you saw everything coming up from West Virginia you will all be second nature to you. But, wow, what a lot to take in when you are new.

I get a clipboard and make a list of all your grease fittings and different stuff for ready reference quick at machine you can date everything you can date everything so you can keep it on track you going to be able to produce a lot of lumber with that machine Mike good luck
Excellent video! I'm jealous! LOL Thanks Mike! Happy sawing!
Nice machine yeah Meyer engine. That’s what they run in John Deere’s. Good diesel motor.
Awesome machine!
Equally awesome songbirds singing!
Great video. I have my first manual mill being delivered next. I’ve been taking all of my logs to a friend who has a woodmizer LT 40 with 10,000+ hours on it.
Really cool watching it run the whole log from a control station like that.

Should keep the John Deere fans happy listening to this work. Great looking machine!
A day I've been looking forward to a year now is here! Yay!! Boy, what a super nice mill. Who the heck is going to finish filling up the firewood bunker now? Mike's gonna be cutting lumber! I'm so very happy for you Mike. Us too, cause now we are assured many more videos! Happy, happy days! Thanks Mike.👍🚜🙏❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love Marty! Clear, concise, and no nonsense about the information he provides. Great information!
Congratulations on the new toy
A lot of information, good thing you are recording it.
Do you like where it discharges the saw dust or would like it on the other side for easy clean up?
All I can say is WOW!
That's a beautiful new toy. I'm jealous of you Mike.
Nice saw, boy I would never remember all he told you.
Me either lol that’s why I recorded it
MIKE got a new toy .so MELISSA WHEN DOES THE NEW POOL GET PUT IN?
Think they both decided to hold off on pool
He looks like you Mike.
Pool = West Virginia property
Business before pleasure.
Don’t go there at present !
It’s been put on the back burner 🤗🤗
GOOOOOOD APRIL FOOLS DAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!!…WHOO HOO!! Mike finally got his new saw & NO MORE CRUSHED FINGERS!!
Very happy for Yinz
Looking forward to seeing the many logs yinz will be cutting.
Thanks for sharing
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
Good luck with the new machine. I’m sure you will be replaying that video often. Easier to use but more maintenance and things to check and follow up on. I’m sure you will master in no time. All the best!
Looking like a great machine and once your well acclimated the lumber will be flying for sure. For me, I would enjoy the simplexes of your old mill but hey, I'm a little past my prime ( so far past my prime, you could call me Mr. President). 😁
Marty really knows what's going on and will be a huge asset for you Mike. Enjoyed this one and can't wait to see more videos of your new mill.
I began to take interest in saw mills a few years ago... and at first I looked for people who built their own. I didn't know that lots of people buy these when they have a good use for them... anyway, I found 2 channels where they built their own. Matthew Cremona runs a woodworking channel, and he built a HUGE mill that will accept bigger logs than nearly any other mill... he's sort of a connoisseur of lumber... He runs a good channel. While he rarely uses his mill, I also found Heath and Cedar at Red Poppy Ranch, and it's become one of my favorite channels. Anyway, I thought I'd mention them as you content creators tend to work together sometimes. I found you through the Hauses. Enjoying your channel a lot... thanks for sharing.
Cremona's mill is impressive. Most people don't need anything that big though. What I like most about his channel is how he explains what's going on in the grain of those massive slabs he's making.
@@NSResponder - Yeah... that's why I called him a connoisseur... but I'm enjoying his many other videos too... his barn, his renovations, his shop organization. He truly is a master craftsman when it comes to making top notch furniture.
Unbelievable wealth of knowledge. I enjoyed watching him put the machine to work. Gonna be fun watching Mike get to know this mill. Congratulations
Mike what a great addition to the wood yard. I would use this video as a training guide also. A very nice demonstration by Marty. You'll get board standing there and letting the machine do all the work. Good luck with the new machine. Stay safe.
And Marty is a phone call and email away 👍.
Very nice machine! Bet it will end up a good bit quicker than the manual one.
Sounds like you have some Cardinals hanging out by the wood yard.
Nice machine
Wow Marty knows his machine. I’ve taken possession of a lot of machinery before for different companies and this is a very customer oriented turn over. I hate to say it but some companies throw you the keys and say good luck to ya. Marty definitely wants his customers to succeed with his machines and enjoy the experience!
I have a feeling this will personally be the video Mike Morgan watches the most over the next six months. Great tutorial and instructional video! Have fun with the new man glitter making machine :)
Marty so professional and warm hearten man. Good job there setting up this monster and thank you for showing some secrets of the trade.
What a fantastic machine! I guess it will help your learning curve that you have so many hours on the manual mill. Since you don’t have to walk through the sawdust with this mill maybe you could find/build some kind if trough to catch it. Then pick it up with the skid steer to empty it. It’s good your favorite machine colors are orange and black! 😂. When Marty mentioned someone offbearing for you I recalled I was an offbearer in a big old growth mill after high school. I was actually the 2nd offbearer. My uncle was the 1st offbearer. The blade for that head rig were about 12 to 14 inches wide. I had a blast working in that mill with my uncle.
Marty's explanation for the operation of the Wood Miser was excellent. GREAT video!
Well done to you both.👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would love to learn how to use a mill like this. It's something I think I would enjoy but I would definitely need a model like this one that is fully hydraulic. My back wouldn't allow me to run a machine if I had to position those logs manually like some of the cheaper entry level mills I have seen
Very nice machine Mike and having Marty on speed dial is a bonus. Looking forward to seeing it in operation.
Wow!
Wow, Mike. You've got a lot to remember. But I'm sure you will be milling on this machine in no time. Great to have a knowledgeable instructor first to run you through the steps. As you said, you will be viewing this video several times. It was fun to watch you get lessons on your new toy, er machine.
Hey Mike, Craig here, I am located out in Utah & run a Lt 40 wide and a LT 50 wide.
Just watched your set up video, I've been re- sawing older 8x8's into 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" x 20'
You will want to put a laser level on you bed rail & diel it in perfectly level or you will struggle to get the same demotion at both ends of your can't!
Just wanted to let you know I heard Marty say it didn't need to be perfect but it's a must for perfect cants, any way you can see my video I do on this very project next week.
My wife helped me get my RUclips channel going a couple months ago.
Nathan at OTW reaches out as well, he saw my mo260 post a few years ago and he ended up with one, I've helped him a little bit getting his up & going, supper guy.
Your more than welcome to reach out & I will get you my # or Facebook.
I would love any RUclips video tips for me as well.
Beautiful mill & Saw safe buddy, I just subscribed to your channel 🧡
Wow! What a machine!! In addition to firewood, now you can sell premiun lumber as another side hustle. Can't wait until you really get into making lumber. This mill will save you a lot of time sawing as well. 👍🏻
Mike good morning to you and your family, love the new saw mill looks cracking you’ll be able to do a lot with that mill once pad poured you’ll not need to keep levelling should stay in situ, enjoyed that video Mike can’t wait to watch the ones when you start using mill properly. Keep them coming.
Loved this video, what a fantastic mill you have bought. This is one of my favourite videos yet.
Yeah! I'd have to re-watch this video numerous times to get everything squared away in my head! Happy sawing, Mike!
Nice machine Mike! Hope all goes well, hello to Melisa, Hunter and Eva!
Take care and stay safe! God bless my friend!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, very informative and a lot of technology to learn there! So much goes into “just cutting a log”!
Spring is almost here!! Thank Goodness!
50 inches Mike???? that thing will handle Big Wood!!
It was great that Marty spent the day with you and allowed all of us to watch his tutorial, and instructing you how to use the Wood-Mizer LT50. Thanks Marty!!!
Well Mike what a great machine
Mike,
I bet you felt like a kid in a candy store during that video. My only regret is you didn’t have a camera set out off to the side so we could all see the permanent grin on your face throughout the setup. Looking forward to many future sawing videos. Stay safe
Marty has sure a wealth of knowledge. Looking forward to the 50 hr maintenance video. Happy sawing.
HO-LEE SMOKES!!!!! Man, what a wild ride that was!! Marty is "the juice" on these things, Mike. And, I am so very glad you went to such lengths to get Marty's clear explanations on everything--not just the specs of the machine, but also a variety of conditions, errors, events that a sawyer might experience.
I've never used a bandsaw and never even really watched one operate in person. However, from watching you and a few other folks with Wood Mizers, I am immensely impressed! Looking forward to lots and lots more videos of your making beautiful boards out of the trees on your property.
By the way, I was salivating at the grain in that log! It would NEVER do for me to stand there beside your machine while you're cutting....and I had my checkbook in my pocket. Oh, Lordy! I'd put quite a strain on my shock absorbers as I rode back home with by treasure trove of wooden gold from your place!
I love the machine and having the ability to cut our own lumber to any thickness measurement we want. However, it is still a lot of money to spend and even more if financed.
Lumber we saw ourselves still has to be stacked, dried out and planed and sanded to match the quality of store-bought finished lumber.
PS: In many states lumber must be grade and certified stamped to use in house framing construction. I can see Homeowners insurance companies telling people when a storm takes down their house "sorry your claim is rejected and not covered because it was not constructed using Certified lumber." Or a Building Inspector saying 'sorry I cannot give you a Certificate of Occupancy because it was not constructed using Certified graded lumber.
Nice upgrade Mike! And great demonstration by Marty. Fun to watch and learn.
Awesome video Mike! Before you know it, you could be selling these things yourself. BTW how’s Huntman? We haven’t seen much of him lately.
I don't have a sawmill and not getting a sawmill, but that was interesting enough to watch it all. Camarata style, over hour vid. Nice! Good job, as usual.
It is a well thought out machine . The one thing I would have like to have seen is a centralized greasing location . Yes I think there would have to be a few seperate banks of fitting because of the moving carriage , and the distance between the components that require grease . But it would make that so much easier and a lot of value to the machine . Goodluck with the new machine Mike .
What a game changer this mill will be for you Mike. Fully hydraulic is sweet and not having to walk with it is great. Marty you are worth your weight is gold. Great video and looking forward to more videos of this mill.
Great video
And
Thank you Marty for your time and travel to deliver and demonstrate the new sawmill
Also
Thank you for thinking of me when I am working with Mike and the size of cut
😁 I look forward to working it
Good morning Melissa , happy Caturday 😸😺
I would be glad to come back out and train you. Then Mike can be the off bearer. Since Mike received the training he will be ready to teach you. Let me know if your guys need help.
I watched you setup your first Woodmizer, nice new unit. Looking forward to some serious log milling!
