When I mill a high value log to be slabbed , I use my electric pressure washer and spray both faces. Then take a pic . Now I have a pic of what the wood will look like when surfaced and finished. The pic is available right now to show potential clients. Now all you have to do is dry the wood , mark them per picture # so you can find it easy. No more "show me all of those 300 slices of wood so I can think about it" . You have digital pics to show them that will be a far better representation of the color and figure of the slices . Now the pics do show FLAT boards ,, not what the board may look like after it is dried .You can send out 1000 pics of the boards but you cant show 1000 boards without allot of very low pay work.
I have to second the pictures off the mill. It doesn't take a whole lot of time, and you can just scribble numbers on the end of your slabs which match the default numbering scheme of your camera. Not only does it help you sell it to your customers, but it also saves the sanity when you remember a specific log you cut 2 years ago but can't for remember where it is or if you ended up selling it,
FWIW, the music you choose for your videos is simply wonderful. And the part that few will notice is that you take the effort to make sure that the music is *just the right* level. Not blaring, not wildly fluctuating, not too much or too little when the tools are running...and when your dialogue comes in and out -- the levels are normalized..
This is just one small thing that makes your videos truly pro-level. As for me, I absolutely know how much work that takes, and I thank you for doing it.
For another note, your teaching is solid, your information is solid, and I am 100% hooked on watching your channel.
Thanks for all you do.
An oldie and goldy from the past
I like your videos, there's always a doosh somewhere waiting to try to ruin somebody's day and probably jealous cause they don't have a mill. Don't let them win, keep posting and helping me learn lol
Amen to that!
You spelled douche wrong... lol
I enjoy watching how much care and thought you put into each log and your final results
I just think that the people who have given a thumbs down on your videos are people who just don't enjoy the wood works of a mill or beauty of live edge lumber I like and enjoy your videos thanks for letting us view them
Well said!
I've recently discovered this fine young man and I'm an instant fan. I used to love cutting up trees years ago. He gives Bob Ross a run for his money in the ASMR department. These wonderful videos fill me with a sense of wonderment and serenity. Top-notch videographer too
Without going to the expense of purchasing another tool, you can get similar results by attaching a hook and loop backing plate to an angle grinder. I didn't know anyone made them 'till I found one this past summer. Now I use it a lot. I enjoy all your videos and love the music you add to them!
I get a real bang out of your comments about keeping the slabs
after you sand them and other thi gs you said!!!
Great video... nice to see your channel growing. Another thing you can do right off the mill is, after dusting off the slab, use a piece of heavy chalk to give it an inventory number, then wet it and snap a quick picture. You can still read the chalk through the stain, and you can show what it looks like underneath wetted out before it headed into the kiln.
Good things to think about. Presentation says a lot. Putting your best foot forward is always a wise choice. Thanks for the video.
I really enjoyed this video and I learned a lot about making and cleaning up slab wood. Thanks for being a great teacher Nathan. Cheers Scott Sherwood
I randomly watched one of your videos a few years ago and I recently purchased some land, a tractor and now looking into buying my first sawmill. Keep making videos!
That is awesome!
Wanted to say thanks for all the shared knowledge. The stickers I ordered just came in today. I will post a pick of them proudly displayed on my trailer shop wall.
Thank you brother, good tip; and I like your relaxed style of communicating.
love how you think of the customer and want to deliver your best! ive been a cabinet maker all my working career since 96. i'm watching to learn butt, i see something that's gonna cost ya. if ya mostly use the edge of your disk, your rounding the base to where it aint flat anymore. besides, you could probably surface real close to flat with that thing. i do want to start a little saw mill here soon. i apreciate you showing us what youve learned. don't stop
I just came back and watched this again. This is super helpful! I am going to look into something like this to take my game to the next level. Congrats on your success and over 23k subscribers! Until next time my friend, take care.
I'm new here , i love the way you presented it, and shown the different ways to start working the wood.
Thanks Ken appreciate you watching
I would like to offer a second option to quickly clean the surface - and one which might save your lungs a bit (even outside, I hate dealing with that much sanding...). I think it is Triton who makes one right now - but a large hand held power planer. Their planer is about 7" wide. Set your cut pretty shallow and with 3 or 4 passes you can clean up several square feet of the face...in a few minutes you can surface an entire 8' slab. Don't recall the prices, but you can probably pick up 2 or 3 for the same price as the Festool.
Along the same lines (though a bit more pricey and harder to find is something like the Makita 12" hand plane. They are sold mainly for timber framers - but they do a treat for saw mills too to quickly knock the mineral stains off the wood from the kiln.
I have learned a lot from your videos and hope you are blessed by your work. Thanks.
You run the best sawmill Channel on RUclips thanks for all the tips and tricks of the trade
I appreciate that!
Always good information, it’s a plus when you learn how to add value
One of the early ones I have seen. You are still knocking out of the park
You are a very considerate fellow and I enjoy your excellent videos. I own A woodmiser LT 40 hydraulic for my own use and appreciate learning from a man who does this for a living.
Thanks Jesse. I appreciate you watching
Great idea.. I an going to start mine once I build my saw mill
Very nice tip. And nice of you to share it. You know it's the little things that can differentiate you from your competition. Gotta do the extras that nobody else wants to do. Great video
Thanks I appreciate it, thank you for the feedback,
Pratts Greenhouse agree
Thanks again for another great video, very informative. I'm looking to buy property and begin wood working as a hobby.
You are a good man. You help us working people. Thanks.
thanks Edward,
Very glad I watched the video! Didn't know about the tool you used until now! Thanks
Good deal. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming!
We use a 3"×21" belt sander with 36 grit ceramic belts that works pretty good. I can see how this tool could be handy on a lot of other projects though! Good video!
Thanks. Never tried the bells sander. I’m sure it gives a similar result. Thanks for watching!
Well done! You answered every question I had!
Great video as always. I used to use my RAS in my chair making but has been collecting dust under my bench for 5+ years
Thanks, how did it do compared to other tools for the seat? I might take this by Curtis Buchanan's shop for a test run by him sometime. If I can get him to put his adze away.
Out of the Woods it wasn’t as strong as an angle grinder with an aggressive wheel like Kutzall. The RAS works and is great for dust control but takes a lot longer for carving seats in hardwood.
They cleaned up real nice!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Yes they did. Thanks for watching
Best channel on RUclips. I appreciate you greatly.
thank you, that made my evening,
I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Nice looking slabs bud!
Thanks! Glad you benefit from this. Thanks for watching.
I’m new to your website and found it to be very informative and well presented! Needless to say I’m a new subscriber. Well done! Looking forward to more videos 👏
Thanks Dan, glad to have you around, I appreciate your time,
You did a very good job explaining this out you did a very good presentation really like the way those boards turned out awesome job
thank you, I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching!
Great information Nathan, much better to see the cleaned up side! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
👍thanks buddy. Appreciate you watching
Thanks for sharing my friend, this is one tool that will come in handy down the road, thanks again and have a blessed week.
You 2. Thanks for watching
I sell a lot of slabs . I like to sand and clean them up before I show them . Standing slabs upright also makes customers shopping easier . Good video as usual .
Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks this is good advice. Have a small Saw Mill in Manitoba Canada. We can cut 24”. Just started selling. We mostly have Burr Oak up here it’s quite beautiful.
I bet that is some nice timber! Thanks for watching!
Nathan This is one of the best vids you have put out yet . Very uninformative all the right information , well done . Wood workers will get a lot out of it , you have excelled again . I wish I was there to see it all happening , the vid quality is improving all the time , and the content will have a lot to give for many years to come ..
Thanks Bob, I appreciate that comment, doing my best up here, Thanks for watching,
Appreciate the video. Simple and informative. Thanks,
Super video! Great advice! Have subscribed and look forward to your future videos! Thanks for taking the time and effort to be a great teacher!
Thanks Phillip!
Looks great TFP! BTW, I've always wondered why people hit dislike for most videos; why not just click out? Glad to see I'm not the only one wondering about it. Now to find your videos on building a kiln...
Awesome video sir very helpful to me as always. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jack. Glad you benefited from it. Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video. It was helpful and you do a great job at explaining things. Keep up the good.
thanks Roger,
Wow! Those slabs are beautiful!
Thanks!
I use a sand paper cleaner from harber freight and your pads will last 10 times longer !!!! It's like a large gum eraser! And it works great!
Love your work brother, great tip on the sander!
Thanks Peter,
100% agree with everything you just said! I do this with a normal angle grinder and sending pad, does a perfect job. The longer the strokes are are the better the finish, and I try not to pause the pad on the wood, because it will leave divots on the surface! I just lift away the end of the stroke and back while the tool is moving.
Great video
Cheers
Thanks. Looks like an angle grinder would have been the cheaper route to go here. I will have to try that one day. Thanks for watching
Szilard Pinter agree
It's one of Festool's cheapest sanders though certainly more $$ than an angle grinder. If you don't use the dust collection capability it may not make sense. Have you tried putting something like an Oneida Dust Deputy cyclone ahead of your dust extractor? I mounted one on top of my CT-26 (they're made to fit perfectly) and it's effective enough for indoor use with my Festool sanders, routers, jigsaw, and tracksaw. Or possibly use a hand-held power planer? I've cleaned up lots of weathered reclaimed wood that way.
Szilard Pinter great advise. Normal grinders run at 10000 rpm. I’m sure the one shown runs less than 5000. Definitely going to give it a whirl. ( probably a swirl too)
A wire cup brush on the angle grinder will do the same thing and never wear out. I just keep a block plane in my pocket and show them how quickly the staining comes off.
you are correct, everyone wants live edge slabs! Good video as always,
agreed, thanks for watching,
Well done !
Thanks Cody.
Your videos are awesome and informative I thank you very much you're the reason I bought my mill
Great to hear!
Cool...
Yea that area is beautiful,
I'm buying a mill today and hope in maine I can find a good contract too sell my product. I love your show keep up the good work bud. I miss Tennessee lol.
WOW. That tool really is a beast!
Yes it is. Thanks for watching
I've got a mobile dimension mill ...AND a grandberg Alaskan mill ...gotta git em busy ...thanks for the inspiration
Good Deal Brian, Saw On! thanks for watching, I appreciate it,
Awesome video thank you! Keep making videos! 😎👍
That sander works amazing. Wow.
It sure does. A great tool
Another gem of information and a great video!
Festool does make fantastic tools and for what its worth, the Festool Rotex sander is a better option to me. It has a larger surface area and two sanding modes, the option of aggressive and random orbital is great and both modes perform flawlessly. Sometimes tools that are multifunctional, don't perform well at every function they are marketed for, but that Rotex sander is definitely an exception.
Keep the great videos rolling Nate! Out of the woods!!!👍
Thanks Buddy, I appreciate the feedback!
I have that 6” festool Rotex sander. It is a beast of a sander. And it would do great for you with much less ripples. But on gear mode it can get away from you and wobble you a little. But still worth it. I own many festool tools and my admiration is limited to Track saw and sanders. I really don’t care for the chop saw, jig saw, or the big drills. The 90° attachment for drills is nice though. Just no rpm’s.
Anyway I am running on.
I loved your video.
Enjoy your videos keep on keepin on. Be safe and smile.
Thanks Guy. Appreciate you watching
Great info Nathan thanks for sharing pricing that has always been a guessing game with the slabs I sell. Most of my sales has become slabs. You bet first impressions are very important in selling slabs if they look good they will sell.
Thanks for watching sir. I appreciate the feedback. 👍
Couldn't agree more about people being so anxious to hit the dislike button. LOL. I couldn't afford a Festool but I did happen to order relatively the same tool made by Bosch yesterday. It is the 1250 DEVS. I am a painting contractor and will be using it to refinish wood floors and prep cabinets for painting as well as using it on the heavy-duty mode for Wood home Exteriors.
I looked at that Bosch also, looks like a very similar tool. hope it does the job for you, thanks for watching!
New to the channel came from The Tradesman Channel and I am glad i did very nice.
good to have you buddy, thanks for watching,
Great tip. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos too!
Thanks for watching!
Another option would be a drum sander. Supermax makes a 19-38 drum sander. Bet you can find a used one at a reasonable price. Also there are sanding and sculpting attachments for disc grinders which cost a lot less.
I'm amazed at how quickly you dressed up those slabs. I'll bet you make up the cost quickly in your sale price. Nicely done.
Thanks, That tool will chance my marketing ways for sure, the first two slabs paid me back for the tool in increased $.
Thanks for watching, how is the weather up there? Looks like we are back up in the 60s next week,
Still up and down with temps. Decent sized snow storm coming in for today.
I use my belt sander with a fine grit belt and move it in direction of the wood grain.
Cool I’m getting a mill soon for homesteading log cabin and maybe some business endeavors. Thank you for the video 😁
good deal, appreciate you watching
We love you man. The videos are great!
Thanks Rob, back at ya!
Rob B agree
That's beautiful wood... as a finisher I can see the potential of a properly finished product just by seeing the grain of the wood. Although that's not my preferred method to make the grain pop, you can always refer to the old saying "there's more than one way to skin a cat". Plus that festool looks like it's fun to use. Good job.
The Festool is a beast! Leaves a nice finish in the wood. Thanks for watching
Nice, very informative.
Quite the difference in the appearance of the slab after it's been sanded. I'm sure running a standard handheld belt sander over it with a very coarse grit belt would get a similar result just as fast.
WOW brother that tool sure does work fast at removing the wood and the stains!! Any tips you want to share with the channel I know there are quite a few folks that will benefit from them. Cant wait for the next video!
Thanks Tey. Appreciate the feedback.
Nice...thank you for the heads up.
Anytime. Thanks for watching
My brother turned me on to your channel. You do a great job with your videography and music. Great job on the channel.
Thanks Joseph, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my videos, Thank you,
Excellent video Nathan.
Thanks Rags!
Rag Tie agree
agreed
We use a 20” planer with a helix head for most stock off the woodmizer. For larger boards we use the Lucas mill with the planing and sanding attachments.
that Lucas looks nice, would love to have that,
Thumbs up ! Good clean up method.
thanks!
I know this is a 4 yr old vid. but another good option at a great savings ran on AIR...
Harbor has a "Geared" 6" orbital sander and with 36/40 grit it is a Beast.
This is not like the standard "Palm Orbitals" this unit is kinda built like a side grinder or angle grinder, low RPM's but Torque'y. and not as much dust kicked up due to it's slower turn.
and its slow enough you can hold it flat and not gouge or have very bad scratches like holding the festool at an angle.
Great video.
Hey all From Newfoundland ! Getting a mill in two months hopefully, hm130. Great videos , no BS, just the facts and tips, keep em coming OTW!
Thanks! Good to hear from you buddy. Thanks for watching 👍
Great tip! Thanks!
You bet!
So basically a 4 1/2 " angle grinder with a sanding pad & disk. Milwaukee or DeWalt have long-lasting service in their tools also I just picked up a new.Jupiter pneumatic 7 in grinder/sander. I'm kind of partial to air tools.. I made my living using tools. A standard angle grinder will do just fine and the cost is a bunch lower. keep up the great work. !!!!!!
Awsome info. I've been sawing for twenty years and my first ten, mostly 4/4 or 5/4 for grade, saving the center slabs for myself but now since the live edge craze took off, those center cut slabs bring a better price that the grade sawn...hope the trend last for a few years, until my body gives out because small scale sawmilling has become truly lucrative, not just profitable, especially for folks with the marketing savvy like in your presentation...just don't tell everyone. lol
I agree totally Dale, respect,
A grinder of a sander!! Nice
Just found your channel, this is the first video I've seen from you: job well done! You are easy to listen to, give good tips, this video was fun to watch...you've earned another subscriber. :)
Question: does air drying lumber also leave those markings or is it only kiln drying? Can you set the kiln to less heat over a longer period of time to avoid these stains?
thanks, appreciate it,
air drying also causes those stains, and good question on the heat, I am not sure about that one,
I'd be using a old drum floor sander, it would sand it real fast but you really have to stay moving so it doesn't burn a groove in your slab.
Cool sander. Although a floor sander might be even faster. Great videos btw. I learn a lot about milling from your content.
Good to hear 👍👍
Love the videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks Clint, go Dawgs!
GO DAWGS!
Well the 👍🏻 are working never heard of you till now
Now I’m a subscriber
hi great video with usefull advice which is rare these days ! i just wonder if you could jet wash the surface clean it might be worth a try i dont know just a thought
Great video as a female in this business part-time I get mistaken for a fool all the time. Thanks for sharing videos with us!
thanks Gina, what type of saw do you run?
thanks a lot for this video. I am buying a band saw preliminary to build a barn on the farm. but I am thinking about maybe building some mini barns and i was thinking about some slab benches. I wish I had access to some nicer trees for the slabs. ll be watching more of your material thanks again
good deal, thanks for watching,
Hey thanks brother, as always a great video. I've got several big walnuts to mill here in the next few days and as you know it's like a Christmas present. Buy the way you have 342 views already and not a single dislike lol. Your competitors must have found this helpful and decided to like it instead. As always brother thanks.
Send me those juicy walnut logs. I could saw them all day. Take care. Thanks for watching buddy.
Diversified Acres Homestead agree
I do the same thing but with a hand held belt sander. It don't leave any swirl marks on the slab try it I think you'll be impressed.
Tim Cupp Atkinson Ga
Great info thanks for your time
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks! Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching
