@eze7524.Morning_Wood_Farms Thanks Morning Wood; they can be useful, but I don't use my enough some years. On the other hand, there's not a single store-bought stick of lumber in my house or in dad's barn (and many other little shacks around the farm). The home-made lap siding jig was to avoid buying metal siding every time I wanted to build some outdoor shack. The smoke house was one of the first ones with lap siding; curing bacons/hams, it's like a picture from 100 years ago.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 nothing like rough sawn lumber and true 2x's. Easy math. 😆 I use a lot of reclaimed barn wood when I can. I'm a rustic style person.
@@eze.Morning_Wood_FarmsRight!! Only problem: Gotta go with bigger fasteners to reach through and, if you desire to use them, store-bought hangers won't work for rafters, etc.... I end up sawing most to nominal size for the board Foot savings and cheaper fasteners. I also waaay prefer rustic over drywall or modern trends... mostly 'cause, with my wood-butchering (lack of ) skills, rough cut goes good with a rough carpenter that trades out chainsaws for one with a shorter bar and sharper chain for cabinetry and finish-work. 😉😉
Those are very fine slices of wood by the machine! I like how your camera setup follows you, and I can hear you clearly. Also, I appreciate the high bit rate upload of the video quality! Please have a wonderful day♡!
@sky.hunter Thanks Sky! To be forthright, the camera was stationary, and I had to zoom.pan within the zoomed frame. It probably took 8 hours to edit that video... I'm super stoked someone/you noticed and enjoyed it. Hope your day is all Aces, too!
Nice educational video. I already knew everything but a refresher didn't hurt. The only thing i'd do different is install a sky hook to move the cut boards. But that's just me. I always try and work smarter rather than harder on the rare occasions I work at all.
@MikeLouder1 Great tip, Mike! I like the fact that you, like me, can usually spot the deficiencies in a system; I like that you, not only point out the problems, but also offer a reasonable solution. I also thought about about dragging the shed a little closer to the sawmill to save a few steps. I further thought about finding a log with woodpecker holes so the boards would be predrilled for easy nailing. There's a LOT of room for improvement. 😜
I can understand that but heck there are videos with thousands or even millions of views of the most mundane things. I bet if you had a nice crackling fire going for hours without even saying a word people would listen/watch to meditate or fall asleep to it. I’m sure it’s probably already a video on here somewhere, I haven’t looked. You’re almost at 300 subscribers. Enjoy this every step of the way because it will never be like this again. I don’t think I’ve ever started watching anyone else’s channel so early on and I’m enjoying it very much myself. I’m one step closer to going online, got a GoPro hero 8.
@FarmlessFarmer-xs1he I get the mundane things; I think they must have the subscribers FIRST or pay to promote it... but who knows. I know that I can watch Ironhorse, Buckin, and a lot of the others if they were to video themselves taking a nap because I've enjoyed so much of their content, I watch with anticipation of learning something else. Can't wait for you to go online. You've already got subscriber(s)! Yessir!! Bumping 300. Baby steps though, I actually placed milestones at 250 and 275 😁
I agree on watching those guys. I’d watch them recording themselves taking a trip to the store. I was very disheartened when I came back to RUclips after a year+ absence to see Ironhorse in poor health and Kensie had taken down his channel and the Facebook group which was the only one I belonged to at the time. I took a break from saws and naively thought everyone would be there in the same spot so I could pick up where I left off. So I went looking for other channels. Finding yours was a real treat especially after experiencing the attitudes of some others on here.
@FarmlessFarmer-xs1he I *have* watched Buckin go to the mailbox, Ironhorse go to get hay, etc... I never was exposed to Kensie (although heard the name on others' channels). Hope Harvey gets to feeling better and gets back into the mood to make videos; I KNOW it's very time consuming and sometimes you just have to put the camera down and get some work done. Was busily productive all day today and never took camera off of the charger... had to get some stuff done. There're some poor attitudes in the community; I guess it might be part of their allure? I started watching one a few months ago and something is always someone else's fault. A vid of his interested me today; clicked on it; watched for about 5 seconds and he was already calling someone derogatory names... clicked off; probably won't make that mistake again. Maybe you and I can fill a little void; anxiously awaiting you to get up and running.
That jig seems to work nicely. I would have wasted a month worth of figuring designing a center pivot system and never got anything built. Tell us more about mosquito pelts and that edger next time. If you get tired of farm life you could make it as a comedian. I enjoy your comedy as much as your knowledge sharing.
@Kevin.L_ I didn't think center-pivot would be steady enough. Glad you enjoy my warped/dry sense of humor. My co-workers, at the job from which I retired, loved/hated my sense of humor... it was all fine and dandy until we were stuck in serious situations and I would (straight faced) mumble/whisper something that amused me... I remember my boss(es) having to walk away from a bad situation cussing/laughing at me under their breath trying to keep their composure. Life is WAAAY to short to take myself too serious... and I will nearly ALWAYS be the first to make fun of myself; if somebody beats me to it, that's fine too. I can take it and dish it out. Thanks for the comments, Kevin; I enjoy bantering with ya.
@Archer_82 Thanks Archer; I've built a few small buildings using lap siding (steer hut, smokehouse, etc...) and I like it so far. Out-of-pocket expense is way lower than using metal siding/roofing (aka "tin"). Using Openshot Video Editor on the vids. There's probably better/more user-friendly programs, but I am starting to get the hang of it. I was using Clip Champ, but it was SOOO slow. Openshot is a little faster, but zoom, pan, etc... is all typed-in inputs (X zoom 150, Y zoom 150, X location -.2 and Y location .4). I have found that play-back gets slower and slower with each "effect" (such as volume, zoom, pan, brightness, etc...) It's a free download though and does not require internet connection like Clipchamp does. It does keep cookies on my computer and I have not figured how to delete them yet; after a while, the whole system seems slower; so, I delete the download and re-download it. I probably had 8-10 hours in editing THAT video. I "relax" in the evening with a computer on my lap and do that instead of watching TV etc. That vid took @4 hours to render once I was done editing it, but I just put it on the desk and go about my day or go to bed. Not really "recommending" it, but it's free, fairly easy to use, and it's the best I've found to this point.
@rexhavoc2982 I have (and will again) give an overview of it; I have most of the video recorded of its build and will get that together at some point. Not sure how to do video of the spreadsheet build yet though. Also, they Horsepower part of the dyno is doing real well, but I am still tweaking on the heat measuring part. I've been waiting until I have it just how I want it before doing video of its build; I don't want a poor version of the video which may include problems. The video which I'm editing now (probably be release NEXT week as it takes me a bit to edit) may show what you want to see on the dyno because I do show the operation of it better. I also give a short explanation of the readouts. Thanks for being here and thanks for joining-in; I'm glad you too the time to comment.
Cool stuff. I'll never own a sawmill but love watching this stuff.

That’s an awesome jig for cutting siding. Love watching the mill work.
@FarmlessFarmer-xs1he Thanks Farmless. To me, it seems hard to video without it being stagnant and boring.
I can understand that but heck there are videos with thousands or even millions of views of the most mundane things.

@@HayChaffandSawdust1I can imagine you being entertaining on the job. You've got a great attitude and found a good way to share it here. Thanks.
@Kevin.L_ Thanks! I seem to be able to make work go by a little quicker for everyone.
Looks like a great use of time and energy. What program are you using to edit your vids? Something simple and effective?
