Great tunes !!!! Crocus are up , but will be a while before we cut any grass . We are stating home , thankfully we have lots to keep us busy , Shed is really coming along . Bring on the sawmill. !!!!! Hello to Hunter !!
If you put in corrugated roof - be sure to screw down through the peak of the wave if done in the valley, those will drain water inside every time it rains. We had a roof replaced with the old and it was flipped over - inside fire was bad and it was smoked... Now all of the old holes drain and the screws leak as well. Love this work sharing.
It's a LVL beam Mike. It's an engineered beam for long spans and they are strong like bull. Great for your large opening for the mill shed. Wish I had half the machinery you have, and a partner who's not afraid to break a nail or two.
Mike & Melissa - Another winner. Thanks for sharing. I'm proud to be one of the new subscribers to Melissa's channel. Blessings to you both, and to the family. Hi to Hunter.
LVL- laminated veneer lumber. Typically 1 3/4 " thick, widths from 9 1/2" on up. There is also a glulam, 2 x 6 laid flat and glued up. Save some money and saw out a white oak timber from your farm. I sawed out one for my log house garage. It is a clear span center beam with I-joists over it for a full open room above. The beam measures 9" x 14" x 26'. I have an MSG Mini Mill. I can cut 36' timbers. Bought it for my log home business years ago at the Paul Bunyon Show.
I'm sitting watching you work. Your woodshed roof rafters, the bottom of the rafter should rest on the wall or beam. The notch at the bottom of roof readuces the size of the rafter it looks to be 1" plus. 16" oc helps or and add another board on the back wall to support the rafter. You'll have to get access now, so sell some wood ! Keep on keeping on. I'm getting up to mow the lawn
Greetings from No VT - As a woodworker I definitely relate to the wood smells comment. That red pine is awesome, you are so fortunate you started milling that. The straight and tall trees are yielding some premium lumber for your projects. Both Melissa's videos were excellent content and well done, keep up the good work. It is a nice balance to the original Outdoors channel.
You guys are a well oiled machine on the sawmill, a great team. It was like I was there in person, a good perspective; off in the distance to see you guys in action and to see the whole operation. I have to save my money to buy a sawmill like yours, now I just suffer it out with a chainsaw for my boards, posts, and framing lumber. I better get back to work on my newest chicken coup...*
Had a good weekend. got the blower put away, please no more snow, got the zero turn cleaned and set for spring and got the splitter out. Just got home from work and heading outside to do some splitting. "Quarantined " to the property and "essential work".
Dear Morgan's... just for info if u r willing to seal the logs , u can use the used motor engine oil ... use it like paint with brush and seal both side ... that way u can protect ur logs from mildew, and stain .... moreover u can melt the white cork with thiner and seal ur logs with .... that way u can recycle the rubbish materials and use it for something useful and save ur money ....
I enjoy both channels and what you do for the most part I do too or have done. Things done with humor are so much better than the same thing done very seriously.
Mike I would not build a shed for my woodmizer till I buy your last one and that will be the LX450. Good Morning to you and yours. It is a beautiful day if only I didn’t have to work today from the Kiln,MS.
Mike, I see the sense in sealing the ends of freshly cut logs, but you then mill the lumber and square of the end and cut to length without sealing the cut edge!
Go twice as big for the saw shed. You will not regret it! I built a 40 by 50 ft building and it is full. My buds said go bigger and now I see they were right.
Who else thought that the end of that one log reminded them of finding sand dollars at the OBX? Keep up the great work!! Melissa I’ve subscribed to your page! Love the scare of Mike! Love the dance moves with Eva and the workout with Hannah! Like I tell my college age son, Keep doing you!!! Say hello to Hunter!
Hello Mike and Melissa, could you imagine here in my region south of Quebec city near Maine border we still have 1 to 2 feet of snow in the forest, no way to do what you are doing and main door were island my ATV in stucked in the ice, a-t least we are happy to see you in your vids. Here the virus is not too bad, wife family and friends are ok but we're a lost of cautions, so take care friends Andreas Have a nice day Tyrrs.
I just went out yesterday (Sunday) and picked up some pressure treated wood to get ready to start building a 8'x16' floor for a wood storage shed. I am tired of my firewood getting damp and hard to burn from just being on skids and under a tarp. For just the floor framework, the pressure treated wood cost about $200. I still will have to get the wood to go on top of the floor frame. Then, I will start onto the walls and then the roof. I have to get the wood a little at a time as I am disabled and don't have a lot of money. It will take a little time, but I will slowly get there a little each month.
Mike, don’t waste your money on a laminated beam. Saw up a couple 2x12. Buy a sheet of 3/4 plywood and some construction adhesive. Stagger the seams, glue and nail it together. We did it all the time when I was a kid and the houses are still standing.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, great video as usual ! Really looks good around there and the build is coming along great. Your weather is real good. Sure enjoyed your second video Melissa, you’re doing a great job with the channel and videos 👍👍. Thanks to both of you folks for sharing with us, we do enjoy your videos. Fred.
Mike, good thinking on using latex paint as a Iens grain protectant. I keep my eyes peeled while in the Big Box stores paint dept. customers return a lot of paint for a closer match and like ten cents on the dollar. Thanks again for sharing this video. Full of interesting info. From Central Texas, Have A Day.
I watched video #6 from 2016 yesterday - It interesting how you all have changed in the last 4 years - I will be sure to check out the new video on Melissa’s channel - have a great day - it is beautiful here this morning in Central PA - Watching your videos while working from home - Cheers
Here at High Rock Lake in central NC, we have Eastern Yellow long leaf Pine and White Pine. Our firewood is Red Oak, White Oak, and Post Oak. Hickory burns fast, and leaves a lot of coals and is Primary for grilling and that one of a kind, Lexington BBQ. For some reason, our Cherry trees are dying out along with the Dogwoods. Some sort of blight, or tree C-19. Now as far as Elm,,,, S-wood. Keep up the great work, and don't forget to spoil the Grand Kiddo. oz
Melissa' warming up nicely here in Western North Carolina.My wife has been swimming for a couple of weeks in our outdoor pool heated with a wood burning pool heater.
Mike, I opened up a 26 foot wall in my shop years ago in a load bearing wall. Two lvl sandwiched together 1 1/2 thick , 24 inches tall , 26 feet long. Two beams carried the load of second floor and another roof.
Woot woot giveaways. Congrats on all your channel growth. I’m happy to say I have witness your growth from the first still frame videos to today. Can’t wait to see Melissa’s channel do the same. Turning the log on the mill Is Melissa’s favorite part because she is a beast and gets to manhandle the log and show it who is the boss.
Im glad to be working but this weather makes it hard go. I would much rather be messing around on the farm and putting some hrs on the RK55. Stay well, say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have you considered putting the skidding winch on the RK37 and use that as your logging tractor for the summer season? Of course finish digging your post holes for the sawmill shed and the wood drying shed.
Melissa, caught that remark of "Nightmare on Elm Street" from your take of the smell of the Elm Trees. Quick you is. Never smelled Elms, they not on my bucket list of things to do. Mike, that's a good replacement that latex paint for sealing the butts of the cut trees. Y'all be careful still up there and have a day.
I cant remember if you have done it but have you tried to move them wood totes with RK37? Also do you have fluid in any of the tractors? One last thing could you have a video with that homemade traiter hitch that someone made for you? I would like to build one and really like how that was set up so would like to have one more look at it. Thanks have a day
You can also use a 50/50 mixture of water and carpenter's glue to seal the ends (3 Coats) for long storage and air drying, do not use oil base paints it will stain the wood. Have a Day
Great illustration of tree-felling "kickback" in the intro, today; why it's a good idea to "beat-feet," when the tree topples over! :) Melissa, you're killing it with your iPhone-edited vids; don't worry about "thumbs-down." Everybody's a critic -- especially people who've never put themselves out there, tried anything new, or risked exposing themselves to hurt. What we love about all of these efforts is that they're the product of REAL PEOPLE, not phonies who "test-market" everything they produce. We feel safe because the Morgan family is the real deal.
Hey Mike, Make sure the future saw mill shed has adequate clearance to get your machines in and out . A few extra feet above and on the sides may eliminate a future “ what was I thinking “ Looking forward to seeing that project.
Around here we call one type of elm the slang for 'urine'. P--- elm. Smells like it too! Plus it is very sappy. You can burn it if you let it cure for a long time. It will put out a fire while green. But I wouldn't recommend burning in a fireplace. Two reasons. One it will snap and pop sending ambers everywhere and two it does give off that lovely odor while burning.
Would a small conveyor belt under the saw dust chute help you to get it out of the way maybe with an extension of the chute just so you have a place to walk
This wood sheds looks great! Wath is happening with the RK tractor deal? And the cabin in the woods? Really nice contents as always! Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the next project! I like the evolution of the wood from the tree to the wood sheds! Hi Hunter! Stay safe!
SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE: Mike - I have a friend that is a great carpenter, wood carver, and can identify most trees. He told me a good way to seal the ends of logs is to use “melted wax” and spread that on each end of the log.
One could build a face truss out of 2x4's and 2x6's across the front of your sawmill shed. Then you could use your own lumber instead of buying an expensive manufactured beam. For a start look at floor trusses. One could also build a wood I beam with plywood for the web and your 2x6's or 8's for the flanges. Don't forget to leave provisions to remove the sawdust from the back of the mill.
Thank you Mike and Melissa for the great videos. I have been watching your channel for years and never miss one. Please pass on this comment. My son is the CEO of Mautto a company founded by his mother. They make high end straps and accessories for those expensive women’s purses. The company works out of her home. They just started making CDC compliant masks for covid 19 at a very reasonable price. Google Mautto to check them out. Free shipping and you will love them. Thank you for passing this on.
@@davidmorse8432 yes, or yeah, being from SW Pa same area as Mike ,we have a ..Pittsburgh accent or slang, called Pittsburghise. You can detect it sometimes when Mike 'n Melissa speak. OTWM did a video "Yinzer" .( slang for... you all are.!)
@@JohnSmith-tv5ep I figured you were from Pennsylvania. I have relatives that live around New Castle. They have used some of these words as well. We always tease each other when we get together because I have been living in Texas for the last 38 years and have picked up on some of their native language. Well I better get to cyphering now, have to determine how much money I have left in my account because I am fixin to pay some Bill's. Have a day!
Mike, why don't you cut some 17' boards and make your own beams. Use glue that will work on damp surfaces (non dried wood). They make 3 or 4 ply lumber for longer beans. 2 17 ft 2x8 or so butted together would make 34' beam 3 lays would be 6 inch wide. Or more with another layer. Cost would be glue, nails, screws and time. Would be stronger than lumber you buy. You control the quality of wood. They wood you could but would not be the same quality as yours. And it would be made by the Morgans (special).
My wife and I cracked up watching the portion of Melissa's video where she scared Mike. Even had to rewind it a couple of times and watch it over and over. Funny.
Quarantine Takeover...Melissa, Daughter Hannah and Eva should be running the equipment during the day when Mike is at work. Crank out a lot of material for videos and get tons of work done.
There's another guy on here with a home built sawmill, he saws the high end wood very thin and then puts them on a plywood base so he gets a lot of the pretty out of the wood. He did a walnut log that he got 37 full slices out of. Being only 1/2 in thick, it doesn't lend itself to being structural, but it sure was pretty. I know what you mean about the sawdust smell on most wood. Some woods though.. yeah yeeuck.
Good morning from Darlington Pa. Amazing what you can do in an hour. That is kind of a running joke for us. We kept looking at a fallen tree in the edge of a field at my brothers, maybe 300 yards away. It didn't look that big at that distance. I told him, I brought my chainsaw...lets go cut that up. It should only take us an hour. Well, 3 hours and 6 side by side loads of wood later, we finally got done. so... any new project we start, we say, "should only take us an hour". but, it is amazing, what you can do, one evening or weekend at a time. it all adds up and woodshed is coming along nicely.
My rule of thumb is +1 hour for every beer we drink, +30 minutes for every "good idea!", and +24 hours if the temperature hits 110. ;-) Suddenly that 2 hour chainsaw cleanup took on 4 hours (4 beers), 1.5 hours for 3 "good ideas" to try to make the job faster. = 7.5 hours. It's very accurate.
Almost anything is better than nothing on the ends of the logs. The more oil and water retention the coating you can put in the coating the better. Even canola oil is helpful.
LVL=Laminated Veneer Lumber... If you were to use 3 - 1/2” X 8” or 10” wouldn’t that span the 20’ you need for the opening...? One more item, use some of the wane boards as strapping for the metal roof!
Mike just wondering how the deer are reacting to all the commotion around the feeder? To me , it seems like you are really liking that wood-miser. I have seen lots of plans for building for saw mills on the web Mike, One suggestion, make it big enough to handle a bigger mill, you know some day it will happen. Possibly before the pool. (LOL)
you` was talking about how warm it is I how live in Jacksonville Fl. but I grew up In Akron getting up very early this time of year and wash the frost off the strawberries blooms
Awsome Looking Lumber!!👍👊

Hey Mike get Melissa a wiz nap roller with a adjustable paint pole would cut time in half and more ergonomically correct to seal the end of logs

I know the name of elm ,& it's fits ! You are right every log is different . That is why I loved sawing !
Hey Mike, Make sure the future saw mill shed has adequate clearance to get your machines in and out . A few extra feet above and on the sides may eliminate a future “ what was I thinking “ Looking forward to seeing that project.
Good stuff. Thank you for sharing your day
Around here we call one type of elm the slang for 'urine'. P--- elm. Smells like it too! Plus it is very sappy. You can burn it if you let it cure for a long time. It will put out a fire while green. But I wouldn't recommend burning in a fireplace. Two reasons. One it will snap and pop sending ambers everywhere and two it does give off that lovely odor while burning.
you use anchorseal we used grease in the orchards

Good morning Hunter , and all the Ladies ;-)

Hey Mike. Time to move the deer feeder. Hate to see you bump it . Good video today . Thanks Craig. Pa. Guy
Sunny & high of 57°F today in Providence 👋 Hey Melissa, what's for dinner 🍴😋 ?
Mike, why don't you cut some 17' boards and make your own beams. Use glue that will work on damp surfaces (non dried wood). They make 3 or 4 ply lumber for longer beans. 2 17 ft 2x8 or so butted together would make 34' beam 3 lays would be 6 inch wide. Or more with another layer.

And it would be made by the Morgans (special).

My wife and I cracked up watching the portion of Melissa's video where she scared Mike. Even had to rewind it a couple of times and watch it over and over. Funny.
Mike... what concoction are you using to seal those logs? Also, looks like you should move the deer feeder before you bump into it... thx!

There's another guy on here with a home built sawmill, he saws the high end wood very thin and then puts them on a plywood base so he gets a lot of the pretty out of the wood. He did a walnut log that he got 37 full slices out of. Being only 1/2 in thick, it doesn't lend itself to being structural, but it sure was pretty. I know what you mean about the sawdust smell on most wood. Some woods though.. yeah yeeuck.
Morning, watching the cut line on the mill - looks like the debarker needs adjusting again- great work so far on the shed.
Its all good.
I watched Melissa's video yesterday. Mike you spook easy. LOL
“feels like I’m split down the middle ... and I don’t know which way to go ... I just don’t know”... that was a great song
Good morning from Darlington Pa. Amazing what you can do in an hour. That is kind of a running joke for us. We kept looking at a fallen tree in the edge of a field at my brothers, maybe 300 yards away. It didn't look that big at that distance. I told him, I brought my chainsaw...lets go cut that up. It should only take us an hour. Well, 3 hours and 6 side by side loads of wood later, we finally got done. so... any new project we start, we say, "should only take us an hour". but, it is amazing, what you can do, one evening or weekend at a time. it all adds up and woodshed is coming along nicely.
My rule of thumb is +1 hour for every beer we drink, +30 minutes for every "good idea!", and +24 hours if the temperature hits 110. ;-)
Suddenly that 2 hour chainsaw cleanup took on 4 hours (4 beers), 1.5 hours for 3 "good ideas" to try to make the job faster. = 7.5 hours.
It's very accurate.
Bone and Fog I concur with your formula! However my suggestion is to not mix beer and chainsawing!
Almost anything is better than nothing on the ends of the logs. The more oil and water retention the coating you can put in the coating the better. Even canola oil is helpful.
LVL=Laminated Veneer Lumber...
If you were to use 3 - 1/2” X 8” or 10” wouldn’t that span the 20’ you need for the opening...?
One more item, use some of the wane boards as strapping for the metal roof!
Latex paint should work so long as you put it on fairly heavy so that it makes like a rubber seal.
Mike just wondering how the deer are reacting to all the commotion around the feeder?
To me , it seems like you are really liking that wood-miser.
I have seen lots of plans for building for saw mills on the web Mike, One suggestion, make it big enough to handle a bigger mill, you know some day it will happen. Possibly before the pool. (LOL)
Does you saw mill tilt to make lap siding?
you` was talking about how warm it is I how live in Jacksonville Fl. but I grew up In Akron getting up very early this time of year and wash the frost off the strawberries blooms
Mike, what is the 'sand dollar' marking on the end of the last log on the left?
Loving the viewer endings!!
Mike, looks like the deer feeder is kinda in the way now. Any plans to move it to a new location? Great video as always!
Pretty good for cheeseburger soup😀
Mike , I don't know if they offer these in your area , we use a 4x6 alot here in my area, 4x6 has more than a 4x4 but not as big and heavy as a 6x6 .
Melissa that design on the log looks like a dragonfly to me.😊
When you paint, always put the gallon can inside a bigger pail...in case....just do it...
Mike what do you use to seal the end of the logs?
