Speaking about finding things in trees. I had two 60 foot spruce trees between my house and my neighbours, min 3 feet at the butt. The trees were 12 feet from my house and 10 feet from my neighbour. I called several Arborist companies, as soon as they saw it they said "Nope". One guy told me $1500 per tree and I had to had to do all the clean up and removal... Let's just say he didn't like my response. My old man was a logger, and I build log homes, I know a thing or two about chain saws. I climbed, limbed, and brought both trees down piece by piece. Wife came home from work and begged me "Please wear your chain saw clothes" All I had was my winter chain saw pants. Last cut was 6 inches below grade so I didn't have to rent a stump grinder. Really hot out, I'm worn out, and on my knee in an awkward position with my Stihl MS361with 24 inch bar. The tree grew around a steel T post used to support the tree when it was first planted, they also use them for temp wire fencing. I couldn't stop the kick back. Hit me middle right thigh. Pants did there job, destroyed my bar and carbide chain and one hell of a bruise. Wife told me after, I was mad I ruined my $400 pants. I deserved a solid "WTF were you thinking" slap up side the head that day. If not for my wife??? If anyone reads this wear your PPE and when that little voice in your head says "This ain't smart" LISTEN
I’m a logger and I do tree work arborist is a fancy word in my part of the USA . A Stihl chainsaw has the best chain brake of all saws . Carbide chain and 400$ pants
Man! Sorry about the back Nathan! Well, and the equipment too... But I gotta say, you went the extra mile for a good video, so a big thank you from all of us! That wasn't an easy day! I hope you feel better! My Goodness!!!
It's just like "drinking and driving"... If you can't drink AND drive, choose ONE and do it WELL... As a pilot, I can fly and airplane and communicate on the radio, so I think I can drive a car (which is limited to only 2 dimensions) and talk on the phone... Of course, that's assuming that I actually had anyone that I wanted to talk to in the first place (not the case because I'm an anti-social obnoxious SOB)... Now, get off my lawn, dammit!
Considering in most places in the US it's illegal to use your phone while driving unless using a hands free device, just most people don't know it and police have given up enforcing it unless the yget in an accident then they slap you with the fine.
Exceptional! This video gave me a new perspective on sawmilling. It's fascinating to see the detailed work involved in sawmilling. The video quality is top-notch. I'm excited to see what you share next. Continue sharing these amazing videos!
I don't know how many times I have been watching you and this is good. Good to actually see you remove a hunk of something like the glass insulator from your plank. Thank you. I know you didn't want to destroy a blade. But you show how you do it . Other people don't do as good a job as you. Thanks again.
So glad you found that annoying beeper! We only hear it for as long as it's making noise on the video, not the whole time you're moving Sir Kato, which is what you get to listen to.
Nathan - another cell phone in a restaurant horror story. The wife and I were sitting at a sushi restaurant watching the chef make his presentations for us, when the clown next to us kept sharing the most annoying cell ring ever. It was that of a crying infant and he kept sharing it with his three buddies siting to his left. Finally, the chef who was a good friend of ours asked him to turn t off or take it outside. Fortunately, that's when his buddies also told him that was enough too.
I've been a fine woodworker for over 50 years. I loved your comment, "Christmas in February". After all the jewelry boxes, picture frames, night stands, toy boxes, etc., etc. that I have made, I still hold my breath and am still amazed at the beautiful wood grain patterns that our Creator has blessed us with as I apply the first swipe of oil onto raw wood. God Bless.
Us folks out here really appreciate you taking all that time to let us in on your ceramic treasure hunt today!! I often wondered about that with a mill running a band saw blade... A lot of folks got a very good, detailed lesson !!! Many thanks!!
Oh that walnut is so awesome. Agree with the cell phone rant. Regarding driving in today's world, I have dash cameras in both of my vehicles. A sad but necessary need for drivers today.
🙏 Prayers for your back that it heals quickly and doesn't impair your work. Thanks for another great video with all sorts of angles (both in script and videography). We hope your buyers pay you enough to recover all your losses.
That beeper, "It's got a good beat, but you can't dance to it". Prayers for your back Neighbor. God Bless. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I agree with your cell phone rant 100%. That is one beautiful curly walnut slab! I hope you take enough profit from it to reimburse you for the losses. I guess it's all part of being a sawyer. Good video as always.
oh those slabs are like $1000 minimum, for the lowest grades.. plus with the curl in it it's probably about an extra 1000 . he'll make more than his money back off of those
Outstanding! This video showed me the incredible process of sawmilling. The way you manage these large pieces of wood is remarkable. This video is incredibly clear and detailed. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Keep up the fantastic work!
Ouch ! That hurts to get into something like that with the sawmill. You'll get it done though and salvage more on the next cut maybe. Thanks for sharing with us Nathan, hope you do better on the rest of the walnut lumber. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.
Nice video! Thanks for making and sharing it! The plea for drivers to get off their cell phones, falls upon deaf ears! Sadly, people have no idea what kind of danger they become when they drive while being distracted by a cell phone. It is ridiculous how often they cause traffic to slow down, attempt to pass, and create a danger for everyone around them. When you are driving, you have to remain in control at all times of your vehicle. If a phone call is so important, pull off the road and make, or receive, your call! I suffered a very nasty accident years ago, and I was off work 7 months from the accident. So I have a strong opinion of people who drive while distracted! Beautiful trees! I have a small plot of land I call Walnut Grove Farm, and I have had many trees come down from storms. But I have always wondered why no one seems interested in the stump, where the burl wood grows. Do people just let the stumps rot?
I wàs a sawfiler for 33 years in a production sawmill. Ive seen everything from railroad spikes to a hive of bees in logs. I worked mainly on band saws and the biggest killer to them was ceramic electric fence insulators that the tree had grown around. Metal detectors dont typically detect them. They are very hard any rip all the teeth off bands without even making much more than a scratch on the insulator.
Take care of that back Nathan! Man what a day you had. Down one Joe Maine Silver-Tip 7. Hope you have his number to give him a call 🤣. If you need it I might have it around here someplace. I hear he ships fast. Looking forward to the rest of that walnut on the mill. It is beautiful wood.
Sorry about the back Nathan. Ibuprofen and rest is a must. Don’t miss that beeper ONE bit. So glad. Also SAD I missed watching on Patreon NO RUclips Commercials 🤠
Wow, so beautiful 🤩 hope you have a heating pad for your back! I commented to Daniel Armes to contact you to see how you disconnected the irritating beeper on the Kato 👍
Great to see you safely securing the logs to the trailer. Where I come from it's a big fine if you don't - and you are fined a thousand dollars for EACH item not secured. It does add up to a very heavy penalty for not being safe when towing a load! I'd hate to be in a car when one or all those logs got jettisoned.
Back in the early fifties, I heard of a fellow in Minnesota that only harvested the limbs on his trees each year keeping them pruned and healthier. He also dug up the stumps and got other things from them. I heard that those limbs were as big as the log you just sawed!!
Cell phones are the best and worst things that have happened to us. I remember a Black Walnut in the back of Granny`s yard next to the alley in Roanoke, Va. The property got sold in the late 1980s and I guess that tree was cut down and chipped up. Pretty slab.
I agree with black dog…. My goodness😉. Take care of that back young man. You’re a hard worker and I appreciate all you did to make another great video. Good travel music as usual too. Take care friend🙏.
absolutly agree with what your saying about mobile phones. used to work. in the audio industry. my boss used to drive an often verry overloaded transit van. sometimes with a trailer, and when the phone rings he would just pick it up like he's not doing anything else.
May have to take it easy on that back for a bit. Hope you recover quickly. Glad to see how you handle the blade removal after hitting the insulator. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
HI Nathan, Thanks for the videos. When I haul logs on my trailer I will first place at least 2 chains across the trailer deck. After all the logs are loaded, I throw the chains over the top to bundle the load. Aside from losing a log(s), probably the next worst thing is to have logs shift and push the trailer fenders into the tires. At speed you will blow a tire(s) almost immediately. Typically I just use 2 chains, but if the lengths are too varied I can use more. alternately you can cross the chains over the top and load-bind them to the opposite side. Either way, it keeps the logs in control. Thanks again.
I feel the pain. I hit a porcelain knob and tube insulator 16 feet up on a ash tree. Tree was at a resort by the lake and close to the office. An old resort and most likely used to string wires to the cabins. Instant sparks from the chainsaw and stopped dead in the tracks.
Nathan, Tape a calendar to your LT70 and circle the date that you put on the new blade. That way you will always know when you put on the LAST one. :>)
There is a cellphone etiquette that falls under the umbrella of common courtesy. Unfortunately common courtesy seems to be the exception. I am with you a hundred percent on texting and talking while driving. Our state outlawed it but you know how that goes.
I really like black walnut, it's my favorite wood. I wish I could afford one of those slabs!! I'd make a table out of it. I don't really have the room to put it in, but I'd almost get a bigger dinningroom house to have it. IF I COULD AFFORD it!!
hi there they stop a circular saw also . i stuck my saw a few days ago and fire coming out just before it stopped , . at least it wasn't a fresh blade best to all john
My uncle and his boys have made a living for thirty years with Woodmizer sawmills in central Montana. You're not alone about hitting scrap iron, old bullets, spikes, and so forth. Work safe;
Couldn't agree more about cell phones, you know time was the phone was ONLY at home or the office and Somehow WE SURVIVED . Don't let the cell phone dominate your life, especially when you are driving because using it while driving can cost you your life-or some one else's. I admire and appreciate the way you handle problems, you just do not let them be Problems.
In my 33 years as a sawfiler I saw everything but a winning lottery ticket in SYP trees/logs. Axe head, rail road spikes, couple miles of barbed wire, one bee hive , fat lighter galore , various unidentified metal pieces , bullets and nails 8 , 10 , 16 to 60 penny. But the no 1 bandsaw destroyer and were many , the porcelain electric fence insulator grown inside tree and invisible metal detector. One will make the tooth side look like the backside and seldom have a scratch on it when found.
A fellow near me has a circular sawmill and hit the same thing, in a walnut log no less. New blade and a customers log too. Same thing. Came from a fence row tree. He has sworn off of fence line trees.

$400 to not have probably a life changing permanent injury? Sounds like a bargain to me.
Lot's of people lack that voice.... or are too stubborn to listen to it.
Pussy can't even stop a lil kickback. I can stop any saw dead just hold the thing right.
you are spot on with your telephone etiquette and manners. there is no thought or consideration for other folks these days.
...when 80% of white people are trying to re-elect a white supremacist for president, and you're complaining about cell phones...
Man! Sorry about the back Nathan! Well, and the equipment too... But I gotta say, you went the extra mile for a good video, so a big thank you from all of us! That wasn't an easy day! I hope you feel better! My Goodness!!!
Thanks 👍
Man! Those walnut logs look beautiful. They look like black gold.
As someone who sells the type of tie down chains you are using, I took pleasure watching you take such care of them. Good job.
I'm with you Nathan. Cell phones are dangerous on the road!
Curly walnut, but some of the figure has a wispy look to it similar to fiddle back look to it. Its absolutely beautiful!
Totally agree about the phone situation while driving.
It's ALL about "Safety First", Nathan !! Here in CA, probably like elsewhere, it's against the law to use a cell phone while driving !!
It's just like "drinking and driving"... If you can't drink AND drive, choose ONE and do it WELL... As a pilot, I can fly and airplane and communicate on the radio, so I think I can drive a car (which is limited to only 2 dimensions) and talk on the phone...

Yes they are!

You mean the safety reverse warning?
@@samleigh7817 it's whenever the tracks are moving, forward or reverse.

"Feel like I'm up here doin' deadlifts." 🤣 You were. You were! What a day. You handled it with grace and patience. I appreciate you, Nathan!

I don't know. It sounds like autotune to me.
I hope you're back is feeling better.
Hope your back is back to normal quickly, your take care
I agree with your cell phone rant 100%.
That is one beautiful curly walnut slab! I hope you take enough profit from it to reimburse you for the losses. I guess it's all part of being a sawyer. Good video as always.
oh those slabs are like $1000 minimum, for the lowest grades.. plus with the curl in it it's probably about an extra 1000 . he'll make more than his money back off of those
Looks like some good slabs coming.
Beautiful walnut. Thank you.
Nathan you are always so enjoyable to watch and listen to, you're just a really good guy.
It was good to see a slab of walnut!
Gotta love Walnut, never disappoints. Thanks
Get better, Nathan. Try to enjoy your evening.
Outstanding! This video showed me the incredible process of sawmilling. The way you manage these large pieces of wood is remarkable. This video is incredibly clear and detailed. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. Keep up the fantastic work!
Great advantage to the band mill, cutting equipment easily replaced. That and portability are their strongest features in my opinion. 👍👍
Totally agree
Thanks for the video. You’re spot on about the phone DWI’s. Take care.
Beautiful timber. I love wallnut timber.
Gotta love junk in the logs, I use a hole saw to cut out stuff like that to save a slab
That was my first thought. Just core it out to save as much as you can.
Ouch ! That hurts to get into something like that with the sawmill. You'll get it done though and salvage more on the next cut maybe. Thanks for sharing with us Nathan, hope you do better on the rest of the walnut lumber. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.
Like you said, things happen and the only thing that you can do is go the the flow.
Nice video! Thanks for making and sharing it!

Its the same here in Ireland with people on the phones while Driving they dont learn till its too late
Well the other half of the water went on the slab! Nice Walnut! Curly is even better!
Wow the slab is beautiful.
I wàs a sawfiler for 33 years in a production sawmill. Ive seen everything from railroad spikes to a hive of bees in logs.

They are very hard any rip all the teeth off bands without even making much more than a scratch on the insulator.
I was expecting a rock , but a ceramic insulator is close enough .
Not fun losing a blade but that gorgeous walnut almost makes up for it .
Wow, that insulator must have been put in many, many decades ago given how deep it was. No way anyone would know it was there. Beautiful wood.
Take care of that back Nathan! Man what a day you had. Down one Joe Maine Silver-Tip 7. Hope you have his number to give him a call 🤣. If you need it I might have it around here someplace. I hear he ships fast. Looking forward to the rest of that walnut on the mill. It is beautiful wood.

Precision loading... very impressive.
Not so bad on the unloading...
I’m getting there
Hope your back is ok brother, wished we lived closer , I have a 31” x 20’ red oak log to cut into boards.
TKE CARE OF YOUR BACK AND KEEP ON CUTTING, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS WATCHING FROM JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA
Wow, so beautiful 🤩 hope you have a heating pad for your back! I commented to Daniel Armes to contact you to see how you disconnected the irritating beeper on the Kato 👍
That is a stunning piece of lumber!! Great job!

That's a gorgeous piece of walnut
New logs look good. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Stuck in the Cut would be a good sawmill channel on RUclips. Better grab it quick!
agreed
Seeing the scenery makes me homesick for Tennessee. I gotta sell this beach house... PCB,FL has gone stale after 36 years.
I heard the blade hit that insulator - ouch. At least the blade did not snap and you were able to safe the walnut. Stay safe.
Great video. Be careful lifting. I know you know. As an old guy in my late 60s, I have to remind myself as well. I appreciate you.
very nice slab, wish I could afford one like that
What a shame to retire a saw that way. My 50 inch circular wouldn't have fared any better. Great post letting folks know the things we face every day.
I couldn't agree with you more about CELLPHONES!
I feel the pain. I hit a porcelain knob and tube insulator 16 feet up on a ash tree. Tree was at a resort by the lake and close to the office. An old resort and most likely used to string wires to the cabins. Instant sparks from the chainsaw and stopped dead in the tracks.
Now we know how get out of a log. Well done 👏
hello Nathan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Nathan Friends Randy
So right about the phone thing, drives me nuts too.
👍♥️🇨🇦🍻
That would be a hell of a bar top
And sorry about both your Blade and your Back. Take care friend ...
That walnut would make some awesome guitar backs and sides.
Well Nathan,even though you had to find a insulator still some beautiful slabs 😮😊❤
Nathan, Tape a calendar to your LT70 and circle the date that you put on the new blade. That way you will always know when you put on the LAST one. :>)
Oh for the days of phone booth and rotary dial phones. What did we do? 😊
Love Walnut!! Bummer on the blade!!
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for posting.
There is a cellphone etiquette that falls under the umbrella of common courtesy. Unfortunately common courtesy seems to be the exception. I am with you a hundred percent on texting and talking while driving. Our state outlawed it but you know how that goes.
Nathan sorry about your back but boy what a walnut log!! Very nice.
Thanks 🙏
That looks like a chainsaw embedded in that log.
One of your best videos in a long time. Pity about the damage.
I really like black walnut, it's my favorite wood. I wish I could afford one of those slabs!! I'd make a table out of it. I don't really have the room to put it in, but I'd almost get a bigger dinningroom house to have it. IF I COULD AFFORD it!!
Beautiful walnut! Take care of your back!
Looks like a nice deck over trailer could be a great investment.
That would be nice
Our oldest son was killed by a distracted driver. I agree with you totally.
Hope your back is better soon... getting a blade buggered up on a hidden chunk in a log is pretty frustrating. You handled it well tho. Great video.
Fantastic looking wood.
Hey Nathan; why don’t we see you sawing up some nice curly or quilted maple and some bucket splashes?
hi there they stop a circular saw also . i stuck my saw a few days ago and fire coming out just before it stopped , . at least it wasn't a fresh blade best to all john
The Werk-Brau grapple bucket with a wider thumb is being used by folks handling logs w/ a mini excavator on a regular basis. 🗽
The excavator grapple "knifes" between the logs, provides a "nested" grip. Could save the fenders on the trailer. 🇺🇸🗽
Thanks 👍 for sharing brother 😁🙏 take care of that back
Thank you, I will
It’s not only the phones, i think they believe red lights and stop signs are suggestions.
My uncle and his boys have made a living for thirty years with Woodmizer sawmills in central Montana. You're not alone about hitting scrap iron, old bullets, spikes, and so forth. Work safe;
I found an arrowhead in a poplar broad once. Had no idea it was there until the dado stack went right through it.
Couldn't agree more about cell phones, you know time was the phone was ONLY at home or the office and Somehow WE SURVIVED .
Don't let the cell phone dominate your life, especially when you are driving because using it while driving can cost you your life-or some one else's. I admire and appreciate the way you handle problems, you just do not let them be Problems.
In my 33 years as a sawfiler I saw everything but a winning lottery ticket in SYP trees/logs.

But the no 1 bandsaw destroyer and were many , the porcelain electric fence insulator grown inside tree and invisible metal detector.

Black walnut is my favorite, but after your insulator problem it might not be yours. Glad you were able to recover, mostly.
Nice clean walnut Nathan
A fellow near me has a circular sawmill and hit the same thing, in a walnut log no less. New blade and a customers log too. Same thing. Came from a fence row tree. He has sworn off of fence line trees.
I feel for you. I ran a circular mill for years... yes the worst was a House insulator in a Black Walnut...50 rounded teeth!!
