Well done, young fella! It's nice to see a young man willing to work hard instead of being lazy n getting into trouble. Keep it up. Don't let the negative people pull you down!
Patton Woodworks One good thing came from the Negative comment from Russ B. After reading your excellent response to him, I watched the video again with a more informed perspective. I was now aware of the history of the personal investment that went into your acquisition of the Woodmizer, and your personal hard work to construct the building. I took note of the newness and beauty of your shed, better able to appreciate your hard work and talent. I am sure that your parents are fine people, but whether or not that is the case, you are a talented and amazing young man with strong character. That is made clear by watching even this small moment from your day and reading your perfect response to a personal attack from a sad petty man.
Tony Ketcham thank you I am glad that you are able to see that in me and I really appreciate it. I love doing this i find it very enjoyable. My parents are awesome people. They support me with everything. My dad loves to help me out and pull boards off the mill. He’s loves to build furniture so I cut a lot of wood for him for his projects. I really appreciate all of your kind words. Thank you!
I am really impressed. That must have taken a lot of hard work. You'll certainly find your way in life now, as you've learned to see opportunities and make the best of what you've got. Life will always deal us a rough hand now and again, but knowing how to put your best foot forward will surely help getting through that. Best of luck to you!
Great full instructional video of start to finish of processing a log. So nice to see young men taking steps to improve and secure his future. God bless you and your new venture.
what a wonderful page, so glad i came across it, you remind me of my twin sons, they are just like you, started working at a young age and have never looked back, they both bought homes at the age of 23 all bye themselfs, so to see you doing this kind of hard work and loving what you do is great to see, patten keep up the great work and i look forward to many many more of your video's, and thanks for sharing
Trans Plant thank you so much! That is awesome your sons were able to do that. I’m hoping to do that same thing. No problem I’m really glad you liked it!
Great job young man. Being in the construction business for 40 plus years I have seen the decline of working youth. You will go far trust in your work ethic it will pay off. I am 55 now been working every since I was 14. I now own my own business and just purchased the LT35 for myself can't wait to pick it up next week.
My brother has a Woodmizer like yours. I have used it a few times and have a lot of fun cutting my own lumber. Lot of work too. Congratulations on your purchase.
Keep up the good work. Ive been doing mill work for 15 years. Started younger than you. Its a great skill to have. Also i'm jealous of the new shinny mill. Keep it up kid!
You go man. So glad to see this in some of our future upbringings. Salute to your parents. And you make sure you tell them someone says that. Don’t ever be bothered by people like Russ b. People like that are a joke.
good job , and the shed , from what i can see looks really nice , wish you would show a video of the shed , looks like what im wanting to build for my self, thanks
James Hottinger thanks! Click on my page and watch the video that’s called sawmill tour it’s about the sheds and sawmill set up. Hopefully it’ll be helpful for you
18 years old !!!! Do you realize the future you have ? Great job ! I expect to see sponsors /tons of hits on your channel /cool shirts we can buy / cutting edge ideas / all from having enough brains to get off the phone / your nose out of the video games/ a great hobby / and make tons of cash !!!!
I just found your channel and subscribed. You have great skills and much talent for a young man. I really like seeing the quarter sawn lumber you cut and know that you have the ability to produce such a quality product. I'll be looking for more videos, thanks! ....13
Great to see a young guy with ambition...and very nice cedar saw shed you built. One thing you might consider is saving up for a sawdust blower. You have a lot of years ahead and the health risks of breathing sawdust is not something to be ignored. In the meantime a dust mask is a good idea.
D6c10K thank you sir I appreciate it a lot. Yes one day I will have everything on dust collection system. I have a really nice respirator I usually wear when I’m cutting, I’m actually not sure why I don’t have it on in this video but I usually always do
How many board feet did you end up getting from that log? What were/are your plans for the lumber? Keep up the good work, don't let skills like yours be lost.
I started roofing at age 11 I'm 45 now. Keep up the hard work and you'll have no regrets in life. Who knows as good as that shed looks no reason you couldn't mill the wood to build your own house one day. Congratulations on your success in life. Keep your head up and haters out! One more thing, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not a wood person. But I've seen in other videos where they would put boards in between each other so they could dry out when stacking them.
FATBOY LLC that’s awesome. Thank you I will keep on working hard for sure. One of my goals one day is to build a house with the wood I cut. I think that would be really a good experience to do. And yeah I sticker them once I get them to where I stack them up I had to move them all again with the tractor and sweep off the dust before I stacked them. Thanks for all the words of encouragement I appreciate it a lot!
I'm always amazed watching folks with hydraulic mills taking the time to use the log turner to roll it when it gets down to a cant. My WM is manual, and I can flip a cant much faster with a cant hook, inspecting the face as I go.
Ed Smith I had immediately noticed the log turner as well. I am not in the industry, so my only exposure is to watch this amazing work online. I had never seen such a small mill with a log turner like that. He seemed to have the ability to use it without even thinking. It would seem to me that once the investment is made in the hydraulic log turner climbing up and down to do it by hand would fall out of habit, even with the benefit of more closely inspecting the log. But I'm kind of lazy. You guys are much harder men than me. You have my respect my friend.

NW Sawyer mentioned you so when this video popped up, I decided to check it out. First, I don't need to tell you how to handle trolls since you have that figured out. Third, well done with the way that you are building your future. I didn't read all of the comments, but mostly, folks were supportive and most importantly, helpful. I was watching April Wilkerson cut her first full log on her Cremona mill and she left everything on the log then put a strap around it and lifted it all at once, moving it to the stacking area. This means she only handled it one time. She has the resources and workspace to do this, but it was another look at how things could be done.
Timothy Ball he’s a great guy! Thank you I appreciate it. Yes most are super supportive and helpful and I am thankful for that. I’ve got a skidsteer now and can pick up all the logs and move them wherever I need to after I cut them. When I took this video I only had a little tractor and had to use the 3point hitch for everything and wasn’t very practical but made it work. I’ve got things a lot more efficient now, I just don’t have a very good video showing everything. Thank you for watching I appreciate it!
Tucker Ward thank you! I have been looking at buying one the Lucas slabber mills. It would be a great thing to have for sure being able to cut that wide.
Now all you need is a conveyor with a hopper at the bottom of the wall to provide easy cleanup inside the shed. Might find one at a farm sale for cheap.
Very nice building and equipment. What we can see, it looks well thought out. You have a great deal of time and money put into this, I assume this is going to be your livelihood. I have one concern for you... Now that you've spent the time and money, I sincerely hope the industry does not fail. Here's hoping you a long and satisfying and productive career. Many have offered words of wisdom and advice....I guess it's my turn. 1) Work smarter, not harder. 2) Always do quality work. 3) A good reputation is hard to earn but easily ruined. 4) Don't trade your honor or morals for anything or any reason. Good luck to you
Great job milling up that log. You are a testament to your generation that hard word and dedication won't kill you. Any reason you choose a bandsaw mill vs a swingblade mill? Even with hydraulics and support equipment, all the log handling and rotation is a bunch of extra work. With a swingblade mill you cut finished, edged, dimensioned boards right off the log.
bwillan thank you sir! I love hard work it makes me feel good at the end of the day. I chose the bandsaw because of the very little kerf of the blade. I do about 75% milling of love edge wood so I wouldn’t be able to do that with the swing blade. For what I do it just works best for me. The swing blade are very cool though I’d love to see one in action someday
I'm jealous! I'm 69 and I want one! I just don't have the room! Good work young man! When I was 18 I was drinking and raising hell and wound up in the Marine Corps in 1969!
I make those things. Well i press brake the component parts. They weld paint and assemble them in a different part of the plant. First time i have watched one in action though.
Since you're using horizontal saw mill i think it would better if you set up the camera a little bit closer and above the log so we can see what you get. Sometimes the texture of the lumber is so interesting and nice to see.
Can you move camera closer to your work. Check out Fall line ridge videos. Great set up with shed building and hydraulics used for getting most out of trees. Great work ethic at 18! Awesome!
Christian B yes I can. I need to get better with the camera work for sure. Yeah he is a great guy and has very entertaining videos. Thank you I appreciate it!
Awesome job ... That saw shed is beautiful.. I wish more youngsters had your motavation about any kind of useful skill... Couple tips though need to watch your back be careful . and a pickaroon (hookaroon) works real nice to grab slabs and drag them off
Nice set up! Are you going to pour a floor to level the shed out? Being a single man operation, your back has got to get to you by the end of the day! Thanks for posting a video of you working with your Woodmizer. If I were close; I'd bring the Unimog over and drag in your logs! Blessings!!
Ron Gray thanks. I doubt I will in this shed. This is at my parents property once I am able to buy some land in a few years I will be be making a really nice shed. No problem at all glad you liked it. That would be awesome to see that thing. Thanks!
Lost Nation that will be coming in the future for sure still just trying to figure out and get better at the video making process. It will be coming though
Very impressive young man! You have a bright future. I'd like to suggest a couple of YT channels for you if you don't already know about them. Josaljo Won, he's a retired man that knows more about business than most folks and he gives his advise freely. He has an LT15 and cuts some beautiful wood. He makes jigs to use on his woodmizer as well. Also, NW Sawyer is a good channel. I have subbed and rang the bell. Looking forward to see more from you.
lake bum I sure appreciate that thank you! Yes I actually have watched both of there channels. They are both very good to learn from. I will hopefully continue to get better at the video making and have some narration in there too in the future. Thanks for doing that I appreciate it a lot
lake bum --- Please, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but this young man is already a better sawyer/lumber producer than Josaljo Won. And he doesn't try to tell you something and then take forever to ATTEMPT to show you....like Josaljo Won does.
I was wondering if you could move the camera closer so we can see the cutting done. Could you let us know what you were cutting why you were cutting it so. Could you let us know what kind of wood you are cutting. I’m sure there are more than myself that would like those type of video. Thanking you in advance Doug.
He needs to do something about the wood dust. He needs to wear a N95 mask till the dust is vented outside. This is not a negative comment! I am thinking about his health! Awesome job!
1963JamesT Thank you! With the way I have the shed set up and the ground around the outside of the shed this is about the only option I have. It’s just temporary once I have my own property I will build a shed that is set up a lot better now that I know what I need to have. I’ll give a little walk about the sheds we build in a future video and it’ll give you an idea of what I have going on. I usually have a big respirator on so I don’t breath it in so much
Wow! Nice job, love the machine! This country needs more young people like you to set proper examples for others. Liked the video! Best of luck in your endeavors.
Awesome set up...Congrats! We have an LT45 Super Hydraulic with a stationary control panel. We also covered ours and rely on customers bringing timber to us. We created a load zone if you will using two twenty foot I-beams which allow our logs to be rollable onto the hydraulic log lift. We then discharge scraps on the other side by the use of a forked front end loader. I like your set up but hate watching you handle the slabs soooo much. Happy Milling!!
Galen Ledbetter thanks! Oh that’s awesome! I wish we had a set up like that right now. I will one day. I’ve only been doing this for a little over two years so it’ll all get a lot more efficient as time goes on and figure out more tricks and stuff. Thanks sir. Happy milking to you too
Bob Bergmann it was an oak. Not exactly sure what type of oak though. A guy dropped off a few loads of it from the city it was just a yard tree but had some nice lumber in it. Thanks I appreciate it!
If only there were decent trees in my area to mill. Its like fighting tooth and nail for decently sized logs. Also not having a mill doesnt help either, but 1 step at a time. I can mill with a chainsaw and ladder to get by, but the logs are a problem.
Patton Woodworks Id have to build it, but sure does. Just hard in my area as all we really have is thorn bushes. Also work around with the tractor as i have a metal leg and false knee. Im not but a couple years older than you, but sooner or later ill be there doing close to the same.
Snipe Stud00 oh wow well that’s really awesome your still able to do all that stuff then. I gotcha. Good deal. Good luck to you I hope it all works out good for you!
Mark Camaro it’s all oak in this video. I’m not really to sure. I don’t really sell oak very much I don’t even really know what a fair bf price on it is
PW what are your plans with your mill? Are you looking to sell custom wood or just for your own use or what? I am wondering if you are looking at any kind of business from it.
When I was a kid we had a decent sized old time sawmill. Was always fascinated with the operation of it but my dad sold off the mill and it was moved away.
You should be a very good inspirational guide for those who are young, but need a positive direction in life. BTW : Do yourself and your back, a great big favor, by raising the bed of the sawmill up high enough, so that you will no longer need to bend over to see clearly what or where your blade is cutting or to get an accurate sight of the log being cut.
The Shadow Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it. Yeah that would be a good thing to do for sure. I’ll get it all set up perfect one day I have a lot of things I want to do yet. Thanks for watching!
I started with a really small mill with a small loan from my grandpa and lots and lots of work paid what I owed him and things kept going from there. Main thing is definitely hard work. If you work hard enough for it you can do anything you dream of
@@meandnature6452 yep that is a good idea. that's what I did. start small and work your way up as time and money allows. Woodmizer makes really good mills I would highly recommend them. good luck with everything hope all goes well for you
I'd like to know what kinda job you were givin that allowed you to afford such an expensive piece of equipment. I can tell you when I turned 15 I started working part time while in school and I would've needed prob a $15-20/hr job to save up enough in 3 years time. good for you though, better than spending it on some useless investment.
SaltyBro well I can tell you the only things I were ever given was a loving family and friends and the gift of working hard. I worked at a family friends construction business since I was 14 during the summers and winters after football practice was over. I payed $1400 to my first sawmill which was a Norwood lm29 and that has been pretty much the only money I’ve ever used from a job to pay for a sawmill. I worked my butt off with that sawmill to pay it off and pay for building the sheds you see in the videos and all the woodworking tools and then I save up after that and made the down payment on this mill. I bought it in October and payed it off in June. 100% of the money was from the sawmill in one way or another. Going all over to cut lumber, cutting at our house and selling wood I cut. It was one of my most accomplished moments paying off that sawmill every single penny of it from money that I’ve got from my own hard work while in high school. I’ve just always loved working hard and especially when I love cutting lumber as much as I do it isn’t to difficult.
Patton Woodworks --- Great AND smart efforts on your part, you'll do very well in your future business'! I'm proud I found you, a great ray of hope for your generation!
I think its great what your doing but at your young age you should start wearing a respirator or when you get older you will feel the affects of that saw dust
Merik Edgel thanks for the concern. I agree with you and I wear one everyday this was literally the one time i didn’t wear one. Thank you again and have a good day sir
kvnjspr we just pull it out of the shed and spread it around for now and it deteriorates into the ground. When I’m set up better I’ll be selling it for different stuff but just haven’t got there yet
Well done, young fella! It's nice to see a young man willing to work hard instead of being lazy n getting into trouble. Keep it up. Don't let the negative people pull you down!
Patton Woodworks
One good thing came from the Negative comment from Russ B.

I'm loving the cedar shed. Great looking work
Jeff Todisman thanks! I appreciate it
Great video , thanks for sharing. I worked at a sawmill at 17 loved the smell of various lumber.
Nice job!! That looks like some very pretty Oak! Thanks for sharing!!
Farm_In_The MiddleOfTheWoods thanks! It was good oak for sure. No problem glad you liked it!
thank you Patton! really nice work!
Great job young man. Being in the construction business for 40 plus years I have seen the decline of working youth. You will go far trust in your work ethic it will pay off.

John Wilimczyk thank you! I sure love doing this stuff
That cedar saw shed rocks young man as does your work ethic.

You sure know how to dance with her!
Bob Van Arkel thank you very much sir. I’m doing my best hopefully it’ll all keep going good

Well done young Man.Great Machine,and great building.Love your reply, to you know who.
Don Lunn Thank you sir! Thanks yeah I was just a little offended at the time.
Awesome job man! Im getting a Lucas Mill just for the fact of the size of trees it can handle otherwise Woodmizer would be it for sure.
Tucker Ward thank you! I have been looking at buying one the Lucas slabber mills. It would be a great thing to have for sure being able to cut that wide.
Great job you man! You say you busted tour butt for all of it-hats off to you. Hard working fellow regardless. Keep on keeping on!
Coy Patton thanks sir! Will do
Now all you need is a conveyor with a hopper at the bottom of the wall to provide easy cleanup inside the shed. Might find one at a farm sale for cheap.
Great machine and wonderful to see someone your age doing work LIKE this
Ron Lee thank you I appreciate that!
BRILLIANT JOB, MICK FROM UK
Very nice building and equipment. What we can see, it looks well thought out. You have a great deal of time and money put into this, I assume this is going to be your livelihood. I have one concern for you... Now that you've spent the time and money, I sincerely hope the industry does not fail. Here's hoping you a long and satisfying and productive career.
Many have offered words of wisdom and advice....I guess it's my turn. 1) Work smarter, not harder. 2) Always do quality work. 3) A good reputation is hard to earn but easily ruined. 4) Don't trade your honor or morals for anything or any reason.
Good luck to you
Nice job young man!
trimco 1013 Thank you I apreciate it!
Great job milling up that log. You are a testament to your generation that hard word and dedication won't kill you. Any reason you choose a bandsaw mill vs a swingblade mill? Even with hydraulics and support equipment, all the log handling and rotation is a bunch of extra work. With a swingblade mill you cut finished, edged, dimensioned boards right off the log.
bwillan thank you sir! I love hard work it makes me feel good at the end of the day. I chose the bandsaw because of the very little kerf of the blade. I do about 75% milling of love edge wood so I wouldn’t be able to do that with the swing blade. For what I do it just works best for me. The swing blade are very cool though I’d love to see one in action someday
Good work young fella. Subbed.
Swamp Rat Thank you!
I want 1. That saw is awesome! If i ever strike it rich im buying one:)
I'm jealous! I'm 69 and I want one! I just don't have the room! Good work young man! When I was 18 I was drinking and raising hell and wound up in the Marine Corps in 1969!
Nice, your parents should be proud of you!
I make those things. Well i press brake the component parts. They weld paint and assemble them in a different part of the plant. First time i have watched one in action though.
my namejeff that is really cool. You assemble a really great product that is for sure. I love using it
Nice mill house . Keep working hard .
Jimmy Jordan thank you. I will for sure always do that
good luck in your endeavour i hope you keep this creative hard work up hello from australia
mario cardamone thank you! I will for sure. That’s awesome you are all the way over there watching my videos I never thought that would have happened
Since you're using horizontal saw mill i think it would better if you set up the camera a little bit closer and above the log so we can see what you get. Sometimes the texture of the lumber is so interesting and nice to see.
Can you move camera closer to your work. Check out Fall line ridge videos.
Great set up with shed building and hydraulics used for getting most out of trees.
Great work ethic at 18! Awesome!
Christian B yes I can. I need to get better with the camera work for sure. Yeah he is a great guy and has very entertaining videos.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Awesome job ... That saw shed is beautiful.. I wish more youngsters had your motavation about any kind of useful skill... Couple tips though need to watch your back be careful . and a pickaroon (hookaroon) works real nice to grab slabs and drag them off
Beau Swisher thanks sir!
Beau Swisher --- Great advice regarding the pickaroon.
Nice set up! Are you going to pour a floor to level the shed out? Being a single man operation, your back has got to get to you by the end of the day! Thanks for posting a video of you working with your Woodmizer. If I were close; I'd bring the Unimog over and drag in your logs! Blessings!!
Ron Gray thanks. I doubt I will in this shed. This is at my parents property once I am able to buy some land in a few years I will be be making a really nice shed. No problem at all glad you liked it. That would be awesome to see that thing. Thanks!
I am impressed. Do not be swayed by some that are not the best people.
Lost Nation thanks! I’m not, I know they don’t know anything about me or the work I’ve done
As a new subscriber I hope that I get to hear some narration soon. I'd like to hear what you have say as you work.
Lost Nation that will be coming in the future for sure still just trying to figure out and get better at the video making process. It will be coming though
I suspected that might be the case. I'm still not very good at making videos.
Where can buy this wood? It's pretty nice !!!!!
Good for you!!
ludvig tande thank you!
Very impressive young man! You have a bright future. I'd like to suggest a couple of YT channels for you if you don't already know about them. Josaljo Won, he's a retired man that knows more about business than most folks and he gives his advise freely. He has an LT15 and cuts some beautiful wood. He makes jigs to use on his woodmizer as well. Also, NW Sawyer is a good channel. I have subbed and rang the bell. Looking forward to see more from you.
lake bum I sure appreciate that thank you! Yes I actually have watched both of there channels. They are both very good to learn from. I will hopefully continue to get better at the video making and have some narration in there too in the future. Thanks for doing that I appreciate it a lot
lake bum --- Please, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but this young man is already a better sawyer/lumber producer than Josaljo Won. And he doesn't try to tell you something and then take forever to ATTEMPT to show you....like Josaljo Won does.
What is your goal? Are you cutting this for grade lumber, or is this for something else?
I was wondering if you could move the camera closer so we can see the cutting done. Could you let us know what you were cutting why you were cutting it so. Could you let us know what kind of wood you are cutting. I’m sure there are more than myself that would like those type of video. Thanking you in advance Doug.
How much do you charge for sawing logs into boards as well as beams?
He needs to do something about the wood dust. He needs to wear a N95 mask till the dust is vented outside. This is not a negative comment! I am thinking about his health!
Awesome job!
NoMerc I wear a big respirator when I’m cutting I just didn’t have it on in this video. It’s fine I understand the concern. Thanks!
nice work.
Could you turn the mill so the sawdust blows out the door?
Looks like you will eat a lot of dust blowing against the wall.
good luck.
1963JamesT Thank you! With the way I have the shed set up and the ground around the outside of the shed this is about the only option I have. It’s just temporary once I have my own property I will build a shed that is set up a lot better now that I know what I need to have. I’ll give a little walk about the sheds we build in a future video and it’ll give you an idea of what I have going on. I usually have a big respirator on so I don’t breath it in so much
Nice mill > Man i can make some bee hives with that
they move the log..
Nice job.
786otto thanks!
What city and state are you in? Great video!
Steve Rickard I am in Washington Missouri. Thanks!
A job well done
takes the right tool for the job
I'm number 266. Great work!
69kaveman Thank you!
What's deal with hydrulics that are on?
Wow! Nice job, love the machine! This country needs more young people like you to set proper examples for others. Liked the video! Best of luck in your endeavors.
Mycoblue Thank you! I love the machine too it’s really nice. I appreciate that!
Impressive stuff, here. I guessing you didn't learn your work ethic from video games. Thanks for posting.
His woodmizer must have been working since 5
Awesome set up...Congrats! We have an LT45 Super Hydraulic with a stationary control panel. We also covered ours and rely on customers bringing timber to us. We created a load zone if you will using two twenty foot I-beams which allow our logs to be rollable onto the hydraulic log lift. We then discharge scraps on the other side by the use of a forked front end loader. I like your set up but hate watching you handle the slabs soooo much. Happy Milling!!
Galen Ledbetter thanks! Oh that’s awesome! I wish we had a set up like that right now. I will one day. I’ve only been doing this for a little over two years so it’ll all get a lot more efficient as time goes on and figure out more tricks and stuff. Thanks sir. Happy milking to you too
@@pattonwoodworks not being a jerk here, but the autocorrect at the end was just too funny!
What kind of wood was that? Nice setup!
Bob Bergmann it was an oak. Not exactly sure what type of oak though. A guy dropped off a few loads of it from the city it was just a yard tree but had some nice lumber in it. Thanks I appreciate it!
Oh yeah another thing there will be trolls / critics so let that shit roll ! And keep driving forward
Wow how did you make that kind of money in that age?
Not often do the young educate the old, I like how you do things but some explanation for the unknowing would be cool.
If only there were decent trees in my area to mill. Its like fighting tooth and nail for decently sized logs. Also not having a mill doesnt help either, but 1 step at a time. I can mill with a chainsaw and ladder to get by, but the logs are a problem.
Snipe Stud00 hopefully you’ll be able to come across some big logs in the future! The chainsaw mill works good nothing wrong with that at all.
Patton Woodworks Id have to build it, but sure does. Just hard in my area as all we really have is thorn bushes. Also work around with the tractor as i have a metal leg and false knee. Im not but a couple years older than you, but sooner or later ill be there doing close to the same.
Snipe Stud00 oh wow well that’s really awesome your still able to do all that stuff then. I gotcha. Good deal. Good luck to you I hope it all works out good for you!
your sawdust and flitches have value , what do you do with your flitches and sawdust ?
lawrence aderneck yep I sell them both
Cuanto vale esta maquina gracias dedsde colombia.
Looks like Oak, How much would the pile of slabs be worth???
Looks like Walnut also
Mark Camaro it’s all oak in this video. I’m not really to sure. I don’t really sell oak very much I don’t even really know what a fair bf price on it is
Great stuff. Great work.
BTW.......

You: 2030+ subscribers.
Excellent 👍
Mark S thank you!
PW what are your plans with your mill? Are you looking to sell custom wood or just for your own use or what? I am wondering if you are looking at any kind of business from it.
Dave Brittain I just do it as a hobby right now one day in the future I’d love to do it as a full time business
When I was a kid we had a decent sized old time sawmill. Was always fascinated with the operation of it but my dad sold off the mill and it was moved away.
You should be a very good inspirational guide for those who are young, but need a positive direction in life. BTW : Do yourself and your back, a great big favor, by raising the bed of the sawmill up high enough, so that you will no longer need to bend over to see clearly what or where your blade is cutting or to get an accurate sight of the log being cut.
The Shadow Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it. Yeah that would be a good thing to do for sure. I’ll get it all set up perfect one day I have a lot of things I want to do yet. Thanks for watching!
Hope you have ear plugs in, nice saw.
Matt cat always have them in. Thank you
im 18 myself. But how did you earn the money for it?
I started with a really small mill with a small loan from my grandpa and lots and lots of work paid what I owed him and things kept going from there. Main thing is definitely hard work. If you work hard enough for it you can do anything you dream of
@@pattonwoodworks maybe i should get a cheap mill and upgrade from there. thanks
@@meandnature6452 yep that is a good idea. that's what I did. start small and work your way up as time and money allows. Woodmizer makes really good mills I would highly recommend them. good luck with everything hope all goes well for you
I'd like to know what kinda job you were givin that allowed you to afford such an expensive piece of equipment. I can tell you when I turned 15 I started working part time while in school and I would've needed prob a $15-20/hr job to save up enough in 3 years time. good for you though, better than spending it on some useless investment.
SaltyBro well I can tell you the only things I were ever given was a loving family and friends and the gift of working hard. I worked at a family friends construction business since I was 14 during the summers and winters after football practice was over. I payed $1400 to my first sawmill which was a Norwood lm29 and that has been pretty much the only money I’ve ever used from a job to pay for a sawmill. I worked my butt off with that sawmill to pay it off and pay for building the sheds you see in the videos and all the woodworking tools and then I save up after that and made the down payment on this mill. I bought it in October and payed it off in June. 100% of the money was from the sawmill in one way or another. Going all over to cut lumber, cutting at our house and selling wood I cut. It was one of my most accomplished moments paying off that sawmill every single penny of it from money that I’ve got from my own hard work while in high school. I’ve just always loved working hard and especially when I love cutting lumber as much as I do it isn’t to difficult.
That's awesome, I can't stand people who get handed great opportunities in life and they just piss it away. Good job.
SaltyBro yeah I know what you mean. Thank you though I appreciate that a lot
Patton Woodworks --- Great AND smart efforts on your part, you'll do very well in your future business'! I'm proud I found you, a great ray of hope for your generation!
real good job we cant what your doing but that ok ho cares right
I think its great what your doing but at your young age you should start wearing a respirator or when you get older you will feel the affects of that saw dust
Merik Edgel thanks for the concern. I agree with you and I wear one everyday this was literally the one time i didn’t wear one. Thank you again and have a good day sir
What is the price of the woodmizer?
ashish luckhoo woodmizer.com/configurator/models.aspx?models=9
You're going to generate ALLOT of sawdust....... What are you going to do with it all ?
kvnjspr we just pull it out of the shed and spread it around for now and it deteriorates into the ground. When I’m set up better I’ll be selling it for different stuff but just haven’t got there yet
If he has the trees he can make some money
18 I REMEMBER THAT I WAS IN VIETNAM WHEN I WAS 18
