Cocking / decocking a revolver. Oh, and good morning!
Just worked the action on my .357 and confirm your guess. Cocking and Decocking revolver.
@@evilbrat5376 .......ya but what does the clue have to do with it?
The rifle is missing on the wall
@@henryoppermann134 very possible. Sounded too light for a lever action.
@@Joe-pb3lx Rick Grimes on walking dead carried a revolver in his life as a sheriff.
I don’t see the Henry on the wall. So I’ll guess working the action of the Henry.
That is Melissas gun and hubby says you could be right. Good call if you are correct.
That sawdust is the best stuff for pastures. You spread it and let it set over winter it disintegrates and keeps soil from turning hard and promotes grass growing and spreading.
Racking a lever action. Good morning, all Morganites. Blessed are those.!
I'm not guessing anything on this channel until you tell us what the stone count was for last year. Almost April and still no answer.
Same here
Yeah, been so long I thought I missed it, guess not
Uhmmmm....not commenting? About that.
And i thought he was giving away the old wolfe ridge log splitter. Its now a shovel rest.
Are you upset princess?
Rain is my nemesis. When I was in my 20's and 30's I really didn't care too much about being in the rain. Then in my 40's and 50's I had a policy of not working in the rain. I would put my tools away and shut down the job, customers would say, "What are you doing?" I would say to them it's either take a day or two of rain delays or get sick and be out of work for ten days...also there was the problem of all my tools getting wet (carpentry and water don't mix well). Now that I'm retired, I don't even like to work in the shop when it rains outside. Great video Mike thumbs up.
Ditto!
Henry golden boy lever action rifle , it’s also missing from your back wall
Mike, you should set up a vacuum system for all that sawdust so that it goes into a big container that you can then dump anywhere or possibly even sell to a farm for animal bedding!
Henry 22lr lever action riffle...model H001
Good one. I was thinking similarly. Winchester 94 30-30 Centennial Edition with the octagonal barrel. Since that Henry is hanging on the wall, you are probably right. (:-)
The sound is a Pez dispenser
That's a heavy duty Pez dispenser 😂😂
A hardware chain here in Canada has the motto: "We've got your lumber". I was trying to get them to let me pick over the economy 2X4's one day. I may have convinced them when I said their motto that day should be "We've got your kindling".
Mike, an old dairy barn gutter set up along side the sawmill would probably be nice if you are getting a permanent spot set up for the sawmill. Just a gutter trough formed in the concrete with conveyor in it to haul out the sawdust.
You should take a few IBC bladders and cut some 12" deep containers to set under the sawdust discharge on the saw mill to catch all the saw dust. They'd be easy to slide around on the gravel since they're plastic. When full, fork them with the tractor or skidsteer and carry over to the burn pit to empty. It would make cleanup easier and save your gravel.
Good idea!
Especially since he doesn’t have to walk along that side with his hydraulic mill. Excellent idea.
You are a very special man thanks for your talent and your great shows for entertainment for the old folks to sit on the couch unfortunately
I agree with you. I will take cold and snow any day over wind and damp.
I think I will make a fire and enjoy while I have my morning coffee.
Your son does a awesome job filling the wood shed ❤
15 years working for LOWES running building/lumber department. Used to have a crew of 5 or 6 . Now you are lucky to have 2 or 3.
So the culling of wood racks is very hard to get done 😊.
Boy Scouts! Maybe your could set aside some of the better burn pile wood and the slabs, and have a processing day with some local Boy Scout troups, that could set them up with all the wood they will need for the next year’s campouts. Donating it sure beats just burning it up in the burn pile.
Ffl, not your wood to worry about
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠. We got some warm weather out here in Montana and I saw the first Robins and Bluebirds of the season. Then winter came back. I’m sure the not enjoying the weather.
What I found when it was windy out and chilly out was to wear a good windbreaker to stop that wind from cutting like a knife I lived and worked in the high Arctic where there's no wind breaks or nothing to stop the wind I've learned how to stay warm the coldest weather that I've experienced was -68 below Fahrenheit and the largest extreme change of weather was from 40 above to 40 below in like an hour and a half that was painful
HAPPY EASTER ✝️ To the Morgan family !!!
He is Risen ascended into Heaven to sit at the Right hand of God but he shall return again soon!
God Bless The Morgan Family and All the subscribers. 😁👍🏼
VERY SOON ❤🙏
2000 years later and ya’ll still believing these fairy tales.
+ If you or any of yours ; in a couple of weeks ‘during Orthodox Easter’ r gonna be in Jerusalem ; just get some candles; raise’m up during prayers and see what’s gonna happen ; yep , even with you ..
Why can't we all believe what we believe?@@dinotudisca3821
You are right about box store lumber, junk and has been that way for a long time. Have a blessed Easter from Pensacola.
Great video. Woodyard enjoyment is the best, especially with fresh cut oak.
Morning, Mike! As always, a great video!
Though they are not great for lumber, (lots of warping in boards) I cut 1"x 1" stickers out of Quaking Aspen, since I have many of them 12-14" in dia.! They dry quick, and leave no staining, saving Oak for lumber!
Hi Hunter!!
Mike please let all of the family know that we wish you all a very Happy Easter from NC!
Good Morning Mr. Morgan. Cold, windy, damp weather today. Grabbing my coffee mug - again. Have a safe day and a great Easter tomorrow..
Happy Easter to you all, same weather both sides of the pond. But a little warmer your side, when it stops snowing I see. You all have a restful holiday and enjoy your family time, if they come visiting, Keep safe and let’s hope it’s a peaceful one for us all!
I had a Woodmiser LT15 and I was amazed by the amount of time I spent cutting stickers, moving slab wood and disposing of sawdust. Sawing and stacking lumber was maybe about half the time and labor.
Happy Easter all.
Good morning Morgan’s! Have a day! It’s a beautiful day here in South Jersey!
We are SE of you, in MD.
I agree about the wind, it's been chilly.
And, for safety reasons, no work in the woods when it's gusting 40 mph!
Mike re the video on your building conundrum. Taking a step back, you already have a perfectly good building to become your Timber or Logging Building - you currently use it as a huge (and expensive) gazebo - the Pavilion. Why not build some smaller buildings ( eg, larger sized log store shape) with all your onsite sawn lumber, to house all the plant and machinery to keep them from the elements, and then add a concrete bases and gutters (as you were going to do anyway) to the Pavilion and then put sides and the 2 x16’ roller doors you talked about on it too. That way you have your Timber/Logging Building on site, near the house and it will cost a lot less to run power from the Building to the Pavilion than it would to run the same power out to the Clearing.
You could also use the lower space where the burn pit is to put those equipment buildings/shelter and possibly consider moving the log stores down there too, and that will then give you a perfectly positioned Timber/Logging building that can take the kiln etc and give you all the space you around it for access - you might need to move the split firewood bunker somewhat to get the 360 degree space around it for trucks etc).
I also recall that the left side of the Building (the garage side) was going to be for plant and machinery, but I guess that’s now been hijacked by Melisa for her gym stuff etc. If that stuff could go elsewhere, you’ve also got that space back for what it was intended for.
Another radical idea is build a new and larger house in the Clearing and then use the current house for the something else - that doesn’t solve the power issue, but if you were going to put a building in the Clearing, a house might be the best type of building to put there - it could be an absolute fabulous place for a house with great space for a garden and some meadow space too.
Anyway, just some idle thoughts from sunny Scotland.
We are having perfect weather here in central ky. Its still cool in the mornings but high 50s low 60s in the afternoon. I been getting some chores done her around the house because turkey season is approaching fast. HAPPY EASTER yall
Good Morning Mike and family. Hope you’re all doing well on this day before Easter. Chilly morning on our side of state. Have a blessed day from Jeff in NePa.
Sounds like a well oiled lever action.
Fun fact about the Zippo. The American Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in the 1930s, but when World War II started, the company ceased all production for consumer markets altogether and instead manufactured lighters exclusively for troops being sent to war.
Hello Mike. I really appreciate your experience and wisdom with regard to equipment....especially since you do many of the same things on your property that we do. So I want to get your opinion about which piece of equipment I should get next. We live on a 6 acre homestead in the Ozarks of Arkansas and hope to purchase an additional 11 acres that adjoins our property. I already have a 50 hp 4x4 utility size John Deere 5103 tractor with FEL, bucket, forks and grapple attachments. I have a Norwood HD36 Lumber Pro sawmill (all manual) that can cut up to 20 ft length lumber. My son has a firewood business, which is mostly supplied with logs by a local tree service. He is planning on purchasing an Eastonmade 22-28 splitter and possibly a 24 ft conveyor (Wolf Ridge). We already have a 16 ft dump trailer with 2 ft sidewalls. We are trying to decide whether to purchase a skid loader (probably around 75 hp and 9,000 lbs), or a mini excavator (probably around 50 to 60 hp). What would you recommend? Feel free to comment about any equipment I currently have as well. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Glad we motivate you to hit the wood yard on these crappy days. 🤣👍🏻
Easter blessings to the Morgan family. Been thinking about the location of your kiln and sure many have made this suggestion; but here goes. I would put the kiln & storage building where the wood bunker currently is, across from the pavilion. And I would move the fire wood operation to the clearing.
Adam from hometown arcers had a metal plate welding to the table, so that wood wouldn’t spring back into the operators midsection.
had an issue with the rear door on my minivan, needed a quick solution, went to big box lumber dept. told the guy I needed one bent and curvy 1X2 to hold door up. gosh how we laughed.
Mike, former Yinzer here.
Suggestion: it would be awesome to see a pond upgrade series using all the new equipment. After all, your grandkids are approaching fishing age. 🙂
Anyway, good content.
When I built my garage, I ordered a whole bunk of 2x4s, expecting them to just pull a bundle off the inve tory rack. Oh no! When I.popped the band's the whole stack sprung g every which way. Out of that whole bunk there were about 15 boards I could use. I played for 2s or better. I called the business rep at the store and insisted he come and look at the pile of scrap they sent me. If he didn't come I was calling the tv station. He showed up then made the yard man who had done this come out with a brand new bunk of lumber and band up the (s)crap that he tried to stick me with
You need a farm drinking trough put down the side of the mill to catch the saw dust
Mike, I am embarrassed to say that I did not recognize that sound, especially given the fact that I have owned several Colt pythons over the years. Shame on me! Bill H from Cranberry Township
Your #1 fan in AK... This seems as easy as the zippo! Sounds like my 44 mag.... Sounds a lot newer than mine... So I could be wrong... I cocked every revolver in the house... It's not a rugar... I'm sticking with my colt...
On another note, 6 foot walnut boards... enough to do a stepside bed on a chevy... shipped to Alaska 99623. $$$???
back to your other video where you spoke about the mill operation and set up. It seems to me the better place for the mill set up and kiln would be the wood yard. then just do the wood yard in the woods opening. then you could just run a small , say 100 amp line out to a small building in the woods. then you could use the building all ready built for wood drying and just build a roof building over the mill . something similar to what we have. easy to clean around and load logs.. I would just keep the cost down till you see where the lumber sales go. you will be surpriced how many people around you have mills. it's a tough market.
Working the lever on a lever action. Happy Easter weekend to all
Hey Mike i watch every video really enjoy it. Did I miss the final stone count for 2023? Keep up the good work.
That dark wood in that oak log looks like it is bacterial infected. I think it is somewhat contagious in trees but probably not in log or lumber but beware of the possibility of staining other woods. Bacterially infected wood is generally punky and has a distinct odor.
Good morning y'all !!! Big hello from the interior of British Columbia.
Thank you for the video.
I am no wood expert but even I can tell that stuff at big box stores isn't too swift. But I don't have the option to make my own. No trees, no saw mill here in the birbs.
That sound was cocking and uncocking a revolver! Cool video Mike!👍❤️
I agree with the wind we been getting hammered with it also and looks like lots of rain next week but keep the video's rolling🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Revolver being dry fired.
I used a zippo and actually have several, including one from the last run of lighters made in Niagara Falls Canada before they shut that plant down. And clip on leather belt pouches.
It's too bad there are so many fakes out there.
The Zippo hand warmers work great! I have many extra hours in my climbing stand and 3 deer to show for that extra time! I a set of Kamik insulated rubber boots (Best boots for hunting in November in Eastern Canada) that I put them in the top on the inside, warms your feet up with the blood flow! Only drawback is once you light them you have to wait for them to run out of fuel.
Rick rack them stickers 4x4 by wood stove and blow the heat through them with a fan, i ran out of wood a while back and thats how I been drying my wood, it might not be ideal but its better than nothing. Blessings brother
Sounds like the lumber from Lowe’s is the same in Pennsylvania
Some of the lumber here is garbage and they want a premium
Thanks for the video fun to watch the saw mill
PEZ candy dispenser
Mike, my first thought was it a pop can, the older kind that you actually pulled the little top off with your finger, it had a ring to put your finger through. 2 people opening up 2 cans. Definitely harder then last one. Happy Easter to you & your family.
Mike the big box store lumber is why I think your idea on doing lumber is a Good one
357 Revolver. Morning. Thanks for the video.
Hi Mike, another enjoyable video. Re stickers......would you be able to cut some out of your first and second cut as to turn a log on the mill, rather than burning them? Also, check out Nathan's (Out of the Woods), lastest video with him emptying his kiln, then refilling it. He builds a special pallet that he stacks is lubber on to air dry to start with, then put in the kiln. His pallets are the usual length of the lubber he cuts. He screws slats 2"-3" slats to 2" x 3" or 4" bearers spaced at the distance to normally place his/your stickers. Then, he nails stickers on top of the slats in line with the bears underneath, then, stacks his boards or slabs as normal on the pallet. This system allows air to easierly circulate around ALL the boards/slabs on the pallet and he is able to use his yellow or red machine depending on the weight of the stack, without the need to unstack the stack to move it to the kiln, then restack in the kiln and of course do the revise to get the dried boards/slabs out of the kiln and stored out the weather.
Yes, it is a bit of work getting yourself set up with the number of pallets you'll need but it'll save a lot of double handling in the long run, especially when you get your sawmill and dry storage shed you intend to build. Plus, you have more than enough logs on the property, including the ones out in the woods, to use for the pallets. Good luck.
In Alberta, wood for sale in the provincial parks has to be of majority coniferous. Trees that take 80 or so years to grow back to marketable size. On the other hand, white poplar which is one of the only two natural hardwoods we have is not accepted. They will grow back into firewood size in 30 or so years and will self-sprout from the root system. No need for reforesting. The reason given by the government is it doesn't snap crackle and pop.
You're not getting soft, icy cold wind will gut through any soft clothing and give you a chill
This is the reason I don't go to the big box stores for lumber. I go to the lumber yards luckily there are still several of those around her in Oklahoma City.
Good Morning. The weather man was 1/2 right. He said we were destined for 2' of snow. We got 1 foot of snow.
Happy Easter to the Morgan family! Hello Hunter.
Mike you could make and sell awesome tomato plant stakes.
Jeff from Ontario
So, while you are in the building at the beginning why does the fire flame never move??😁It caught me as a distraction that it never changed.
Now you need more stickers so you can stack those stickers to dry out.
Hi Mike. About super lumber stores: No. Expensive. My best friend saw the prices. Then said: Outrageous! Quality is poor! That's the reason why. I ❤ to have a sawmill. I need a wooded property. I ❤ to have a mixed pine & hardwood trees in my property. We'll see. I can make better quality lumber myself. The noise: A gun's hammer. Mike's coldness: I hoped your not get " soft?" Especially. Being at the West Virginia's house. I believe. It's cooler there. We did have a 20 to 30 degrees drop in temperatures. Last Friday's wind was 37 degrees windchill in southwestern Vermont. Thanks Mike. Have a good holiday weekend. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing how that Oak jumps when you split it.
Thank you for the video
Happy Easter!!!
I use to do concrete work and we did a bunch at a lumber yard here in West Virginia where they didn't saw the wood bc it was hauled to them and they went through and sorted it and stickered it bc they had really big dryers then they would sort it and grade it but the stickers they used was the just like you cut but they had like little raised spots on them and they said that way you didn't have that width of the sticker that took longer to dry through it would be just a little spot the wood was laying on.
Cooking and firing an empty firearm. No way should you buy stickers. Especially since the condition of the store bought isn't good quality. Time and effort is what you specialize in. You've got the wood and equipment. That feeling you get when you have what you need and it doesn't have to be purchased, has just got to be worth the time and effort. Yeah, they have to dry. You should have cut more weeks ago. Isn't it great that you're retired, yet you don't have enough time to get done all you want to do!! That's the good life!! Happy life!! Awesome RUclips content!! Thank you for sharing!!👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
G'day from Down Under. Mike there may be a market for tomato stakes with those 6' stickers as well dio you think? They go for 2 bucks a pop here.
Same here in Moonzie Scotland Mike 😊
That sounds like an old style table lighter. Most were silver and when everyone smoked, it was right there next to the ashtray.
It’s a Flint striker for a gas fire or welding torch
🟠 Mike, what do you do w/ all that Sawdust? Can you make firestarter with it? maybe mix it with some sort of safe accelerant (wax, etc..) that solidifies it and make blocks or something of the sort.
Waste of time
@@daveklein2826 ur comment's a bigger waste.. 😄
You should take all of your sawdust and make compressed wood pellets My dad used to work for Anderson wood.And that's what they done with Their sawdust, turned into a pretty Good source of side revenue
Relived I got that right, like this game Mike, can we do it again?
The weather has been brisk to say the least in NW PA this past week. I concur, it's the wind that makes it difficult to get anything done outside. Looks like wet weather for the beginning of April.
Sure does, the next 4 or 5 days don’t look very good
Happy Easter! The wind is evil here in the Midwest! No fun!
Happy Easter to you and your family
Pez dispenser.
Sounds like a Henry lever action. Definitely a classic!
Happy Easter to you and your family! I think you should make Wood Shed kits, pre cut wood for your area since you did a great job on building yours 😊. I’m starting mine in the fall, I’m a 66 year old widow and have to do things myself know, but I always liked building things from wood, the only thing I can’t do will the roof as I’m handicapped, but I have to keep moving. Thank you for your videos 😊
The soda can opening, orange soda possibly, when Darrell and Rick were in the truck after retrieving the vending machine, where they first met Jesus. Hubby says it was the crossbow sound when Darrell and Carol set it.
Wife bought me some fire starter. We'll take it camping with us this year. Happy Easter from Georgia. Its beautiful down here today.
Good morning Mack 😌🌞
Sounded like maybe the clicking of the gate a pair of spoons or locking load a gun
Cooking the hammer on the colt python. Nice gun..
Hot Shower Mike!
Almost certain that is the sound of loading a PEZ dispenser and dispensing a piece of candy.
Hi mike you were talking about building a new building have you looked into 2 containers and build a roof over them and then you can store stuff inside the containers just an idea something to think about
Great video, I think the sound is a soda of a pop can opening
Yes we have had wind for a week or so and it dose seem to cut right through you especially after the first part of March we had 60 to 70 degrees off and on it kinda felt like spring But Not So Much Lately with the mid 30s at best with 30 to 40 mph wind gusts!!
Thanks Mike Happy Resurrection Day!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Happy Easter Morgan Family
It’s the wind. I was outside for two hours replacing the lights on my garage above the overhead doors, I could not feel my fingertips the whole rest of the day. And I was wearing gloves too.
