We live in Western Pa. and Have around 100 Acres of Land, About 1/2 is ours the rest is my moms, We have 4 kids and one grandchild, 3 Golden Retrievers and one Cat. We enjoy working on our property and making improvements. We sell firewood and soon will be selling hardwood lumber.
Mike take a look at lite bright utube channel they have a great comparison on the bronco
You’re such good people. So reassuring knowing you two exist in this world.
Eva & Hannah, you both add blessings to this world. Best Wishes Always
I've been fighting a drainage issue in my back yard for years, so since it's been so dry, I tore it up and laid some new drain tile, then we got a bunch of rain last night. I'm happy to report that my back yard is draining quite nicely. 😁👍✌
You might look into a banding tool instead of using logs to weigh down your lumber. That way keeping different species separated and easily moved in manageable bundles might be a time saver and reduce warping.
New leaves, birds chirping, and short sleeves. It’s springtime.
I love watching in real time how yall went from years ago, a simple wood splitter and stacking beautiful rows of wood, to a bigger splitter, conveyor, sawmill, totes.. the picture posted on Instagram of the renewable processing plant really drove home how much you have evolved! Thanks for keeping us entertained. Cant wait to see the Bronco!
Hi Morgan Girls. K8JJU is a Amateur radio operator. A HAM. Congrats to him and all Y'all 💛
9 O'CLOCK SUNDAY MORNING 🌄 SITTING ON THE PORCH, DRINKING COFFEE, EATEN DOTS PRETZELS, AND WATCHING THE MORGAN'S DO WHAT THEY ENJOY! WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE! HAVE A DAY,! EVERYBODY!
Good morning,Me too I’m leaning something not watching junk on TV.thank you
Sounds like a great morning
Love the camera angles and music. Nice production Mike.
Is it just me or is this an awesome couple? Melissa's a absolute 10. Beauty,brains,and a hell of a worker
👍
@@oldmanfred8676 Good morning buddy
@@HallnoutMhall,
My buddy Michael!
I can relate to a spring in your Step now winters over! I’m 67 and the winters here in the snow belt of Indiana really take their toll on me! Love from Portage Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good morning Hunter ;-) and family too ;-)
Hi,. 2Girl ,have a good day
I was wondering if you would please explain why you are going to use pine for the playroom? The cabinetmaker in me would use the pine for 2x4s and maple or oak for the playroom and walnut or cherry for the office. I am sure you could find a kiln, even if you had to drive a load down to Nathan. Notty pine really went out of fashion in the 50's. I have ripped a lot of it out redoing basements, sunrooms etc. You have a lot of hardwood on the property and if drying is your only problem, you are smart people you could figure it you.
Maybe you can fill a couple of those totes partially full of water and use them s weights for the top of your lumber stacks. Just a thought.
Gday Mike ,iv been watching your videos for many months now ,and i was wondering what if you built your self a saw dust though . about 10 feet long, 16 inch wide and 10 inch deep to catch the saw dust , and also add about 10 inches to the saw dust shut ,that would give you about 2 feet of walking space down by the saw mill. you could build 2 of these and when one is full you could move it by forklift, what do you think,
hoo roo,
Glad to see you getting your lumber cut up for your building, it wont be long and you'll need it!. The weather definitely gets you going to getting things done!. Morgans have a day!.
Sorry for the second comment but I just realized how much I appreciate your humility and passion for everything that you do... THANK YOU for sharing
Thanks Mike and Melissa for the information. I'm on the Zoning commission board for my Township here in NE Ohio. I passed this information on to my Trustee. Thanks for always having positive thoughts and information!
Loved it, many thanks. And greetings from North Wales. Hi Hunter 👍
Good morning from Canton Ohio. New to comment but have been enjoying your site for some time now. I also have my barn from Pole Barns Direct to house my Kubota MX5800. Your videos make me wish that I would have sprung for the tractor cab....oh well. In any event, thanks for sharing your beautiful family and activities. It is something that I REALLY enjoy waking up to watch.
Mike your guys lips are off with sound, or is it me
yes , I see it too .
Good morning Mike and Melissa, Hanna and Eva, and HUNTER, I know he was supervising ! Great video around there and happy your grass got watered in too. A little rain can wash away our misery! That’s a great program grant being given away by Kubota. Good luck to all who apply. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really enjoy watching your videos. My wife is a do-er as well most projects I do she is there helping. It spoils me some times. I was spreading some dirt the other day and had to get off the tractor to remove some roots and rocks. Here she comes with the trailer and started loading them up😀
Teamwork...you two are awesome!
Good morning Morgans. Thanks for sharing the information about the Kobota Grant. It's a terrific opportunity.
Mike look at getting some banding material to band that wood. You wouldn’t need to put weight on it and then you can move it with the pallet forks with out worrying about dropping it. Keep up the good work your projects are coming along great. Better yet you could use those 1” ratchet tie down straps save you a lot of money.
Green wood will stain from steel banding, it will also stain if you don't use hardwood stickers between the layers of boards. Usually if the stickers are placed carefully lined up, tipping isn't an issue. But for added security, throwing a ratchet binder on a pack when moving them isn't a bad idea, other than the fact it pushes the boards together and eliminates some air flow to the edges. Air flow is key to initial drying and removing that surface moisture, especially in high moisture woods like red oak and Cherry. Ash is a drier wood so its a little faster initially. But it still takes a kiln drier to get it to 8% and remain dimensionally stable. Waiting for Mike to announce plans for a small solar kiln at his operation. Woodmizer has made them for many years in different sizes. I have also seen them built from shipping containers for drying wood or firewood in baskets. A former coworker built a setup for drying his firewood. He has a niche market in Chicago, he makes a killing, and moves it by the semi load.
@@markheintz1878 ok I was thinking the nylon banding material with the steel s hooks for banding. I didn’t know that the steel would stain green wood👍 I’ll remember that. Then after commented on using banding material I forgot that stuff is about a $500 investment to get started. Thanks for your knowledge Mark. 👍🏽
@@samengler539 plastic as you mentioned is a great alternative, its also alot easier to reuse it than steel banding. At the mill we did use steel banding when it was shipped to a kiln, but only because it would be removed in a couple days, then restacked for the drying chambers.
@@markheintz1878 Hi Mark. You mention that if you band the wood it would pull it together and would slow down the drying process. If you was to lay a 2x4 across the top of the stack then put the tie down strap under the pallet and over and around the center of that 2x4 it would pull the wood down and tight and not pull the would together. Or mike Mark and I have it all figured out for you. Cheap and easy. Two. 2x4 cut just over with of you wood stack and two ratchet tie downs.
@@samengler539 yes that would work too. Your idea would be good for stacking in the yard. The packs only need to be tightly banded when shipping so they don't lose their shape or honeycomb on the truck. Kiln dried and surfaced pine are the worst for that. If the ends aren't tight against the bulkhead or each other, one hard brake and the centers all come out, it makes a mess.
I watch you guys all the time.. thanks for the videos..
Good morning Hunter! You guys work great as a team and get a lot accomplished.
for the longevity of your blade you are right about trying to keep them clean as much as possible also you have that debarker on your mill witch help also I don't have any heavy equipment to my stuff around but i built myself what I call a log carrier so my logs are never being drag in the dirt I just cut the tree down and bring the carrier next to the tree and roll it on my carrier one day this week i will send you picture of my carrier it will make you smile I believe
Cool program thanks Mike for letting us know. Everyone enjoy your Sunday.
That K8JJU license plate is a special Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) license plate. Ham Radio operators are first responders that set up communications in disaster stricken areas when all other communications fail such as tornados, hurricanes, floods, etc.
You should somehow put up a list of states you don't have for plates.
A light rain is nice !!
We have been getting heavy rain here in south Central Iowa
What a great offering by Kubota. Can't wait to see the license plate collection.
just a thought....i'd hook the cant hook at the bottom of log...will flip a lot easier...
Mike I have a question, is Melissa going to run the mill some day? Great video and great job 👍.
ALAN! I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING!
Melissa can handle anything,smart and strong 💪 lady
Love the channel and love the Mogan's. What happens to the live edge pieces from the logs?
Mike,
If you have a moment, you might comment on how you fuel your equipment. Do you use 5 gallon cans, or larger fuel systems. Does PA have a provision for off road diesel?
Thanks
Jim C
My then young kids helped me with unloading lumber from a stack. I told them you can't turn both left or right when doing it by yourself. Then it will be in wrong growing direction. Took a couple of years before they understood I was just kidding them! Haha! (I've always been a bad father, and it's not less now with grandkids! "Worms are very nutritious! Birds eating them can even fly!" - "Don't say so to my kids, Daddy"!)
Hi Morgan Family! Thank you so much for the videos. Your the first channel I started watching on woodmizer sawmills and recently my dad and I put a down payment on a woodmizer LT40HDS Wide! So excited to start a family business and also start milling. So thanks again for your tips and techniques on milling!
You won't regret the Lt40, it's a great machine, especially if you set it up for the longer lengths. Good luck on your new venture.
Morning guys. Mike you're going to find the older you get the less you like winter.
Hello Morgans, what great way to start a Sunday, another video.
I saw Sam Engle had the same idea for you while I was typing. Lots of people watching and enjoying your videos
Does wood Mizer offer a band sharpening service? If so, is it cost effective? You may have a local guy that does that.
Yes they do last i heard but they also sell a tooth setter and sharpener if you want to be doing it yourself. But having someone local would save the turn around time.
If they lived closer, I would be over there helping as long as I could stay off camera!
What do you do with the laps of the logs ? Morning from NC
place the off cuts on a pallrt and place on top of your cut stack when yor done to keep weight on top during drying
You know Mike, I think Ty caould give you some pointers on how to best stack your red pine. I’ve seen him expertly relocate and stack boxes. So he probably has some good ideas on how to stack lumber.
That Kubota Home Town Pride is A Awesome Opportunity For Someone!! That Is Great!!
Love to See The Saw Mill Product!! 👍👊
Like always great videos.Thank you for sharing
Mike oil the rollers not the rails.
If it is like my sawmill the rollers have sealed bearings.
good work u2!... nice lumber Mike...TY and grand ma!...MELISSA with the muscle!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
PA winters sure are long and gloomy. I moved to Texas 4 years ago from PA and idk what's worse, the long hot and humid summers here or PA's long and cold winters. Where's the happy medium!?
Yea thats a tough one, I definitely don't like it real hot either lol
Buffalo native here. After living in Florida for the past 26 years, I can tell you that for me personally, I would rather have a dismal January and February vs 6 month summers that feel like you’re living in a sauna. Cold weather all the way for me 💯
When you start to mill a log, do you have an idea what you may cut out of it ? I mean like 2x4's, 2x6's etc ?
It depends on if you are sawing for grade or sawing for yield.
Hope a little town wins
Hi Hunter!!
Think of all the sawdust under your stickers!
Good morning JB
GOOD MORNING Morgan family, take care friends, much love 💘
Mike you were talking about the new bounce in your step and I agree. I think we came off of a summer of Covid and everyone was having to stay close and then a cold winter and not even getting to work outside as much. I think we are just now seeing how Covid really affected everyone. Even for those who didn’t contract the virus.
Hi! Chuck Logan here..I put those license plates in the mail this morning (4/12/21) for Eva and they told me they would be there on (4/15 (Thursday) or Saturday! Have fun collecting license plates. 😀
Mike you have a lot to do yet the wedding must go on Ty is cute as a button can't believe grandma can leave him
Just an observation. Looks like you need a dust mask when running the sawmill. Looks like it’s coming right at your face. I may be wrong. Enjoy your videos. Regards, Phil
Non stop community service - along with your agenda! Mighty fine folks you are! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
Hello M. & M. from rainy S.E. Ohio. I had Eva a Ohio military Army veteran plate but didn't get it off vehicle when I sold it. Sorry. And hello Hunter
I’m the first to admit it, when I push it hard, really hard, I can get pretty cranky, too. That’s when the little things seem to set me off. But I am blessed to have an amazing wife who is my counterbalance and she brings me back in line quickly. It’s teamwork and 40+ years of marriage!
It is so nice to know that there are people around like the Morgans you always are reaching out to help even your daughters you show a true love for people. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Hello Hunter. Ed
Love your content. I was curious on your decision between the lx150 and the other option I am considering the Lt15 wide.
Mike you mentioned you were going to add some weight to your drying slabs. May I suggest some 2×4's across stack and putting a couple of IBC totes on top. That should be plenty of weight to keep those slabs from cupping.
What's more interesting? Mike Morgan Grumpy or Mike Morgan Bounce in His Step?
Hello....How is your Harbor Freight tamper plate holding up? Have you used it much?
Just a tip from an old sawmill worker, cover your stacks with longer low grade boards. Let them take most of the sun and weathering. We made covers out of low grade red oak and 4x4's. They were made 1 ft wider and 2 ft longer than the stacks they covered. It makes a difference and not
that much extra work placing them with a set of forks.
Hi, I don't know if anybody has asked this question, but have you had second thoughts concerning your desiscion not to have hydraulics with the Woodmizer?
Why do you just take a little bit off at a time to get to the Cant? Weight?
He is cutting one board at a time, probably 1+1/8", or 2" if he wants construction lumber. The cant is the heart thats left after you have taken all the salable lumber and usually they are sawn into pallet deck boards or stringers for pallets. Cants are usually 4x4, 4x6 or 6x6 if you have a market for wide deck boards. Cants are also usually very low quality wood, hence the end use in pallets.
@@markheintz1878 Thanks for helping me understand
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ Happy Sunday... have a blessed day
I put pallets on my lumber piles. About three thick all along the pile. Grumpy you say... Time for Dairy Queen 😋
Very cool of Kubota do that. I really want to buy a Sawmill after watching you guys, but I just bought my tractor so.... patience. lol.
I remember in a video a while ago Mike answered a question about the saw dust and how he didn't do anything with it. Could the saw dust be used to make fire starters to go with the fire wood?
Yes the sawdust can be mixed with a little wax and pressed into pucks for firestarters. One youtuber is making them un egg crates. She adds them to each bag of firewood.
Mike are you still pounding the pavement, each morning, in town? You guys both look great, happy and ready to make things happen this spring and summer.
I was wondering if you wouldn't get another cut out of one of the red pines, by not turning the last time to square up the cat, leaving the bark side down, especially if cutting through the heartwood would provide useable timber?
800 LF out of a blade. How much are replacements and is the HS Class sharpening them for you?
so went to HD yesterday to see about a trailer and happened by a piece of plywood for sale.....$66????? for real?? My friends kept mentioning the high price of lumber and i just figured it went up but $66????????? and no forester thinks my 300 forest is worth cutting? hmmmm.
I hear you on lumber prices. It's nuts. Here in mn, 1/2 osb is 33 a sheet, it use to be 8 or 9
Awesome info shared with our two local mayors and our lions club thanks Morgan Family keep up your kindness that will be a huge blessing for some community for sure
Mike, not trying to sound critical but on your interview shots, you know, the ones where you or Melissa or both stand in front of the camera; could you turn the auto focus off so that you stay in focus instead of everything else. I love watching you and learn so much about you in every installment keep up the great work. And, good luck with the big project it looks great so far.
It is so good to see that Melissa's "attitude of gratitude" is lived by all of the Morgans! The message from daughters Hannah and Eva at the beginning was a wonderful touch!
Mike! You getting a little grumpy??????
Say it ain't so! 😱😱😱
Nice 😊
How Bout Ya Hank
Mike - I was watching a video by - Sawing with Sandy- he made a rack to throw his off cuts / bark cutoffs onto- it is made so he can chain saw up the pieces into firewood lengths very easy- just though you might make use of an easy way to use up your off cuts- take care
Perhaps use ratchet straps to pull the cut timber tight and flat while drying. Love your content. Have a blessed day.
Good Morning from Elkins, WV
It’s been 50 years ago I was at the Forest Festival in Elkins. I need to do another one if they still have them.
@@frankbever1788 They do. This year is a modified version due to covid.
Love the channel. Curious if you can sharpen your blades on the sawmill?
Just a friendly suggestion. When turning the log, if you get the hook lower under the log you can use your leg strength to turn it instead of finishing the turn with your back. Growing up my father had a sawmill and that is what we did when not in school, so I learn ever way to try to make it a little easier on the body. Thanks and I continue to enjoy watching the progress!
As I watch y'all use the different tri pods, I remembered that one of them got blown over and trashed a camera. Have you thought about using a weight bag and cord to hold the tri pod down. a small sand bag made from socks or if you wanted to invest there are shot filled weight bags too.
Enjoyed the music at the beginning that matched Melissa manhandling that log on the saw...
Sawing goes quicker with a good helper. Now, you can teach Mellissa how to run the saw mill. She would be good at it.
I like collect license plate s too. I was waiting for a person trade their Pennsylvania plate Court home. I try to get trade in for new ones. But I messed getting it I see by getting address from cite and see about sending some..
Mike why not put a tarp down to chatch ths saw dust every onche in awhile you pull up and away from mill .BOB in OK.
Forgive me if you've answered this already, but did you ever find a good use for all the sawdust from the sawmill?
Good morning from Northeast Mississippi!
Hi Bruce!
Your show is one of my favorites I love you so much I just love to see you just a little bit longer maybe 25 to30minutes
Love the music and the setting sun when you were sawing that pine. Melissa,and Mike you make a great team!
