- This evening Melissa and I put a nasty looking white oak on the Woodmizer LX 150 sawmill. I will use this wood for flooring the Tower Blind. Turned out to be a beautiful log once we opened it up.

One thing for both of you - doing great. Put the saw dust and chips in a protected spot - shade. Add coffee grounds (really) and it will become a compost in no time and make wonderful dressing for gardens and pots. Worms digest the dust and love coffee. Stumbled on to this when I was a young teenager. Now 72.
Martin, did the same when I was young also, coffee grounds 'n garden scraps in the compost pile, with a bushel of manure we always had abundant crops from the garden n, the BEST worms for fishin!
The rain seems to be catching you all like it is us here in NC. That will look nice for flooring, looking forward to seeing once you are done putting it down. Always enjoy watching the projects you all tackle. Hope you guys have a great week! Spicey chicken ROCKS!
Awesome that is sooo fasanating to see the outcome when sawing logs!!👍👊
These small timber cutters will be the future of the lumber industry as they are an impressive new entry into the market . The strikes taking place in the industries 'ie' Vancouver areas will end their rain and these smaller groups will in their numbers fit themselves in . The small equipment presented here is an example of progress moving fast !
My dad bought a Foley Belsaw sawmill years ago, with a big 36 inch blade. PTO driven off of an old IH semi tractor. Had so much fun milling logs.
Logs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!
Melissa is very attractive in those Carhart's! Looks like great wood and, as the floor for a blind, will be used for a great purpose!
I am so glad I found this channel or this channel found me.
Every man needs a good Melissa and a faithful dog. Ain’t nuthin in the world more valuable. 👍
which is which?
Mike, you and I are lucky guys. My wife too is a hard worker. She is constantly going. Have time to take care of the grandkids, our house, my daughters house and doing some work around the house. It’s hard to keep up with her. Beautiful lumber also.
You’re a mighty lucky man Mike. You have a beautiful wife that helps you with whatever your doing. You have four great looking kids. btw, I can’t believe your wife had four kids! She definitely doesn’t look like she’s had that many. Farm life will keep you in shape. Especially if you do your own logging. You have a great looking family, dogs included! You are a blessed man.
Mike, I just don't understand how you do it. Your videoing capability is amazing, you work all day, come home and do all this.... All the best to you and yours.
Sam and Barb Ratliff from Elkview WV. We are retired/Sam from USAF and State of WV. Barb is retired from State of WV. Sam makes solar porch sitters for craft shows Porch sitters are little men who sit on your porch and shine We both enjoy your show so much.
Nice
That's got to be such a cool feeling knowing you can cut your own lumber. And actually build something out of it. I'm very excited for the tower blind build.
Awesome learning experience
Since you are getting ready to put up a blind. For years we picked up the first bark cuts from a local mill to face our hunting blinds. Shot them against the exterior with a nail gun. Great camouflage from mother nature. Just looks like a big tree. Better than trashing the first cut.
hi there looking real good . don't mean to rain on your parade . sawing the log is the tip of the ice burg and may in fact only take up 10% of the time in board making . just think get the log , store it . put it . on the mill now saw it . now you have slab wood ,sawdust , the boards . boards need to be stickered now new building for sawmill , building for boards changing blades upkeep it just goes on and on . but for some reason when you see that perfect board come off you get a big smile on your face and it makes it all worth it . hears to many years of happy sawing . once you get sawdust in your shoes you hooked . john
It must be great to have some land and your own wood mixer. I watch from Australia and I think it is terrific that your wife is so involved in what you do. Let her have a go at the machine and you lump the timber. :)
I really enjoy your videos especially saw milling. I absolutely agree it is so satisfying and addicting to create your own lumber. On a safety note you may already be aware but just in case it is very dangerous to stand in the plane of rotation of the saw blade when it is running. I have witnessed a saw blade breaking on a similar mill and shooting out the side at a very high velocity as the shrouds did not contain the broken blade. Looked like Melissa got kind of close at one point when she was doing some recording with her phone. The bandsaw mills are fantastic machines but do have some inherent dangers and I would hate to see any of my favorite You tubers get hurt.
Well, solid oak flooring in a hunting blind! La dee da! LOL The potential is beginning to reveal itself along with the inside of the logs. Happy milling and stay safe.
hahaha
I use a 50-50 mixture of ATF and 30W as my general purpose lubricant. I use it on anything that requires lubrication, including when I build a Farmertec kit saw. It gives great lubrication. I just half fill my pneumatic Oiler with 30W and fill the rest with ATF. I then shake it up before first use. On the rails for your rollers I would probably use a 50% mix of Dawn and water in a spray bottle. Oil has a tendency to attract dust and saw dust. Plus, out in the elements any excess soap will wash off. I may coat the roller guides with oil between uses, but soapy water wil make those rails slick when in use
That is some good looking wood, but the real beauty here is Mrs. Morgan.
Hey Mike Melissa and Hunter, got to see two of the three of you in action today. You all did some great work together. The saw milling will be addictive for sure. You'll see all kinds of things inside the trees you mill and you will want (NEED) to cut them out if it tickles your fancy and you can name the piece and hang it somewhere. Some things you'll see you might not want to have hanging in public view though ;-) but they are pictures inside the trees that have been drawn for some reason.
You all are doing great and we are enjoying watching you all grow. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Mike and Melissa, nice job and nice vid too. In a few months Ï should complete the project often a used sawmill too. So have a nice evening and take care friends Tyrrs.
I don't know who picks the soundtracks (I suspect Hunter) but you're knocking my sox off! Love that music, all of it!
This is funny, I come in the house from milling logs. Now I am eating lunch watching you mill. It is so addicting. Ron
Lol, I really really enjoy it, it's like all I want to do
Outdoors With The Morgans, I know, you got me wanting to get a saw mill for my property that we just took possession. 8 acres of very large fir.
@@Tomrryaniv It is fun, I am presently milling white pine to build a kiln, garage and addition to my present shop. saving me lots of money on the lumber bill. Ron
Hi Mike...I live just north of Zelli.. Not far from the famous Bugger King. I am cutting down a number of Poplar trees. These are larger diameter ones. If your interested, you can have them. I had a woodmizer for years, and can give you some tips . Anyways if your interseted, just let me know. Maybe another video for you.! Don...
Beautiful & amazing white oak lumber from that outwardly punky log... beautiful!!! Thanks Mike!
Great looking grain on the White Oak.
Best looking bib overhauls I've seen in a long time. Nice video keep them coming
looks great .only other thing i do is when you get the cant down to around 6 inches off the deck,i take all the other slabs stand them up in front of the cant lock the whole thing n place and edge the boards out.the edging make decent stickers,since they are the same thickness as your material.
Your right Mike, beautiful timber. Melissa please wear hearing protection 👍
This man is very clever, he has managed to get his woman very well trained to help him out when he is getting on with his work. Well done sir.
Some pretty good looking stock... think I might be setting that aside. Well done guys!
Making Lumber, how cool is that!
And from your own logs, even way cooler.
Great video!
Glad to see every ones use of mother nature. Wood has all sorts of beauty... grain, smell, heat, and of course carvings:) So much usability. Can't wait till I can get to the woods to bring back some ash to add to the stack. We have been overran with dead ash from the borer kill here in west central Ohio.
Good job Mike you’re learning fast! You are lucky to have such a good helper! I’ve owned a Woodmizer for 25 years and the slabs add up real quick,a suggestion that I did is get yourself a banding machine, hand held not real expensive. Band those slabs into bundles. Band in 2 places. They will stack like logs when banded. I sold mine for firewood. Leaving them banded , you can saw right down thru them like you’re sawing a log. I got 30$ a bundle and was glad to get rid of them. Stack em high
Great idea!
In Australia we have 5 species of Eucalyptus that are very similar and are collectively known as Tasmanian Oak. When I look at that wet piece of white oak I can see how similar out Tassie oak is.
I don't know what it is...there's just something about seeing a log; a rough round thing turned into dimensional lumber that is so satisfying to watch. I would love to work with that lumber and build the buildings that you are going to build. Fantastic, keep it up.
Mike that is the neatest machine. Really enjoyed seeing the lumber being produced. Awesome video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
💥 Good thing you’ve got a strong work crew. Good help is hard to find. 👍
Keep on tractoring!
NICE VIDEO MIKE AND MELISSA TOWER BLIND HERE WE GO
Alright another Morgan video! That is some good looking lumber. In my ignorance I would probably have made firewood out of that log. Another lesson learned.....you can’t tell a log by it’s outer....or something like that!
Pretty soon a lumber drying shed will be in order. They were correct, saw milling is quite addictive.
I can see it now, apprentice sawyer , future sawyer / BOSS!! Your in trouble Mike, no doubt she'll be running the saw before too long, lol. Great video
Great vid. Always enjoy them. Paul Lemiski On "Canadian Woodworking " has two mills running and I follow his channel all the time. A few weeks ago, he featured his mills on a vid, and he has started using hemp oil on the blade. Just one squirt with an oil can on the blade before each cut and ur good to go. Have seen some folks using diesel fuel the same way. That way ur not having to carry down jugs of water and fill the overhead container on the mill. And the hemp oil I've been told is not that expensive and it's biodegradable. Rick.
That ok Mo I am cheering you on the get the pool someday . I know its nice to get something you really want even if you need to wait. I have faith in Mike he will make it happen someday .
What a super great tool toy to play with!!! Looks like a lot of fun being outdoors cuttin' wood!!!
Sounds like something is vibrating pretty good during the cut. Don't know if it's a drive wheel cover flappin' or something else that chatters pretty good.
That White Oak will make some beautiful flooring. Job well done. 👍
That was an impressive stack of wood. Looking at the log, I never would've imagined getting all that out of it. Nice!
Seems the doggiest logs will give you the prettiest boards. I have milled a lot of logs like this one and find the wood dense and stable.
Two questions:
1) Did Hunter come down and look?
2) What is the depth cut and what do you expect the dry depth cut to be after it has fully dried out?
(I guess that was three!)
Really enjoy your videos.
Hello the Morgan's
I've just subscribed after watching you for a couple of weeks. We live very similar lives, I've had a mobile Woodmizer LT40 for the last 10 years or so, sell firewood and cut about 10 acres of grass here.
I worked a vertical mill from 1979 until I got the Woodmizer. For the first few months on the horizontal Woodmizer, I had to keep turning my head thru 90 degrees during milling to be able to see what I wanted out of it! Felt stupid doing it then and feel stupid telling the world now😁.
When I'm milling inch board like you guys were in this episode, once I have it in a square, I mill it through and through leaving them on the mill. Then flip them all hairy side up and skim them off. Pick the lot up with the forklift, brush off sawdust and stack(I haven't glamorous help!).
The downside with this method is you don't get to see inside until your done but it works well if your confident of the timber your milling. I learnt this trick milling the red cedar siding for huge barn conversion.
And thank you for introducing me to Bucking Billy Ray Smiths channel, my chainsaws cut better now thanks to him.
Sorry for going on too long!
Marcus.
So your wife is doing thr grunt work, good job you on those boards. It looks very good.
That’s a whole lot of wood in the background! Will make a fine shed.
White Oak planking sure beats ext plywood for the tower blind build. 🦀
Thank you:)
Good job you are sure learning fast. You are battling the rain trying to saw lumber like I am in central Pa trying to cut grass lol it's been an up hill battle sun out one minute get mower out then big cloud showed up and rains just enough to get everything wet keep the great videos coming
Hi there
Good job
You have good firewood too
Have a good day 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
I'm glad when you get a building for it.
That is so cool. One day I will have a saw mill of my own. I have plenty of trees to make into lumber.
I see that Stanley is there supervising your saw mill operations! I have 3 supervisors at my house. Beautiful white oak. Looking forward to your next log discovery
At first, I thought Melissa was some new young lady until she faced the camera did I realized it was her "WOW you go girl"
I thought she was young!
Beautiful lumber.
Standing dead isn't the same as lying dead. A tree that's dead and standing will still wick water through its root system. The dogs were like "we want to be near our mom, but dayum! that thing she's near is pretty scary."
Hearing protection, sound advice. Very nice timber and will look good in the blind.
Multiply long diameter times 7 at small end to get projected cant size. Example 16" log at small end 16 x 7= 112 or 11.2" but no log is perfect. Have fun!! God bless
That should have been log diameter😂
Seek and ye shall find... Good one Mike, your tower blind will be the TajMahal (sic) with those floorboards! Looking good Melissa, didn't realize how good one could look wearing work overalls!
From a safety perspective I could appreciate having a stationary working panel that stays behind & have no doubts it would come with a price too!
The pith looked minimal on this log considering what it looked like from the outside.
Same weather up here yesterday, came & it went with more rain & lightening coming today...
Bill on the Hill... :~)
Hey Mike love the music. Just wanna say getting into this whole sawmill thing.
U the man rescuing that log most wouldn’t have , a future shed is nice, also build a building for your future KIOTI tractor.🚜
Great job enjoyed that!!!!
Mike & Molissa an idea, look for set of rollers for on loading trucks roll lumber off back, pick up with forks, hard work is good for you,but will catch to you, Grampa always said work smarter not harder,there enough hard work to do! Stay safe, hello to family.
The more the milling bug bites you, and it seems it has LOL, remember to use sticker boards between your slabs for air circulation , my dad used 3/8" pickets he milled himself. Looks great Mike enjoy yourself
Hi Hunter we would love for you to be in more videos we love you thumbs up budy
Way too nice for the tower blind. Great video.
Nice video, your both hard workers. Very well done. Mike is loving it.
Nice job on running the new machine Mike , lumber looks good. 👍
Interesting video. Just like you first videos with time you get better and more confident. You look pretty comfortable with the saw mill. Really enjoy a family that works and play together. Watch them finger young man
Дружна сімя, приємно на вас дивитися.
Бережи вас Бог!
Looks like you “had a Day” 👍🤠🐾🐾🐾🐾
Why is the de-barker not doing its job? HVe you not set it up yet?
RK is spot on, no bark I just wasn't running it
@@mikeodonnell3390 Debarker is only needed where the blade enters the log. The opposite side of the log doesn't need it as the blade is leaving the log.
Barry Humphrey finally saw this.....I was confused by it not being used......
looking forward to the build !!! Hello Hunter !!!
Don't forget to put stickers in between the lumber. Helps in the dry.. Just alittle helpful hint..
He did say in the video he was going to do exactly that...
Another great video. I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing many more videos of this mill to come. :). Looking forward to them. Thanks mike and Melissa.
Thank you 4 the reply on how to run the backhoe Hope it Helps
I just cut a bunch of hardwood down in preparation for building a house, you have me wanting a saw mill!!😂
That is some sweet oak lumber! Great work!
You've got a special little wifey coming out to help and always looks adorable how did you find her in Pennsylvania lol you got the only one LOL good job thumbs up my friends
That really turn out nice, Beautiful lumber.
Beautiful stick! Nice video yet again!
Great sawing video... You have a keeper there with your helper..and the music is pretty darn good to.. Your helper pick that out to?
Melissa is doing great work helping to get the pool for next summer. Any plans on what you might do to all the sawdust? Insulation for the tower blind perhaps?
I really love some of the background music you use in your videos. Who/what/where could I find it. Ps: you got a life I would love to have. Thanks for the great videos!
Mike just a suggestion but but when you get the mill under cover don't forget to put a rain barrel their to collect rainwater to put on the wood to see the grain . Again a renewable resource
A whole lot of fun too!!
I've seen other vids where guys hung a 5-gal. bucket on the dust chute to catch the sawdust. Then it could be easily dumped where you want it.
Enjoying your sawmill videos. You are getting some nice boards that you wpuldn't get from the home stores
I love the three supervisors in the background haha
Mike I'm in PA myself and wow that storm hit me hard I'm on my roof replacing it and BOOM I didn't have time to clean up much LOL thumbs up my friends
you need to make something to catch all the sawdust, use it in chicken coup makes great compost
jbfuzzy and bedding!
