So yesterday i was on the phone with Granberg ordering my first alaskan sawmill. A 60" to match my 59" sthil ms880 that has been ordered in my a local hardware shop. During the phone call i was asked how i heard of Granberg and their mills. I replied that a year or so ago i saw someone using one on youtube and thought that that was a very handy tool to have and use, and now a year later i find myself in a need for one. The girl in sales asked me if the video i watched was a Wranglerstar video. when i confirmed her thought she laughed and said that they are quite fond of you there. just thought id pass that tidbit along to you
I can see where having that saw mill and tractor are real blessings. It greatly increases you productivity. I just love that you can mill your own wood.
hey mate a rule of thumb from a Lucas operator 1st cut horizontal pushing 2nd cut vertical pulling otherwise you are pinching your blade losing power wrecking the dimension of board and also dangerous for kick back
GiggleBytes2011 was probably one of the better acoustic renditions I have heard dire straits brothers in arms is one of my favs just touches the soul with the lyrics and the guitar solos in it
Happy Mothers day Mrs. Wranglerstar. Amazing! All that wood looks so pretty and i can only imagine how wonderful it smells. I already know im gonna love this timber frame project. I hope to have some tools by the end of it and begin building small and eventually my own shed sized shop this summer.
Cody - I am very impressed with the quality of the productions that you create. The cinematography and use of the drone to get interesting angles that help tell the story even without a voice over, and of course the terrific choice in music really brings everything together in a professional, relaxing way. Your channel is therapy for the maddening world.
Great production of Modern Homesteading with that Sawmill! 👍👏☝️🙏🏡 looking forward to seeing the next video series of the What' you are truly going build with those logs. Thank you for sharing this beautiful presentation of Sawmill 👍
First time commenter long time watcher. Really great work on the sawmill and was lamenting to myself how most of the old growth timber in our area (SE Texas) has been lost to the paper industry. This includes pine and hardwoods, nothing much left but 10 to 15 year old timber which is not large enough for that kind of work. Might get one 6" x 6" 10 to 12' long timber out of a whole tree. Really enjoy watching you care for your forest. Thanks
Cody, One of your Lucas Mill saw "teeth" is out of true. When you make a horizontal cut, the kerf is eider and you can see the one tooth segment "jump" up when the blade is clear. Look at the blade at times 1:58 and 3:26 on this video. A good blade man can fix it with a few well-placed hammer blows to the blade body. Check with the Lucas Mill folks.
I started watching this not knowing that my FireFox browser was at half speed. With slight slo-motion the music seemed solemn, mesmerizing, & epic. Then I figured it out, switched, & noticed that the guitar music was a pretty pleasant beat. Both ways, fantastic video production.
I like watching your videos and figuring out the song that is playing, just by listening, while watching cool stuff happen. I'm like "That's......'Brothers in Arms'....good choice."
cuts likes butter like I had commented Sir when you make the first placing of the log it shows I wish you where my neighbors I would have already a pole barn built and be proud it was done by you . The cuts perfect, logs off your oun land very cool Lucas on your property very cool
I really enjoy your videos. The music and film work are so relaxing. Mixed with the timber frame aspect, and skill with the drone, along side the beauty of the Mill work. Spectacular! Keep up the good work Mr. Wranglerstar, your viewers enjoy it.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but great camera work there, i have a national diploma in media and filmography and know that sometimes even the simplest shots can take all day to get right. so well done sir
I think the timbers on the beefy saw horses, together, would make a great timber frame table! All that is needed is a sleeper to attach to the timbers, then the saw horses, with lag screws in between the timbers! The weight would obviously be very heavy, but could be used as a picnic table or on a patio or a VERY sturdy deck! Just my thoughts. Great video, Cody! Brings back fond memories of cutting firewood with my dad years ago!
Good demo of how the swing blade works .. real nice. There is something that is so satisfying about cutting your own lumber. I don't have the skills but I have cut up and built some things with my mill... oh and nice with the Mavic .. I have one also that I can actually carry on my mule .. been getting some neat aerial footage in the wilderness.. Thanks!
I may just have been a trick of perspective, but it looked like you did a great job of threading the needle when you brought those timbers into the barn.
I don't know what the overall consensus of these last two videos will be, but I'm a huge fan. Not that I have a problem with any of the other vides recently, it's just that these are videos that make me remember why I subscribed so many years ago. The story of a man doing what he wants on his land at his own pace... Well done. It's what I wish I could do. As I sit in my office all week struggling to get grant funding, to get papers published, and chasing grad students all over the globe, I just wish I were outside with some equipment getting actual work done. Work I can see at the end of the day, not just another electronic copy of a paper revision. Thanks for videos like this and the other milling one posted just prior.
Wranglerstar Totally understand. You've got to give the majority of folks what they want. I'll watch 'em all, so thanks for sprinkling ones like this in from time to time. Keep up the great work.
Awesome use of the drone footage, you're getting really good at it, well done. The open barn looks great! Hope we get to see a tour of the work area, nice to have cover now for machinery.
Cody, please check with Lucas on this..... A spinning structure withstands huge forces as it changes from one axis to another. (test pilots break stuff like this every day; I just don't want you to have any nasty surprises.......)
I am not in the greatest shape anymore with my bad knees but man does this look like fun. You can pick up and move timber with the tractor. Then mill it and let tractor do more work. Then if you wanted, you could sit in a chair to do the chisel work. Very nice!
Hey Cody. I notice you're in the barn that you were renovating and that the sides are now open. I think the last video you made about it was when Mrs Wranglerstar was under the ladder and the beam almost fell on her (really glad nothing serious happened by the way). I was really enjoying that renovation series. Did you film the rest? Are you planning on making more videos on it? If not could you please make a video walking us through what you did? Thanks! Love your videos!
Yikes I must not have been paying attention all along on the various Lucas Mill videos. I did not realize it would cut bi-directional. What a bonus over a bandsaw mill.
That is one heck of a saw, I have seen videos of them in Australia cutting gum wood I think. Great job on the videos and keep them up. And I like your tractor setup
Always wanted a woodmizer, but got a Lucas 827 years ago....just an awesome machine, with so many uses, beveled siding being my favorite. Big slabs too.
Cody. Enjoyed the saw mill video. What type of drone do you have and would you do a video on how it works and how you operate equipment while the drone films you. God bless
The excellent guitar work adds a nice touch whether its Knopfler, Young, or others they have been fantastic.Enjoy the vids Cody so keep up the great work and encouraging words. Godspeed.
Cody, I hope your thinking of making some sort of sacrificial tops for those saw horses. Then they shall last forever. And please wish misses Wranglerstar a blessed Mothersday for me.
Something very satisfying about just watching the saw cut through the logs.

Hahaha a hobby mill operator hahahaha (lucas operator)
You're absolutely 💯 % correct!
I always love watching your videos, they are so soothing to me. The music and being able to watch you do something I'll never get to do.
Acoustic rendition of dire straits brothers in arms I loved that
glad someone else heard that...i was listening and thinking the same thing. Sounded awesome.
GiggleBytes2011 was probably one of the better acoustic renditions I have heard dire straits brothers in arms is one of my favs just touches the soul with the lyrics and the guitar solos in it
Ballsy to do Knopfler. Sounds very decent.
That is some job, flying driving and filming all at the same time, WOW. And your editing is spot on, thank you.
Your drone purchases were the best thing to happen to the channel. Amazing shots!
Happy Mothers day Mrs. Wranglerstar. Amazing! All that wood looks so pretty and i can only imagine how wonderful it smells. I already know im gonna love this timber frame project. I hope to have some tools by the end of it and begin building small and eventually my own shed sized shop this summer.
The production of this vid was one of your best ever, Cody.
irritablearchitect couldnt agree more!
Great drone shot as you drove the milled logs into the barn! Really appreciate how you have integrated drone shots into your work.
The lumber is nice but your camera work was fantastic ! Loved the angles.
Fantastic work. That mill is incredible!

I have done a little milling and it's hard work but I didn't have to go in and edit. A video afterwards thanks for all the effort mate really cool

Great pacing, I like how concise and smooth this video turned out, thank you!

That's such a great saw mill. I'm glad you don't have to cut those logs the hard way anymore Cody. Thanks for the videos as always. God Bless
watching this sawmill run is relaxing.
Very nice video. Great music and photography. Looking forward to seeing what you build with these timbers.
Your place, so do it your way! Just keep the videos coming so I can learn too!
I started watching this not knowing that my FireFox browser was at half speed. With slight slo-motion the music seemed solemn, mesmerizing, & epic. Then I figured it out, switched, & noticed that the guitar music was a pretty pleasant beat. Both ways, fantastic video production.

Short, sweet, and to the point.
I'm sure Mrs. W is enjoying a fine Mother's Day.
I really enjoy your videos. The music and film work are so relaxing. Mixed with the timber frame aspect, and skill with the drone, along side the beauty of the Mill work. Spectacular! Keep up the good work Mr. Wranglerstar, your viewers enjoy it.
Another great video - I can't wait to see more as you progress on this project.
Thank you.
Happy Mother's Day to Mrs W, hope she has a wonderful day, great video and keep up the great work!
sitting here watching your video with my 5 month old granddaughter and she is mesmerized by it with the music
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but great camera work there, i have a national diploma in media and filmography and know that sometimes even the simplest shots can take all day to get right. so well done sir
Thank you Stu,
Looks like you know what you're doing Cody. I enjoy your videos a lot. Keep them coming!
Another good video. I've been wanting to see several passes in a row from the end view. You hit it right on the head with this one.
Such an awesome machine, how cool is it to be able to produce your own building material like that. Now THAT is true environmentalism.
Not going to trim the pegs on the sawhorses? Or just letting them setup so you can tighten if necessary?
I think he said he might change them for oak ones later?
Maybe so that they can be disassembled for moving and storing perhaps.
Jim Williams or is it not finished look at the lumber he just milled
Let everything dry over time and then drive them in further as need be. Cut them off now, and you're snookered.
he can hang tools from them... not really gonna be in the way
Would it be better to make the horizontal cuts before the vertical so the wood won't fall on the blade?
Gary Jernigan Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he shims it up along the way.
Yes but would it remove the need to shim therefore making it faster and safer for the blade.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, and it doesn't look like he was shimming it along the way. Looks like it worked out fine, but still.
On one of the close shots you can see the blade has a riving knife when swung into horizontal position, so should be fine, as we've seen.
That is a beautiful operation you've got going, Bubba!
that mill is awesome! it's like a warm knife through butter.
amazing cover of mark knopfler's brothers in arms
Really cool video. Really cool to see how many trees are needed for construction!
I think the timbers on the beefy saw horses, together, would make a great timber frame table!
All that is needed is a sleeper to attach to the timbers, then the saw horses, with lag screws in between the timbers!
The weight would obviously be very heavy, but could be used as a picnic table or on a patio or a VERY sturdy deck!
Just my thoughts. Great video, Cody! Brings back fond memories of cutting firewood with my dad years ago!
Nice Work and the Saw Horses are Awesome.
Very enjoyable video I could almost smell that fresh cut lumber!
Thanks cody
Good demo of how the swing blade works .. real nice. There is something that is so satisfying about cutting your own lumber. I don't have the skills but I have cut up and built some things with my mill... oh and nice with the Mavic ..

I may just have been a trick of perspective, but it looked like you did a great job of threading the needle when you brought those timbers into the barn.
You sure have come a long way! I remember watching you wrestle the timbers with a pickaroon and the Alaska sawmill!
Your choice of music if always fantastic really enjoying these videos
I can't wait to see what you are building.
saw horses doing there job. the more i watch you use the mill the more i like the mill thank you for the video
Thank you John,
+Wranglerstar so is Makita sending you a new tool to help build your shed?
Nice air curing barn to get those ready for use.

To bad they received half the views a typical video gets. This tells me the majority of my subscribers don't like this sort of video.
Wranglerstar Totally understand. You've got to give the majority of folks what they want. I'll watch 'em all, so thanks for sprinkling ones like this in from time to time. Keep up the great work.
I think now i see why i would have that over a band saw type. It's so quick and precise.
Wow, that center danced when let loose.
Man that saw mill is awesome.
Lucas Mill, another great Aussie invention.
Awesome use of the drone footage, you're getting really good at it, well done.
The open barn looks great! Hope we get to see a tour of the work area, nice to have cover now for machinery.
Cody, please check with Lucas on this..... A spinning structure withstands huge forces as it changes from one axis to another. (test pilots break stuff like this every day; I just don't want you to have any nasty surprises.......)
There is nothing new here. These mills have been around a long time,
thanks!
I am not in the greatest shape anymore with my bad knees but man does this look like fun. You can pick up and move timber with the tractor. Then mill it and let tractor do more work. Then if you wanted, you could sit in a chair to do the chisel work. Very nice!
Such absolutely beautiful music!
Lovely choice of music was a great video to wake up and watch first thing here in Australia it's quite relaxing watching you work hard 😂
brothers in arms.... great video, thank you.
This video was very well put together. nice shots, nice use of the Mavick Pro, good editing, and the sound was mixed beautifully. well done, sir.
Lucas Mills are great machines. Beveled siding is the most fun for me...light to handle and it looks great on lots of local homes I cut it for!
I love what you do on this channel, living the dream and doing something every day. Keep up the good work.
Always great to see what you are doing.
This is almost therapeautic. Blessings from Norway
Great video, thank you for my daily dose of tranquility before my weeks starts all over....
The mysteries in your video keeps me always coming back. So now I wait while these are drying what are they for?
man, you've got some downright amazing tools. I dream of stuff like that.
Hey Cody. I notice you're in the barn that you were renovating and that the sides are now open. I think the last video you made about it was when Mrs Wranglerstar was under the ladder and the beam almost fell on her (really glad nothing serious happened by the way). I was really enjoying that renovation series. Did you film the rest? Are you planning on making more videos on it? If not could you please make a video walking us through what you did? Thanks! Love your videos!
+Philippe Lobelle yes I have one coming up
Philippe Lobelle Was thinking the same thing.
good question. I was wondering about that also
Great! I'm looking forward to that one (or more).
Brothers in Arms.
I can't wait to see what you're going to build.
G'day Mr Wranglestar I have seen a few video's of your Lucas Mill. Please have a look at our mill on Our Turbo Sawmill And From Tree To Timber
Looking good, like to see the carport getting up.
That 4x6 would work good in a timber framed headboard.
could you do a video on homesteading tools, what you find most useful on a day to day basis.
Yikes I must not have been paying attention all along on the various Lucas Mill videos. I did not realize it would cut bi-directional. What a bonus over a bandsaw mill.
Nice version of Brothers in arms dude tnx
That is one heck of a saw, I have seen videos of them in Australia cutting gum wood I think. Great job on the videos and keep them up. And I like your tractor setup
talk about a satisfying video. this is perfect.
I like your barb shop. fitting with your timber saw horses
Excellent. I would love to see more videos on the sawmill. Maybe you could upload some raw footage that is sped up?
Always wanted a woodmizer, but got a Lucas 827 years ago....just an awesome machine, with so many uses, beveled siding being my favorite. Big slabs too.
Is it me, or does that look like the beginning of one bad ass work bench???? 👍
Cody. Enjoyed the saw mill video. What type of drone do you have and would you do a video on how it works and how you operate equipment while the drone films you. God bless
The excellent guitar work adds a nice touch whether its Knopfler, Young, or others they have been fantastic.Enjoy the vids Cody so keep up the great work and encouraging words. Godspeed.
Thank you John.
that mill is amazing, is it in wrangler mart?
Cody, I hope your thinking of making some sort of sacrificial tops for those saw horses. Then they shall last forever. And please wish misses Wranglerstar a blessed Mothersday for me.
Very nice job sir! Saw horses look beautiful!
Cody, When you stated the fact the horses were going to be used primarily for timber framing project, I understood why they were so strong. Geoff
Such a satisfying video
Your production is getting really good.
The feed rate of that thing is astonishing! I really can't get over how fast it shreds right through that timber like nothing!!
It's wonderful
Thanks, Cody. I really enjoy your videos.God bless.
You are starting to look like a lumber yard inside the barn! Good stuff.
Looking Good!
What a difference with all the snow gone!
