Why not remove the center rot and make a "Pond epoxy table" instead of a river?
Totally agree.
Great place for a company logo on a mid size table. Or a cut out for power.
Been done too many times by every other wood/epoxy working RUclipsrs✌🏽
@@KINGJAYARTV yea because river tables totally arent overdone?
An alternate would be to epoxy in an inlay. There are so many options.
Not sure if this will be seen, but when I need to remove protruding metal objects from wood like that, I found that heating up the metal quite a lot and then twisting it around opens up the hole just enough to pull it out. Nice work!
I am unsure of the previous comment. I got one too and it seems to be a scam.
Matt C normally seals the top and bottom of his cookies and keeps them covered or in the shed. If you can help it, keep them out of the sun. They need to dry slowly
Making a round table with a leaf that folds down along where some of those cookies broke would be so cool. So it could be either a full "circle" or a semicircle
May be moving to team cookie as well. Props to Jordan btw, keeping up with Big John on moving those cookies. We tend to forget sometimes just how big he is. Remember... the former Pittsburgh Steeler Lineman? Yeah, etc. :)
That one screw or whatever, that was cut off flush, made a really neat visual "spark" in there. Sad about what it did to the blade however.
We are working on a sassafras cookie now - surrounded by epoxy and adding bow ties. Really cool look. Also adding 2 strips of c-channel to the bottom and setting it on hairpin legs. I have been leery of cookies as well but that is what the customer wants. Been a cool project. Also love the name on the mill.
If there is no feasible way for a Jordan makes series, any chance of a Jordan narrates, I don’t know why but imagining him narrating what’s going on seams hilarious to me.
Keep up the good work on that wewd!! Love your vids.
Really wish I lived somewhere remotely close (in southern KY) because these cookies look amazing!
I’m working with red elm right now and I’m loving the coloring! It’s a super hard wood, but has great grain patterns
Cookies are a lot of fun to work with. One of my favorite tabletops is a Boxelder cookie. The grain developed into a smile so it always looks happy.
I have a GORGEOUS 5-6” thick, 40” wide western red cedar round finished as a table. WRC has signature deep undulating vertical ‘cuts’ in the perimeter resulting from the growth process of the exterior of the tree. It’s the coolest piece of furniture we have.
Id like to see you cut your cookies thicker than I saw in the video. For that large of a round, a thicker slab is more to scale. My opinion of course:
I’m excited for the claro walnut milling video. Going to make some gorgeous slabs. It’s certainly not the easiest to dry for sure, but man does it look great when done.
One of the only RUclipsrs anymore where I instantly watch the video when I see the upload! Another great video! Are all of these cookies for sale? Any chance you can do a video where you talk about your plans to sell/prices of the slabs and cookies?
Just some advice on the editing of the videos for who wants to listen ... les sound effects or pick better ones(in some cases they make no sense or you are overdoing it) and don't ignore the volume on them some of the viewers use headphones believe it or not we exist
Don’t worry about the steel in your cookies, I build a lot of reclaimed white oak tables. I typically leave nails behind and the clients always love the look
i love that everything on this channel is food related.
cookies.
potato chips.
squirrels. 🐿
As a full time sawyer I MUST have a "It's Milling Time," Tshirt. I've also been cutting quite a bit of elm. It's a really slept on wood. It's super cool looking especially with burls and crotches. I've been getting real squirrelly and cutting cookies in long ovals by setting the log up at a 45⁰ on the mill. I do not recommend this technique for beginners.
I love this dude thank you for sharing!
Don't worry my elm crotch gets slept on too
First lesson for milling cookies is never cut them square to the grain, the greater the angle the more stable the grain is. So lift up one edge and have at least a 30*grain diagonal
Just a tip, if you hold down the zero button, of your on a smart phone, it'll do the degree symbols. 30⁰.
Cool tip!
@@joshuaglaude1549 dude! Thanks! I always scroll through the symbols, but that's way quicker. My guess is that he might have been using a keyboard on a computer. Alt+0176 on the number pad.
A month later these cookies are all warped already. No sealer, outside int the weather. No way any of them stay together.
@@dan__________________ If you have a flattening sled and are going to do epoxy anyway, they don't need to stay together.
Liked the camera on the mill. Cool shot
LOVE COOKIES!!!! and I plan on doing this to the tree being cut down in front of my house, Tree was planted there when the house was built so will make for a nice table... (would love to give you a chunk of it because we are in the same area.)
I love cookies, and I think the metal inclusions are extra cool - and squirrelly.
I don't know, John... Some of those would do a FANTASTIC coffee table... Or even whole tables, the bigger ones! Really beautiful wood!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Instant Sub lol love your sense of humor .. you were made to be in front of the camera... you are that one friend we all have.. life of the party always throwing jokes and clowning.
Cant wait to go veg out on your vids
It's a shame that we have to wait like a year or maybe even several before we can see something being done out that wood. I'd love to see what you do with that last metal piece, but I'm gonna forget by the time you get to that, if you'll show it at all.
Cookies dry quick we should be able to use them this fall!
Do you also sell the wood? Or is it for your own personal use/custom orders?
I just noticed the Dr Hank Mccoy sticker, and I love it!!
More sawmill vids!! Definitely a shipper container bar should be built!!
John, cookies are the best! I’m local in Pittsburgh also, and I cut a bunch of sycamore and oak last year when a storm blew through Edgewood. They are finally dry and im ready to pour some epoxy in the first one in the next day or so. Since then I’ve gotten some more oak and some mystery wood ( with a lot of inclusions and rot.) Never underestimate the rot, with some penetrating epoxy, it will look really cool.
I am most looking forward to cutting the maple I have, the larger chunks have awesome striping and spalting. They will make some sweet coffee tables!
The one piece of maple is 5’ round, this is a great size for kitchen tables!
Next week I am getting some more 4-5’ diameter oak. It should be a good weekend next week, Steeler game Saturday, Metallica on Sunday, and more trees on Monday!
Metallica rules
I’m not a bot
What’s your fav Metallica song
🍪🍪🍪
Having recently left the sesame street era for our toddler, I chuckled pretty good at you singing the elmo slide...
HAHAHAAH YES
sass was once used to flavor root beer. in high doses, it causes neurological damage that's why it's not used anymore. if you have the leaves high-end bars buy them since they are great for certain cocktails. but if you can't figure out what to do with those cookies ill buy them from you. also don't use water on cookies. the water makes drying hellacious and they will cup. alcohol will show you the grain appearance and evaporate off quick so as to not over-saturate the grain leading to potato chipping.
You know you're a geek when you name your blue beast saw Dr. Hank McCoy. Lol
I've been trying to do this with smaller pieces. I'm having trouble locking them down. I welded some angle iron together and cut teeth into them and drilled some holes so I can hammer them into the wood and then screw them down to the planks I have laying on the bunkers. It's still not enough. When the chunk rips out of the holders it's pretty violent. I've got to unscrew the guide bearing and reset it as the cookie hit it and twisted it down so it touches the blade. I'm thinking of adding a couple attachment points so I can loop a cable from a coma-along around the block so I can ratchet it down and hold it against the teeth more.
I cut cookies from a double ash stump with my Alaskan mill, but didn't put the cookies inside after milling and they all rotted out. Another learning experience.
Hey, they are stickering as they take it off the mill. They learned something!! 🤣
I will say that cookie tray slap definitely gave me a good laugh! Loving what you guys are doing with the mill, contents been super with it so far
It'd be kind of neat for you to take those cookies and build a series of the same table/sign/etc out of them. Brand/Stamp the a serial number for the series X/10 for example. But I get 1 on the house for the idea haha. Keep up the great content!
All wood is beautiful. Cookies, slabs, blocks, even straight plain oak. So much to do with any of it in so many way.
Definately team cookie here, the coolest thing I've made was from an awesome, twisted walnut cookie.. On the milling, hitting metal is obviously a blade killer, but in general it seems leaving a bunch of cookies/slabs stacked while you cut again lower would massively increase the friction load on the blade, increasing heat and decreasing life of the blade. The extra weight would be trying to close the kerf and pinch the blade, removing each cut piece would make for less load on the saw and longer blade life... 👍
9:52 the cookie looks like a rememberance day poppy!
I love cookies! The ones with a soft or rotten center, make great live edge mirrors.
We NEED an "It's Milling Time" shirt like that graphic!
At timestamp 2:45 the inclusion looks like some sort of bird. A Phoenix perhaps? Would be cool to use epoxy to highlight that shape.
Loved seeing Jordan break that cookie. So good.
As i saw that piece of metal i was reminded about a job i had in a cnc shop. i was the sawing guy. fun fact, when sawing steel sometimes there are little pieces of carbide in the steel, especially in cheap imported steel, when they used subpar material at the forgery, and it literally can rip the teeth of the blade if you hit one. so no matter what it is you're sawing, a small piece of foreign material in the right spot can ruin your day. 😆
Welcome to Team Cookie! That Elm looks awesome.
So the 2 teams we can choose from are Team Cookie or Team Bacon? So far both have had awesome cuts and I'm undecided on witch to support. I guess it comes down what cut would really work for what project your working on. I would enjoy seeing y'all mill up a Redwood if you get the chance.
holy cow; that's incredibly gorgeous wood. thanks.
Hola! 🖐WHERE'S THE MILK for all them cookies! 🥛😆😂Cool video but I find myself feeling anxious like something is about to go really, really bad. I'm not wishing that but it just feels like "it's just around the corner". Stay safe out here. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
I love cookies, especially Walnut ones. Have to say you do not get to see Tiger Oak much, sure is pretty for furniture making.
Dude! It's Milling Time needs to be a shirt I buy from you!
Will say get used to the storms, I grew up in cranberry and it always had the best summer storms in swpa and good snow also. Wouldn't live there now though holy crap the traffic sucks.
I love the look of the metal in the wood.
That red thing in the last one was a threaded hook, not gonna pull those threads out with a little pry bar. I do residential tree work and you'd be surprised by the crap I find in trees on a daily basis.
That metal chunk looks like an anchor of some sort. Like bucket hooks for a maple tree.
I think round tables can be very nice and those could make some really funky round tables. These cookies I like. :D
I can’t wait to see the guys start building stuff with these slabs and cookies they’ve been making!
Jordan is a rockstar. He puts up with all of your crap and still shows up everyday. Hang in there Jordan!!
The thing about cookies is that they are significantly more likely to cracks in the drying process and also more likely to part just by lifting it, but the patterns they produce are truly unique so it is sometimes worth the time, blades, and effort.
Keep Making. Stay squirrely. Keep Making. God bless.
Love the name of you mill! Beast!
I've come to the conclusion that your about 6 bricks shy of a load, but I still love your videos! I would have love having you on one of my crews. We might have not got much done, but we would have had a good time doing it! Save some of those broken "cookies" because you can sell them to wood turners. They'll cut circles out of them for bowls & plates. No joke, their still worth some green.
Your still 6 bricks shy of a load! :)
"6 bricks" I love that one. It's up there with my recent favorite: You're spare parts, bud.
At a campsite in Zelienople right now, that rain ruined half the week
Great video, what do you do with all of the saw dust from the milling?
How many times can john say cookie in one video???? Lol yum yum yum
I'm curious if you're planning on building any kind of awning or cover over your milling area. Protect the equipment and you could keep cutting when it rains.
Yeah would be great and also to have roof over the stuff they actually cut. To just leave it outside would not speed up process of proper drying out.
Those Elm cookies are beautiful! Where are they at now after a year? Have they dried nicely? :)
Hey John hope you enjoy the Claro log when we get it down to you!
Hey John those look awesome. A know you said u don't like cookies but just think there perfect coffee tables dont need joint or nothing. U got excited about Clara walnut tree nearby I nearly fell off my seat the other night someone offered me some Scottish maple was so stoked needless to say I took the lot! 👍🏴
That is SO AWESOME that the mill is named “Dr. Hank McCoy”!
I personally wouldn't mind a piece of metal in my table and a story to the piece. Question about the very last piece u cut. It's uneven on the 1 side. Couldn't you use your CNC to flatten it. Or r u going to use it ?
I was sitting here up in Canada in my back yard last week thinking "I could really go for a cookie with this glass of milk I'm having" FUCKIN BOOM cookie landed in my hand, thanks for the cookie John!
Took an old piece of cypress that was 36-42 inches in "diameter" maybe a gallon of epoxy and it made a really nice table.
Leave the metal in it! Unique!
Man…. A dining room table would be fantastic made from one of those cookies.
Thanks!
New drinking game: do a shot every time John says the word cookie
Gotta get some big walnut cookies cut. We've got 2 10ft 10k lb walnut logs but no way to slab them yet. 4ft on small end up to 63" . Chainsaw mill probably. Our Old LT 40 ain't made for those beasts.
why do you water the wood after cutting ?
You can make some really cool round River tables with those cookies
Those cookies are perfect for wood turners like me. I’ve been looking for some elm to play with
Please do a video making a table out of that cookie with the bolt in it, that would look very cool!
Cookies to me, they make amazing coffee tables, clocks, or wall art.
Great tea tables WOW
How long does it take for a cookie to dry out enough to be used in a project typically?
I would not debate too much over cookies.
As with everything, with enough training you can tell the difference between genuine wood working that happens to involve cookies and lazy stuff with epoxy.
If all you can do is build a mold, run a routing sled, do a half decent sanding and finish and screw pre made metal legs, that's all you do.
Sorry if this is a noob question (I'm not a woodworker) but why not cut them long ways? Are they just too short?
Lol they need to sell those as table tops not as firewood.
Theyre too short
They are not too short for bowl turning.
Would be cool to Throw one of those cookies on miss piggy and route out the top detail and Silhouette of the millennium falcon. Epoxy it flat and it would be some nerds dream table.
The one at 7:15 looks like a stormtrooper helmet!
I maybe team cookie if that gets a video 😉
The unidentified metal thing looks a lot like a "Garage Hook" or "Bike Hook". Grab a vice grips and try to thread it back instead of pulling/prying. Should come right out.
Another great Sawmill video!
Welcome to the cookie club 😂 I'm so looking forward to buying a milling machine don't know what I'll do with the wood but my interest has been sparked. Great job boys 👍
"Did somebody say cookies?"
"GET THIS SHIT OUTTA HERE!!!!"
Might be stupid, since you’re outside. But could you hook a dust collection system to that just… because. Not sure if you ever have a whole day of sweeping because of the saw mill, but if it cuts down on sweeping, it’s worth it.
I love cookies.....they make such AWESOME tables!!! I think you should get some "Team Cookie" t-shirts made!
Great video John and team!🔥
I seen you have some of Fireball Tools. You going to get one of there welding tables?
Jordan is gonna be a beast slinging that wood around trying to keep up with someone literally twice his size haha
Great content thanks for sharing
When are you guys gonna post a video about the new sawmill you bought?
Hey John I have a question for ya, when mixing the epoxy stuff that yall have to mix with a drill for 5 minutes or whatever it is (Sorry I can't remember) is it possible to use the drill press? Like put the mixing paddle thingy ma jig in the drill press and put the bucket on the drill table, lowered down? (If anyone has suggested this or anything I do apologize. )
Probably wouldn’t work as well. When you’re using the handheld drill you’re scraping the corners, bottom, and sides as you mix, or at least move around in the bucket.
On the drill press, you’d need to move the bucket instead of the drill, which is much more difficult.
Probably safer and more feasible to get a $30 Harbor Freight drill to use for epoxy mixing than to try to mix on the drill press.
I've seen a stand mixer used to mix epoxy. It worked really well. Ladies, keep an eye on your Kitchen Aids!
I apologize in advance for the stupid question, but why do you spray the wood with water after you cut it?
To see the grain patterns. Makes it easier to see, especially for a video. I’d also recommend watching one of Matt Cremona’s milling vids. He has a separate but funny way of doing it, haha.
@@robertpenn2152 Thanks! I'll check him out.
Lol the sasefras tree smell is the olie that olie use to be used to make mdma lol
