Salvaging Storm Damage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- We had a particularly bad winter storm this past January. The storm started very windy and ended with ice. We lost power for 4 days and we had a tree fall on our house. Luckily the tree that fell in our house did not do very much damage as it just tipped over and touched the side of the roof. And luckily we had all of the branches trimmed off the next day which saved us from the tree being weighed down by the ice storm and crushing our house. I was able to mill up the tree into larger slabs. It is just pine but I'm sure I can find some projects to do with it. Later, through a neighbor, I found out about a large oak tree that had come down nearby. I milled up this red oak and was able to get a lot of turning blanks and small slabs out of it.

I saw this and thought, "I'm not watching this now, I don't have half an hour to spare at the moment." So of course I got sucked in and watched the whole thing. Your production, timing, narration, et cetera are all top-notch and the time just flies by. Thank you for your videos!
I know its a video about nothing in particular, but this is one of the best Frank videos I've seen in a while. Its got arborists, milling, metal work, turning, some of the best Frank-off-topic tangents, and your modification of the chainsaw mill with the winch was so fun to watch.
Hey frank, love seeing a random video with the tree company I work for show up on RUclips 😂😂 very glad all was taken care of 😁 we love our job.
You guys are the ones doing all the hard work and luckily you have someone respectful like Frank to show that
I really appreciate the long game you play with future projects. The fear of running out of projects is real!
No long game like that here. Stacked outside. The termites would find the pile after the first year😢
@@ronjones9373 Termites in Portland?
I was just thinking to myself how much I’ve been missing your videos. Thank you for them, they really are wonderful!
You were given plenty of lemons. The winch is like a second man. Kudos to you Frank. Thank you.
I appreciate that you use the smart YYYY-MM-DD date format when labeling your pieces.
Its so the blanks sort in order automatically
@@AdamEarl2 Yes, exactly!
I literally EAT UP Frank's videos. Even if they're 30 minutes long, they bring so much calm and peace to my day, they're priceless. I wish I had equipment like this expertise like Frank's to do this sort of wood work :(
Frank epic line, it'll probably take 10 years to dry... gave me a huge LOL to close out my evening.Thank you my friend
"Bought the winch a few years ago and has been sitting there" Nice to hear I'm not the only one who buys stuff of projects years in the future😅
Yeah, we are not alone!
I believe all of us in the Frank clan suffer from TAS- tool acquisition syndrome
Awesome job, Frank. Former sayer here - it’s really important to have the stickers line up vertically, that will help prevent the boards from bowing. Also if you can find a strapping machine to bind them together, that helps, too.
A very comforting episode...the storm news was worrying, even without the home forest. You really went to town on all that bad news!
We'll be here in years to come to watch what you do with all the timber. Thanks Frank
Frank, I was amazed at the amount of prep you did alone here. Keep safe.
Holly molly,, that's a lot of work by Yourself.😮
By the time the turned pieces dry out and are ready for finishing, Frank's back shouldn't be sore any more.
I'm seeing many red oak projects in Frank's future. This is the way it goes though. Suddenly you get a literal wind fall, and have way more wood than you can use.
@@jfan4reva the hard part is saying “no” to all the wood you find after you fill up your storage spaces
I love your ready & friendly laugh! I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for taking the time to make it and for describing your process so thoroughly. Well done, sir!
Love your pickup...especially parked next to the Tesla. Two different worlds.
I feel sorry that you had such destruction through your neighborhood, but you made the best of it with a great stockpile of future material.

Bonjour Frank
Vraiment content de voir une nouvelle vidéo de vous
Super la récupération de tout ce bois et la préparation de tous ces futurs projets
Bravo 😊
Frank, your videos are like a fine wine.
These milling videos are the most satisfying thing ever. Keep it up Frank!
In about two or three years you will either have some nice slabs or more firewood. I hope it's the former because of all the work you put into the project. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
“ a video about the work before doing a project” so would that be the prelog then ?
Another great vid Frank, thank you from all of us aspirants.
Brilliant. Also, we share the same date format. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you have the opportunity to experiment and play. It will be fun to see what unexpected things we learn as well. Love the video.
That was a crazy storm, we were without power for 3 days at first and then 2 days. A lot of trees down but luckily none on my place. I was thankful for my fireplace or it would've been a scramble to get down the hill to a hotel to stay warm. As far as the crane lifting the last piece high, it may have been with the wind and weight, needing to shorten the length so it doesn't swing as much. Keep up the great work! Always like seeing what you make.
Haven't watched any of old mates content in an age. This was a great one to come back to.
I love that that is the first time that I've ever seen a pair of bolt cutters used for what they're called
That was so nice of the shop not to charge the $50.00
Have you ever thought about making that cup attachment for your lathe from something like delrin instead of wood? That way you wouldn't have to true it up every time you want to use it. Thanks for the content!
Hello Frank, I have to tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. You’re a lot like me in the way you do your projects and how you go about figuring out how to make things work. I really wish I had a shop like yours but I’ve come to the realization that getting older and tired of arguing with the wife about what kind of mess it will make I’m down sizing and selling off a lot of my equipment. Please keep up the great job. I always look forward to your videos
Portland sure had a bumper crop of firewood this winter!
First time here. Likely will not be the last. Your deliberation and perseverance is admirable. Thank you
Love your ingenuity and that you take us along for the whole process. Great to have another of your videos pop up.
I'm glad you didn't have much storm damage.
I had two big erosion gullies, 3 to 4 feet deep and wide, across my backyard this year. Both times the rain water went into a gopher hole on my neighbors property and out a gopher hole on my property.
No risk of major damage but it was a real pain hauling the dirt back up the hillside to fill in the gullies.
P.S. The gopher population has seriously declined on my property! 😬

Good video it’s a lot of work but now you have a good supply of material on hand. Thanks Frank
The storm was super lucky. No damage to your house and thousands of dollars of "free" wood.
Frank, I’ve done a lot of chainsaw milling. The two best mods I did to my chainsaw milling were to always find a way to lift one end of the log and let gravity help push the mill and building a custom exhaust manifold that I put a small motorcycle exhaust pipe on to, this made the saw quieter (didn’t piss off the neighbors as much😅) and it directed the sound up away from me operating the saw, which makes the job less tiring.
Looks like you got some great wood there, I look forward to seeing the future projects!
Cheers from Tokyo!
I was wondering about a way to make it quieter. Also maybe direct the exhaust away from going directly into my face.
Well done and Thank you for sharing. Keep the chips flying 👍👍
always such a treat when one of your videos come out, thanks as always frank!
A good woodworker knows the trees from which he fabricates his wares
That shit is so heavy man, I watch you moving it in all your videos and you still have a back. Good job!!!
Wau, bei dem vielen Holz könnte man Neidisch werden. Der Wahnsinn, davon träume ich 🫣🤗🤭👍
You are in a very good shape, Frank. Those logs are heavy!
Watching from Vancouver Island 🏝️ 🇨🇦👍
Frank, this is so cool! Hope you get some nice, use-able wood out of this!
Would love to see a house tour. Architecturally it looks very interesting. Love your videos.
Not lucky - blessed. Big difference.
Much love ...
This video showcases the limits of Frank's strength, it touched on some milling but mostly strength limits.
You can turn ANYTHING into a fascinating video!!! If you ever sit down and start filming you reading the phone book (yes...I am old....very old....lol), my schedule is in big trouble...lolol
Nice!
Should be able to make some nice bank .... Selling the slabs as they dry.
When chucking on a thread, wrap a wire around the thread and the jaws will bite into that, keeping your thread clean
Hope someone sponsors you a mini electric tractor loader soon!
I always enjoy your videos. Hopefully we'll see you at the AAW symposium in Portland next month.
Good morning Frank!!
Good work mate.Lot of great wood for future projects
Suggestion.
Change the rope to a smaller diameter, like a Kevlar kite string or 550 cord. Add a small boating pulley to the end and run it straight back to the center of your mill crank from your clamp jig thing you fabricated.
Oh boy, that spark plug story. I'm glad you were able to get the saw fixed quickly rather than wait weeks!
This video makes my back hurt.
I enjoy the milling videos. Turning what would be fire wood into woodshop gold.
Truly inspiring
very interesting Frank thank you
Good work. Good story telling.
18:35: The reason they lifted that piece so high in the air is because they wanted to get it up past the house as quickly as possible so that it didn't rotate into the house. When they lift something fast like that it has a lot of inertia and stopping it quickly will make the lines slack and could cause a bunch of issues so instead they just continue lifting it and slow the rate until they can drop it back down safely without the slack. If they had raised it slowly they wouldn't have had to lift it so high but it would be near the house for longer potentially causing issues.
Thanks for the information.
Great effort Frank. Love the winch.
For sealing green wood, Titebond makes an all-purpose white glue that sells for about $16 a gallon ... does a great job of sealing green wood. I apply two coats ... been using it for a couple of years with no problems.
Let that stack of wood be a warning to the other trees...
Highly enjoyable to watch all that work. Thanks!
We got lucky here in KF. Even Bend got an inch or thicker of ice. We got 40F and light rain
Thanks frank. That was a great video.
Hope you gave the dudes at the shop a tip.
Wow nice!!!
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
I've been wondering since the storm when this video would show up!
Excellent video, very well edited and narrated. Thank you.
I am going to put the winch on my mill, it seems to work great.
Love the winch attachment on the chainsaw mill. I don't know if it would be beneficial but might be able to adapt a drill or something like that to winch to get rid of the need to hand crank it. It might almost be hands free at that point and kind of like a band saw mill
One of these days you should invest in an appliance hand-truck. It'll save your back in the future!
You could even splurge for an integrated scissor lift to help move bigger pieces up and down to your truck bed/benches!
Nice video for better results. Paint 1" down both sides where you painted the end grain, you protect the corner of timber and get better results like how you should get timber from timber mill. Cheers
Always enjoy watching & listening to your creativity & spectacular video skills...like that 'twin' making..( ya know when you clone yourself= 2 of you making stuff at t same time !!😊) & then the enlarged bowl in top right of t screen while you are at the Lathe making another copy. .just super impressive computer graphic/image manipulatons
..just great to watch! Stay safe handling those heavy slabs & rounds..carry on Frank! A+👍✅️🤠😊
Just happened across this video. I haven't seen you before. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to seeing more of your content. Thanks for taking time to make them.
Go thru his back videos! Truly worth it.
It’d be kind of cool to see a side by side experiment of multiple bowls carved from the same wood at various thicknesses to see how they dry out
Awesome! Thanks for sharing…!
Very entertaining video
So great
You really need a good two wheeler trolly Frank, love your work.
Another great presentation a lot of work,looks great!!
Always entertaining
Well done!!
I think you need to build a small saw mill area and get a small fork lift to lift the wood. Diesel creek guy bought a dozen last week 😉 Appreciate you weren't at home this time.
Although, I don't think I will ever mill a log, it was one of more interesting videos for me. I enjoyed it more than bowl and sphere making videos.
Gorgeous work you have lost inventory good red oak
When Frank says he had his wife help him - he doesn't show her moving him out of the way and outlifting him. He doesn't want her to flex on him on youtube like that. ;)
What a lot of work. And how satisfying. Congrats! One safety suggestion: please be oh so careful using a spindle roughing gouge (SRG) on faceplate (bowl) grain orientation. A SRG attaches to its handle with a tang. This is a weak point in the metal. Unlike a bowl gouge that is milled from a solid shaft of HSS inserted into the handle. If you get a catch with a SRG turning a bowl the tang can break off and the gouge becomes a blood-seeking missle. Thanks for your very detailed content.
I’ve experimented with once turned bowls a little recently and they have been well received.
I enjoy watching chainsaw milling. I regularly watch Belko Wood here on RUclips
I love the sound effect at 11:45 :D
The very first video of yours I watched was of you cutting up a tree in a friend's or neighbor's yard. I found the chainsaw mill to be just a neat way to get the slabs without taking the whole log to a big mill.
Might be a good idea to place "winding sticks" at each end of the ladder to insure the ladder doesn't have a twist in it before cutting the 1st slab on each log.
thanks
Классная работа!!!!
Lots of work! You need an assistant! Thanks for sharing!
