Nice A Little More Progress On The Wood Shed!!👍👊
Mike, I saw something on another channel you also might be interested in building - a log ramp with a deck. [Fall Line Ridge, March2019 ]. Having 3 or 4 logs sitting on a deck waiting to be milled with out having to start up the tractor and load each one individually would definitely save some time, especially in winter with limited day light hours after work .... Or, more in tune with the new season, imagine your sawmill sitting ideally under a large shed [convince your wife the shed is a test run for the gazebo your going to build her], its a rainy but warm Sunday morning with 3 logs sitting on the deck ready to go - no wet, no mud, no smell of diesel - just you, your sawmill, and freshly milled wood .... I know I'm definitely going to be building one soon.
Pine is great to use even green. Not much strinkage. Harley any twisting. We use popular and gum for siding and 1by material for roof slats. I'll get some pics together for you to see all the buildings I've build here on the farm.
Good morning to the Morgan family. ☕
Looking forward to the shed build. WE use red pine and actually skip the pre-drilling and screwing and just using framing nails. Especially for the 2x10s that will be supporting the rafters, nails would have much stronger shear strength. We have also framed a shed with green poplar, right off the mill. That was 25 years ago and the shed it still standing solid. With the poplar, you just have to make sure that it is kept out of the elements. Have a day! ;)
IT doesn't get any better than Outdoors with Mike and Melissa. Always Good. :)
Another great Video (It has Melissa in it, of course. ) I am glad the Morgans and I had real Pizza the same evening. On 2/29, it was the 7-11 product, not nearly the same. Best wishes to Tyler and family, future stars of the Morgans, mark II. God bless and keep you all
Anytime with the grandchildren is time well spent. Be thankful he lives close enough to where you can see him whenever you want. I have a 13yo grandson who has been a big part of my life from day 1. I can't imagine him not in my life.
The both of you are pretty lucky that you still enjoy doing a lot of things together, today you seem so many people growing apart with time. Keep the videos coming enjoy watching them.
your wife is awesome and she has such a sweet smile your a lucky guy Mike and i know you know that but just had to say it tell Hunter hey and you guys have a day
Looks like a sturdy start to a great little building Mr. Morgan I wouldn't complain about the weather , still having to snowplow here in the north . Nice video as usual
Good idea using the square as a fence.
Another good video!
ahhhh springtime in the alleghenies !!! 60 then minus 10 then a foot of snow then an ice storm , thunderstorm, heatwave, tornado, two hurricanes, 18" of rain, then dry fire season, then snow ya-da ya-da bla-bla- and thats just a 24 hr time span lol !!!
So just subscribed from Rome Italy, gathering some info for our return to Canada in another five months and our new house on six acres. Tractor Time with Tim and you guys are saving me future time on my expanding bucket list. Thanks so much.
Welcome to the channel, Ian
Cookies Mike. Did 25 for my daughters wedding. Used river birch and sanded each side. Used screws on bottom so they wouldn't stain tablecloths. Used a clear product (clear to keep them from drying too fast and cracking). Firewoodfred
Nice work.
I vote for permanent daylight saving time.
Have a productive day.
Goodevening Melissa love you hat dear
Hey Mike one way to stop those from cracking/ checking is to spray them with hair spray. I did it years ago to some black oak worked well for me. God bless
Mike, building it as you said "overkill" with the 2x10's, is like nails, you will never know if you use too many, but you will know if you don't use enough. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming...spring is just around the corner
Good advise and also, red pine has nowhere the strength that spruce or even white pine has. Not too sure of potential snow loads in Pa. However here in eastern Ontario, my header and rafter choice would have been some of that Norway Spruce you have there.
Good Luck on your build
NDS will give you shear strength of nails, but there are many factors...
Another night Ourdoors with the Morgans . 👍
I was wanting to go back from the start of outdoors with the morgans and watch the old ones.
Another great introduction hope that guy loves his snow .
What a great intro from Canada!!
Great 👍 Intro from a Cold Canadian clearing the Snow and a Great Outro from Ohio. 👍
Hey guys, love the channel. Big thumbs up. Wow, that is a lot of wood.
WOW!!! yo!!! Prince Edward Island!!!!!....Where is Ann??? Green gables and Gracie Fables Forever!!!!! Bet they have lots of wonderful swimming pools on Prince Edward Island....yo....Mike....you payin' 'Tention?????? lol!!!!
hipaa law, looks fantastic,thank you!!!!
Mike I just don’t understand why people gotta hit the thumbs down, you guys are awesome!
If you had 1 more saw horse - then you could saw between horses and still hold a board but the cutoff would float. 4 gets out of hand but could be best. Always more. I have 2 sets of plastic and 1 killer set of steel. When not in use, they are tables. Plyboard (painted) lay on top. Handy and ready (almost) to go.
There it is, Mike's love of 'Mike's M&M's' = Mud and March 8th
One of the big differences with green lumber is that when it shrinks (mainly in width, not length), it puts a death grip on the fasteners used.....which is great unless you need to pull them out later. When we do metal ag roofing we use green white oak purlins. Nothing gets those nails or screws out once the oak dries.
Thanks for the show!!
Another great video. Love it when Melissa does the steps
The woodmiser earning its keep. That shed built with your own lumber is going to be great can't wait to see it finished.
Love the videos! Maybe throwing up some bracing on those post wouldn't be a bad idea! Help keep everything square and plumb.
Mike, I've built a lot of buildings in my younger days now going on 70, I do as much as I can my knees aren't what they used to be by myself. I just figured out a way to do it. All barns when where orginally built, where built with green lumber. Thats how a person could drive a 20 penny nail in without splitting the end
Mike.... . envy these projects that you have the tools, timber and now lumber and oh yeah property to accomplish this with nice sense of accomplistment….and oh yeah a beautiful assistant too
The start up and endings crack me up !! We're all want to be's !
It’s funny watching your videos and experiencing the same weather just north of you in NY. I used the Brush Crusher in the same snow last night.
My biggest challenge in cutting disks, was trying to get them even, so whatever was placed on top of them was not leaning to one side.
Morning coffee with the Morgan’s, doesn’t get any better! Love the intro and outro this morning. Awesome to see the intro from Heath who lives in PEI 🇨🇦! I am in Nova Scotia Canada just a hop skip and jump from him where it’s 21.2F and cloudy. Goes to show you that Outdoors With the Morgan’s is growing globally 😃. Love watching you use your own green lumber Mike, the shed is going to turn out awesome!
Have a great day y’all ! 😃👍
I love it when you go down the stairs i laugh every time
Woodshed starting to look sweet already!! Can't wait for the next episode!! Have a day!!
Coffee with the Morgan's. Have fun building the woodshed. Heading out to continue on my workshop build.
Here on Long Island, if it's not raining, it's howling wind all winter. It's been warm though. Have a day.
Now you can really take someone out behind the woodshed!!😄
Good morning Morgan's. Another fine video enjoyed with BRCC coffee.
Mike, just in case you forgot...'Spring Forward' tonight!! Lol
Good morning Mike and Melissa, brisk day in P.A. Oh well, guess you’ll have to go inside and enjoy TY Day 👍👍 The sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar, it’s only a day away ! Enjoyed watching you all today. Looking forward to seeing your videos on cookie cutting on the WOODMIZER, going to be interesting. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Spring will come soon,i hope ,woudnt take long and mike will work together with grandson ty
Nice start. Admirable skills. Carry on dude. Thank you for sharing your day.
I'm with you Mike , I can't wait for spring to get here . Melissa I enjoy watching you go down the stairs but please tell us whats in the basement ( LOL ) . Another great video , thanks for all your hard work . Hello Hunter and girls.
For Friday before spring forward night it sure looks cold in The Morgans World. Hope y’all had fun with your grandson, great shed Mike, stay warm and safe.
2 boards are alway better than none. And know what you mean about the weather. We had our snow on Friday and sun on Saturday, then today (Sunday) was t-shirt weather? 🤷🏼♂️. Wood shed looks great so far. 👍🏻
Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻
A friend of mine has a house in Connecticut that was built in 1740. All of the wood in the house came from the land they owned. It is the way things were done before there were stores where you could purchase what you needed. Having that sawmill and a forrest allows you to return to the old ways of harvesting lumber, albeit with tools that make the work a lot more pleasant than it would have been in 1740. btw, that 1740 house has a fireplace big enough to walk into, and all the wood for the fire came from the land. So there you have it........sustainable.
I have been waiting since the day you bought that mill to see you start building with the softwoods. Great stuff.
Nice to see you using your own home made lumber. It looks so much nicer, is sturdier, feels so much better and oh yeah, leaves more money for your wife's pool :) I have rugged land by ocean and so many spruce blown down. We should be neighbors and we could share the mill and my excavator.
My uncle tried building a log house using green lumber. He didn't finish it the first season and when he came back in the spring there was a whole crop log houses.
Ty day how great that is and my favorite PIZZA. Mike you will have good weather pretty soon it has been a mild winter. Hello Hunter. Ed
that redpine sure looks nice , i,ve asked a lot of amish sawmill guys that i sell to why not a market ? they claim it warps bad when drying , but i know different areas use it quit a lot , nice stuff ! we cut a lot of it at times and sell to angelica forest products up in ny they make the treated fence pruduscts you find at the big box stores ! sheds coming along nicely !
I wasn't sure about it but so far it's working out well. Several years ago I asked a guy I know (he owns a big mill and operation) he said red pine isn't worth fooling with but never gave me an answer why. Then I talked to others and they use it all the time. I think the first guy just told me that because he thought I wanted him to saw me a bunch and didn't want to mess with it lol
No need to pre-drill green pine. (Unless you're going to go back and tighten every joint) Just start the screws where you want them then put up the board. At this moisture level, the wood fibers are very pliable and just compress around the screw. I would avoid nails because your wood will shrink and they will loosen.
It will be a great shed . Last day of early darkness !! Bring on the time change . Hello to Hunter !!!!!!!
Great vid. I'm in Virginia, just about dead south of you, we had weather like you are getting, it was rain, freezing rain, snow, sunshine, repeat, all that every 10 minutes. Keep up the good work.
I was in that wind in Boston on my layover in shorts because I was supposed to fly from San Diego to Kona, but my schedule was changed to Boston. A bit nippy in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt! Aloha!
i love the puppies you have . it is so heat worming to me i am a dogs. i am a fair weather fan myself.
Mike, with all the screws you'll be setting maybe consider getting solid shank drivers that are not held in with a magnet. And you'll save a lot of time & aggravation using a separate drill motor for pilot holes and a second one for driving screws.
Best wishes for a successful project!
Maybe he could drive the screw part way before putting the board up???
Looking good Mike.
Progress . Great video. 👍✊
Messed with lots of green pine and hemlock you don’t have to predrill keep up the great work
Good Morning Hunter ;-)
Great Start to the Wood Shed! I'm looking forward to longer light in the evenings too!
Athens county here also D&R does a lot of local history
Great show today Mike and Melissa.
“Winter is over, I’m calling it!” ........ Snow delay next day. 😆
Top of the Mourning to you Morgans, "The 1st Lady and Man of Pennsylvania! We Enjoy and Have a Day! 👍
Having a tea with a few crackers. Enjoying the Morgans . Great video.
WELL,
Melissa Buckin' Billy often sez "Over-n-out" but I like the way you just walk down and out the invisible stairs to ... dare I say it? your pool!
did you say out off the MUD ha-ha-ha-ha- oh you silly guy out of the mud !!!! remember we live in mud world lol !!!!! great vid guys !!!
Daylight Savings Time. I can't wait either ... for them to get rid of the twice yearly change!
Good Morning MORGAN'S
Greeting from No. VT - Having worked with green framing lumber at times, I think you are fine for this application with the air drying in place.
Most people do work that is Ok, but craftsmen do work that is OK-Over-Kill. PJ in O-HI-O
showing the growth rings reminded me of the giant oak that fell over that you showed what happened in the past years. If you could reference that in one of your vids, I think a lot of people would enjoy that
Wow, your outro guy got some setup! SUBSCRIBED....
Mike Happy Daylight Saving Time Eve.
Why do you cut off both ends of your 2x12's leaving about 1 1/2' when you could square off on end and then have a piece about 3' or so that could be possibly used for benches of many other uses. Just wondering!
Two reasons, they were never squared ends, end of log and cut with chain saw, and two there is always a little checking and cracks at the ends
He he, "Welcome back to Morgans Mudguppy Meyhem". Keep fightin the weather Mike, it will be sunny some day. The shed is looking good. Great video, thumbs up.
Good channel yeah intros are good
As always, great video. I really liked the outrow you chose today. The gentleman was extremely well spoken. Just went over to his channel and subscribed. Cheers, Steve
Is the cabin finished?
SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE: Hello Tye!!…welcome to the world. Bet you can’t wait to get away from eating strained peas and start eating pizza. Hi Piper. Hi Ruger. Tell your owners to bring you to the Paul Bunyan show this year. Hi Hannah!
Mike I learn at least one thing from every one of your videos. This one... I’ve never used a speed square as a saw guide. That changes tomorrow.
I had to make some coasters for my daughters wedding party. So I found a tree about 3" or 4" in diameter nothing special about the tree and I didn't really pay much attention to its shape. After I started cutting the pieces they were heart shaped.
Great video. Curious to see how you cut ends off logs with that wood mill.
Melissa that's what happens when you come home from the gym and jump in to work. Lol God bless
Mike and Melissa have a look at smoky mountain outpost march7/20 Tony and Cora Newfoundland Have a day
LOVE YOUR BONNET MELISSA. SAY HI TO EVA AND HUNTER AND ANNA AND LEVI.
Hey Mike, just so you know the time changes tonight!
As seen on the internet: This coming week: "We change our clocks on Sunday, Have a full moon on Monday and end with Friday the 13th: Wash your hands everyone!!!"
Wash you hands,...yes and wait for the water to get hot too, if you want to be really clean!
The ONLY way to stop them Checking is to stop them losing water!
Cool vid (ha-ha) 😀👍
