I usually didn't wear gloves when I was saw milling on the green side. However when working the dry side with planed wood I always did. Planed wood splinters go deeper because they're smooth.
You are so lucky that you still have a logging and native timber industry as well have had native timber logging banned here in Victoria, Australia. So now we have to IMPORT timber (except for Pine) but apart from that, it has also seriously affected our fire wood industry. I could go on and on about this but I really do appreciate the family's dedication to an honourable industry. Stay strong!! :)
In my teens I worked at a mill in the U.P. of michigan then later went into logging when I graduated in 1973 then went on to log for the next 25 years or so it is very interesting to me to see the changes in the technology of the business with the high tech improvements yet the same problems thanks for sharing.
We had the most beautiful Hemlocks here in the north Georgia mountains until the Wooly Adelgid wiped them out. There's a group still trying to save them with a pesticide application and of course planting saplings. I haven't checked in with them in a long time to see how it's going. I wonder if PA is participating in anything similar? There's an old saying: species come, species go... sadly, it is just plain truth that nothing will last forever....cept ❤ 😊
The Wooly Adelgid insect has destroyed so many of our Hemlocks here in Central PA. There are locations in higher elevations that still have live trees, but most trees have the insect infestations. We're in Southern Clinton County, and in our 40 acre lot, we may have 25-30 that are still alive. We'll be milling them soon so that we don't lose them too.
Hemlock is now going to get more expensive as pine is cheaper and Pine is cheaper... enjoy and Loved your approach and the cut on the second log the real time one.. Taking that base hump out then making a another shallow cut to get the edge off the full length... that was smooth move.. gave you a extra board doing that. Not as wide as 10 inch or so but clearly a board just the same about 6 inches if not more. Watching Jade move the lumber on the pile while the LT was pushing back.. Yeah her eyes were watching everything and knows when to give up back off and let the machine go. Good spatial awareness
Love the view of the hills in the background, the semis on the highway rolling by, traffic doing it's thing, the low inventory and you two working the mill. A lot going on on a beautiful day.
I like your overall sawmill setup. You just keep making improvements. As fast as you are cutting that lumber, you are really making that sister of yours keep a moving. Of course, it's obvious that you are both great workers. Good luck on getting a good supply of the right logs.
You are a very wonderful girl. I admire you so much. I wish I could be by your side to experience your work and have you share it. I wish you good health. I am always with you. .
I remember driving from Ohio to West Virginia in the late sixties and early seventies,dad was pointing out all the elm trees wiped out by the Dutch Elm disease,the in 2003 my sister bought a beautiful Queen Ann Victorian home in Toledo Ohio ,was surrounded by the most beautiful ash trees you’ve ever seen .they started showing signs of the ash boar when I moved here in 2005 and by 2007 they were all completely dead and removed ,so sad 😞
Like the view from over the woodpile. You can see the whole operation and also how far away you are from actual cutting. Alway worried about that beautiful hair flying around during operation. Was glad to see you put hair up for the work portion of the day. Cheers.
I must say, I watch a lot of these videos; it is not hard to see just how big an improvement that LT70 is. The shots of the whole area are good. Shows that your yard is right next to a local road. Down in the valley is a divided highway. When we left Lycoming County in 57, there just were not a whole lot of divided highways there.
'What?! I thought the camera was on the last log, not second to last.' Puppo: 'I moved it. Because.' Spring is looking great in the background in your area. Sorry to hear about the Hemlock blight issue. It goes without saying, but I'm saying it, it's tough to have demand when you don't have product.
ive used green hemlock here in north carolina for years for building projects. cheap reliable wood. love this channel best wishes to u hard working folks
I've noticed over time that your rages generally carry a good deal of info I'd otherwise not know. In short, I like them. Also, you being from the glorious mountains of PA I'm sure you're aware of the Chestnut Blight that devastated those trees last century. We can only pray that such a catastrophe does not play out with the Hemlock. I've noticed on the medium shot from the carrier that the cutting arm of the 70 bounces quite a bit at the end of the return. Does it affect aligning the next cut at all? Get more mugs into stock. New pup's looking gorgeous.
Business is good and the supply is not. Looks like more hardwood in the future. I swear you ladies get more gorgeous every day. The mill operates very quickly maybe if you get some logs the orders can be filled and put some inventory out on display. Excellent job ladies thank you for sharing.👍♥️♥️
Well I like the old hemlock forest I have on my 20 acre piece in northern Massachusetts. I will start thinning soon to get more light in. My deer have been moving to other properties that have been cut of. Do hemlocks make good beams for timber framing?
Hemlock is such a sturdy wood and holds up well in the weather. I’m building a timber frame shed on the side of my garage with open ends for my motorcycle in the summer and snowblower in the winter with racks for the eight mounted winter/ summer tires. I plan on using rough cut hemlock. A little too far for me to trailer down for such a small order. You will eventually get caught up running that bad boy mill! Tempting though😃
Hello. I love your channel and your content. The part when you were videoing in live time was interesting. I don’t see how you cut flat lumber. The saw head on the mill is always bouncing around. It does settle when you get into the cut. It just moves around way more than I expected.
The American Chestnut blight was brought in with the introduction of the Chinese Chestnut sad that another native tree has been attacked also. Hang in there Ladies! John Toccoa GA
There have been several useful and-or beautiful trees that have been decimated by various blights. It seems the less useful or less beautiful trees have had fewer problems. Hmmm. And I hope the yard and sawmill has good surveillance, being close to the public road. There are those who don't like Woodmizer, and would like to make it look like a bad sawmill.
Well doncha know that a Hemlock tree looks like a Pine tree? Close enough for government work!! We just used some Hemlock here too....good stuff for sure.
I used to frame houses in NY's Hudson Valley. Most builders ordered hem-fir which is a species of hemlock that was used for all framing members. It is less expensive than Douglas fir and almost as strong. But some builders would order spruce (SPF) which is fine for studs but would also order the much stronger southern yellow pine (SYP) for joists and rafters which BTW is harder to saw and nail.
Emerald I noticed your tattoo and the inscription above it. It definitely fits your work ethic and the way you approach life as far as I can tell since I’ve only “ known” you guys for a few weeks. Would you care to share what inspired that tattoo and the inscription? I’ve been been binge watching y’all’s channel trying to get to know everyone. Y’all have such an awesome family. Also, I noticed in the early videos there was an older brother and another sister. Did they leave to seek their own paths? I hope I’m not coming across to personal. If so, just tell me to go find some hemlock!!
The older brother and sister did move to another state and will not be coming to work at LCLY any more. Given your enthusiasm, I recommend that you join the "Week Review" as well.
Hello lumber girl is Kevin from Australia Queensland I like working with metal actually but I do like your lumbar shows cut in the timber it is very entertaining thank you and good luck with you get your timber you want
I would go with Cedar* or Douglas Fir for outdoor projects. Cedar is naturally rot resistant and pest control in one. Douglas Fir has been used for the critically important structural strength RIBS for fishing boats and cargo ships** so it is not as soft a wood as would be expected from being a fir. * Untreated Cedar shakes or siding both have a 25 year life span when completely exposed to the weather, treating / painting extends that. Cedar is also a natural pest control as in the wood is toxic to insects and rodents. sawdust / shavings around from Cedar keeps mice / rats away. * Old "age of Sail" Schooners etc built with Douglas Fir as ribs and they handled the tasks perfectly.
You mill what grows locally couldn't afford to call Douglas fir all the way from the west coast to mill it. The trucking would make the lumber once sawn so expensive nobody would buy it. Not sure how common cedar is in that region either we have some around here but not a lot so cedar logs are expensive because of the limited supply
In the US we call that the Monterey pine and it's native to the southern west coast and Mexico, a small region with comparable climate to New Zealand. California's primary pine harvest is the Ponderosa pine, a much larger species, but that is dwarfed by their fir harvest. LCLY, on the other hand, is in a region at a similar latitude to New York city, and for a distance comparison that is about 1.5 New Zealands north from where I reside in the south east were pine in our primary farm and harvest lumber.
Hey emerald hemlocks are not suffering from a blit it's wolly adalg you are referring to as a licensed Pesticide applicator here in western North Carolina I treat a lot of trees in ornamental setting but the adalgs have all but wiped out or hemlocks in Forrest settings 😢I'd say they will up in PA to might as well get the lumber while you can.
I'm one of the early subscribers. I'm so glad to see the progress. Amazing 😊. When I have kids, I want to teach them to help me in business the same way you're helping your family business
I recently re-watched some of the older videos from a couple of years ago. It really comes to something when unedited normal speed on the new mill passes at the same rate as the jump cut videos of the old mill. Why not do another video with the stopwatch showing how quick it is, like you did when you had just installed the new mill, now that you are fully acclimated to the controls?
.. I have a few Chinese Hemlock seeds to start again for my third or so year ive been trying they are blight resistant compared to eastern hemlock .. cute fir trees ..!
I love hemlock for its natural rot resistance. Ironically a logger friend said he hated hemlock and couldnt even give them away. No one would buy them here. I was having talks about buying them so I could use for a log home I was planning to build and he was initially agreeing. And then a few short months later he went out of business and had to get a J.O.B working for someone else. Tough business and he lost. I hated that for him.
Fortunately we dont have that problem here in Maine, at least not yet...when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s they had to constantly spray for spruce bud worm.
Your sister has some tough skin, no gloves on and handling rough cut lumber. My hats off to all of you, what a great work ethic. Keep on milling.
Maybe she's built up a tough skin. I'd have to wear gloves.
No gloves is nicer when it's hot
Wet timber doesn't give you splinters like dry timber
I usually didn't wear gloves when I was saw milling on the green side. However when working the dry side with planed wood I always did.
Planed wood splinters go deeper because they're smooth.
It is nice to see the mountain in the backgound all green again...
I liked the real time part of the video. The mill is fast, and there is no wasted motion between cuts.
Enjoyed the real time segment!
Be Safe and as always, stay aware of youur surroundings and enjoy your time with the family.
Emerald, you made some very good choices. I loved seeing both sped up and real time. Great video in so many ways.
“it’s our job so we gotta do what we gotta do” - powerful statement most people don’t recognize. Love this channel!
Life can be so beautiful when everyone in the family helps together!😊👍
You are so lucky that you still have a logging and native timber industry as well have had native timber logging banned here in Victoria, Australia.

I really enjoy the tunes you have with the video as well.
As always your videos are great, I love the content, and most of all…your flawless looks , even ( a little body art ) ❤❤❤❤
Amazing to watch in real time for the mill.
the real time really helps see what the job is really like.
That LT 70 is a log eating monster! I just got my own clunky old mill I bought used fired up and cutting today! I am so stoked.
Another good video, thanks Em and Jade.
In my teens I worked at a mill in the U.P. of michigan then later went into logging when I graduated in 1973 then went on to log for the next 25 years or so it is very interesting to me to see the changes in the technology of the business with the high tech improvements yet the same problems thanks for sharing.
mostly douglas fir and western red cedar here in the pnw. along with alder and cottonwood.
Haven't watched in a while, nice to see you have a feed deck with stop and loads. That's gotta make the job so much nicer than using peeves.
You guys are incredible people, there's so
many good qualities you have that the world
is a better place with you all in it.❤
Loved this one, great work, Ladies! Thanks
We had the most beautiful Hemlocks here in the north Georgia mountains until the Wooly Adelgid wiped them out.

Great looking German shepherd! My favorite dog!
Thallona is a good dog!!
You make sawing lumber look easy! Woodmizer must love your family and this channel!!!
The Wooly Adelgid insect has destroyed so many of our Hemlocks here in Central PA. There are locations in higher elevations that still have live trees, but most trees have the insect infestations. We're in Southern Clinton County, and in our 40 acre lot, we may have 25-30 that are still alive. We'll be milling them soon so that we don't lose them too.
Do the insects bore the wood, or is it still possible to saw and use (newly) dead trees?
Hemlock is now going to get more expensive as pine is cheaper and Pine is cheaper... enjoy and Loved your approach and the cut on the second log the real time one.. Taking that base hump out then making a another shallow cut to get the edge off the full length... that was smooth move.. gave you a extra board doing that.

Ladies, you have a beautiful landscape to look at everyday. It probably looks old hat to you, but it's great. You are so lucky in that respect.
Well put together,you lil ladies are still the badassest out their,amen, ✌ ❤ 😊 🙏!
Love the view of the hills in the background, the semis on the highway rolling by, traffic doing it's thing, the low inventory and you two working the mill. A lot going on on a beautiful day.
It's crazy how much that mill wobbles when it returns after a cut. It's hard to believe it stays accurate.
Another Great Video Thx Lumber Capitol Yard . Of course Em and Jade .
getting pretty efficient running the mill. Well done.
I like your overall sawmill setup. You just keep making improvements. As fast as you are cutting that lumber, you are really making that sister of yours keep a moving. Of course, it's obvious that you are both great workers. Good luck on getting a good supply of the right logs.

Hoping the blight will run its course. Good luck!
I love your shirt and what it said ❤❤❤
I like that T-shirt as well. You can get one of your own at their Merch store.
I will watch what ever you post!!!
Like the view from over the woodpile. You can see the whole operation and also how far away you are from actual cutting. Alway

I still love watching Ya’ll videos.
Nice, Hemlocks are suffering a blight and people are desperate to cut it down for lumber. Future seems bright for the Hemlock in your region.
❤ Rockin Roll ❤️ love what you do ❤
I have a huge hemlock on the ground in upstate N.Y. after a windstorm last summer . It’s all yours.
Pine is useless after it sits with the bark on. Boring bugs eat it up.
I have to love these presentations. Your a really expressive promotor. You'd have been great on the Polka Dot Door from the 90s.
Keep up the good work ladies, you put a lot of people to shame, N/E Scotland.
I've noticed over time that your rages generally carry a good deal of info I'd otherwise not know. In short, I like them.

Emerald has already ordered more mugs. I don't know how long it will take to get them in.

Ponytail looks really good.
Finally nice weather, and a break from firewood season. For now.
it is my opinion that they should be making firewood right now!

I thought it was Dutch elm disease
@@chadrowe8452 That's just one of many blights or diseases of our trees.
and nobody is breeding the ones that survive or cross polinate?
also nobody is treating for blight?
@@pazsion Actually they have . Just very small limited American chestnut last night red years ago they were working on it
Well doncha know that a Hemlock tree looks like a Pine tree? Close enough for government work!!
We just used some Hemlock here too....good stuff for sure.
Love the wide shot.
My LCLY ceramic mug arrived today. Looks great! 👍 Will try it out with tomorrow morning’s coffee ☕️. Ordered four bags of coffee yesterday.
Love the thumbnail ❤ Have a wonderful day
Mill is really nice, tell pops great job getting that one!
Nothing wrong with selling everything you make as long its enough to keep you busy

Amazing video as always, I wish u all the best for the Hemlock
The first cuts off the log can you immediately use them as siding on a barn or shed or does it need to season or cure? Thanks !
It must be a big adjustment to move from a back of the mill setup to the front. Looks like you got the hang of it tho :)
Be careful. That looks like it hurts! Great video girls, as always.
The side on views really shows how much larger the Lt70 is than your old mill
GREAT VIDEO Time for that buck board to catch the saw dust
Nice to see people happy finding them self in a business directory ,whatever the field construction ,building .'Marketing ...
Thanks for sharing 🍸
Thanks beautiful ladies.
Great job girls, I've been milling with a chainsaw & I so badly need a bandsaw mill
Give the ladies a thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

sorry to hear that!
😂😂😂 read the title again and pay special attention ""looks" like the " " matter. Now watch the video. Business is fine.
Part of Sleeping Bear Dunes here in Michigan was closed because of an adelgid outbreak infecting the hemlocks there.
no doubt the new mill cranks out the boards
In New Zealand90%of homes are built using Pinus Radiata,lasts over 100years plus. We grow a hell of a lot it.
In the US we call that the Monterey pine and it's native to the southern west coast and Mexico, a small region with comparable climate to New Zealand.

I'm surprised by how much that head flexes when it changes direction.
I got plenty of mature hemlock up hear in NY, half of them r close to the road.
Put your thinking caps on and start looking for woodlot blocks that the customer wants done.
They have been buying standing timber for many years
Thanks
Отличное видео спасибо большое вам ❤️ привет из Таджикистана 🇹🇯 ✊🤝🙋🌏
Hi Lumber Capital Log Yard & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Lumber Capital Log Yard & Friends & Randy
Hemlock adelgid, an insect that sucks sap out of needles. It can wipe out whole stands.
All the hemlock ive been cutting here in central NY has that wooly hemlock disease. We're going to have a hemlock shortage in a few years
Noooo! I got some Hemlock from you last year and was expecting to again before Summer.
better get your order in!
Fortunately we dont have that problem here in Maine, at least not yet...when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s they had to constantly spray for spruce bud worm.
hey ...good morning beautiful day 😊👌
Beautiful 2x4!!!
Have some small mills here in CT. One has been here 3 generations.
