Wow, from Rainbow Poplar to Walnut and what beautiful grain! Love the live edge pieces. It’s amazing how trees cover up nails and carriage bolts with new growth. The Walnut should bring good money and offset blade resharpening.
I don't even know how I got to this channel, but I'm just impressed with how you can put out daily content. All I do is play guitar for fifteen seconds and I can't even get shorts out every day.
3 things help spead the word, and thus their videos get suggested to newbies. Why make shorts which get a dozen views?, and the 3 month old "classic" one is overmodulated to my ears. U have your whole life to live. Try new things, etc
I completely understand the pressure and attraction to shorts. Uses the same format as ig vs the opposite. I watched them for a while but honestly if I am in a hurry I prefer to just watch a normal one at 2x speed, sound off, closed captions.
That was a pretty slab! Sorry you had to change blades so many times. Thanks for sharing your day with us and I hope you ladies have a wonderful evening. TTFN
Many Sawerss are using the more expensive carbide tipped blades because of their long life between sharpening. They also cut through any nails they encounter in the log and keep on cutting. I am sure your customers will appreciate the beautiful slabs you sliced.
I had a friend used a piece of wood from a tree near a old mine entrance. He used a pin point metal detector then cut and wirewheelsto expose one half of two square nails along the length and one exposed into the air. He then used pour epoxy to make a flat topped end table. Absolutley gorgeous and the way the wood grew around the old square headd nails is impressive.
Hmm. Well youtube is on the fritz. I commented on that walnut saying it would make a nice bar and boy will that person be confused. Lol Good vids. Keep them coming.
Nice work. Been a hard day changing blades but looks worth it. The slab looks really good. Will make something really special with that. Keep up the great work big 👍.
Either using carbide tipped blades to cut through the nails or finding them with a pin point metal detector and getting them out might be options worthwhile exploring.
Curious about a couple things. Why did they have nails in them? Do you know? And it looked like at least one of them had a rectangular section cutout. Makes me wonder where these came from and what they were used for. Any idea?
The guy that milled my friends big walnut with a woodmizer said every nails gonna cost ya fifty bucks and that was over ten years ago. 😮 That's Canadian dollars so bout twenty murican 🤣👍🍻
I had some pine milled a few years ago for a project. The leftovers I used to make a door for a friend. When I took it out an planed it I found a lead slug buried in one board. I ended up leaving it in the board and made door so it would show about chest high as a conversation piece..My friend loved it. I hope you didn't go through to many blades.
Important !! The walnut slabs,, if not lumber,, process for firewood. Black walnut is the finest firewood in the east half of the US. It burns perfectly,, and the scent is wonderful.
Would it have been better to use the logs with metal in them as firewood? When you take into account the cost of the blades and downtime vs value of the boards?
My grandmother had a huge walnut tree in her backyard. After she died and her house was gone, I’m not sure what happened to that tree. I would have liked to have a slab. I wouldn’t have had the means to get it myself at the time though. 🤷♂️🙏🏻❤
Do they sell carbide tipped blades for that mill? Would they cut through the nails/metal without ruining the blade? less work for gradpa. Always enjoy your videos
I wonder if you can fix and/or resharpen the blades or if it's just a total loss (I'm sure the blades are expensive). My cousin has a portable mill (up to 16', with a ittle 4 cylinder diesel). He got permission to cull dead trees out of a forest near Eagle's Nest, New Mexico. He can cut them down and drag them out with a chain bolted on but he doesn't have any way to load and haul in logs. so he just cuts slabs there on the forest road and loads up the slabs....
You are experienced enough to know the answer. Go deep. The mill I worked at had a ,debarked, which helps. But, if we suspected metal, you slab 3 or 4 inches.or just cut a tie out of the heart.
Wondering how these nails get into the logs ? Are these in a location where someone would be putting nails in for some reason or is this someone walking in the woods with nails and hammer making it tough for mills. I'd really like to find out more.
I was really looking forward to hearing that old cringing kazzzzing when the blade hits a nail. Could you do another vid n get the mic in close for me?
You need to fill in some of the blanks on this! And , "Oh Yeah - plenty of metal in these..." JEEZUS! (great camera work guys - Too bad you didn't get the SOUND tho. It STILL Makes me wince)
I had a big ponderosa pine on my property that had US Border Patrol cameras mounted in it. (I live right on the US/CA border in WA). The tree fell over in a heavy snow, so I contacted the Border patrol. They sent out a supervisor to inspect it. I said I'd prefer they didn't cut up the main log, as I wanted to mill it (42" at the small end), and he said np. There were quite a few cable hooks and lag bolts holding all the gear on, so I asked if they could leave that all on and I'd remove it, or if they chose to remove it to make sure they didn't snap them off. He said np. After they were done I inspected the log and saw quite a few holes where the bolts and fasteners had been, and it looked like they had done a decent job. They hadn't. I cut 8 lag bolts and ruined three blades. Once I dug down into the log slabs, I could see that they just pried them back and forth until the bolts broke off below the bark. Milling metal sucks. : /
Man, where the ants got to it, would look great with some clear, and colored epoxies. Those Slabs would make an awesome headboard with some Butterfly joiners.
I love the back ground music and Miss Jade does a great job with the camera along with your editing. Unfortunately, when she is holding the camera, we don't see much of her.
For whatever reason, somebody put the nails in tree when it was younger and tree grew around them. Maybe the nails were for hanging a sign long ago? Have no experience milling but have hit steel or embedded rocks (that a tree has grown around) plenty of times with chainsaw. If mild steel, like barbed wire, or piece of chain link fence, can easily sharpen teeth and be good to go again, but hardened steel like a nail can easily obliterate chain teeth. So in latter case, one tosses the ruined chain and puts on a new one.

You nailed it!!!❤
😏😆👍🏻
A tip, cover the wheels on the saw, so they ill be protected from sun and will last longer 😀 Love your channel
I love the camera going right through the log with the blade as it comes out the other end. Awesome camera work/editing.
Hey Emerald Your life is a love story between you and woods 🪵🪓❤
Howdy Ms Emerald good music today. You'll be saying Howdy y'all in no time
Liked today’s music selection and slab.
I love walnut.
Wow, from Rainbow Poplar to Walnut and what beautiful grain! Love the live edge pieces. It’s amazing how trees cover up nails and carriage bolts with new growth. The Walnut should bring good money and offset blade resharpening.
Some Rocky Mountain beetle kill pine to finish the pallete. It has green, blue, aqua, stains and streaks. Pretty in an odd way. 🤷♂️
I didn't know that Walnut was valuable enough to justify the cost of the blades. Excellent video ladies thank you.👍♥️♥️
I don't even know how I got to this channel, but I'm just impressed with how you can put out daily content. All I do is play guitar for fifteen seconds and I can't even get shorts out every day.
Emerald really puts them out regularly 👍💯

I guess the blade costs are built into the price of the slabs. Good work. Nice camera angles. Enjoyable to watch.
That was a pretty slab! Sorry you had to change blades so many times. Thanks for sharing your day with us and I hope you ladies have a wonderful evening. TTFN
You should show us how you put another blade on and maybe some of the maintenance of that machine.

I am sure your customers will appreciate the beautiful slabs you sliced.
My favorite woods are black walnut and tiger maple. 👍🏻
YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS QUITE AMAZING !! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !! BE WELL !!
You two are so creative with your videos. It is amazing how you can make sawing logs so interesting. Thanks for making and sharing your videos.
I had a friend used a piece of wood from a tree near a old mine entrance.

Some of those nails create beautiful extra colour in the wood grain. Premium prices for the saw blade loss but exceptional wood colouring.
Heartwood of black walnut is some beautiful wood.
Awesome...walnut is such a beautiful wood. The two inch piece has table tops written all over it. Nice work you all.
Amazing slabs...Wow!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
🤙🐺🧙♂️
Hmm. Well youtube is on the fritz. I commented on that walnut saying it would make a nice bar and boy will that person be confused. Lol
Good vids. Keep them coming.
Nice work. Been a hard day changing blades but looks worth it. The slab looks really good. Will make something really special with that. Keep up the great work big 👍.
Very good Video 👍 👍
Omg your eyes ❤❤❤
Beautiful slabs today
New Camera Person? Nice to see the closeups.
Excellent video. Jade has some mad skills shooting these.
Either using carbide tipped blades to cut through the nails or finding them with a pin point metal detector and getting them out might be options worthwhile exploring.
Thanks for the video M!
we really love you xxx
That reminds me, I need to nail some more no trespassing signs up on trees.
Was just thinking the same😂😂😂😂
Make sure of walnut regardless of meta, it's one o the most sough after woods today !!
Even disturbed wood has efficacy 😁👌
I had cut off jean shorts when I lived in PA too !!
Curious about a couple things. Why did they have nails in them? Do you know? And it looked like at least one of them had a rectangular section cutout. Makes me wonder where these came from and what they were used for. Any idea?
The guy that milled my friends big walnut with a woodmizer said every nails gonna cost ya fifty bucks and that was over ten years ago. 😮 That's Canadian dollars so bout twenty murican 🤣👍🍻
If you listen closely you can hear the grandfather sighing and getting ready to sharpen blades!
I had some pine milled a few years ago for a project. The leftovers I used to make a door for a friend. When I took it out an planed it I found a lead slug buried in one board. I ended up leaving it in the board and made door so it would show about chest high as a conversation piece..My friend loved it. I hope you didn't go through to many blades.
Great camera work!
Really like the figuring on some of those pieces
Beautiful slabs. Glad you took a few out for us woodworker types.
Love Black Walnut
But you won' t get nuts now though!
👍😉🇨🇦
Beautiful wood, kid.
I’m about one hour and a half from your sawmill I will be stopping by in a couple of weeks
what is the little circular saw running ahead of the bandsaw is all about
Well that wood looked awesome, thanks for the video and great camera work!
Walnut is the shizzle! Good call on leaving a double live edge. If the end user wants a straight edge they can always cut it off.
Important !! The walnut slabs,, if not lumber,, process for firewood. Black walnut is the finest firewood in the east half of the US. It burns perfectly,, and the scent is wonderful.
Don't put that black walnut ash in your garden or lawn, its toxic n nptjing will grow.
great and cool, you have a tool that will not drain your energy in wood processing 🤩
Nicely done ❤📹👍
Some rare square knot variety of walnut 🤔
Nice soothing background music and, as always, great videography.
I always "like" LCLY videos first and then I watch the video. I haven't been wrong yet.
How does this metal get into these trees? or, theories on how this happens?
I remember nailing 2x4s to a tree to build a tree fort😅
I saw the wood ,black and sweet i wish you success always 😍
Good job.
Those logs must have been next to free. Lots of profit even with the broken blades.
Do you not have some way to metal detect the logs for metal before cutting or do you just destroy a blade and call it bushiness as usual ?
That’s gorgeous walnut. I would be interested in a slab or two maybe three
Good evening! Nice wood, despite the blade changing/replacement required. BTW, I love that shirt. You hugged it before cutting the tree up! 😂
The hills in the background look very green and lush👍 awesome.
Would it have been better to use the logs with metal in them as firewood? When you take into account the cost of the blades and downtime vs value of the boards?

Matthew Cremona uses them and just keeps cutting
That is some beautiful would you guys cut today. Nice job girls
Just happy to see not go to firewood.
VERY GOOD !!!!

I really dislike farmer logs, always full of nails. Around here it's usually ponderosa pine.
Wondering how these nails get into the logs ? Are these in a location where someone would be putting nails in for some reason or is this someone walking in the woods with nails and hammer making it tough for mills. I'd really like to find out more.
Good job ladies and a special thanx to Jade for the excellent camera work she does tend to be a bit chatty tho. 😁
Other than the man-made blemishes that is some gorgeous walnut.
I was really looking forward to hearing that old cringing kazzzzing when the blade hits a nail. Could you do another vid n get the mic in close for me?
Beautiful wood.
What blade degree did you use for the walnut? What do you use for the hemlock?
Good coffin material LOL

Exlnt Material.....
Man, where the ants got to it, would look great
with some clear, and colored epoxies.
Those Slabs would make an awesome headboard
with some Butterfly joiners.
Re-saw walnut for guitar backs and sides, and make millions and billions of dollars.
M, nice gams, seriously.
How is this lumber marketed as with metal chunks? Can y'all still use it to make other products?
Do you know what storybook (flooring) will do with Black Walnut/metal.
Does the mill sawing CPU know what position the log clamp is in? Is it possible to saw into the clamp due to operator error?
I personally would NEVER waste my time with walnut except possibly firewood. But you can make money on firewood obviously!
Where is the metal coming from? Are tree-huggers shooting nails into trees, or ??? That was a gorgeous piece of walnut and the end, btw!!
just curious, is there a chance when dealing with metal in the logs, to hit one and have it go shooting out, embedding itself somewhere?
In that first log, there seemed to be a rectangular void about the size of an electric junction box. What gives with that?
Nice looking oak
do you sell the one with all the metal in it or was that for someone else i would like to buy it
I love the back ground music and Miss Jade does a great job with the camera along with your editing. Unfortunately, when she is holding the camera, we don't see much of her.
Hello Emerald, I watch your videos daily. I'm not sure if you mentioned or not previously, but what happened to Sami? We haven't seen her in a while.
You must have missed a few episodes. Sami and Zack moved to MN with their mom.
As a complete novice to this topic, how did nails end up in what looked like freshly cut trees?
For whatever reason, somebody put the nails in tree when it was younger and tree grew around them. Maybe the nails were for hanging a sign long ago? Have no experience milling but have hit steel or embedded rocks (that a tree has grown around) plenty of times with chainsaw. If mild steel, like barbed wire, or piece of chain link fence, can easily sharpen teeth and be good to go again, but hardened steel like a nail can easily obliterate chain teeth. So in latter case, one tosses the ruined chain and puts on a new one.
waiting for the videos on grilling with wood instead of charcoal
