You're a lucky man Mike Morgan. Not only do you make a good living doing what you like on your own property but you get to work with your wife and kids too.
Just like a family farm.
Friend of mine who runs a family farm, when people comment how lucky he is, usually replies "you know, the harder I work, the luckier I get" Says it al really ...
Malco, Yes farming with the family is not a bed of roses. I grew up with kids that were on dairy farms. They learned responsibilities and work came first. As driving in the country side , it was easy to see who the hard workers were. You are absolutely right about hard work makes you happy.
Is that Levi? Hey, we want to see more of Levi in the videos too. Love seeing teamwork in action.
Mike, I wish you had known my father in-law. When he visited, he took great joy in slightly, ever so slightly tilting anything hanging on the walls. Photos, paintings, posters, you name it. He would leave my brother in-laws home and his wife would have a nervous breakdown finding the stuff he set askew. He would have loved your stacked and stickered lumber.
Enter my youngest son, the comedian, home from college. Clock above the sink, dead battery, can't reach, he grabs it for me. I replace the battery, reset the clock, he replaces it above the sink. Next day, clock is 20 minutes slow, crap old battery. Get step ladder, new battery. Two days later, clock is now 55 minutes slow. Come on, another bad battery! Replace. Day five, catch my son turning the clock back 35 minutes. As I glared at him and he had snot squirting out his nose...He mused, Pappy Al had nothing on me. Two weeks after he returned to school, my wife was staring at the wall above the micro wave cart. She realized the picture from the kitchen was hanging in the dining room and the picture she was looking at belonged in the dining room. He is.....The master!!!
"PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP" & "PRIDE IN OUR WORK!" Save America! Great job Mike!
Wish we could have seen Mellisa help you with stickering the lumber. Have a great day Morgans!
Mike is too particular and they get crossways.
I’m sure that was intended as pure sarcasm. She’s tried to help in the past but has now taken the pledge! The only stack that will please MM is a MM stack! 🤠👍✅
This made me smile. Well done! A stack of lumber as a work of art.
As long as you keep your neighbors happy you’ll be fine!
You are right but that can be quite the challenge.
I sure wish Melissa was there to help you stack and sticker this lumber. As you said Mike, earlier in the video, you are pretty particular about the stack and sticker process. Melissa, on the other hand, doesn't care for your need for such precision in the stack and sticker process. You guys get me laughing so hard with Mike sticking to his guns (no pun intended) and Melissa just doing her thing with the stacking the lumber as she sees fit. Mike, I think she does it just to wind you clock a bit. I miss the good ole' days.
Love you guys,
Alan from NC
Good morning, Mike. It was nice watching you working with Levi and Eva in the last few videos. I know I enjoy working beside my kids and grandkids when they come home to visit. You and Melissa stay healthy and enjoy life.
Awesome!!
Great Looking Pile Of Lumber!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Proud of you Mike and Family. You are doing your best to do it right.
That’s a beautiful stack of lumber. Exactly how I would do it. And it does make a difference for sure. Hope you folks have a great day
Good Tuesday morning Mike, Melissa and family! Hope you have a wonderful day, and rest of your week.
Morning everyone….praying for the poor folks on that bridge that collapsed in Baltimore 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mike it’s looking like Levi has definitely earned his pay today. What a work out. Sure is some nice lumber. As usual, thanks for sharing
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter!!😊
I just saw that, that’s crazy
Hiya Jack. Yeah, crazy about bridge.
Unbelievable
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fantastic and Blessed Day 🤠
Nice Mike, any job worth doing is worth doing right, dad always told us. Your stack of lumber looks great, many projects are forth coming with all the red pine. Your kiln should be coming in a bit as well. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey, we appreciate it. :)
Mike, I really like how particular you are about everything you do. It definitely shows it the results of what you’re doing. That trait is definitely lacking in people today. Thanks for another great video.
You might think about building a drying shed. If you've ever seen a tobacco barn, it's something like that. I worked as a hardwood broker for several years and got to understand the process pretty well. Air movement is also key to air drying.
Mike, you stack and sticker lumber like you stack firewood.....pretty as a picture! I love your content, the only RUclips channel that I watch every episode. Always a good start to my day, and I thank you!
Hi Mike, great job on stacking the red pine. One note on placing stickers...the closer you can put a sticker to the end of the board, the better because if the wood is going to check, it will almost always stop at the sticker. Keep up the great work!
When you were talking about the 1/16th it reminded me of when I was an apprentice bricklayer many many years ago, I had a very good Forman and he ran his crew like a army boot camp, wanted all the head joints (vertical) to line up perfectly, he always asked what is 1/16th X 16= 1 inch. He was a great teacher.
Blessings on this resurrection weekend.
Hi Mike. Was that Levi helping earlier? I wondered? Why Melissa doesn't help you? She adds her " character " to your video. ???? Beautiful red pine lumber. I agree about stacking. I'm going to try building a " greenhouse." For my future lumber boards. It can get up in the 90s. While it's in the upper 20s outside. That will dry the lumber naturally. ( My best friend's family had one.) I saw Pete 319 & Lauren stopped by Mark Galicic & Ed Horvath sawmill over the weekend. He's walking w/ a full leg brace. He's walking well too. 😍😊😉👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks Mike. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲
Nice stack! You might consider putting your stickers every foot. Helps with cup and twist. Keeping them in line is critical...well done. I worked in large, hardwood sawmills for almost 30 years, and we always took care in stickering to assure a good drying job.
Good morning! I've heard that if you put the sticker at the very end of the board it helps prevent cracking
Sealing the ends of the logs also helps a lot
Nice lumber for sure, and if you need some help thinning out the gobblers this spring give me a call. Nothing like spring gobbler hunting. Love it. Take care.
I like your thinking on the property. The time to plan is when everything is going well. That's when you're thinking clearly. Always need to have a Plan B.
Mike i love your attitude when it comes to life we think alike i have been in my own construction an environmental company for 45 years one think you got to watch out for is time i will be 84 in June the last time i look at the time i was 60 i still don't know what happened to the last 24 years went by the way i gave my company to my daughter an son-in-law they are doing great. So i remind you time is the most important thing you get to manage .ps stop to smell the roses i love your vids Gary Schurig
Great job, if only people would take pride in what they do, like you do. Thanks
Amazing Tom on camera 👍🏼
Hope to have a mill similar to yours and time to make use of it one day. Nice set up ! Thanks for having us along, Mike
I definitely don’t see Melissa helping out with that. Waaaaaay too much stacking precision.😂
They have a knock down drag out fight every time she helps make them and doesn't do it the
way Mike does it.
They said so.
We don't need a divorce at the Morgan compound😂
Mowed three times already here in central Missouri. Will be running our mill the next 3 days on some cedar 4x4's and some 3/4 siding. Keep the videos coming.
Where are you there in central Mo? I’m curious if our logger might have sold you some of our logs. He’s in Weaubleau.
We cut all our logs ourselves.
I have seen a change in your music selection for each section of your videos. It's spot on! It adds so much to your videos. You truly are a professional youtube creator! Great job!
"....when stacking lumber, I am pretty particular about it" 😂😂 you're viewers/fans know that's true with EVERYTHING you do Mr Morgan! That's why we watch. You're the best Mike. Don't change. Stay healthy, stay safe. Steve in Calgary
Morning Mike, another great video and just got to love how you and Levi / family work together. I was a little late this morning watching your video as I got caught up in that Baltimore Key bridge collapse. What a tragedy for all those impacted. We can only pray for the best :( Have a blessed day ..
I hope your oak stickers won't stain the pine boards. Oak farm firewood showed how his oak firewood, stored outside in toads, stained his new concrete pads because the tannins in the oak washed out of the wood. Keeping the stack dry and inside may be the remedy for that I hope.
In order to insure you have consistency in your sticker placement you could make a template that you use over and over to lineup the the next sticker. You could have perfect alignment blindfolded.
I really appreciate this channel. Thank you Morgan family.
I've no idea at all if you watch them. I'm not promoting another channel on yours, but I want to make sure you know about Woodmizers auto log loader. You can load 12 or so logs onto it. Control it at your controls. With Levi helping you, you could put a chair at your controls! See it in operation at Log Capitol Lumber Yard. The boss, dad, bought a new L70 wide for his two daughters, Emerald and Jade to operate. Adding that to your mill would make it easier and more efficient. What you said about stacking the boards makes perfect sense. Why go through all the time and effort to end up w a bunch of warped boards?! There's an old saying for that, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right." There's nothing wrong w perfection. As always, you just gave us another great video! Thank you.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike, I am not a critic or telling you "I think" .... those two words irritate me and figure it would you as well. I am talking about having a lot of wain to trim off. A man of many years of lumbering taught me to only go a quarter turn... a ninety degree as to the one eighty turn the log. After that continue as said, a quarter at a time. What I found was a lot less trimming of wain on one side. I will not in any way try to say your way is wrong, I watched you take training to saw with this mill and you know more now than I probably ever learned.... Just a thought Mike, you might enjoy a different way and its all in experimenting the different ways people have milled wood. I enjoy seeing your progress as your much more comfortable now with the new saw system you have. Please understand that my thoughts are just sharing my experience with milling
Mike you have worked hard to achieve the ability to do what you love and have the benefit of involving your family. God Bless
Love the way you stack. Stickers at the end or very close to the end are very important to prevent cracking. Cheers.
Morning Mike.... nicer weather here
Pete 🇨🇦
Hi Pete! You are second today! 🍩🍩
Good morning Pete 😸
@badcat4707 morning BadCat, I'm liking this warmer weather....
Good morning, light rain here today
@@fixinanddoinstuff2134 Hi, where are you from?
Great stuff always good, thanks
The skid loader is a beast. That stack of lumber is not a problem.
👍👍👍👍👍👌Great production and teamwork on the mill!!!
I looked up red pine, and supposedly, it's stronger than white pine.its good for structural members and used in making log cabins debarked. Said it's no good for painting, but I imagine staining will be fine.
Yellow pine is stronger than red pine.
The coloring on the Tom's is neat!. Those pine boards are nice and your stocked up to load your new kiln!.
Gobblers are so beautiful when they strut that way. Turkey season in Ky starts
April 13th. If the Good Lord is willin and the creeks don’t rise I’ll be in the woods that morning before daylight…
Awesome as always! Thank you Sir!
Hi Mike.
You spoke awhile back about closing in the pavilion and stated you were not sure about walls because you were not sure how you wanted to store your equipment.
That got me thinking, why not do a wall of sliding doors across the long side given access to each bay and the end wall for the saw mill. Then do a solid wall across the back. Then the end where the bunker is, leave open and extend the roof to cover your conveyor and the wood bunk. That would keep you, your equipment and the split wood out of the weather.
Mike, just watched a video about GW's Mount Vernon home. It was built all out of white pine. Thought of you with all that inventory.
Its a bit cooler here this week as well. I like it because our turkey season opens on the 11th and i hope this cooler weather slows things down. Im pretty excited about it. Stay safe everybody
Looks good Mike. Stay safe.
great job, MIKE, as usual......HOPE you don't have to pick up and move...!!!
Great video!
Thanks Mike!😍
That sure was a lot of nice lumber you sawed. Great video. 👍❤️
When running your second cut through sawlog you should cut it 1.5 inches or 2 inches thick, and when you cut live edge off you can make those pieces into 2x4 or 1.5 x 3.75 for building
Good Morning Mike, Hi Hunter, Miss seeing Melissa, (must be doing some Grandma stuff). Great job on the lumber! When it's not raining we have to cut grass down here (sunshine 1 or 2 days - rain - grass grows - cut grass rinse and repeat) Have a blessed day! John Toccoa GA
Beautiful pile of Pine. Here in Uzebeckasota, little town 1500 peeps, I had to get a conditional use permit to run my sawmill.
Good morning. How about using a chalk line? With a calibrated eye.
Morning Hunter. Have a good day everybody.
I had the same thoughts myself when I saw the title from the last video. But you definitely have the right pkan if things do change. I'm wondering if as the housing project next to you could be a future point of contention in the next few years. Hopefully it will not, but you never know. Stay safe! Stay warm, as the snow is already flying where you are at.
Hi Mike enjoy your videos does your son Levi know how to use all of your equipment? we never see him in any working videos
That certainly is nice looking red pine, looking forward to see what you build with it.
Have a Spring Mike, really enjoyed the video today Mike, thank you!
Beautiful stack of 4 quarter boards 👍.
Beautifully stacked lumber. I'm a music man and in today's world we record both music and video to computers and I'm just as compulsive with my files. I have about 10 external drives, most of them SSD's that I keep my files sorted and saved on. Now the rest of my life .......... lol!
Nice work Mike!
Thanks for more entertainment at coffe with my veteran friends
Nice work!👍
Nice Vid!
Good morning y'all!!! A big hello from beautiful British Columbia, it's 2.3C outside, and the ice is starting to come off the lakes.
I enjoyed this video very much! It is a cold damp morning here Kansa City. KC Don 😉
VERY nice stack there Mike. I'm very "particular" too. Doing it wrong at that point could potentially ruin all the work already done. Long term thinking!
I'm curious to see if the Oak stickers will stain the Pine. Time will tell.
Raining here today, so the plan is to give the saw a couple new filters and a spark plug.
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸 and family and friends 😸😺🙏
Hi BadCat! 😸
Good morning friends
@@davidmorse8432 / good morning David 👍🙏😸

Howdy fellas!
Mike. You are the Chairman of the Board.
…….
As he keeps lumbering on.. :)))
Love the saw mill back when I was a young fellow I worked for a saw mill in Northern Maine. The mill was a new state of the art mill we ran 2 ten hour shifts and put out about 180 thousand board feet a day. It was a impressive experience
Great video,
Thanks for sharing. Take care, all the best, & God bless.
Sincerely,
✝️🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊🌊⛴🌊🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻♂️
I like how your son works thinking ahead keeping himself busy
I have to say Mike, we may not agree on wood that should go to the burn pit. But, we are borderline anil retentive when it comes to making any kind of stacked material.👍 Good work 🍻🇺🇸
Hey Mike, why do you band the stickered pile if it’s relatively green? Guessing it helps from warping?
Yes, it helps with warping - you can also add weight to the top. Banding also helps it stay in place when you need to move it. Banding often needs to be tightened as the lumber dries and shrinks.
You should look into getting a used edger to quickly take care of those second cuts with bark on. Will save you a lot of rework and handling.
"When I'm stacking lumber I'm pretty particular about it." - Mike Morgan
Reeeeally, figured you'd just throw it together haphazardly like everything else Mike. 😂😂
Mike, I was thinking 🤔 Lots of people save those edgings from the logs and then strip the bark off and then use for siding to give that log cabin look to their buildings. A log cabin type chicken coup, or woodshed might look pretty good? Peace and blessings. 🙏😇
I noticed the absence of Melissa for proper stacking/stickering distance - hehehe
Our 45 turkeys here in North Idaho are doing the same as yours, our weather has also turned colder for about 5 days, then will warm up into the 50s again. Hope you all have a great day!
I love Idaho, it’s weird I live in Pa but my two favorite States are Idaho and West Virginia
Love your videos! Wondering if you’ll ever get a sawdust collector hooked up to mill? Keep up great work!
NICE PLAN MIKE! SELL EVERYTHING!
Stacking lumber.....Mike Morgan 's "Zen"!
Good evening from Upstate South Carolina. Your sawmill needs a cab. Nice turkey. Have another productive day.
BTW, Mike, that stack of red pine weighs about 2000 lbs as it sits.
That stack of lumber is so satisfactory to look at, Mr. meticulous Mike! I'm the same way, however, I was tempted to be a wisecrack and say the same thing that Melissa said about the burgers last year, "Just throw them on there, Mike!"
I want to say 300 an some video Melissa said i can't sticker wood with you cause your that persist 👍
HI MIKE 😊😊 it was the same way here last week last Friday 😮😮 it was still after 11AM I turned myself around and went back inside the house 🏡 😊 I say it would just have 2 wait 4 a better day than what it was U need a good pair of coveralls 2 put on when it's cold like that 2 stay warm outside 😊😊 I myself have done got tired 😴 😊 of the sorry cold weather and I have had enough of it specially when U have outside work 2 do outside U have 2 wait 4 it 2 warm up 😮😮 / mike the turkeys look good I don't what they are eating there are no crickets 🦗 😊 or grasshoppers out I have seen a few honey 🍯 😊 bees and bumble bees and the other yellow flowers 💐 😊 buttercup s they have been out over a month ago 😊😅🎉😂❤ 😊/❤😂🎉😊🎉😊 OMG 3 26 2O24
Leaves come back all noise and echoing will drop dramatically 👍
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
I was always told by the German cabinet makers at a shop we worked at that stickers should be the same species as the wood being stacked otherwise you’ll end up with sticker stains on the wood.
When are we going to see the workshop side of the new building?
Great Video
hi there stay worm ,here i am zoned ag so things are ok best to all john
