Old school. Clean the saw bed by running more wood through it. If it works, it works.

Good video!

Proper management. Alder takes nitrogen from the air and puts it back into soil. If one pulls up a small alder tree it has the nodules on roots that pea plants and other luguminosa plants have. Big industry timber still wages the war on alder and chooses aerial fertilization.

I need a yule log 4"x4 foot I'll pay postage

Take sawdust and make presto logs?

Nice slabs

You might be paying Fred in gold!😊

Jason do you take all your s rap home?😊

No way

Who is the S in S & J in wood working?

I learn something from you about every day man, thank you. Have you ever seen the method of cutting down a tree that leaves like a hinge in the center? I wish I could remember that channel name. I know they work out near Charolette NC. I was very impressed by it. The fall is dead accurate every single time. Takes a little more work but if you are in a tight spot seemed well worth the effort. Let me know if you want me to try to find it for ya. Again thank you for sharing your wisdom with us from mining to lumber. The info you are recording is supper important for generations to come. A lot of this knowledge is getting lost and that’s a bad thing in my view. If the world goes sideways in a bad way people will be so thankful to have your experiences shared with them. Young folks watch and learn! This kinda stuff you don’t find often.

I am so confused. I see Jason from mbmm, but he is talking about trees. I will just assume the wood is very important to the process of mining gold.

Then the worker bees go to work.

Do not move qui k and you may not get stung!❤

Are they honey filled?

Clamp the wood down on the drill press.

Beautiful slab

For falling I used to use a skip a tooth chain I had lot great falls. That was far Iwent.

Jesus. With that sort of mark up, it'd be cheaper to sell them direct to consumers.

I hate when a tree does a 180 on the stump.😊

Are bring the broke top in for firewood?

I’ve done work checkers , working with long line. I think that is the right name. Been 20 years.

Jason, I like person who has jack of all trades master of some. As for I had Army, EMTII, 4-H leader, taught people how cook and bake who could not read.😊

As on there bunch videos I have not seen.😊

Good you have great friend,

how can I contact you to buy some logs lol I will pay more than that mill for sure

well done

Jason, dam shame ya got no hardwood on that property, cause with the proper timing/conditions of letting them rot ya produce the spated woods, that bring nice money..💪🪝🏔️👍🤠

we got 2x4's that are $15 dollars each here in ohio... selling a whole tree should be like 100 bucks minimum lol

Beware of saw kickback in certain positions using this. Also because you never know what you might hit within the wood

Also interesting. If you live in the general vicinity of a person like Jason you can have a giant pile of unsellable logs dropped off at your semi-rural house. Then you get to work with your chainsaw.....which can be electric because it's close to your house. Then comes a Harbour Freight 4 ton log splitter which you bought used on Craigslist. In my opinion that's the cheapest way to buy an insane amount of firewood to heat your draughty house in the winter.

Interesting, informative, educational video. Thanks, Jason!

Stressed trees? Must be competing with young trees for water and nutrients, maybe it's time do some thinning out?

Very interesting and informative. You've got a gift explaining how things are done.. Here and mining, etc

When you dropped the tree, it sounded like my favorite movie, sometimes a great notion. Nice video Jason

Learns some about trees. My problem Jason, is when tree is dead standing. How do you tell tamarack, Doug for hemlock. Firewood

BOTH!😂

Would it be worth the money to buy yourself a bandsaw mill similar to Fred's and cut them yourself.

Also such a kick ass video

I’m so glad the chain hit the camera 🤌🤌🤌

How do you market the wood that you mill at Fred’s

Very nice vid Jason. I was a choke setter back in my youth. Working on a helicopter logging crew was an amazing experience. I'm getting tons of memories back, while I enjoy your vid.

I am somewhat amazed that you don't have the option to send the tops and branches to a pulp mill.

Thanks for covering me Bro , now I can build that race car Ive always wanted .

Great info. You did a nice job dropping that one. Any clue what killed it. We have a lot dying here in Michigan .

Great info 👍

Ross at Tecopa Mines would love some of the big ones to rebuild the headframe that was burned down.

In the late 70's early 80's, we would sell our Doug fir as export, much better money. Otherwise the trees were worth more as firewood than saw logs.

Do you ever go in and grind the stumps down to make access easier or just work around all of them? What about all the branches too? Curious if it is all just left to rot naturally or if you clean it up / grind it up and then spread it like mulch?

BURLs.......Would it be worthwhile to take any burls out to the deck ? The knife makers and wood turning guy's usually pay up for burls. just a thought
