Video

Generally, I use the blade as the metal detector. It ALWAYS works; if there's no metal it tells me and if there IS metal it let's me know also.

He has a kiln. Then sells the lumber online.

Yes it is Sue. I told you the video was coming.

Thanks Paul. Milling boards like these is what makes running the mill so much fun.

Thanks Paul. I'll call later.

I'm one who also loves character in lumber. I can appreciate nice, clear lumber but it just doesn't grab my eye when I see it. Dave

If you ever want to revisit a toxic work environment give me a call. I can supply one. Dave

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw 🤣 I learned some great skills there. It wasn't bad when I first went there, but the owner passed it to his daughter and son-in-law who let everything go downhill.

Paul, you're the only one who will catch that; and you're EXACTLY right. I also do dogs and bunnies.

Thanks Paul. It felt REALLY good.

@@suemoore1965 Now...........wasn't it more entertaining than just watching? Dave

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw I always enjoy your videos. Usually you post them at 1 am Michigan time. This one you posted at a normal time. This damn weather is draining my funny bone.

@@suemoore1965 The problem, Sue, is that I'm VERY behind in my videos. I usually have up to a month queued for release but I've been so busy that queue went down to ZERO!!. This video was uploaded immediately after I finished editing it. That's why it was posted at "normal time. There's a new video that I just finished 1 minute ago that will be uploaded when I finish this comment. STAY TUNED SUE!!

Just the opposite!. Trying to finish a house we're renovating. Planning on going to Matt's on Friday to mill some logs. Hope to have a new video out as soon as Sunday. Thanks for noticing.

Yes, that's possible.

Thanks Paul. Wondering how many others are familiar with that number.

I have LOTS of patience............as long as it doesn't take too long.

Great catch! You're paying attention. I prefer to see what's inside a log before I arbitrarily select and remove a "bad" area. Dave

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw boxing the heart is when you saw for grade. Always chosing the best face. You live sawed it which does not yield as high grade of material. It puts the heart through the center of the boards.

First of all Sue EVERYTHING I do is manly........at least that's what I tell people. The 4 degree blade (4/34) just can't cut as fast as the Turbo 7 blade (7/39) I usually use. It's all in the profile design. The Turbo 7 blade cuts faster but has a tendency to leave chatter marks in the board if it's not run fast enough. In the end, most rough cut hardwood lumber will be processed further which should remove all surface defects so, I guess, chatter marks are not a big deal.

Thanks Sue. I learned a long time ago that a sense of humor is a great distraction to a lack of ability.

I use a 12" drywall knife to remove the sawdust. Much faster than a brush.

Smooooth but slooooow.

Thanks Paul. He sure knows how to buy them.

I'm very sorry to hear that you have unsubscribed. This video is the last one with the full-time inset. The inset was something I wanted to try and it didn't work out. I also found it distracting. Give the channel another shot. Dave the Sorry

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw Dave, since you will no longer use the insert in your videos, I will give your channel another shot. Take care and be safe, Henry Milan

@@henrymilan4702 Thanks Henry. There WILL be short times when I use inserts but NOT the all-the-time-annoying-kind of insert. It sounded like a good idea at the time; kind of like peeing on an electric fence when you're younger.

Thanks Paul. Matt gets some fantastic logs.

Thanks George. I prefer to see the wood grain and assume most people do also.

See Paul? I don't ALWAYS make mistakes. Just most of the time.

Thanks Andy. It's very beautiful wood and deserves to be center stage.

That's a very negative comment Dave. Dave

Yes there was. Milling a nice cherry makes my day.

There wasn't any "on purpose" talking in this video. I don't know why.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom Sue. I hope that the good memories will help. Dave

Looks like the editor wasn't paying attention. Just for you Terry............. "WELCOME BACK ANYONE:

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw Thanks Dave !

Thanks Steve. The rest of the tree did not need to be re-assembled and is now boards.

Any time I cam make someone smile I know that I've done my job.

Thank you. You're one of the few........................the VERY few.

You didn't hear it but it was there. The message was "Make a comment with a smiley face". As you can see. it worked. I'm going to try another subliminal message right here...........SEND DAVE LOTS OF MONEY........

Thanks Paul. Most people agree that I AM different.

Not on the stump. The "lob" was a branch and Matt wanted the rest of the tree. Go figure.

Thank you Sue!

Thanks George. I will take great pleasure in telling Matt what you said.

Thanks Paul. It's easy to get great lumber out of a great log.

Thanks Paul. I'll check the guide wheel; it looks crooked to me too!

I checked the guide and it's OK. I think that the video is opti-delusional.

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw That's good! I find video also adds a few inches to my belly size...very opti-delusional 🤣

Thanks for the comment. No need to check with WM. My hydraulics are 100% manual. A switch and indicator light would be a great idea though. Dave

Thanks Brent. I didn't want that blade any more anyway.

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw I thought it was a law of nature. Only a new band could hit metal. Brent

@@lugtugsawmill4725 It IS a law; I guess the blade didn't read that part.

It would, if I used it. I just bought a good detector and it's in the shop. I'm thinking you actually have to USE them for them to work. Dave

Thanks John. One less blade to re-sharpen.

Yes, but not deep enough.

Now, if they could make the hydraulic kind.
