High Lumber Prices Got You Down? You Need A Portable Sawmill

- How to cut lumber yourself. With the price of lumber, you need a sawmill. Old growth southern yellow pine on the sawmill! We used our OS23 Portable Sawmill by Frontier Sawmills to started our logs to lumber journey setting up the mill and doing the prep work for the wood. I am finding, it is more important to set up the mill, cut stickers, and set a drying base, than it is to cut lumber. Once it is cut, the lumber needs a place to go. This is how we do it.
P.S. We would not be able to do this without the hydraulics of the the TYM T474 by TYM Tractors. What a beast.
The basic steps of sawmilling on the go.

I love to see people turning old trees or logs into lumber instead of firewood.
Another 6 months on the ground untreated, and these logs will have started to rot. They are going to turn out some amazing lumber.
what ever happened to the will it start videos
Good day to both of you 👍😉 That is a great sawmill action video with great helpers too 💪👍😉 Great lady tractor driver 😉👍 Please take care of your back 👍🙏👌 Cheers !!!
I will be out of a job before your know it.
@@TonysTractorAdventure 🤣😉👍 You have great helper for sure Sir Cheers !!!
Another great sawmill video. I am looking to get a Woodlands to carve up my trees. Guys like you are the motivating factor.
It is exciting work.
Center the Pith on each end same distance from the Bed.
You got some good help. 👍🇺🇸
I need to come up with some type of lift. We had a good day. The weather is going to dry out a bit. Hope to start up again tomorrow.
@@TonysTractorAdventure you could build a load table to pull up beside your mill with one ram to flip the log right onto the mill... n put to rams under your mill one small one for your stops to go up n down to adjust with one lever and another ram with say a part of a saw blade to flip the log for ya under it as well... u could do it with a four way valve and one pump and a lawn mower motor 10 hp to run it... to save your back n your tractor... im looking into this mill and lol my age for my own projects i cant take the twisting n torqueing of my own body after 30 yrs of heavy haul.. but i really do enjoy your video here and I really like this mill... thank you for sharing...
I have started using the tractor to turn the logs. I may end up buying another sawmill. I am finding, I am being offered many large trees. Most don't want money. They just want the tree gone.
Love watching you work, Tony. Got a little advice for you on working the tractor hydraulics. try to keep your arm resting on the fender or something else and use your wrist, or fingers to work the controls for the arms and the grapple, or bucket, or whatever you're operating. That will make the operation a lot smoother. Experience, my friend. You have a blessed day, Sir.
I appreciate you experience. Thank you and have a great weekend. Snow here.
Ms Jody did a fine job great video buddy thanks
She did great. She would have done it all. I had to have a little fun too.
why is it so gratifying to watch people cut logs into wood planks for 25 minutes????
It is even more fun to do it in person.😁😁😇
Those were some fine looking boards you all milled. Especially the two inch lumber, as well as the 1".
Thank you. We are having a blast.
That’s a lot of great work. I know she felt proud because she helped create that awesome lumber. Keep up the superb videos Tony and God Bless.
Thank you my friend. Heading out tomorrow for another round.
Great job Miss Jodi, Tony & Tonya!
Interesting and relaxing to watch--from where I sat.😉
Great to actually see a *giving tree* in action!
Thank you. I like the fact, if a tree has to come down, it is not wasted. We have used several storm damaged trees also. Thank you for watching.
I'll bet your loving the results after installing the new log stops and log dogs. The more stable the log is on the bunk , the better the cut. Your really going to love having the cam dog. Hope the back feels better soon.
I can already tell it is easier to operate. Can't wait to get back out there.
Good work guys! Yep, this rain and thunderstorms is coming in now. I've been sheltering all day. Pine is some of the best wood for building, although the resin is obviously very sticky.
We are getting hammered with storms. Going back out tomorrow..
Another Great one Tony & Tonya!
Thank you my friend. Can't wait until we get back out there.
"adictive"? Is that why I even dream about cutting lumber on our new Woodland Mills 126? You nailed that for sure👍😎👌
I enjoy seeing the fresh lumber cut in front of me and cutting this evening if all goes well.
Thanks for all the info, a lot of credit goes to you that I'm ordering the same mill. I would like to suggest not using the impact diver on the jacks as the on/off action will damage the threads eventually. You would have the same results with a drill set on low torque using the clutch feature. Thanks again for all the valuable info!
Thank you. The jacks are hold up well. I have done an engine upgrade on the sawmill. It is a beast!
I see we have a lot in common with the forgetfulness, it happens. Great video
I can't wait to get back out there
NICE TONY... I THINK YOU'RE A GOOD TEACHER! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA MILL FOR YOURSELF??? SEE YA ON THE NEXT ONE... PEACE...
I will mill 2x4s mostly . I need a bunch for the trusses on the barn. See you next one.
Great vids 👍🏻
Thank you my friend
I've seen videos where they put purple power in water mix sawing pine to help with resin. Didn't know if you had seen it to.
I have not heard that. The pine oil did well. I had no problem to this point.
TNT LUMBER CO. Just a thought. Awesome video.
Thank you my friend.
You see many Wood Mizers and woodlands mills but your Frontier seems equal to the task,,
The Woodland Mills and the Frontier are very close to the same sawmill with slight variations. My sawmill does what it says it will do. I am reasonably happy with it.
I think I like the saw mills on the trailer better than those that sit on the ground. Good video, great information. Is the sawdust coming out of the chute wet, or dry?
It is much easier on the back working at this height.
Tony your a lucky man be able to have two women working with you how do you it my friend ? Lol
They are both tougher than me too. Lucky man.
Tony, Love the videos! I am thinking of replacing my NH TC29. I came across your videos looking for info on the T474. Due to the cold northeast winters I am thinking about a cab. BUT on the fence, between the added cost and the fact I am rough on my tractor. I have definitely been in tight places in between trees in the woods. What are your thoughts on cab vs no cab?
We have super hot days, but cabs will not take the woods ( any brand) It will be just a matter of time before the glass or the cover is damaged in my case. If it was primarily a field tractor, then yes. For the woods like we will do, then no on a cab.
Did you install the jacks under the bed of the sawmill yourself. I don't see that option on the Frontier website
I built my trailer. The jacks are travel trailer leveling jacks. Heavy built.
Good job....Looks to be a good mill but could use some diy hydraulics to make your life a lil easier... It wouldnt be hard to do... Even a log loader for it... Seems to be a good mill for the price though...
I don't need a log loader. I have a tractor. 😁 a hydraulic log turner would be nice. I have started turning the big logs with the tractor. I think I have under bought the mill. We may look at a bigger mill.
Hey chief why not make those back supports pneumatic it’d be simple todo
I would need an air source, but it could be done with time.
Get a small pancake air compressor and if I’m not mistaken you have a 120v plug on your truck correct
Nothing that will handle that kind of amps. I have some ideas.
sawmill would be great if the wood for structual did not have to be graded
Depends on where you live. Never seen any inspector, ever, on a build site looking for a stamp. People have been building with sawmill lumber for years here. Let's be honest. Does the stamp really mean anything anymore. I go to the box stores and look at bundles of so call "stamped lumber" that I would not put in a pig pen. I will take my quality any day of the week.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I totally agree with you, framing wood buildings for 50 yrs, have seen terrible junk....but every inspecter i have ever known looks for the stamp....and was personally told i can not use it.....could be fined or have it tore down or both.....so we will see...i have cut what i need and im building soon
Tennessee, at least in the rural counties, do not have building inspectors, only electric inspectors.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I am in Canada, Northern Ontario
Canada is such a beautiful country. God Bless
Tony...you may wind up BEHIND the camera and be replaced by 2 good looking women. Better be careful!!!!
Could be my friend. They are learning the ropes fast.
