It's really quite a treat watching your videos !! I've been following you for some months now and I thoroughly enjoy them all !! Keep up the good work, brother and may the good Lord continue to bless you and your growing family !!
You could do with some of those rollers on your stops like the ones on the LT15, turning logs would be much easier! That Cedar is gorgeous, it is one of my favourites!
I bet that Cedar smelled good also pretty stuff. Saw wood all morning have Chicken for lunch. The ole Chicken was probably looking for a worm or bug that fell off the log...Nice video, thanks..
Have seen others using a basic hand cranked winch, like on a boat trailer, clamped to the side of the wood mizer and the cable around the log just to pull it up and on. Looked simple and much safer than the way you were doing it.
I just looked up one of these Wood Mizer. It is pretty ridiculous when you are paying in the 600 dollar range for a miter saw and for 3k you get this. Its a bargain if you ask me! I grew up with us owning a regular saw mill. This little unit although slow compared to what we had is fantastic for the serious hobbyist Fascinating!
As a wood turner, I'd love to see you do your initial trim cut to create a 2-3" flat and then do your next cut. The amount of wood you are trimming away would feed a starving wood turner for weeks, lol. Love your channel, keep up the good work. My son is a fellow Woodmizer owner. jc
Largest cedar on my dad's alottment was 22' accross. It took a week to fall and buck it in slabs with a two man saw with 12' bar. Could only yard 12' slabs 24' long. In 1958.
Nice log! Also, if you have two guys, each throw a six foot nylon tow strap under each end, stand upright holding the straps, lift slightly and both pull harder on one side. The log will roll/turn quite easily.
Biggest log ever on the smallest woodmizer LT10 ever ... wow surprised you all started out running that monster log ⚠️all most sawed it down to fence post size 👍 oh maybe I spoke to soon???
That was real pretty cedar and great job. They was a couple of those slabs though you should put on the mill you could get a couple of 8' boards ot of them. Cedar of that quality it wouuld be worth the trouble.
Fall Line Ridge good because that was some very fine valuable wood. The kind you want to get every board foot possible. You just dont see much of that at least not in my area. We have alot of cedar just not that kind of quality. Great job on the sawing though.
I would love to see the canoe when he finishes it. It will be awesome and archeologist will find it 10,000 yrs from now and marvel at how sound it still is. Beautiful wood....must have smelled pretty awesome too.
That's the same thing I was thinking and I'm sure he's known the wood for them because they got the trailer ready for him tell him to go buy that at Home Depot...
And another thing is why weren't they picking up the wood that he already cut that's making more strain on his bleed... Some people are just worthless nowadays... even if they were paying for the board's you're not paying the same price you would at a regular retail store at all....
I've had "helpers" like that. Much of the time they're just in the way and/or run the risk of injuring themselves or you. The gloveless guy in the shorts and tennis shoes wasn't really properly attired either.
May be a simple question but when you cut, do you account for shrinkage as it drys? Do you saw it at 5/4 to get dried 4/4? I realize it is species dependant but for the most part does oak, pine, cherry, etc shrink much? Thanks!
How often you check the saw bed for level ? Cedar saw dust is great for pet bedding, & other uses....bugs hate cedar. Fantastic looking boards, worth their weight in gold !
william Crooker Not often...it’s on a temporary mount until I get around to building the shed around it. Yes, cedar is gorgeous wood. Thanks for watching!
The video was well edited and quite interesting to watch. However, the sawing may have been fun at first, but I would bet that along about now, you are beginning or already have, come to realize why the vast majority of people who purchase portable sawmills for profit sawing, spend the extra money and purchase the much larger, more powerful and more mechanized, hydraulically operated sawmills. In watching various sizes of name brand portable sawmills in action, it is obvious to me, that the Wood Mizer L10 and other sawmills of that size, were never designed for use as a business sawmill. The personal energy needed and expended in operating the mill, plus the number of extra hands required to load logs onto the mills bed and move slabs after cutting, etc. as well as, the time it takes to cut each lumber slab or board, aptly denotes that sawmills of this size are mostly meant for personal use and not as a continuous use, for profit sawmill.
Fall line ridge ...you need to put those boys to work to help you stack that wood...if they went to the box stores (home Depot) they would be paying alot more...charge the young boy for taking pictures or the chickens...lol..but you do good work...ask for some what good money ... keep up with Society red cedar is not cheap....
I think that is the most durable outside wood that you could ever get... Maybe besides White Cedar not sure of that... But myself red cedar has a nicer green looks very more prettier than any cedar...
If you never raise up the small end of your logs, so that the PITH, or the center of the log is level at the same height, you will never get the right amount of lumber out of your logs. You will just be wasting a lot of good unused lumber.
I don't know much about sawing, but aren't many people cutting very thick slabs? Looks like you could get an extra 1 x 4 or 1x6 out of some of them. Just asking??
get a small tire no rim like or a "donut tire with a rim " 'what I use' " and put it on the opposite end and on the the side you are rolling to and roll against it and you can turn a log very easy. If you don't know look in to doing some figure, live edge, bookmark cutting...good money in it.
HI FRENDS i was watching the both of you strugleing to position that log and i seen a tractor in the background and that will save the both of you back pain in the future if you use it on my farm i take the front tire of my tractor to manuver it in position by pushing it with the tractor you would be suprised how easy it works and while pushing the log you can turn the wheels or wheel to move it where you want go slow and the tire may give abit while pushing but it wont hurt anything i dont want to sound like a SMART ASS but i do it all the time and it does work i just was trying maybe to help anyway GODBLESS larry
numptyjames1 It has a set of wipes that run in front of the wheels to clear sawdust from the track...so it doesn’t affect the cut at all. Thanks for watching!
I think head of your mill touch the log in second cut. And you stopped the engine. How did you manage to cut it later? That is missing in the video. Could you tell me the maximum circumference of log woodmizer lt15 can cut?
Kamal Tamang You are correct! I had to work on the log with a chainsaw before the mill would go through. I think the LT15 can do a 28” log, but mine is an LT10 and it can handle 24”.
Thanks for reply. I'm from Nepal and not seen this type of machine here. We are using traditional bandsaw machine for sawing log. I'm interested in woodmizer machine. Let me know where are you from. When did you buy lt 10 @ what price? Also tell me something about maintenance cost of this machine. Thank you again.
Kamal Tamang We live in the US. The LT10 costs $3,995 here. It has been very low maintenance so far. I keep the oil changed, but aside from that there hasn’t been any serious maintenance since I’ve had it. I have been using it for about 5 months. I just sent a batch of blades away to Wood Mizer to be sharpened. It costs $7 per blade for sharpening.
Thanks for reply. We have to make 2"×2" lumber. Is this machine useful to produce this size? Most of woodmizer video is showing production of boards and square cants. Sometime I think woodmizer is useful only make planks from log and we need other machine to size the plank as per our requirement. Also don't you owe blade sharpening machine and blade joining machine?
Kamal Tamang This machine can definitely produce 2” x 2” lumber. In fact, you could cut multiple slabs 2” thick, then stand them on the end and make multiple 2” x 2” pieces at a time. It will cut a maximum width of 19”, so you could potentially make 9 pieces per pass once your slabs were in place. No, unfortunately I do not have blade sharpening equipment.
It's really quite a treat watching your videos !! I've been following you for some months now and I thoroughly enjoy them all !! Keep up the good work, brother and may the good Lord continue to bless you and your growing family !!

Looked like it must be underpowered after watching so many of your LT 15 videos.
great video man. at some point i saw the lt10 strugling with the log but it won the battle. wish we had this beautiful
wood here. thanks for sharing.
Man, you cut some awesome stuff
Amazing work for a little Mizer 10!👍👍👍👍👍👍
I bet that Cedar smelled good also pretty stuff. Saw wood all morning have Chicken for lunch. The ole Chicken was probably looking for a worm or bug that fell off the log...Nice video, thanks..

Cedar is one of the most beautiful of all the different wood to build with.
Wow, the grain is so beautiful.
I really enjoy your videos brother! It’s amazing what beauty lies within the heart of a tree!
Yes it is! I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for the support!

Is the guy who has a ball cap on, is he your labor?
Imagine marrying 2 slabs together and making an 18 foot banquet table!

perfect boards for a dry cedar sauna! or a walk-in closet for storing woolens.

Love the Red Cedar it smells so good and looks even better
not been saw very long have you young one...lol you got a lot to learn ..just keep on keeping on...an use you tractor not your back..
Nice log . The weather is warming up there too. Been in the 80s already here in Ga.
Jerry Little I’m in GA as well, the weather has been great! Hope it holds out.
Oh MAN, I can smell it from HERE! (Bellingham, WA)
It's wonderful stuff, from lumber to scent.
Pretty wood.i bought some last year n started making small stuff.
That top slab can be used to make a couple of oblong bowls for someone who knows how to do it.
I bet the whole area smells great after cutting that log!
That looks like a dawn redwood. I've never seen an eastern cedar that large.
Biggest log ever on the smallest woodmizer LT10 ever ... wow surprised you all started out running that monster log ⚠️all most sawed it down to fence post size 👍 oh maybe I spoke to soon???
my sister is watching x factor right now. i rather listen to the sawmill thru my headphones. i bet i'm not the only one, given the choice. :D
has anyone ever compared machine noises to score which one sounds the nicest?
That was real pretty cedar and great job. They was a couple of those slabs though you should put on the mill you could get a couple of 8' boards ot of them. Cedar of that quality it wouuld be worth the trouble.
Ken Jett Those slabs definitely won’t be going to waste.

I would love to see the canoe when he finishes it. It will be awesome and archeologist will find it 10,000 yrs from now and marvel at how sound it still is. Beautiful wood....must have smelled pretty awesome too.
That's a huge log for that engine. Rolking logs by hand makes one wish the hydraulic mills were not so expensive.
Jeffrey Beyer Amen to that.
That Eastern Red Cedar is sure pretty! I wish I could get my hands on some out here in Oregon!
You have western red cedar and sequoia though lol
But! But! I want Eastern Red Cedar!
lol, I can hook you up but the shipping is going to be.... unreal lmao

Cool... two years on, any update on the canoe? Do a short clip to share the progress or completion status? Thanks!
Check cedar msds for ppe requirements. Great content
How often you check the saw bed for level ? Cedar saw dust is great for pet bedding, & other uses....bugs hate cedar. Fantastic looking boards, worth their weight in gold !

I can almost smell that sawdust!

pretty red sawdust would make some nice garden mulch.
Actually, no. Cedar is quite toxic. That is why it doesn't rot. Check cedar msds for required ppe to use to protect yourself.
Fall line ridge ...you need to put those boys to work to help you stack that wood...if they went to the box stores (home Depot) they would be paying alot more...charge the young boy for taking pictures or the chickens...lol..but you do good work...ask for some what good money ... keep up with Society red cedar is not cheap....
Gorgeous colors and grain.
Would love to have it on my floors. 😊
I would like to find some if that cedar in 6 inch thick boards to cut in to turning blanks,i,m a turner....it's a briddle wood, but it's pretty.
No corté más de una tabla para no dañar la sierra por el peso de las tablas ya cortadas
I think that is the most durable outside wood that you could ever get... Maybe besides White Cedar not sure of that... But myself red cedar has a nicer green looks very more prettier than any cedar...
Is that the aromatic red cedar? I can only imagine how freaking awesome it smelled while you were milling!
Yes it is! Beautiful smelling wood.
welcome
beautiful lumber all most more than the mill cause hndler
Charles McClain It was definitely a struggle for man and machine.
You should put the Wood Mizer up for your comfort.
If you never raise up the small end of your logs, so that the PITH, or the center of the log is level at the same height, you will never get the right amount of lumber out of your logs. You will just be wasting a lot of good unused lumber.
Why couldn't you put a couple of eyelets on that frame and hook a wench with a remote to it?
I don't know much about sawing, but aren't many people cutting very thick slabs? Looks like you could get an extra 1 x 4 or 1x6 out of some of them. Just asking??
get a small tire no rim like or a "donut tire with a rim " 'what I use' " and put it on the opposite end and on the the side you are rolling to and roll against it and you can turn a log very easy. If you don't know look in to doing some figure, live edge, bookmark cutting...good money in it.
Steven Sargent Great idea! Thanks!
After looking at a close up of your saw, it looks like it may not be adjustable. Is that correct?
I noticed your blade guide arm is to far away from the log in some of your videos. Hope this helps.
That isWOW
So what kind of $$ would one of those planks bring?
Don't you get a feeling you working ALONE
That guy in the white T shirt dont know to make a "Hand", he cant put his phone down long enough to watch to see if you need help.
Not the sharpest tacks in the box, but this would be a great video for justifying a LT 35 or 40 !!!!!!!!
Haha! I can agree with that.
el de gorrita tiene una cara de cansado que ni te cuento!!
Does the grapple on the tractor not swivel? Or is there another reason for not using a tractor to do the heavy lifting.
Micheal Reid The log was too heavy for what I felt comfortable letting the tractor do. It can lift the ends, but it’s not able to lift the whole log.
Okay no forks on the tractor then okay was just a wonder was all.
Micheal Reid No forks, just that boom pole on the back. Thanks for the comment!
Is this Kohler 7hp?
Luego boy a subir un vídeo para que miren como trabajamos
I just wont say anything that you other people are thinking.Jeff Daniels & Tim Carrie come to mind watching this vid.
I believe that was Jim Carrey. Thanks for watching!
on only an LT10!
U got eye, nose, and ear protectors?

Larry Kamphaus Thanks for the comment and the sub!
And another thing why are they picking up the wood that he already cut that makes train on his blade
Helpers?
why is he cutting the wood so slowly ???
To keep from burning the blade and the wood.
Yall live in the piedmont region or coastal plain ? East or West of fall line? Brother lives in Forsyth.
Jerry Little We live just about on top of the fall line.
That isn't canoe wood that's furniture wood or cabinet wood
Huge waste already in the first cuts. Advise: correct the log vertically (by a clamp) before sawing.
The radio on your hip. 2 meter?
Mountain Crest Farm Not sure. It’s for the local volunteer fire dept.
Ah...OK. Its probably not 2 meter. Most or all of that is Ham frequencies.
Are you in Georgia?
Where yall located.

if your going to make a canoe ,,, shouldn't that been quarter sawn??
