Never has "measure twice, cut once" meant so much as when cutting these beautiful old logs!
Great book for a beginner . czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
Always amazed at his ability to figure out how to move stuff. Almost amazed as much with his ability to design and create.
A slab skin sounds like it would be a good idea for living room couch tables.
I saw the workbench for Adam Savage - and I am completely blown away (I want one). Congrats on furnishing the finest raw materials.
For the average woodworker, just making one of these benches would be a life's dream. But you went all the way, milling your own slabs to choose the grain orientation. That's a great bench. I'm very impressed with that circular saw too, by the way. She's a strong one.
Live edges are not stupid they just don't have access to a quality education ( : Love what you do and how ya do it! Thanks for sharing.
Matthew, there are many woodworking videos I enjoy watching but yours are the very best. Knowledgeable and informative, yes, but you have the most down to earth and relatable personality out there. Great video as usual!
Thank you!!
The wood I got is great, Heavy, but that's what neighbors are for. Thanks Matt!
You have some great neighbors
@@mcremona Well, most of them!
Years ago when planning my bench build, I went to the local lumber yard to review material. What I found was a glulam that had been broken during delivery. Got a good deal on an "unusable glulam". When rolled on its side, made a great split bench top.
Hey james was wondering what they charged for the material
There’s making a perfect workbench.
Then there’s preparing the perfect materials to make your perfect work bench.
It’s like you grew it in your garden
Love the fact that you put the metric system even when you talk in hands and feet. first channel to do so i guess :) keep it up
I just love that trailer you used for collecting the log being from the UK we just don't have these types of trailers, made it look very easy to load the logs👍🇬🇧.
He made it himself.
Beautiful beautiful, beautiful. I know they will only be work benches but they are beautiful. Like a FINE piece of furniture!!!!!
I learn so much from your videos Matt. Still learning woodworking, glad I've got your videos. Thanks for sharing. *Chris*
Your skill set as a young man amazes me. I just recently found your channel as a result of interest in portable saw mills. I sat down and watched all your episode's of the band mill build. Amazing fabrication and mill wright work. Keep the good content flowing.
Matthew, thank you so so much for offering captions on your videos. ❤️
Glad they're being used. thanks!

I enjoy watching these videos, I have never done anything that elaborate with wood before, and probably never will, but I sure enjoy watching you turn that big old log into something useful.
I’ll tell you what for a thin wirey dude Matt gets himself around he’s a strapping young man
Pound for pound he puts most to shame what he can do !!!
I made my 400 pound woodworking bench in 1984 while living in the shell of the home we were building. I laminated 2x6 rock hard maple. I chopped the mortises by hand. I have no intention of ever doing that work again. The bench will stay with you for life, as it is too heavy to move.
To heavy to move but if someone had one for you you’d definitely find a way to move it. 😁
That little forklift is the shiznit but you still work pretty hard moving all that heavy stuff. Then you go make crazy nice things out of it with even more hard work....
What can I say; I do what I love
I sure enjoy you using the equipment on these tree trunks. That bobcat like thing must be a gas to drive around.
You've come a long way. From a hobbyist to a cottage industry
thank you!
💪 that skid steer is worth its weight...saves your back. Going to check out Andy video's on the bench for Adam...
Thanks Robert!
That was a very enjoyable and educational video, Matt. It really showed the time and effort that goes into producing these slabs.
Thanks, Steve!
Would love to see these slabs with some arm r seal and love that saw!
Forklifts really make life moor manageable!
Way out of my league. Been cutting wood for half century, but I never thought about a bench like this. Great video.
Solid maple "plywood" LOL... Now you need to build a giant circ saw mill, Matt.
Just what Adam needs -another bespoke tool!
Hello Matt, I'm sure it was good to get back on the mill. Nice bench you made, project central. Best, C.
Thanks!
Love watching all these videos of the mill in action! I now have a great list of equipment for when I win the lotto! Lol most people would take it easy in that circumstance but I'll be getting to work!👍🤣
Matt, Awesome and Spectacular!
Not only the cutting but especially the drying in only 12 days! Absolutely amazing!
*Hello there, I have requested your DVDs, for simpler and quicker approach to manufacture a shed **Allmy.Tips** I trust the substance are as you guaranteed it will be. Just I'm worried with the substance, it won't be anything but difficult to settle on a decision from the various plans.*
You have probably answered this question a thousand times, but how did you get so good at woodworking? You seem to young to be this talented. I know I will never be at your level but I love seeing your projects. Thanks for the videos!
Lots of practice and an obsessive personality
No such thing as to young, its spending time doing instead of playing. Doesn't matter if your 80 or 20, you have to put in the hours there is no short cut.
Jay Dunbar great advice! Thanks!
Hey, Matt, I'm sure many of your viewers will be quite interested in these workbench kits. Very impressive.
Thanks Marty!
Screwing or bolting the laminations together is more than fine. Much more stable too.
There is something Zen watching you cut up these logs. I hope some of these are in my kit. However I want you to take the time to properly vacuum dry the stock. Please keep up the good work.
A briliant video, as always. Great seeing carefully thought through timber conversion to get the boards you need.
That circular saw scares me! I use them, but at 5 years old on one of Dad's building sites I saw a carpenter take his thumb off with one.😲 Been scared of the things for the last 50 years now!
Once again watching you saw huge chunks of tree into timber relaxed and calmed me. I wasn't even doing anything but I was starting to get really worked up and cranky within my head, but now, I'm feeling much better and hopefully ready to start a productive day. Although I do need to stop writing this msg because I am getting stressed trying to make it make sense lol
Thanks Matt 👊👍
Oh yeah, and yes I would like a work bench kit please.... I wonder how much shipping would be to Australia?? 😁😀 would probably still be cheaper than buying the timber here tho, maybe I should wait and see if one day I can cut up my own tree and get it for free 🤔😧😀
1 side live edge bench would be great! Or a split top with the live edges in the middle tray area could be really cool.
Glad you explained the timeline on this log. I saw the snow and figured late June or early July is still a no go. Thought August must be the month w/o snow up there.
That’s one hell of a circular saw
love watching the mill in action .
Not many wives wouldn't allow this without a giant misunderstanding, lucky dude or a good warrior. Great setup.
Awesome video Matt. Love seeing the whole process you have figured out.
Love the idea, and the craftsmanship. And for the amount of work it takes to get those slabs to that point, your kit price seems reasonable. Maybe someday i'll have the time, money, and inclination to build a workbench like that. Maybe..........
Thanks Jake!
Now’s that a big boy saw!
Matt, the last log, where you cut a true quarter sawn slabs out, perfectly demonstrated why quarter sawn boards are so expensive. The waste levels are hugely expensive.
Thanks for showing centimeters!
That's a BIG CIRCULAR SAW
The Vermeer seems to make some things a LOT easier around your mill!!
Perfect workbench wood.
Tuning back in after a bit. I love the new Vermeer!
Very nice Matt, these would make excellent benches.
I wish I could afford the kit...... They look spectacular!
Beautiful, I love the look of quarter sawn lumber!
Cool idea. Hope it takes off.
thanks Chris!
My back hurts just by watching this. Nice video.
Great idea to bring to market!
Thanks!
Hey Matt, Always enjoy watching your adventures! I have been watching your videos in the evenings ! With all the COVID-19 going on! No where I can go ! Regards BobLee
Thanks Bob!
Man it's too bad I just finished my bench like a few months ago. This would have been so much easier and nicer to deal with. And you're just right across the border.
Really cool idea and fascinating process! Thanks for sharing, Matt!
Straddling a skill saw, nuts right in the path of a kick back. Not my choice of birth control, but hey, it's a free country.
Wish we had this sort of option in South Africa would be amazing to have these sorts of slabs for my workbench
What is the problem there?
There are decent options in Knysna if you're willing/able to make the drive. I go around once a year to pick up Ironwood, Blackwood and Yellowwood supplies
He built the bandsaw himself. He bought the steel, but you may be able to scrap it if there isn't a good supply near you or if it's too expensive.
Don't limit yourself.
Can you move that huge bench? It must weigh an absolute TON! Very nice! Love the dovetails on the end vice.
You can scoot it around one end at a time if needed but the idea is that it doesn't move :)
"stupid live edge...!" YES
Live edges
Always an adventure! Love following you along!!
thanks!
Another terrific video Matt. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Thanks!
Now, THAT'S a sawmill!
I am absolutely slabbergasted.
this needs to be a t-shirt with a picture of Matt's face, totally slabbergasted!! :)
Also, you look like Sylvester Stallone from Rambo II.
Matt with the deep cuts
Great job Matt! those big wide boards you where Resawing made me think of 4 x 8 sheets of plywood lol Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
hahaha thanks JP!
Your very welcome Matt! Have a great week!😎
Awesome work and video Matthew..
Great video and explanation 👍
I have to admit, my immediate thought watching you cut with that huge circular saw was John Candy in Uncle Buck flipping the enormous pancake! 😂😂😂
Perfect John! 👍
Good job Matt, hope you are able to move a bunch of those work benches. Enjoyed the milling. Fred
thanks Fred!
if i didn't already have one of these, i wouldn't hesitate to buy one.
that pith you keep pointing to is heart wood
Your video date shows July 7th, 2020 but you stated it was March either that or you had snow in July. Nice trunk of wood there to make a slab for a table from
Damn. Looks like a bowling alley. 😍
So nice.
I hope your little forklift is named Johnny 5!
Re: thumbnail....amazing how big that saw is....it can even make a 6'6" hulk of a lumberjack look small! 😜
😂😂😂
I use the same model at work when a job needs it. I feel like a naughty 6 year old sneaking around in grandpop's workshop. The handle sizes aren't really human in scale. Good times making stuff!!!
Can't tell what size that is... 10" ??
@@saintclearance926 looks like a beam saw like this www.amazon.com/Makita-5402NA-16-5-16-Inch-Circular/dp/B0000614UR which is 15 5/16. There are 10 1/4" beam saws also but they are quite a bit smaller.
@@sjunkerg ;
totally fascinating
I'd give one of my livers for some snow in Minnesota right about now.
Stu Meat one of your liver? How many do you have?
I only got ONE liver from God. But, he did give me 2 kidneys.
you got back from North Carolina quickly!
hahahaha I wish
@@mcremona Don't be mad because our summers are beautiful. This year is nice and mild.
I seriously wish you were my neighbor!
Just when I thought I had become thoroughly desensitized to the word "crotch", Matt comes out with the phrase "butt swell".
Gotta keep it fresh
The lens flare in the drone shots was very Michael Bay, I was half expecting the bandsaw mill to transform, Autobot or Decepticon ?
AWESOME video of an amazing build project!
you must have understanding neighbors, mine complain if i just get the table saw out.
Considering the size of the logs you're handling, wouldn't it be beneficial to create some sort of roller system to load the logs on mill?
If you're concerned about log movement while cutting then perhaps something that can be raised into place while unloading the log and then lowered once the log has been fully brought onto the deck of your mill.
Just a thought.
Random guy watching CZcams: "You can't move a board standing on edge with a skidsteer without it falling over."
Cremona: "Here, hold my water bucket..."
Yes you can ,have done it myself.
Way to go Matt!
Never thought I would want another man's wood so bad...but I can't find anything close to that size here in DFW to make a Roubo.
hey Matt do you have like a blueprint of that workbench then I can put one together myself when I little at a time I appreciate it
Very cool Matt.
Man Cremona
Great job on those big logs. Making cuts like that on a manual mill will work you. Plain sawing boards or slabs is alot quicker and easier.
