We always need more cowbell... Very informative video brother .. I sent you a sticker but im not getting any tracking status so I'm sending another one... Your might have 2 coming lol... Have a great day my friend
Just remember; don’t leave home with your pajamas on, avoid the pith wood, keep the mill lubricated, and thank the Good Lord for another day, rain or shine. Everything else is just extra gravy or a good lesson to learn. Love the music you use. It really makes the videos an extra notch above a pleasure to watch. Great video, Nathan!! Thank you!!
I started watching you a couple years ago because I like the beauty of wood and knew nothing about milling. I didn't even know sawyers existed ! But I continued to watch because of how beautiful your vids are.
Pretty plain, Nathan, that you’ve found your niche in life! Anybody who can stay that patient on a literally “crappy” day, is imbued with inner strength that only comes from true contentment. Congratulations! 😁👍👍❗️
I don’t know why, but the last 15 or 20 seconds of this video has me wanting to visit Kingsport. Who knows, it’s just a small country drive from Oregon.
Very interesting video thanks Nathan, even with some axe throwing in the end. Boy, he must go through a lot of lumber on his axe targets. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Yes, Mark Galicic's CZcams channel is good. Can't beat seeing him and The Eddie Horvath milling lumber and building their buildings. Outdoors with the Morgans is a great channel, too! I feel like I know their family better than I know my own!
Always a good day when a new otw video pops up. Especially a 20 minute video! I really appreciate the detailed explanation on the pith and the juvenile wood shrinking more in its length. I didn’t know that, but makes perfect sense when you explained the twist. I’ve threw axes for the first time last summer. Something that looks so easy sure isn’t. Good stuff as always Nathan. Much appreciated. -Ben
That made me smile Nathan. Despite the storm damage and Animals abusing your property - YOU Nathan Elliott found positive in your DAY. God Bless the Good Folks at TYM and Nathan for finding the good in everything.
I asked about a month ago or so about your suspenders, you gave me the link and I ordered a set. They AREN'T cheap but WOW they are nice. Best bang for the buck in suspenders ever!! I just ordered another pair for my motorcycle riding pants and judging by the quality I am done buying suspenders !😀👍🇨🇦
Nathan - A question from the cheap seats if you would be so kind to answer. Because of the amount and depth of checking in this tulip poplar, would you gain anything by quarter sawing this rascal? If you already answered this, my apologies as I got called away and didn't hear all of your explanations.
I've been watching every video that you and Mark put out for the last few months. I don't know how I found your channel don't know how I found his, but as far as sawmill channels go, you are my top two choices
Stuck here in lockdown in Southern England, it is very relaxing to watch you at work. I particularly like the way you are building your barn, cutting timbers and trimming and adapting them to where they will go. Very interesting. Keep going and stay safe.
Good advice there Nathan on how the birds shrink at different rates that cause the bow in the wood. Had a similar problem with my shed roof. Had a grey squirrel rip my roof felt off, wind and water completed the job so I’m waiting for a few dry days to strip off the osb board and replace with ply and metal. Nothing worse than stepping in 💩! Hope you managed to get rid of the Tom cat scent!! Take care dear friend, be safe. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲👍
Nathan. As always another great video. Appreciated the explanation of the milling around the pith. Would love to visit your mill sometime, I have a freind in Mount Joliet TN and might make a detour when I make a trip to see him. Beautiful country where you live. The weather looked great also, 73 degrees and sunny here today in western New York
Good evening Nathan, You did s great job explaining things today. Thank you. Even though I was in the millwork business for 31 years, you taught me something today. Have a great weekend.
The explanations in this video make perfect sense. Im getting a little Alaskan chainsaw mill for Christmas. Even though they are small I will be using what Im learning from you and watching you cut your timber to start cutting my owns timber. Thanks for for all your hard work, Cheers
Nathan your day coulda been worse had you met PAJAMA People at the hardaware store! I enjoy spending part of the day with you and thanks for the video editing work. Great job. Peace and safety always with you! Rich
Great Video Nathan, thank you for the lesson and explanation of why wood gets warped as it dries. You are correct, Mark, THE Eddie, and the bus motor have a great channel, been watching them and you for awhile now. Continue the great work.
Nathan thank you for sharing your knowledge. I know it is not easy filming the videos for CZcams. Let me return a little of your kindness by sharing something I have learned with you. In reference to the checking of your log even after you coated it with Anchorseal. I had some of the same issues using Anchorseal. Now I use Gorilla glue to paint the end grain. It works much better than Anchorseal and it is much less expensive. I started out using Titebond(the outdoor kind)then found out Gorilla glue was even less expensive. It totally seals the log ends and locks out the air. I hope this will help save some of your lumber due to loss by checking. You can get 1gallon jugs from Amazon.
You always make sawing interesting. Some times I want a saw mill, but I don't think I'd get enough use of it. Plus I'm turning 70 in June, so my age is working against me with the heavy boards. I wish I was close to you and could get some of your burn pile. Kansas is a little far away though. I'm going to do a bunch of shelves and that wood would do well for some of them.
I was talking to an old sawmill guy a couple weeks ago. He was telling me that poplar is one of the best for holding fasteners. There was a kind of pine that he said was terrible, but I don't remember which one he said it was.
There are two times a year that hard and softwood trees become basically a massive tube of water. Spring and Fall. I suspect that the tree was in this flow time and the trunk was saturated and swollen with water. My cheap theory of why its checking so drastically.
Hi Nathan, I also like Mark Golick he also has a circular mill and talks while sawing a lot of good content. I think he must be neighbors to Mike Morgan.
Wish that is all the damage I had. Had a tree go thru my little shop. In the process of putting it back together. Salvaged what I could. Live in Sulphur Louisiana and got hit by two major hurricanes. Going to mill that up for flooring in my house. Building supplies have doubled here recently.
Thanks. Enjoy your channel. Inspired me to mill up that tree. It was a huge yellow pine. 26 inches at the base and about 70 feet tall. Straight as an arrow. Actually had 2like that that fell.
Your vids are like a Zen meditation for me. Love them so much. If you explain what you are thinking when approaching the cuts, I wonder if you could add some lines onto the end of the lumber to visually show us what you are aiming for, whether digitally in post or even with chalk so we can see what your goal is for milling. If it's inconvenient or just don't feel like it, that's super cool, I'm just interested in your approach that's all. Keep up the rad work!
A 1"x4" where you are screwing the metal down is sufficient, just be sure it is secure to the OSB and (framing) where possible. Double decking may overload the framing especially if you are subject to Snow.
I was about to make a comment on that wood being as "Blond and Bland" as the foods we are supposedly notorious for in the upper Plains states! But, seeing the designation, it makes sense!---I was a bit concerned at your absence, figured it was weather-related and decided to be patient and await your emergence.---Shouldn't laugh at your "mondays", but we've all had 'em, so it was lighthearted to say the least!---(I'm holding out hope that one day, you'll let loose with a chuckle that'll let the sun shine on camera!)
I believe if you pre-drill the osb and use appropriate fasteners you won't have an issue. You could put some adhesive in the hole before screwing the fasteners
When I see a burn pile like yours I get jealous fire wood is in short supply around here and it’s starting to get cold. I know exactly what your talking about on those inexpensive boards from the big box stores with the crown you have to really look through them.
Another downside of building with OSB... Unless it is specifically fire retardant, it burns like no tomorrow. We were fixing the roof of my mom's house and we pulled out a lot of OSB and replaced it with exterior grade plywood decking. Anyways, burning the OSB, we realized that it's basically a pres-to-log in sheet form. Not comforting when you realize that the insulation in a lot of modern houses is cellulose fiber. (we burned some of that too, and while it didn't go up in flames, it acted like charcoal, holding embers for a long time.)
Nate, It might be nice if all of your wood eqipmentand storage were part of an "L" shaped building complex ona corner of your yard. In That was you could have a paved roadway to/from the area and have the logs stored under roof on the right side. The middle would be the WoodMizer and the left side would have enough roofed storage to enclose the naturally drying lumber with the Kilns just beyond. it seems that such an arrangement might just make the work flow in a more efficient way . Thx BP
Be sure to follow me on Instagram I will be showing an interesting old oak log on their tomorrow

We always need more cowbell... Very informative video brother .. I sent you a sticker but im not getting any tracking status so I'm sending another one... Your might have 2 coming lol... Have a great day my friend
I like that wood better the the store pine they had for the backstop. Holds up much better.
thanks so much for the shout out , it was a big help to our channel! Mark & Eddie.
awesome, well deserved,
Every day is a good day... some days are just better than others. An old elder in my church always says that. Lol
Just remember; don’t leave home with your pajamas on, avoid the pith wood, keep the mill lubricated, and thank the Good Lord for another day, rain or shine. Everything else is just extra gravy or a good lesson to learn.
Love the music you use. It really makes the videos an extra notch above a pleasure to watch.
Great video, Nathan!! Thank you!!
Great point! appreciate you buddy, good to hear from you,
I’m with you big daddy!
I started watching you a couple years ago because I like the beauty of wood and knew nothing about milling. I didn't even know sawyers existed ! But I continued to watch because of how beautiful your vids are.
Well said Susan. I love the country scenery and the story.
And dont pee into the wind!
I'm happy to see y'all survived the hurricanado. The poplar did split quick. Have a beautiful week.
I call that a ‘character building day.’
Pretty plain, Nathan, that you’ve found your niche in life! Anybody who can stay that patient on a literally “crappy” day, is imbued with inner strength that only comes from true contentment. Congratulations!
😁👍👍❗️
I don’t know why, but the last 15 or 20 seconds of this video has me wanting to visit Kingsport. Who knows, it’s just a small country drive from Oregon.
Hello Nathan,thank you for your excellent content.
no matter what dog crap roofs your still above ground and honestly no reason to complain
More beautiful wood and some axe throwing. That’s awesome. I really enjoyed it. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Absolutely love the explanations of the why’s, do’s and don’ts. It’s very much appreciated!
Thanks. You bring a kind intelligence to your craft.
Very interesting video thanks Nathan, even with some axe throwing in the end. Boy, he must go through a lot of lumber on his axe targets. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

Good stuff as always Nathan. Much appreciated.
-Ben
At least, when you stepped in the smelly stuff, you were wearing your boots! Thank Heaven for mercies, large and small!
King's Port Axe House is such a great spot! Had that (or something like it) been around when I moved from the area...I might have just stayed!
That tractor is cleaner than my truck!
Mamma said there will be days like this! Lol
That made me smile Nathan. Despite the storm damage and Animals abusing your property - YOU Nathan Elliott found positive in your DAY. God Bless the Good Folks at TYM and Nathan for finding the good in everything.
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 12 Jan 21.
Looking at that log, I thought you had drawn something on it. Amazing it would crack that fast.
Dang, rough day! LOL
I asked about a month ago or so about your suspenders, you gave me the link and I ordered a set. They AREN'T cheap but WOW they are nice. Best bang for the buck in suspenders ever!! I just ordered another pair for my motorcycle riding pants and judging by the quality I am done buying suspenders !😀👍🇨🇦
Some days a diamond, some days a stone.
Never miss one of Mark and Eddie's sawmill videos.
Poplar is by far the best wood species for interior paint grade mill work.
Nathan when you get to replacing the kiln roof. Tar paper over chip board and 1x4s for slats are sufficient to anchor sheet metal.
Thanks for explaining how the juvenile wood effects the boards... I knew that I wanted to keep The log centered now I know why! thank you!
Nathan - A question from the cheap seats if you would be so kind to answer. Because of the amount and depth of checking in this tulip poplar, would you gain anything by quarter sawing this rascal? If you already answered this, my apologies as I got called away and didn't hear all of your explanations.
Always great.

"Mama told me there would be days like this"!!! Fun video, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your oil can. My Grandfather had that exact oil can back in the 1960's. Cool memory day for me.
Thank you!
You have a great property 👍
I clicked for the good times. I got them. LOL I do love this channel tbh
👍👍👍
Stuck here in lockdown in Southern England, it is very relaxing to watch you at work. I particularly like the way you are building your barn, cutting timbers and trimming and adapting them to where they will go. Very interesting. Keep going and stay safe.
Sometimes you step out of one pile right into another, as long as you keep stepping, that's all that matters.
Agreed
Good advice there Nathan on how the birds shrink at different rates that cause the bow in the wood. Had a similar problem with my shed roof.

Good evening Nathan,
You did s great job explaining things today. Thank you. Even though I was in the millwork business for 31 years, you taught me something today. Have a great weekend.
Mark's channel was a suggestion by CZcams's algorithm after watching both you, Nathan, and Wes. Not enough channels out there of sawyers milling.
I am just in love with your property there. Beautiful, rolling hills, nice open areas, gorgeous sky. Cheers!
Thank you very much!
The explanations in this video make perfect sense. Im getting a little Alaskan chainsaw mill for Christmas. Even though they are small I will be using what Im learning from you and watching you cut your timber to start cutting my owns timber. Thanks for for all your hard work, Cheers
Thanks Nathan for another great lesson! Once again You have proven I am not too old to learn!
Have I mentioned I am proud of Your service, who You are and what You do! I claim and reserve this opportunity to Thank You for it!

@@tonygrimes13 Thank You!
We use those oil cans ...they are the best
Mark has a great channel. You and him are my favorite sawmill channels.
Started out "crappy"... but ended up having a little fun throwing the Ax. Good to see it Nathan.
Thanks for sharing. Very informative. Have a great day.
Nathan your day coulda been worse had you met PAJAMA People at the hardaware store! I enjoy spending part of the day with you and thanks for the video editing work. Great job. Peace and safety always with you! Rich
thanks RIch, appreciate it,
Great Video Nathan, thank you for the lesson and explanation of why wood gets warped as it dries. You are correct, Mark, THE Eddie, and the bus motor have a great channel, been watching them and you for awhile now. Continue the great work.
Thanks 👍
As clear as that blue sky of Tennessee :)
I enjoyed the video on poplar also as it is really abundant wood to cut
Fantastic Outro!
Thanks buddy
Way cool brother great video
Well well well....What about all of that now....Thanks Nathan...!
I knew it, you used to be an astrophysicist! Just loved your pithy explainer!

Good info thanks for sharing
Tulip Poplar can be stained to Look exactly like Walnut!!
Yelp. I've done it and amazing how close looking it is to walnut.
You should use 2 x 4 perlins, make sure you nail them into the rafters. You can leave osb on. You can insulate between perlins.
There is a blues song somewhere in the beginning of this video LOL
Wish that is all the damage I had. Had a tree go thru my little shop. In the process of putting it back together. Salvaged what I could. Live in Sulphur Louisiana and got hit by two major hurricanes. Going to mill that up for flooring in my house. Building supplies have doubled here recently.

Poplar pops open like a rip watermelon
Awesome !!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
What you could do to clarify your methods is cut a cookie and draw on the end and show and tell with visual aids . Blessed day all.
Mark (gul EH chick) Hope I was close....super nice fella, along with THE Eddie....Eddie will work circles around all of us.
agreed
ONE OF THEM DAYS ... lol
For sure
Man I love my cab on my TYM tractor
Right on

Something all the time!
no doubt about that,
Very good channel i follow him also
Good vidgd nathan
Trying to get my hands on some popular to get my workshop started. Love your videos, keep them coming. My LX25 is doing great.
I believe if you pre-drill the osb and use appropriate fasteners you won't have an issue. You could put some adhesive in the hole before screwing the fasteners
Go back to bed and start the day over. LOL 😂
When I see a burn pile like yours I get jealous fire wood is in short supply around here and it’s starting to get cold. I know exactly what your talking about on those inexpensive boards from the big box stores with the crown you have to really look through them.
Thank you for another awsome video! Hickory? Lol
You bet!
Nathan, I’m surprised you don’t mix the sawdust in with your vegetable garden soil, great for moisture retention and adds organic matter.
He’s explained a few times that several species, that he saws, are actually poisonous if he were to amend the soil with sawdust.
Oh, thanks Chris. I must have skipped that episode. Didn’t know that. Here is Australia we do it all the time.
I believe they make noise canceling head sets you shoud check it out
now that you have a cab tractor you need a cab sawmill haha

Ain't that nice. In Canada we have to pay $100 for that Goldenrod oiler from Amazon.
You should get/make some molds and make your own charcoal with that sawdust. That’s what Henry Ford (Kingsford) did. Lol
I heard him mention your channel the other day
Have you noticed there is an identical bottom rail to lube? I squirt ATF on a paper towel or rag and wipe it on.
👍😊
Good video. Sorry your day started out crappy😂👍
also took all week to finish this video, shewwwwwww
Poop happens, Just the depth varies.
nathan / mark has a great channel/ i would also recommend the northwest sawyer/ fall line ridge/ and the Morgans as really good watches
agreed
