Enjoyed your video. Suggest you measure and square cut the ends of your logs before placing on the mill. Reduces the chance of hitting the sawmill with chainsaw and gives you a good square end to work with. Enjoyed watching. Couple sawhorses would let you stack slabs to Esther resaw or cut into smaller lengths. A hand held metal detector is a good investment to check log after removing steel you can see, so is a good brush.
Nice video. Good looking pine slabs for your customer. Good thing you found the hardware in the log...could have made a good day turn bad real quick. My good friend and neighbor has an LT40 and has it set up in a mill shed like you. Do you haul your mill around to cut or keep the logs coming to you? My buddy has decided to not move his mill around because of the hassle. He seems to get plenty to cut right at his mill. He also tells his customers who bring logs that they own the blade if there is hardware in the log that he can't detect with his wand. I try to get over to help him when I can. Keep up the good work!
If you're worried about metal then by yourself a metal detector you can wave over the log. A good one will run between a hundred and a hundred and a half, but if it saves one blade, it's paid for itself.
Jim Auger I had them sit for a few weeks after they were cut down. I just use water mixed with a little dish soap to run on the blade. The soap just helps the blade stay clean and go through the log better
how old is that mill? i work with a 2015 wood-mizer sawmill and we have had no end of reliability issues with the electrical system to the point that we have given up repairing some of the stuff ( blade guide movement, carbide bark remover etc) we have been trying to maintain it as best as possible but when not stored in a barn outdoor use only...
iliketobuildstuff it is almost a year old. I have 210 hours on it so far. I’m sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with yours. I haven’t had hardly anything go wrong with this one yet. I’m guessing yours is a lt40 or bigger with having the hydraulic blade guide arm. I have heard with the computer on those mills have had some issues
Gene Woody it was a white pine tree out of a yard. There is lots of different types of pine trees, I’m in Missouri so they are probably different than what you have
free usa yes I do mainly custom orders of red cedar lumber for decks, siding, and fences. I also do a lot of live edge stuff for table tops and such. These pines will most likely be for a table top or something of that nature
Thanks for letting us all know that. PUNISHMENT noted for your disapproval...and NO, I do not know this guy...I just always comment when I see someone take their sub away and broadcast it in the comments.
that was great! I just realized the head saw was cantilevered! I must not have been paying attention. that was fun to watch Patton!
1st time watching, look forward to seeing more.

Dude, that mill is nice! And your shed is a work of art. Just subbed!
Fall Line Ridge thanks a lot! I sure appreciate that. I’ve been watching your channel for a while and you have really good videos
Patton Woodworks Thanks!
that's awesome
also like the barn your working in.
Outdoor Jay thank you!
Keep up the great work you will be glad working for yourself is fantastic!
Bare-Handed blade change? You're a bigger man than I! Nice work!
Nice log! Interesting to see how you get the log to the W-M.
Nice looking wood. Nice mill.
Dillons Woodworks thanks!

If you haven't already, get you a drywall scraper to remove sawdust...better than roughing up your hand!
Looks like good lumber I don't like to find metal in a log you got to get it out or you screw up a good blade right.
Nice setup!
Thanks!

I would think some log handling equipment would be a good investment
You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing the videos.
OLD DAWG DREAMING thanks! No problem
Nice, subbed. From Sawyer
That toy tractor is so KYUTE!
I would strongly recommend getting yourself a metal detector, in case of inclusion.
Looked like a nice pine log. What will those slabs be used for? Thank you for sharing.
Lost Nation Thanks. Not for sure yet but hopefully table tops, bar tops, counter tops, something like that.
I heard about you from Northwest Sawyer. Great Job!!
Stephen Russell he is a super nice guy! Thank you I appreciate that
Same here. He said he appreciates that you're goin' at it. He also said that you change your blades bare handed.
I did to that was an awesome plaque you made for him.
Did you let the logs sit for awhile? What did you use for the water mixture and setting for pine? I have a lot 40 and am still learning. Thanks

I see a couple of bar tops in those slabs.
Swamp Rat Oh yeah for sure
do you get the blades resharpened or are they toast?
wastegate I get them resharpend. I am on my second time having them sharpened and none have broke yet and they are still cutting perfect
Hello Patton sawmill nice wood
At mill tell your dad hello for
Me
jeff blackwell thank you. I will do that
Hard on blades dragging the logs them through the rocks ?
Can you get those blades resharpened or do you have to buy new everytime?
You can send them back to Woodmizer to get them resharpend. I used to do thst but I just buy new ones now it seems to work better for me

Your so close to 1000 subs!
scot butler I got the 1000 now!
Big Lol
Pine
What kind of pine is that? Doesn't look like pine to me at least any that I have been around.
Gene Woody it was a white pine tree out of a yard. There is lots of different types of pine trees, I’m in Missouri so they are probably different than what you have
Is that eletric?
Q buen equipo tiene ?***
There has to be an easier way of removing the boards, some kind of conveyor system..
Hand held metal detectors
nice operation, you take orders 1 by 10 and such or what ever ??????
free usa yes I do mainly custom orders of red cedar lumber for decks, siding, and fences. I also do a lot of live edge stuff for table tops and such. These pines will most likely be for a table top or something of that nature
I take it back most saw mill operators do it all by them selves
Why so thick ?
Vorrei sapere il prezzo
You really should wear some hearing protection. 30 years from now, your ears can thank my corpse cuz I won't be around. Otherwise you're doing great!
Can not hear
Well all we really know is it’s a big old pine, a little disappointed so unsubscribed 😩
Thanks for letting us all know that. PUNISHMENT noted for your disapproval...and NO, I do not know this guy...I just always comment when I see someone take their sub away and broadcast it in the comments.
