    1/28/23; great road trip to see friend's family forestry removal equipment supply their & your wood working projects. Anxious to see your new 'S4S' molding machine at work on your flooring project. Stay safe & carry on!👏👍💪🍷😊

    • @blackdog850

    @billbaggins9961 Před rokem +25

    That was interesting and enjoyable.
    As a (very) small time woodworker myself, I would love to be able to swing by a place like that and just ask for some of that lumber he has laying on the floor by his mills. It was funny when he's standing and walking over smaller slabs like it was trash and I'm looking at it as it's a project in the making for me!

  • @doneldridge202

    If Andrew says he’s a motivated person-that’s high praise.
    These are great episodes.
    Show these videos to your young people. They can do anything they set their mind to.
    It usually starts small, with a lot of hard work. But it beats the alternative of being a small replaceable cog in someone else’s machine.

  • @marlenemeinhard8956
    @marlenemeinhard8956 Před rokem +1

    This was such a great informative video of your friends business felling timber for roads, subdivisions. The size of those machines are ginormous. Your friend Matt did a great tour for us. Thank you for starting this series. I am excited to see the process for the flooring with that new machine you got. Can't wait.

    Wow is how I expressed the awe that I felt the first time I visited Chicago and saw the amazing buildings. I got the same same feeling seeing the scope of Matt's operation. All the toys he has is mind boggling. I really enjoyed the tour.

    @2003tarus Před rokem +3

    All I can say is wow. I was impressed with your trailer and sawmill fabrication. Also the knowledge you have for woodworking. Then you show this guys operation and it was amazing. I know there is a metal fabrication/repair shop on that property that is probably just as interesting.
    I started out in lumber drying and milling, then retired from pipefitting.
