Brenda, you sure get your exercise with all your filming. I can hear you running at times to catch up with Jim and the horses !! Your microphone's sure pick up every sound and gives us viewers a sense of being with you guys !! Love it !!
That was a pretty good joke about the leaves. I love it when Jim tells a joke... he can't quite keep himself from smiling so you know he's warming up for a good punchline... Makes me smile.
I find it amazing how cutting and pulling down something so massive and rough and noisy can almost become an art form done with such calmness and almost a gentle touch , it’s mesmerising to me
I love watching you both working together. Jim has an economy of movement, looking the situation over and getting the precise action needed for the job. I also appreciate your care for the land and future generations
Thank you Jim and Brenda. Barron is so big and well behaved I forget that he is just learning😊 Bill is a great helper when training.❤❤❤❤
Jim I love seeing someone using a well designed tool for more than it was designed for. Great process.
Saw Jim use a very neat way to fell the logs today. Enjoyed watching Baron prance and work. And found the siding part very interesting. Thanks.
Jim and Brenda, you do my heart good when I watch you with your beloved horses in such an enchanting place. I’m amazed at how God has blessed your lives together. Praying that the Lord will keep you safe as you do this work together.
Brenda’s questions has a way of adding information to the content. I love 💕 watching this channel 😊
Your guys trees look prettier in the Spring than ours do in the fall down here in Alabama! Absolutely beautiful!!!
I am at 80 year old man I wish I was in the woods with you people
My dad was cutting wood in the bush with me at 85. He was born in 1919 . Worked on the family farm in the summer logging camps in the winter. Then Juno Beach in ww2, no stranger to work. I could never be as fit and strong as dad in ever.
Barron is a rockstar!!! Imagine how good he will be in a couple of years!!
I found the technique you used very interesting and loved the sample of the siding, it had such character. Thanks Jim & Brenda. 🙂👏🏼👏🏼
This was a beautiful video,and all my good trail horses eat leaves to 😆 LOL.
Love it when Brenda asks Jim a question about how or what he is doing. You two are awesome!
ThankYou Jim, Brenda. Everything is nice here in Nova Scotia, Sunny But Windy here on the east coast.... Jim
We really saw your two apple tree, near the house, in bloom, in this video ... Nice sight.
I love the smell of a sawmill
Loved your beautiful wood lot and your horses Baron is working out well, that siding is some beautiful lumber, Thank you Brenda and Jim
Baron is doing soooo good! I'm really impressed with his pulling ability! You're an excellent trainer Jim. Keep up the good work and stay safe! 🙏🏽
We are very pleased with his progress. Thanks!
There’s a lot of cuts, and a lot of pieces. Well done. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Jim I enjoy watching you u remind me of my grandpa so much.
Baron is doing great! Jim, you don't even have to train him to become a tree trimmer! Chew on that for a while!
I really enjoyed seeing start to finish! Awesome work! It really is quite the job, going from start to finish..quite enjoyed the saw mill action! …always love the horses - they never disappoint! ❤️
We lived in the woods of Maine almost 30 years After mud season came Black flies season. We cut& split our own fire wood that we heated the house with. Ticks were the worst but we retired to Florida 3 years ago. My first job in Me. was for a forest products dealer. The loud equipment skidders, chippers tractor trailers. I would rather be working with you and your horses Love the videos God bless you and your family
hope you are enjoying Florida!
Baron is really working much better today than I've seen so far. He is really settling into the work ethic. He seems like his energy is really focused on the work at hand. great video Brenda. Jim you know your horses and that means all the difference in the world. Look for- ward to next video. I look forward to them. Seems like watching close friends. God Bless.
Yes, Baron is catching on fast and doing well. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jim, Brenda, this was a great video. From the great time in your woods, to your saw mill, i had a great time. Now i know what Adirondack siding is, and how you taper the boards. Bill and Baron worked great in the woods together.Brenda, as always Great Camara Work!! Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Hi James, glad you enjoyed the video. Hope things are going well in Nova Scotia
Enjoy your videos and Jim working the horses
You're a cut above the rest Jim! You're a man of many talents!
What an absolutely great video..I love wood ,I never throw any away..I build rustic furniture..I have a friend with a sawmill ,I get his scrap stuff and do all kinds of things with it. lov from south alabama.
I love the siding
Very interesting sawmill info. Barron is getting better every day. Thank you for the video. I really enjoy them. Take care and God Bless
Thank you very much Jim for showing us how this is done.! Thumbs Up to you and the horses that brought these logs home.!
Jim obviously has this for a long time. Very interesting to watch the manner he felled the tree
Perhaps one day you and Brenda could go over the finer points of lumber - from the correct way to cut the tree ( tools needed..where and how to place the saw /the wedges /cuts to make/ how to determine where to drop the tree /safety equip)..I am fascinated by harvesting trees..I cut my dead trees down but I think some are too large to tackle with my ' old woman ' size saws..however my son has a large saw but we could use lessons..I love your sawmill and the Adirondack boards are beautiful..honestly I've never seen those..
It was fun watching Baron crow hopping his way (that's what I always heard it called)..he's just a baby doing a man's work..I know you started him before you wanted to ..I feel they aren't done with childhood until 5yrs but he seems to enjoy the challenges..just take a look at what the racing industry does to the babies..that industry is pure abuse..if they waited until they were mature they would be surprised at what the horses would be capable of..
Anyways he will learn..all your horses are in great shape and such a joy to watch..I live near many Amish and it doesn't take a genius to see the difference between well attended to drafts and their drafts and buggy horses..as always prayers and blessings
Very interesting cut at the sawmill. Love the horses 😊❤
Thank you Jim for showing us that cutting up the sighting that is very interesting thank you.
Hello Jim from India.
I have been following your videos for quite sometime and I am amazed with the progress you have made with Baron.
I wish to visit you someday if I happen to travel to US. Good bless you and your Horses.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to watch! Yes, Baron seems to be doing well.
Hey Brenda I've found mixing peppermint concentrate in a small spritzer bottle of water and spraying my clothes works really well keeping bugs away. Mint works well also I'll just grab a handful out of the bed rub it on me.
Good to know!
I think the adirondack siding is beautiful, Jim. I've never seen it before. Reminds me a little of a log cabin with mortar between the logs. Very pretty siding. I've noticed Baron "crow hopping" when he starts out pulling something heavy. He has amazed me how fast he has learned to work with another horse pulling loads and remembering commands. He's a very smart boy and I know you're proud of him! I just love him too!
It is quite popular in the Adirondack forest area close by to here. Yes, he does seem to b learning quick
The horses are majestic
Baron looks a little antsy!! I just said to the wife Baron is crow hopping! thanks for showing how to taper cut on a sawmill!
In Australia were do a similar type of cut which makes a board called a weatherboard. It is used as siding on all types of older style buildings mostly. But we don't use the live edges. The sapwood is removed due to attracting critters, white ants mostly. It's a pity but the sapwood is quite soft whereas the board itself is very hard hardwood. Some people do a radially sawn log which is usually a much thicker log. Radial sawn timber is used for framing mostly as it is renowned for staying straight. But some people like to use radially sawn timber for the siding and generally use live edges so they are most likely not using traditional eucalypt type hardwood. Pine can't be used here unless treated first due to it's capacity to encourage white ants mostly.
thanks for the video, very interesting film on cutting adirondack siding
Great video, I had never hear of Adirondack siding, really fascinating, thanks for that, I did notice Baron skipping a bit early in the video, I've had pacers do that , usually it just takes a bit of time to work out which gait you want from them. he is going to turn out to be a great part of your team. he seems to be a quick learner, is he?
I think because you had Barron in the house for coffee and fresh rolls he has really shaped up, maybe have to invite him in.
Actually, that was Earl 😉
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim sorry about that, but don’t hear much about them. Thanks for the response.
I enjoyed the collecting of logs to homestead and making siding from the sawmill. Such beautiful work and very calming for me to watch the equipment saw each plank. Such interesting name of Adirondack and how it is being used.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yeah, there is a weird creaking noise, and I was wondering if it was the log reacting to the tongs, or if it pulls differently and is putting pressure on the tongue of the cart. It is definitely a wood creaking noise that I'm hearing.
Jim thanks for explaining how you cut the tapper in the siding boards. Very clever!!
Thank you for sharing. What about Lady? Is she bagging up?🐴🐴
Good evening from Limpopo South Africa. 🕡
Hello, thanks for watching!
So nice to see Baron pulling more weight.
Brenda,I don't miss those dread blackflies from my 4 years at Plattsburgh.
hahahaha true
Jim i noticed Baron hopping as never have seen a horse do that. Later in the video you explained the hopping and I appreciated that. Baron is coming along so wonderful with your training and working with the other
horse's. Great job Jim and Brenda for filming. God bless you both. Waiting for the next video and waiting patiently for Lady to have her baby..
the B-team at it again. Love the sawing part too.
04:50 is how it's done !!
I should have mentioned that a shelterbelt is mainly used in areas with poorer soil and with softwoods. In the northeast, hardwoods will usually come in and outcompete the softwoods because of the richer soil.
👍
I heard it as well Brenda. Maybe wheel bearing of the cart?
Nice. You need an air/hydraulic actuated cylinder to move the board in or out so you don't have to walk back and forth.
Great video as always.
I ready noticed his crow hoppin', he was wantin' to run, bill was just walking.
A wonderful video. Thank You
Fascinating!
I noticed that Baron was doing His Hopping on the First Pull out Today But I Thinking That He is going to be a good Pulling Horse and is willing to do his Best at It seems to Like his jobs so Far From what you've Shown If He keeps Learning From His Partners Then He's going To Be A Wonderful Horse Thanks For the Video. Blessings to Y'all and Please Be Safe ✌️
Well done! I could watch you in the woods with the horses all day. One of my favorite activities is relatively low impact last gingerly with my small compact tractor. Brenda you do such a good job with the camera. Truly is must see tv! Thanks for sharing.
That should read “low impact logging” 😂. Got to pay attention to the iPhone autocorrect!
The cutting of the siding was very interesting!
I have been using a chainsaw for a long time, but I've never seen that before. Very educational! Thank you!
Brenda I hear it too. It sounds like maybe to he shaft is cracking or something about to break. I hope I am wrong. But I hear what you are hearing.
Thanks for sharing
Brenda, maybe you could try using a bee keepers hat with the netting and wear gloves. That might protect you more from the bugs.
They resemble clapboards with a live edge.
How wonderful to see you all back in the woods,how beautiful it is.l said this a couple of years ago how much l loved the Siders beautiful affect.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent video.Hope that door stops banging or youll never get to sleep.Thankyou Brenda fabulous camera work.All the very best dear friends ❤
Do you see any of that type of siding in the UK? Fortunately the banging door is far enough away that we never hear it from the house.
No we don't, we'll lve never ever seen any, have an amazing weekend.
You too!
That's pretty interesting. I appreciate the idea that you will get much more siding onto the building. but then you always did need to get in a few more steps in your day.
Baron and Bill look good as a team. It looks like Baron is standing better for you! 👍🏼 I don’t have a team, so it must be bit of a jerky ride when he crow hops? I take it that it uses up more energy as well? Love the look of the board! Are you using White pine or Hemlock for the siding? After I watched the video, I went to Google and had quite the history lesson on Adirondack Mountains! Very interesting and educational🙌🏼Thank goodness for being able to follow the script to get the right spelling of Adriondack. Good work to you two and the horses🙌🏼👍🏼👏🤠🐴🇨🇦
Sawmill was very interesting. You must find great fullfilment in your work. Very good stuff to watch.👍
Great video.
You are a good logger. Your woods look nice and not a lot of "junk" lying around. We had our woods logged by a logging company the ground was raped and so many trees were lost due to them cutting to get through to get to marked trees. If I ever get lucky enough to own property again it will not be logged by one of those companies. Baron doing good love the Punchs. ❤
Very interesting
We have some trees so crooked the smoke won't go up the chimney.
excellent sawmill work,,we loved watching all of it...such beautiful trees...sorry about the blackflies
Boy baron really wanting go
JIM I’d like to see a house that has home cut Adiron deck in the area that you can picture
Always interesting. Thanks guys!
Skin so soft by Avon works great for bugs. Works on horses too.
Yes we used it last year
Матерял Покрив .Дърва по земята паднали дървата за мен е достатъчно.
My husband and I both work our land but we two are the only horses on it. Lol. B
Jim.....protect your lungs from sawdust - wear mask or respirator....bravo on the ear protection!
Jim, like all men you have your deficiencies but handling team horses and chainsaws are certainly not two of them!!! Great video and thanks Brenda, great job too!!
Thank you!
Hi friends enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS
Hi Tina!
awesome cutting on the mill
Interesting video as always jim
Baron’s crow hopping is obvious but I thought he was just feeling his oats and trying to canter. I’m wondering, is there a difference in the power of a stallion compared to a gelding of the same age and size? Great watching Jim’s efficiency in felling the trees!
I really enjoyed this video! 😊
Great video Can you explain in more detail what you mean by stickering up please
first time starting a lawn mower at the beginning of the season Jim, it's good to take the spark plug out and theow some gas in it to prime it it's easier to start.
👍
Very informative video about the sawmill and crow hopping baron does I was wondering if Baron did that because he is weaker than Bill thanks
Jim , while working in your sawmill should you have your nose covered to prevent saw dust from getting in your lungs?
The leaves are they’re salad before their main meal lol
How are the Ticks in your Timbers? Are your horses attacked by them. I live in Iowa and on my farm in s. Iowa, ticks are really thick this year. I enjoy your video. I agree with
Brenda about the joy of being in the Timbers.
They haven’t been too bad so far this year
I noticed you said you had several plantations like that one what are you calling a plantation down south it huge farm just wondering
💖
What you are describing for this plantation is called a shelterbelt harvest in forestry. It is not quite as complete as a clear cut. Enough of the biggest and tallest trees of species you want to regenerate are left to reseed the plantation. Hopefully the trees left will have the best genetics and will provide a shelter for new trees coming up. When the new stand is firmly established after a period of time, you can come back in and harvest the mother trees.
Thanks for sharing! Hopefully that is how it works out!
