Matt...it's called 'spalting', it's the fungus beginning its initial work in the rotting process. Now that you'll be creating lots and lots of sawdust, and I'm fairly sure you've already thought of this, you can find unit to turn your sawdust into pellets for a pellet stove. If you haven't thought of it so far...invest in a metal detector before you ruin an expensive blade. You may want to consider some hearing muffs. Sorry for the thoughts from my cheap seat...another great video.
Not to forget a First Aid kit If it happens that he lobs off a finger or two or worse 🤕 and maybe a tourniquet with a course on how and what to do with it 😉
Good call regarding the sawdust John. I was also going to mention, in some videos of similar wood cutting, I noticed that some of them connected buckets, or even in one, a vacuum system to collect the dust from their saws.
Yea some youtuber made a whole automatic deal that took the sawdust from the mill, when it got to a certain fill point he had a conveyer take the stuff to a press that would press out pucks then dump them into the furnace based on what temp he had a thermostat set to..
Soak sawdust in used oil to make bricks burn hotter
Muffs are a priority for everyone. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough oh so many years ago.
Mill tips , first buy extra dogs ! Have a set for tall wood and set the other low so you don’t have to constantly change ! #2 a squirt of dish soap in a tank of water will work as lubricant fluid in the summer otherwise windshield washer fluid (-20) for fluid in the winter ! #3 make a pre staging deck to set multiple logs on with machinery and then hand roll them onto the leveled deck ! The less bouncing big logs on your cutting deck the more consistent your cuts will be ! Good luck…
I don’t know much about this kind of machine but I instantly thought man I’d build a deck to drop logs on so I’m not dropping them on the machine.
You could see the deck move when the log hit it @24:43 Plus it almost rolled off the skid steer just before that, and if that had rolled onto the deck, it would not have been good.
Wayne, should the boards be stacked with air gaps between them?
@@TrevorDennis100 When you move the lumber to a drying area, it needs to be 'stickered'. It isn't normally done as you cut it.
came here to say that about the dish soap. also, a sharp blade is your friend. if your blade starts wandering up and down, dull blade and replace.
"I watched half of the online tutorial, so I'm basically an expert" had me laughing! Beautiful mill you will make it work
Hey Matt, tie a small string to the feed leaver long enough to go the length you want, once it goes the length it'll pop the lever into neutral and you're good to go! (Assuming there's not too much momentum and it pops it into reverse, because that's not ideal!)
Or mount a micro switch or push button to the trolley to stop the motor travel
Just remember, you have to show sawyer work quite often. We have to have our fiber.
Honestly, the sawmill is great for time-lapse stuff. It's good filler videos to put out between projects. Whole channels are dedicated to milling so it's definitely got an audience!
Matthew Cremona comes to mind for me. Do I watch him cut up big logs, oh yes I do.
Plus eventually we will see Matt put the wood to use on his house.
Matt you may need to get a moisture meter to how green the logs are and a metal detector to find nails in the logs so you don't dull blades.
Not just nails, but buckshot too.
Barb wire, chains
They are more expensive, but Matt Cremona shifted to using carbide teeth blades...and they work well enough to cut through metal. he has this video and many others on that czcams.com/video/euVanVFtsww/video.html
Here is another person who used carbide blades and what they thought after hitting nails and not even realizing it czcams.com/video/f7ho_zBy8h4/video.html
They have some good inexpensive hand helds like security .
@@kevinandrew1361 I have two of them and did a video on their effectiveness, the larger wand one is definitely better and more sensitive czcams.com/video/rEM6m1enNIM/video.html
You may enjoy watching the girls milling timber on Lumbar Capitol Log yard. They often show how to’s and techniques for the Woodmizers, both 15 and 40. The colour changes in the first cut showed the fungal splatting, which is nice.👍😁
Thank you Matt for sharing this! The inaugural edition of Lumber Creek. If you want to make more like this I will watch them for sure.
Sawing lumber is addictive pretty soon you’ll find a giant pile of boards outside your property that are going to start rotting if you don’t use them, so take care of them at cover the top. I like using old sections of steel roofing with a couple nails and that does the trick. Good luck.🎉
Great to hear you've managed to make this your full-time occupation, Matt. It's incredibly rewarding to see you succeed at what you love doing, and I look forward to following your progress for years to come.
I appreciate that!
@@DieselCreek Happy St Patrick's day matt if you celebrate it & a big Slainte ( irish for cheers ) from donegal ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇲🍺☘️

15 months for equipment is insane. Great video Matt. We all need hobbies to escape reality.
Need hobbies to escape the wrath of the Biden administration
Ah yes! 2nd bolt removed from a shipping bracket is cross threaded. Made in the good old US of A
lol after all said and done, that " hobby " is closer to 10G lol it's more of an investment than a hobby.
@@TheLoxxxton I thought that as well! Still, if it were Chineseium bolt would have been stripped clean, head would have been round and the blade would have snapped!😄
@@TheLoxxxton Probably 100% was made in the good old US of A but put together with Chinesium hardware
Tip on work-tactics: Place the skidsteer so you can toss the waste products on the forks and the products against the workshop wall. This way, you'll facilitate work by making it easier to remove waste products, no need to place the actual products to a better drying place, and you also increase safety so you won't fall on the waste.
I would also consider moving the engine control switch (ignition switch) to the operator's panel for safety and convenience.
Nice mill, Matt.
I've heard it is a good idea to get a metal detector to run over your logs to findAny nails, fence wire, staples, etc. Blades are not cheap.
That's what I was thinking, turn the whole thing around so it throws the sawdust, slabs, and cut lumber out to the loader.
Yes, Matt I love watching you saw that lumber up. It’s one of my favorite things to do is watch how the woodgrain reveals itself, which is very important especially if you’re making furniture or some kind of wooden project. Wood grain is very important. I love looking at it nice job, Philip.
I have a feeling one day we will see a video of fitting an electric motor on that enormous door!
He'll use that big Detroit engine lol.....fastest garage door opening ever
first thing that came to mind. that door needs a motor ASAP
Once you have had a motor to open that door you will only use the manual mode when there is no power Matt.
Congratulations on the saw. My best friend bought a wood miser. After he had it for a couple of years he suffered 2 severe strokes and decided to sell it. I know it broke his heart.
He is in his late 70s and sits in a chair and looks at all the projects he collected for these days before.
Take nothing for granted.
Be safe with that saw.
Cheers
Terry
Another great video Matt! Thank you for how diligent you are with cranking out new and interesting content!
Matt has the biggest toy box in the world 😂. I'm here for it!
Do not forget Andrew Camarata.
Now you need a solar kiln
@@priestley749 youre right! Can't forget about Andrew
And Andrew camarata
But who got the most toys Andrew or Matt ????
I don't know about the rest of the industry but in wood turning we call those black or grey lines in the wood "spalting" which is a fancy way of saying mildew, which is cuased by wood sitting for a long time in a damp climate. . I know you will get plenty of safety and operational tips from us and here is mine, from an experienced woodturner (I make round things on my lathe) wear some kind of dust mask, even if it just to use up those old covid masks when cutting wood. Those fine wood dust particles will get in your lungs and can eventually cause bad breathing problems. You can still enjoy the fragrance of the fresh cut timber, and I agree, it is great.
P.S. Be sure ti keep a bottle of eye wash handy for those times a breeze comes along and blows that sawdust right in your eyes. I take many precautions for breathing and googles, face shield etc., and still occasionally get sawdust in my eyes and the eye wash is essential. Two pretty essential things in life, your lungs and your eyes.
As far as I'm concerned the videos you create transcend "working on heavy equipment for you guys". They've always been more of a "lifestyle that I wish I had" type of content, in which this falls right in line with, in my humble opinion.
You don't just pick up equipment just to get it running. You put it to use and also tour with the equipment that you have resurrected, to the vintage equipment shows and are part of a thriving community. You also provide inspiration (hopefully) to a younger generation of aspiring mechanics and JOATs to get off the gaming consoles and out there doin stuff that's real!
Hi Matt,
You struck gold with your first log, even if you don't know it yet. That's spalted wood, highly priced by furniture makers, and it makes for spectacular cabinet doors. If you slap it on this side of your dump truck, woodworkers from around the world will show up at your door with a hanging rope ready. Seriously, if you can't use it, sell it. It should bring top $.
How many of us are gonna buy it off of him and go there to pick it up?
Same thing with Letsdig18, tears down a trillion trees, best believe a lot of that is spalted, and when he burns it everyone said it's a waste, so he asks people to pick it up = Nobody comes and gets it.
@@ToreDL87 So basically: Money Talks, Bullshit Walks. 😁
Spalted wood isn't that special, go chop an oak tree down and then let it sit a winter on the ground. It's not as structural and it sucks as firewood but some dumbass from LA will buy it.
@@danielseelye6005 It would appear that way!
@@hulkhogan2113 Precisely, have dealt with spalted wood more times than I'd care to remember, always bad news for firewood.
But for dump truck duty it should be alright!
Matt, it's always nice to have slice of live videos, especially when you're enjoying yourself! Thanks for sharing and best luck with your mill!
I'm more into model railroading than sawmilling, but I can really relate to the excitement of unpacking and setting up a big new toy.
You can use a soft household brush -- like the ones that come with dustpans -- to dust off the freshly-cut surface, then use the same brush to just smoosh on some clean water to really bring up whatever grain you have. Then you'll know what stain or varnish you need. If your slabs are stored properly that water will dry off in no time.
And you are definitely going to need a sawdust-collecting system -- any old open-weave bag should work -- or your beautiful new dream shop will start getting sawdust tracked in and blown in before you know it. The collected dust can be dumnped or recycled or even composted.
Great stuff.
it might be worth it to bring us along while you learn how to use your sawmill. It gives those of us who haven't seen one in action an idea of how planks are made. It gives your viewers who own sawmills a chance to give you tips if you run into trouble. They'll probably give the same level of satisfaction that all the power washing videos provide. And, you might inspire someone who's in a similar situation, who's not sure if it's feasible, to say I can do that, and get one of their own. For me, it reminds me of watching This Old House with my dad when I was a kid.
From one Woodmizer owner to another, I can offer you a few suggestions.
Firstly, try to have the ends of the logs on the bed rails (or a close as possible). Logs with more stress (i.e. poplar trees that may have grown on a slope) will bow downward when you take wood from the opposite side. This will cause for boards with unequal thickness throughout their length.
Clamped properly and supported at the ends will prevent this unnecessary waste. Also, not taking a lot off of on side before turning to get an equal amount from the opposite side will also reduce bowing.
This is mainly in softer woods, not so much in the oaks.
Happy sawing!
Just to clarify, "try to have the ends of the logs on the bed rails" This means the bow should be an arch correct? (as opposed to being U shaped, with center of log touching rails, and ends of log in the air)
What's the tank on top of the machine for? Matt didn't seem to be using it
@@InsanePacoTaco Water tank for lubrication sawblade and coolant
That is the holding tank for dead tree farts. If you dont capture them you wind up with a shitty situation…
Actually, you try to avoid a bow by secure clamping. You can do this by cutting the logs to (or near) the length of the cross bed rails. Rails are spaced approximately 4' apart. If you have a 14' log, try to positon where there is a 1' overhang on BOTH ends and not a 2' overhang on a SINGLE end
Matt working on a new machine, not one older than him? What kind of heresy is this?
But it's always great to see your joy at getting into something, you're like a kid at Christmas. Its great to see this lumber you cut so long finally becoming timber (I think that's right in American speak) it's been a long time coming.
Appreciate your honesty and humility, few would admit to their mistakes the way you do. Also credit for putting that thing together without reading the instructions.
Can the saw go on the other side so it ejects waste away from the shop rather than into it? Seems a shame to mess up your beatiful new shop is all.
I am a fan. I am glad you waited for this mill, I also am a Fan of the Goonzsquad channel, they purchased the cheaper Chinese model and had nothing but problems with it. I hope you have tons of fun!
You might want to build a landing dock to set your logs on and then roll them from the landing dock on to your mill carriage. --- Easy to make one out of a slightly modified old trailer frame, this would be easy to move later also. --- Ron & Marilyn Hansen
As others have said , its spalted. No reason to apologize for doing something that makes "You" feel good. Everybody needs something that makes you feel happy and good and to relax. Anytime you want to throw in a saw mill episode I think you will find More people who approve than those who say no. Keep up the fantastic work making content. I do not know how the U Tube system works but I am glad i found a few channels I like. Keep it up.
Well said James,well said.
Advice: buy a 12" or 14" drywall taping knife to clean the saw dust off the log after you cut it. It will save you from getting slivers in your hands. Watch Mike on Outdoors with the Morgans. He has the same mill and has a LOT of cutting videos.
Clean your wood, use a pressure washer if needed. The less sand and dirt the better for your mill. Saves a lot of work changing and sharpening blades.
neat machine. We got bigger one at our sawmill. A lot more automated. Couple tips:
The initial contact between blade and log needs to be as slow as possible. Once blade is in, you can go faster. It minimizes risk of snapping the blades and causing wavy cut.
Run it with plenty of water/lubricant. Once you start noticing waves on cut logs then you gotta change the blade. We run ours about 90-120min each between switching.
Hey Matt, loved the video! Just a tip to help make sure your logs are nice and square, when you take your first slab off flip the log over so the flat side is sitting on the rails that way the top and bottom are square to each other, then when you go to cut the 3rd side of the log, take a framing square and set the long side down on the rail of the mill and slide the short side up to the already cut side,that way your log will be as close to square as you can get, it will save time trying to eyeball it and down the road when you go to make a finished product the board will already be square, hope this helps!
Good reply cousin! 😊
I started with the quarter turn method, originally. I'm doing the way you suggested now. Works very well and makes sawing smaller logs easier.
I need to reconsider my decision to build a mill using a chain saw. This looks like a sweet setup. Now I need to go take a nap. Watching your endless supply of energy, while fun, is exhausting.
Old Sawyer here. Gotta rag on you some but will make life easier.#1 attach your rails to the concrete ( it moved when you put the first log on it)#2 ease into the log real slow to start then speed up. Listen to the mill, it will tell you how fast to go. #3 be sure the log is on cross rails on both ends, this helps do away with warping. # 4 two back dogs and one on the front are plenty, saves time. #5 personally I would raise the rails up to about 30 inches, saves the back. #6 throw your scrap on the forklift, handle it once and be done. #7 do not put that spalted lumber on your dump truck, the local woodworkers will lynch you for sure. Keep up the good work and continue to learn and life will be great.
I personally enjoy all of the videos that you make for this channel. I find it both fun and educational. Please continue the excellent work that you do.
Keep the woodworking video's coming. Very relaxing to watch, show some of your wood projects.
Milling lumber is one of my favorite CZcams genres. I definitely want to see more Diesel Creek milling vids. Like that big pine log, you teased us with at the end here. I want to see it opened up and milled. It will be quite interesting to see your trees felled and milled for use on your property. Don't be hesitant, people will watch.
Wow that log had tons of Gorgeous grain and Paterns and colors Matt 😮 33:47 @Diesel Creek
Hi Matt , Just FYI invest in a hand held metal detector comes in handy to look for nails, hooks wire and steel that may be embedded within the log saves on blades....... you can scan the log before cutting.. cheers shouting out from Canada...
Also, power feed is nice, but every wood type has a different speed at which it cuts best. As a beginner you would benefit by using hand feed to get a feel for which wood wants what speed.
I really appreciate your time and effort in sharing these videos Matt, thank you. My only complaint is that this video could have been two hours long....I enjoyed the hell out of watching that! Please make more of those.
Noted!
😊😊😊😊
I agree. Love watching milling. It's very Satisfying as my kids would say lol
That is the exact model i was looking at purchasing! What a coincidence. Just showed the wife this video to lobby for purchase of one soon! I better hurry if 15 month wait. My logs are stacking up. Love ALL YOUR VIDEOS!
Congrats Matt on getting your WoodMizer Saw Mill.
I was equally excited along with you we as you unwrapped and assembled the mill !!😅
That strange wood grain pattern is I believe called spalting Matt! Well it is here in Europe. Operated a Wood Mizer 25 years ago in the woods in Shropshire. Awesome machines. 🤭🤔 It's definitely a long term investment that will repay you if you look after it!
The spalting is highly prized by woodworkers. He should find a buyer and not using them as to to throw away boards.
Good show and tell today! Unless your goal is to make lumbermill cuts, you can just make a primary cut and flip it 180 degrees and slab cut the log leaving the other edges rustic. A good table saw can finish the rest. Nice to see the Made In America label. Also good you brought up the boogered bolt threads publicly!
Good video I for 1 could watch you cutting all day for me it so relaxing with what I am going through at this moment hope you do put more wood cutting video on . And thanks for all the videos you have help me out
Great video as always Matt! Now you have me wanting one! I personally like the variety of videos you do. Equipment, the shop build, the equipment shows, the new Sawmill. Every one is interesting and entertaining! Keep up the great work!
It's going to be awesome to turn standing dead logs into dimensional lumber for the house you're going to build. There's something great about milling lumber from trees cut on your own land. Very cool, Matt. Looking forward to seeing this machine pay for itself!
Yeah... until the building inspector tells you that your house doesn't pass code because it was built with uninspected lumber.
Milling lumber isn’t boring to watch at all. If you do more we will
Watch! Keep up the good work, you inspired me to go out on my own and build my own auto repair shop! Thanks again for the awesome content
No really, run some asmr vids on it. I never regret any time on the mill
If it were boring there are a bunch of channels who would soon be gone!
This is one of those things I’ve always loved. Going to a local lumber provider I use I always enjoy seeing the mills, and the environment as a whole. Cleaning up a rough sawn walnut slab to see the beautiful grain is great but the enjoyment of actually opening the log, I can’t imagine. You should definitely share and take us along your journey, I think some Timelapse’s would be cool.
Hi Matt, have been watchin you for awhile! I think that first log you did is called spalted oak, yes very pretty! I too look at each board and marvel at the beauty. I used my spalted oak for sheathing instead of plywood, called it redneck plywood, put it up on the diagonal. You explain things like a shop teacher, my old gig!! Jack
Another great video. I would bet that whatever the content most will like it. Thanks for taking the time to film it.
Hey Matt I'm pretty sure most of your subscribers would enjoy you doing just about anything always a thumbs-up from me thanks for such a great Channel looking forward to see what you do next congratulations on your new sawmill truly hope to see more videos on it
Hey Matt you might want to attach some kind of box to catch the sawdust so you dont have as much to clean up and free oil dry for the shop
word
Congrats on finally getting your saw mill. One suggestion, I know you are enjoying the automatic feed, but in future you should keep your hands near the controls. You will invariably run into things like spikes and such that you will want to shut down immediately. Also, be mindful of the amount of sawdust you will be walking through. Looking forward to your adventures with this machine. I assume when you watched your video, you saw you knocked the base when loading the log, so may have loss your level.
I was thinking about a bracket to hold a bucket to catch the 'man glitter/organic floor dry'.
Also, won't be long before he decides sawdust in the shop is bad. The chute is blowing toward the shop wall and man door.
@@MrTthompson115 Yeah. It's too late now, but he should have mounted the system 180 degrees from where he did, so the saw dust would discharge AWAY form the building's windows and doors.🤣
@@johnsykesiii1629 I've never used one of these machines, but I've only ever seen them loaded from the side he was using.
@@v3124 I have no personal experience with them either. I was basing my comment on this: czcams.com/video/rBK5781UrwA/video.html,
but now I see it is not even the same brand.
Very enjoyable video, Matt. I like the variety of your content. Good luck with the sawmill!
We have a old circular mill and it originally was a kit and has a willys transmission for the carriage to run the cables and my dad had it converted to a shaft drive instead of pulleys and we have it behind the 60 horse Kubota tractor and it makes that thing work!
I love it! And I'd love to see you harvest all the wood you have been storing as logs on your property! It's not boring at all. Love to see the results. Keep it up!
With you Joseph on that request, thanks much Matt for sharing your journey with us.
Lumber capital log yard on CZcams has the Lt15 saw mill they would be happy to talk you through it.
Great episode Matt.
I milled on a dimensional mill for years. For every new job, I start with the worst logs that are easy to get at and cut some bolsters and stickers. 2nd make cribbing for the slash to easily trim it into firewood. When stickering place a sticker on each end to help prevent splitting from the end drying too fast. The width of your piles dictates the sticker length most mills have 4ft and my equipment 3ft wide piles worked best. Making these dimensions standard makes your piles neet and loading trucks and trailers easier. Placing your stickers on 2ft centers allows for stacks 8ft high because bolsters can be placed over stickers and make taller piles and straighter lumber when dry. I have seen so many get in a rush and not stack their lumber correctly and have a pile of kindling in 2 years when it has dried. Have fun!
I appreciate learning about this backyard sawmill. I have been thinking about getting one and this video really explains what's involved. I also wonder if a cheaper route would be an old sawmill off a farm, run by the belt pulley on my Farmall. Things to consider.
I also love how so many experienced sawyers chimed in with advice for Matt.
It would be really cool to see you make something (even a workbench or storage shelves) going from log to finished product, I love your channel and always look forward to the next video!!
Matt doesn’t matter if you show the sawmill every time you use it or anything else you do it all entertaining. And I for one look forward to watching your post every week. It gives me a chance to see what a friend who always has a contagiously great attitude is up to. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
C.DODSON, WHAT A PERFECT DISCRIPTION OF MATT; A CONTAGIOUSLY GREAT ATTITUDE!
Keep the wood dust in a bag to dry the oil that falls on the workshop floor, it's much better than a rag. 😁
You get a thumbs up from me just for posting a video, Matt, everything you post is fun and enjoyable and I get excited every time you get a new toy it feels like we’re all getting a little bit of a present at that time like you said, we all need something that relaxes us and let us kick back and forget about the world for a minute. Very cool that that is something you enjoy doing plus you get a beautiful product to play with afterwards. Can’t wait to see what you build with it.
Matt I started watching your channel for the cool old Iron you save/start/use. I stick around because I love to see what you are up to next. The shop build, although outside of your channels purpose, is one of my favorites. So please just keep making videos of your day to day stuff. I think most of us just love to see what you are up to. ✌
Yes, I enjoyed that! There are many channels that mill for their homestead, but I think that they're a different genre than you, Matt. It's okay to film according to your projects, not every video is specific to the single piece of equipment , but instead to the individual project. Do as you see fit as you know we'll all watch you expand your shop and properties. Have fun and be careful! William
There are sooo many sawmill videos online. I wonder why this guy didn't feel that he could use some advices. For instance: Use a pressure washer to clean the logs while having them on the forks of the skid steer or loader. It will definitely help that the saw blades last longer 2) Use a metal detector! This will also help that the sawblades last longer. 3) Use ear protection! And sometimes even a dust mask! 4) Take care of the sawdust. Don't let it sit on the ground near the sawmill and pile up. There's a lot one can do with sawdust. 5) Don't put the boards/slabs in your way. 6) Don't burn the slabs/rind boards because those can definitely at least become fire wood. It's t's useful biomass and one can sell the slabs and even the sawdust (although I would press big pellets out of the sawdust).
This reminds me of pulling "green chain" in the Pacific Northwest when I was 19 in 1990, only on a way smaller scale. Such a useful example of American ingenuity. Thank you for the memories.
Hey Matt, big fan of the lumber cutting. I would love to see at least one more video especially of you learning to use it. I'm hoping to get a mill in the next few years and I'd love to see the rest of your journey.
Hey Matt. Congrats on the new mill. I've had mine for a couple decades. Your log was spalted, which is early decay caused by fungus, makes for some really interesting grain. If you really want to show off the grain, wet the slab and scrape the excess water off with a 12" drywall knife. Wood is much easier to mill when it's wet, go slower when the logs are dry. Not sure if you got a sharpener with it, but you may want one. You really can't cut very much per blade otherwise. Have fun! -Jon
Fancy seeing you here! Fun fact: Your channel was my first exposure to such consumer available mills and I've liked them ever since!
Answers that question. John or Jon?
High Jon!

Always like seeing wood cut up for building something. A sawmill is great to have and I would enjoy seeing some more videos of seeing other types of wood cut for different projects.
I'm really happy for you Matt, I like the smell of fresh cut wood too, and the smell of wood smoke, I'm a country spirit that loves the convenience of of small city life.
I have watched quite a few YT videos of people using various Woodmizer mills, but this is the first time I have seen what a neat job they make of packing them up for transport, and someone assembling the mill. Thanks Matt for that. One thing that always strikes me as strange with Woodmizer mills is that they are designed so that the sawdust comes out the side that the operator stands. Some other mills on the market have the blade running the other way so that the sawdust is on the opposite side to the operator.😀🇬🇧
Good to see you Matt, Sawmill sounds like a good investment with the Price of a Filleted Tree these Days!
You are living the good life Brother, God Bless You . I have been watching since the Early Days from the Garage and knew you had a good thing. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir
I had a good chuckle an jump when you opened your blade, hey ya learn something new everyday!
My dad actually had the very first Woodmizer ever made. Just recently sold it because he was getting a little to old to use it.
That was a beautifully spalted log to do your first cut on Matt. Folks pay top dollar for planks off logs like that 🙂
No better way to start a weekend off. Matt I love what you do keep up the excellent work.
Definitely enjoyed the video and looking forward to seeing more of these kind of videos as well as what ever you want to put out for us.🤘
Congrats Matt. Great job with the mill. A lot of good advice from guys that have run these.
You got a love todays world😂 15 months is insane! Great video Matt!
You can always add a few of these vids in the mix, there is something very satisfying about watching wood being milled, your wife is going to see all the wonderful wood grains as you work the machine to the point of you having other projects or even better her. Always fun to watch Matt, it's been a blessing to watch you grow and to see things come to fruition, just wait until you get that wood boiler, nothing will ever go to waste. You'll be investing in a few good chainsaws but man they are worth it, go check out Joe on "Northern Seclusion" he's had his new wood burning boiler for a few months now in Minnisota running it 24/7 in 30 below weather, that'll give you a glimpse of how much energy they can produce.
Thats beuty at its best Im so Glad You bring us along love your channel brother stay connected!!
Always a good day when a diesel creek videos out
That is EXACTLY the brand and model mill I’ve been drooling over for a while now. I REALLY hope that you do more videos of using it showing the learning process of using it!
Based on what you've seen, still interested or thinking on another make & model?
I've got the lt40 super, I can't imagine running the mill without the accuset 2 computer and hydraulics to move the log around.
@@hulkhogan2113 yeah, I’ve seen guys using a mill and it had hydraulics to move the log, so much faster but I’m sure they’re crazy more expensive.
I have been watching now for over a year, i have a earthworks business in Australia and try and do all my own maintenance and make my own trailers etc. It can feel lonely travelling on your own path like this and your videos make me feel like im not the only guy living like this haha. Plus your videos have a chilled vibe to zone out and enjoy
Big ups to all the Aussie Diesel Creek fans
Really nice acquishion!!!That sawmill can be the ultimate power tool!
I like everything you film, I have also shared your channel with many of my friends. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Matt it’s your laid back presentation of your videos that shine through, i enjoyed the wood sawing as much as anything so keep keep on doing your thing and subscribe everyone a great channel to relax and unwind
There's a lot to learn about milling lumber, I'm sure you can make a good series of this and take us along as you learn.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
I was almost as excited as you.Sawing lumber has always been one of my dreams.You may be surprised at your viewers response to an occasional sawmill video
I would like more mill content! I know you figure things out quickly. Once you feel like you have a handle on this milling, please do a how to video. I know there are others, but I'd like to see yours.
Out of the woods CZcams channel is the channel you kneed to watch he has a wood mixer 70 and is very informative. Also has a saw blade that he recommends
I second that! OOTW is a laid back saw miller.
I third that motion, OOTW, knows his stuff.
Enjoyable as always Matt. Really enjoy your content, no matter what it is.
I enjoyed the video and seeing your first attempt at cutting a log -- very successfully, I'd say. I like seeing what the wood looks like after it's cut, too. I understand you wanting to just use it without always filming, but I hope you will share some cutting videos with us now and then. Enjoy!
Congrats! I have always wanted one of these. You have the woodlot to make good use of it.
Matt, I had a cousin that built a saw mill. The bearings for the blade guide came from scrap from a local hospital after they stripped it down. He used car tires for blade pulleys, and it didn't do bad, but he just wasn't completely happy with it, so he sold it. I was in a Home Depot when I met a guy that was looking for parts to finish it up. It turns out that this was the guy that bought my cousin's saw.
🤣🤣😂😂👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦...great story
I always wanted a portable mill. Nice to see you be able to purchase something you need brand new and not have to tinker with it for days. Next you’ll be mounting it on a trailer and doing some mobile milling!
29:50 That discoloring in the wood from fungus is called spalting.
congrats man,a little trick I like to use when cutting logs is find the smaller end of the log and make a mind map of what you can get out of the log ,like a 4X4 in the middle and 2 - 2x4 on both sides then maybe 2- 1x6 on the other sides if that makes any sense
Mat I watch your channel because you have a variety of things to watch, But no worries I like seeing the sawmill work also. Keep up the good work I love your channel.
Rig a 5 gallon bucket on the saw dust output and you can eliminate a lot of the walking area mess while creating filler for a compost pile TN 🤠🤠🤠
Love it Matt! It is mesmerizing to watch a saw at work.
