Nice! 👍
The look/grain of the wood at 16:15 is beyond beautiful, and I just wanted to say thank you for showing us, because the chances of me ever seeing that in real life, is slim to none !
Very few gatherings of people make me say I want to be there but I definitely want to go to this event. Especially after I saw that grill full of chicken.
May be an older video with bonus material, but looking at the quarter sawing of the sycamore really helps. Thanks for sharing this Nathan
thanks eric,
Quartersawn sycamore makes pretty lumber. Thanks for posting this, Nathan.
Thanks for watching buddy 👍👍
Beautiful grain in the sycamore, great vidja Nathan.😁👍
A workshop is a great learning opportunity. And it being outdoors is an extra added bonus.
Agreed
What a video. Loved the QS Sycamore grain.
Thank you Nathan!
thank you Rich,
Thank you ... beautiful wood, I am so glad that God made trees of many many types and beauty
Me too!
One of my all time favorite videos. Love looking at that beautiful lumber.
Thanks buddy
I love the comment at the beginning...Thank you for sharing this video
Wow that was one hell of a massive BBQ and beautiful country you can see the pros doing it so much quicker
16:16 😳👍The beauty of nature hiding in trees, revealed.
👍👍👍
Just,like the Vietnam
Lots to learn on here. Some really pretty wood too.
That 20” jointer... ❤️❤️❤️. I guess humidity down there isn’t as bad as here in Maryland. An open sided barn would mean flash rusted cast iron tables for sure here.
Awesome that you have these gatherings with a bunch of people sharing the same passion for timber. Good stuff.
-Ben
I'm pretty sure the humidity is at least as high as in Maryland. Hence, the wax going on the table.
Nice to see some young blood taking part in the learning process. I am at the age that his would be a social event as I noticed I'm not alone... Well done..
Lots of awesome equipment there! #goals
Goals here 2👍👍👍
The guy from Hobby Hardwoods in Alabama, I think his name is Robert, he's taken the time to answer a few of my question's, really knowledgable guy and very nice.
yes sir, one in a million,
There's a lot of knowledge gathered around that Wood Mizer.
Experts. 👍
This was a very good video, Nathan. I loved seeing the quarter sawn sycamore. This would make anything made out of wood beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. Have a great weekend.
Thanks appreciate it
Thanks for the video! Interesting on the quarter sawing
yes sir,
Man that Sycamore log was Huge!!
Beats the crap out of the garbage offered by the Depot!
That looks like fun and informative
I am a big fan of QS Sycamore. I love the grain pattern.
Same here
Nice, my favorite tree. Love the bark, n the huge leaves, and the height!!
Thanks so much!
@@OutoftheWoods0623 No, Ty so much for the time and efforts! You make high quality videos, and do it with eloquence! Your fruit is good and that is obvious! Keep up the great work brother!
Neat!
Nice looking sycamore. I like the push block on the LT70. It makes it appear that you don't have to raise the blade(machine) up as high to clear the boards off and you're back to cutting quicker. Very nice.
thanks for watching,
This is greatness
👍👍
Wow, just wow Nathan...i bet you liked that bbq chicken! They like vinegar down south so I hear...bet that was good...
I always have liked sycamore its a beautiful wood.
Quarter sawn sycamore my favorite species wish we had some here in the Adirondacks, been a sawyer and cabinet maker for over 20 years only seen 1 in all that time, don't even see any in the lumber yards..
Makes me want to go make something out of sycamore, nice video.
Go for it!
Dang that was some pretty wood there at about 16:00. I could have looked at it all day. Thanks

Hello Nathan, I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I'd like to sincerely thank you for sharing this part of your life with us viewers. I'm a retired Residential Electrician, on disability,(heridetary bone condition called Epiphesial Displasia. I've had my right hip replaced twice, and am overdue for replacement parts, and the left side needs done as well. Covid messed things up, as I was supposed to get my surgeries this year.) I've always wanted to get a saw mill, as I love woodworking, but I guess this is the next best thing:)
My question is this: Being as the blade on the mill runs through both sides of the log, Why is there not a debarker on both sides?
Also, on a side note, I've recently found another channel, on CZcams, Sampson Boat Co. If you want to see some amazing joinery, check it out. He's rebuilding a 110 year old wooden sailing yacht.
Al Taylor I imagine that as the blade only "enters" the log on one side, the de-barker's job is to clear the cutting area of debris which could damage the blade and / or be dragged into the wood. The opposite side of the log is where the saw blade "exits" so any foreign matter would be expelled away from the log being sawn. I’m sure Mr Elliott will correct me if I’m wrong.
Great aerial shots as usual, and exquisite wood graining on the sycamore, which is almost considered to be a weed here in the UK, as it seeds so readily.
Great stuff Nathan. It looks like some of them Good Old Boys have traded their six shooters in for tape measures on their belts ! 👍🏼🏴
Well said
I was given some sycamore as firewood. Green rounds which refused to be split. I only managed to get a little home. It was too heavy. The other name for it is 'London Plane'. It will take 2 years to season.
That Q. sawn Sycamore is really nice, I could do with some of that book-matched for some guitar bodies.
This is crazy, but one night I noticed someone in my neighborhood was throwing away an old bed, and there were two good sized planks. They were tone sprayed so it was hard to tell what it was. I figured it was probably maple. I came back with a Subaru wagon, popped those planks on top and brought 'em home. Danged if they weren't quartersawn sycamore. I made a nice table out of it. It took me a few years before I figured out what species it even was. That was a good haul.
Go for it. I am currently making a through-body bass guitar. The neck is sycamore that I got from a supplier in Sussex, UK. That wood is so dense that I may struggle to reduce the overall weight. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like though.
This is a downward spiral. I spent a while making 1/4 sawn sycamore stuff and it always twists. Save yourself the time and effort. It's beautiful.. agreed. But def not neck wood.
These videos are so awesome. I really enjoy them. Thanks for all your hard work!
@@davidjohnson00001 I spent a few years using a very stable version of sycamore. It's a twisty wood that does not work for necks, IMO.
@@rdesutter76 Thanks for the advice, but that is why I have laminated the neck. It is two pieces of well-seasoned sycamore with tigerwood in the middle. Still pretty heavy but I like to experiment.
Very interesting to 😊🍵🍵👍
Thanks buddy
Would you plan a video to go over what was demonstrated in this work shop? I'm sure there are lots of details that would make for a great video. Thanks!
A bunch of older gentlemen standing around watching one man do the work.... I think we have our answer to:
"This is how lumber is made at a sawmill."
You credited some folks at the end of this video with one being mentioned as Gene Wengert. We’re always fascinated to find other folks with our last name. If you know how to contact him, ask him if he’d like to share some of his family’s history with us. Have no fear, we’re not stalkers! Just retired midwestern folks.
Try Googling Gene Wengert The Wood Doctor
Great video Nathan and Thank You Kindly for sharing it with us! Better believe if I had a sawmill I would have been there! A place to learn lots I say and that Sycamore was beautiful! A Fine Sunday to you and your Family with many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pa.
Hardanger fiddle... some scandinavian influenced tunes there...
yes sir,
1:32 Even with the vacuum system, there's still plenty of sawdust to go around!---11:41 It might have been just an optical illusion, but that looks like the expensive quartz counter tops that most people favor for their kitchens.---16:13 While I appreciate the novelty of cutting the wood in that fashion, I still don't quite catch the practical applications of doing so.---Thanx for the new music! And, the re-visit!
yes, thank you for the support!
Alana Tolstad quarter sawn boards are not practical. It is a wasteful way to cut logs but the only way to expose the medullary rays in white oak and the lacewood pattern in sycamore.
@@dagwood1327 They're not practical to produce on a bandsaw mill with all of the log handling. The method illustrated here was to maximize the amount of quarter sawn lumber cut. Producing quarter sawn lumber and a swing blade sawmill is much easier as you don't have to move the log at all. It's just a matter of adjusting the sawing pattern to produce quarter or rift sawn wood.
@@dagwood1327 And...what would be the practical application for cutting it that way? I'm guessing something craft-specific?
@@alanatolstad4824 The quartersawn wood is more beautiful. It brings a higher price. It's prized for its appearance. This is species specific; not all wood looks great if quartersawn. As Gone Underground mentioned, oak and sycamore are good examples.
So are they cutting board for grain direction in the boards. Or just maximum yield on log.
So what did they do with all that lovely lumber?
Well I certainly see where the "wind chimes" came from.
How many square feet of shed was that? Are you going for something along those lines?
I really enjoyed watching that video Nathan, thanks for sharing it.
What really made it really pop was your choice of music. I'd love to know where you get it from as I'd happily listen to it even when not watching your videos :) Is there any chance you can share some links to the musicians please?
Thanks for watching. I have no idea who the artist are. It’s free music CZcams provides creators.
SRH - You can download Apps which will identify music/songs e.g. *Shazam - Musixmatch - SoundHound*
What is the name of the site to get all of the calculators at?
I thought they had a copier /scanner in the wood barn for a minute!
yes sir,
Just curious, are there any lady sawyers working as you do?
I’m sure somewhere
Do you sharpen the saw blade? Or, just replace it? Must be very expensive.
They can be sharpened a few times; Woodmizer charges about $5. The blades are actually pretty cheap (~$25) because there isn’t any carbide on the teeth
@@G0F15H Wow. I would have guessed a couple hundred dollars.
We have never seen you turn a log this way and cut on an angle to quarter saw.... Maybe you did not have log so big either ... ccccccclose to this size!!!!!! Now the new machine is that the planer they were showing because it sure was making difference with the slabs........ The open one or the square!!!!!! or are going to hold us in suspense!!!!!!!!
All that extra set up time and effort is why you pretty much never, ever see quartersawn lumber in a lumber store.
Yes. Good point
If you flatsaw your way through a log, the middle boards will be quartersawn. I guess they get diverted to specialty shops if they're really nice. I once found some curly maple at the Depot, so every once in a while something interesting slips through.
And that is why your friendly local sawmill is such a great place to patronize.
tooooooooo mannnnyyyyy commercials...whew. had to quit.
Welcome to modern CZcams. I have no control over ads now
@@OutoftheWoods0623Nope. when you dance with the devil, you step to his music.
Ok
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I didn't say that to be critical. It's just the nature of Google/CZcams. There is no negotiation - it is their channel and their rules and your opinions in the matter aren't of any interest to them. Whether the ads that accompany your content are in line with your values or that of the content of your channel, well...too bad. Etc. etc. For the most part it's usually not a thing, but...sometimes issues arise.
What commercials are you talking about? I did not see any. I have ABD ad blocker.
That is not a sawmill that is a want to be Mill. I worked in a real sawmill
You have a good one.
Me too. Upper office likes about 300,000 board feet in 8 hours on 2x4/2x6 with 9-10 foot studs.
