Your scrap pile is nicer than my lumber store.
This vacupress guy was a great guest, so passionate about his process, he really sold it!
Very educational on how raw boards are taken care of
The vaccupress was really interesting, great video Matt, thanks for sharing.
It is good to see you use the scrap material Matt. I also watch another channel where all his 'rubbish' is stacked up on a burn pile and then burnt. I am sure there are some people who would appreciate picking up unusable wood for their wood heaters.
Awesome video.. Pretty sciency how the boiling point can be lowered like that under vacuum.. I know , last time i stuck the shopvac on the wifes tushy her blood boiled pretty fast. That kiln is insane.. thanks for sharing..
Thank you for sharing this process with us. You never seem to run out of energy, or good nature.
Thanks for sharing your adventures Matt . Always good to what you are doing.
Rosa String Works uses a vacuum press. The wood goes in a bag and gets clamped by vacuum pressure. It's quite amazing how well it works. I had never heard of a vacuum kiln until Matt explained it. Awesome tech.
Quite a treat seeing the whole kiln loading/unloading process, thanks!
So, Matt's eventual shop build needs space for a covered sawmill, AND space for one of these vacuum kilns, AND .....
WOW, glad I watched this as it is on the next level. Thanks
This has been cool to see from tree to product, thanks for sharing
Good to see you making stuff again.
Incredible machine!
That was an extremely interesting video. The wood is beautiful!!!
Wish my scrap pile looked that sweet LOL Great vid and loved the walk thru on the kiln WOW
Holy haircut, dude! I don't think we've ever seen it that short.
Must be that Minnesota lice outbreak we heard about...
Summer weather has arrived
Great video Matt. That’s an awesome wood kiln. Thanks for sharing. Gd Bless.
Very interesting video.Loved it, thank you.💕
Always enjoy your videos, very helpful.
Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Another great video, Matt. I watched to the end and appreciate all the work AND all the editing. These videos don't produce themselves. But I'm probably going to have the only negative comment on this page: I always thought that it was more important TO produce beautiful items on your workbench, rather than that the items were produced ON a beautiful workbench. A well-built workbench is essential to good woodworking. Yes. But so are chisels and hammers and saws. And I've never refused to use a sharp chisel because the handle was not made of a rare, imported hardwood. But back to the positive. Great video, and I learned a lot. Thanks again, Matt.
With a hernieided bulding disk, looking you lifting those logs around, my back hurts even more!
Really interesting. In regards to the less twist/cup does that mean that it will stay flatter over time vs a similar kiln dried or air dried piece even after surfacing? Thanks!
Fascinating
Another great video Matt
@ 29:27 looks like you need some more stops .
Have you tried using a cordless drill to power the winch to move the saw ?
Wow, Matt, you got your hair all gussied up for us!
If I knew we wouldn't keep moving with the Air Force I would definitely try to get in on the workbenches. They aren't going to be super easy to move cross-country every 2 years lol!
Thank You for your service!
Easier than you might think. The two top slabs are lag bolted to the base so they come off easily, about 100 lbs each. Then the base is comparable to something like a dining table.
@@alanlillich6738 My mom has an old desk that probably weighs more than those slabs. Moved it all over america, although it's much easier when someone else has to do the lifting.
Cool the warehouse and forklift haven't seen them in a while, loving the renovation series though!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
I have been considering designing a small scale version of this vacuum drying rig. Something able to dry 1 or 2 tables in a shop
Yhanks Matt, interesting
Being born and raised in Vegas, the big pieces of wood are awesome. The only thing to get that big out here are maybe cottonwoods and they're rotten in the middle.
Looks like it's almost shovel time for the saw dust next to the wall. Now if you only had somewhere to dump it... 😂
Awesome
I see all of those crazy burl & stump end cutoffs.
I wonder what's waiting inside of them on my lathe.
See ya next week.
I'm going to guess a bowl of some sort. :)
@@MAGAMAN Closed minded thinking. Bowls for sure. Square ones, round ones, oblong ones. Vases, freeform turnings, chess pieces, ink pens, candleholders, baseball bats, Christman ornaments, kids puzzles. Sounds like you need a little more imagination. ;-)
I suppose the key question regarding the drying process is does it stay flat over time? Obviously a major problem with already twisted/strained lumber is that it will go all over the place with annual moisture cycles.
I could be wrong, but I believe the wood stain and sealers act as a barrier that prevents the wood from absorbing moisture, which is why they mentioned letting the wood sit after drying is pointless.
As a wood turner I would love to come help you clean up your scrap pile!!!
Você ficou muito melhor de cabelo cortado. Bem melhor. 🥰🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏
What do you do with all the sawdust!
Why don't you use a cordless drill instead of a hand crank?
I like that VacuPress
That's a NICE job you got done there, with the scrap wood pile recovery! Btw, not that it matters, but what happened to your hair? Preparing for summer? Lost a bet with Donovan? Looks good, just radical change.
The weather finally warmed up. Didn’t need my insulation anymore
Awesome! When I was in woodshop I was told that a lumberyard took 8 years and a kiln took only 6 years. The last time I did construction, the wood was so green that when I drove in a nail, sap oozed out around the nail.
In the electronics industry, there have also been amazing improvements since 1920. Unfortunately, manufacturers refuse to build anything designed after 1988.
Holy Moses just saw a kiln press on sale for 100k and it’s used! How does one run a business with input costs that high? Is there enough demand to cover that costs? Super interesting video.
Depends on the volume of your business. A machine like this one can pretty comfortably dry 50k bf of 4/4 in a year. Closer to 70k if you push it and keep it running continuously. With a value add of $1-2/bf; payback is 18-24 months
She’s a beaut, Clark
Do the clips with your old trailer include some of my slabs from late summer 2019? The kiln must have been pretty new.
yes, that would have been the spalted silver maple. I think it would have been about a year old back then
I recently made a fireplace mantle cover and a pair of bookcases from two of those slabs. Amazing abstract art that came from a tree.
Is that tree behind you the tallest one from nys? If so, how do I get a piece of it ;-)
What do you do with the unusable scraps, do you have a burn pile or what?
So when is your vacupress being delivered?
❤
If I remember correctly, water boils at 4 inches of mercury at 52 degrees F instead of 212 at standard air pressure. I may be slightly off on that.
When you band up your orders you should be wearing safety glass's . My sons friend was cutting banding & when it snaped it came up & hit him in the eye. He was lucking he didn't loose his eye sight , please be very careful .
Where are you selling your workbench kits?
The wood looked a lot lighter coming out than when it went in.
So when will you start taking new orders for a table kit?
I should have waited to the end of the video to ask that question, because you answered it. But are you going to do the pre-orders again?
@@jtw131a yes, will be preorders based on what I think I can get out of the logs I get
Matt, did it end up taking 16 days to dry, or is that just when you picked it up? Earlier in the video Eric had said ~9 days
16 days for the complete cycle. 1 day to warm up, 11 days to dry, eric runs it an extra 3 days to be sure the core is dry, and 1 day to cool off.
I like the trimmed beard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO MATT when is your kiln scheduled for delivery? lol
lol my capital is slightly preoccupied
Matt, “Another batch bites the dust, Yea another batch bites the dust uh ha” Or something like that. You dont let much go to waste do ya. You probably end up buying firewood cause you use all your scraps….haha!
👋
So the bench kits are just the raw dried slabs?
Basically. It’s the lumber package
6:50: Just say, "A LOT."
I guess it's officially spring. You got a haircut. I have no excuse anymore.
Seems we skipped spring and jumped right to summer
It makes the boards flat, but do they have more tension in them?
This is what I was wondering too. Flat is great, unless it wraps around my neck when I try to cut it lol
@36:50 Matt have you considered using edge protectors underneath the steel strapping?
I’ll use protectors on lumber that is closer to finished. So much material will come off of these that any edge damage is irrelevant
@@mcremona Got it....Keep up the Great Work...
Cheers from San Francisco.
Lovely interesting video
Anyone know pricing on having 10 of those 5 or 6” slabs dried in one of these?
You will have to find someone that has one and ask them.
I think with matt's technical skills an know how to weld I'm optimistic that he can do it diy his own vacupress the. Only expensive parts is the vacuum pump but he can find it in junkyard for food manufacturing equipment and the heater that is simple as that he can choose the intake for the vac min of 1.5 inch manifold fm.the Phil's.
Pump is the cheap part. The stainless steel box is the expensive part
@@mcremonaJust curious, is it not possible to build it from mild steel?
Longevity becomes a concern. It will rust and deteriorate over time
@@mcremona Yeah but using industrial paint should work!
I’m on it as we speak..
I would be interested in knowing the weight change from the drying process. It appears approximately 50% of the moisture is removed. Are the boards easier to move after?
I don't think it's quite that large of a reduction but its pretty noticable.
🇺🇸👍👍👍OK
I'm hungry and the scraps look like French fries
Where's Donovan? I'm used to seeing Donovan every time I see you... unless you're drinking wine with Lindsay.
if only I lived in America 😥
It's too bad they don't make a short model one over 64" wide
That would be such a great size
I’m kind of surprised you haven’t put an electric drive motor on your mill yet.
Gives people something to complain about
Matt's going to do that next year...
Just like I want to have my car painted. I've had the car for 30 years and still hasn't been painted yet. Maybe next year...
Degradation from degrade
Am I the only one watching this and thinking, "I can haz off-cuts plz?"
no because I gave them to a turner
What a pity having to cut off..
Ger rid of the hand crank and use a cordless drill.

36t of pressure would crush that aluminium, you’ve got a decimal place wrong in your metric conversion.
Matt, I love you, but please... bend with the knees. Take it from someone who has had back issues, don't lift from the waist. Learn the basic squat or sumo deadlift form, and then use those principles to lift the giant pieces.
