Incredible Homemade Lumber

The author does like to from scratch, kzhead.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

So enjoy watching you mill lumber 👍pretty much convinced me to get a sawmill lol. You put out good clean family oriented homestead type material and my family and I love it! Thank you

Wes, Your videos are genuine and I really appreciate the time and hard work that you put into them. I am just beginning to saw with my LT15 and you are helping me learn the protocols for moving the logs and sawing. Thanks!

Great video thanks Wes! Those 2 logs produced some lovely timber, and the tarpaulin shade is sure helping to keep the sun off! Regards from the UK - stay safe & well. 👍👍

The wood cutter is awesome. Thanks for sharing 5:12

Great video! On a side note, I use a bucket and a cheep painbrush to lube the rails. Just pour the ATF into the bucket and brush it on everything that's needed. That little bucket and brush have lasted me 5 years so far :D

That's a really handy portable sawmill setup that you have there my friend , it doesn't look like you'll never have too buy lumber anymore when you can make your own , thanks for showing us !

A hard day's work....sawyer, offbearer, camera man. Oh yeah.....tractor driver. Carry off the trash today too? Always enjoy your videos. Nice to be young.

I enjoyed watching that. It helps inspire those of us who have yet to invest in a mill. The irony of not having a wood structure over your mill is not lost on me 🙂

The cover tarp seems to be holding up well. I know it's rained a lot this summer there. Can you show how the saw blade is set down for each cut? Also how you set depth of a cut. This was another well made video.

It seems that's a one man business, this gentleman works at easy, no hustle and with the tractor he does very well, i wish the best sir in what you trying to achieved, all your videos are amazing,

It's been decades since I've been around fresh cut lumber or cutting wood but just watching this I can smell it just like I was there. Love that smell.

All that lovely timber, just makes my mouth water.

Great looking lumber. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

My back is killing me, LOL, it's true my back is a mess. Watching you guys I truly feel for you. Awesome job, can't wait to see the end result!!

great video. thank you for the time and effort. I'm looking at different mills to buy but I am a green horn so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Your content helps me. cheers, Chuck

Man you really hit the jackpot on interest in milling your own wood with this lumber market craziness. Here I am almost a year into watching you mill logs as city slicker..................

Whelp, you've inspired me to do some of my own cutting of natural materials. We have 6 dead old-growth cedars on my son's property, and rather than letting him just burn the "brush", I've been making cedar "cookies" (rounds) by cutting branches crosswise on my band saw. I can cut them about 1/4" to 3/16" thick, and up to 4" across. I'll be doing that with some sycamore, and possibly some maple and red oak in the near future, as that tropical storm that went over brought down some sizable limbs. My favorite so far is crepe myrtle cookies, which are very white wood. Thank you for your videos, your tips and the inspiration! :)

Nice work sawing those 2 by 4's Wes. Looks like the tarp is doing it's job, now all you need to do is to get a little steady five mile per hour breeze and your golden! It's hot alright mostly 92 degrees with 100% humidity; then it rains but the humidity stays at 100% and there is no relief. Lookin forward to the fall and some cooler dryer weather. Great video, thumbs up.

Hey Wes, missed seeing your son today !! Always enjoy seeing him from time-to-time !! Good looking boy - PTL !!

You are an amazing woodmillsaw worker! Like your footage very much! Skilled!

I enjoyed watching. I even could feel the smell of fresh cut pine. Thanks from California

Leave the cap on the bottle of oil and drill a small hole, 3/16 or so and it works well for oiling the tracks.

Been watching sawing videos alot while my mill is on order, watching manual mills makes me sooooo glad I ordered fully hydraulic

Love your videos, you always try to explain what you are doing and why. Suggestion: Save your liquid dish washing detergent bottles, put your oil for your saw in them, they have a leak proof top and dispense a nice fine stream, no muss no fuss no waste or extra oil around.

Sawing videos are always relaxing. Great camera angles 👍👍🔥🔥

Thanks for sharing this video. You have your own sawmill lumber production🤗👌

Love working with a sawmill. Enjoy the process of making lumber. I would agree to some extent on saving the sharpness of the blade but board feet is money too. Great job and thanks for sharing!

Oui! You're back 👏🏽👍🏽

Hey Buddy, You know there are felt pads on the legs of the saw head that you take off and saturate with oil that will keep those rails oiled. I can only imagine the oily mess you have with all that oil and sawdust on the side of your mill. I must compliment you on how far you have come as a sawyer. I remember that first mill on the ground. Love the videos.

Great work FLR!

You got it down pat. Great video as always!

Besides the milling expertise, excellent camera work.

Loved watching you cut the wood . 👏👏👏

I wish I lived close enough to get a load of the laps from you to build a shed with.

Really satisfying to watch. Thanks for the video.

Dude that is great!

Great video and editing, thanks for sharing!

Young man you are certainly saving money bye cutting your own lumber especially these days lumber prices are thru the roof! Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless

You are a person of work. You can do anything if you are good at it

It is fascinating to see how you get the lumber Yeil to improve by the way you cut what you cut and when you cut good job.

I love the sent of fresh wood milling! My first job for 18 years was working at the lumberyard near my home! Love your work!😀 Cheer's from Montréal!!🌈

I enjoy this video. Will you some add to show what to 'build' with the logs? Maybe a very nice table or whatever else you prefer?

Hebat kerja sendiri mampu selesaikan semuanya.... Sungguh istimewa. Salam sukses selalu saudara...

One more thought , by designing the cutting assembly the way j suggest it would olso eases the force needed to push the assembly it will became self feeding ( partially) REGARDS enjoying your recording much Ziggy Good LUCK and good time

That grapple bucket is the bomb. It sure has made a difference for you in this summer heat I am sure. Super job!

Enjoyed your sawing video today !!

Awesome work and very nice lumber, take care stay safe and cool god bless

I enjoyed watching this video, you are doing good job man.

loved your video love to watch sawing lumber

Good work, Wes! You get a medal for doing it in this heat! I'm sure it's probably worse where you are, but here in Southeastern Pennsylvania we've got over 90 degrees with high humidity and heat index in the mid 100s. 🥵

Great job I have the same Mill great tips we work a lot alike 👍

Oh Lord I need this machine, so good.

I like your trick keeping all the boards on .I learn something new

I sometimes take thin cuts when taking off slabs, not to save boards. To save my back. I'm not as young as I once was.

Thank you for sharing this video. It is very informative.

Enjoy the videos. I have recently bought a mill and have a couple questions about how long to dry the wood?

I must say you have came along ways since you first started. By listening to good advice and learning from those occasional mistakes you have become quite the pro Sawyer. I am also impressed with that LT15 Go Woodmiser mill. Although the wide version on occasion I am sure could be useful. I am grateful we have a platform like you tube to enjoy content like yours Wes and only wish it could have been around 35/40 years ago. That I could have did something like this myself all my experience in so many fields over years. At least I have been able to pass some of the knowledge forward.

Wow ! That's a very nice Piece . 👍👍👍

Тяжелый труд,отличная установка ,великолепная работа .

Bottom boards were damaged by grappler. I'll be using my 48" forks on my tractor to pick up my boards. My tractor doesn't have a third controller of which I'm thankful for because instead of purchasing an $1800 grappler I bought a hook and pin set of forks for my john deere tractor. Most my trees are less than 20" in diameter so picking up a 12' black walnut log is no problem.

Wes, If you move the whole can't over 2-3 inches you will get the same result, and your boards are still in line. That's how i do it. I put a 1" x 2 or 3 in. board on the rail so the cant don't slide back

Really worth it buying such a machine that capable of turning a log into our desired sizes planks

Good job! Thanks for video, appreciate it!

Absolutely beautiful wood.

I can't tell the moisture content of the lumber you create from these logs, so I will ask this: assuming you have to dry the lumber, how long does it take? How do you avoid warping or bending?

Very nice work. Thank you for sharing.

You're doing it much better than my first like vedeo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

Can you please make a video of your log scale on your sawmill and how you use it. I see that around 20min 20seconds you make a thin cut to get the lumber you want.

Thx for your video's

Beautiful pine lumber ! Love watching U saw ! Do U sharpen ur own blades and also how long does water last that cools blade ?

That's great work, congratulations

Пилорама толковая .Рамщик мастер своего дела ,руки на месте ,приятно смотреть.

Good Morning!!! What do you do with the cutoff pieces? As always, great work!!!

Nice mill. Great machinery. How often does the blade need a sharpen / reset?.

древесина рыхлая- молодая......класс пилорама

Nice work and great video.

I really want to have this machine, very interesting video too.

Wow calidad de trabajo mi amigo congratulations excellent work

Learned a lot. Thx.

Brilliant is all I can say.

So a portable Band Saw sawmill requires more operator setup and management of the logs but to cut your board to your dimension it is a single cut. Whereas a Swing Blade sawmill not as much preparation to manage the log but it requires two cuts two cuts to make your board. So are band saw blades less expensive then a swing blade? Is there more maintenance associated with one type of sawmill then the other? I would think a person who has sizeable land and tree resources a sawmill is a good investment. I understand Big Box lumber prices are falling but can you trust the Big Companies, etc. Weyerhaeuser or Georgia-Pacific to not jack up the prices again or supposedly lumber shortages! Reminds me of the Petroleum industry.

That tree was about 27 years old. Very nice love from Kenya.

Awesome, watching from Elk Grove,California

Wahooooo!! Where have you been? Your fans are having withdrawal problems!! 😉😍🤩

well made video w/lots of angel shots to keep us interested.

Having shade makes all the difference. Like the covering, looks like awning material. In my teens, friends and I cut walking trails and always wanted a mill for treehouses!! Instead, built baby log cabins. 👍

I used to operate circular saw in a machining company... miss doing this..

Belo trabalho, que Deus proteja todos vocês

🤤.. Fresh pine plank I can smell it...Really satisfying video 👍

This kind of video is so satisfying.

Very nice 👍 From Cadillac Michigan

Se tivesse como eu compraria e traria pro Brasil essa serra fita é topp de mais . Parabéns pelo pelissimo trabalho.

Great job filming

Beautiful natural design of the wood! Btw, you look like Brad Pitt!👍

Prices at Lowes: 1x12x12 are $37. 10 of them would be $370. Along with the 2x4's you probably just produced about $500 worth of lumber at Store prices. Not bad for a morning's work.

Amazing❤❤

something so satisfying about this. Thanks for the awesome video, please be careful out there. Thee saw is very sharp and dangerous. Be safe!

I had a hunch that the lumber you were going to get out of that first log was going to be beautiful. I couldn't keep my eyes off those almost perfectly concentric growth rings. Turns out I was on the money.

Good work and great machines. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
