Thanks! Yeah Ill try to make a video soon on explaining the way we have everything set up. Thanks for watching happy New Years to you as well!

Thanks! I appreciate it

not sure witch one thanks john

Thank you!

Thanks!

The hydraulics are super fast definitely a big difference. I never ran a lt 40 but I had the lt35. Thank you!

Thanks, you too!

Thank you

I almost bought a frick about 4 years ago. It was/is a fantastic, running mill with one extra 52” (I believe) blade with buckets of spare teeth, good running Detroit diesel power unit and the fella was asking $4,200. I told him I was wanting to double check measurements and I’d be back the following week to take measurements of his mill so I could put in some concrete before we tried moving it that way we could just unbolt a section at a time at his place and transfer it to mine and set back in place and bolt it back down and together and two days later I had to have emergency surgery and was in the hospital for a couple weeks and when I got out and recovered enough to discuss it again, he had decided to keep it again. I did notice tho lately that he has not hardly run it much in the past year so I’m curious if he would be interested in selling again. How long have you had your Frick and do you like it? I know they are much more work than a woodmizer but the cost is a huge factor!! Take care brother and be safe around both the Frick and the Jeep! I think you and I would get along great! I’ve got 4 jeeps

@@1982MCI hi there a jeep gut also . The Frick mills are real nice mills . what size is it . and does it have tapered bearings on the axle , steel or wood . thanks john

We’ve been very busy and things are going pretty good still. Thanks for watching!

I know what you're talking about! When I'm operating, the worst thing is when the off bearer puts in ear buds.

Thank you I appreciate it!

Thanks! I’m still here just been hard to find the extra time to make videos but I’ll try to do more throughout the winter

@@pattonwoodworks Good. I love your work ethic which is a lot more scarce these days in your generation. Iv seen too many kids squandered opportunity with or with out family help.. Anyway keep it up.

thanks john

Yes the cedar smell is very strong but we hardly smell it anymore we’re so used to it. The reason for the rain and snow in the videos I make is because that’s the only time I have extra time to make videos lol. When it’s dry I just don’t have the time to make videos. My brother does all the wood turning I could ask him about making a video to post👍

Hey thanks! During this video I was using a 10 degree Kasco brand blade. I don’t really recommend them though, right now I’m using 739 from Woodmizer and love them they last way longer. Just depends on the mill you have as well for which type you can run

Thank you! Its a 30x60 building

I have not changed anything on it. It is the way the Lt70 is. It is very very handy to be able to use hydraulics no matter where the head is

Woodmizer made that change a couple years ago so the newer models have that ability now. I remember when I was ordering my LT 50 and talking to the woodmizer rep about that but I think they only made that change on the 70’s but I could be wrong. But it does help with the speed of things tho

probably 3 or 4 times that

Agreed!

I’m about 50 miles west of St. Louis Missouri

I’d love to have a electric motor on this mill but Production with electric is 3phase and that is out of the question for the time being.

@@pattonwoodworks electric also eliminates the potential to be mobile also, especially when its 3 phase. But if you know you will never move the mill, then it can be a great way to go

For red cedar we don’t sticker any orders. 95% of the orders are used straight off the mill. It’s not like oak where it will twist and warp all over this just shrinks 1/16-1/8” typically. Most people for the decks, planter boxes and fences we cut for are good with that. Some people who use for interior walls and woodworking projects let the wood dry for a few weeks before using

I don’t cut anywhere near that because we cut small red cedar logs and it’s just my dad and I cutting. We probably cut 500-1000 bf a day avg and I’m very happy with that we cut smaller custom orders. Ive cut for a group of people up north and they had 6 people helping cutting big logs and we cut 10,000 bf a day. The mill will cut it, that’s not the problem. The problem is having enough people and logs to keep up with it.

@@pattonwoodworks I understand, thats my point also, not only would you have to cut 2000 Bdft hour at over 16000 Bd/ft a day, and have the Log supply and the Man power and no breakdowns. I told him I was sure he miscalculated because I didnt want to accuse him of lying.

If you’d like to call or send a email that works great.

Eastern cedar

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been debating either a conveyor or a blower collector system to shoot into a bin

You can look up the prices on woodmizer.com if you really want to know but if your sitting here asking then I promise you, it’s out of your price range. A top of the line, loaded out pickup truck will be less than this is

Because cedar dust is extremely harmful to your lungs! There’s a lot of animals that it will kill if they breath the cedar dust , especially chickens, turkeys and other birds

Doesn’t bother the dogs?
