Julie you need to tell him he’s a fricking legend

I am so jealous of that lifestyle! Your days must be so fulfilling running that gorgeous wood through your amazing sawmill only to build your own paradise. My hats off to you sir! You are a great man!

The knowledge he is showing here on you tube. This is what the young kids need to be watching. In my opinion this is better than watching a Hogan’s Hero’s show

Great to see a new video these have always been some of my favourites on youtube, very inspiring. Love to you both

Everything about this video is Awesome. I can't believe all of the negative whinny comments, wow, smh.

I was waiting for a new video for a long time :) Thanks for this one! This sawmill looks great!

You did a great job milling that redwood into outstanding lumber! I love the smell of freshly milled redwood.

Wow, what a nice surprise!!! That famous original video was always one of my favorite! The equally famous beautiful narration not being the least of reasons. Glad to see that not only are you "back", but that you are more at it than ever, and you kept the great narrator!

Thanks For The New Video David! Blessings and Aloha to You!

David and Julie thank you for videos great work.

Great job, David, but I’m most impressed by Julie. For someone who may not be “technical” or “experienced” in this skill set, her questions, camera work and demeanor are spot on and she makes me just want to hug her... what a beautifully intelligent person. Bravo and Brava!!

Thank you very much for the new video!

What a fantastic milling machine, a pleasure to watch, great video

I thank you for the project.

I'm happy to see you are back to making videos. This was a great demonstration and I liked all the details on the setup.

Hurrah! I keep coming back to your old series. Looking forward to a load more,please!

Your have done this before David! Always a pleasure to watch your skills at work... 👍👍 thank you!!!

I enjoyed the video thank you for filming .

Another great video! Really nice to see new videos David!! Really enjoy watching these and your knowledge and precision is impressive!!

I dunno which is my favorite, the cinematographer or the beast of a man orchestrating.

This is one kickass mill nice video

Enjoyed watching it.

Kudos to Julie for Videoing and drawing the information out of David with constant questions. I bet David enjoys the new Turbo Sawmill. It looks alot faster than the Alaskan.

Suggestion Drive a spike with a piece of chain and a washer into the ends . Hook a chain from each end to the 4 wheeler. There you go. I do this with hay bails. I use a riding mower. By placing the washer on the spike first. Then run spike through chain. And drive into the end. Acts as a bearing I’m sure you may have done this before.

Your sawmill is awesome. I got a little chainsaw mill that I made a video with a while ago, but yours is amazing. Have a great Wednesday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪

great video. nice mill. loved it.

😀 Thanks again for sharing! Now that's a man I call self sufficient! Fantastic job 👍🏽👍🏽

Always enjoyable and interesting.

More vids of this guy !! - will be watched for years to come

Goes to show that with some planning and forethought, one is able to maximize the yield of high quality timber from a log. I'm jealous that you have ready access to some beautiful redwood trees to mill into lumber.

Nice mill!

OMG! I'm in the NE attempting to do the same with our Eastern White Pine out here, total inspiration!

I relate to what you are doing as I operate a D&L SwingBlade

The voice of operator seems doesn't changes, soft and tender......

Has it really been two years since your last post. The videos are great. Great content.

David very inspirational hope to work as hard as you when I get to your age.

You're doing pretty good, from an Alaskan chainsaw to a saw that can chainsaw Alaska.

Julie Joynt is back again! I love her interviews and her accent. Julie you have excellent interviews and documentaries. You get the information out of your subjects by drawing it out with questions and observations. Great camera work I might add. You should have your subjects point the camera at you or put it on a tripod so we can see you as you sum up what happened in the video.

Perfection.

Great video and nice sawmill. Only issue I have with that type of sawmill, (manually reset the blade), if that guard ever comes loose, your leg is toast. Better design if the blade tilted away from you instead of towards you. Love the wood. Cheers :)

awesome

Pour a concrete slab that you can mount a removable winch to, then winch the logs up instead of pulling with the 4-wheeler. The spikes in the log ends for an axle mentioned lower in the comments would be a good idea too.

This a good way of making timber

You should have a handheld metal detector; great work; thanks for the video and knowledge.

Nice work. This seems a lot harder than a bandsaw mill. The only difference is that the bandsaw mill just slabs the log, So you would have to rip the slabs at some point I guess your mill has the advantage of the dimensional lumber being light enough that one guy can lift one. With my back, I wouldn't want to try to lift one of those wet 4x8s, much less a 16/4 slab!

Just all those other trees watching 👀 their inevitably fait to come.

cutting a healthy redwood down? oh boy I'm a big lumber milling wood project kinda guy but there's just got to be boundaries.

Hi, David. Just spoke with Rick after any years. He suggested that I check out your KZfaq site. I am amazed at your skill and knowledge on so many tpocsI plan to get in touch with you, my long-ago- friend, when I go to my place in Blue Lake next time. Tell me how get in touch with you.

This video was about 10 minutes too short. Beautiful lumber. Great skill!

Great video , you need to wax all those chains before they rust !

Would like to see the slabbing attachment too…

time for a composting toilet with all that sawdust. :-)

Would love to have a couple of truck load of those logs. Would make a great house.

Okay, but, get a oversized cant hook, and that log will roll right up quite easily and accurately.

Novice question from a rookie woodworker here...do you commercially recycle all that sawdust and shavings?

cant you compress all that saw dust and shavings into fire logs or pellets ?

why do you a circ saw mill instead of a bandsaw mill?, or did I miss that.

It that called a swing blade mill?? Seems like the blade guard should be bigger, looks very dangerous

I am completely uneducated when it comes to lumbering/harvesting trees. I have one question and im sorry if it sounds stupid but i would really like to know. Isnt it illegal to harvest redwood trees anymore? I remember watching a cable TV show that showed the "loggers" harvesting deadfall and very old stumps that were cut many many years ago by the look of them because they were not allowed to harvest standing redwoods. I am just curious because i enjoy your videos and enjoy learning about this field of work. Perhaps you are familiar with what im talking about and can explain what i have mixed up? Thank you. And by the way that is absolutely beautiful wood!

Take a couple cut off slabs and put it under your next cut. Might save your chain a little wear when you hit the dirt.

wow, awesome to watch!!! mmmm...I can smell the wood, and the outside where you are!!!mmmm

Sir... why you insist working alone? God bless you

any 3 " thick?

Nice mill What the cost for one of the mill

That seems to use the patented design of the Australian Lewisaw

Just being curious not meaning to be intrusive but who is the woman? And is she related?

I'm sure glad i have a Wood Mizer , every dimension he needed could of been done within 1 hour with no hydraulics.

Why does the blade have so few tips?

Dang, put the camera on a tripod n go grab the other end of those boards will ya, lol.

Coulda sold the sapwood

A real shame to see all that Redwood go like this and i'm not a " Tree hugger"

The trouble with producing videos while trying to get something done, you have to do everything yourself even though you have someone else there.

milling starts at 22:00 do yourself a favor and play it on mute at 2x speed lol

You made setting up this log way way more complicated then you needed to.. Like wow, if this is how you do it all the time holy waste of time...

"Standard logging practice?" Of course not. The woman's tone is really disrespectful, and brings shame on herself. So she could do better? Let's see it. This guy is doing a great job, and she is trying to make fun of him. "He's at it again" ? You bet. Keep going. Ignore the mockers. Lots of people can operate a camera.

Leave the narrator inside next time. Geezus

This machine is a joke!
