The lighting was fine. There is nothing more manly than milling wood! My late Dad had a DeWalt saw in the garage are was always doing some woodworking project. The sound of the buzzsaw, the smell of the wood, the sawdust everywhere....good childhood memories! My Dad could build ANYTHING!

Just a thought: I"m in my mid 70's and vividly remember my parents hanging small bags of cedar shavings in the closets to keep any bugs out. While watching you make the cuts I saw all that cedar dust going on the ground and wondered if that couldn't be used the same way. It might not net much $$ but I haven't seen anyone selling that products for 50 years.

There's a happy man making a living doing what he likes + how he likes. I can feel the sun and warmth. and smell the fresh air.

lighting was good and thank you for letting me watch and hopes that you show your house while your working on it been a builder all my life and know what your doing and wished we had saw mills like yours back in my day, retired now old builder.

As the old saying goes, never an ill wind that someone doesn't benefit, and it has, given you some lovely cedar, congratulations. That new shed also keeps the sun off your head as well as keeping your saw in the dry, time and money well spent.

Jeff Behn you took the words right out of my mouth. Its amazing and you can take all his methods back 200 years or so with mules ect. Great vid.

A wonderful video- very interesting indeed. Gorgeous cedar, enjoyed watching how you took a felled tree and milled it into something very useful. Very rewarding work; love your skill in felling, dragging, loading onto the saw, and the tools you used. Thank you for the video- bonus points for the drone camera work!

Good looking cedar you milled up there. It must be quite a treat to have a roof over your head while milling. The shade will be appreciated come the summer months.

I could smell the cedar while watching the video. Amazing how our senses kick in from woodworking in past! Your efforts would also make a great cedar chest or line a closet to keep the moths out! Beautiful wood grain showed with water! You make such great engaging video's from the angles you place your camera. Keep it up, your my favorite woodworking channel. Consider catching the water to use as weather permits and resources allow.

The cedar would have made some mighty fine old school folding Adirondack chairs. I appreciate your videos and the lighting was fine. I could smell the cedar from here.

I love cedar I love thesmell of it and watching your finished product I'm impressed

As always - another great video and the lighting was perfect. I could watch this stuff all day if the lord would let me. Now on to my own projects. Keep up the great work and thank you for your effort in making these videos. God bless.

Thank you for showing the woodmizer at work. This was a great advertisement for their saws. You did everything perfectly. Thanks for this and the lighting was just fine.

Man, that saw gets after it! Great video and some amazing looking cedar!

Perfect and the saw house is wonderful and the lighting Perfect!

The shed is looking great! I wish I could get my hands on an Eastern Red log.

Thanks for sharing. You harvested some beautiful cedar. The lighting was excellent.

Fall Line Ridge oh man I just love cedar wood the red grain is soo pretty and it smells soo good the lighting was good I could see all details just fine. The shed is very nice adding the cedar boards to it will look and smell soo nice and be very durable. Thanks for the nice video be blessed with loving care and grace.

EVERYTHING, I MEAN E V E R T H I N G was PERFECT!!Lights Incuded!!

You make your job look like fun. I love watching your videos.

What a great find. Youve done a fabulous job sawing it.

Wow! Beautiful stuff!

Nice vid man👍 Lighting was perfect.

Oh WoW that’s absolutely gorgeous! I bet the smell is amazing 😉

Beautiful lumber, the lighting was great.

Thank you. It was a very good video. The light was on, not to wary, Cedar is such a beautiful wood.

I found it really interesting to see how the various "tools of the trade" are used. Archimedes would be proud! :) Also, YAY for the sawmill cat!

Looked great as far as lighting. Very easy to see. Beautiful log.

Great stuff enjoyed that lighting is great, we have a cedar closet love it very beautiful!!!

Lighting was great. Nice wood. Cool video. Thanks

I noticed as you were sawing that it was your first log to be milled in the new saw shed. Cedar is my favorite to mill as well, I always keep wishing for bigger logs. I thought the video was great and the back light was not a problem. I was tickled to see your long beam in on of the shots, glad to see the mill under cover.

Watching this young man's videos brings my blood pressure from 170 to 140. Thanks mike

Lighting was ok! Boards look awesome and I bet they smell great 👍!

Love it. Our entertainment table is 12' long 14" eastern red cedar with epoxy in knot holes and its my wifes favorite thing ive made but it will dull blades fast. Nice work bud.

Fantastic video!!! Fantastic lumber!!!!

Lighting was perfect 👌 great video and awesome sawmill

Everything about this video is fantastic, man! Your videos are amazing! I do have a confession to make though. Mill Cat is probably my favorite part of all these videos. She/he is just so stinking cute! Anyway, you're doing awesome, and I just wanted to let you know that!

The wood is beautiful! Lighting was great!

Hard to beat the beauty of southern red cedar....or the smell. Another great video! PS All the trees are budding out round here.

Good job all around!! That is beautiful lumber !! R and W

Lighting was fine, I agree about cedar being good wood to work with. Got some nice slabs there!

Very cool. Love the colour.

Great video and the lighting was fine,would love to make a Cedar chest out of that beautiful slab.

Glad to see the mill cat keeping an eye on things. I can smell that board all the way here in Texas! Rock on.

That was fun to watch, and educational too. P.S. Your cat is beautiful.

Beautiful wood Thanks for showing.

As I saw the slices of the wood take shape I was thinking I would love to make a rather long table top surface with them. Beautiful wood. Thanks for posting this type of video.

Great looking cedar lumber

Looked great!! Beautiful wood!!

I love ceder. I hate to see a tree like that fall. Im glad that you will put it to good use.

Very cool, well done... Oh, the lighting was perfect. I should know In my younger days I did Lighting on film projects, even though I am an audio engineer. Can't wait to see the shed when it's finished.

You've made a nice job of the shed and yes the lighting good. You've got enough walking and maneuvering room too. Just what you needed to start with.

Nice camera work and good editing! Enjoyed the drone footage, too.

Nice. Thanks for showing us. Take care.

Nothing like Cedar for color !! 👍 Make a beautiful Cedar Chest!

That would make some lovely guitar and ukulele tops/sound boards !

Lighting was fine. That was a beautiful log!

LOVIT, lighting was good, may need some help when you put that Beautiful Cedar on that back Wall ! Suggestion, make a 4’ spreader Bar and use two log hooks and using a chain across the top from end too end you can easily carry your logs and keep the dirt from grinding into the bark, with the chain across the Top you can simply move your hook left or right on the chain links to help level the load ! Just a thought ! Thx’s for Sharing

The lighting was fine. My wife said so. I could almost smell the cedar while you were sawing it. I love cedar too. It grows well here in east Texas. Can't find many big ones though.

great video! well filmed. enjoyed watching.

Very well done; very professional. And I loved your feline helper!

Great quality video, lighting and angles of shots were awesome

I stumbled upon this vid - really cool :) Your cat got me to subscribe :D

Great job. I think lighting was fine. Keep up the good work.

the lighting was really really good and clear brother.

Video was great. Lighting was good. Keep up the good work.

IMO everything with your video was top notch. Again, IMO, the absence of extremely annoying background music made this such a pleasure to watch!!! I very curious where you live. I live in south central Nebraska and you don’t see guys working outside in T-shirts in February. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Beautiful log. I can smell it from Georgia!

Could watch this all day

Lighting not bad ... beautiful lumber!

That I get to watch beautiful videos like this is why I love KZfaq.

Looks great.

Awesome job. I was glued to my tv. Damn I wish I had that machine . Cutting your own lumber , what a great way to build . Keep up the videos 👍

Fun to watch, wish I was 50 years younger to give it a go. Lighting looked good to me. Wood-Mizer should be sponsoring you. You have sold me on their machines.

Just built a pergola from red cedar. Lighting was fine. Keep up the great videos.

Good video Wes - that Cedar is lovely. No problems with the lighting. Nice to see Foreman Cat again too - He (or She!) must be really close to you because he's never far away from you when you're working! Beautiful Cat! ;-)

Thank you for sharing your great video. Have a great day.

Absolutely beautiful! Out here in Eastern Oregon, my favorite logs to saw is Western juniper which is very much like the cedar in this video.

I enjoying your video you cutting the golden woods. Great job. Thks for sharing. From Saipan near Guam.

The lighting was excellent.

Wow that's beautiful.

That has to smell wonderful!

I really enjoyed this video, lighting was very good

Lighting ok. Very interesting to watch. Beautiful wood!

That would make a gorgeous beginning of a cedar chest. Pretty pretty looking wood.

Looked great!

Wow, that wood is just too pretty for "the back of the shed." I'd be using it for a living room coffee table, a narrow table in back of the couch for holding lamps, a dining room table, a thick piece for a fireplace mantle, round pieces for wall clocks, front and back doors, and more!

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful!!

Thank you 🤗 Greetings from Austria

I replaced some lap siding that was Cedar. Super expensive to use, and extra absorbent when painted. Took 3 coats to get a nice finish on the wood. Personally I would have used a protective stain or something along those lines but it was up to the person who owned the home. I also as a contractor use Cedar Oil purchase it by the gallon, put it in foggers to kill roaches and bed bugs. Also carry a spray bottle of it. Safe to drink, won't harm children or kids. Kills everything by choking the insect out. Spiders, roaches, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, ants, pincher bugs. It was formulated by the military to combat biting insects. It's cool you have your own portable mill, makes things easier when you can just pluck what you need from the site. Nice video. I hit the like button for ya.

Not sure why but I find this video extremely satisfying.

You have a nice cat and a wonderful working place ;)

Nice video! the lighting is OK, angles are great.. nice job👍

Excellent video quality!

Lighting was fine. Love your milling videos.

The lighting was fine. I watched the build of the shed and it looks impressive, too.

Impressed with the machinery. Looks a lot easier to use then our neighbor. Using a chain saw supported horizontal to cut the long plank cut. The log itself is moved along bench by pulley system passing the chainsaw blade. Can smell the Cedar!

I can smell it now.. couple years ago I milled 700 board feet of cedar.. never got tired of the smell.. love your set up..

Wes:. Great job on the video and the lighting 👍. I thought it looked fine. Also, you had some great camera angles on the mill...that was fun to see!
