Hi Matt, a couple of months ago , I add plans off you to build a bandsaw like yours , so thank you very much. my son and I work on it weekends ,well I do a little bit, . I found getting materials in UK was quite difficult . I got electric motors this morning main motor 20hp and waiting for generator , we have electric motor and chain driven for the head and for the carriage. I'm 79 and still love watching your video's Best wishes Ron UK.

It's really satisfying watching you take what most people would send to the landfill and turning it into raw materials that will in turn be made into beautiful furniture. Very cool.

Your stacking and stickering attention to detail gives me a warm fuzzy feeling :)

A spectacular tale of a really interesting log! The best of storytelling, it inspires and teaches. Inspires me to find such logs, build trailers to haul them (learning welding and trailer design and regs along the way), and build sawmills to cut and stack them (learning sawmill design, welding again, log analysis and slab stickering along the way). We're all different. Others apparently enjoy following along with the everyday details of other people's lives. To me, 20min spent watching the family dynamic, kids, life choices, wine tastes and home searches of 'influencers', however genuine and well meaning, is 20min lost and irrecoverable from my own life. But 43min watching a great log turned into magically beautiful slabs by a person who has great skills and a true passion for it, is an investment in knowledge which will be with me forever. Thanks for the story!!

I live in a house built in 1950, located in Torrance, Ca. . The floors are maple 2x7 inch and 3/4 thick. Just got done re-finishing the second room plus living room. Beautiful wood. It had been carpeted since my wifes' grampa bought the place new. Great video.

Been watching you from the first segment of the sawmill build. When you were testing the mill, several logs took the whole sawmill capacity. I thought at the time, you would never cut a log that big. Oh, was I so wrong. Some of those slabs were almost at the capacity of the skid steer, got to be somewhere in the 600 lbs area. Very good video. Thanks for the time you spent in showing us this incredible log.

In watching your shows and trying to catch up on older ones has inspired me to find and make my own live edge pour desk from a slab of white oak 8 1/4 with some bark inclusion removed, filled, and lights put in it with a nice crotch section and some compression curl, the desk is 56"L x 28"w and for my first pour I should say came out really good thank you for the inspiration.

Kinda resembles a sugar maple I have standing in my yard. It’s got dead sections, I think it’s got som rot. Wife doesn’t want it to go, but it’s big, overhangs a portion of my roof, my brand new roof and my brand new gutters with gutter guards. I’ve heard it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than ask permission! Love your videos!

Plus out in the woods getting (what you thought then) were big 3 foot wide trees and you and your friend cutting them up at his place in/near the woods. Wowsa, have your slabs come a long way!!!

As many slabs as I have see you cut, these have to be at some of the most interesting, considering grain pattern variation, color and shape. I don't even mind the bark inclusions, in fact I rather like them. I can imagine a den or office in a upscaled residence with these slabs made into wall panels. We all have our dreams, don't we? Thanks again for sharing what you do.
