I'm a retired sawyer and noticed that you had dirt on the bark that you didn't take off ! That's the quickest way to dull blades is not clean it off! You will get a lot more cuts when the logs are clean! Yes it slows down the cutting for a few minutes but keeps you cutting longer with a sharp blade! Dirt is a blades worst enemy! Those are great looking boards though!!!

Good morning 🌞

And look at all that great sawdust for the chicken run. That was fun

good job with the sawmill

I own this saw and gave a couple videos of adding 20’ rails so it will cut more than the 8’ , does a good job had got to be on level ground everything level

as a small engine service the worst thing to do is run the gas tank an carb dry for storage, on the other had i love the people that do this, it brings me in so much work, fact is, yes you run it dry but there still a film of gas in it an it drys up and forms a thin layer of shellac in side then you add free gas an it braks it up into tinny peaces an plugs up the very small fine holes in the carb, AND YOU GET SURGING.. some are so small it impossible to clean and a new cab is needed, i tell all my customers to us a product called stor an start, from CCR. run it every day with a mix as out LINED in thee directions for every day use, and to mix it in gas for long time storage. filling the tank full FOR STORAGE WITH THE MIX, and running it for 10 min, and just before you shut it down for storage spray carb fogging oil into the carb for 20 seconds an shut it down right away, you will never have carb problems.. it false info to run them dry.. I MAKE THOUSAND A YEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT RUN THE CARB DRY FOR STORAGE, YES YOU MAY GET AWAY WITH IT FOR A YEAR OR 2, BUT IT WILL TAKE OUT CARRYOUT..I DO HAVE TO SAY, I AM GLAD YOU HAVE THAT MILL ON A SOLID CEMENT PAD. ALL OTHER YOU TUBERS ONLY HAVE THEM ON BLOCKS, AND EVERY BRAND AND SIZE OF THESE SAW MILLS THERE FRAMES ARE SO FLIMSY AND THE GROUND ALWAY MOVE, EVEN THE50K WOOD MIZERS ARE THE SAME CRAP, THEY ALL MUST ME ON A SOLID CEMENT PAD with a 18x12 club footing with 4" drain tile inder the footingwith crushed sone on top.. AND UP ON 12" h beams for height. with out it they're total crap and move with every log put on, every turn of the log..

Liz looking like a Carhartt supermodel! Got them guns on her too 😇

Man Liz is stride for stride with you. I worked on my construction site’s and she works way harder then most men on the site. Your no slouch either Mike, I would hire both of you in a heartbeat and pay top dollar for you guys. Good luck with your journey.

That’s a huge log!!

You could modify a bar that comes out off the chain that way you can put a like a can or something on there to catch at Sawdust and it's going all the way down

This is so cool.😀

Hi Mike and Liz nice idea for the garden with the fence and poles off the land. doing a garden by seed is hard but great idea to see what you will and will not eat. so you know what to do in the greenhouse . if you have enough seeds try and grow a small batch of like tomatoes by seed in the greenhouse. onions normal work better with an onion set or start in a greenhouse. corn you always want to do from seed. if you would like some help call Hoss tools they do seeds and are always will to help. also you can make your own seeds for next year from green peppers and tomatoes and most anything Elsa you eat with seeds . example green peppers when you cut into them you see the seeds take the seats out lay them on the paper towel let them sit there and dry out for a day or two then you take yourself a regular envelope that you would use for the mail right on the envelope what kind of pepper it is and the date and put the dry seeds in that and then actually the box that your envelopes come into you can put them back in there like a filing system and do them in alphabetical order cantaloupe when you pull the seeds out of a cantaloupe same thing you rinse it down real good get all that extra fruit tissue away from it so that you just have the seeds again put it on the paper towel later day or two to let him dry out again put it in an envelope marked what it is and dated this way you can start collecting seeds for next year and it's stuff that you know you eat and it's that you can start from a seed in your greenhouse and it'll save on you having to buy seeds you're just collecting your own not sure if you thought of doing that or not. Mike the sliding doors in the roof of the greenhouse I think might be too heavy but if you were to take like a regular you know you've got your your regular door and there's always a screen door in front of it I think if you took one of those and framed it out to put on top where you can slide the window portion push screen in it so that you can get some ventilation in or just leave it where there's just too glass panels that would work but it's a good idea on what you're thinking for up top. and yes you and Liz have the right idea about taking the bedding from the chicken coop once it's finished being used and taking that to go in between your rows cuz that'll help get some nutrients into the ground also you can use some of the extra sawdust that you accumulate from the mill you can put that in your walkways too and then at the end of the year the garden season when you're all done you can tell that all into the dirt and then over the winter as you need to clean out the chicken coop you just throw everything over into the garden. you could even start a compost pile unless you think it would draw if it's too much of an attention of other animals yeah might not be able to do a regular compost file but that you can just see how that'll work down the road. and everything looks good the cats look happy the dogs look happy the chickens look happy you guys look happy now we just have to see what the garden brings you guys are doing great. hope you guys are having a great weekend.

I have the same mill and have made several mods. The first being the upgrade to better blades from Wood-Mizer. The second is adding the height adjusting holes. I poured twelve 8” sono tube piers to support and level the mill frame. Look at your saw dust it looks like the blade is dulling. Also if your cutting pitchy wood clean the blade with mineral spirits.

Pretty cool 😎 very useful use and helping you in your many needs.🤗

Good job

This just shows how a sawmill can pay for it self over and over again !! 🙏💚👍🇬🇧.....Simon

That sawmill is probably glad to see wood again. lol The excavator will come in handy helping to set those 20" logs on the mill, saving ya'll from throwing your backs out! Love ya'll ❤️

Mike / Liz - You call the channel "Laid Back Living" but in the Real World the word "SMART" ought to be in there somewhere. You think ahead and plan ahead. Mistakes and the unexpected will ALWAYS happen, but you two react and correct QUICKLY. Well Done!!

Good job!

What a great VIDEO you BOTH sure know what you doing SUCH a WONDERFUL VIDEO ROSA OLBERA FROM Texas

Great job guys, those planks look sweet. 👍👍💚

seems like yesterday you guys wraped it up and put it to bed!!! looks like its time for and extension as well!

Hey guys😃! You guys have been super busy with spring season making its appearance. It's exciting to see your homestead taking shape with the clearing of the new garden, chicken coop & run, and whatever surprises you may have in mind to build with the lumber you milling from the trees you harvested. As we continue to 👀👀👍👏👏!!

Nice job,the saw dust you going to use it in the chicken 🐔 coop 🐔 or garden some great stuff save on money 💰 🤑 💸 😀 👍 have a great day GOD BLESS

Good start. Your chickens will love that sawdust in their coop as well. I like the fact that you have a good concrete base for your mill, we see so many putting wood and re-setting the levels on theirs.

This video makes me want to buy one. However my budget is only $1500. I live in the NWT🇨🇦👍

Exciting stuff! Love when the snow melts and we get to work outside.

Great job, guys - nice day of work - love how you keep you homestead clean and free of clutter - have a great week !!!

I see the union super walking around checking safety and board counts!! Love ur pups!! Cheers from the great state of Arkansas!!

I have a small suggestion for you, hang a bucket off of your output chute and you wont have so much shoveling saw dust to deal with. Not really my idea, I seen it on Kris Harbour Natural Building, you should check him out. Very creative! You guys are doing great, ready to see you tackle that hill behind the house. You have the machine to do everything you need to do!

Another great video!

The sawdust pile was amazing!! Way to go, guys!

Wow that some awzome timber You two are awsome ! I bough 3000 acre homestead and I can't even get my wife to go outside let alone help with the projects your a lucky man!

That's impressive 2nd pull and it fired up 👍So nice for you cutting up your own trees for timber , it's very expensive in the UK to buy timber now since the thing that can't be named.

Thanks for sharing this video! Was looking at a HF mill myself so good to see one in use on my favorite channel.

Way to go, great job with the sawmill.

Nicely done ✅. That milling is spot on.

Of course is started up, you took good care of it. It will take care of you. Looks great. Thanks for sharing

I always look foreward to your videos, so intresting!

lets see,trees you cut down for garden excavater for digging lumber mill for cutting lumber to support trees you cut down to put up against the hill and dig a french to put the tree bottoms in wala hill fixede

Keep your sawdust for your garden and for compost

Your excavator comes in real Handy for putting those logs up on your sawmill. I believe that your chickens are going to be real happy with their new home.

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

good video

So glad you have that sawmill will save you lots of money

I think that mill has more than paid for itself!

I am jealous i want a saw mill. great work on cutting them down.

Cool sawmill, having all the chips will help too.

You two are awesome,love ya'll...🤗❤

Very good Video. I Love it

looking forward to you extending the length of the mill. Great vid. You will need some longer sticks for a mill cover....

good job the excavator too away a lot of hard work. the hf mill did really well. i almost got one but they were not any and i ordered a woodland mills 130 max can cut 30 inch and i got 22 feet of track. take care, be safe and well.

The chickens will love the sawdust too

.... Pretty Slick ... !!

Can’t wait to get back up to my property up there in a few weeks!

I just stumbled upon your channel, I'm enjoying the content. Congratulations on the new excavator, that thing is sweet!! I just got myself a dozer! Very excited for that. Keep up the hard work. The rest of us will lay back watching! Lol.

hang a pail of the end of the saw dust funnel will save you sweeping of the ground and can use it for mulch

Great video. Wish I had a truck load of that saw dust

Your pull rope for starting by simply removing 4 bolts can be rotated so that your starting it from the working side., for me I find it much more efficient

Awesome video. Do you think in the future you will get extension for your mill so you can do longer logs? Sawdust is right there for chickens. Thank you for sharing

First couple of times watching your video. I think this the first time ever that I've seen people with a new mill who make a concrete pad for the mill, very smart. You might want to think about putting a small structure around the mill to keep the weather out. Keep up with the good videos.

Mike and Liz, why don't you put a hook or some type of hanger on the sawdust port on your sawmill that you can hang a 5 gallon bucket on to catch the sawdust? You can use it to either make compost or mulch in your garden.

Why don't you both get the following 2 storage containers cut open the sides and construct the front for a building next put Seafoam liquid in your fuel system or get telephone pole and build vs a shop.just foam.or paint inside from the pesticide in the poles

You should put a tarp down to collect your shavings for easy removable

hey Mike what strikes me is that you also speak with your hands like the KZfaqr of channel Lumnah Acres.

Save the sawdust for the chicken nesting boxes

You should have flipped the log one more time now you have to bring back all you last cut boards to resaw them

That tractor tho!

can you make a 3 sided permanent cover for the mill out of wood and also can you extend the track weather is looking good there

Man that excavator sure is coming in handy huh? Makes moving the heavy logs piece of cake. It's amazing how much wood you got from one tree. Pretty cool.

that mill actually looks like its working fine. I am considering a woodlands mill, we don't have harbor freight up here in Canada. Consider saving those shavings for your chicken run.....will keep them out of the mud. Keep up the good work!!

Great video, thanks for posting. What's the length of log that mill will take..i don't see it on their website. Thanks

Good job. Swing by Home Depot and check out the lumber prices. It will make you feel great.

You guys are always grinding 💪 Mill work looked A+ - well done!

Awesome ur mill fired up so nice. It should do that every year as long as u run the carb dry. I wanna know how many blades it took to cut those two big 20” logs ?

You should really think about wielding on some angle supports on both sides to stop the bandsaw wobble.

👌🏻👌🏻

Harbor Freight sawmill for the win !! Are you able to get ethanol free gas ⛽️ in your area. I use ethanol free in my small engines and have no problems starting them in the spring

I am just finishing the set up of my HF mill. I extended it to 20 ft and built a trailer for it. Wonder tho, I did not see the link to your other video. How many boards did you get out of that one log?

Plenty sawdust for the chickens.

You could use the sawdust in your chicken coop so it’s Worth Bagging it up will you build a roof over your sawmill

I’m lost. I thought a while back you put a roof over the saw mill

Good preventative maintenance and covering the equipment make for a much easier start up. You folks are great and the way you always work together is great to watch.

When you’re cutting up that log how long does it actually take to do the whole log?

she a good work I could us her dose she has a steer

Do you have plans to lengthen the bed of the saw to be able to cut longer logs?

There's some sawdust for the mud in your driveway

Time for a blade change?

What do you do with the sawdust?

Super work, wenn nur nicht die saegespaene waeren?

What do you guys do with the left over saw dust?

Can’t beat your own supply of wood and your own band sawmill! Be careful!

How come your snow is melted or is melting, and Martin Johnson's snow is 3 feet deep?

How many passes before you have to replace the blade?

When are you building the mansion? lol

How accurate does it saw ?

What overalls is she wearing at 5:06? I’m going to have to get some for my wife.

Better 1000 view an hour

IF YOU LAY A TARP UNDER IT IT WILL BE EASIER TO PICK UP

Save the sawdust and burn it in a sawdust stove go on youtube and see how to build one! put your sawdust in barrels!
