Good to watch such a useful and informative video by someone who knows his stuff.

Detailed, authoritative and generous..a privilege and pleasure listening to that presentation!

I love the way you're killing. Runs off solar heat. Also, I've often wondered how well reverse cycle air conditioners operating on the humidification cycle would work.

Great to see your video , john, alot of changes since I worked for you. Have you seen the s ring that can go in the end of the log just to stop splitting, worth looking at, they use them in usa, on hickory logs, just a suggestion, keep polishing your stone.

Not all the eucalypts end check so badly depending on the weather, but I speak of in their natural habitat. I've had spotted gum logs over and around 50cm debarked when fallen in january and sat off the ground till late june with hardly any end checking, we minimize the stress by pre-seasoning before milling and all the mills on the east coast of Australia do, kind of opposite to your practice. Other logs like iron bark and mahogany check up quickly, we just size the log longer than the finished length of the desired cut timber and let it check. You can seal your logs to stop rapid end grain drying which is the cause. Also mill in humid and cooler months so the cut timber air drys slower. Just some thoughts from Australia.

This has been extremely helpful. Hard to find information like this on my local native trees

An excellent video, showing just how much work needs to go into Eucalypts to make anything of them.

Fantastic video. Great info, well presented and put together. Thanks for the effort and good luck with your mill

Excellent. Thanks for the walkthrough. Just finishing my homemade mill here in NSW, Australia. This is really helpful info.

Very nice thank you for the presentation

Great video also saw you on grand designs New Zealand

Good video very instructive thank you

Very nice video Thankyou.

Extremely helpful :)

I live in Spain and behind my house is a eucalyptus forest and I use it to build fences, furniture, tool handles it’s such a versatile tree.

Excellent information. Thank you sir. Our property in India has 8 acres of eucalyptus trees and some are as old as a century. I do need more information. Thank you

Tnx please can u gave us more info with these type off tree

Is fine leaf iron bark as fussy with drying ?

I have my own sawmill, what depth do you find the best to cut to? I am about to start on some Fastigata.

I came across a slab of this, do you happen to know their Janka?

Hi John Where did you get your mill from

I have many large eucalyptus trees on my property that I would like to make wood beams out of. I am looking to make beams that are about 6"x16" or 8"x16" and about 24 feet long. Do you know if that is a good idea? If I dried it right would that be possible? Is the wood stable enough that I could possibly dry it correctly to keep them usable after milling? I want to use them for beams of a foot bridge to cross a canyon.

Hii sir i am eucalyptus wood supplier from India can i export you from India

He accepts

Can I have a job?

Of all the Eucalypt species, I wonder why they planted these? This particular species has very limited use here because of the problems you encounter. There are many fast growing and good looking candidates that are more stable and durable however if one were to change species it will probably be to the benefit of our grandchildren rather than ourselves.
