Hey, I enjoy your videos and hope you'll keep them coming. I have a LT-40 and just wanted to mention, where you added a shim board for the clamping head to hold a narrow board, I've done that also. Then I realized I could swivel the top of the clamping head to accommodate even 1" thick boards, maybe even more narrow than that. Maybe that will help you also; but, the shim board does help stabilize a narrow board as the blade passes through it. Take care.

@garyarmstrong45974 жыл бұрын
Hi Kirk, sorry I should have explained myself better. The pencil I was talking about is made by Staedtler tradition HD pencils who use PEFC wood. That wood is Western Red Cedar. They use cedar because of its properties of the wood when dry does hold its grain structure significantly. Once I did buy some Western Red Cedar for a small project I did and it certainly had the same smell when I was working it. These pencils originate in Germany but I think they could be made under licence all over the world. I have heard there is a plantation in Australia 🇦🇺. Anyway the pencil is a very good pencil as it does not break the lead like those pencils made out of oak. BTW this is not a free advertisement for Staedtler pencils at all! Lol, but I save the shavings in the pencil sharpen m/c just for that smell. Lol.👍

And you sharing with us is super great.I think that fate has led me to your channel. I was watching one of my favorite channels, Gridlessness, and the daughter were making a door for their house. The dad commented that their saw mill was a Wood-Mizer. So I looked up Wood-Mizer and your video was he first one. Imagine my surprise when I discovered you were on your way to Wood-Mizer, not only in Wood Village, but that you lived locally. Where I long to be on 2-5 acres. OK so I will be leaving my home and have a HUGE California Redwood that my grandmother grew from a burr and I want to take it down and take it with me in the form of boards, planks, rounds, what every I can get. I want to buy 2-5 acres and build a big open hours and have a very long table, made from the redwood, and I would like to make tales for my two sons also. I am hoping that you can advice me, help me, guide me and maybe we can strike a deal. I also would like to see how the mill runs up close and how to care for the mill, as I will be buying one once I move. It wont be as big as yours.I do not know how to send a DM through KZfaq, so I was hoping that you could tell me how to contact you? thanks Michele

You can use them more than once or toss them. Come in different sizes. You soak them in water for 3 or 4 hours, put the salmon on it and put on the grill or in the oven then serve . Goes from grill to table. gives great flavor to fish or chicken, just can't be treated of course. I do remember the channel that told me to come here said you did amazing work and they were right.

I paid for mine in about 6 months in my spare time. If you’re doing it full time it’s an easy living.

Hello im new on here but was going to see if you could help me out i own a lt35 and cut some but dont seem to make much money. When im cutting out of my wood its 1.00 bf for soft and 2.00 bf for hard wood i make ok with that but sawing for people that have there own wood i only charge .35 a bf and dont seen to add up to much. Was wondering if you thought i should charge more for certain things even tho its there wood. Like mantles or smaller cuts like 3/4 by 4in boards. If you dont mind me asking how many bf was the order on this video? And how much did you charge? Thanks for any help you can give. Great video by the way!!

Thank you, Stephen. I never charge by the bf. I always charge hourly. There are too many things that can slow you down when milling for someone when you’re a mobile operation.
