Thanks!

What a Great Job Emerald.

Very good video Em. Nice change up with being a little more technical. Really enjoyed. Great camera work Jade! And woot woot! BOSSMANS BACKYARD BBQ!!! Featuring the new McBossman triple Bacon Burger! 😀😀👍👍👍. Can’t wait.

Great Video Emerald! Can't wait to see dad's hobby cooking videos 😋

You guys should highlight the $ Thanks link and people should be able to choose the amount to send. Buy us a coffee sounds good.

Well, that resounding "clonk" when you 180ed that log was sure satisfying-

Hi Emerald. When you rotate the Log (after first cuts) use a 90 Degree Angle Set Square - Note you must put the Set Square(on opposite side to the Dogs) - against the horizontal support bar of the Mill and then check how square you have the log against your cut edge. By trying to square up a log by viewing the Dogs side alignment of the log you are not going to get a consistent square cut. (you are trying to square the cut from the wrong side). Instead, if you use a 90 Degree Set Square as described above on the other side of the Log, then you will be far more accurate and maintain a consistent quality.

Emerald makes me want to buy lumber I don't need.

Looking forward to watching you cook Boss. Enjoy!

Great to see the channel grow❤️❤️

You have trippled my knowledge of how a sawmill works and I still know about 1% of what you do. Thank You All. Love this channel.

Can't wait for the grilling lessons.

180 flip for me is the best, but I never trust the dogs to be plumb. I always use a framing sq to the bed to the log, to be accurate.

I don’t own a mill, so watching you guys go through the Ins and outs is really interesting to watch. Nice job. Ken, a great way to relax and I look forward to viewing in!

I like the step by step approach to todays video. Being a little bit more descriptive makes it much more interesting. And for the “Boss Guy” … you picked a great hobby. Nothing better than a nice thick smoke ring!

The other benefit to squaring the way you just demonstrated is added saw blade life. On the 3rd pass (flat) you are into clean wood (no bark). Can't wait for the future cooking segments and tips.

Discussing mill dogs while mill dog running around the yard. I love it.

Hey. Would love to see you collecting some mushrooms from the woods then use them in your cooking segments?

Emerald, I have to admit I found it very difficult to concentrate on the content today because I couldn't stop staring at your gorgeous hair. It looks extra special today! Thanks.

I was a cabinetmaker for 35 years. The truth is I always assumed my rough lumber was out of square and would start the building process by squaring up my boards (and sheet goods.)

Em is always a plethora of information. Looking forward to the BBQ segments. I'm a BBQ'er, grill'er and smoker. I love it all. In fact I have some beef ribs and pork ribs going on the smoker tomorrow for Sunday family dinner.

Hi! Could you do a video showing the beginning of the firewood bundling process? Saw the short where you load and tie off, but im curious about the beginning of the process, ie how you get the netting around the form initially. Also describe how you build the rotating platform and the form itself. Thanks

Very informative Thank You for sharing, also looking forward to the Boss man's BBQ segment.

Nice job, Emerald, of explaining how you square your logs. Ken, I am looking forward to your cooking content. Take care 👍

Watching you work is very relaxing. 7:57 - Talking about dogs with Dog in the background! SMART!

Great announcement, looking forward to tuning in, Thanks for sharing!

Picking up my new Lt 40 this weekend Been watching all your sawmill tips Thanks so much Scott in WV

Hello Emerald, You are spot on with the squaring info, Bet every sawmill manufacture has had these same questions called to them before. My son was having trouble when he was learning the sawmill and after watching him I realized his clamp was to tight and throwing off the log making it out of square. Ken I await the first show of your BBQ extravaganza I bet it will be a big hit. Hope Boss Mom will be in it too! 🍗🥩🍔🍕🌭🫕🤠

Hobby videos sound cool. BTW, the square was off, your perfect Em

Em is amazingly articulate. The girls have great work ethics. Good job Mom and Dad “Boss”.

That's pretty darn square! Boss , your hobby is making a living for your family. You and the wife have done an excellent job at that. Whole family is involved and from what I've seen pretty cohesive.

Great video em.you make it so easy to understand the content.

Great video, always wondered how you properly were squaring up the beams. Looking forward to the BBQ series. Keep it up

@Ken, no one makes smoked food better than the people that understand wood the best. My woodrack has been full of Hickory for this winter for 30 days already. As for smoking, I've switched from live oak to laurel. I find it even more pungent. 😋 Good luck and looking forward to the grill or smoking vids. 🤘😎✌️

That is awesome news Ken!!! I can't wait! Nice job emerald!

One of the things I always wonder about in your sawdust pile... There should be a way to hook up a conveyor belt that uses the return cycle of the sawmill to move the sawdust out of the section between your building and the mill. Would not think that it would take much to setup something like this and would have zero effect on the milling process itself!

Nice job

Sometimes a log being sawn into beam shape will have some tension in it which is gradually or suddenly released while you saw material off, that can also lead to geometrical errors in the final beam. Drying the beam is a whole other story in relation to the tiny tolerance you had in your example beam. Looking forward to BBQ!

Sounds like an awesome hobby can't wait to see it!

You have to really appreciate true American craftsmanship. From tree to beam and everything in between 🇺🇸

BBQing is an excellent addition. I just made corned beef and cabbage on my grill. You can Q up something for lunches for your workers that might tide them over for a couple of days each week. Looking forward to it.

Your videos are great,informative and humble rock on!!

as a commercial beekeeper you should get your hands into making boxes, bottom boards, pallets, etc for that trade. it's definitely a great community of people who need quality equipment. keep up the great work!

Good job You showed them guys how to make a square Can't🎉

Emerald plays that mill like a musical instrument.

@Lumber Capitol Log Yard do you load the deck with the small end of the log towards the operator, or is it just random?

Very cool. I can’t wait to see the Ned segments. I’ve been curious about live fire cooking

I see Emerald is getting cute. with the videos. Sets up a premiere for the 18th lol. Brilliant idea. Beauty,brains and a great work ethic are wonderful traits to have.

It may be your large square! I have had so many that seemed to be square until you flip the square! lay it down and draw a line the full length of the square then flip it over and compare where the line is to the square! you may see the square isnt square! It may be off at the end by even a width of a pencial line which will throw off everything! But Great video! I love the attention to detail and showing us what it is you were talking about! Thank you! and Boss man Ken! looking forward to seeing some of your BBQ products! Mouth is watering already!

Glad to see you picking up a hobby Ken, looking forward to the cooking content, I am sure you will make it very interesting.

Congratulations on your achievement of learning a highly technical skill at a young age. Also appreciate the beautifully produced videos.

nice work there 🙂

I will keep saying it, You are a good sawyer! one little thing l would do if l had an off square cant would be to turn it 180° around and resaw it square. it works, try it some time. same procedure as you cut a log.Cut top,flip 180° ,then the other two faces.if it is really out of square you will have 4 pieces of beveled siding!🤣I bet the turkeys are gobbling up in those hills now.

Brings a whole new meaning to "Fantastic family work ethics"

A true sawmill pro.

Hi Emerald, i always love it when you stand in the sun with your hair so then you look absolutely what you are : on fire !🔥🔥 For the square problem : you are right to make 180 turn to have the parallelity first (control that if you havent already). Then when cut the third side watch that you do not overpress the four fingers on the left side so take the hydraulic clamp not to high (i think middle would be good). Control after the first cut, perhaps you have to put a little underlay a the top of the four fingers because they are worn out (maybe that could be fixed). Repeat at the fourth side. Please tell me if that was use- or helpful.

You ladies are both awesome Mill specialists. Your father has taught you both very well.😊 Zero waste..👍 You're all an awesome family.

Just got my LT 15 go. Took a year. I'm so excited this video was a great help. Thank you.

Hey Ken, Might want to look into building a pizza oven. It can be a fun family project, and you can use them for all kinds of things besides pizzas.

Sounds like a great hobby. Looking forward to the additional content! 👍

BBQ segments? NOOICE!!! Can't wait!!!

great video another way to check for square is to hold a small plistic orange speed sguare on blade and eyeballing it to flat cut against uprights then use your dog thingy to adjust cant. 180 degree rotation on second cut makes it easier to make those fine adjustments on small logs. keep up good work. looking forward to bbq videos.

Nice explanation and demonstration, thanks.

Love your Red hair!! Cooking is an awesome hobby!!!!!

Simple explanation that sounds correct

Emerald and Jade thanks for another great video on how to get the best possible cant. Also while I think it's great that the Boss is getting a hobby and will be talking BBQ/Smoking wood I hope he is prepared for every backyard BBQ dad, to have something to say.🙂👍🧡

U know what your doing...no doubt about it...🇨🇦👍

Hey Ken since you and I have the same hobby I was thinking we could start a club or association to promote our hobby. It would be great and maybe we could get teenagers and the younger crowd involved since they don’t seem to have much experience with it. We could go nationwide with regional and local chapters. It would be great and beneficial to communities. What’s the hobby we share? It’s called “WORK”, which seems to becoming a lost art. Glad to see that you are going to start a new hobby which doesn’t require boots. Hope the rest of the family joins you with your new hobby too since they too share your old hobby.

My 4-year old said to me one day, "That's not a square, that's a triangle!" By the way, you probably know that lumber often shrinks diagonally when it dries, so even if it was square when it was green, it may not be when it's dry. This can be really pronounced in a larger beam, or in a beam from a crooked log, or when the beam wasn't centered in the log. There's not much that can be done about it except sawing oversized and remilling after drying. I've heard that some mills that handle more expensive lumber will reduce waste by sawing out cants and let them dry for a while before resawing into boards. Even then the outer layers of the cant will be dryer than the middle.

Another interesting video. Look forward to the new content from the Bossman.

Good morning from Kansas. Trying to catch up found a bunch of short videos. Thanks em! ❤

When I'm milling nice stuff, I like to pick the whole log up with the evener rollers when I put a flat side down on the bed. That way I can wipe any sawdust and bark off the rails.

Awesome info to turn 180 vs. 90 after 1st cut..! Great channel

BBQ segment is a great idea

Have Grandpa show you how to check your carpenter's square for square and how to adjust it if it is out of square. : ) How often do you check your mill dogs to be sure that they are still square to the bed?

It's funny that I work an office job and getting out to the woods and cutting trees is sort of a hobby for me.

been waiting to hear this. more involved than it looks.

Yeah, awesome, Ken. You deserve some fun too.😊

Double check your square. Use a 3 4 5 or 6 8 10 measure. It is possible to correct it.

Scott at ColdwarMotors helped his sister reclaim 1790 something timbers. Just think helping rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral. Oh my the Craftpersonship is mind blowing.

So dad is gonna do a grilling video? Can't wait for that.

This is a great channel, especially, if you believe in working for a good living.

A hobby that makes money, the best kinda hobby!

Happy St Patrick's Day Emerald ☘️

Looking forward to the cooking . Great video.

I'm looking forward to the live fire BBQing, I stopped using gas a few years ago and only use hardwood. I also have a pellet grill, but the hardwood grill is my go to.

Nice Birthday shirt, Ken!

I've worked with wood building garages, etc. but know nothing about milling wood. I have to say that that beam is square by what I've seen! It's wood not metal (LOL)! Great job and tutorial!

Congrats on your hobby can't wait to watch.

Good job,smart girl's,great weather,and the smells of fresh cut lumber,that's living the dream of living in the country side. Well done mate's carry on!! Devo on the block.

the dog is the clamp and the squaring pins are fixed you also gotta check the bed each time you turn the log or cant for bark and sawdust accumlation between the log and the beds and be carful you dont saw the top of the squaring pins off like I do

Cant wait for outdoor cooking. You might even get me to start using my grill

I can't think of a better hobby than cooking bbq. Can't wait to see the results of your hobby.

When you enjoy work as much as Ken it is a hobby lol.

use a square to check the log to mill bed , when you rotate the log

I love this channel.

How often do you get wavy lumber due to dull blades or the guide being to far away from the log?

another awesome video and I look forward to the BBQ cooking. Thanks for all ya’ll do for us 👍

I enjoy your channel

you are a wealth of knowledge.
