Check out my latest blog entry on how I price my kiln dried wood. www.outofthewoodsforestry.com/single-post/2019/06/10/A-good-way-for-a-small-Sawmill-to-price-their-wood

This is why KZfaq is (supposed to be) so great. You're just a regular guy, but somewhere in there, there was an artist waiting to emerge. You have excellent directorial abilities and a keen eye. That piano at the end came out of nowhere, and was the perfect ending to this video.

Dude, you killed it with the background music. Very well done.

good to see a person who loves to go to work, who doesn't few this as a job..but a great paying hobby..your shop is looking so much better..

I like the new camera angles, the one from underneath shows of the new roof coating beautifully ! I’m sure that will be a huge help under different conditions👍🏼

A maestro of the sawmill at work again!

I do enjoy your inventive camera angles!

That cutter is freaking bad ass !

I was sawing 8x8 in white oak today for my post and beam screened in porch .

Your music selections make your videos all the more interesting.

Nice, I love watching the mill do it's thing! I like "Out of the Darkness"It just seems to be you and the hidden beauty on every log you open up with all their untold stories.

Happy Father's Day at the saw mill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!!!

Your shop is looking better. Love your whittling on the 6x6 . Am waiting for more walnut. Have a blessed Fathers day❤

I like that camera angle, looking up with the camera sat on top of the log. That was a good choice. I also enjoyed the piano sonata music near the end, another great choice.

THANK YOU! SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!! MISSED YOU MY MAN!

I view this whole sawmill setup as a breath of fresh air. Gotta say I've enjoyed all of it.

Miss your narration Nathan. A very good video. Nice work as usual.

It is so refreshing to see your sawmill operation after stopping in at a local (and surprisingly successful) sawmill today that did not know what quartersawn or 5/4 meant, and it looked like they just cut all their logs however they fell on the bed of the mill as live edge slabs.

Wow Nathan you done a Awesome Job cutting that wood

Turned out perfect !!!

That LT 40 is fun to watch and that is some nice looking white oak beams that should last a long long time. Thanks for another great video!

That is so cool. Seems like you have to think spatially for each individual timber to visualize the best way to economically produce the product you need. It's a fascinating and somewhat mysterious process to me but it's becoming clearer watching Nathan do his thing.

Listening to the interlude at the end makes me want to bust out a glass of Merlot and light up A Virginia Slim while reclining in my Barcalounger . ☺

Magnificent looking timber!!

Great video, just love the music and watching an artisan at work, thank you

Nice job again Nathan. Looks like some great wood! All the best Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧

Its good to have you back Nathan. That is some pretty work on those beams. I have to say that the cherry you sawed lately was the prettiest stuff I've ever seen. Keep it up.

Beautiful. The production and music on this episode are great. I'm really digging it.

Nathan it was very creative the angles of the camera. The 6 x 6 will make great posts. I like the quietness of the new mill. Have a very blessed Father's Day with your son and family.

Great music selection!

Nathan, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the underside of a working engine, looking so clean! Bloody Good Show! 👍🏼

I like that you chose the stationary operators controls on your new machine.

Cool video plain simple to the point knives always love your background music not loud not stupid usually really great music love the watch your videos dude

Love it! Great video!

Your work sure looks like fun---

That saw mill looks like something rom NASA with all thye flashing lights. Really enjoy your videos.

Love the ending song

I never tire of watching those logs turning into boards and beams. Or the music either! Ya got good taste Nathan and Thanks Kindly! When are we going to hear a few songs you play? DaveyJO in Pa.

Woah going classical on us with the background music

Very very nice.

Nice timbers!

I love the smell of Oak, Oak is a beautiful wood . I love white oak and red oak.

My man Nathan Elliott .. just over the North Carolina border into the mountains of Tennessee , has a real live reverence for Wood . He takes carefully harvested trees (NOT from clear-cutting..) and sawmills them into lumber . He is GOOD at what he does . Nathan just traded uP to a wider sawmill so he can expand his sizes . Here , he takes a 10 foot log of White Oak , a beautiful solid hardwood which thrives in the Carolina/Tennessee climes , and makes the exact cuts to retrieve all usable lumber from the round log , with the Ultimate Intention to extract a 6 x 6 inch Post of pure Heart white Oak .. yesh indeed . Y'all go 'head and wartch a master craftsman at work ~~~~~ ~>

nice work there Nathan. gotta love the smell of fresh cut timber though I know the pine sap drives ya a lil crazy. best wishes to you n yours from me n tommy the crazy cat.

100% chance of sawdust flurries at "Out of the Woods". Nice camera angles. All we've had in NW PA is 100% rain! Need to get me a sawmill shop like yours, then rain or shine I'll be milling.

Happy Father's Day Nathan

Nice!

Nice 6x6...White oak on top...

Great video Nathan, the camera angles worked really well. You must be really happy with the LT40. Marinus

Loved the outro music ...

Looks like you are almost outside the shop the rain/snow is going to be a problem that will need some thought. At least you get plenty of fresh air way back there. Great creativity on the camera shots.

Very nice beam. Straight A's an arrow! I do miss Miss Kitty though! However, I'm gonna give you 👍👍's up anyway. Thanks...

Great videos! What do you do with the very first piece you cut?

I like when you mill dimensional lumber! Will you be doing OTW hats again? I’d love to get one if you do👍

Love the videos. What do you do with all the sawdust?

Happy Fathers Day tomorrow

What was that last piece of music? The Piano piece?

What a saw w0w.....Thanks..! Why don't you run a flexable exhaust pipe out up thru the top of your building...?

Another great video. Just curious, will that beam twist or warp at all now that you have removed the bark?

Boxed heart in this one? Do you try to avoid the pith? I realize this log was not nearly as large as some, perhaps making it impossible to get out a 6x6 without including the pith. Wonderful videos I love watching. Thanks!

I have to plan for every thing.. you know whet I mean

So what do you call the pieces that you cut off? I think it would be really cool to make benches for my beach property out of those? And if you know someone who I could call in Washington to get some would be great! I know that's a long shot

Awesome wood sir. Are you near creech farms where you could go for hayrides and everything. Remember that down your way years back.

I like the automation in handling rotation of the logs. Regarding the de-barker. I get the impression its a "sacrificial" blade to take a nail hit before the main blade. Is that correct? And why no de-barker on the other side? The exiting side of main blade is less prone to rock or nail damage?

Mmm, I can smell that oak right across the Pond. If I lived in a house like Downton Abbey I'd ship loads of those panels over here... but I don't. 😄 Is there a reason why you don't wear a mask, at least some of the time? Sawdust + breathing is probably not a good idea in the long-term and as you can't give up on breathing, seems to me the sawdust is the easiest problem to solve.

How are you finding standing at the controls and not walking with the saw? Also might want to get an anti-fatigue mat to stand on. They're money if you have to stand at a machine for long periods.

Nathan, I've been meaning to ask you what you do with those barked flitches? Years ago I volunteered with an organization in middle Tennessee that got them delivered from sawmills to a location where they were cut to length, bundled, and donated to the elderly and poor who heated with wood. It's been a long time, but I think it might have been operated by or with the Sheriff's office because the men cutting them at the wood yard were all trusty inmates from the workhouse. I think they might have also cut up downed trees and powerline cleared trees for firewood, too. If you have more than you need for you own use, it might be worth a phone call to see if your county has a similar program.

Nice work, Nathan. Now, if that outside wall was a flip up or a roll up so you could put logs directly on the mill with your tractor, naw, you gotta have a little exercise; don’t want to get fat, 😃🤣😅😂. Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍

What blade did you use for that Oak?

With access to oak, why'd you want to use douglas fir for the timber frame you were planning?

Nice music choices. Thank you for the intelligence. ||| Question: Have you heard of Vacuum Drying?

How soon do we get to see the sawdust /vacuum shed being built?

Looks like you're finally starting to have fun with your new sawmill. I like the view from the wood's perspective. How often do you have to sharpen the debarker blade? Or am I missing something?

What do you do with the slab wood?

Don't you just love the smell of sawdust in the morning - even if it ain't black walnut?

I miss the smell of fresh cut white oak.

That looks like hickory too me based on the bark, how is this white oak?

Nathan are you mad at me ..I just trying to be like your shop its impressive..that's why I am asking the questions

The 9 dislikes must because not walnut and no crotch

I'd also love to see a vacuum system installed even though you are in a very open workplace or at the very least install a large slow moving fan to keep dust particles moving away from you as you work. Your long term health is always a good investment.

Is that Yanni at the end.

Am I weird? I liked the sound of your old Mill and this one not so much... and I'm a Diesel guy (trucks, tractors etc)

What a saw w0w.....Thanks..! Why don't you run a flexable exhaust pipe out up thru the top of your building...?
