13:45 I thank you for your explanation of 4 quarter verses 1". In the Pacific Northwest, I was a choker setter for a very short time behind a skidder in my very early 20's. I also worked in a mill for a few years in my late 30's, so I'm familiar with the measuring system (kind of) but never understood why 4/4 sometimes and 1" other times. Now, thanks to you, I finally get it at 70 years old. 🤪😜🤣

Your videos are worth watching multiple times. The sawing videos are almost hypnotically soothing. You are fearless. Not afraid to try something new. You make your own sawmill, logging trailer, and flooring. As an artist, your medium is wood. I am jealous. My media are computer chips and software. At Ti, a new computer CPU chip cost at least $20,000,000. A mechanical engineer told me the mold for a plastic part costs $50,000. Your costs are much lower. Please do another "A Day in the Woods" video.

I remember when Matt used to move everything by hand and used to show cut times for the logs. Machines save your body wear and tear while gaining productivity. I want to find a limb with a 90° bend in it... Or close to it so i can make a corner bench for my kitchen!

the quarter scale makes sense to me as well. I'm always "converting" in my head - 4 quarter is a little thicker, and finished will likely be about 3/4" if it's commercial, and could be as much as an inch thick depending on the place that finishes it.
@williammaxwell1919 11 ай бұрын
It's the only thing about the emperial measurement system that makes sense to me these days! I will admit that in the days before digital measuring and point clouds, if I had to measure up a building that had been built with imperial measurements, I'd measure it with a feet and inches tape measure. I never measured anything with chains and links, though that system of measurement is entirely fascinating in its own right. Oh, did I mention that I'm an architect?

As I watched you stacking those planks in the horse shelter I was thinking how easy it would be for you to injure your back. Please take great care when you are handling those large, heavy and awkward chunks of tree!! I injured my back moving a large, heavy sofa bed when I was about 47 or 48. I am now 67 and, even on my best days, my back has never been the same. Even when I was in my best physical condition, I had to be aware of my back and very careful how I positioned my feet and body for the "angle of attack" when approaching any lifting task. As they say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."!!! I truly pray you never have to suffer such an injury!! Please take care while you are still young!

I am not sure why I drawn to watch you saw wood but it is addictive. As a matter of interest Matt, what do you think is better as far as drying of sawn logs? Is there a difference in final quality between air dried and kiln dried?
@rogerr1296 11 ай бұрын
Take it for what it's worth from an "older" gentleman but, you might want to consider looking into things to help you out with jobs like flipping the logs on the sawmill, stacking... I know you are the type that really enjoys the hard work and so was/am I but, you're getting closer to the stage of life that you'll start to notice little "hints", shall we say...lol, that you're getting closer to the ole proverbial hill. I'm not saying to change everything now but, you might start thinking about what you can do and start doing it over time. It will help keep your body in a little better condition for a longer period of time so you can enjoy doing what you enjoy doing for as long as possible. Trust me, once you do something like mess up your back at any age, there's not a lot they can do to make it the way it was, and it will just accelerate your..... well, journey over the hill.

Never the burn pile! Give them away to local makers if you don’t want them. I’ve gotten most of my material from the free pile at the mill and from trees downed from storms. Use every bit that you can, and pass along what you can’t use. I wish I lived near you because I would beg for all your scraps!

You could cut your "off cuts" into fire wood and use it to heat your big building. They make outdoor wood boilers that you could use with your hydronic heat in the floor and also run a hot water loop to your house and install a hydronic heat exchanger in your house furnaces.
