Things To Know About Lumber. Cut your own premium lumber and become your own lumber yard with a portable sawmill. Quarter Sawn lumber has long been thought the best way to make your own lumber. We talk you through the modern quarter sawed lumber process and show it on our portable sawmill. I did not know the tips when I first became a sawyer. These principles apply to all types of sawn lumber products. With high lumber prices, it is important to understand how to get from logs to lumber. Make good use of your timber. Thanks for watching, and have a great week.

This is the first time I have had anyone explain why I would want quarter sawn wood, Thanks. Now I want a sawmill.

I appreciate your comment. If you look at the lumber sold at the big box stores, they are passing off poor cuts for prime cuts. I truly enjoy the sawmill.

I never knew this Tony. Good stuff to know. I'm soon gonna be retired at age 61. Then I'm gonna get me a sawmill. You've explained things in layman's terms that I can understand. Makes sense I've bought 1 inch lumber at sawmill and have seen and experienced the cupping your talking about. This is good to know, and how to prevent this from happening. Thanks buddy.

if you've ever had the opportunity to salvage an old house (1900 or so) you might notice the interior trim is often flat sawn pieces, and if you see the back side they probably have been plowed out with a plow axe to break the grain so they wont cup. even new trim has a back cut on it to relieve the grain to prevent cupping. thx for the informative vids. everytime i watch your vids i get closer to ordering one.

It is an art. After a year, I am seeing basic grain characteris. 😁

@paulbriggs3072 7 ай бұрын

The more dense the grain, the better? In the case of oaks for instance, the denser the growth rings, the more brittle and weaker the wood. The wider the growth rings, (faster grown) the stronger the wood. This is the opposite of softwoods. I agree that its nice to make your own real 2 by real 4 lumber. Here in New York State, they stopped requiring stamped lumber be used for homebuilding if its rough cut. You can use rough cut non-stamped lumber for a house and it will pass code. They did this around 10 years ago to help small sawmills and found that the quality was every bit as good as stamped lumber when inspected. One of the few states that allow this. (Luke 24:46-47)

Like your video , first I’ve seen of yours. Quarter sawing is the way to go, but time consuming if production is key and yes go with a larger engine or sharp blade. Either way ,sharpen your own blades is a huge plus if milling often stay safe

I'm miling Nor Calif Black Walnut. from watch I am cutting for figure mostly so I mostly find a fork/crotch and cut that way. I'm kinda scared to quarter saw because so far, when I look, the wood grain loses some of its "wow" factor. What sayeth thou:: should I cut black walnut as slabs or is there more value in quarter saw. PS. Soon I am cutting a 20" dia 10' tall walnut and its straight.... I await your suggestions.

@donshaughnessy3281 3 жыл бұрын

Fantastic video. You were spot on with your advice. I had the same learning curve when I got my 023 in 2019. If you upgrade to a 14 hp, you will need to upgrade the centrifugal clutch. You can throw a Predator 8 hp (301cc) on use the same clutch. Brings your torque up to 14.9 ft lbs which is what really gives you your cutting power. I have one ready to put on mine, but we've downsized and moved from our house of 30 years about 3 weeks ago. Sawmill time has not appeared on my wife's to do list yet. I'll shoot you an update once I install it.

Hi since getting hold of Norwood is impossible, We have assembled our OS31, thought we had all square, but when we roll the cutting head all the way to the front, it contacts one stop and is still 1" from the other stop. What is the easiest way to get the sides "unskewed"? Any help will be appreciated.

This sawmill is good for somebody with a lot of time on their hands with the amount of time and money you spent running your machine. Your tractors you could have went to the box store and bought the 2 by fours. And already had the project built. Sorry, Tony, but I'm looking at the facts.

@TonysTractorAdventure 4 ай бұрын

The fact is this. I like having the sawmill. I use the tractors for a lot more than just the sawmill. I cut 6 White Oak beams that cost more than the sawmill. There is a lot more to the world than just 2x4s

@williamdias4473 4 ай бұрын

That's not the point. The point is the fuel that you use to run the sawmill. And the tractor cost just as much as buying the 2 by force. And not to mention all the time, it takes to run the 2 / 4 a lot of time. You're better off going down buying the 2 by fours that you want it be a lot cheaper. That's my point. I can see making special cuts beams and other large pieces of wood but 2 by fours. It's just the waste of time and energy.
