Thank you David. Very kind of you to say. Always good to have encouragement.

I think it’s better the way your dad said it. The other words just don’t have the same ring to them. 😁

Thanks adirondackwoodman. I don’t know what it is about the Adirondacks but seems like there are a lot of cool people from there.

@@WilsonForestLands you just have my sense of humor 😂

Would you get bored at that board meeting?

Only if they bored into my head.

Please stop guys… my brain is starting to hurt. 😫

I was lumbering through the comments and ran into this one. Thanks Dave.

That’s interesting, snow on the mill made you think to make a shed. It made me think to strap on a snowboard and ride sawdust mountain. 😁

Awesome to have a rancher in Texas watching. I’m not sure what you mean by layout. Do you mean how I decide where to make the cuts?

After watching this video I think the layout should be nearly almost perfect, you can't go wrong with that!

Oh I hate cutting into chains and wedges. That’s even worse than dirt. Logging cables are no fun either.

@@WilsonForestLands right. I've done got the best of this chain. I guess that I'm gonna have to put a new one on now

Hardly rained at all, just a few showers overnight. Sawmill shed schmawmill shed.

@@WilsonForestLands LOL. Stay dry my friend.

I am sure glad I have an audience with a good sense of humor. If not, I would be hosed. 😁

A debarker would definitely be way more useful to me than a shed.

Thank you. I am in an undisclosed location in Southern Oregon. Not Applegate, but not too far from there.

Thanks! love your humor and your professionalism. I was an OSU grad but recently settled down after years of working in the Bay Area east of Redding with a sawmill and a great love of good forestry practices..@@WilsonForestLands

I have the 14hp. it’s adequate on the larger cuts but more would be better. Thanks for this sms suggestion, I never thought of that before. 😁

Yes, the " “almost nearly perfect” plan " / seeing THE PLAN that has been put in place to be seen. I started thinking with 2 cords / 1,000 board feet per day just as Mr Woodmizer was in his workshop thinking he could scale-up the shop bandsaw he made into a small sawmill. Seeing what so many different people have figured out I now foresee a 3 bay utility building for direct log trailer - to mill - to wheeled drykiln "charge carrier" stickered with sticker "mats" for rapid accurate stickering and to facilitate drying of short boards - to outside the building easily movable small wood fired high efficiency drykiln/wood storage unit. 3 saw mill head powered from outside the building via the multi-purpose hydraulic power source / log transporter (or electric option), moving across the mill base that has manual end dogging, with one moveable unit to adjust for log length, capable of minimal necessary log elevation and with 4 90 degree stop rotation for rapid log positioning in the sawing process, where applicable . 3 saw mill head combining Bandsaw with built in 2 blade "edger unit" with radial arm saw type "edger" heads rotatable 90 degrees to both debark a notch on each side of the log enabling the following bandsaw blade to cut into clean wood and to facilitate production by edging boards on the log as they are cut off especially useful for making small short boards from the under utilized slabs. Yielding the archetypical pattern mill setup capable of efficiently, fully utilizing the logs by producing home building components for building homes designed to be built with those components. Equipment designed to be built in the garage workshop and within the vo-tec school system for reordering society via small scale New Era Home Builders building high quality, low cost, energy efficient (home building site manufactured and installed finely shredded wood fiber blown into deep bay, parallel chord truss unified building framing for simplified, tilt up, construction) New Era Homes for New Era Communities foundational for a coming GOLDEN AGE of FREEDOM in PEACE on OUR EARTH

They only told me I needed a sawmill shed. What you just describe sounds way better than that. Sign me up for that.

@@WilsonForestLands I expect you volunteered to put your name on the list a long time ago (or you "were volunteered"). You figure things out, You share what you figure out.

Sounds like a great idea. If only I had a sloped property and a source of lumber. Oh well. 😁 Welcome to the channel.

Very well said. 😁

I haven’t noticed any significant drop in subscriber numbers. They have been consistently increasing. But that would be obnoxious if they were doing something like that. I just did a video about sharpening blades. I always sent them to Woodmizer resharp. But now that they ended resharp, I still am not sure what I’m going to do now.

Yeah I’m starting to question the whole stationary mill situation in general. Been looking at that mobile conversion kit.

That's what I did. Started on the ground, put a trailer under it and then life changed and the sky's opened up...and then Wood-Mizer spoke to me and I bought a Hydraulic mill and the rest is history! ha!@@WilsonForestLands

Yeah that would be the number one-ish reason. And that time thing you mentioned, that thing can be a bummer.

I do have an 8 foot umbrella I use for my wood splitter. That’s for shade when it’s sunny. I have thought about doing the same with the sawmill. Although I’m less concerned about rain on me, more concerned about things like rain washing the mud on the logs all over the clean wood.

Yeah, sawmill sheds are for girls. Unless I decide to build one. Then it won’t be for girls anymore. But for now it is. 😁

I hadn’t thought about the noise, that is a good point. But I have thought about exhaust and the fine sawdust in the air. I have been looking at the mobile conversion kit for this mill. For both mobility and height. I have no experience with eastern hemlock, but from what I hear, our Douglas fir is better in many ways. You made some good points.

If you use your mill in the same spot try to decide what direction the wind blows at the time of day you are sawing so one can set the mill so the dust and fume's blow away from you happy sawing from john@@WilsonForestLands

Well I suppose if someone was to give me one I wouldn’t turn it down.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the rain and snow of outrageous weather, or to take arms against a sea of troubles with construction tools, and preventing them from getting my stuff all wet.

@@WilsonForestLands blah ha ha pretty funny !

Maybe sometimes, but two cants don’t always make a can. See, you’re not the only one who needs to get a life. 😁

Good at least I got one person on board. 😁

We don’t have much snow here either, maybe one of the reasons I haven’t been motivated to build one.

I wanted to but my high school career guidance counselor discouraged me. He said there was no future in it. But now I can see all the possibilities. I could do Podcasts, a weather complaining channel. and yes, the shaking fist thing. If only I wouldn’t have listened to him.
