It was great meeting you, Billy! Anxious to see your slab work this week.

How cool to see all the machines... and the prices, lol. Have fun my friend :)

Perfect timing. I just bought a 60” Alaskan Mark IV chainsaw mill. Thanks for the video.

Very Informative video! First timers need to watch this!

Hardwood trees hold on the bark tight in the winter, but it peels right off in the spring. I use the straight claw of a framing hammer to debark just along the cut line (that's where a laser level would be a great tool). Any who doesn't think cleaning up a log before milling with a chain saw has never sharpened all the way around a 52" chain!

Hi, Bill. Amazing that you're already posting videos after the Open House! Looking forward to seeing you slice that log up, and I think you'll definitely get a good response to chain saw sharpening and axe building videos, too. Amazing to meet you & the other posters. Stay safe & keep in touch.

You should shut your mouth..

I would just block anyone that puts up creepy content. Saying Emerald had beautiful eyes is about as far as I can handle. Anything more is creepy.

Thank you for these videos. I am putting my HD38 together now and your videos have been so helpful

Those girls need to wear their Berkas!

I’m a Christian. One thing I’ve told people is that you don’t mess with His children. He will defend them. I’ve witnessed this many times.

Bill, where did you purchase your Doyle scale rule ?

Thank you for a great instructional video!! My dryer just went down last night. This is a big help! Thanks again!! 👍

Hi Bill, my name is Tom FitzGerald and I work in the R&D department at Mechanix Wear. Love the video and feel you would be a great candidate to field test some prototype gloves for us. Is this something you would be interested in? Honest feedback from people like you (who do real world work) really help us to better our products. Let me know what you think and I'll drop my email. Hope to hear from you!

That's a nice looking piece of walnut-- thanks for showing the close-up of the grain patterns! Those banana pieces can be a pain, though. Would there have been a down side to cutting the log with the sweep sideways to get curved slabs? The right customer would love them for signs, benches or table tops. I think everyone knows the frustration of getting to just within an inch or two of the end of the log only to catch the flare at the butt end. I use plastic logging wedges to open up the kerf, back the blade up a few inches, saw off the tip of the log, and finish the cut. A cordless electric chain saw is perfect for that. And those cleats on the log rests should lock into place. Hope to see you at the open house!

William, you are way out of line with this video. These are grown women who work for a living and they are fully capable of making their own decisions. It is creepy that they have a bunch of old men inspecting their clothes and telling them what to wear and what to do. If you had a genuine concern you should have taken it directly to them, not opened it up as a worldwide discussion that they did not ask for. And BTW, that tobacco you dip is bad for your health. I am concerned and wanted to let you know.

I don't see how you talking about this to the general public benefits the girls safety.

I echo this concern. May God watch over them.

The mill is ok, The operators are something interesting.

Not what i expected to see today. With all the negative stuff on the internet it is nice to see people sticking together and promoting family values and family business. I live in Canada and do not know them or you personally. Good people need to stick together. I worked 35 years as a mental health nurse. Mental health resources are lacking in many countries. Stick together and be safe. There are crazy people every where. God Bless You!!!

GREAT video, and attention to detail. Hope your channel grows!

You took the words right out of my mouth 👍

This is one lumber Miller capitalizing on a more popular miller for KZfaq views. That's the disgusting part. This man is the dangerous creep.

I just bought a Toughbuilt i think this was my 2nd choice thanks for the honest review

Well done! I have the same machine (2 actually). The first one didn’t have carrier bars, so I got the second one since it did. It also had the big bandsaw sharpening attachment as well. I am hoping to try it out soon.

I wonder what your opinion is on our channel.

You need to buy the DeWalt support bars to supplement those extension rollers.Of course it will deflect if there is no support bar.

Thanks Bill. Never considered up pressure on guide blocks could be an issue. Will keep an eye on that.

The lumber girls make money by showing their bodies in very short shorts and tight tops. And they know that their videos have a sexualized component. Just compare your typical logging clothes to theirs. They do non-logging stuff such as dancing in thight clothes. They exactly know what they are doing. They make money by attracting guys interested in sex, so nobody should complain about "creeps" or "inappropriate comments", neither the girls nor the viewers. Its just their KZfaq business model. But I understand that one can be worried if it is the right business mode. Its a very mild form of OnlyFans.

I think I’d gusset the support bracket on the left (drive) side. If you just take it off and weld in some gussets it won’t bend or flex. Those nylon guide bushings look like they’ll wear all right. I run a Woodmizer LT 40 hydraulic and the blade guide runs on rollers with what resemble very narrow v-pulleys with square bar in them. They can be finnicky as well but they at least have bearings in them. Maybe you can modify yours to run on roller bearings or something. As far as blades breaking, I usually get 3 or 4 sharpenings out of a blade and then they’ll break. I think it’s work-hardening. My old grinding system won’t get right through the gullet like the new CBN wheels do so maybe that’s part of it although I’ve heard other people say that they don’t get much more even with the gullet ground out to get rid of cracks. I think maybe your mill runs larger diameter blade wheels so I think that would help if it’s a work-hardening issue. Milling is a bunch of work but it’s rewarding in many ways as you say. It can be a hobby that pays its own way and sometimes much better.

If I had the money I would have a woodmizer or a Cooks. There are many quirks with these Norwood machines, You get what you pay for, affordable but with issues.

Do I need to turn off the gas too?

Lift each end

This video is wonderful, it truly made my day! 😊

I watched 7.5 min of this video and felt like you just wanted to hear yourself talk. bye.

Looks really good

Looks really good

Nice job Kaye and William. I'm

Yup, cedar can give surprises too, and there can be a lot of waste and taper doesn't help so you get 3,4,5,6 foot boards out of an 8 or 10 foot log. You never know till you start slicing. I have someone down the road asking if I want to buy some black locust logs, should I pull the trigger and what price ?

Black locust is black light reactive. For the algorithm!!

Loved this video so much, it's truly fantastic! 💯

Nice clickbait. I probably wouldn't have watched otherwise. I agree 100% with your concerns and glad they are aware.

I'm in awe of the creativity and talent showcased in this video.

Just found this now. Been a big fan of the Breon family for a while. I wear my Lumber Capital merch with pride. I almost started crying at the end of this video. Its a sad reminder of the troubled world we live in. Love to you all. Stay strong and keep doing what you love.

Another repugnacant projecting .

Hey Bill, I have something to share about the new roller guides from Norwood. I have had my mill for a little over two years and for the first time it cut into one of my backstops. Completely destroyed the blade and bent the bracket holding the roller guide on the exhaust side of the mill. Bent so bad that the guide was pointing down about 8 degrees. Looking at the bracket, it has an inherent weakness. It is simply a bent piece of mild steel. Where the bracket bends back on itself and creates a seam, it needs to be fully welded and maybe a gusset added as well. This is a problem that everyone that has this kit needs to be aware of. This is the only problem I have had since installing the roller guide kit. Have cut hundreds of board feet and no issues til now. This is an easy fix.

possibly instead of casting shade on legit good people doing their thing we should be casting shade on these commenters and ill willed people that their behavior won't be tolerated.

Hey brother I can fix all your tools problems . I own a small tool repair business and I will tell you like I tell everyone else stop buying that yellow shit shit shit!!!! No customer service no repair centers close by turn around times 6+ months . Buy the red tools and the dark blue tools Milwaukee and Bosch are the best out there yes they cost more but the quality is much better their American made and they care about your experience with their products. Trust I always loved DeWalt till I switched careers to tool)small engine tech warranty service guy. I do warranty for Makita Hitachi/metabo rolair titan Honda Briggs and what I have found is DeWalt after being bought by Stanley totally abandoned their customers that needed service/warranty work which ruins the brand for me plus sub par chucks and parts premature failures ECT ECT ECT.........

Good morning. What a beautiful job on that slab. Your friend will cherish it for sure. Thank you for taking the time to show us the process from start to finish. I enjoy your milling videos and the woodworking videos so please continue to put out great content. Have a great day.
