    great job guys!! if you guys want to minimise your waste when cutting 16 footer you can always cut a 8-10-12' piece on your first cut, start cutting at half the log.. you then cut your waste in less than half

    Awesome job gentlemen! Just a word of advice from a fellow sawyer, make sure to run your engine when using your hydraulics, it will quickly drain your battery if you don't. keep sawing!!!
  • Y’all did good. The waste ( slabs) someone might buy to side a barn or storage building. Rustic look. Don’t forget eye protection 😊

    Good stuff y'all! Definitely a bit jelly. While watching others mill, I notice some people mill three flat sides first. Doing so may help with reducing waste, or increasing yield. Looks as though your doing fine, nonetheless. Please, and again, please do not stick your arm under the logs to clear debris. Use a tool; don't be a tool. Best!
  • Great work and great video guys! Keep up the hard work. Where about a in VT? My mom was from St. Albans.
  • Hello from Chile. My son Thomas and I are looking at the LT40 here in Chile. What do you think ? We hope to be milling exotic hardwoods here in Chile WAAAAAAAAAAyyyyyy south of us here in Patagonia. We would have to have the saw mill brought in by ship or helicopter. It would be cool if you both could come down and give us a hand. We have been here for 10 years from Chile. On the other side of the globe from VERMONT for sure. My son Thomas is the last of the 6 home with us and he is excited seeing you all do this work. Jim
  • DO NOT put your arm under the logs...hydraulics can give out. Use a broom. Various stuff will come out of sawdust shoot, be careful with that too! Maybe a saw dust trough? easier to sweep out. If the farm doesn't need it (imagine you do) you can sell sawdust too. Study up on hydraulic maintenance especially with cold weather coming. Wear goggles (or your Dad's glasses).

    Broken blades will come out of the chute, even with the fingers in there.
