It was great to see how you cut that metal out of the tree - and very clever to check the rest with the metal detector (wouldn't have thought of that). I love the way you ensure best quality of outcome by clearing dirt / bark off the log, sharpening the blades, removing resin halfway through etc. It's just great watching you work especially with old equipment that still do a good job with the care and maintenance you give them. Great job Marty!

When I watch someone mill I remember how much work it was and how much less the log seemed to yield than I thought it would. Pretty much everything I cut was 4/4 so it took forever to get through three logs. I'm sure I never broke even based on what the mill cost, but I've got to admit that it made me feel good to make furniture out of wood that I milled myself. Thanks for the video!

I have a small oak paperweight in my desk, cut from a block of firewood by my dad, with a large lead "wadcutter bullet" imbedded in it. We were splitting firewood and he spotted it inbedded in the log. It's very old. He used his saw to cut the little block with the bullet out, and he gave it to me to polyurethane and sand smooth. It sits on my desk today, and reminds me of my days as a kid cutting firewood with dad. I'll never forget him saying "glad I didn't hit that with my Jonsered!" which is funny, because if there was a nail or bolt in a tree, we would ALWAYS seem to find it with the chainsaw. Good video, as always, Marty.

I have never seen a sawmill like this before. I like it!! It is good to see the life of a tree being extended into something useful like this. Naturally, firewood is one good viable way to use wood, but turning something that once was so grand and noble into a part of something or into a piece of furniture brings joy and sense of connection with the property itself. That sentiment stems from growing up on a Welsh farm in a very, very old farmhouse. My bedroom door was made by my great grandfather out of larch that was felled on the farm. Nothing fancy, but the chest of drawers in my parents' bedroom was also made by him (not larch) and is a family treasure that is really under appreciated.

I've seen saws like this drip a coolant onto the blades to keep them cleaner and sharper for longer. Some of those 2x4s will be pretty weak in the middle because of that large knot, but there isn't a lot you can do about that other than cut 4x4s out of the worst sections and save the prime stuff for your preferred dimensions. Very nice all told. I would be very happy with pretty much every board you have thats over 2" thick. I've also seen some people use bailing wire to clamp the cauls/stickers to force prevent warping as it seems pretty resin filled and maybe a bit green. You can also paint the ends with pitch, house paint or whatever to slow down the drying at the ends and prevent splitting. Sorry for leaving such a large comment. I'd hate to see your hard work spoiled by unseasonable weather.
