Hello Zack, I recently discovered your channel and am thoroughly enjoying your content. After watching and listening to you on a few videos I have been impressed by your professionalism. Had never seen anyone logging with mules, loading logs with a side loader or sharing their knowledge on scaling and grading logs. Most of all I’m impressed by your honesty and willingness to share your Christian faith. May God continue to bless you and your family!

Thank you sir, that means an awful lot to me. I really appreciate your kind words about my content and channel. And also my Christian walk. I do try my best to be a good Christian man. I often fail. But I do try and I believe it’s important to tell others for sure. Thank you again for watching and commenting! Take care and do come again, please!

Thank you for your videos, Im stuck in town, Enid Oklahoma. We don't have very many trees here. Would love to have a pair of mules or horses, and live where I could log. But I might be getting too old. I'm 64, be 65 in February. But your videos get me away from town and in the woods. So thank you again. 😊

Hello sir, just started watching your channel. Love to content so far! My dad has been watching you some as well, he really enjoys it, he’s an old logger/sawmill man. He and his dad ran a portable circular sawmill back in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. I believe they had a frick. (It was before my time, I’m 41). But dad (82) has told be stories about their mules and tracts of timber they cut and sawed thought out the county years ago. They had 2 mules and a Farmall tractor with hydraulic log cart. We are in Va. Anyways, it ms always good to see some good light hearted content on tv, thank you for sharing your content with us! Keep up the good work!

Excellent Video! Great explanation of grading hardwood saw logs and tie logs. It's hard for some to grasp how grading works especially on higher grade stuff. To the untrained it's hard to tell the difference in say a $1 a foot white oak log and a $3 a foot log. This is great info for landowners thinking of selling some hardwood saw timber . Good job, Sir!

You're welcome , Sir. Suggestion for another vid. If you could get one of the big mills you sell to let you tour and video it would be great. Show folks the big bandsaw , re-saw (aka run-a-round) , grade chain and how lumber is graded would really tie it all together. Stay safe out in the woods and God bless. @@zachodom7486

I also wanna get with the mill graders and get a good video on how they scale and grade also. That’ll enlighten a lot of people. Thanks again, and take care!

Wow thank you very educational, when I was operating my dry kiln wood shop your log that scaled to 127 bd ft, I would have scaled down to 115 bd ft but as I loaded the kilns I would scale each row, so many inches wide x so many inches long x the thickness then divide by 144 for 1 square foot,this is where your 127 ft would be my lumber dollar. And we are not going to elaborate on the government, but now in my area all structural lumber is weighted and the hard wood mill I'll just say they are having difficulty getting logs.
