    Of all the sawing videos I've watched you are the only one that voice over explained what you were doing, well done

    I don't comment often. I'm impressed. Dude knows his stuff!

    Call me crazy but I still think that's a real nice piece of wood. Good job saving it from the firewood pile. Thanks!

    Probably the best psycho therapy available. Thanks for sharing, brother. Love your work.

    Very much enjoy your running commentary. I’m merely an elderly city slicker who is fascinated with how you sawyers employ your craft.

  • Thanks for sharing your expertise in milling. That hydraulic mill sure in impressive. Following from Sydney Australia.

    I had not heard the term "fletch" before. I'll use it from now on. Thanks!

    Enjoyed listening and watching the skills of saving the wood. I recently saw a similar saw and trees being cut up into roof beams at my uncle’s farm in Leitrim, Ireland. Amazing to see. Thank you for sharing your expertise & saving such a greatly aged tree which lives on. Happy New Year to you and your family, friends & colleagues.

    That old log made some beautiful lumber. This is the first video of yours that I've ever watched and your voice reminds me of a very dear friend of mine that I've known for 50 years now. I really enjoyed the video sir. Take care and may you and your family have an amazing New Year.

    You can get a minelab 900 which is about $1150 and should last a lifetime. The ones that are made for logs can cost up to $4000 and won't detect any better. It also has a telescoping handle for ease of use and you can hang it on the wall for convenient use.

    Awesome ! I used to have only 25 Acres & heated house with 2 stoves . I called a guy in every year . He had a 40-20 cord King . He could process 17 Bush Cord in 4 hours ! I would load logs . He Cost about $500 ! Well worth it !

    I can see the different issues you faced doing a salvage log that must of laid in some yard for a good while before you got hold of it. Expensive at times but then there is the log with a nice reward that evens things hopefully
