I never thought watching a log getting cut could be so much fun. Better than cutting a diamond!
-
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans youtube.com/post/UgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR… i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
-
As an old guy I am very proud of you for the great work you do. This show was a treat. Thank you.
-
That slab-flipping setup is pure engineering genius. Simple and highly effective; the best kind of solution.
-
That drive-by water toss was epic. Beautiful slabs you have there!
-
I love watching how you read the story of the wood patterns. It’s fascinating and I’m learning! I adore wood and really appreciate the fascinating patterns that develop for myriad of reasons. I have to say that yellow pine, and birdseye maple are two of my favorites. I also love curly and tigerseye patterns in wood. I love wood with orange, yellow and reddish hues.

Love your positive attitude, shows how much you love what you are doing and thank you for the interesting explanation of the log graining. Awesome!
-
Awesome videos , for many years my father and his 3 brothers ran a sawmill in Iowa .Before and after WW 2 ,in IOWA , so this brings back sweet memories .I would watch them work for hours .
-
The natural beauty inside trees like this leave me in awe. The sawmill you built works excellent.👊😎 Thanks for sharing Matthew 👍
-
49 minutes of high quality A+ distraction. Nice.
-
You are truly an inspiration to those of us who do not fear a days work. WELL DONE, Matthew!

My father in law in the last few years had a giant white oak log like this and we took it and had it cut into lumber with a steam powered saw mill. As a wood worker, it's amazing to see what comes out of these logs. Beautiful grain patterns and the smell of fresh cut oak. I bet it smells great!
-
Your conversational way of explaining as you go about your business makes it easy to follow and enjoyable to listen to. Thanks man!
-
That is some beautiful clear lumber. I know what you mean about the density of white oak, when I was about 12 I helped my father build a ramp to the haymow of out barn that stuff was heavy.
-
That was so educational into log Slabs cutting , the Hiw's and Why's ! Way back younger days ,Watched Live, blade sharpening and cutting of imported Mahagony Red Wood rough blocks but did not learn anything from them except it was hard wood used for furniture ! Thank You for the Enlightening !
-
I just mindlessly watch you work... it's incredible the ease you move those slabs with... I know you use the skid but even you pushing and pulling those slabs around by hand is definitely considerable weight... I've tried to move them myself a long time ago and let me tell you, it's impossible until I see you do it! Thank you for another super interesting video...
-
Matthew, your laugh and energy is so infectious. I completely enjoy watching your excitement and enthusiasm in doing what you do. It's an inspiration to see that your work ethic is serving you well. Keep it up. I wish you and your lovely family all the best in the new home as well!
-
Always enjoy your videos Matt. I like your down to earth attitude. I have been milling lumber since 1973 and really enjoy seeing the mill that you built. With the band as long as it is, I wonder how you keep the cuts from wandering.
-
Matt, you are one brilliant and energetic young man! Thanks for sharing your efforts with us.

Always good to see a pro. The precise stacking says it all.
