Love your videos on rock just found the logging… This is what I do professionally at a mill in the log yard as a buckerman. Out of curiosity, why 32’ and not 33’? allowing trim? Are you giving space for the mill to buck to allowable standards? Or am I just taking you too literally? My biggest peave is short log loads cut shy 16’4” and then no room to allow for end checks!! I love a foot to play with so I can still make valuable lumber/timber after I buck and deck. So good to see you working with Dan and others. 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 We really do enjoy your content. Thanks John
When I was back east helping a guy in the woods, we had to drag everything over a 1 1/2 out . What couldn't make lumber went into a chipper for pulpwood .😮
Great video, this is something I’ve always been curious about after trying with poor success myself. Thanks for sharing 👍
If he ever started sellin i would buy
I'm thinking of first using the chips to make smoke to cook my food then use the same chips to flavor so whiskey then use it in the garden, 🤔
What happens to the top ? Do you just leave it alone ?😮
But the process produced lots of smoke
It looks like you're cutting dry redwood. It would be a far more difficult proposition if you had a harder wood; not everyone has access to wood like that.
I really don't get it as soon as I cut through my bar gets stuck pretty much everytime
It would be nice to build a sawmill rack with the ladder on the bottom and top bolted together with side posts and a 12" clearance so the saw travels between the the ladders. The log rests on the bottom ladder and the sawmill rides on the top ladder. You can shave off the top of the logs and toss out the center.
A 4x4x8 only costs $15. The center of the log is not used for lumber due to high probability of cracking.
Where do you sell your lumber?
Pretty grain for your cedar
Jason where did you buy your do it yourself mill?
Power wash the log!
Lieu, what are doing now start with smooth edge, then make 2x4’s. Jason’s customer needs 150 boards.
Jason goes to a private mill to do his own logs and sells that wood.😊
Do you hear that Lieu,he isn’t pumping the trigger while cutting the log.😅
Firewood from Mt. Adams area. About 6-8 in of snow. After passing BZ corners wet road all the way until we got to HWY14 West bound.
Lieu, I hope you are learning some stuff here.
Check for gold!❤
Jason has earned plugs in
Repeat
How often do you get new bids from the mills?
I wish I had that environment to work in.
Fred moves faster😊
Fix your exhaust on the skidder!
Why do you use such a long bar? Looks like a 28 or 32 would be better for the wood you’re in! 8:19
do you use chain with different angle ?
Do you come in and prune the lower limbs off to improve the future quality of the log at harvest.
Jason why do you go so high off the ground before your first cut?
I watch and rewatch learning something each time. Just something for me to know. Am service connected Veteran 100% DAV. But I still learn.😊
Myself as well
Who isthe S in the S/J/

I have a 1972 John Deere 440 with a esco grapple I hope to get a lot of use out of it I like the small equipment
You should work with Fred at the sawmill to recycle the sawdust from milling your cedar logs, and ship the sawdust to your redwood tree arborist
Large sander,
I'm a timber cruiser up in BC, it's cool to hear the differences. Mills here are supposed to take down to 4 inches for most species. Also, white pine are the most valuable trees here, with cedar close behind
id remove the Dawgs. ...
Agree
I'm currently listening to Ghost Town Living by your friend from MBMM&M, Brent Underwood (excellent book and check out the RUclips channel), and he mentioned something that had never struck me before. That the raw materials we use are either mined or grown, and here you are Jason, doing both. The other thing he mentioned was the Cerro Gordo mine probably has enough timber in it to build the Empire State Building many times over, so maybe his surname is somewhat ironic. Thanks for the great content, whenever, or wherever you appear. Keep up the good work ... 😎
Use your top cut and set the saw for 6".
that hemlock has red rot. thats what killed it.
we leave 6 inches trim per log. .
i run a clark 667 and a 395 husqvarna . a 440 deere and a stihl . oh boy around here we call you a farmer not a logger. dwl
Nice demo Jason! Like the mining stuff, just starting g to watch the logging.
