Finding out how much money I can make per hour milling small diameter logs on my Woodmizer LT15 Sawmill. I am making lumber out of these Douglas fir logs and keeping track of how much I can cut per hour on this mill.

Of course the per hour isn't to bad but then there is also the perk of working in such a beautiful place without any annoying coworkers. Also you make a better product than what you can find at a lowes or home depot.

Such a pleasure to see a forestry pro who cares about his land and the quality of his product. Colorado here, we’ve got local wildfires right now and our air looks about like yours unfortunately, smoky and hot as the hubs of perdition. Stay cool!

You won't find a better conservationist than a forester, farmer, hunter nor whaler.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your experience with your mill. Because of you I’m going to try raising shrimp in Missouri, don’t laugh it has been done. Keep the Videos coming, it still will feed my addiction. God bless you!

I would like this guy as president

Would be so much easier if trees were square. I'll show myself out.

To me, if it is worth your time to mill up, then for me it's worthwhile trying to get some dimensionally correctly sized lumber, that has been dried, slatted, and sorted properly. Not the crap one gets at those big box retailers, or even some of the local 'lumber carriers'. Too bad you can't deliver to SoCal. Maybe I'll have to make a trip north.

It's oddly satisfying hearing logs roll
-
I think if you log/mill enough to get into a productive routine 2:02 and have a decent market, you might bring your per hour rate up some. A faster/ bigger mill would definitely help but the downside, takes a crew to keep with the mill. The joy of working in the woods and milling lumber is priceless in my book. Live within your means and enjoy life. 👍

I happened to be wearing my Camel City Mills socks when I watched this video after spending the day working in 90 degree heat. I agree that I've never had better socks nor did I realize how good socks can be. I bought them based on your suggestion in an earlier video and now have 6 pairs. Thanks again for helping a fella out!!!

Always so funny and instructive. If there was no market, no one would make those portable sawmills. Not for all or all jobs but perfect for some. Like you said, you like it.😊
-
not having a bunch of people there sounds like a feature, not a bug.
-
You could mill a huge amount of square coasters in a day, autograph them, and sell them to, well, us !
-
Your videos are wonderful. Entertaining and informative. Thanks for taking the time to share part of your life with the world. 👍🇺🇸
-
Like your mill processing cool
-
I only ever wear wool socks and I can tell you they are amazing although they are not the brand you mention but smart wool.
-
Glad you covered everything. Great education for the learners. Not to be a thorn, but insurance costs are relevant also. Everyone always forgets insurance cost!
-
In a different era of my life, I did some contracting. This like the inverse of the rule of thumb I used sometimes for bidding a job. Materials times three equals bid with 10% wiggle room added. Like the low tops. I wear my Romeos a lot with the shorty socks.
-
"There are no people here." Well, that sounds nice!
-
So smooth with the sock pitch! Wait what no promo code or giveaway promotion? You know I had to listen to that pitch. That’s worth something lol. Or are we not worth a promo or giveaway lol. Hope you laughed.
