I make sawdust and believe in the morals of what must be done. Wherever you stand work to make the soil fertile.

Good Friday morning. Somebody threw some lead down range in the late 1800s and I just found it.

Milling hardwood dunnage and timbers over and over creates a lot of end cut scraps. In the sawmill operation, all lumber produced and the byproducts thereof, must create revenue and varying margins for the business. We’re just gonna have a little more fun with this new project for the bbq smoke crowd. Kudos to @badbake_offgrid on the custom made birch plywood tags that can also double as Christmas tree ornaments.

This 10'x14' chicken coop with 8 nesting boxes was constructed in two days with rough sawn white pine and ash lumber right off the sawmill. The lumber was all true dimensional and came in at a cost .38 per board foot, paid in cash with no permits or building codes to be satisfied. There are pockets of parallel economies still operating in communities across America.

This guy showed up in Hanover PA one day 8 years ago with Maryland plates - told me he came from Baltimore, and wanted to sell me this Mobil 1 for $1.50 a quart. Took a few years for me to realize, they were probably stolen - IDK this is what they looked like

@ggraham Fireside Sawmill in Raleigh Durham is a hopeful example, having made some incredible headway with the NC state legislature on cutting through the obstacles to utilizing local sourced and milled lumber to meet residential building codes.

Extrapolate this out to a house built almost entirely by a single crew, with most of the materials coming from the immediate area, in the imaginary world where one can avoid inspections and energy efficiency code requirements. At every turn thru the global supply chain, the material cost increases by 1.5x to 2x. Every crew rotation requires a $500 to $1000 mobilization and demobilization. Every stop for inspection adds $1000+ for interruption and inactivity. Orchestrating the complexity requires a professional air traffic controller, who charges 20%.

@furnaceop42 YouTube and IG has some great guys and gals on there documenting. Woodmizer and Timberking are two manufacturers who provide great resources for entry level sawyers as well.

@WadingSmith Nice! Are there any resources you recommend for people interested in hobby milling of their own lumber?

We harvest pigs on the farm every Monday. This was yesterday’s work. By tomorrow night they’ll all be cut, packaged, labeled and headed around the US. The world owns no patent on running USDA slaughter plants. I did it on the farm. And Conventional ag says I’m stupid.😄
