Dropping an oak tree and making lumber
What happens here
The operator concludes the day's work, showing the stack of finished red oak lumber, including the large 6x6 posts and 1x6 boards. He explains the remaining logs will be milled another day due to the approaching sunset and emphasizes the need for a new blade due to the current one being dull. He then drains the remaining windshield washer fluid from the sawmill's water tank and removes the water filter to prevent freezing and potential damage, ensuring the mill is properly stored overnight.
Goal: Finalize milling for the day and prepare the sawmill for overnight storage in cold weather.
