Introduction and Project Overview

What happens here

The video begins with the host, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, introducing the project: milling Eastern Red Cedar logs into 1-inch thick lumber using a Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill. He introduces his partner, Mrs. Stoney Ridge Farmer, who will be assisting for her first time. They discuss the type of wood (Eastern Red Cedar), its age (around 70-100 years old), and the desired cut (1-inch live edge and dimensional lumber). They also mention using a TYM T254 tractor with pallet forks to move the logs. The logs have been lying on the ground for about two years.

Goal: Understand the project scope and materials.
