LUMBER PRICES ARE CRAZY! Let's mill up this old log and make our own!

What happens here

Once the logs are milled into the desired dimensions (e.g., 1-inch thick boards, 4x4s), the host demonstrates stacking the finished lumber onto the front loader forks of the TYM T1104 tractor. He explains the final products: 6-inch wide boards and 3-inch wide battens, showcasing how they would fit together for board and batten siding. The stacked lumber will then be transported to a drying area to allow it to cure properly.

Goal: Stack milled lumber for drying and demonstrate the final product.
