Handling Milled Lumber and Sawdust Management

so just so happens that it's father's day and father happened to show up this is my stepdad barry we're gonna offload these these are gonna be a little bit heavy for just one dude to unload so guys we're expecting rain anytime you have lumber on metal directly on metal you're gonna get a stain a black nasty stain so i'm putting down a crusty old piece of wood here to set the first uh piece on and then we'll stack from there go up there we go that piece is oak some old crusty stuff that i just had laying [Music] there man that's beautiful lumber look at that think about making a farm table with that holy cow man you can make a four foot wide beautiful farm table that is absolutely awesome we do want to get rid of this bark we'll put it in the slab pile all right a lot of questions get asked to me about the sawmill about like what what do you do with the sawdust well you can see it's not making that much sawdust and i'll come in here once i get rid of these slabs i've got some neighbors that are going to come pick through these to build a chicken coop and then i'll come through here with the landscape rake and i'll rake this stuff up or i'll scoop it up with a bucket take it over to the garden and use it for weed control and it also helps to build the soil but there's not a lot of sawdust that comes off this mill so there's no way of bagging this wet sawdust because these logs are typically wet this one's dry because it was dead standing but if it's wet you can't bag it or it's just going to mold so there's not a lot you can do with it except for using it in your garden around your property
