You Won't believe what we're milling with the Woodmizer!
What happens here
The video opens with an introduction to the project. The presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, along with his dad, prepares to mill several hardwood logs including red oak, white oak, and ash. The primary goal is to produce 1.5-inch thick boards for building raised garden beds and narrower boards for a smokehouse. The equipment, including a red TYM T1104 tractor nicknamed 'Big T' and a yellow excavator, is present for moving heavy logs. The main tool for milling is introduced as a Wood-Mizer LT40 portable sawmill.
Goal: Understand the project goals and gather initial heavy equipment.
