Old Farmer Uses Strange Sawmill—$400 in 40 Minutes!

One log, over 20 inches in diameter, became approximately $400 worth of usable lumber in about 40 minutes on my Lucas Mill. I condensed the complete sawmilling process into roughly six and a half minutes—from the first cut and flying sawdust to the final boards. Some cuts are shown at normal speed so you can hear the mill working, while the repetitive portions are accelerated. Stay to the end for the complete board count, lumber dimensions, and estimated value from this single log. Very little went to waste—the small remainder became firewood. This video was originally made for my old John’s Sawmill channel. I lost access to that channel after losing access to the connected email account, so I am bringing some of those sawmilling videos back and giving them a new home here. If you were looking for @JohnsSawmill, you found me. What would you build with this lumber?
