I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed you didn't say "Let us spray" when buttering those ribs.  Squirrel license suspended.

Never thought watching slab cutting would be so satisfying and entertaining. It must be a thousand times more fun on site.

That should be your project next to the sawmill - an outdoor kitchen/barbeque area....with a built in bar.

That means there’s a 100% chance of it potentially raining.

There was a joke where he mentions Red Oak as every woodworker's least favourite wood. To explain the joke and clear Red Oak's name:
Red oak is a nice wood, solid, strong, durable. For furniture making, it's pretty darn good and significantly better than plywood or those splinter woods from IKEA.
The problems with Red Oak are that the beauty factor is a 6/10 while literally every other hardwood species is at least an 8/10, Oak is so freaking heavy, and it wears down the tools too quickly. It dulls blades, spends sandpaper faster, and requires more effort to work with and move around than other woods.
As a result, Walnut, Cherry, Ash, Elm, and literally any other hardwood is easier to work with and produces a more beautiful result. That being said, Oak is still a good choice across the board and is too good to let go to waste.

I love how I found this channel to learn a bit about woodworking, and now I'm mesmerized by sawing logs

I am not surprised whatsoever that little skid steer couldn't easily pickup that massive log in the beginning

Nice work on the logs, but come on !!! Who makes 1 rack of ribs for 5 guys ??? Lol

Did John seriously just cook only one rack of ribs for all those guys??

Awesome wood, but did you want to sticker those before flipping them on to the skid loader?  I am just thinking about minimally having to handle heavy things.

John you guys need to build an overhead crane and trolly, like teh shipping yards to move these logs.  A great episode fo the channel as well

Been watching your videos for sometime now. Just got a 5 inch thick 10 feet long slab to work on in my new house. After day one i have waaaay more respect for what you guys do. Not that i didnt before, but you know..more. Greetings from Malaysia! Youre world famous john!

Sneaky......  love the angry beast reference on the saw!

Did you ever think you would be maxing out that mill?  Really enjoy your videos, and knowledge.  👍🏻👍🏻

I think you have maxed out your slab potential. Not for nothing but a LOT of places now produce slabs. As a result you might find it useful to mill some of this into actual lumber for projects. You have some beautiful grain patterns to take advantage of SANS bark. Thanks for sharing your milling experience (And Dr. Hank is awesome)

Far too pretty to be ground up, or burned. Lots of great wood there, good save fellas.

Hilarious video man! Entertaining! Nice job!

new favorite person to watch. idk if you came from my man made obsession with joey or just the communalities beftween the channels. but i absolutely love you. the dancing panda joke was hilarious😭 love pandas and whoever the panda was

Best part of the video Sam "is there even a slab there?"

Have to respect the confidence of you two trying to rip a slab out with your bare hands!
