BudDIY Podcast – Episode 83 – Chainsaw Basics

July 26, 2021 //  by Buddy//  1 Comment

You may have grown up around chainsaws, but do you really know about them or how to use them? This was my life. I would go out and help my dad and others clear trees, but since we were always in a hurry or in a group I did the clearing. I never learned about or how to use chainsaws.

I did pick up a lot of things through observation and logic, but it really doesn’t compare to actual experience. So, much like a lot of the rest of my journey with this homestead, here is an introduction to chainsaws.

If you are in my position definitely give this episode a listen as I start with the basics of chainsaws, tools you probably need, and some safety equipment you will need. I thought I had a good handle on the basics until I started actually learning them.

BudDIY Podcast – Episode 82 – Sawmill and Milling Basics

July 19, 2021 //  by Buddy//  4 Comments

When you are doing woodworking or homesteading or DIYing you are probably going to use some wood. What is interesting is learning where your wood comes from, and how you get what you buy.

If you have ever been interested in some of the basics around a sawmill and milling wood. What some of the terms are or even some of the tools. As well as a little bit of the processes then I go over what I have learned in this episode.

Next year we will start a bandsaw build so it is imperative to actually understand something about this part of the industry so I am sharing what I have learned so far. I hope it not only helps you in your woodworking to understand what is going on before you, but also to have a greater appreciation for the things you create.

One of the interesting things about milling would is it can help give your work more of a story. This is not only more fun to show it off, but if you sell the work you can command a higher price for it.

So join me in this episode as we start the process of learning about sawmills and milling.
