Be Smarter Than the Sawdust! (Sawdust at the Sawmill) – A tour of how our sawmill sawdust and woodworking dust collection system works. Sawmill School
Sawmill School – Welcome to Hobby Hardwood Alabama – a real, professional sawmill lumber production business, ranked by a national website as producing the highest quality wood in Alabama, of about 45 different species. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. This video is another example of sawmilling for our business, Hobby Hardwood, Alabama. We show how we mill logs, dry them and other things on our outdoor farm. We use our amazing fleet of hardware and tools, such as our custom New Holland Tractor, Wood-Mizer LT-70 sawmill, as well as our Cantek planers, Baker edgers, and SLR machines in action, operation, milling and while sawing logs to lumber. The Woodmizer LT Super 70 sawmill is the the biggest, fasted and most automatic bandsaw mill Woodmizer makes, with joystick control and Diesel engine. Very few sawmills are this fast, including Baker, Morgan, Harbor Freight, Cooks, Northern, Timber King, Norwood, Woodland, chainsaw mill, and Hudson. It’s not an Amish Sawmill, but the fastest and most modern band mill Wood-Mizer makes, and produces the best lumber wood for wood working projects and our lumber business. We also showcase our Nyle Kilns and air drying lumber techniques. Lots of tips and tricks to make sawing and drying easier for beginners and professional woodworkers to keep our sawmill turning trees and logs into gold instead of firewood. My buddy, Nathan Elliot, of Out of the Woods Sawmill, OTW, convinced me I needed to start filming our operation, so here goes. Someday I want to have as many followers as other sawmill videos on Youtube, like Nathan and Outdoors With the Morgans. We show how to make money with your sawmill, and pass on our how-to tips and tricks for better sawmilling. Watch us use our sawmill, chainsaw mill, band saw, and bandsaw.

good video,
I want to do a similar setup for a small garage hobby woodshop. Have everything shoot out the back. Not sure how to do it so it keeps the suction. I know they say about losing the heat with the dust but it's nonheated shop so that isn't an issue.
Now if you could just find a profitable use for the sawdust instead of just dumping it or burning it like a lot of guys do.
Always great information. I like that you want the best equipment. Most of my milling is portable at the customer’s site and I get my share of sawdust. I do have a couple of comments that might help drive up your audience.
Another good one for info. Thanks
You are right . With out a smart set up you will spend close to an hour to clean up after an average days work .
Good video I have a cheap dust collector it gets 90% of sawdust. Helps a lot no sawdust in eyes or lungs. I do have to change a lot of bags much easier than shovel and broom. Take care, be safe and well.
Thanks for sharing that- do you have land enough that you can dispose of all the sawdust you make? Or does some need to be hauled away? And what about slab wood? Is there a market in your area for it? Thanks again for all you do for the community you’re building. Jeff from Nova Scotia.
Great dust collector system. You’re so right about buying a big one to begin with. In my younger days I made a lot of wood furniture for people. Just a hobby but I did quite a bit. First I used a shop vac. Then moved up to a cyclone. You get the idea. Finally I put together a good sized system that went to all the machines. Could have saved a lot of money if I had just done that in the first place. And the shop and the air in the shop stayed much cleaner.
Like the rotary valve under the cyclone. Great for getting rid of product and retaining vacuum on your system. I work in a chemical Plant in northern Arkansas and we use them a lot in our processes.
Nice set up, and enjoy your videos and insight on everything!!! Great learning tool…..
This is a really(!) good video. Although my operation is MUCH smaller than yours, the sawdust is still getting the better of me. As you mentioned, I started with small collection systems and then kept graduating to “more and better”. Although I probably cannot justify a collection system as powerful as yours I need to implement the parts of it that make the best sense for me. Although I’ve watched your previous videos on your building the system I think I need to go re-watch them. Thanks again for this and I’ll keep watching!
Yup, You are Right, You are No Vanna White…😂
I've watched all your videos I love your explanations; what an excellent set up. I wish you were closer to me (almost to Wisconsin border in Illinois) I'd love to buy my wood from you.
Thanks for another great video! I would love to hear the story of how you started all this. In a response to another one of my comments, you had mentioned how you started with a walk behind LT40 (which is what I currently have). Now you have an LT70. I know nothing happens overnight. I would love to hear the story of how y'all started and how you got to where you are now.
Very cool system!! Gives us some ideas
I’m not young and bulletproof anymore so I’m in the process of setting up a system in my shop, thanks.
Love your video and you make it real interesting with the added humor be safe and have a great day.
