Thanks for your sawmill wisdom, Tony. Great videography. And, this is free advice passed down 3 generations: keep the sawdust out of the garden soil. Everybody will be happier if you make char out of it, cycle through the compost pile, then add to your garden as a charged biochar. Again, great video!

I hear you on the sawdust, but currently, I have clay which does not hold water. I am going to put it down and till it in. I will add extra nitrogen to help it rot. Will add some as ash too.in a couple years I will have good soil.

You gave some great advise, your points especially about taking in allowance for kerf and its change from bottom of each cut to top of your last cut I think was the hardest for me to get in my head...lol And I agree you have plenty of power, how many horse on that new engine? Anyway great video, the struggle is real on certain logs. I like my tow board jack to make the pith even from end to end.

He needs a bigger sawmill.

You need to make some wedge blocks to beat into the bottom at 34:30 to help square up the log with the stops. 4x4, 4x6 or 6x6 6"-8" long with a 45 degree, as you beat on the block it'll kick the bottom over and flush up the surfaces on the stops. A couple wedges and a mini sledge can always come in handy in situations like this, especially if you work alone. As for the PITH cut, you mentioned at the beginning, when you measured both ends, that you needed to put a board under one end to level the pith....but you forgot to put the toe board under it. Oops!! Hey, it happens. Great tutorial. I'm already subscribed to his channel, so I'll be looking forward to his new adventures when he gets his Mill. I already saw his version of this about 2 weeks ago and I've been waiting to see if it would show up on here too. Thank you for the extended version. 👍

Another tip is not to drop the logs on the saw bed. I've seen many tubers drop the log from as far as 1 foot above the bed. And then complain the mill is always getting out of square.

I don't recommend lifting with the backhoe. So many people have broken the backhoe off. No brand of the compact tractor is built like commercial equipment. They are not strong enough to be cranes. You can get away with a little, but eventually it will cost big.

It is different in real life using a manual mill. Think about it. You pass up the 1/4 turn spot using more effort to get to 180. Then you have two flat spots on opposite sides. You will still have to turn it back to the uneven sides. This adds one extra turn when the log is at its heaviest.

You should have got yourself a wood-mizer
