Thank you so much for NOT showing 25 minutes of useless action to make your points. This is how all "how-to" videos should be done. Short and to the point. Bravo!

Your setup for moving logs onto the mill is the best I've seen for minimizing physical effort and strain.

I have the same thing inside my garage and its wonderful. I subscribed to this channel just so I wouldn't forget about doing this at the mill building when I build one.

Thank You.

You are absolutely correct on every thing you have said.

I was feeling a little jelly of your log trailer...then I saw your I-beam set up. Nice ! 👍❤🇨🇦

For guys and gals without machines to lift the logs your I beam setup is amazing

Great video filled with useful facfts and not fluff. Straight to the point and easy to understand.

I was thinking the very same thing... Well done video... Not a whole lot of self-promotion.

I 100% stand behind all your suggestions/solutions regarding the wavy cuts! And your log loading setup is nothing less than brilliant. Happy milling...

Chain hoist is awesome. Now with the wavy cuts. The blade needs to be rolled or flattened. Put a razor blade across the blade between the gullets. See if you have a hump or you can see a dish in the middle. You want a slight dish. To much dish will make it rise. A hump in the middle will make it dive. The first 12" of cut will tell you which one. If it dives you have to flatten the side towards the slab. Vice versa if it rises.

I really like the trailing log arch. Keeps a long log off of the ground/ mud.

good man keep up the good work

Thats a good system

Thank you for the information. Where did you get your log arches? I had not considered using an I-beam and chain hoist but I definitely like that idea. I like you mix of water, bar oil/diesel, and dish liquid. I appreciate the you took the time to make this video. I am still assembling my HM130max mill.

Good explanation

WOW, this has my mind spinning. I just ordered my HM130Max and it will not be here until the end of September. Sooo, that leaves me plenty of time to build a set up like yours for loading logs onto the mill..... that is if you don't mind that I copy your genius ideas?? New sub here, and looking forward to see more of your videos. Your land is beautiful. Take. care, David

Happy to hear the video helps, enjoy your new mill!!!

I'm surprised woodland mills hasn't sent you their free tension upgrade . I noticed you still have the old t-handle used to tension your blade.

Thanks!

very very clever ideas

#7 have the new bushing kit installed on the saw head post, so no play in it to make the saw head change pitch.

where did you acquire your log arch ? Great video Thank you.

hi sir ,good job. the blade on my hm 126 is a little off level causing small streap lines on the boards , do you have an idea how i can solve that problem .thanks.

Nice way to carry logs... keeps them out of dirt which i would think makes your blades stay sharper longer. About the oil mix, would that stain the wood in any way if you were using for interior. Thanks

I have not had an issue with staining, most of my material gets used for homestead type projects and are also soft woods. I have milled a fair amount of cedar for facia and exterior trim and have not had any issues.

Excellent tips thank you for sharing.

If you had wood bunkers then lower your blade and saw bunkers the blade and bed would be straight with each other no matter if rails were uneven or un level.

Very helpful information. The music however was like inserting a frayed steel cable up my urethra.

What size is the ibeam and how long?

@offgridrvchannel9955

It is a 5 inch x 20 foot and could be bigger, this is not enough for green wood or large logs without supporting it in the middle with a kicker

Iam going to do that gantry craine

It works well although you might want to use a larger beam

Are your cedars dead before you drop them?

No, they were dry for a couple of years before I cut them though.
