We've milled big logs on our Woodland Mills HM126 sawmill before, but this log is the biggest yet - in fact, it's too big! It's so big we can't even lift it with the tractor, but we won't let that stop us.

I have been you all day and it is 10:45 pm. I have been waiting for you to get to your sawing. I have a 130Max I set up in January to find I am too old (82+) and getting too weak to saw by myself. Great job getting your homestead spot ready

@jodymccain3258 Год назад

I really enjoyed watching this process. I can't wait to see your progress from this year!

Should have made a mantle out of that great pine. It was the biggest tree on your lot and would have made a great center piece for your living room fireplace.

@AdventurousWay Год назад

We actually building an all electric home so we won't have a traditional fireplace, so no mantle.

nice video, very nice looking wood.. i have heard of people modifying the center of their sawmill, by cutting a small rectangle from the center, so they can cut a taller board. might have to cut only 3 or 4 boards at a time but it can still be done. plus it does not weakin the back of the sawmill to do this.

@AdventurousWay 5 месяцев назад

That sounds like a good idea! Thanks for sharing!

@stevencharles4333 Год назад

You're making progress. Really appreciate the clarity you provide, including the foresight to make decisions that lean more towards being proactive than reactive. Your saving time, resources and of course money. Well done. Thought that maybe you might consider debarking more lumber before pitting it on the mill, if so, here's a video of a guy that's done his research. He has his own RU-vid channel, "Sawing with Sandy." He has a woodland mills 130HM mill, its an informative channel, lots of research, lots of clarity His video on a log peeler includes a lot of information, the title is, "Log Debarking Has Never Been Easier (Testing Log Peeler Disc)." I'll hold back on providing a link, its your piece of mind trusting a link that you access and can review; I'll just point you in his direction.

When rotating your log, put a 2ft piece of pvc pipe over the log stops to keep the log from hanging on the stops. You are also putting your stops backwards. You should have cut 8" cants to get your planks. Good work though.

You two make a very good team! I started watching when you got the Outdoors RV and began your travels. I have a 24RLS. I enjoy the homestead videos! I'm not much for automation, but am fully on board with the solar and batteries! Your independence from the grid in harsh winters will be very helpful.

@AdventurousWay Год назад

Wow, you have been following us a long time! Thank you!

@Elephantsworld33 Год назад

Awesome to see what you got from the big tree!

@PriceRegie 9 месяцев назад

I use 2" pvc pipe (about 24" long) on my log stops when turning my logs. Less friction makes the rotation a lot easier.

@SeedFactoryProject 8 месяцев назад

How you could cut the tall boards near the end of the video is put some medium width boards against the posts and push the much taller uncut ones more to the middle, so they are away from the angled part of the blade covers.

@marcogilbert4230 Год назад

your videos are so inspiring ! Continue your nice project .

@sasquatch885 Год назад

The log provided you with some great video content too!👍🏻

@bobfehrenbacher7617 Год назад

Love your video, you two make a great team.

@kbsow73 9 месяцев назад

Makes it a lot easier on me to use the forks and a choker to rotate the logs and I don’t have them falling off the mill.

@AdventurousWay 9 месяцев назад

I like that idea!

@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837 Год назад

That was one nice piece of pine :) You did an awesome job with very little waste & some beautiful 1" lumber :)

@AdventurousWay Год назад

Thank you very much!

@decryptedchaos 6 месяцев назад

i'm a little confused, they are measuring circumference and stating diameter, unless that tape is doing the conversion, I'm also curious if that conversion takes into account inside of bark

@AdventurousWay 6 месяцев назад

It’s called a diameter tape, and yes, it does the conversion for you! It doesn’t account for bark so all the numbers we were quoting were total log size including the bark.

If you have a way to get big blocks of ice (fill cheap kiddie pools with water, dig trenches and line with plastic, etc) sawdust is great for insulating it. Make a sort of ice house dug into a hill and see how it works out.

@cleokey Год назад

Well done, from so cal 😊

@roncurtis8331 Год назад

Love every one of your videos. Looking forward to the spring and the start of foundation work and most of all seeing wood on the foundation. As a carpenter myself I am amazed at your attention to detail. This build will surely stand the test of time because of your commitment to doing things the right way the first time. I was raised in Rochester Vt which I would guess is not that far from your property. I live out of state in Tennessee now and will be visiting home in September. Would surely love to visit your build site to see what you have done this summer so far. Keep up the great work and I will be here for every video you do.

1 x 12 would have been super boards to have IMO. :D

@JosEPh-zy3yr 11 месяцев назад

Split the log into manageable pieces. You will still get much lumber out of it.

@itadvance 9 месяцев назад

Spoiler: They chop it into smaller pieces.

@AdventurousWay 9 месяцев назад

🤣 nothing gets past you huh?

@lloydpowell1056 Год назад

Again, you know why it is called a cant don’t you? Once you saw off all four side slabs, you can’t call it a log anymore. Just my thoughts!

@RossReedstrom Год назад

Hmm, sounds like you're using actual measurements, rather than nominal: a 1x8 at the lumber yard measures 3/4x7 1/2 all day long. So you could have stuck with your plan to do 8s and 3s: just make them nominal measure! 😉

@AdventurousWay Год назад

Haha, it does, but that’s after being dried and surfaced. We probably won’t lose 1/2” to that, but it’s good to have a little extra for cupping, warping, etc. Anyway, we’ve got plenty more big pine logs for more 1x8s.
