This Log Is Too Long To Mill // Sawmill Cover Build // Part 5 // Woodland Mills HM130 Max
In today's video, Greg knew he needed a very long beam to support / span the opening of the sawmill cover. Our Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill has the ability to cut 23 ft. beams, but we need longer ... a 28 ft. beam! With some research, he was able to come up with a plan and shares it today from the start (finding the perfect tree ) to the finish - milling and making a 28 ft. beam.
Lars helps Greg with the tree and Greg's dad and brother help him mill it into the perfect beam for the sawmill cover.

This never gets old! I learn something from each variation of this method.

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

Definitely more than one way to do this. Might be easier ways or harder ways, but it’s pretty cool any way you do it!

@Ianhurley54 4 месяца назад

Perfectly done!

@ourdreaminthewoods 4 месяца назад

Thank you. It was a pretty great day! 😁

@deana1848 Год назад

Another great video!!

Thank you!

@naturesbend130 Год назад

That’s a impressive beam

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

Thank you! We are pretty excited about it!

hi there been there before my 2nd mill building has a 42 foot opening .never big enough , the carriage can handle a 40 foot log if needed good show john

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

40 foot?!!! That's AWESOME!

@rayherriott6517 8 часов назад

Another option would be to put a couple of 4" thick pieces of wood on 2 of the bunks.

Hi Greg, I'm about to undertake the same project for my mill. I have a big log (27" diameter) and was contemplating doing the same as you for a long time. I don't think that beam you cut will have the rigidity or strength you need to span such a long length without support from below....especially with a heavy snow load on the roof. I was going to cut a beam something like 7 or 8" x 14" but even then I don't think it would have the strength of the alternative I am contemplating which is laminating 4 boards something like 2x10 or 2x12 to span a 20ft. opening. I'm concerned about sag in the center. the other challenge I'd have is getting the big beam into place....I don't have a piece of equipment that would lift something that heavy that high. Anyway - I am curious to hear your thoughts about the strength of your beam over the span you have planned.

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

Hi, I am worried about sag, also. I'm going to brace both sides of the opening, at least 3 feet on each side, but that will still leave a 20 foot span. The metal roof should help with the snow coming off. It takes a pretty special tree to make a beam that is 8"x12" or 8"x14" and I didn't have any logs long enough for that. Of course, I want to make the sawmill cover out of everything I mill. But, yes, in the end I am worried that there will be a sag.

@williamklein6649 Год назад

Why didn’t you block up the can’t once it was square and side it down the full length? You could have finished the cuts without making all the moves

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

Thanks for the question! It was our first time milling a beam longer than mill capacity - so still a newcomer. I did watch a couple of videos of blocking the log up and then completing the cut. I thought this way seemed faster and easier. Maybe next time I'll try that method.

@williamklein6649 Год назад

Only reason I said this it would prevent cross cutting into your beam.

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

@@williamklein6649 Yes, that would be helpful for sure!

@charleskovalewski5210 Год назад

there is a better and easier way to do that.i know i dont do it that way.

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

We'd love to hear more! We have more of these in our future and if there's an easier, better way, we'd love to know more.

@charleskovalewski5210 Год назад

@@ourdreaminthewoods get two rollers from a conveyor.i have mine mounted an scissor jacks and the scissor jacks mounted below my bottom rails,so they can be dropped out of the way for regular cutting..welded in with angle iron.make sure mill is level,because you will need to level log .put log on rollers.cut cant as far as you can.roll log forward,make sure log is level,and finish cut.i pull the log with a small electric hoist which can be mounted both sides.i can cut long logs by my self with no problems.

@ourdreaminthewoods Год назад

@@charleskovalewski5210 That's pretty easy to envision and I can see that as an upgrade down the road (adjustable rollers). I'd love to see some pictures if you have any. Thank you for sharing this great idea!
