Need to try this on the fox that got my chicks

Thanks for the mouse warning. I'm constantly fighting mouse damage in equipment and trucks... been using glue boards. I just pulled a bird nest (probably a wren) out from my HD32 idle side shroud yesterday... no eggs, but the nest was complete. I guess I'm going to have to leave the doors open.

Is that food grade safe?

The TimberKing seems like the most comparable competition. I'm sure you considered it, too. What made you decide on the Cooks over the TimberKing?

And one more question. You say you like the idea of a hydraulic sawmill. What advantages appeal to you? Mainly just being able to manipulate the logs with less physical involvement? Anything else notable?

I just discovered your channel, have watched multiple videos, and have very much appreciated them all. Thank you! A couple questions: What about using water as a lubricant do you not like? And approximately how big a log can you clamp with the Cook's clamping system?

Did you make your own custom door? It's a very nice looking door either way.

I thought smoke goes UP!?

Looks great, im a welder/fabricator so i can truly appreciate the work you have put in

Nice job! That baby looks like it will last 10 times longer than a store bought unit. Nice and heavy build

How are they holding up? They look great.

Thank you for sharing your milling experience with us!!! I hope to have a mill of my own some day. Overriding the operator presence switch works GREAT until............something goes wrong. I understand that it frees you up to do other stuff while continuing to saw, but I'm concerned for your safety and potential damage to the mill. Have fun, play safe, and keep on sawing. 🙂

Where was your put in and take out?

You got my tailgate working again. Thank you sir!

I’m trying to watch Joel Salatin to learn more about rotational grazing with sheep, chickens, turkey, and rabbits. I want a meat cow, but I’m on 3 acres.

Nice work! Will have plenty for the cows come winter

Nice! You got the family portrait. Glad the little one seems to be doing good

Machine workin good nice

Ingenious. Good thinking

Thank you for this! My problem was the switch kept activating on and off. Once I cleaned it and used the dielectric grease. It works normally. Of course, there is now a general recall.

Very cool 👍

I surprised cooks puts that big pulley that your using to fine tune the height where it is or with no guard that belt will lop a finger off real quick

Thx for sharing

Hey, I’ve been there! 😊

Moo gotta love it

Cool

I've noticed the same "ringing" noise on my MP32 from sawdust on the wheels. I've been looking for but, haven't found yet, a brush, kinda like a fingernail brush to mount so that it cleans the wheels continually in addition to the felts for each wheel. It's good to see real life Cook's video's. Thanks for sharing!

I sure like the rebar rails... does it feel pretty solid and secure?

I need some advice on a project that I'm going to be getting into. I would sure like to talk some things over with you brother.

I love the cabin sir... Keep them videos coming and keep growing that channel.

Awesome video... Keep them coming.

Have you ever felt you would benefit if the mill had a 3rd log stop or 3rd log dog? Also, do you think the mill would be more stable with 2 more pair of jacks - cutting the span between jacks down to 5 ft? With the Timber King, I was planning to set the mill on 6x6 piers and beams, but that would be difficult with a 20-ft welded deck. Trailer is probably the way to go with the 20+ ft Cooks. Regarding the trailer, did it feel risky pulling long distance with 1 axle? A blowout might be a serious problem at speed.

Great video - Thanks!. I was going down the Timber King road, but have started studying Cooks. They're a lot closer to me here in north Georgia. I would be buying the longer mill too - timber frame barn in my future!

Are y'all planing on moving to the cabin full time? That's where i would be.

I love all of that exposed wood. How much $$$ do you think you got in the shell of cabin with metal roof and windows?

Just found your channel... keep the cool vids coming.

Hello from Nova Scotia. I think your videos and channel are going to do well, you seem honest and straight forward, without the B.S. My Woodland Mills has the stainless bunk caps as well, but I'd sure like that MP32 set up if the truth were told. I wonder why the blades don't seem to discolor the boards the way the clamps do? Maybe just not contacting long enough???

My 2022 2500 the tono cover stoped from droping tailgate. Was click click click. Random. Now i know how to fix.thanks.still under warrenty tho.

I ordered my Cook's MP-32 almost a year ago after spending a couple of years researching and comparing various mills on the market. As you stated the Cook's mill is not the cheapest mill out there. However, I think it is very competitively priced. I liked the design simplicity and the heavy-duty fabrication. My mill will not be ready until late June of 2024. They told me that upfront. Wood Miser had a similar wait period as did some of the other manufacturers. The delays are primarily due to demand and supply/labor issues. The people at Cook's seemed genuinely interested in my business. I can't say that for all of the manufacturers I talked to. I look forward to picking my mill up in Alabama this summer and putting it to use. Your video confirmed my research and choice. Thanks for posting. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I like that saw.

I've seen 12 v hydro pumps aded to these mills with a claw type turner. They work better than winch operated claw turners. That's what I'm planning to do on my cooks mill. Awesome video

That’s a great video on the cooks and you did a-good job of of why I picked the cooks over the big cheap made woody mizer god bless y’all

New sub from Nova Scotia...hello. I love your set up, the mill is a beast. If you haven't already, I for one would like to see a 'How my MP32 is spec'd out' video. Keep the content coming, and thanks.

Hey. New subscriber . Will you show the stack of cut boards . Do you paint the ends from checking ? Thanks. Craig. Pa.

Good afternoon my friend, I just started watching your channel and I have a few things I would like to mention, you need a mic on your shirt because when you walk away from the camera, I can’t hear what you’re saying, we also like to see what the inside of the log looks like the pattern of the wood, etc. Otherwise you’re doing a good job keep up the good work. Stay safe God bless you and the family🇨🇦✌️

That's an awesome splitter you designed and built, and from bits and pieces... I am thoroughly impressed. 👍

Why did you quit firewood heating ??

Happy Thanksgiving to you and family 😊😊❤

Thanks for the testimony. Awesome channel, same reason I went with cooks.
