April, another example of how you have exemplified the maker community. I started watching your channel when you were in your infancy here on CZcams, and every video you produced had this innocence to it. But now, you have grown to be this master in front of a camera. You learned every skill with desire and brut strength. You are so good at what you do, and I am intrigued every time your videos come out. The AW command center, aka The Wood Shop, is loaded for bear. Congratulations to you, and thanks for sharing with all of us.
Felix
I have been watching you from small shop till now. Congratulations, you are the “woodworkers woodworker”. As they say “You go girl”.
You are making me slide closer and closer to getting my own mill. My wife will probably not thank you... great video!
Makes me proud to be Swedish! My dad has had a Logosol chainsaw mill for almost 20 years, and has gotten a lot of use out of it. He actually had to build a separate barn just to keep al the boards... 😁
Your video was good what is the price
So glad you saved those logs! Hate to think of how much beautiful wood just gets burned, because nobody knows it exists and nobody knows what to do with it.
dear April, would love it if you could enable CCs/auto captions on your videos!
Tap on the video and then cc symbol in the top corner
This saw mill is so well thought out, like the two side ramps for winching up the logs.
A person can never have too many tools (or lumber milling machines)!
With the great description of assembly and use of this log milling machine, you should advise the manufacturer and have them use your video as a selling point for their product. You did their commercial for them. Excellent as always.
Duh... you think she paid for this mill???
I love ALL the cool features of this mill, especially the clamp that holds the logs on! And I also like the Swedish Flag feature. Well done Logosol!
My goal is to grow my woodworking business until I can afford land in Arkansas! Once I can afford that, I’ll save money for a few more years and hopefully be able to build my own house on 30-40 acres of land. (With lots of trees)
I want to be able to cut my own wood, and build my own business!
Hopefully by the year 2030 I’ll be doing this!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Taking small steps at a time right now
Sounds like an awesome plan! Arkansas is a great place to cut your own lumber! Hope the best for ya
My father did something similar. I grew up on a ranch in Texarkana, and we cut all of our lumber. Dad was always home but he was always workin
Good idea. Stay positive. Set goals you want to achieve and work hard make it happen.
Love this and your show. I was jumping around like a school boy, when I realized it was you on Assembly Required.😂🤣😂🤣💯♥️
Is there a 12 step program for log milling addiction? Just asking for a friend, lol 😆
I’m that friend lol
There is no cure.
Crazy how it sneaks up on someone! Alaskan Mills are a gateway drug🤣
It ends when your huge stacks of slabs get so big they succumb to gravity right on top of the smiling addict.😬😂
there is a video about how much work it is and all the other stuff that needs to go along with it that helps considerably with "the cure"
April! You are my new hero. My daughter and I live watching you❤
GIRL POWER!!! ❤❤❤🇨🇦
Although I wasn't fortunate enough to catch April at the woodshed, David & Jake were very helpful & knowledgeable about the logosol b1001. They answered all my questions and even let me get my hands dirty checking out the mill. An awesome piece of equipment and a great group of folks! Looking forward to ordering from them soon!
April, I respect you for your Git-R-Dun attitude, your motivation and enthusiasm for doing these things (wood milling and CNC production) that I see as wa-a-a-a-a-ay beyond what I can do. When my wife and I had a tree cut down to prevent possible damage to our house during a windstorm we had the arborist section the logs then we split the living heck out of it. A portable wood mill would be boss!! You rock, lady! Your team rocks also!
Thanks April, you were having as much fun as Matt. I'll check it out.
I love seeing the progression
A sawmill for every log.
Totally efficient
Love the Logosol mills. Got a electric chainsaw mill from Logosol. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪
wow looks like a really well thought over piece of equipment. the Swedes deserve to be praised on that one.
I need to check it out (pricing, delivery, etc)
I thought the same thing.
I was really surprised how many features they thought of.
So is Logosol a wholly-owned subsidiary of IKEA?
$9800 for the base unit + extras + delivery. It would be nice if all these guys like April who promote these products inform the viewers how much the item they are using is likely to cost.
@@MalcolmCrabbe thanks man.
I can't say it's cheap. I might consider making it myself.
Unit she's demoing is ~$16k+ unless my public-school math is significantly off.
Love that dogging system and that's an ingenious use of a piece of plywood to span the distance between log bunks and support the log. So many sawmills space the log bunks to far apart, after milling for a few years I have found that log bunks should be no more than 2 foot apart to make sure that no matter what length the log is the ends are supported. :)
Love Assembly Required. Keep up the good work.
Love watching slabs being cut! ❤
Also been enjoying watching you on your TV show, "Assembly Required" !
That’s one awesome machine! Thanks for sharing!
Hi April, I'm surprised that those mills don't have a blade guard to prevent cutting into a back stop. ;) I built one on my mill a few years ago as the back stops all had cuts in them when I bought it. Ground them out and welded them up. Now a few weeks ago, I tried to cut a back stop, but the guard I built wouldn't allow me to. At first, I thought it was debris on the track stopping the advancement of the carriage 'til I realized what actually happened. Gotta love it. Mine is a home/shop built mill fully manual and solidly built mobile set-up. I marked my back-stops and know that I'm clear to 1/4" above the highest one, but if I forget, I'm saved. :) Have a great day and take care.
6:52 "If you do this, just make sure you have a doorway large enough to get it out once its assembled". I REALLY wanna see the video of that guy who built this in his basement then stood around wondering how to get it out :D
Like the person who built a canoe in the basement and had the same issue!
Come on Dave admit it your that guy LOL
I started milling around Xmas. Picked up a Norwood HD36. love the new venture. Offers the ability to make my own custom sized boards.
Now you need the industrial pneumatic vacuum tube freeze drier. Slab size. The process captures the colors of the fresh cut that will otherwise denature in a kiln drying process or from sunlight (photo sensitive wood) and O2, stabilize the wood from excess warping, and cuts the drying time significantly.
Pretty cool a lot safer than some of those other saw mills i saw on the internet. Oldschool could lose a hand any day now.
Now that looks like a fantastic setup....I may have just found the one I want. Thanks April -Chris
You gave a really good description of the sawmill you have.
Wow. That was fantastic
Having a sawmill is definitely on the bucket / to-do list...
Very cool! And it brought a smile to my face to see the Briggs Vanguard engine which my father designed many, many moons ago :)
That is very cool! That is a great engine. You should mount one in your house with your dad’s name on it!
Nice machine!
Greetings from Playa del Carmen, Mexico 🇲🇽😎☀️🌴
Swedish quality!
@@Kirchhoff001 Yes! I saw the little flag attached to the machine frame. Very nice 😎👍🏻🇸🇪
Logosol should use this for their demo. Nice job!
Nice mill. You got Tim Allen when he said " how do you know that. You retorted "how do you NOT know that" They should let you say more. You make great shoots .
Like the IKEA of machinery 😂😂😂😂 but a beautiful bandsaw mill. Cheers from Aus!!!!
Thanks for sharing that!
Fantastic! Really amazing tool! 😃
Thanks a lot, April!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That saw is miles away from our Belsaw mill which we powered first with a Ford Jubilee then with a 1963 Chevy pickup which had to be run in reverse. That Chevy 6 just ate the logs. There was no difference in the difficulties involved in handling logs except we could only go up to about 24" dia. Northern Indiana hardwoods.
Awesome machine, Great tutorial.
Well crafted.
Thank you and God Bless
Nice mill and a great presentation. Thanks and be careful April.
That's one well designed tool I must say.
You could trap the sawdust and reduce the mess. Mix in some waste cooking oil and compress with a paper log compactor. Great heat logs for the stove.
Powered respirator (PAPR) helmets such as Airstream give very clean air but also protect your head & face. They are not low cost but when you make a lot of dust these guys do the job very well indeed.
I doubt I'll ever have the space for something like this but somehow your video was completely fascinating. I watched the entire thing!
Your awesome... you inspired me with the board on board fence. Having fences put soon vinyl though. Id only trust you for board on board fence.
April you are living my dream. My dad taught me wood working early on. I used to help him build homes & buildings. But I was an only child & a girl. Mom wanted me to raise a family...so I did both. But my passion is building. Oddly I always want my name to be April but my maiden name is Day. They said they couldn't so that to me stay strong girl...I am living vicariously through you
Thank you for reminding me. I totally forgot about our vice with the counter leaver tool.
Nice saw and excellent presentation good brain food. Thanks
Aloha, April. What an incredible machine. So satisfying and rare these days...
Thank you so much for the update. OMG it's time for you guys to get a kiln..
Loving the television show, and the YT channel. Been watching you on YT for years. I know this was a slogan for a tobacco brand, but it applies...
"You've come a long way baby!"
Love the mill, I so wish I could afford one. My Alaskan mill is getting difficult as I get older and more disabled.
Is hard not to click on an April Wilkerson clip. It is always quality and you learn a lot.
We like having you around so listen up. The seatbelt on a Forklift serves a VERY important purpose. What does you Forklift weigh you reckon?
You figure if it falls on you that you can just lift it off? Or is better to be free so that you can jump off if it tips over?
Wear your seatbelt and if it tips over jusr ride it down. Facts.
Those saw horses are amazing. I'm so making those
Wow, you're always doing such amazing things, thank you for great video! I don't think it would be worth it for me to purchase such an expensive piece of equipment, but it's great to learn more about what's out there, and you do such a great job of presenting everything about the sawmill. I also hadn't thought that there might be people in my area offering portable milling services. That's great, I'll need to look into that further.
Someday I hope to have just one mill 😀
Someday i hope to meet this amazing lady !
Excellent video April, Logosol makes fine products for sure. You’re doing a great job with your channel. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos and have fun too. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Its a beaut, and only in the 10k range, which given the price of some industrial saws is small change. Used to work with a circular saw for sheet wood that was nearer 100k so this thing is practically hobby saw money, right? Id be wasting money not getting one...and other lies i tell myself and wife.
You might need a canvas bag to keep all the parts, pieces & tools in, when out in the field!
Nice review. It was helpful to see the various important features in action.
Glad you enjoyed and found it useful. :)
Are there no ends to your talents? I envy you sawing fresh wood, some beautiful grain there freshly cut, I'd be wanting to keep every nice piece!
Killer video. Lot of information packed in it!! Now just got to figure out how to afford one..keep up the excellent work. Hope this is just the beginning of a su series. Hope you will highlight your more amazing discoveries
I’m impressed. Excellent
Sure beats the “groundhog” saw mills I grew up with. Great video but I gave a friend who owns a sawmill
i enjoy all of your videos … i appreciate the time effort and thought in making the video easily understandable … i see that you value the viewers time by keeping it concise… but extend some to better explain a topic… your honesty and inspiration is great appreciated… explaining good better practice is important to allow viewer select what is applicable… i enjoy your tool and equipment acquisition 😅😅😅… your product … your work site and home site is a testament have far you have evolved from a garage carpenter … pls keep making videos that way you have… i want to learn what to use and how to use all of your tools … so i can best select what i can afford to pursue a project … thanks for your choice to share your work
Nice Mill April!
Well done. Keep going
Another quality video on a quality product shown by a fantastic person ! Love what you do April !!
Thanks so much!
I gave up pushing bandsaws a long long time ago!
If the waiting list is anything like Woodmizer, better order one now so you have one sometime later this year!
Great video, April! Very informative. If I didn't already have a great mill, I'd be seriously looking at the Logosol.
This is hawt!
Thanks for this one; I'm quite interested.
Starting my first cuts today. Thanks for the info
Awesome! Enjoy the process! Thanks for watching.
Always very informative
Oh my G. You are awesome!
You’re my go to for interesting new implements, ideas for woodworking, and nice refreshing ideas for my acreage. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
A related but not related story. You should look at Tally Ho Boat Restoration. He used a giant bandsaw called a ships saw to do some of his cutting.
That's Leo at Sampson Boat Company. Cool saw.
Well, April now has me considering a Logosol mill, however, I not only have no need for a mill I've also never milled anything in my life. Guess that means April is pretty good at this!
I have wanted a mill for awhile and the mobile setup seems like the best all around fit. I don't have a dedicated space to out a mill or a way to load big logs to transport
Sure is nice to hear someone present information and feedback on a system other than the Wood Mizer or something from Northern Tools. I know there are a multitude of mills out there, but you gave a really informative overview on the Logosol, and I appreciate it very much. Just subscribed to your channel, and have been watching Matthew Cremona for a long time now.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. :)
The producers of “Assembly Required” need to give you More airtime on each show! Tim and what’s his name have gotten fairly Boring in their ole age😁 Very nice sawmill And review by the way !
Tried to watch it. Two silly old white D listers and one bright, shining star... and the bright one gets about 3 seconds on air... no thanks, back to her channel on CZcams. April rules!
Logosol from my home country Sweden :=)
Thanks for the video April and for making it a tougher decision. I live 30 minutes from a Woodmizer store in upstate NY. I recently looked at the F2+ because of the breakdown feature and regaining the work space. I'm hoping for the US electric motor for both mills to come out soon. That other company does offer an electric motor for a hobby level mill. Price is not the decider. Apples to apples Thanks again
...and you're awesome. This is my first comment. Thank you for sharing your skills on CZcams. When you run out of ideas, would you consider building a TearDrop camper, please?
I own a swingmill (Peterson) et love it
Plan on purchasing a MAHOE next
What I really need is a resaw
LOL Start of video was FUNNY! Love it!
Best video on a product!
This lady has an addiction...lol. Cool setups
Matt Cremona is crying...
Time for Matt to step up his game.
Not at all! Matt is like family and a good friend of April's and he realizes a mobile band saw has its uses. She still uses the one they built together when needed.
HAAHHAHA you beat me
I am going to purchase a mill this year. I have whittled it down to the WoodMizer. Looking forward to it and it is nice to see others sharing their experiences. I looked into the chainsaw mill but they are really slow. If you don't already have a chainsaw available the cost of this can get well over $2K so I am just putting that towards a portable. I have my own timber which I had some milled to build my house. On to the next stage. :)
0:50 I'm in love.
April, I have a behemoth of a locust tree I will probably be taking down in near future. Wanted to find out if locust is worth milling? Where would one search for a miller? What would be the minimum length of the tree to make the milling useful? (Trees in a tight spot that may prevent it from being felled full length)
Have you thought about setting up with the finish end of the bed a little lower than the start end so gravity will help pull the carriage/blade through the log?
Very cool! Thanks for sharing...
nice relaxing then funny! i might be speaking from experience!! love it
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, I have watched and subscribe 2 your channel since the beginning, I believe you have come a LONG WAY YOUNG LADY CONGRATULATIONS, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Some women have closets full of shoes...............then, there's April Wilkerson. Love it.😄
A lot of great ideas in one mill, a first for me to even hear of one so April, you have come a long way from selling some garden products in I believe it was washington when I first spotted you. You outgrew the first location and now are a power ball of energy
Oh, I still have my 4000 sq ft personal Shop I built, but use that for my content projects. I wanted a retail space so people aren't coming to my home to buy slabs, etc. Thanks for watching.
wow impressive piece of machinery and very informative video
What an amazing machine!
