Milling a log TOO BIG for our sawmill! (Woodland Mills HM126)

- 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
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.
We actually building an all electric home so we won't have a traditional fireplace, so no mantle.
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.
Wow, you have been following us a long time! Thank you!
Awesome to see what you got from the big tree!
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.
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 CZcams 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.
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.
That sounds like a good idea! Thanks for sharing!
enjoy the mill work. you guys work great together.
Thank you!
your doing great.
Love your video, you two make a great team.
your videos are so inspiring ! Continue your nice project .
The log provided you with some great video content too!👍🏻
I use 2" pvc pipe (about 24" long) on my log stops when turning my logs. Less friction makes the rotation a lot easier.
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.
I like that idea!
I just subscribed to you Nice little mill I got the same thing but an older one mine Is an older one Mine is 2015 But they all cut the same That's nice would you got there I just sold some the other day just like that but 17 inch Boards So have a good day stay safe stay healthy be happy And we'll catch you on another one
That was one nice piece of pine :) You did an awesome job with very little waste & some beautiful 1" lumber :)
Thank you very much!
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
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.
Just ordered a the same sawmill today a 126. Hope to make sawdust soon
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.
Well done, from so cal 😊
1 x 12 would have been super boards to have IMO. :D
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.
Split the log into manageable pieces. You will still get much lumber out of it.
Spoiler: They chop it into smaller pieces.
🤣 nothing gets past you huh?
Buy a decent excavator. Used LARGE units are cheaper. Gotta be able to make repairs
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!
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! 😉
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.
Wouldn’t want to be there when a hydraulic line blows ( tractor was at its lifting limit)
The hydraulic lines are rated to far higher pressures than the hydraulic pump on the tractor can produce, and there's a pressure relief valve anyway.
@@AdventurousWay ok. Cool. Didn’t want to see anyone get cut in half.
@terryatpi absolutely not. Hydraulic injection is no joke!
