@timpratte9634 Thanks, I've been using the slab rack and it even handier than I expected. We'll see how the sawmill holds up. I'm getting ready to use it pretty hard this spring.

@whoblowsthere002 if I were building one that size I would definitely go with the 20hp. Mine seems to be capable of handling the pine I've been cutting. I'm interested to see how it handles some oak and other hardwoods when I get to it. For now I'm just milling lumber for the off grid cabin.

Maybe some day

@staziakviking3388 yes, I would buy it again. I would probably go with their 36 in model though. Which wasn't available when I purchased my 32in.

@GM-xr1bw thank you, we're in the Adirondack park region.

@dominicnovotny1933 Nope it's pine. I wish I had a big walnut log like that.

@petercornelissen2283 thank you for the compliment, nice to hear from you.

@@donnie6513 thanks

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I know, I'm not looking forward to crawling around under there to insulate and close it in.

@Robertsons_landscaping thank you, hope you like yours as much as I like mine

@@dominiektaylor2658 280sf. With a 112sf. Sleeping loft

@iamdwl yeah had it a little to loud in that video.

@bainsworth8853 yes indeed

@@GoingOff-Grid thank you fo the reply

Yes, it's definitely worth it. With everything I'm going to be building it will save me 10s of thousands of dollars.

@TheLandAndLegacy thank you, take your time and don't be in a hurry. Luckily my driveway is "only" 400ft. Lol

@Jeremy_936 thank you, yes we're planning on living there off grid homesteading. The cabin will be a rental for additional income along with a 1 acre pick your own apple farm

Very smart.... you're living the dream for so many people!

@Jeremy_936 we're trying. It's going to take some time tho. Things can't move fast enough for me. Lol

it took about 10 weeks.

@@morgansword thank you, I got a scissor car jack do do just as you suggested. And I did have some some wavy cuts. So I do have to speed up a little. I've already learned from those first cuts. Thanks again, Mike

@@GoingOff-Grid I am happy that you tried the scissor jack, I actually was going to suggest that or even a jack from under the hood of most old pickups. They also used a screw system but kind of like a bottle jack. I welded that jack to a piece of square stock and then used a cordless drill for making it go up or down. Just remember to always let it down after getting the flat side down. I have forgotten that more times than I like to admit. I got into the habit of loading all of the small ends of the logs to be sawn into lumber on the saw end where you first start the cut. One way of always making it come out right is to measure the large end up to the pith and then when you raise the small end up, just jack that end up till the measurements are the same. That doesn't always work cause of the center not always being the actual center. You will get the hang of it quick enough. When your blades get dull, change them out as it never pays to burn a blade. Makes it hard to resharpen and will send a blade up and down in dives your never going to believe. You get hung up in a cut... shut it down and then back the blade out to keep from throwing off blades. After you have lost a few, it will no longer scare you. I learned its always a dull blade that will get you hurt should it ever happen. There are many youtube videos that show how to coil up and un coil a blade as well... best of luck on this adventure. I do advise a roof over the mill when possible as standing in rain is not as much fun as one might think. RUclips actually has a lot of good advice videos.

@morgansword thanks for the advice and words of encouragement. A roof is definitely in the plans. I currently lift the mill head off and store in the connex when not in use. I only get up there once a month. And most of my time is going towards getting this first cabin under roof before winter. So videos of that and milling the lumber for it are coming. Thank again, Mike

@natemorales8942 thanks i appreciate it, love you too brother

@jameslangley2033 thank you

@@dillionlamka1256 thanks

@darreldarrel3681 I had problems with them getting back to me after I ordered my mill. Eventually at around 10 weeks I received my mill with 6ft extension and 5 pk of blades i ordered as they promised. I think they were overwhelmed with orders and couldn't keep up. Overall I'm very happy with the way it preformed and the quality of it.

Thanks, need a slab rack next. So I can process those slabs into firewood instead of throwing them on the ground.

Yeah, like I said go big or go home. The saw did great I'm very happy with it.

@@s.lachelle2180 I was forced to make an appearance lol

Thanks man!

Thanks, hopefully have another video out in a couple weeks
