Keeping it simple and not being in a hurry...this is a great video for a newbie with 200 acres of 16" pine to saw into cants for the rest of my life, ha.
Very nice video. Several useful tips so thank you for your time and sharing. Have a great and blessed 2024!
Just starting out milling lumber and these tips and tricks are saving me countless trail and error mistakes. Thank you so much for sharing these lessons. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Great video, thanks for the information!
Thank you for posting
Thank you for the straightforward explanation for a novice.
I always slide a few pieces of PVC pipe over the log stops then you can turn it much easier
Great idea!
Just ordered my 130 Max with track extension. I need to get that three-point lifting hoist for my tractor like you have in this video
A trick for sap on your hands instead of mineral spirits is to use dab of margarine. Cheap and it strips the sap off. If you use a little before handling, the sap wont stick near as bad and wipes of. Dont use a ton and your hands wont feel greasy. Might be easier on the skin too :) Great video, thanks for the content!!
J B...thanks for the margarine tip. I will definitely try it.
margrine or butter was a family trick of ours! all saw millers
Thanks for posting. Excellent teaching.
vary helpful... you got some neet tricks as you do thangs !
Great video
helpful, Thanks
Nice work.
Nice job on the video. Several good tips that will make milling with my hm126 easier and more efficient. I especially liked the wooden ruler and the hook for your can't hook! I can't keep up with mine either!
Thank you. That’s a nice setup you have, there.
Very useful information. Thank you! Wish you were making more videos!
“Very rarely is it gonna be more than 12 inches” That’s what she said!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the tips on cleaning pine sap. Great video.
Thanks for watching Craig
Great video. Very informative.
That's right. First miss up we on ya! haha Very nice videos. Keep during what you do.
Thanks Hawaii! There certainly is a learning curve to this.
Mike
Just received my HM130 woodlander. Still in crate, but getting ready to assemble. Thank you for explaining your process co clearly.
Tom...you are going to really enjoy your Woodlander...Thanks for watching! Mike
Dang Mike, great video. Can’t wait to visit and even help out.
Vinny....if it wasn't for good friends like you I'd have no subscribers. :)
Nice job. Looking forward to assembling my 130 Max once the snow melts.
Thanks Bill....good luck with your mill. I have been impressed with Woodland Mills
Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
Thanks Josh
Thanks for the tips im planning on ordering a hm126 in a couple months. Recently retired and can't wait
Mark, thanks for watching. You are going to really enjoy that mill. Excited for you!
Mike
That was a good video. good info and good quality.
Thank you
Mike
Good work, thanks.
Thank you John
Liked.
Excellent!
Thanks AJ!
Nice job. My HM 130 is the model year prior to the HM130 Max. Had I known they were coming out with this one, I would have waited. Love my mill but there is so many things they made improvements on with your model. Keep cutting, stay safe, stay healthy. 👍
Thanks Ray...At my age, the thing I appreciate most is electric start. :)
@@activeoutdoorssawmillediti7736 if you run into a situation where you can't figure out why you're getting a wavy cut...try a 1- 1/2" blade instead of the 1-1/4". The cut quality is far superior.
@@Z-Bart where are you getting your blades from?
@@activeoutdoorssawmillediti7736 I only have the one 1-1/2" blade that I bought late last fall. Now I can't remember exactly where I ordered it from. Senior moment. The only drawback is they're a bit thicker and now it's does not fit in my sharpener that is set for the thinner 1-1/4" blades.
You won't get a 6 x 6 out of a 7" diameter log. 7" X 0.71 = a 4.97" square cant. OR... a 6" cant needs a log 6" X 1.41 = 8.46" in diameter. These formulas can make your life so much easier.
Dave
Thanks Dave! Great info…
Good stuff.
Thank you Nate
Do use a new mill for every vidio? Man that thing is clean. Nice job. I enjoy your channel.
Haha! Chris...it's a big investment so I do take care of it. If I don't clean off the pine residue on a regular basis it will no doubt build up. Thanks for watching.
Mike
How do you clean the sap off your mill?
Thanks man love your set up and awesome videos!
Thank you JAYBO
@@activeoutdoorssawmillediti7736 if you don’t mind me asking. How much was the trailer minus the sawmill? I’m looking at the hm130 myself and I’m wondering if it’s worth the extra investment.
@@jaybo5176 it was about a 2k premium. So glad I got it. Not only does it make me mobile but the working height is perfect. I see guys bending down all day long when running their mills. My back would never put up with that.
@@activeoutdoorssawmillediti7736 good deal👍🏻 glad to hear that. How was it shipped? I know their company is in Canada.
@@jaybo5176 They use RL Carriers. It will be delivered to the street. A liftgate will lower it to the ground but it's up to you to get it where it needs to go. Mine came in two metal crates. Each weighing about 900 pounds.
Feel for you having to put up with that sticky pitch. My sawing has all been with hardwoods.
But have worked on pine mills off-baring. Gloves used.
Good video, clear pic and no rush through the details. Makes it easy to learn your technique.
Thanks for the encouragement!
deernut00...thanks for the feedback on the off cut video. I'm going to remake it. Not my best work!
Good teaching vid. Subbed.
At 5:10 for a template, could one use a piece of Perspex with different shapes drawn nicely in different colours be handy?
This is a great video. I will watch this 10 more times before I make my first cut. Did you have to adjust the angle of idle wheel on the mill head at all out of the box?
Thank you for the kind words. People say that tracking will need to be adjusted on these new mills but mine arrived just fine and I did not have to do anything.
Mike
Great insight ! Do you have any opinions on White Pine for timber/lumber ? Thank you
I really don't have any opinions on White Pine but go to this link and you can ask the experts. These guys are ready and willing to help.

IT WAS VERY HELPFUL,MOSTLY LEARNING THAT YOU CANT HURRY,DONT WANT TO HIT THE SUPPORTS WITH THE BLADE,THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER
Thank you Dan. Glad it was helpful. I saw one guy make wood supports the same dimensions of the metal ones. Not sure how they would hold up but it would solve the problem of ruining a blade.
If it’s worth doing , do it well.
Good job
I agree...thanks NorCal
Fall Line Ridge uses a battery drill on his winch it looks like log loading is a snap.
I've seen that video. As hard as I was cranking I wondered if a drill could do it. Maybe with lower gears on the winch.
Thanks
Mike
@@activeoutdoorssawmillediti7736 He didn't change anything just adapted the drill to the winch crank.
I’m curious if you would need to air dry beams like this?
I’m asking because I was thinking of putting up a workshop in the spring and wondering if I could just mill up some red pine I have at my fathers property or if they would need to dry?
Everything I've read or have seen about timber frame or post and beam construction is that using green timbers is common. Besides...if wood dries at a rate of one inch per year, I'd have to wait 6 years before I used them. Some cracking and slight twisting was okay with me and adds to the character of the rough cut timbers.
Mike
Enjoyed your video but it told me how to make an 11X8 post, when you take that down to six do you rotate to keep the pith centered?
You have 5 extra inches on one side and 3 on the other. How would you bring it down to six.
Good question
Can you use green wood if it's thick enough for deck supports? Say 6x6 posts.
The correct answer is no unless the lumber has been graded and stamped. Having said that plenty of people use their sawmill wood for structural projects. Another issue will be the fact that it’s contacting the ground and is not pressure treated. There are ways to get around that though.
What model is your kubota? Where did you get the rear log carry setup? Nice work tips. Thanks
Lou...I have a video dedicated to this set up.

The links to the quick hitch and lifting tongs are in the description on that video. My tractor is a 20HP Kubota B7500
Thanks for watching
Mike
And is there a video of constructing the cabins with your 6x6’s. We have an HD36 and are cutting beautiful cedar lumber out here on the left coast.
@@lougiddings4054 I have not made a video of my construction yet but here is a link to a video that we modeled our construction after.

Where can I get those double log tongs?
Brian...I just put the link to the tongs in the description above. I got them from Amazon.
Hello, why is it important to keep the pith in the center when sawing a beam?
Visit this site. forestryforum.com/board/index.php This group is a wealth of knowledge and they can answer with certainty. But from what I've been told, the timber will be stronger and less prone to twisting and warping. I have found that to be true in the field.
Mike
Thank you :)
I want to see the cabin in the thumbnail....
Why is your mill hanging so high above the ground ?
It is the trailer model. It has axels and wheels which I don't currently have installed.
While making your cant you could have milled some dimensional lumber.
Jake...you are right but I have more dimensional lumber than I know what to do with. So I'd rather mill timbers to size and give the slabs away as firewood.
Should have bought a Wood Mizer with hydraulics
Sliding t- bevel to check for square. Really?
