FYI I have seen people add rubber hose to the carriage stops to help prevent metal wheel running into metal carriage stops. Nice job and good times with your dad.
9:30 working with your Dad is awesome. I’ve been working with my Dad since I was a boy. Bailing hay, working around the farm etc… When I decided to start beekeeping he was all in on that too. We have a lot of fun working together. Im sure he will be over helping me mill this summer and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I have a ground mount on 6x6 timbers HM130MAX. The best tip I can give you is get qty 3, 2 foot long each of metal pipe that just fits over your log stops. Slide these on then rolling that big log. No more climbing up the log stops and make turning logs easy. Tip number 2. Mark you log stops in inch intervals from top down to make setting them easy. Tip number 3 use a magnet on your scale as an indicator. Set you log stops using the graduation of tip 2 and move the magnet on your scale as a reminder of where your stops are so you do not hit them.
Congratulations Brock. I know you will enjoy the mill. One thing that helps me while turning log is to place a PVC tube over the log stop-it turn so much easier. I’ve also made a log turning winch for really large logs.
I couldn’t be happier for you Brock, the memories you are going to make with your dad will be priceless. I also think you made the right decision to go with this mill. I’m looking forward to more videos of you using this mill and the projects that you create using your own lumber 👍
Congrats Brock! Long time coming! Park loader in front of mill with forks. After first cut roll the log right off the mill onto forks. Then set the log back down with skidseer. Very easy for turning big logs by yourself. Thats how i do it.
Something to help the logs roll is some 3" PVC over the log stops. I have about 2' of PVC that I use to prevent the log from getting caught on the stops
You will love your choice of sawmill companies. Woodland Mills is top notch. For a company to show bearing part number and belt numbers where you can buy from a local supplier by knowing the part says volumes about the people running the company. Specs for parts are contained in the descriptions for cables etc. Parts pricing is very very reasonable. Shipping is high on parts so get all you want in one order. I both the HM130MAX and WC88 chipper. I do use a torque wrench set to 21 foot pounds to set my blade tension. Better life on the belts if you do not over tighten the blades. The belts need to be checked. Drive belt will get loose and stretch as it wears into the grove of the band wheel. Using a self leveling green laser and a square to set the bunk level if the best method. I put my laser on one side of the first bunk and it should hit my square at 1.5 inches where the triangle is. I purchased a black 1 foot square from Harbor freight that works very well for this and checking cant square. I have 2 extra bed extension sections so I must level a 23 foot sawmill. I also have the Woodland Mills Sharpener and tooth setter. Recommend both. I do wish they would speed up the push speed motor on the sharpener a little and/or make it variable speed adjustable. Be very careful when you are locking a cant against the small stainless steel stops. You will find quickly that when you lever lock the cant you will push up the lock side and then you will cut trapezoid shaped lumber. My preferred method on a 8x8 or larger cant is to not lock it. I use a drill in place of my hand crank so I can easily cut a board, reset zero on my DRO, raise my head, retract carriage, drop head down to desired cut on the DRO and cut. I keep doing this, leaving my boards stacked, until I run out of cut throat. The weight holds down the cant well and the drill makes this doable without cranking yourself to death. Congratulations on your sawmill! You made the best choice on the market for the money spent.
When you check level on the blade do it on the back of the blade so the set on the tooth doesnt affect your measure. My first cuts were firewood so youall done good!
Congrats on getting you bandsaw mill. You and your dad had big smiles on you face the whole time you were cutting . Looking forward to more videos’s with you cutting boards.👍TCT
Congratulations on your first cut. As a suggestion, some people add ball bearings to the top of the (badly designed) log stops to allow the cant to roll easier.
Great! My son and i have the 126 Woodland with the 14hp engine. We love it. We added track to allow 21' foot cuts. You can even do more than one log if they are close in size.
I remember my first cuts on my sawmill. So much fun, and seeing all the great lumber I was making, I did the exact same thing. I went on line and added up how much money I just saved. Great video
Awesome Brock! You look like a kid that got his first train set, set it up, and ran it for the first time lol. Looked like the first cuts went very smooth - like butter! Before long you will have more lumber stacked up than you know what to do with. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Hello Brock. Congratulations on setting up the mill. What way does the prevailing wind come from? I noticed you are blowing sawdust into your quonset. Will this dust build up on your other equipment? I would suggest flipping the mill end-to-end. If you do this, the sawdust will blow outward and be easier to remove. You could also build a deck/ramp for loading logs onto the mill from the left (now outer) side.
When rolling big logs, I always extend the log stops to their highest point. It's easier to flip the log without it setting on top of the log stop. Just remember to put them back down when the log is turned. I'll probably go out today and check to see if the frost has knocked my mill out of level. There's about twenty oak logs to saw, so I'm anxious to get going! I have to make sure that the yard is dried up, too. Don't want to make ruts all over the place with my tractor. You'll see that as you continue sawing, things will get easier and all sorts of ideas will come to mind. Good luck, and have fun!
I think it looks like a great setup !. Before you get this workspace totally cluttered , get your manlift in there and hang 4 nice Brite LED ( fluorescent style ) fixtures. That way, you can always have great lighting without messing with portable lighting....there's a whole lot of us out here vicariously having a great time setting up and running our new sawmill lol !! Good job Brock pc
@Rockhill farm check them out at your nearest Menards ,Lowes, etc etc. They come with cords and chain hanger kits , they will be hung , and on display.....economical to operate , lots of lite output , very low maintenance , cold weather tolerant !
Brock…. SUPER HAPPY for you brother!! I have really enjoyed watching you from the beginning on your channel grow into the professional that you have become today!! You really are a shining example of what anyone can accomplish in the world today when You put your mind and back into it…. I’ve said it before and I will say it again…. You have the best channel on RUclips in your band width. Your mindset, attitude and work ethic are unsurpassed sir. Keep em coming and I look forward to following your continued journey forward in the coming years. 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
As a reminder the vise grips were to stop the head from being pushed down the track by the wind and flipping over the end stops. Also, you may want to put cross members on your stand, you're getting some wiggle when you push on the log. You may need to lower your height, when we measured mine it was 30" and that works really good. Otherwise great work.
I live in a city on the other side of the world and if you think I'm gonna sit here for 17 minutes and watch some yank play with his new saw mill you're absolutely right
Congrats on your first cuts, went smooth. No doubt you will get your monies worth, for sure. I couldn't believe how many friends I made when people found out I had a Woodland mills stump grinder on my kubota. A portable mill - you will have friends coming out of the woodwork, no pun.
Ok Brock, looks like you and Pappa are ready to have fun. CONGRATS, Take care and be careful but enjoy all you can with your dad. Oh, and where are your safety glasses...... Lmao, people I swear Oh, I bought a cheap Amazon special torque wrench and found that 22 pounds tension on the blade is PERFECT on my HM130M. And yes, throw some plastic pipe over those short log stops and you will easily roll your log over. I can see it now....... or maybe I'm even placing a bet, by July 4th you will have purchased a .........Power head. Just saying... Take care my and stay safe David
On a sawmill? Never would’ve occurred to me. Doesn’t seem to be much of a hazard. At no point are you in line with discharging material or anything of that nature?
@@RockhillfarmYT I always protect my eyes when using any sawing device, saved me a rip to the Dr many a time! Glasses would be fine, no shield is required. Just be safe, don't need a pirate patched utuber.

Congratulations, safety Sally says, don’t forget earring protection.
You always remember your first time. 👍
That's a great video, Brock. Fascinating stuff, to me. You had mentioned getting one, and there it is! Thanks so much!
Looks like working nice Brock.
I know this is a little bit late but congratulations on getting ur mill up and going and you and your dad cutting yalls first long on the new mill.
Thank you
Aw that's a nice looking log
FYI I have seen people add rubber hose to the carriage stops to help prevent metal wheel running into metal carriage stops. Nice job and good times with your dad.
AWESOME! Congrats!

Awesome
Did you design and custom build your own mill? Or is that a brand name?
@@RockhillfarmYT yes I designed and built it myself. There are some things I’d like to modify when I get the time. It cuts straight though.
@@WideCutSawmill well done
@@RockhillfarmYT thank you!
Welcome to the Woodland Mills club. watch out for those log stops!
Yes sir
Walk by faith not by sight.
You and your dad had faith in that log,
I have a ground mount on 6x6 timbers HM130MAX. The best tip I can give you is get qty 3, 2 foot long each of metal pipe that just fits over your log stops. Slide these on then rolling that big log. No more climbing up the log stops and make turning logs easy.

Brock, congratulations! Saw looks and works awesome. And rack made by you is rock solid. Go cut some live edge slabs too!!!
nice Brock,
I am impressed, such a great video. Y'all did good!
Thank you sir
I really enjoy watching you work with your Dad. I can tell he is excited for you to have the mill.
I couldn’t be happier for you Brock, the memories you are going to make with your dad will be priceless. I also think you made the right decision to go with this mill. I’m looking forward to more videos of you using this mill and the projects that you create using your own lumber 👍

Park loader in front of mill with forks. After first cut roll the log right off the mill onto forks. Then set the log back down with skidseer. Very easy for turning big logs by yourself. Thats how i do it.
I’ve been thinking I would probably do most of my log, turning with the forks.
I appreciate the advice.

Congratulations Brock, when you were turning the log your stand looked a little shaky. You may want to put some cross members on your stand.

My first few cuts were firewood too lol
Love seeing you and your dad doing this together!
Definitely
when turning the log or cant slip a peice of 2 in. pvc over stops. much easier. had my hm126 since 2016 . good mills for the money.
Congratulations brock on your new mill
its always fun to see what is inside a piece of wood 😀
congrats, Brock and shout out to dad
Exciting times for you Brock, congrats on the next level of your business. It's helping me decide whether to make a similar investment.
Thanks for following along. And good luck with yours
If you have a market for the lumber or for your own use this mill could pay for itself in a very short period of time
Congrats on getting you bandsaw mill. You and your dad had big smiles on you face the whole time you were cutting . Looking forward to more videos’s with you cutting boards.👍TCT
Thank you sir
That is really nice Brock, I foresee a very big mess of sawdust in the rest of your hut though.
Yeah, I need to do something about that. First thing I try will be hanging a 5 gallon bucket on the mill
Congratulations on your first cut. As a suggestion, some people add ball bearings to the top of the (badly designed) log stops to allow the cant to roll easier.
Great! My son and i have the 126 Woodland with the 14hp engine. We love it. We added track to allow 21' foot cuts. You can even do more than one log if they are close in size.

That’s awesome. You’re Quansett hut never looked so good or felt so useful….
Yes sir
you never can judge a book by its cover , never second guess what’s in side a log
I live in a city on the other side of the world and if you think I'm gonna sit here for 17 minutes and watch some yank play with his new saw mill you're absolutely right
Awesome man it was quite the journey testing out all the mills. Congrats it will a lot of fun!
Congrats on your first cuts, went smooth. No doubt you will get your monies worth, for sure. I couldn't believe how many friends I made when people found out I had a Woodland mills stump grinder on my kubota. A portable mill - you will have friends coming out of the woodwork, no pun.
Lift it up with the skid and cut the legs from the stand to make it lower
try useing a smaller gas next time, it sure makes refueling the gas tank much easier, tip.
Ok Brock, looks like you and Pappa are ready to have fun. CONGRATS, Take care and be careful but enjoy all you can with your dad. Oh, and where are your safety glasses...... Lmao, people I swear
Oh, I bought a cheap Amazon special torque wrench and found that 22 pounds tension on the blade is PERFECT on my HM130M. And yes, throw some plastic pipe over those short log stops and you will easily roll your log over. I can see it now....... or maybe I'm even placing a bet, by July 4th you will have purchased a .........Power head. Just saying...
Take care my and stay safe
David
Thanks for sharing your thoughts this fine day
👀
you and your tools are going to get covered in sawdust :) , I know you did not need me to tell you that.
Right. I have a couple of dust collector’s, but first thing I’m gonna try is hanging a bucket on the backside of the mill
If you decide to lower your stand you might want to consider x bracing your legs, there was a lot of wabble when you rolled the log.
Brock did you check the oil in the. Motor or did they ship it with oil in it
Hey brock I see alot of guys take the tenchen off the blade when not using it
Good tip. I did that as well although I didn’t mention it in the video
Thats some expensive firewood....😂
What blades are best for pine?
There are some comments about that on the Woodland Mills site, but I’m not enough of an expert to answer it. I’ve only just started milling.
Where is your safety equipment when you're working on the mill?
Where are your safety gasses??
On a sawmill? Never would’ve occurred to me.
Doesn’t seem to be much of a hazard. At no point are you in line with discharging material or anything of that nature?
