I'M telling you.... you are doing a bang-up job of displaying Woodland Mill's products. I know you don't expect it but I hope they show their appreciation. great job
I was contemplating starting a "pool" on when you'd be getting an extension. You're transitioning into a fine brand ambassador for Woodland Mills. They see it, we see it, thank you for your patience and attention to detail with these types of videos. Hope Woodland Mills at least sends you a Mill cover and a box of blades.
Your timing is impeccable. Just last week, I was discussing getting the extension for my 130 Woodlander Max, and she gave me the go-ahead. We'll be ordering it toward the end of February, and I'll be coming back to this video once again after it arrives. Great job, as always.
Howdy Sandy- so happy you got the extension for your mill. It’s always nice to be able to cut longer material. I think you will really appreciate that. From my experience Woodland Mills are not that difficult to assemble. I was very fortunate to have a couple wonderful friends who had watched many videos of how to put everything together and were here to help me. Needless to say they have access to the mill. Take care and God bless
Hey Sandy! Nice day out in the red pine forest there! Thanks for having us out to show the new extension to the mill! I knew it was a matter of time before you’d have it 😉 will be a great addition going forward! Thanks for showing the unboxing and install, nicely done and great camera angles as always! Looking forward to joining you back at the mill to see it running the big logs! Thanks again for having us along! Take care! Andrew from NB :)
@@sawingwithsandy just wondering who James is? 🥴🙃 was the above comment meant for someone else? Noticed this on the previous video as well 😗. Andrew from NB :)
I’m excited for you Sandy, that’s gonna make your life much easier on 8, 10 or 12 footers (even 16), that opens up a whole nother level! Woo hoo, let’s get sawing!! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
The one big thing I prayed for came in spades. Nice work Sandy and a great job of explaining the ins and outs of this mill. Not real sure just how your going to incorporate the rest of this building now that you have more covered spaces
Now that’s a nice extension! I don’t get why they would build a sawmill that wouldn’t saw 12 feet at least. Great job! Always fun to be a part of this sawmill/RUclips community for sure! Be well
it is all about the ''selling you an extension'', it is good to have 10 feet of mill for an 8 foot log, but you need 12 feet 6 inches to do a 12 footer., and we can charge you 300 bucks for the ability to do that.
I just finished fine tuning my mill. 130 max with trailer. 16 ft. The trucking company lost alot of parts but the girls at Woodland mills are awesome to work with. Taking extra time to make sure everything is square and flat and level made a big difference. My saw cuts extremely Flat. Thanks for Your great videos.
Hey brother! You are my spirit animal! I’ve always had a proclivity to building things with rough cut since I was a kid on the farm. After pricing out sawmills, I came across your channel and feel like I’m watching my Canadian doppelgänger. Love the videos and you inspired me to save my $ for my hopeful hm126 woodlander xl purchase soon. Thanks for the good content and for keeping me motivated!
@@benscoles5085 thank you sir! I am proud to report that I have pulled the trigger and now anxiously await my sawmill delivery. My kids have already drawn up a list of projects they want my to build them. It’s interesting looking back, 5 months ago when positing the original comment- how things do happen when you commit to something. I appreciate the well wishes and support! Cheers
Thanks for the nice relaxing video for me and my granddaughter on a Saturday morning! Pretty hard core doing a "summer project" in the middle of winter...😁 I wished they made a half section extension, but they don't, so I made my own so I could saw 13' on my old HM126. I find they finish out nicely to 12' after drying and planing, there's always a bit of snipe on the planer you lose. Going to be interesting seeing you maneuver the mill OUT of the shed now!
She's ready to get fired up and sawing. Looks really good and looking forward to that massive big log. Like marking a post as you grow that big log will get it's notch for it's size.
Hi Sandy. My HM126 Woodlander has the extension on it. I made a mistake ordering and got an extra 6FT. extension if I ever wanted to go longer 22FT. Thanks Sandy. Have fun.
Nice one Sandy as with all your tutorials easy to follow and good fun to watch I have the same length trailer but with the with the HM126 fantastic piece of kit One thing don't forget to redrill the holes that restrain the mill head when towing They are in a slightly different place for the longer trailer to ballance it 👍
Good afternoon, Sandy! I'm sure you built this before the big freeze that we are in right now (Saturday, Feb. 4), but that looks great, and now you won't be as restricted in your log length when milling. Stay warm!! Greetings from Peterborough.
It looks like mine, only a little more fancy. That went well, I would leave trailer hitch on, and it sticking out of the shed will not hurt anything, and it's a straight shot out of shed with some built-in ramps. You might have to take afew trees out of the way thou and a straight shot backing into shed, much safer too. Good job. 👍 as always.
I was sure you would end up adding the extension because I know it actually helps even sawing 10 foot logs because you don't have to worry where the log sets so much. Good to see you sit back up ready to go. Great video Sandy.
Yeah after having it on my first sawmill and not having it on this one I can say with certainty I would get it with an extension in the future right from the start. Glad you liked the video Jeff
Hello Sandy. I cannot wait to see the project that you need the extension to cut a longer log. In the video, the trailer was jacked up from putting it together. When you do the final leveling, will the trailer tires be touching the floor? As you know, tires lose air pressure, and the temperature affects tire pressure as well. This could slant the mill one way or the other. Watching how you do things makes me think if there was any hardware left over, it will find its way in a box or drawer. The more you save, the less you buy. Have good days!
Being someone who's considering getting my own HM130 this video is very well detailed. Thank you for that, Sandy. Would also appreciate an update if you need to do some tweaking later on. Beautiful thing!
Hi Sandy! The electric height adjustment and lasers made sawing lumber more precise and less of a chore, but this addition has extended the mill's capabilities exponentially. I can't wait to see what you will be building going forward. Something tells me the sawmill complex has not seen its final renovation or expansion just yet. Continued good luck!
Very cool! Imagine all the giants logs you'll get on there now! I never get to watch so early but my truck isn't liking this polar vortex so I'm late for work, watching while I wait for a boost. Hope everyone's keeping warm today!!
Looks like it might be a little more challenging getting the trailer in and out of the shed now. Might just have to clear those trees at the tongue end of the trailer after all. I'll be here to see what happens either way. Good vid. Thanks.
Having the extra length will prove to be very useful. I can cut 21' on my Wood-Mizer LT35HD. it is nice having the capability for those longer pieces of lumber needed. The extension on your mill looked fairly straight forward and easy. Keep up the good content.
@@sawingwithsandy Thanks, I just got the mill the last weekend of August '22. I've but 19 hours on it and have many projects in mind and gain very useful knowledge from channels such as yours and the likes. I am currently putting in an access road to the area in which I will be building the sawmill shed. I have a plan in mind but have not solidified it just yet. I am cutting pine and Poplar planning on the build with the possibility of Oak for the posts.
Nice video Sandy. I bet you'll like the ability to mill the longer lengths. I added additional track to my mill so I could cut 20 foot 6x6's. I don't know how you have the time to get everything done you do, especially with all the snow.
I built mine all at once by the book. When done it was no where near flat from end to end. I ended up loosening everything and used a lazer level to make the trailer flat. Then I made a gauge block to set the rail to the trailer. Also I had two track sections that didn't match it was a bump. I ended up shimmed the joints. If you shim the joint you must shim both sides of the joint. One on the top and one on the bottom of the other side.
Looking forward to how you build new log deck and ramp to get trailer on and off, although that will not happen very often! Look forward to seeing it in use.
Looks like you might want to build a ramp straight out the front of the saw mill shed.straight out n straight back in.may be a few trees to go but sure make it alot easier for you.
Nice job, Sandy! (Looks like my last suggestion as far as getting an extension wasn't needed lol!) But NOW you've committed yourself to completing a ramp off the end to get the saw off and on the deck, when you need to move it! I would suggest a wide ramp of 6x6.....a lot easier than a balancing act on a couple of boards! NICE jacket!! (I used to tell the wife, my Snap-on jacket cost me $1000, but I got the toolchest free!)
Yeah the end ramp would be ideal for sure. Glad you like the jacket. I like it as well. Comfortable jacket and sometimes it's one of my only jackets that aren't covered in oil (see how long that lasts haha)
@@sawingwithsandy, yeah, I figured WM must love the glowing reviews you give on their products, lol! I've often how many WM owners bought their mill, BECAUSE of your channel?! (I know that you've provided more info, to convince me that for the money, service support and your after sale experience the past few years, has given me the itch to get one, lol!)
Finally, I’ve thought you’d be doing this quite some time ago. Notice you got rid of the plastic you had I’ve always thought that if you would have put a canvas tarp on a pipe and use a chain drive to roll up the tarp with a crank manually operated, much like the old dump truck tarps, it would sure keep everything dry and sheltered. Anyhow thanks for sharing I’m happy for you. Cheers.
Hey Gerry. Sure has been a while thinking about the extended length but I finally got it setup. The problem I was having with the tarp was bees nesting in it
@@sawingwithsandy didn’t realize that. Not everything is black and white, still like the idea of having curtain or tarp of some kind to keep the weather out.
Good morning Sandy that was interesting it is nice to be able to cut at least 16 feet logs great demonstration on how to do it you definatly would be able to put a little red wagon for the kids at Christmas ha ha ha I don't think you will be able to take it down from there the way you did before the extention I defetnatly want to see that one but I think you might have to find a way straight down at the end of the building we'll you are almost ready to make dust unless you built a lot deck that will be a high one to do have a great day
Sandy, love the content! Always a gem. Question for you, how far you figure to span a 2x14 beam? I'm trying to do the math for my sawmill shed to allow for a 16' opening so I can tractor in 16' logs but I don't want the whole thing to come crumbling down. I'm also in Ontario. I have the same HM130 Max with the trailer extension as well. Just trying to maximize the shed plans before I build. Thanks so much.
Great to hear that Harrison! I typically will look to a local beam span table to help give me an idea of the material/span requirements in my area. I'm thiking I'd probably go a bit bigger on the beam especially if you have good snows where you are. Thanks again for watching the video and hope to see you on the next one
Sandy, I'm surprised a guy like you doesn't carry a pocket knife... I feel like men should always have a decent pocket knife with them, they come in handy so often. I've also found lots of men don't carry them so I've started giving them as gifts to the guys I know who should carry one but don't...
Truthfully I don't find I'm looking for a knife too often as I often have other tools handy for the odd job. I've got about 10 knives in my toolbox in the shop but forgot to bring one haha
OK, you surprised me. I did not see you putting the trailer in the shed and I certainly didn't forsee you putting an extension on the trailer after puting it in the shed. I expected you to buy another track for the shed then just transfer the the sawhead back and firth between trailer and shed with the tractor or by intalling a beam to hoist and roll the sawhead back and forth. I'm really curious to see how you plan to get that long trailer out again. Thaks for the great content!
Have you ever considered adding a DIY board return to the mill. You would still need to pull the head back but would help with handling wood at the tail end of the mill. Just wondering if you have considered it. Videos are great, enjoy winter evenings watching your videod.
Great question Nathan, I've thought a little bit it about it but my main concern was I don't really have anywhere for the lumber to go or slab to go if I were to pull it back towards the end of the sawmill.
I know it might be a good thing to build a ramp on the end where your trailer hitch is pointed and I know you will have to cut some trees out the way so you can back sawmill up into the shed. Have a great day be safe.
Nice work Sandy! On a warmer day, can you talk us through the track leveling process you use? You might be the only person who can do it without using profanity 😉
Sandy, did you tighten those M10 bolts to specified torque? I think they say 53 inch/pound . I myself tighten them pretty good , 53 inch/pound seems not right ,very loose .Unless Im not setting my torqeu wrench correctly
Nice job, Sandy, although I'd expect nothing less from you. What's missing? I would have a nice burn pit to keep warm while working in that snow! BTW, where was your 'mug of sludge?!' How can a guy work without coffee?!?!
Hi Carl! Great to hear from you. I had to take my jacket off I was getting so warm out here today haha. My cold bloodedness must be kicking in this time of year. I had a sludge on the go in the background but I finished it off pretty quick. I should've brought out the big Thermos haha
Find the nut /hex head size get a socket and socket drive adapter and then can use cordless to speed up the retract and extention of Jacks use Handel for fine tuning level
I was wondering how much longer it was going to be before you got the extension to the trailer considering I saw the length of some of the wood you cut with your old sawmill. I bought the 16‘7“ trailer at the beginning because like you, I plan on cutting some beams and poles that would be longer than 12 foot. Happy sawing Sandy
The trailer axle is over six feet further away from the hitch, is that still the best location for the axle? Is there an easy way to move the axle forward? Nice work!
Hi Brian, the wiring harness that comes with the standard length trailer (Woodlander) has enough slack in it so that it can also be used for the longer trailer length that I've got now.
Sandy! Question! How has tracking been using the trailer? Have you checked as often as you did with the old setup?! Close to getting a Woodlander package myself, and wondered if (once jacked up) the sawmill bed and rails have stayed in adjustment /alignment better than before, since the the trailer frame helps keep the whole unit more rigid!
Hi Bruce, great question. I have found I haven't had to adjust the jacks much at all and the sawmill has stayed pretty much put with the trailer. Pretty happy about that myself
I got mine all at once and got it put together. I am cutting fine when I am just using 2 bunks but beyond that I flatten the top of my log and turn it over and with 3 or 4 bunks the middle ones are not touching the log. My track appears to be level so I am not sure why the bunks are not. Open to thoughts. Thanks
Think that's the way to go Doug. All at once save a bit on shipping too. Usually all the bunks would touch. Sometimes if you switch the position of the bunks around that can make up the difference
Hi Ben, thanks for watching. I'll start by making everything flat so that all the bunks are on the same plane then I'll make it level with the jacks that come with the trailer.
Sandy, have you raised your mill head? It looks like the log scale will hit the joist if you go to high, hopefully its just the camera making it look to close.
Are you kidding me..,really. Yes I've been screaming bed extension. I love my 126 xl woodlander. Great decision. Damnit I love your decision..slow but hey it's OK..I mean your brain is frozen. 😂 Woodland mills is an extremely well designed product.
I'M telling you.... you are doing a bang-up job of displaying Woodland Mill's products. I know you don't expect it but I hope they show their appreciation. great job
Thanks Yves. Glad you came along for the video today
I really like how Woodland Mill's included a longer wire harness with the original shorter trailer, just in case you went for the extension upgrade.
Sandy, I know you are super proud of your new Saw Mill extension, good job putting it together.
Thanks TJ
I was contemplating starting a "pool" on when you'd be getting an extension.
You're transitioning into a fine brand ambassador for Woodland Mills.
They see it, we see it, thank you for your patience and attention to detail with these types of videos.
Hope Woodland Mills at least sends you a Mill cover and a box of blades.
Hi Sandy, Great video. Very interesting. I sure enjoyed it!!!👍💖🥰🤗🤗
Thanks Judy!
I doubt very much that I will ever have a sawmill. They interest me, however. Thanks for sharing and letting me live vicariously through you!!
Thanks for coming along for the tour Frank
Congrats Sandy, on setting-up the new rails length and other items. looks great. note- unhook the tongue, push it in some and bolt-it on.
Hi Sandy!!😀😀
That's definitely going to be so much nicer now!!😀😀👍👍
Take care my friend!!😀😀💚

Hey Al! Thanks for checking out the new addition
There is a sheer exhilarating pleasure that comes from unwrapping something you've wanted for a long time, eh?
Im pretty pumped for sure
Glad to see you with the extension. You waited longer than I expected.
Like the new removable jack handle. That upgrade will save knees.
Yeah I held out a good while Leigh but figured its as time now. That removable handle is nice for sure
Thanks Much Sandy,
Kudos to Woodland to Stager the joints between the Trailer and Mill Track and not just an add on at the end.
Mike M.
Taking the trailer extention off is too easy; extend the shed. 😂😂😂 Watching you work gives me time to drink my sludge.☺ Thanks
hahah the shed would be harder jobs that's for sure. I'm having a sludge as we speak as well haha
I had a feeling you would be getting an extension sooner than later. Glad you got it done,and it looks great.
Thanks Wallace. Sure have been thinking hard about it but decided the extension was necessary

Or it will be like so many other mobile sawmills: it will never move again before it get's replaced with a fully hydraulic mill...
Same thought here. I want to see the (maybe funny) video of when you back the trailer out sideways. :)

Notice you got rid of the plastic you had I’ve always thought that if you would have put a canvas tarp on a pipe and use a chain drive to roll up the tarp with a crank manually operated, much like the old dump truck tarps, it would sure keep everything dry and sheltered. Anyhow thanks for sharing I’m happy for you. Cheers.
Hey Gerry. Sure has been a while thinking about the extended length but I finally got it setup. The problem I was having with the tarp was bees nesting in it
@@sawingwithsandy didn’t realize that. Not everything is black and white, still like the idea of having curtain or tarp of some kind to keep the weather out.
Good morning Sandy that was interesting it is nice to be able to cut at least 16 feet logs great demonstration on how to do it you definatly would be able to put a little red wagon for the kids at Christmas ha ha ha
I don't think you will be able to take it down from there the way you did before the extention I defetnatly want to see that one but I think you might have to find a way straight down at the end of the building we'll you are almost ready to make dust unless you built a lot deck that will be a high one to do have a great day
Sure would be a bit of an operation to move it down from there now. Good incentive for me to clear out a few more trees though at the end.
Sandy, love the content! Always a gem.
Question for you, how far you figure to span a 2x14 beam? I'm trying to do the math for my sawmill shed to allow for a 16' opening so I can tractor in 16' logs but I don't want the whole thing to come crumbling down. I'm also in Ontario.
I have the same HM130 Max with the trailer extension as well. Just trying to maximize the shed plans before I build.
Thanks so much.
Great to hear that Harrison! I typically will look to a local beam span table to help give me an idea of the material/span requirements in my area. I'm thiking I'd probably go a bit bigger on the beam especially if you have good snows where you are. Thanks again for watching the video and hope to see you on the next one
Sandy, I'm surprised a guy like you doesn't carry a pocket knife... I feel like men should always have a decent pocket knife with them, they come in handy so often. I've also found lots of men don't carry them so I've started giving them as gifts to the guys I know who should carry one but don't...
Truthfully I don't find I'm looking for a knife too often as I often have other tools handy for the odd job. I've got about 10 knives in my toolbox in the shop but forgot to bring one haha
OK, you surprised me. I did not see you putting the trailer in the shed and I certainly didn't forsee you putting an extension on the trailer after puting it in the shed. I expected you to buy another track for the shed then just transfer the the sawhead back and firth between trailer and shed with the tractor or by intalling a beam to hoist and roll the sawhead back and forth. I'm really curious to see how you plan to get that long trailer out again. Thaks for the great content!
Glad you enjoyed the video Robert
Sandy she looks awesome there now. maybe i will get the extension for her someday
I'm happy to add it to the mill for sure. Looking forward to getting back to cutting the longer stuff like I used to
Awesome sauce!
Thanks Jill!
Great Video.. New Jacks are cool.. you could utilize a battery operated driver / impact to raise and lower if you are transporting the mill regularly
Hey Rick! Great idea!
Have you ever considered adding a DIY board return to the mill. You would still need to pull the head back but would help with handling wood at the tail end of the mill. Just wondering if you have considered it. Videos are great, enjoy winter evenings watching your videod.
Great question Nathan, I've thought a little bit it about it but my main concern was I don't really have anywhere for the lumber to go or slab to go if I were to pull it back towards the end of the sawmill.
I know it might be a good thing to build a ramp on the end where your trailer hitch is pointed and I know you will have to cut some trees out the way so you can back sawmill up into the shed. Have a great day be safe.
Yeah I"ll have to come up with something like that for sure. This new length will make it tricky to take out the other way
@@sawingwithsandy with a ramp you can then used your ATV or utv to pull it out or back it in. Have a good day playing in the snow
Nice!!
Thanks Tim!
Nice work Sandy! On a warmer day, can you talk us through the track leveling process you use? You might be the only person who can do it without using profanity 😉
Hahah sure I’ll give it my best shot
Sandy, did you tighten those M10 bolts to specified torque? I think they say 53 inch/pound . I myself tighten them pretty good , 53 inch/pound seems not right ,very loose .Unless Im not setting my torqeu wrench correctly
Nice job, Sandy, although I'd expect nothing less from you. What's missing? I would have a nice burn pit to keep warm while working in that snow! BTW, where was your 'mug of sludge?!' How can a guy work without coffee?!?!
Hi Carl! Great to hear from you. I had to take my jacket off I was getting so warm out here today haha. My cold bloodedness must be kicking in this time of year. I had a sludge on the go in the background but I finished it off pretty quick. I should've brought out the big Thermos haha
I noticed you build with green lumber, and I’m curious how your projects have weathered over the time and moved
Would you be able to switch the center jack for the new one on the other side so your not bumping into the handle ? just a thought.
That may be a good idea right there Paul. Thanks for that one!
Looks great
Now you can also cut two 8' logs at a time
Great point Russell
Yo Hi Sandy Love the channel fellow Canuck here
Great to hear from ya neighbour!
Find the nut /hex head size get a socket and socket drive adapter and then can use cordless to speed up the retract and extention of Jacks use Handel for fine tuning level
That would be real handy Robert
I was wondering how much longer it was going to be before you got the extension to the trailer considering I saw the length of some of the wood you cut with your old sawmill. I bought the 16‘7“ trailer at the beginning because like you, I plan on cutting some beams and poles that would be longer than 12 foot. Happy sawing Sandy
Yeah I think having that extension right off the start is ideal too!
I was wondering how long it would be before you got the extension.
Yeah I figured it was time then I could get back to some longer length lumber
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻
Always appreciate the support! Thanks for watching
Like the Chanel. Wondering how thick a can't will fit between the top of sawhead and blade?
Hi Robert! Great to hear you're liking the channel. I can't remember exactly but I'm thinking it's around 7"
The trailer axle is over six feet further away from the hitch, is that still the best location for the axle?
Is there an easy way to move the axle forward?
Nice work!
I think it would be in a good spot as it still keeps a good amount of tongue weight on the tow vehicle which I prefer with a lighter setup like this
Hi Sandy, do you remember how much the extension for your sawmill was?
Didn't get to watch until later, did woodland mills also send you the longer wiring harness, the extension is what you needed.
Hi Brian, the wiring harness that comes with the standard length trailer (Woodlander) has enough slack in it so that it can also be used for the longer trailer length that I've got now.
Sandy! Question!
How has tracking been using the trailer? Have you checked as often as you did with the old setup?!
Close to getting a Woodlander package myself, and wondered if (once jacked up) the sawmill bed and rails have stayed in adjustment /alignment better than before, since the the trailer frame helps keep the whole unit more rigid!
Hi Bruce, great question. I have found I haven't had to adjust the jacks much at all and the sawmill has stayed pretty much put with the trailer. Pretty happy about that myself
@@sawingwithsandy That's great! I figured you would've said something by now, if you found any problems!
I got mine all at once and got it put together. I am cutting fine when I am just using 2 bunks but beyond that I flatten the top of my log and turn it over and with 3 or 4 bunks the middle ones are not touching the log. My track appears to be level so I am not sure why the bunks are not. Open to thoughts. Thanks
Think that's the way to go Doug. All at once save a bit on shipping too. Usually all the bunks would touch. Sometimes if you switch the position of the bunks around that can make up the difference
What about taking the new jacks and but them on the same side so less chance of the handles being shin busters?
That's a great idea Grant! Right where I"m walking.
Are there advantages of having the sawmill on a trailer even if you don’t move it? 🤷🏻♂️
Hello Mr. Sandy, I see a major problem if it were me doing this, since you made it longer, HOW do you level from one end to the other??,
Hi Ben, thanks for watching. I'll start by making everything flat so that all the bunks are on the same plane then I'll make it level with the jacks that come with the trailer.
Sandy, have you raised your mill head? It looks like the log scale will hit the joist if you go to high, hopefully its just the camera making it look to close.
Hey Paul! It is a close fit but luckily just makes it under the roof
How do you stand the cold temps!!!
It's too late now, but next time how about try putting the boxes up on the sawmill trailer to save your back? Otherwise great video as always.
That would be helpful for sure. I couldn't quite get them close enough with the tractor forks and the saw head in place
I was wondering how long it was going to take you to get the extension!
yeah sure is one of those must-haves I think
How's the lazers working with the added length?
Hey David! Lasers doing great thanks. The length doesn't affect it I'm finding
like a kid in a candy store...lol
hahah I was pretty happy to get this installed
@@sawingwithsandy a must have!!
I have seen trailers that use 1 pin to remove. They use receiver like on trailer hitch
That would be real handy!
How you going to load your logs now I shore liked it better the old way you loaded logs buy rolling them off your log pile on to the saw mill deck
Hi MIachel, I've been using the log loader trailer recently which has done a pretty good job
now that the mill is longer you ready to drop a 40" diameter log on it?
hahha I'd be sad to cut down any of my 40" white pines
@@sawingwithsandy won't ask you to cut down a thousand yrs old redwood.
Are you kidding me..,really.
Yes I've been screaming bed extension. I love my 126 xl woodlander. Great decision. Damnit I love your decision..slow but hey it's OK..I mean your brain is frozen. 😂
Woodland mills is an extremely well designed product.
hahah I was reading your mind Rick
👍👍👍💙💛❤BUNA SANDY, CU MULT DRAG.💙💛❤👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
77” is a little UNDER not over 6 1/2’. It’s 6’-5”
Glad you enjoyed the video
Well I don't think you will be doing that pirouette move you used to get it up there to get it out ! LoL
hahaha would make for a funnier video though
How much are the Chinese mills paying you?
