Thank you Andy. It's all with many thanks to you buddy, I really appreciate all your help. It really is a good tool to have. Thank you for your support 👍😊
Nick the log wizard looks great. Do you think it would have thicker bark? Your logs appeared cleaner than mine. Did you resolve the head issues you were having? Also I noticed your yellow stiffening rail doesn't have all the nuts and bolts. I have 3 bolts in each of the 3 holes. Not sure if it's needed or not. You have more bracing thank my 3 trailer jacks per side. Another great video.
Hi Jerry, thanks for watching and commenting 😁 I believe the log wizard would handle thicker bark for sure, I've been going through some thick ish bark on them douglas fir trees. The logs are too dirty but places with some mud etc so better off cleaning the bark off. Also I've found the bark is very course and not sure what that does to the blades life. Regarding the head, it seems to be normal however I've just noticed yesterday that my blade isn't level, so wondering if it's tracking a little wrong. I'll address that in a video soon. Yes I seems to scrimp on getting some bolts on the track, well only on them yellow strips, I thought that strip was just for the 2 plates to stop it from falling over 😄 ill address that soon too. Been having too much fun milling. I've something else exciting coming, we'll exciting for me 😄 Yea I've got a few supports on that mill. Is there about 12 in total I think. Thank you as always 😊
Hi Donald and welcome to the channel and thank you for watching and commenting 😊 You are very observant and correct, I changed my digital scale because the 1st one I had installed was faulty and the company wanted me to send it back but never got round to it and to be honest I didn't like it too much anyways. The concept of them is brilliant though. So there's another company in the UK www.machine-dro.co.uk/ And I bought their 600mm or 2 feet digital readout out with remote. This one works fantastic, but doesn't like the rain so I must address that sooner rather than later. Regarding what's available in Canada, I'm not sure how I can help, others on here seem to just get them of Amazon. I hope you get one because it will revolutionise your mill 😃
Thats quite an interesting question. Maybe we should get in touch through WhatsApp or something. I'd like to get further into this topic. I've been cutting 18mm or ¾" boards and a lot of them so my blade hasn't been lasting so long. Maybe about 4.5m or 14' of log. That's even with the de barking process. I wonder if my blades aren't quite suited to what I'm cutting. Feel free to contact me on nick.garton@hotmail.com Thank you for your support as always buddy.
@@everydaywithmenick maybe the logs are forest dried? (Meaning they have been dead in the forest for a while and all dried up) dry lumber is considered a lot harder to cut then wet stuff.
@@Ants_Pants I'd like to try forest dried logs but all mine are fresh cut down. So they are very wet and sometimes don't cut all that well and leave a furry edge and doesn't look great. But I keep on top of the blades and change them about 3 hours maybe 4 hours of milling.
Great to see the ‘Wizard’ at work…….and the Log Wizard too 🤣🤣 Glad you like it Nick. Already looking forward to the next video 👍🏻

Seems to work fine man, how many logs can you cut with 1 blade? My record is 22 logs (3 meters long) with the pressure washer method.
