I'm so excited to be carrying inventory of the F2 Logosol Chainsaw Mill at The Wood Shed. Once Covid has passed, I look forward to opening my doors and showing you the mill in person. bit.ly/2xQ2VWZ

You're such an impressive young woman. You started out making videos with your phone & now you're over a million subscribers with your own shop. You're an American success story. Best part is you have remained humble. 👍🏻
Hi April, I found your shop the other day by accident and stopped by. You weren’t there but I talked to a very nice fellow with a big white beard. He showed me your giant bandsaw and this chainsaw mill. I can’t wait till you open up and I can follow you in person!
just asked people for a mill suggestion on a recent post and BOOM! everyone said come check out this video, and they were right. thanks for taking the time to make the video and share with us!
Great walk through. Looks like you have the F2 and the F2+. I just bought the F2+ last year and I really like it. I was hoping that it would cut wider slabs though. I also have the mill setup in 1/2 size mode. So the stands are about 1m (3' apart). I have an MS 660 but am limited to 24" bar if I use the carriage. I'm going to design a carriage for my 36" bar. I'm milling short but large diameter logs. I had to use my Granberg recently on a large walnut log that was only 55" long and would have loved to be able to use the Logosol.
Excellent review. Currently looking for a mill and this is now in the running, haven't heard of it before your video, for whatever that's worth. Thanks April.
Bought the 6m yesterday, from Sage atFox. Just watched your video this evening. Thank you. I had planned to do a video myself, but couldn’t have done a better job. Russ
Great video of the Logosol Milling System. They definitely have a great product and it works well from the different people who have them and share on RUclips. You did a great job April. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred
Question> I noticed that there appeared to be a para-cord type rope that elevated / lowered your logs with your Logosol. Is there any concern for that to weather if left outside? And how is it attached? I'm pondering which set-up I want to go with to cut hardwoods (ie: OAK) and I keep coming back to the Logosol. My concern is with 24" or larger dia oak logs that are 12' or longer. THANK YOU for this vid and all of the others!! Keep it up
That is an amazing tool! I am starting a separate savings account now.. lol... I live down south where there are lots of T-Storms constantly blowing over old growth White Oak and Live Oak trees and many others. I pass by these downed trees that will ultimately get burned in a pile and just think what a waste. Can you do a video on how to price slabs? I know each geographic local would be different but maybe just a generalization?
I typically only watch women's channels on youtube if they are wearing bikinis. The reason I mention this is because when I watch April's videos, I get lost by her amazing presentations that are direct-to-the-point intelligent as well as methodical. I get so overwhelmed by the vast amounts of knowledge she is sharing that I forget that she is in fact an amazingly beautiful woman. This woman is a real deal craftsman and I applaud her commitment to learning everything about a topic before addressing us with it.
How do you load a log on the F2 if you don’t have a tractor with a grapple or gravity hook? You travel to a location, unload the F2 and set it up remotely, then what if you don’t have a way to get the log on the machine? Are there winching attachments to pull a 1000 lb log onto the machine?
This is exactly the issue I have experienced with remote milling. Logs are heavy and unless you have heavy machinery it is a huge struggle. Also I can see this lightweight structure being easily damaged by a heavy log or tractor.
I've seen them advertised, but never really paid much attention to them. Now I will have to take another look. I have an Alaskan chainsaw mill. Thanks for another great video! :)
In your experienced opinion, do you think the F2 is worth the $2,000 more than a bandsaw mill? I really like this thing because of the portability. At the same time I could buy a quality bandsaw mill and a trailer to haul it on for the same price. Any thoughts?
Superbe machine ! Je regarde vos vidéos et je peux vous dire que vous êtes plus travailleuse et efficace que beaucoup d'homme ici en France ! Bravo à vous !
April I enjoy your videos. Just a question about how do you put a log of any size on the mill without taking a tractor or such to load it? It seems it defeats the purpose of taking the mill to the log. What is the max diameter of log that you can put on mill? If you can get your truck to log...then what is stopping you from taking log arch trailer? I understand the multi trip thing. :)
Awesome, thanks from Oz April, definately will be looking seriously at one of these, what is maximum size and weight the f2 can handle? Aussie hardwood is very heavy!!
I just purchased the F2 from April (it is still on the way). I was excited to buy it from her because the 'east coast' dealer that I contacted was not easy to deal with. With April it was quick and easy. Excited to get this thing set up and start milling.
In your video with the Granberg mill you where using the Husqvarna 460 Rancher, and now you seem to be using Stihl. Did the Rancher hold up very well. I am interested in milling for my own projects.
I own a logosol bigmill with the 9’ foot aluminum beam and extrusions that attach to each end of the log. I use a Dolmar chainsaw which is about 80cc. I’ve enjoyed sawing with it over the years but because of my back I must sell... if anybody is looking for a good deal. I can’t say a bad thing about Logosol. Very good build quality! There’s nothing like taking a log from the woods that would just rot away and turning it in to something beautiful. April enjoy your new Logosol!
Hey April, Love everything about your attitude wiyh wood working. An outstanding, inspirational, lady in wood working.. I have had an M7 Logosol Mill I believe 13 years. Very Fun, Portable, weather tight, have cut thousands of feet of, not just lumber, but Bowl blanks , thin stock for scroll saw and veneer work, all kinds of specilty cuts... The only part that wears out, only twice , are the lift ropes.. Mice to blame.. Keep up the Great Work.. Dave
Thx for the run-thru. I had looked at these a year or so ago. Love the technology and craftsmanship. At the time I do t think they had the slabber. I don’t see the advantage of needing lifting all logs up on this model. It seems like it also would limit the size and shape that would fit comfortably up on this machine. I won’t be doing a lot of commercial work, maybe none. But I have about 50 logs of my own that I want to cut and save for my own use. I had given some serious thought to a Grandburg. But it seemed kind of klunky and slow. Milled lumber in Southern, IN is fairly cheap because everybody and their brother seems to have a mill. But the Big Slabber seems like it might just be what I’m really looking for. Why didn’t you look at that model? It does look like it will take more time between cuts to re-set the runners. But it sure looks like The Big Slabber is more stable than a Granburg and it sure looks like it’s faster than a Gbrg on the cut. I value your thoughts, love your channel- what am I missing? I’m pretty sure I want to buy a Big Slabber.
Looks awesome and portable but how do you lift logs onto it if your out in the field and they are too heavy? That’s where your other mill would have it’s advantage. Guess it’s one of those things where you can’t have too many mills. Love your content
There’s a guy on the show “Mountain Men” (Marty) that is a trapper. He flies to his trapping grounds in Alaska and stays in log cabins all winter when trapping. He used a chainsaw mill very similar, maybe same name brand, to build his cabins. He flew the mill out to his very remote locations in a small plane. Then he’d take each piece of the mill to the build site. He would cut each tree and then use this mill to mill the logs and build his cabins. So if he could get his out to his places in a small aircraft and build several cabins I believe this would be great for anyone to use
I've seen it! Man that guy is something else. Builds log cabins by himself. I also saw one where his snowmobile broke down and he had to walk home 10 miles through the snow in -40 F temps at night! Too bad he quit the show.
I'm a newer subscriber in Austin and I'm counting down the days until the wood shed opens! this is so cool! I have wanted to make a live edge sofa table for years now and I recently got a bid from a local guy for $5000. Pretty sure I can buy the log, the mill, and a welder for the legs for less than that!
You totally can! Ha. I can't wait to open either! It should be soon though. I'm thinking of having Maker Meetups where the mill can be running and people can even be making live edge tables as a class. We'll see.....: )
This is theee best demonstration of the F2 I've seen. They have the LOGOSOL bar I see. They should just package it with saw and be done with it. Great video as usual.
So excited to become part of this family of millers... never done any of this but have been researching chainsaw milling. This looks to be the absolute safest so far. I have bought a few acres of forest land zoned AG!!!! that I am looking to build on ...and hate to see the forest aka homesite cut up as firewood ....when it could be worth so much more! Not even talking money wise just as material for anything your hearts desire! Congrats on the dealership! Hope Canton Ga isn’t to far to ship too! Wish I had seen this before moving from Louisiana...
Wish there was a way to get logs on it without having to use a tractor. Id take it to location where I cut but would be able to lift logs on the table. It would be nice if the lift system went all the way down to allow ground loading
Dankie/ Merci. It is amazing.... Cutting trees and make it usable. Mazing. My Dad(1931-1984) had a farm at Paarl, near Cape Town, with to many trees on it. He had a 3 Fase motor min mill and it was heavy as hell. Indeed amazing....
So cool! I've been building a much smaller chainsaw mill, using a Skilsaw Carpentry Chainsaw. That Logosol is WAY nicer. :) Thanks for the detailed review!
I'm glad you went to the heavier clothing and face shield and chaps. If you've seen chainsaw injuries from a thrown chain or kick back you know what I'm talking about! Imagine throwing a chain horizontally at chest height! Gnarly!
I just bought the 4m F2+ last month, should see end of this month. What is the widest you have milled with it? I know it comes with the 20" kit. I do have a 30& 60" Granberg. But I don't like the bent over position even with the winch on my Granberg lol.
This is a very well done video. I Told Logosol About your video and how it made me want one of these , However I do not have the funds atm. I would love to see them offer financing on their products . Any ways, Great presentation .
April, please demo their manual log lifter. Especially focus on the transportation to remote locations ( relative ) and the possibilities of one-woman operation.
Yes, please do a demo on the manual log lifter. I, too, am a one-woman operation most of the time, and am looking to mill mango wood as I give our old orchard of huge mango trees a significant pruning 🥭
Very cool april to here u are going 2 be working with logosol. I think they make great equipment. & congrads on ur new busi/wood shed. I wish the best. May see u soon. From TN. southern wood workin
Im a swede😜 were they make the logosol. Its a really good quality on them and nice support. They do live on RUclips now and then with the channel they have. Even in English
Where do you get those double log tongs (or grapple?) that you used for picking up logs with your tractor? I just found your channel today when researching Logosol F2+ reviews and am so glad to have found your awesome videos...great job! I have a single log tong that I use with my tractor which is a pain when I want to move a log and keep it steady without swinging around. With large logs that are too big for lifting with my tractor, I use a shortened up mobile-home axle to assist with carrying the weight and keeping it out of the dirt.
It's a thin kurf vs a chainsaw kurf but a little bit more waste is better than not slabbing at all because you can't get the log to a bandsaw mill. : )
April, you never cease in impressing me. You take on everything you do with a vengeance and a style that own you can provide. Thanks for sharing your dream and all of your well thought out content. Felix
I have an M8 and really loved how easy it was to cut repeatable dimensions. How do you have your log grapple attached to your bucket? I could not quite see the connection and it looked really solid. Thanks!
Tons of people do milling as a side job or even as a side hobby. If they can put to use material that would be thrown away otherwise, then it's not only saving the waste but also gives them free wood for projects. : )
Man! Decisions, decisions. I really like what I've seen of this mill, but I might have to go with the Granberg. It's sort of a portable vs. really, really portable issue. No doubt I'd rather have the log up on the supports, but some of the trees I'm after are across a drainage and up a hill even my tractor can't get to with some large diameter trees. The lengths I'm hoping to cut will be 12+ feet and above timbers which will be plenty challenging to get out of the woods. Needing to work on a slope and pretty much where the tree falls, I don't see an option other than the Granberg(?)
Great video, only big downside for me with that system is, my logs are larger than 23”. I’m looking at a fair amount in the 30” range. Which puts me back into the Granberg category.
nice that you found Swedish products! You have to test the Swedish brand Husqvarna, which makes really good chainsaws! I also recommend the Tormek brand, if you are interested in a really smooth system for sharpening knives, chisels, planer steel, etc.! keep up with your youtube movies, always fun to watch, and stay healthy! greetings from Sweden!

This looks awesome! My husband and I are currently mill shopping, this one looks like a great option! BTW that log you started with, is fantastic!
thank you for the complete review. I am looking for a solution to mil branches, would this work or it is too big (Kiawe trees) for that scenario?

how does one lift the logs while out at the site. were most places getting a tractor is impossible?
Logosol have a system for manually lift the logs up

😮
My father can't see it, or he's going to want one!!! Actually, I already want one, so... 😬
Great review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Can it saw other boards like 2x4 or just slabs
Thx for the run-thru. I had looked at these a year or so ago. Love the technology and craftsmanship. At the time I do t think they had the slabber. I don’t see the advantage of needing lifting all logs up on this model. It seems like it also would limit the size and shape that would fit comfortably up on this machine.

Thank you very much!
This looks great iam in the market for my first mill and this looks ideal and affordable plus I see I can get them in england👍great advert.
Nice piece of equipment. Logosol is Texan for log o saw too!
Does the lift system come with clicks per centimetre, or is it only in empirical?
There’s a guy on the show “Mountain Men” (Marty) that is a trapper. He flies to his trapping grounds in Alaska and stays in log cabins all winter when trapping.

Awesome stuff April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ... Seems like a really great mill!
were you using a normal chain or a ripping chain in the mesquite?
Sweet! Nice simple, stable design.
Wish there was a way to get logs on it without having to use a tractor. Id take it to location where I cut but would be able to lift logs on the table. It would be nice if the lift system went all the way down to allow ground loading
I would imagine that one of the benefits of milling logs, is the smell of fresh saw dust! =)
As someone who does it, dust is not a benefit.
@@BWreSlippySlope pretty sure the operative word there was smell, not sawdust.
A new product line April's mesquite grill sprinkles
The portability is super sweet, going to have to check this out indeed

what size chain saw are you using? it looked like a Stihl, thanks for the demo
This is a very well done video. I Told Logosol About your video and how it made me want one of these , However I do not have the funds atm. I would love to see them offer financing on their products . Any ways, Great presentation .

Very cool april to here u are going 2 be working with logosol. I think they make great equipment. & congrads on ur new busi/wood shed. I wish the best. May see u soon. From TN. southern wood workin
Thanks 👍
Hi April really good review
How long do the slabs dry for?
Im a swede😜 were they make the logosol. Its a really good quality on them and nice support. They do live on RUclips now and then with the channel they have. Even in English
Will you be getting into planing, molding; becoming a sawmill???
This is good system and very well thought out. How much is this system. And did you have to pay for it.
If you click on the link I'll bet it will tell you there how much.
Where do you get those double log tongs (or grapple?) that you used for picking up logs with your tractor? I just found your channel today when researching Logosol F2+ reviews and am so glad to have found your awesome videos...great job!
I have a single log tong that I use with my tractor which is a pain when I want to move a log and keep it steady without swinging around. With large logs that are too big for lifting with my tractor, I use a shortened up mobile-home axle to assist with carrying the weight and keeping it out of the dirt.
Pretty cool! How much more waste is generated on the bigger chainsaw blade vs the bandsaw?
It's a thin kurf vs a chainsaw kurf but a little bit more waste is better than not slabbing at all because you can't get the log to a bandsaw mill. : )
Hi can you please tell me the width of the carriage and its weight limit for a log?
April, you never cease in impressing me. You take on everything you do with a vengeance and a style that own you can provide.
Thanks for sharing your dream and all of your well thought out content. Felix
Aw, well thank you Felix. I'm glad you enjoy my style. : )
I have an M8 and really loved how easy it was to cut repeatable dimensions.
How do you have your log grapple attached to your bucket? I could not quite see the connection and it looked really solid. Thanks!
Hola April felicidades por tu video esta padre sobre todo las herramientas que usaste
Such an awesome portable saw. Who new you could have a side job going to the site to mill logs.
Tons of people do milling as a side job or even as a side hobby. If they can put to use material that would be thrown away otherwise, then it's not only saving the waste but also gives them free wood for projects. : )
Thanx 4 using metric-system for the fist time in your videos. Makes it more understandable for the rest of the world! 😉
Man! Decisions, decisions. I really like what I've seen of this mill, but I might have to go with the Granberg. It's sort of a portable vs. really, really portable issue. No doubt I'd rather have the log up on the supports, but some of the trees I'm after are across a drainage and up a hill even my tractor can't get to with some large diameter trees. The lengths I'm hoping to cut will be 12+ feet and above timbers which will be plenty challenging to get out of the woods. Needing to work on a slope and pretty much where the tree falls, I don't see an option other than the Granberg(?)
I don't know whats prettier, the slab you cut or your giddiness in the video...:) either way, thank you and keep it up. Great job!
I may not have seen it in the comments.....but I'm sure you need a ripping chain for the saw?....Please clarify.
Very cool April!!!
Love the new Logosol. Another excellent tool for your growing toolbox!
Hi April. What Stihl chainsaw are you using with the Logosol mill in this video? 😊
Great video, only big downside for me with that system is, my logs are larger than 23”. I’m looking at a fair amount in the 30” range. Which puts me back into the Granberg category.
Logosol for smaller logs, granberg for bigger.
With larger logs I care less about the PITA that is first cut setup.
nice that you found Swedish products!
You have to test the Swedish brand Husqvarna, which makes really good chainsaws!
I also recommend the Tormek brand, if you are interested in a really smooth system for sharpening knives, chisels, planer steel, etc.!
keep up with your youtube movies, always fun to watch, and stay healthy!
greetings from Sweden!
I actually love all three brands. Sweden has a very great standard for products.
