You got your Ducks in a row. Doing good. Bucket for saw dust good idea. I pour my saw dust in 55 gallon drum and move them to garden with tractor forks..
I'm thinking a 2 ton winch on an overhead gantry with a choker strap could save a lot of potential back injuries over having to use a cant hook to flip a large log? Obviously you'd have to have an enclosure such as this one, but as long as you mount the ends of the gantry on the upright poles it should work great. It may take a little longer, but it would save some wear and tear on your back!
The mill is normally outside so when the logs get that big we use my tractor to flip them, plus I've just invested in logrites mega hook canthook. At 78in you get some serious leverage. Thanks for watching.
Get 1 more 5 gallon bucket and hang on wall near the head and switch them while emptying one . mite save having to get much saw dust up. Great job. Thanks
TL what a job U do on those big logs I am just getting my TK1220 set up to saw oak boards for my fence around 4 acres and repair barn. I see U handle like a gorilla I can se it gonna be tough on me at 80+ years but can’t wait to get into it.
As usual your milling is very efficient. I noticed that some of your 1X3s were knocked off by the saw blade at the end. A simple fix.... drive a nail into the cant... problem solved. Seriously, I do not think that a nail is a good idea; a 1/2" lag bolt would be better. Keep up the good work.
When you get a chance please watch Charlie and Sara. He puts out a video called dirty tricks when mailing pine. At the end of the video he explains about the spindle cleaner. It keeps the gum off your blade. Hope this helps God bless stay safe 🇨🇦
First one I've seen with the mill inside... Which I haven't seen any of your videos pop up lately either and I see this ones a year old... I run a mill also are you interested in a job!! I need a truck load a them logs too just like that one...
The mill was only inside for the winter its in its own building now. I work a full time job the milling is just a side gig so videos dont happen to often but hope to get another one plup soon
@@johnspence2466 I cant say much about the electric version cause ive never seen/used one. If your gonna cut on the regular i would buy the diesel, more power and better fuel economy
WM makes a good mill for sure...but ur gonna need a lot of board ft to pay it off. Ive got a 30 yr old linn mill, cost me next to nothing and puts out smoother cuts than my buddy's lt15 wide. Not to mention in under a year he had to warranty the lift struts.
@@tlroughsawn2184 cool, and just think how much more productive it could be if set up proper....log bunk, out feed rollers and such. Set it up to where u drop logs straight from truck to bunk....less time on and off the tractor. Leave the tractor at the end of the out feed to go straight to the kiln.
@@johnspence2466 The head wobbles because its only really supported on one side like the bigger mills, it didnt effect the cutting at all they stayed true.
@@tlroughsawn2184 I’m actually ordering the same mill maybe I’m just to ocd haha looks like it cuts great! Thanks for the reply man keep stacking the wood! 👍
I like the video but where's the good, bad, and ugly. The Sawmill looks like it's functioning very well.
Best small mill operator I've ever seen . I have a business I would love to hire him in a heartbeat At the best possible rate I could pay him
Thank you i apprciate that very much!
Man this guy really knows what he's doing. He gets right to it.👍
Thank you much appreciated!
@@tlroughsawn2184 p
That's some serious cutting, very nice looking boards!
Dude is jam'n on some log! Git it ol' son!
Nice work! Smooth operation and good thinking ahead here!!
Thank you!
It’s a pain to watch some of these guys that do videos
But it’s a real pleasure to watch you work…you have your 💩 together 😁
Thank you i try to show what its all about and not sugar coat it. Milling is a tough job but its also fun.
That is smart thinking the bucket under the sawdust shoot. I like it.
Quick and efficient. 👍🏼
Thank you!
Best solo sawmill artist on TH-cam! Keep up the great work!
Thanks bud!

Very efficient! Like your setup. The only thing you need is your TH-cam channel sign
Thank you its been a long road to get to this point.

My mill is no longer in my garage but if it ever ends up back in there ill be sure to try it, its a good idea. Thanks!
Thx for sharing. God bless
Putting in some real work here 💪
Thank you! Its tough work but well worth it.

Thank you! Its tough work and i enjoy it because the finished product is well worth it. Invest in some good cant hooks to help make it easier.

Thanks! I'll have to try that next time!
@@tlroughsawn2184 If you do, don't say you heard it from me.
@@TheOldManAndTheSaw Ive hit plenty of hidden steel I dont want to inflict it on myself though
@@tlroughsawn2184 Like your work. Keep it up.
@@TheOldManAndTheSaw Thank you much appreciated
god work
Great video. Have you ever used a green line laser module as an alignment tool ?
Thanks. No sir I just use what came from the factory nothing fancy here.

@@tlroughsawn2184 I'm with ya... Work full time also and just mill on the side.... We love the videos so keep em comin'
Can you give a review if you still have this machine would you recommend the gas, diesel or electric version
@@johnspence2466 I cant say much about the electric version cause ive never seen/used one. If your gonna cut on the regular i would buy the diesel, more power and better fuel economy
You should set your sawmill the other way aroung you would only have to go on the other side to turn the log
That was only temporary for the winter it's back outside now.

My mill has paid for itself a few times over it all depends on how you use it.

@@thesprucemill6632 the setup is getting there just takes time. Kiln, log deck,etc are in the works.
Is it normal for the cutter head to shake like that may be me but that doesn't inspire 16k worth of quality
@@johnspence2466 The head wobbles because its only really supported on one side like the bigger mills, it didnt effect the cutting at all they stayed true.
Upon coming too far end of log when raising saw ,why does saw wobble so much ?
Because its only supported on one side and from cranking it up fast
@@tlroughsawn2184 KOk KO
Don’t like all that head wobble! Does is still cut true?
I get asked that a lot, yes it actually cuts very true lumber.
@@tlroughsawn2184 I’m actually ordering the same mill maybe I’m just to ocd haha looks like it cuts great! Thanks for the reply man keep stacking the wood! 👍
👏👍
How deep of a beam can you cut? i.e. blade to head. I would like to cut 6x6 beams.
You can cut a 10" beam but you have to put a spacer between the cant and the stops on the bed because of the angled head design.
He cut the full can't first. That's what I'd do
How much?
No commentary as to what you mean by good bad and ugly
Nope no commentary just sawing lumber.
What do you do with your sawdust?
Give it to my local farmer for compost or bedding.
Near 300 bf ?
I dont remember the total bf but it was up there
What engine is that?
Kolher 17hp diesel
