Lol, I am loving the wide mill setup. I dont like chainsaw milling very much. Good to see you guys are hanging in there. Always great to hear from you.
LOL! Im loving this mill for sure. I have lots of videos I recorded using it and cant wait to get them uploaded. Its been a lot of fun. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for stopping in and following along!
I recently made a new vanity for our bathroom out of our Birch and White Pine. The two contrasting woods combined look a lot like Hickory to me. Turned out nice. Congrats on the new mill.
Hi Ray! Thanks for watching. Birch sure ia a pretty wood. I sure am loving this new mill. I really love hickory too. I wish we had more of it here. Thank you and hope to see you on the next one! 👍
Awesome looking Lumber it looks like the mail is working out very good for you thanks for all the hard work you put into the videos looking forward to seeing more
Thanks Floyd! It's working out great. Been very happy with it and learning a lot. I have been recording a lot and have lots of video to edit. Lots more coming. Thanks for watching and being a part of the journey!
That is some nice wood, congratulations on the new mill. That skid steer does make a difference! I remember some of the contraptions you used back in the day loading logs, lol. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💜💙💚🇺🇸
Lol. You sure have seen what I started with. I am grateful that you have been with us through this journey. We sure have come a long way. I am loving this mill and i don't think I could live without the skid steer. Its been a great machine. Thanks my friend and we will see you on the next one. Take care 👍💚🇺🇲
The idea behind sawing some of the smaller hardwood logs into lumber instead of slabbing makes more money than firewood. Can't wait so see what product balance you do once your store and business really gets cranking.
Gee, after so many positive vibes and reviews from you about how exceptionally good the Woodland Mill was, I am having trouble not being in shock that you up and sold it off!! Of course, Woodmizer is definitely highly recommended in milling circles.
I liked my Woodland Mills, but needed to be able to mill wider logs and more power, so this was a better fit. I actually asked Woodland Mills if they planned on coming out with a bigger mill, but they are not. Its a good mill, but we outgrew it.
@@practicallyIndependent I'm easing up on the same problem. Several people have requested 24" slabs for countertops lately...and the HM130 cuts 23" max, at least my model does. I believe the new ones go 30". I love my little green machine, but it's getting to be upgrade time. Been eyeballing this exact setup. Glad to see you enjoying it!
Thanks for all the videos, nice to see the mills in action. You should do the lt15 vs. hm130 video you mentioned, I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts. You’ve got so much video of the hm130, even though you sold, I’m sure you could patch in relevant clips of it. Looks like you’re really busy! Just wanted to “upvote” the comparison video idea. It’s easy to compare the specs but nicer to hear from someone who’s put a bunch of hours on them.
Congrats on the new mill! Too bad they're so hard to move and level - my arborists are coming in a few weeks to knock down 7 trees for me. Ash, cherry, & maple. They're leaving it in 12' chunks for me so I can use my chainsaw mills
If I didnt have so much work at the moment I would bring my mill over. Its not terrible work to move and level it. I havent even registered my sawmill since I dont plan on taking it anywhere. If you had a way to bring the logs here I could mill them for you 😀. Chainsaw milling is a lot of work.
@@practicallyIndependent no worries! I'll be making timbers anyways - not plank - so it won't be too bad with the chain saw. but you're right it is SO slow!!!! especially making 1" plank
Awesome mill, beautiful birch! I'm torn between the 15 wide and the 40 with hydraulics. I was thinking 275 gal tote with soapy water and hose connection ( like they use for 55 gal drum) on top of existing tank so you don't have to take it down every time, just pump it full, disconnect hose and your done! Stay safe, God bless
New mill is looking great! Seems like a more convenient lubricant tank is in order, or maybe just a fill plug on top so you don’t have to completely take it down every time. 🤔
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Would be nice to have a more convenient way to refill for sure. I thought about getting one of those 275 gallon totes and keeping it full of water. If you have any ideas I am always open to suggestions. Thanks man!
I've heard they have a long backlog and are trying to hire more people for manufacturing. Between now and then this is a good time to prep the site for the sawmill and collect logs. You will love this mill!
Would be nice if the blade lube tank was a bit more convenient to reach. A small rainwater catchment system to always have water by the sawmill would make life a little easier?
Why did you switch from woodlandmills? I am trying to decide what mill to buy. I am comparing the hm130max to the lt15. The lt 15 looks great but is approximately 5000 more. Any thoughts to help in my decision?
The two main factors that lead to this upgrade was that I can cut wider logs and slabs and the tracks are built much better. Welded square tube as opposed to thin angle bolted together. Definitely worth the upgrade if you will use it a lot and have wide logs. The Woodland mills was nice, but this mill have been a nice upgrade
@@practicallyIndependent Thanks for your help! I really like both mills. It will be just a small hobby so I would like to say the woodlandmills would be ok but on the other hand your woodmizer is a really nice mill!
Once you’ve milled, dried and kilned the boards, who buys that or do you use it for your own personal use? I’m just curious because I live in the south and there are a lot of small mill operations. I’ve just never heard of what people do with that finished lumber they show having.
We have a full business we sell hardwood lumber and slabs as well as do custom woodworking. We also sell firewood. We try to make use of all of the material we produce, even the sawdust.
I'm pretty certain your pretty happy with your beautiful mill, I'm curious if you wished you bought the auto feed / automation. ? P.s. my friend has the woodland mills and absolutely loves it. I'm also falling in love with his mill, and price point.
I did eventually get the auto feed and am using it. I do like it more than I thought I would. It allows me to stand back and watch the cuts, get stickers, clean, and keep my face away from dust and exhaust.
I use regular Dawn classic dish soap. The bottle im currently using is more concentrated than the regular stuff since it is all they had when I went to the store. I had several questions in the comments lately. I'm thinking I may do a Q&A video soon. Thanks for being here Renegade. Always good to see you.
I dont understand why others Sawyers don't mill this stuff. The ones I know mostly just mill straight dimensional wood. I pretty the funky stuff. Its more interesting to me.
How big of a log will it handle? It doesn't look like it is self loading so if you go remote, trailer package, you are still going to have to bring the loader with you right? Seems like a major pain. If you were sold because of the trailer package, why wouldn't you get a self loader? I suppose at a remote site you would still probably find a loader comes in handy but they are limited in how big a log they can pick up. I'm thinking timber frame beams 16-22' long. I ask because I currently use a chainsaw mill. It is slow and crude in perfection of rough cutting but it can handle pretty much any size you want.
This mill will handle a log 36 inches in diameter and 17ft long. You can get rail extension as well. I also have a chainsaw mill, but its so much more work and the wood comes out very rough. The biggest reason the mill trailer was a selling point for me it that we have 7 acres here and I will be working on developing it over time and will need to move the mill around constantly, so I really need it on wheels I have no intention on taking it off of.my property and milling other people's logs. I hope that makes sense. I really appreciate you watching and hope to see you next time. Take care! 👍
@@haydensievers5099 I liked the power of the LT15 as well as the power feed. The HM130 MAX was half the price and was able to get it within 6 weeks. The Woodmizer was more expensive and I would have waited a year to get it.
Check out Josaljo Won’s channel. He’s got some pretty crafty additions to his LT15 that make using that mill helpful. He’s fabricated new tips for his dogs so they don’t keep falling off every time you release the dogs from the log. Made his own lap siding jig and he’s also fabricated toe boards out of camper jacks that he sells. They’re longer videos but some are worth checking out for ideas to improve your mill. Nice video Mike!
I follow Joe as well. I love his videos. I've seen those additions and considered buying them from him. I just need some more time to see if I can justify the cost. Thanks Hugh for being part of our journey. It great having you here. My dads name was Hugh. He passed too early just a few years ago. Its always great seeing your name here. 👍
I know I am a dork, I am watching this video again, (Yes I watched the commercials.) Pine Tree Sap and lubricant... Have you ever used diesel.? When I was still looking and not committed on a mill yet, the folks over at Clark saw mill suggest using diesel as the best lubricant to lube the blade while cutting pine and it cuts the sap and reduces the junk from pine milling. I was wanting to ask you if you have ever used it and or seen what I am talking about. Mainly asking, because the place we just got in East Texas we are moving from Oklahoma to live there, I have had to remove 2 really large, (large for me pines) and I have one or two more that will have to go before I build my wood shop. So I wanted to ask my buddy if he has ever tried it or heard of it being a good solution for milling pine. Im clear on the dawn and water, I get it, if dawn will clean a baby duck from an oil spill I am good with that being safe for use as well. My mill has no trailer from the factory, nor will it have the electric powered advancement, i have the manual hadn't crank, I will try that for a while and upgrade if I think I need it down the road, trying to keep initial cost down on my first mill. Im so dang excited my brother I hope I am not bugging you with all this watching and competing. You know of all people, I have been planning on this for several years now, and it is finally coming closer. I am making a run to Texas on monday, if you have time, will you give me a measurement between the rails, I am gong to try to get the base build and leveled, so when I come back form Texas, I will make a run to Missouri, pick my mill up and then make a run back to east texas, and Put it together, so hopefully we are less than three weeks out on the new mill. I am so so excited, and I cant think you enough my friend, thanks for always being so kind to us. Dale
Sorry for the delayed reply. I will measure the distance between bunks. I know it varies from one to the other. I use Dawn and water and it works well. I also use windshield washer fluid in winter to prevent freezing. Both do well in keeping the blades fairly clean. I've never tried diesel as it would in tease operation costs.

New subscriber. Just wondering what the price you paid for the "wide" set up like yours. I'm in the market for a mill and leaning toward WoodMizer if for no other reason it would maintain it's resale value better than the competition. Thanks.
I’m just glad it’s available lmao I was worried it wasn’t since I’ll be hauling it to my property to mill for a cabin. Thanks for the fast response! New subscriber here I’m gonna binge watch some of your stuff tonight. Do you find that the engine is enough in the bigger stuff you cut?
I had considered getting the diesel, but glad I didn't. I have milled 30+" wide rock maple without issues. The one issue i had was the drive belt was not tight enough, but that was my fault. You definitely want to check the drive belt tension after the first 20 hours or so, then again at 50, then every 50 hours after that. I also recommend installing an hour meter. I did that with mine and it really helps me keep.on track with maintenance.
Why are you cooking would have there is easier to load in out understand the process of why you wouldn't you saw mill far away from when you're cutting to keep the noise down for the kids I mean it doesn't look good lets a very good environment to work at it when it rains
The mill is about 300 feet from my house. We purchased the property next to ours for the purpose of putting our machines here. The sawmill and skids steer make a huge mess of the ground, so its a bad idea having it near the house. We plan on doing some nice landscaping and cannot have these thing near the house. Also, the wood.boring bugs is not something I want near the house either. Thanks for watching.
@@practicallyIndependent Make sense so you get a set up a business area than a basically are storing area and you get up and fight you get a deer all your property all over again and gonna make a business work tough tough stuff
@@practicallyIndependent i wont say 1 is wrong or right, i guess depends on how you were raised, and the deeper pockets a guy may have..... i know people like you that runs like light switches. in the end everything gets super beat up, and replace alot of things, wheres we grew up, give her just enough onion to do the job at hand, and vary the throttle accordingly, can go hard when needed, and can fine tune finesse when needed.... saves alot of hard banging beating things up, engines all seem to run the same life, and hydraulic pumps seem to blow less when not conastantly under full load dead headed in theother non used valves... not saying either is right... just saying, think a little, use your own judgement after thinking it through :-)
