Yeah, me too. The waiting process for that is one of the hardest things!

It's designed to be removed - takes 10 minutes to set up

about $30k for the setup we have.

that was pine for some stickers - i'm not sure what you were asking.

That's good to hear. Have you done any projects with it? I have been looking forward to this one.

What sawmill do you own bud?

My guess is that they are bark inclusions and not insect bites. I am not 100 % sure what those dark marks come from. Thanks!

Thanks,! It did have some interesting color.

Thanks I appreciate it! This was the first elm I did, so not too experience with it. But think it will make for some good tables and such. I got ya with the camera, the video with the maple I had saw dust on the lens as well. Lot of details in doing a video...

For some reason the bolt that is used to tighten the belt is maxed out and the belt is still not quite as tight as it can be. If I had a longer bolt it will tighten it more, I just need to find a longer bolt. I do not know why this is, but the bolt is as far as it will go. The maple seems to get better after the air hits it awhile. Thanks for the comment!!!

@@OzarkSawmillServices if you loosen the pulley that puts tension on the belt and reposition it you'll find that it can be made to add more tension. Play around with it until you can barely twist the belt side to side. I like the longer bolt idea too, and keep a spare belt around just in case. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. You're really piling up slabs!

@@Desert_Hobo . Thanks. I was wondering if the pulley can be repositioned and from just looking at it, I couldn't tell. I haven't acquired a longer bolt yet, so I may just try that today, because the belt does need more tension... Even with a kiln, the drying process is worst that watching the grass grow, and since we are coming into Spring, the grass will grow exceptionally faster... Patients is a hard lesson some times!! Thanks again! Blessings!!

@@OzarkSawmillServices There should have been a shim in the pulley bag of parts to put in. If not I would call Norwood and ask for it.

O wow Tom, our spare parts bag is in a little disarray from the assembling of it. However, I was able to see that the pulley system is adjustable and can get it tight that way. It would be nice to find that shim though, I think that would also help. I'll look for it. Thanks!

Hey Dave, great to hear from ya! Yeah, sooner or later I am going to need help, probably sooner. I am with you on refueling, especially when the mill wants to travel forward when I don't clamp it down. I like the EZ-out idea, going to need it on another small bolt that holds the wheel on the blade. I thought the ratchet was on loose and it was on tight, you would of thought I would of notice but didn't and cranked it down, and when I realized it, I changed it to lefty loosey but too late it snapped it clean off. Every once in a while my brain goes right when it should of gone left??? I think we made it through the weather, the sun is now shining. Thanks and Blessings Dave!!!

Well, customer services is sometimes hit or miss but they are getting better at it. I was able to send a video of my blade sharpener and the tech guys watched it and noticed I was missing a washer right away, which was our last dealings and was good. Other times you waited a bit. The assembly is challenging. The manual at the time was written during Covid so there were some kinks that has led to us having the log stops on the wrong side and I haven't had time to change it around. I get a lot of comments on you tube concerning that. It will take you some time to put this Jig saw puzzle together, especially with trailer and hydraulic package like we have. It runs good, especially for the price. We haven't had it a year yet so as for longevity, don't know, time will tell. It is not a Woodmizer Lt 40 or 70, but it is a lot cheaper than they. We have the 23 horse power motor, but I think you can get one up to 28 or so. Even though it can do up to 35 inches with a 38 inch log and that is if everything is straight and you hold your tongue right and perfect. I do not look forward to having to mill big oak logs on it. But with the right blades and sharp definately helps can be done. I believe it is worth the money, but it is considerbly cheaper than Woodmizers. I do not know about other mills. I had a woodland mills and it is a lot better and more productive than that.

Hey thanks Mike appreciate the encouragement. Have a blessed day!!

The logs bunks are unusually thin but definately are holding up to the task. No dents and I have had some heavy oak logs on it. The rails that the saw mill rides on works fine and are holding up too. Thanks for the comment.

Hey thanks!!! Good hearing from ya again. We had a good ole time with Dave, great guy!

Excellant!! Good to hear. Melbourne ain't to far away, been there once. Thanks for the comment!!!

Unfortunately we do not have that 3rd log stop hooked up to hydraulics. They accidentally sent us that one and we thought it came with the system. I think there can be a way to hook it up with a little engineering but we haven.t. I like the manual one idea and thought about putting it on. But we have to get an extension to 20 foot and will have to put the manual one on then. We even have a problem with the two stops moving at the same time. Haven't be able to get them to move with the same consistency. Any ways long message, sorry about that, but appreciate the comment and support. Many Blessings!

Yeah me too. I just grabbed that stump to see if I can get something out of it. Will need some epoxy for the rot, but that will just make them all the better, I think. Have a wonderful and blessed day!!

Sounds like the makings of another video, I bet that one would go viral. Thanks Dave, really appreciate the support. Hopefully someday we can make it your way!

@@OzarkSawmillServices You're welcome out here any time, won't be long before we'll both have more stories to swap (real or made-up).

Sounds good! Already thinking about a few stories of the log that got away!

@@OzarkSawmillServices Would love to hear that one. Maybe write a song... "I Fought the Log and the Log Won."

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Thanks Dave! Appreciate it!!! I think some good table tops can be made from those boards. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching your videos.

@@OzarkSawmillServices Thanks. You will love the results when finished with the Elm.

I tried to take it off to put the new belt on, but the allen wrench screw was stripped, so I gave up on that and realized I was able to put the belt on without taking the band wheel off. But if I have to in the future, that allen wrench screw is stripped. It is a little problem.

Thanks man, I appreciate the comment!

In Ontario Canada where I live we see Elm 6_8' across we see excellent boards also really good hot fire burning in wood stove and lasts well

Yeah, cool looking. It was from a stump of a dead cedar tree I cut down and thought even though some rot, might still look pretty good for something after milling it.

Blessings! Good to hear from you. Yes this is Eastern Red Cedar. Got another video coming today milling a nice Elm Log! May HIS Face Shine upon you!!

The instruction Manuel was not put together right which brought us to the problem you are seeing. There is a way to fix it, but I would have to dismantle it and reverse the log bunks and redo the hydraulics. I will do that in the future, but don't have the time or the energy to deal with it right now. I have done a few videos explaining this, but they are lost in the archives somewhere. It is a little frustrating and if I am going to continue to do videos I may need to address this sooner than later. Thanks for the heads up.
