- Continuing to saw away at the 10 foot, 26 inch diameter Doug fir log that we obtained at an urban logging project. Loading it onto the new ramps onto the log bunk, then getting it flipped once on the sawbed, these were challenges. Especially when I, the old man, was working alone in the hot Oregon summer. Looks like we will get 50 + 2x4s plus a number of 2x6s and 4x4s. Destined for the new "expensive" chicken shed!
Have you considered putting a power feed set up on your mill?
I have the 126 and I know how it gets trying to push through bigger logs.
Mike Festiva has a really good video about it that might give you some good ideas. Anyway good luck and happy milling
Thanks for the comment. No I haven't considered a power feed. I haven't had an issue with this yet. Sure it might take a little more effort sometimes, but hasn't been a problem. I really would like a fully hydraulic mill, but that is outside the budget (unless I was going to start milling full time and for a profit). Thanks again for your comment!
That’s a nice long kant hook. 👍🏼
We have a shorter peavey, but the longert woodmizer hook is really nice for biggert logs! Thanks for commenting. And thanks for showing videos on how you made you wide cut mill!
Thanks for showing the chain hoist, been thinking something like that might work for loading
Dave, It is a real back saver. A little slow, but makes hard work easy. Thanks for watching.
I felt just you yesterday and also today difference is I am making knives and handles. Will try to mill tomorrow. You doin a great job, PawPaw
Thanks for videos
You got this! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I call you PawPaw because we don’t know your name. And as I am 81 everybody calls me the same.
It looks like woodland mills have a log wench that will work turning logs. When I get mine I will also get wench because I don’t have tractor. I am presently rewatching some of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Paw Paw is good! Of course I think of myself as 21 years old! I know that Wm has the winch system that goes in a log stop sleeve, but I am leery of that as it might put too much torque on the sawmill bed. But many say it works for them.
Lloyd, how are you doing? Did you get your mill?
hi there did the same thing here today to find you sawing . big ones will work you a bit john
What are you sawing? I have another log same size as this one, and several more a little smaller but 16 footers. I hope to get them on the mill and get some 16 foot boards! Hey thanks for watching, and stay safe with those big logs!
I might need a few of those
2x4s? Or chain hoists?
@@a_farm_west_of_boring 2x4's, 2x6's, the mill. Probably gonna need it all
2x4s
nice job. i will try to rig up a log turner like yours. the last time i looked at lowes the 2 by 4 8 feet long were $6.64 and they were not the good ones. i have not got any lumber from lowes in over a year like you i am sawing my own much better lumber. but i still have to buy screws, nails and metal roofing and that has went way up too. take care, be safe and well.
I bot some 2x6s back in November and they weren't too bad then, but went back up later. I guess that the metal roofing has really gone through the roof (was that a pun?). Well I am going to need some, so I will call for a refinance on the house!
One 2 x6 12 feet long cost me over 20 dollars canadian
@@wilmamcdermott3065 that is really high I sawed a100 2x 6 s from 8 to 21 feet long last month. Take care, be safe and well.
How is the digital readout holding up to the vibration and the dust! Good videos 👍
It's good. I have had no problems with it. Always accurate. I just forget to turn it off sometimes and so the battery goes down. But it can be replaced! Thanks for watching.
When are you going to build the chicken house? I hope you film it!
Patience, the chickens can go a few more days before they fly the coop! Thanks for watching!
Well sweetie you got your chicken shed! And yes I did film it. Nw I am ready to build the sawmill shed!
Not picking on anyone I am 64 my wife 65 we sawed 3 cherry logs in full sun no fan same size in one day and changed a blade same saw mill I love it
That's what I like to hear! You guys keep doing the good work!
69 years old I sawed a whole tree in a couple hours by my self 24 inch green spruce turn it with a canthook!! Yes I loaded it on the mill with a tractor
@@wilmamcdermott3065 🤣 yes sir that's awesome yesterday I did smash my left hand little finger with a log definitely going to lose the finger nail.
@@mikecameron5322 yikes my main job was as a mechanic for 45 years and I farmed and ran 176 cows and calves so no stranger to loosening finger nails
@wilmamcdermott3065 You are going strong! What kind of tractor do you use?
I got 19 2x6x8 off 1 log Saturday hemlock need a total 300
Wow! How big of a log? And you need 281 more 2x6s? What are you building?
A deck 24x32 with a roof
This is my next log white pine
That's a big deck!
I just uploaded a short video of my deck process on my channel
Here in alberta a 2by6 8 foot long will cost u 20 dollars
Wilma, thanks for watching and commenting!
Dennis i use my wifes tablet
@@wilmamcdermott3065 Sorry Dennis!
No need to say sorry
Oh but I will say it anyway!!!
West of boring, oregon???
Yup. And it is anything but boring here! Thanks for watching!
@a_farm_west_of_boring thanks for responding, yeah I just left Clackamas for texas, west of boring that is like almost where I was in Beavercreek. But I like texas more, now that I have live in both
Texas sounds like a good place! Definitely better than Oregon.
Yep oregon I spent as a debtor to the state, my wife and I are both ex military and struggled to live there. Here we are free, and get to raise our children as we see fit. Or as they show us to lead them... I miss a lot of oregons beautiful landscape, but the difference is undeniable here brother.
Yes the geography and landscape are beautiful here. But too many other problems!
My mill will only do a 26 inch log
so you have a 126? 14 horse?
@@a_farm_west_of_boring I wish I HAD bought a woodland mill bought a RR5026 Rangeroad 15 .5 horse
@wilmamcdermott3065 I have never seen a range road in person. What do you like about it. What do you dislike?
@@a_farm_west_of_boring it's flimsy built but has lots of. Power 15 .5 hp engine 144 woodland blades seem about the best cuts tamarack pretty well . I am going to add some extra support metal to the mill
Sounds workable!
thats worth like 600$ here
That's a good savings then!
This log is not healthy all im saying is
Thanks for the comment. Luckily I found good use for all the milled woood!
