- November the 3rd, 2019. I have made some improvements to the sawmill and log turner from a previous video. Still a working progress, getting better, check out log clamp ideal much faster and great holding power!
Thanks for sharing. I love it ! I have
Access to massive logs, and this invevention will definitely
Save my back !
I like my Woodmizer clamps but, that's the best clamp mod I've seen in a while. I use a farm jack to turn the big ones but, that is a good one too.

And nice idea on the log hold down.
A couple of things in return. Put a second log (in your case lock down) on the other end to keep the log much more steady.
Inside the gantry, on the wheels to keep sawdust off the rubber on said wheels, put 2 small brushed weld 2 (per brush) pcs. Of metal at 90° w/2 holes drilled to put the brush on the the gantry.
To keep your water or diesel dripping on your saw blade better, use a sparkplug boot... Enjoy your weekend.
Love it! Super simple and effective. Genius. Thank you for sharing.
Dang it i think to hard to do it this easy way...Great job!
Fantastic. Love the idea. Making my own immediately. Thx for sharing.
I'd be interested in more information on your log clamp. Looks like an 11" swivel pad C-clamp locking pliers (as in the HF description). Thanks Nate!
Sorry for the late response! I use 8" c- clamp vise grips from harbor freight too, I just cut one side off and welded it to the post. Thanks for the interest!
Nathan do a video on your cant hook. Or just tell me. I haven't been able to use my log mill, same problem back issues. An I hate not using it.
How much are you charging for your invention? I am getting the mill myself and this would be great to have.
Thanks for the interest, i have built a couple test unit and the one in this video works the best, if your handy with a welder you can made what i have here for less than $40 and will be a multi tool as well, check out my other video! (i dont have any for sale at this time)
I'm doing 30 inch red oak by the time I turn it im too tired to cut anymore that is a really cool idea have u ever made one of those with an impact ?
Sorry for the late response! Haven't tried it with an impact though the drill works great especially having dual range to increase tq. Or speed! Thanks for the interest
Hey man that's a brilliant idea what is the weight it will do
Sorry for the late response! The turner has rotated 1500lbs red oaks logs much easier than a cant hook!
Is that a landing gear for a trailer that you’ve fashioned a can’t hook onto?
yes a harbor freight 2000lbs. jack!
Nathan Hatcher thanks
Sell those log turners n quit milling
Sorry those aren't logs, I can roll those over by hand
Rite! Thanks for sharing!
