Haha, I'm 66 and female, live in a subdivision outside of Detroit. You KNOW I'll never need a sawmill but watched it too. 👍

LOL Thanks DL I appreciate it.

Thanks Ivar

I'm not even sure how / why this video popped up in my timeline, but hey, I watched all the episodes of BIG TIMBER on Netflix and I live in nyc. So, I watched this too. Big difference between the this video and that show. I liked them both.

Is this what it means to get old? 🙁

Wow, now I would love to see that video!

right on!

That's great to hear I would love to have a cabin.

Hello what would be the max length ? Im thinking about the floor joists and if it would handle this ? Thank you

What a great story Shantilly, I hope you guys really enjoy your new cabin.

Thanks

Thanks

That’s awesome $8k for 3 acres and resourceful! Good luck with your journey! Me and my GF plan to buy some land and build a house. This is an interesting way of doing it.

Do not hire water works pressure washing . South Carolina. None of the employees could pass a drug screening if their moms life depended on it. The owner is as much a junkie as the people he employs. For residential after driveways are surfaced clean. They spray straight on the residential driveways and side walks. But for community contracts like the one for Sun City. They just surface clean. And not spray the sidewalks with “bleach, straight” after it’s surface cleaned. So it dirties sooner and they can pull more money out the contact for it. Sooner because they didn’t do it correctly or the same process at driveways and sidewalks for residential. SCAM. COMPANY. Water works pressure washing

Wouldn't happen to be in Niota TN near Mcminn county would it?

Boat trailer great idea Rick,,👍

and remember a 6 x 6 is really 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 lol BTW: did you leave the boat winch on to drag the logs onto the bed?

That is cool.

@@muskokamike127 MM, 6x6 refers to it's dimension when first cut, not after it has been cured (either in a kiln, or sitting under the stars)...same thing with 2x4's etc...DURP...

This story made me lol 😂

He'll never run out of wood with 60 acres!!

I have the same woodland mills unit and I love it. I've used it for years sawing beetle killed pine in Colorado and have recently moved to Missouri where I'm looking for some land with mature hardwood timber and it will be used again as soon as I can find a place and get it set up. The Woodland Mills guys have been great with customer service.

right on

I believe WoodLand Mills gets credit for the original design of the HF sawmill (about 2009?). They have done numerous improvements since then, tho the bed is about the same. I susect the HF supplier in China was either an early factory working for WM, or just copied the design of the earliest HM122 model. Does anyone know more? I had the HF sawmill for 3 years, an earlier 2013 model with the 280cc engine. I did several modifications, including bearing changes and welding up the bed. I recently bought the WoodMizer LX25 and modified it. It is more like $3500 and several months wait. If you can get the HM122 (about $2500), I think that is a good way to go since HF shows "unavailable".

Thanks, I appreciate that

I didn't ever see him on Alone... But I agree!

I've found NAPA and other parts houses great sources for bearings. If they didn't have it on hand, they could get it quick!

@@lonnieporter8566 cool, i too have sourced bearings at a bearing supply co. in belleville,n.j.for automotive use...cut out the middle man i always say

They ain't been out that long i thought

@@Hugeroost They have been out for over a decade. Mine was delivered April 12, 2015. And I first used it spring of 2016. (Took a year to finish building the house) It sits in the same spot today and just used it yesterday to mill some Beech.

@@lipinskirl cool man thats good to know

Weekly? Are you a carpenter? What do you do with all that lumber? Also, do you dry your wood? Just curious.

@Hello Roberto how are you doing?

Well maybe now you can set yours up in less than a year since you have the proper setup info.

I was gonna write the same thing! It's hot in the summer & freezing in winter. However EVERYONE wants to play with the new toy... So I felt his pain.... He does great work though explaining everything! I'm so glad he talked about the belts and the throttle cable! If I do happen across one, I'll know what to do!

Having bought a few large machines, I feel like that’s about right with most machines. Lol.

Actually it took me about 8 hours to get the trailer ready, installed it on a modified Coleman pop up camper frame built into a flat bed trailer. Then it took me about 6 hours to assemble the saw and get things aligned, would have taken much less time if I had help but you make due with what you have. Actually the trailer prep was the hard part, coming up with a good system to level it out was the hard part. Suggest if you build it up on a trailer don't absolutely level it out, keep it at the edge of the bubble to the start end, that way the saw frame will always want to go to home. Also make absolutely that you stay behind the pass line of the blade and don't build in a trip hazard. Sorry the blade guard won't stop a broken blade from exiting in a dramatic manner. If you stay behind the frame you simply get the opportunity to see how far the blade went before stopping, if not staying out of the pass line have 911 on speed dial.

The magic of video cameras !

Thumbs down is because actual people who are here to see a review, weren't prepared to spend a chunk of their lives watching Zed and his cousin cooking random snacks. It's a video, on a sawmill. If you're cool with 5 minutes of info jammed in to 15 minute segments, you're part of the problem

@@brianb4965 Dude if you call a chunk of your life 20 seconds you and those other people may want stick with TikToc or something. Their videos may be more suitable to you all attention span.

@@frnkjones40 dont get mad unless your his woman. I stated fact. You blabbering about my intelligence is clearly indicative of yours. It's a review. I understand most on here know zero, and have no desire to even buy products being reviewed, but want to be entertained. I'm here looking for direct information, not someone trying to start a mini-series. 5 minutes of information packed in to 15 minutes of b.s. It's working, so in this new world of people who have no lives, I get it. A lot of people turned to the computer like kids to Saturday morning cartoons, so they like not living their own lives, but vicariously through others. He knows this. That's fine if you like 15 minutes worth of fodder. Let's just not get confused and consider this a review. I had to read comments to find any actual knowledge. Sad reality we now live in, and here's you, defending it, and dumb enough to state I should go to tik tok to be entertained. Little backwards you are

Hey Brian. What exactly do you want to know? You could have asked 20 questions in the time it took to comment to these comments. Also, its not a review, Its, "set up & first impressions".

@@Bushradical the questions I had were answered in the comment section. I'm guessing I stumbled on a channel where people with enormous amounts of time follow along on your life's adventures. The heading appeared to be a review, so my mistake. Nothing against people forming groups to watch it, and if you get paid somehow, kudos to you. I do not have enormous amounts of time to waste on videos. I'm in it for information. In and out. 10 minutes or less. Don't want to know about the person filming. Today's world, it's like groupies watching someone's life, noted by the I have no intentions of ever buying one but I watched the entire video. Hats off to you. Sorry to critique what I thought was an informative review coming in to it. Carry on group, I'll back on out of this room

Thanks

@@Bushradical your welcome.. keep sharing your knowledge you really do help others learn and refresh their memory. Thank you for all you do, it is much appriciated.

Thanks

Oh, they were killer too! Thanks

I'd point out that bearings are no problem. Any decent industrial supplier can provide that sort of thing... and at a significant reduction. When I used to do my own m/cycle maintenance I'd get really pissed off at the cost of bearings. So one day I jotted down the numbers on the bearing shell and dropped in on my local industrial supplier. Instead of the

It’s never too late 🙂

I’m not sure what you mean by bleeps and bloops but a college degree allows me to buy toys like this if I want them. My friend bought a couple acres so he could buy a tractor.

I feel that, but at the same you and I have the rest of our lives ahead of us. Stack away as much money as you can, buy a piece of land and start learning. Sure it would be cool to have in your 20s (or however old you are), but I would rather get this kind of lifestyle going in my 50's than never!

What everyone else said! No regrets, my friend - tie in your day job skill set with your desire to learn things like this. The fact that you even want to go outside your educational/employment background sets you apart from a huge percentage of the population who couldn't be bothered.

Thanks

Thanks

@Hello C Davis how are you doing?

Thanks

Right on. Thanks

I replaced a number of motors with Harbor freight Predators. Gas compressor, rototiller, log splitter, brush trimmer and here soon going to replace a honda trash pump motor. Predators are great because they are low cost and the majority of things that you or one might put it on it will not get enough hours on it to do any damage. You will have to run that motor non stop every day for a solid year to put any wear on it. Watch Project Farm and one of his videos where he tells you the best type of oil to use. The better oil you use will keep the engine running for a long long time.

@@kameljoe21 William, what kind did he say

@@Hugeroost I can not recall. Just KZfaq Project Farm and type oil in his search sections for videos.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks Dennis

right on. Ive heard they are pretty solid too.

Haven't had any big issues with the predator pressure washers from HF either

Thanks Steven

Thanks 👍

They must have improved their manufacturing process, my tracks were near perfect, I poured a concrete slab and used concrete anchors with washers to shim the height and I can cut a 1/16 inch thick piece of parchment 15 ft long. I am very happy with my mill, for the price. I'm sure there are better mills, but for the money this does everything I need it to do.

the issue is its the wrong belt He tried to use a b75 which is 78 inches long outside measurement. This sawmill takes a #b1981 which is a 78" long belt inside measurement

right on.

Dude I was just about to seriously do that

I checked harbor frt website, sawmill not availible

@@deville1955 same here!

@@deville1955 it showed in stock for me but have to order it to store

@@cab3910 Just another example of how totally clueless HF is at customer service-MY HF store says they can't order one for me, I must order online and then they cancel the order due to stock unavailability...

I've seen fellows build their mill on a 2 wheel trailer and take the mill to the timber. When they get to the timber take the 2 wheels off and set it right on the ground! Some of them had a leveling jack on each corner and one on each side in the middle!

Thanks

Somewhere in there is a joke about DOGWOOD trees. I am feeling slow today.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I would take the woodmizer too, but I couldn't pass this one up.

That's a great deal Dave ! Hard to pass that up for sure . Why spend 6k plus when you can get this one for 1/3 the price . Thanks again Dave for this video . Timing is perfect as I'm looking for one now .

Very nice 👌 lumber jacker Dave , I would have loved to pick one of those up !! Sweet price

so true Duck....not only that but I dont see lumber moving. Nobody I know would buy a $10 2x4 unless they were forced too.

Thanks HD
