Hi Richard. I don't know who is happier, you or me, but I'm guessing it's you. I am sitting here watching and wishing it was me setting up my sawmill. lol. Seriously, I am so happy for you to get this mill. I am so excited to see you cut your first log with it. If I were a younger man I would be looking for a piece of mountain land and be doing the same thing you are doing. You are a blessed man for sure. Thank you for another video. See you buddy.

Wow, thank you. We are really excited about being able to do a lot more with this new sawmill. It’s very exciting when you upgrade to something you didn’t have. We’re looking forward to being able to mill the first log.

I’ll tell you what I’m about as happy as a pig and slop. It’s nice to be able to upgrade and have a lot of functions that are automatic. I would hate to go to auto ready to where I just sit back and watch the mill run on its own. I don’t think anybody wants to watch that. It’s got to be exciting and have some labor involved somewhere I think to make a good video. Anyway, yes, we’re really excited and look forward to putting the first log on the Mill and seeing what kind of lumber it it’ll turn out.

Love what you're doing . A little suggestion - I'd build an overhead hoist or crane mechanism for the larger more unruly log where you need a little help. Your timber frame should handle it. It might come in handier than extensions for your tractor's forks...
@SmokyMountainOutpostАй бұрын
We’ve been thinking about something like that, but I would want to redesign something that would be able to support any weight without me having to pull on that front major beam. But I have been thinking along those lines. Thank you for the comment and hope you have a great week.

I've seen 8 or 10inch I beam over the mill with a remote hoist, that would move the length of the mill to roll the larger logs. A chain hoist. The grapple on the Tractor will help as well. My first Mill was an Lt15. I mill some large pine. I use the boom pole and a log chain to roll. I now run an Lt40SHD.

You should have a pipe that just well fit over the adjustable wrench at the end and you can hold attention and you should have a big box fan unless you have electric to that place and you can have blowing on you or hook one up on the top to have it blown on you just a thought. Sorry about should it’s just a thought. That’s how I hold tension when I have to use a ratchet and an open wrench box to tighten up bolts.

Hello Richard The base looks great but I have a question for you those black bars you put the two rollers on it looks like to me you may have put them on wrong to me but remember you’ve done it longer then me the two black bars would be on the back to catch the logs 🪵 from going over to the wall they look like log stops to stop logs from rolling over the mill and the log dogs should be on the out side ok remember you’ve done it longer then Me ok i admit I could be wrong 😢 but I like watching all your videos and I want you safe to have a great week.
