Vice grip for a stop

Turn the head around on the track then be going right direction and saw dust won’t be going on logs top is on backwards

What is the green "H" painted on the end of the logs?

Add a little Dawn Dish Soap to the washer fluid.

Overkill and beautiful all in one. Dandy job. Tks for sharing.

I set my mill up to be slightly up hill, no stops needed

What did you use for the gravel? I like the way it looks when it is tamped down. Is it recycled asphalt? or is it just black road base? I heard you call it recycled crushed gravel but I can't find anything that looks like that here in Northern California.

Nice job.

I have an HM130 and built a wood support frame for it on short 4"x4" leg and wood beams below the sawmill rails. That places my mill at a nice operating height. I placed boards that rest below the sawmill track and rest ontop of the wood frame. Makes it very easy to clean with my battery powered blower. You may want to consider that approach otherwise you will be shoveling sawdust by hand from between the framework you have built. I also predict you will install short legs below your beams to raise your mill to a more comfortable milling hieght.

How deep will the basement be?

Surely you must have some sort of snatch block or come-a-long, no?

I have been going back and forth on what to do for my little mill, you gave me some great ideas here. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share it!

My back is hurting watching. Looks great

Very good build. I think I will tag along.

You have the head on backwards

Great job

Thx for sharing

Big fan of salvaging anything you can. This is beautiful. I'm in the process of setting up my mill and woodyard. I've enjoyed seeing your setup and process.

Thanks for that! I'm right behind you...have mill still too much snow to set up...but soon. Thanks for the pointers...we are all learners.

what mean H mark on the wood? Mark that it is legal wood?

we also started late autumn and already have foundation. Hope to get AAC blocks for walls next week (it is too much mud on the site now after hard rains)

Interesting video and you! Thanks for sharing!

Nice video! I always love the music as well, I know you are busy but I just hope you will make more videos. Thanks.

Tooo low

Ash lumber was used by the native Inuit in Northern Canada and the native Indians to make their traditional snow shoes and dog sleds.. If you mill the lumber with the grain so that there is no cross grain the lumber can be steamed and bent without splitting

Dead ash trees if left standing will on general last a couple of years without decaying.. They might get some dark staining but would still be serviceable for flooring or furniture..

get some chainsaw pants!

3:01 so close to 1 foot toad creations. ! nice life, awesome mill Cool editing too.

Dead ash trees in the Great Lakes region of Canada and the U.S..are about as proliferous as dandelions..Thank you to China for this ugly beetle... I have one hundred acres of hardwood with 40% dead or dying ash trees. Beautiful wood which is or will be as cheap asdirt..

Rather serendipitous, the fallen ash being so close to the mill. You really had little choice but to cut into it and see what was inside. It'll be a treasured piece of lumber for your future projects. Thanks for sharing.

Right on buddy good save. Ash is awesome lumber

Between you and me, not I.

G’day, I haven’t seen tongs like that since my childhood. An old bullock driver used them to sing logs out of the bush. An idea you could use would be do as that old guy did; use a round piece of steel with a hole on one edge so you can add a bow shackle. Then use a steel loop around the tongs so the disc can jangle freely when attached with a shackle. That disc stops the log digging in and I watched him work with that for several days and it helped. Worth a try to see if it can make log snagging easier. An idea I have as I used it myself when I lived in the bush, if you can get an old ploughing disc you could use that as it has a dished face for the log end to rest in. I hope the general idea is explained well enough. Nice looking timber, you know it will be reasonably stable after standing and drying. It will make a beautiful mantle.

Beautiful boards!!! Great find!

Good find and salvage.

I worry that the winch being mounted to your mll will bend the runners. I would separate it.

Years ago when I was going thriugh Architecture class our teacher told us "make sure that the house you are designing and going to build for the client actually goes on their property". Many times houses are built on the wrong property. That is a lesson I have carried all through my career.

Man that is beautiful. Great job! Should really help keep the mill level and steady.

You do everything calm and methodically , patiently . I think that makes a successful man , stumbled back on your channel . I’ll b following your build . Keep up the great work

How are locking your throttle handle , I’m interested , going to check out your other videos . Nice work !

Always love watching your videos when you post them. The music in your videos is the best I’ve come across on uTube; I honestly wish that more people would watch you work and just enjoy the music as well. The boards are absolutely amazing and you sawed them perfectly and got the most out of them for your purposes.

I have watched several of these. Yours is the best and most educational one I’ve seen you are very careful with every procedure you did. Love the gas can…I have 3 of them. They are great. I’m getting a trailer with mine. Hope I can find an assembly video where they do as great a job as you have done here!👍👍❤️

Beautiful lumber!

So sorry you had to do all that work but you did a great job. Good luck in your new place. I just found you today but will try to follow up. 👍

Getting pretty fancy with the editing 👍

Turned my stomach to see you dismantle all your hard work.........Hope council members reap what they sowed.....

NO wonder ur backa effed
