Assembling a Norwood HD36 SAWMILL!

A couple of months back, I had a dream come true. I ordered my own sawmill. Here, I'm walking you through the assembly of it.

It is always fun to see someone mill a large log. I have only milled 8" to 10" logs using a electric hand planer and my 11" bandsaw. Even that is very satisfying.

[@TheTuttleCrew]

Thank you for the video you helped me pull the trigger on the hd38!

[@johnr2836]

I have a 2000 and love it. Have cut two semi loads of lumber with only a problem with the clutch.

[@farmerchad62]

I just got started on unboxing mine. Seems a pretty daunting task, all those parts laying out on the garage floor. I should have a pretty good start on it though by the end of the day tomorrow. Thanks for the time lapse of yours going together.

[@michaelbruner3555]

Very Nice!! Would surely love to see it in action. Glad you decided to let us see what you have been so gleefully talking about during the podcasts.

[@dellwalsh2815]

I'm considering buying a Norwood saw mill, So yes I do want to see some videos of you working your mill.

[@daveboyt6810]

Congratulations on the mill! If I can be of any assistance, please drop me a line. I've been running a HD36 for around 10 years. Looking forward to your videos.

[@IansWork]

Thanks for posting- very helpful to see this assembly.

[@JTFEMS15]

I have bought the same mill and should be on the way to me as we speak. Thanks for the info. I look forward to getting my mill started in NC

[@danielelse3914]

Finally, we get to behold the mysterious mill that has dominated the weekly podcast! Happy that you like it, Logan, enough to bring us along on your sawmill adventures.

[@b0y9ggz]

Love the Stevie Nicks reference! Fleetwood Mac was my first live concert back in 1975. Been waiting for this video for weeks as you teased us about it on your weekly podcast. Nice looking unit, can't wait to see it in action!

[@CJ80ish]

Great video, getting ready to buy one and everyone on a Facebook group is warning me of how difficult it is to put together… kinda a “get ready” attitude looming.

[@joetreloar215]

Yes, I definitely want to see that mill in action. Thanks!

[@randyowens264]

Definitely want to see some milling videos! I really appreciate this video as I have been looking at mills for some time myself. Thanks so much!!

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

We're on shooting some milling videos now, so stay tuned.

[@woodlandharvesthoneycompanyllc]

You will be super glad you bought the mill. I have an HD 36 myself. All I want to do is saw logs now. It does a fine job and I like Norwood's innovations. I also checked out several and the Norwood was designed the best. I like being able to add opinions later. On the blades,there is a business in New York state called Russaw. Russ sells and sharpens blades at very reasonable prices. If you are interested I will give their phone number. I liked your appearance on from the stump. Would enjoy seeing you on that video again. Also definitely do some sawmill videos.

[@donshaughnessy3281]

I too would like to see more milling videos. Saw you guest appearance on Off the Stump which I really enjoyed. I purchased a smaller Norwood last December. Love the mill and the customer service. Knocked out a 24” southern red oak this afternoon. It’s a very fun log to turn with just a cant hook.

[@pauldyke2421]

Great video Logan, looking forward to seeing some milling videos. I have a dozen or so logs set aside (mostly ash, with some maple and cottonwood also) that I was going to take to a mill, but have been contemplating getting my own sawmill.

[@fcschoenthal]

Nice to see one being put together and definitely want to see some milling videos start to finish. I've dreamed about having a mill, but lots of factors to consider first, like where to store it and where to store any drying logs after milling (especially for years). I guess I'm too much into instant gratification to wait for lumber to dry. - Chris

[@stuartjohnson8171]

Looking forward to videos showing you using the mill.

[@martinnogueras6904]

Nice toy haha. I was looking forward to seeing that beast in action! Guess I'll have to wait for the next video. I know you know but, stay safe.

[@rodneywgriffith90]

I would be interested in a milling video demonstrating how you quarter saw lumber from a log with your new bandsaw mill. Congrats on your purchase.

[@dsdragoon]

I look forward to seeing put that saw mill to work. There is as much art as there is science for getting good yields out the logs you're milling.

[@tonyv3860]

`Very nice. Love to see some milling videos, Thanks.

[@briansmith8967]

Nice rig! Eagerly awaiting watching some milling! When do you think you'll do a video about that?

[@oranmccully6492]

How much did the HD36 cost for your order? Can you pay them to professionally assemble the mill?

[@kelvinyates292]

I would love to see some milling videos.

[@JSCRocketScientist]

Agreed!!!

[@tedoverby4260]

Need to know how trottle cable routing is done

[@rjcarlson72]

I’ll add that I’d love to see some milling videos too!!

[@DavidWhite]

Would like to see that thang in action

[@robertspeer]

I need a video on convincing the wife, that’s the impressive part ;)

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Mine involved her betting that I couldn't get to my Pre-college weight. I won.

[@robertspeer]

Woodsmith nicely done, congratulations!

[@jeffbaker8808]

@@WoodsmithShowandmagazine I think you both won. They're smart that way.

[@Capoeiristadiogo]

How much did you pay for the complete set?

[@valborchardt3596]

Oh wow, thats really great. Enjoy your new toy. Take care and be safe, from south africa

[@joseujose4503]

Where do you store the mill? What size truck do you need to tow the mill? Where do you stack your milled lumber? How do you find logs to mill? What negotiations do you make with people who want logs milled?

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

I have a vinyl cover for it, so it stays outside. Its only about 2000lbs, so a half ton will tow it easily (however, i have a 1 ton to be able to also carry lumber home). Most logs come from my arborist friends, but there's a ton of free logs on Facebook or Craigslist. When I mill for people, I charge by the hour ($75) and $25 for each blade that hits metal.

[@chuckforabuck4984]

Hey Logan! I'm shopping for a sawmill again, my wife is still is like wtf am I going to do with it. So I told her let's move from NE and build a house in Colorado. Lumber prices are so crazy now, it's a no brainer for me. It would be great to get in contact with you for some tips

[@oliverdelica2289]

They suddenly became typical KZbin garage woodworkers 😂

[@vowelsounds6312]

Very sobering. What would Norwood want to have an assembly man come do all this for a customer?

[@blackseabrew]

I really want to go with a Timber King as I live near where they are built. But the lead time is 17 months. Ouch. Even the Norwood lead time is long enough at 4 months.

[@perrygienger1304]

I just ordered a HD36 from Norwood and they shipped in 3 weeks. That included Christmas holiday and being shut down for inventory.

[@brianhynes3525]

What is the highest Point from the drive way to the top, would you put it together inside the garage and get it out through a 7 ft high door ? I have the LM29v2 on order and want to put it together inside the garage..

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

Brian, I have 8ft garage doors and it would fit no problem. I'm measure it and let you know.

[@kllisk]

So you had no trouble getting your guide rails flat or blade parallel to the bunks

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

To be honest, I assembled everything on that concrete slab, and I checked it prior to assembling. It was within 1/8", and I can make that up with the leveling jacks pretty easily!

[@williamellis8993]

I'd like to see some milling videos. Watch Out of the Woods channel for a lot of tips and insights.

[@leobrynn4171]

Херассе. Осталось к ардуинке подключить - и ЧПУ получится. =)))

[@danpatch4751]

When opening a new blade just throw it on the ground

[@SawmillBTroubles]

I also wanted norwood but in eu is logosol b1001 and its quality disaster.,

[@Sillyturner]

Naughty naughty calling that internal combustion engine a motor. A motor I powered by electrical energy.

[@WoodsmithShowandmagazine]

You're completely correct!

[@briansmith8967]

Not according to race enthusiasts!

[@michedmck]

Here is the difference: A motor starts when you don’t want it to, and and engine does not start when you want it to!
