[@ramonagarciabryant9051]

Ur video should absolutely be on the Woodland Mills site. I thank u so much for ur video. I put my sawmill together by myself thanks to ur video, u saved me a massive headache lol

[@robertlord7911]

Hands down best I've watched. Will have it ready to watch as I do mine! Thank you!

[@uglyfarms2009]

People used to always measure once, cut twice until Daddy Joe showed up and invented a new way. I love your videos. The most informative, thorough and may I say entertaining how to videos on KZbin. Thank you!

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Thank You Cody I appreciate your comment, I finished milling the last pieces of a 12x12 cabin today, it took just under 18 hours on the saw and the 126 has done a great job the build video will be up soon. Thanks for Watching

[@uglyfarms2009]

Thank you for the best instructions out there. I just got my 126 up today, thanks of course to watching your channel hours on end.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

@@uglyfarms2009 you will enjoy making lumber to any size you need. Have a great day buddy😎

[@robertjanez7467]

very detailed step by step - thank you for posting, I'm referencing it as I set up my max 130 with trailer saw head now :)

[@Borussenherb]

Thanks a lot for making this video. This is an immense help for all other Woodland Mills Owners who still have to do this step. You should get paid money for doing a job Woodland Mills should have done a long time before... Best wishes from Germany

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Thank you and I hope you enjoy your mill this is a great tool. Have a great day and Thanks for Watching

[@denniswood231]

Why do you put the bolts from the inside have the nuts and washers on the outside...would it not look better and more finished if the bolts heads were on the outside? If the instructions did not specifically state the bolts went in that way I would always put the bolt heads out...it would look much more finshed that way.

Just got my hm126 today thanks for the video it’s going to be a tremendous help

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Have fun with your mill it is worth the time and investment. Thanks for Watching

[@brucewatson8451]

Good video. Hoping to put mine together tomorrow. Fun times ahead!!

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Thank you, the assembly takes some time but everything in the manual is easy to follow. Have fun with your saw and Thanks for Watching

[@misterwizard6805]

great instructional video Joe

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Good morning and Thank You. This saw is going to be a good piece of equipment for us. Thanks for Watching.

Great video! Will be bookmarking this page for future reference when I finally am able to order my HM126. For the time being I'm trying to plan the bed that will support the mill, as well as allow for the future construction of my sawmill shed. I reached out to Woodland Mills requesting some dimensional info but have yet to receive a response. With respect to the head unit, I need the following dimensions: - center-to-center of the track rails. - maximum extension of the blade housing past the head frame on both sides. - overhead clearance required (above the rails) when the head unit is raised to its maximum height. Perhaps you have this info readily available.

I saw where the vent/level tube that points up on the the water tank will collect sawdust and clog the feed line on other videos. They used a longer one and angled it down to avoid that or covered it with some kind of breathable filter. They also added a hex to use a torque wrench when installing a new blade to the correct torque specs.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Good evening and Thanks for the pointer's I will check the vent tube, and this already has a 1/2-inch drive opening on the tension handle for the torque wrench. So far, the mill has been working well. Thanks for Watching.

@@AskDaddyjoe Great.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Oh yeah!! Gonna be good!!

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Good Evening. I think this saw will be just what we needed. Good hearing from you and Thanks for Watching.

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

@@AskDaddyjoe it will be handy I’m sure. Stay safe.

excellent

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Thank you, this mill does a great job I hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for Watching

Thank you

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello, when you get your mill assembled, I think you will appreciate all that milling lumber has to offer. Good luck with your mill and Thanks for Watching

[@Ricky-q5w]

Great video thanks

[@MattSahlberg]

When did you go through and tighten all the bolts down? I am assembling a hm126 as well and all the instructions state is to not tighten full after each step. Plus great instructional video!

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Good evening, you will tighten all of the bolts on the track after you level and square and then you will tighten the bolts on the mill after ambled and the mill is set on the tracks. I hope this helps and I think you will enjoy this saw I think it does a great job. Thanks for Watching.

[@chance3373]

Thank you for the video! How did you move it to it's final location assembled?

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello, I lifted the head assembly onto my flatbed trailer and then separated the track sections and hauled everything to the current location of the mill. The saw head is heavy and awkward and the toughest part of the build. Have fun with your project and Thanks for Watching

[@chance3373]

@@AskDaddyjoe Thank you for the answer, Have a great day ! And a better one milling.

[@michaelandrejczuk803]

Hopefully, I will be making my purchase of a HM126 soon. Ive watched a couple assembly videos now, everyone assembles it off of the track system. Is there a reason for that other than the movement on the track? I will be assembling mine far from a hard concrete surface and wondered if I will need to lay a sheet of plywood down.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hello, good luck with your new saw. The reason it is assembled on the floor is because you can turn it over for various parts installation, keeping everything a little loose until placing on the track then tightening so that it squares itself. The manual does explain this thoroughly. Enjoy your saw. Thanks for Watching

[@jeffpatterson9824]

Very nice, is it self feeding or is it a option?

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hey Jeff, this saw is manual feed, and I don't know if they offer self-feed for this saw or not. I have used this mill a few times now and it is a lot of fun, Videos rolling soon. Thanks for Watching

[@msanford75]

How are you enjoying your mill? I'm ordering the 126 I was stuck on the 130 then my one brain cell kicked in and made me wonder how in the world I would ever turn a log that large? Plus nearly a couple thousand dollars difference in price. I hope I dont regret getting a smaller mill but I think my body and back wont mind my decision. Happy milling.

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Hi Mike, the 126 has been a great mill for me and I think you will like it. Yes sir the logs are heavy and something to consider when you gather logs for the mill. Enjoy your mill and Thanks for Watching

[@8126926]

Why did you skip recording setting the machine on the track?

[@AskDaddyjoe]

Sometimes the camera guy [Me] doesn't have the camera on when it should be LOL. Thanks for Watching

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

I wish something would go wrong on these builds. How the heck did you get those washers to line up so easy on the throttle? That thing has me baffled. The instructions don't help, nor did this vid. (good vid though)

[@AskDaddyjoe]

I didn't have any problems with the throttle cable everything went together pretty smooth good luck you will get it. Thanks for Watching

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

@@AskDaddyjoe You didn't have any trouble with anything. I repeated every other step.
