#25 Woodland Mills Sawmill - My Mistakes and What I Have Learned

Published 2021-03-14
I have made some mistakes and I share what I have learned since I bought my woodland mills sawmill 8 months ago.


I think this video could be especially useful for somebody just starting out with their first sawmill and especially if it happens to be the woodland mills hm126.


Of course I could probably talk for hours about everything I have learned so far, but in this video i tried to keep it to a few mistakes that I have made that I have not noticed many other people talk about. With this I hope to help someone that is maybe just starting out to avoid these lesser known mistakes that they could potentially make.


As always


thanks for watching


Chris

    As a teacher ... I'd say you hit it perfectly... knowledge is always what works and what doesn't. Both the same value... learning from mistakes is smart. Thanks for your video
  • Thank you so much, just got my 126 delivered, too snowy to even set up!
  • @JCTyler64

    Just got my HM126 put together. Can’t wait to start milling. Thanks for making this video. New subscriber from Arkansas 👊
  • @MrRidingman
    Awesome video sir, much appreciate you taking the time to walk through all details and explaining it. I will likely be buying one and never had one either so you were of great assistance.

    Thanks very much Chris. Enjoyed your feedback and am looking forward to setting up my sawmill that just arrived last week. You raised good points.
  • Thanks man. Definitely useful info. I have a 130max coming in a few weeks and I'll still use some of your knowledge when it arrives.
  • Awesome message I'm just about finished putting my hm130max together and I will check everything you mentioned 👍
  • @jaysun2894
    Thank you so much for putting this video together. Great information! God bless!
  • Thanks Chris - I’ve struggled with my log clamps too. I’m a rookie and now milling my 6th log and those clamps have been my biggest complaint. After watching your video I realized they were backwards. Also the lubrication tips were helpful. I’m in Michigan and was milling in snow last weekend. Let’s just say that my mill wasn’t rolling easily until I sprayed down the wheels with some PB Blaster. Keep up the good work man!
  • Thanks for the tips. I ordered my Woodland mill last week. I spent the extra cash on the blade sharpener and setter. I cant wait.
  • Lots of useful information. Thanks for your time, Chris. Trying to decide whether to buy the NM 126. Own 55 wooded acres in Ohio
  • Hey Chris. Digging the channel. I just came across it today and I clicked because I seen in your Backround and having a setup to put your flitches In which is very similar to what we’ve made to cut ours into firewood. Cool stuff to see other have same ideas. Liking the channel keep them coming I’ll check them all out also.

    I loved the video, Chris’s. Extremely informative tips. Took delivery of a HM130 Max last Fall and will be getting to work setting it up this Spring. Thank you very much for sharing and taking the time to make this video. God bless, stay healthy and safe.

    Thanks for the info! Ordered the HM126 Woodlander. 12 week backorder so I have time to do some more research. Great tips!
  • This is a great video! I just received my saw and am in the process of assembling. Listening to users experience is perfect for a newbie. So far, I’m really impressed with the quality. Very solid. I was planning on buying a separate trailer to tow, but this trailer is a tank! Don’t think I will need to buy a separate trailer to tow at least 1,000 miles. This should be fine to tow the mill. I was missing (2) if the shorter side rails & it has stopped my assembly in its tracks. (No pun intended). To assemble correctly, you need those rails! They have created a replacement order, so just delays me for a week
