We are milling our first big pine log. At 24 inches in diameter, it was hard to completely fit on our Woodland Mills HM126 portable sawmill unless perfectly centered, so we had to cut off bark from edges to make it work. We milled the pine into 2x4s that we will use to frame our solar kiln.

It is crazy, I have been watching you guys since you lived in Cali. I bet you never thought you would ever be here right? It is fun watching you guys grow together. I love all of the progress. I could smell the wood as you were milling it. I am sure it wasn't anywhere near what you guys were smelling, but nice nonetheless.

While watching this I was thinking these two are as OCD as I am! Great video. I don’t have any land or need for a sawmill, but I still want one!👍🏻

Good video guys. Have always liked your no nonsense way of looking at things. My 126 is just about ready to go. EB.

Great job ! That was a nice piece of tree you were cutting up, I have learned a lot watching over the past few months so hoping it goes well when I get my mill together :)

Congrats! That's about £240 / $330 worth of 2x4s if bought at my local saw mill! I really appreciate the neat stacking <3

Great work. I recently got the same one. Quick note, the logs are easier to flip if the point of the log stops are on the outside instead of the inside where the log tends to catch the point.
