Woodland Mills Demo Day 2023 Full Video

[Music] hello everybody I'm Jay with Woodland Mills and I'm here at our head office and showroom location in Port Perry Ontario uh for our first demo day you know we've been thinking for quite some time a way to bring together our community of customers whether online or in person and this is our first crack at it so we hope you enjoy just back to my left here we have our portable sawmills from our hm122 all the way through to our hm 136 Max which was recently announced so we're going to get a closer look at that today so make sure you stay tuned when we found it with the Mills we first started uh doing demonstration days right at my own farm and uh we would only do them on Saturdays and Sundays cuz in the early days we had day jobs yeah so it's really good to come back here be able to run the machine for the day I mean I haven't had a full day of running a machine in in a while and uh I'm definitely looking forward to that and I guess when we brought Jay on board and we communicated early our our aspirations for what we hope to do in the next year uh this was one of the things that we really aspired to do was get back and start doing demos and showing people uh and I mean I was talking about doing it in person uh the whole idea now of doing them uh through the web and showing a broader audience you know it'd be Josh and I on a on a Saturday or Sunday because we work like Josh said Monday to Friday our day jobs and then uh yeah we'd do demonstrations and then uh load people's vehicles and you know we did the paperwork the accounting everything ourselves so it's sort of full circle now we're back to this so it's it feels good to be yeah back back to doing this and uh I mean it's a little different now with talking to people online and whatnot but uh yeah yeah we're excited this is this is great yeah and we got a much bigger team now to support the whole operation so uh we got a little little extra help now so that's very excited all right and we're live again okay I Wrangle Josh we're going to put him to work on the hm130 max yeah we've got a uh cherry on there we're going to Mill it up into some Live Edge slabs uh Josh you want to give the audience uh just a little insight on Cherry like I know you do a lot of woodworking yourself I've seen some of your shaku boards I do what uh what do you use Cherry for uh typically I mean you call it there so at my house we make a lot of shur boards make a lot of gifts for the holiday season and uh Shakur boards tends to be one that my kids can help with it doesn't involve a lot of you know experience or fancy joinery we can just kind of take the liveage boards cut them up put them through the planer uh kids can run the Palm Sanders and get them ready um so yeah I like cutting Cherry uh as well as some Walnut into those kind of 44 inch and an eigh cut so I can get them through the planer and still end up with a board that's not too heavy once it's been cut down awesome okay we're going to start I've got it queued up I've got the log secured um I'll get the mill running you know get the engine going bring up and we'll make our first passes nice all stuff we've seen Josh bringing the head up going to take off to much here at the top and you don't light edge some of the narrow stuff can be nice too and we can drag this back over said I'm going to be doing four four Cuts here now that I've got a flat side of log I'm going to give it a flip just so we have a more stable uh setting for the next butut we'll eye up our next one here again we don't want to take off too much with some of those more narrow live that's to nice let see how that 14 horsepower just big short work of that cherry log uh a lot of this cut is maybe 10 in wide just set my magnet up so that the next ones I can uh I can just work right off my scale here now my rear log supports are still a little bit high so I'm actually going to flip those drop them down out of my way [Music] so again I i' lined myself up on the scale here on the 44 side now I can just go increment to increment start stacking the boards here on the side you'll see now we're cutting about 12 in wide boards again that 14 horsepower just makeing short work of it here that I put the motor to work a little bit down in those two end knots work got a bit wider and then you can just slow your cut down a little bit or you can push through I oh that's okay yeah talking [Music] through so this Mill was brand new and we set it up uh this is actually the first cut uh that we're making on this whe now that I've got a few pets in I can actually start to smell the uh the way the engine's starting to to break in you'll start to smell the paint curing on the exhaust now that we're in the middle of the log I can hear the governor kind of kicking in and starting to work a little bit more and that'll also put a bit more heat in that exhaust and uh get that curing process from the new engine Center of this wood there seems to be a little bit of a little bit of rot right in the middle there but it'll still make for some nice [Music] material [Music] set my log supports down low I just want to make sure I'm not getting close anywhere [Music] know I don't know if you can see this but this board as I finish that cut just split open that have to do with that uh that rot in the middle and a little bit of tension in the log I [Music] guess I think I can get one more cut in here before I off to low on my plants [Music] just get my guide a little bit out of the way [Music] now I'm getting down to uh what were the last Cuts here so it's tricky to clamp a log on an upward slope so you you'll notice here on this front edge as you can see we got a rounded Edge so I'm just going to flip this so that I got a better hold on this last cut it just makes it a little easier to clamp down on it than it is to clamp up on it [Music] [Music] you see like in these outer boards we don't have any of that rot so this will make nice cutting boards for us some of the character pieces there see if I can get one more cut down through the middle here I have might be too close on this one [Music] so yeah now that we're back into the outside of the log that rots gone get some nice nice boards out of here you'll see that the 14 horse does a nice job it looks like this is about a 14in diameter uh Cherry log and I've left the same piece on the deck here I hope you've enjoyed the show all right I'm back okay Josh you didn't hit a log stop did you it was close yeah a few people in the community actually wanted you to hit a log stop I didn't want to be that guy yeah um it was close so the first one it was within well here we can look right here I mean it's uh right oh that is close that's close the second one I was definitely going to hit it and uh although it may happened today I didn't want it to be on the first log yeah so yeah we uh we joke all the time that we need to put put a shirt in our merch line um you know I join the club so stay tuned for that let's see maybe if we get a lot of votes for it uh over the show we'll we'll make it happen um okay I think uh that's it now so what we're going to do is we're going to take a little break and we're going to come back at um 11:30 and what we're going to do is uh we're going to throw another log up here and Josh is going to Mill up some cans for us um yeah so thanks and we'll see you in a little bit Josh is just going to get a log loaded up on the 130 Max here uh ready for our 130 demo so uh I'm just going to let some slow TV roll here and you can watch him load it [Music] up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right Melissa can you hear me okay all right um yeah so we got that teed up for 11 and Josh is going to Mill that into a can not sure what size yet he thinks 8 by8 uh Neil and I think 6x6 so we'll see what he gets out of it um just wanted to shout out to the community there's lots of good chatter happening so keep it coming uh let us know where you're tuning in from uh your name name um where you're from you know what you're Milling on and uh we'll give you a shout out um yeah so I'm going to uh take another little quick break here and we'll come back at 11:30 and uh we'll put uh Josh back to work on the 1:30 Max so uh we just wanted to come back on a few minutes before uh we put Josh to work on that hm130 Max uh I also just wanted to give a shout out to some people here we've got uh let's see uh Rob from Virginia hey what's up Rob uh we've got uh Willie I believe from Brockville hey Willie um country Homestead hey guys yeah so keep it coming guys let us know where you're from um and we'll keep shouting you out as well and keep the chatter going this is great I love the banter here in the uh in the live chat um so we're also going to do just a quick little walk around here we had some technical issues on this camera so I'm just going to take you around the Sawmills and show you uh some of the other things that we've got set up here and if we go glitchy we'll come back to Josh on the HM 136 Max but I think we'll be okay so uh yeah let's follow along here with garnet and Melissa you keep us honest and let us know if uh if we go glitchy again okay thumbs up or thumbs down um all right oh and so I did say at the top so if anyone is just tuning in at uh 2:30 is it let me just double check my schedule yes 2:30 we're going to be uh putting the HM 136 Max to work uh so Josh is going to do some Milling on that he's going to tell us a little bit about it and let us know what makes that special um so make sure you tune in at 230 for that all right and then we make our way along here we've got our hm 122 which is our uh entry level Mill uh and then and our hm16 over there these two Mills are being operated by gourd and Derek on the tech team today so um anybody from our community or a lot of our customers will know Gordon Derek if you've ever called in um Stellar Tech Team uh so yeah they're Hands-On today you'll see them floating around in there somewhere all right we're making our way across here we have a couple of our chippers out the tfn tf8 10 Pro uh which we will uh put to use as well today um I think we've got a WC 46 out there as well uh but yeah the TF 810 Pro you're actually going to get to see that in action today as well uh we have our multier trailer attached here I think Josh is probably going to be do some chipping into that later on today um we'll make our way up here yeah lots of people still rolling in here so it's it's uh quite busy yeah yeah this is our new path Lander that we went live with just a couple of weeks ago this is like the baby to the uh the multi Lander but um don't be fooled by its size it's got a 21 cubic foot uh capacity and uh yeah it's the uh we coin it the trailer that you'll never want to unhook so um we're excited about this and getting this into more hands we swing around here uh we've got a log Arch uh the log Lander 28 set up right here as well um but we've got the showroom open there's lots of people in and out looking at all sorts of different products today um we actually have a kind of a scratch and dent area over here as well uh so people can browse browse some products get some deals um and then we have a food truck on site and a snack table um yeah so we're we're happy to see everybody still rolling in I think uh I think it's going to be a good day um feel like we're just getting started too so what time are we looking at here let's see 11:30 okay I'm going to go Wrangle Josh and we're going to get the 130 Max started and we're going to get uh get him Milling a can perfect okay we've uh wrangled Josh and like we said we're going to put him back to work on the HM 130 Max and we've got a bet going um Neil and I think that this you're only going to get a 6x6 out of this but you think eight so we're going to put you to the test I think we got lots to get an eight out of it uh I'll see you when I eye it up at the small end there um I'm going to start just by finding out where I can get eight inches of width there and then we'll be able to do a quick a quick measurement and and make sure that an 8 by8 is achievable cool all right well over to you then thanks I'm going to get started just by laying it out down here have a look at the end I got to get this head up out of my way so I I I think we got about a 12-in log here on the small end and that's why I'm thinking an 8 by8 won't be a problem I don't think we're going to get much off of it other than the can itself um but you can see here yeah I mean from the blade down we've got lots of space there definely EAS to do it all at there is actually going to be a little bit of there'll be a little bit extra there so I might work my way down to eight um I will kind of Mark this out I I took my measuring scale and I've got it calibrated off the deck right now uh so I usually throw a little line here at the bottom and I know that when this is all the way down this inch ruler is actually measuring my last board off the deck so right now if I start cutting here to save my 8 by8 I'm still going to have 4 in to work with on the bottom so yeah I think I'll go up I'll take a nominal board off the top here we'll start with that and then I'll work my way down to about well I'll take an inch and a quarter true off of here and then I'll leave it at 12 we'll make the flip and and start going for the 8 by8 just want to make sure I've got the log properly [Applause] [Music] [Music] secured the auto in nicely here RIT water there also trying to down guys [Music] here see we're getting down to the B end here sorry I can't in the [Music] [Music] way [Music] take another board down just give me a better position [Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] see thr it off now I'll get this back we'll get the uh we'll get the log [Music] flipped try and get that 8 by8 started got a little [Music] [Music] so I'm going to lower the lower the guides down to make sure they're out of my way below the 8 in [Music] mark take an inch and a quarter pass off the top [Music] [Music] here [Music] [Music] oh [Music] I [Music] taking this board off that's probably like a 10 in Cut there it's definitely an older [Music] log [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so now we've got our 8 in in height we can uh come back I'll get this log flipped up and we'll take the same approach going down the other way [Music] so again we're dialing back up here but because we're at the small end here if I just press just press a little bit of wind on that first board here we will uh [Music] I've got an option here it's got the heart kind of down in the middle I can either flip it and the fors on the way down or I can take another pass here here I think I'll just flip it we'll do our 8 by8 and leave it on the [Music] [Music] [Music] bottom [Music] get those log supports where we want [Music] them I look like I'm leaving eight 9 and4 10 and2 11 and 34 this SP [Music] start [Music] we got this lined up here going leave it at 84 so if I can work my way down at a 9 and 1/2 or 10 and 3/4 that'll let me end up where I want to be [Music] [Music] [Music] now my m [Music] finally my [Music] [Applause] that was an older an older log going lay around for a little bit we'll go have a look at that and uh do a recap we'll get the next log loaded up cool all right thanks Josh am I live all right okay cheers uh so was it a 8 by8 did he get 8 by8 out of it so Neil and I probably owe him some money if he turned that into an 8 by8 um all right so thank you Josh for that um we'll take a little break now but we're going to shift it shift gears a little bit at 12:30 when we come back we're going to get over to the uh wood chippers and we're going to put the TF 810 Pro to work um we'll start off to Josh will tell us a little bit about what makes the TF 810 Pro Pro special being being the twin flywheel technology maybe we we can get them to open up the um the flywheel housing and take a look at that twin flywheel as well before we start so um if you are going to go offline and come back come back a little bit before 12:30 and um we'll we'll get over there and we'll do that but uh yeah we'll put the tf10 to work at UH 12:30 but um okay thanks all right as promised uh 12:30 we're a little bit late here but Josh is just repositioning the tf80 Pro because it's a little windy here and that thing is going to throw some serious uh chips um so yeah while he's getting that ready over there we're uh I see uh Sandy from sing with Sandy tuned into the uh into the chat so hey Sandy if you're still online uh yeah guys keep the keep the chatter going this is great we're we're going to make sure that we can get back to all of these questions too at some point over the next uh couple of business days uh and reach out to anybody directly if you any specific questions but okay okay so now we got Josh here again we're going to put him to work once again we've got the WC 46 seem to do all the work around here story's life uh but you do such a good job at it Josh so uh we got the WC 46 and like we said the TF 810 Pro which we want to see in action but uh I think Josh you're thinking about starting with the WC 46 and then we can just stroll over we'll open up the clamshell on the TFA 10 Pro and Josh can tell tell us a bit about what makes it special um so yeah I'll just I'll pass it over to Josh for a bit and enjoy yeah so we've got the WC 46 matched up with a small K cabota it's the 2301 um horsepower wise and size-wise it's a good fit and uh I'll get this unit spooled up we've got some different material here uh we' got some popler some Pine uh and some some other mixed material at the bottom there so we'll see what we get put into it uh we're going to be chipping into the multil Lander trailer uh so yeah let's get this fired up we'll show you how it works m I got my handri I don't have that problem what horsepower do you need [Applause] 15 [Music] yeah so I think we're going to make a lot of start off with a few smaller pieces [Music] here [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] right [Music] [Applause] just kind to working through keeping the material going into the machine [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we'll dial this down [Music] now um a few people commented on the live feed about just how sturdy that was the WC 46 comes in at about 550 lbs and we've got our laser cut uh plates which is pretty standard across all of our chipper so yeah it's a prettyy heavy duty unit and a lot of comments do around or a few anyway uh just around the sturdiness and how there was no shake I mean I'm the I it really comes down to uh with the WC 46 you've got a 4in high 6 in wide opening so it really just comes out on how many horsepower you put on it because if I was running this down at the minimum in that like 15 16 horsepower range some of that bigger material might have felt the load hit the tractor a bit and you would have heard the tractor either Gover her up or start to slow down um if that was the case I could have I can stop the feeder with the red bar here let the tractor recover and then go back at it um because this tractor has ample horsepower for 4in material it just was taken it nice this wc68 is basically identical it's just a dialed up version which gives us 6 in by 8 um but you need a little bit more horsepower to run that and it's a little heavier so you got to watch you don't a lot of people really like getting the bigger chipper but uh if you can't lift it around your property easily with your three-point it's you're better to go 46 and just you'll see I had to trim a few branches it's pretty standard Fair smallest one smallest one we have at the time yeah would this be too much for an 1830 could put 1830 no you should have uh yeah you might be light there how many PT horsepower on that I'm not sure but I know it's the smallest cabota that you can put a yeah and that's what I was at the dealer Bo borrowing this the other day actually and I probably saw one sitting in the lot I'd have to look at the specs um but yeah so that's the WC 46 and that's our single flywheel outfit um you'll see with the pro series I can definitely throw things a lot further um I save some of the bigger material um it's more efficient in general so I'll just push the rest of this pile through the uh tf10 all right we take a look at the tf10 pro Josh is going to open up the clamshell as well and just show us yeah a little bit the magic so this is a patented twin flywheel technology that the team has been working on for a number of years um so yeah we're pretty excited to have taken this to market the last couple of weeks um garet get in and get up close on the uh the twin flywheel in there while Josh open up the clamshell here to uh show the viewers what's going on in here and then we can also show some of the crowd but this is our patented twin flywheel so you'll see we have we have our first primary flywheel here um I'll rotate it slowly you'll see how as I rotate it the rear flywheel uh is spinning at twice the speed so the front flywheel which does all the work it's doing the actual cutting uh it's taking the heavy load of what happens in a wood chipper it's connected directly to the PTO shaft and it's spinning right at the 540 RPMs this rear set of paddles it's basically like a set of blowers so the the second flywheel is throwing the chips and creating all the air flow now you'll see in that other chipper we had good air flow uh I had trimmed those branches a few days ago so those leaves are also dry which helps um but yeah with this one we create so much air flow that there's no way debris needles anything that's going to cause you grief and it keeps the chipper very clean inside because there's just so much air and velocity so this also gets the speed up so what the tip speed of this rear paddle is throwing it I think it's 90 kilometers an hour uh whereas that one's throwing it at half the speed because it's at 540 so it just gives us more velocity and it gives us more options for where we can put those chips and where we place them uh you'll also see it makes a lot more stuff in the air if you let it blow into the wind which we're going to be doing today but uh they'll figure it out pretty quick and uh yeah I'll get this closed up and we'll put some material through it and see the eight work right hey Josh uh what is the PTO horsepower on this tractor here this is the Cota l3940 I'm 3090 engine I'm going to guess 34 at the rear 35 it's kind of at our bottom threshold for what we Reon yeah I just uh see was Michael had asked that question there online so we're just about at the threshold here at the the minimum PTO uh horsepower require required for the TFA 10 which is uh 35 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] let [Music] Rel [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] all got that [Music] lck [Music] Melissa uh can you hear me all right Josh is about to put this thing to the test uh you know we've got a a lower horsepower at the PTO here but he's going to attempt uh quite a diameter here regardless so let's see how it goes every time I see this thing operating it impresses me that's only a 35 horsepower there and that's I maybe 5 or 6 in [Music] that's about what I can do all right I think we maxed that 35 horsepower PTO out uh which still quite impressive wow all right okay so Josh is just shutting her down there um I just want to go back to a few of the comments here some really great uh great questions here um somebody had asked whether or not we've got a shear pin yeah this is a uh shear pin PTO shaft that actually is included with the uh TF 810 Pro um someone had also mentioned uh the the fact that this thing was just eating brush that's one of the key features of this in fact uh is with the secondary Flywheel spinning at the um the RPM that it is it just naturally creates an air flow um and you have a lot less debris so you have to think a lot less about what you put into this thing when you're when it comes to mixing materials which anyone that runs uh any single flywheel um PTO chippers you know that you got to be aware of what you put in it but um the twin flywheel uh tends to overcome that all right let Josh uh say his part there we'll do some roaming let's see who's around Steve hey man St Steve is the uh founder of rack stacker and uh also a few other awesome Endeavors that you've got going on uh thanks for coming out bud well it's great to be here you guys have got a lot to show off here and you guys are doing a great job of telling everybody how all works awesome awesome yeah um no we're glad you came out um we've been talking with Steve uh for a little bit now uh he's got some um some content coming out uh for what season are you in right now we are in season six of the Homegrown Hunter TV we've got these guys partnered up with us in the years to come we're going to be showing you infield what what you can do with hunting stands how to build a cabin in the bush obviously hunting camps are got property they can hunt I've got 90 Acres I've been wanting a sawmill for years and you know Woodland Mills offers a lot of really great tools you can use in the field that we're going to show on the Homegrown Hunter and we'll show you how it's all about and it's obviously in our lifestyle it's in our wheel H we're going to show you exactly how to get her done cool cool and uh let everybody know how to find homegrown Hunter sure so you can find us on the Sportsman's Channel Canada if you're a subscriber to that channel you can also find us on Wild TV on what we call Q4 so October to the new year and then our new season starts in January to the end of March but you can also to see past episodes go to HGH htv.com grown Hunter tv.com cool yeah thanks for coming out man who's this this is Maverick right this is Maverick hey buddy pointing gon yeah you uping game dog nice he's lazy today all right um okay we'll catch up bud um so like we were saying uh so what time we're coming back at let me just get my schedule here 1:30 we're going to be jumping back to the hm130 Max and we're just going to Mill up uh some boards closer to dimensional Lumber so um yeah tune back in around 1:30 and we'll put Josh to work once again on the hm130 max um all right we're going to take a quick break and we'll see you in about 25 minutes cheers everybody uh yeah welcome back back everybody um Josh is just uh setting us up here for uh some dimensional Lumber um I think he's going to do some 2x10s but uh I I might be speaking out of turn here but let's check it out with Josh and find out what the game plan is here and we'll Mill this down into some dimensional lumber for you guys well see you got Josh on the mic too okay Josh what are you thinking about here check check check we couldn't wait for you um we uh we had a crowd standing here I wanted to get this Mill dialed in uh we got a red oak here on the on the mill we just cut a few veneers I'm just setting up my scales now uh we're looking to do uh but it looks that I can get some 2x10s out of this um maybe 2 by8 if it gets a little bit narrow but I think I'll be able to pull some 2x10s and yeah I'll get started now we've got it clamped down so I'll just have to get oriented and we'll get going I've got my yellow scale I'm not sure if you can see it but I got my yellow scale set off the deck and I have my my 1in board and 2in board scale just overlapping on the right got to pay attention to both as we go here right now we're sitting at about 11 11 and 1 half in off the deck we pull one [Music] more what I should do now is get this thing flipped over so I got a bigger face on the bottom than I do on the top so let me just get this all [Music] oriented [Music] so they get these log supports up nice and high makes turning these logs a little [Music] easier this is an orc it's got a bit of half to it [Music] clamped in on there when I took off my first laabs here I went a little aggressive at the start back that off a little bit adjust the weight got [Music] [Music] across [Music] all [Music] [Music] s [Music] take a veneer just to make sure we're cutting ni here [Music] true [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we get this rotated one last time I can get those logs and fors drop [Music] drop these to the square sides all up down not all the way yet cuz it's still pretty tall somewhere in the [Music] middle got that log res [Music] secured oh you [Music] buer SC there we go so now [Music] I'm [Music] start clean uput here looks like we'll have a little bit of wind Edge on it there [Music] [Music] [Music] I [Music] got a little bit of stress in this log you'll see the the tail end is coming up on me me take the boards [Music] [Music] off point switch back to this point one scale [Music] [Music] here cuts [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all day [Music] take an eye on the plant [Music] there [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] spe [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] lot P whatever all right we're back okay has got me nicely done Josh and you called it those look about exactly 2x1 yeah they're actually 2 by 12s I was able to get uh we had already dropped it to just under 12 in um before I started so I just used that 11 and 3/4 we flipped it up and then we used the 22 scale to work our way down through nice that's red oak yep those look great yeah the guys called it in the chat here online uh Red Oak naughty Red Oak as I think Wallace said um good chats there guys I mean I think Wallace had asked about the um the lubricant um yeah so I think it came up with the community too our Mills are outfitted with a patented um Auto Lube system that engages when the throttle engages and it's quite common to see you got to turn the spigot and the water is just running the entire time you cut uh but ours is a gas and go throttle activated lubricant system that's why he didn't see it going during uh his in between passes so it basically automatically turns off when you let off on the throttle it automatically engages when you when you go um we're just running water and a little bit of soap uh the soap breaks the surface tension and lets the water bond to the blade uh so it gets carried further through the cut um again keeps that blade cool keeps the sawdust uh from going into a fine dust as well when you're Milling the bigger stuff awesome okay so um 23 we have the HM 136 Max uh being put to the test as well we're going to let Josh take a break I think he's uh worked hard enough so far um we're going to want him to have some energy for that uh that 230 demo so come back at 2:30 and you're going to see the 136 Max in action welcome back everybody we are just a minute or two away from getting Hands-On with the hm1 136 Max Josh is down there warming up now doing a few passes just to make sure everything's okay people are gathered around uh uh I can't wait to get you down there before we go down I just wanted to introduce everybody to John uh John is one of our ambassadors um his YouTube channel is uh Pac Wilderness and uh Josh has had a hm126 for about 3 years now uh yeah maybe even closer to four and uh on his channel it's worth checking out he's built this beautiful dovetail cabin uh which has taken you about how many years three plus years to get to the point I'm at now which is more or less finished I think nice yeah it's it's a beautiful job but uh check John out he also has um he's actually one of our first log artch the log Lander 28 customers so he puts that thing to use on the YouTube channel as well so uh yeah I'm glad you could make it out man yeah thanks a lot thanks for letting me be here all right okay let's um let's make our way down to the 136 Max uh looks like Josh is ready for us this crew here has been waiting all day just to see the 136 Max uh run so how's it going over there Josh all right are we all set over here yeah uh again I I mean I get a little anxious um we had a lot of people standing here waiting for the show so I figured I'd we had the one flat side I got it flat sided on the other uh I was just cutting a few veneers uh to make sure the blade I got on there is nice and true okay now I'm going to stand it up um we'll square it up on the third side and then uh yeah we'll start making some planks um do you want to give us a rundown on what makes the 136 Max special for sure um I mean this the 136 Max has been a project inhouse um honestly we've had working prototypes of this for over 5 years now um we know that getting that really wide cut the 36-in boards uh is something we're hearing about all the time in the community uh everyone hates to see those big uh logs have to get taken down so we strive to make the 136 uh much like our 130 Max where you can do a 30in cut and a 30-in log again we coupled that together with our full cut saw head and uh we're able to take 36-in logs down we actually have quite a bit of extra room around the log we've got over 40 in between the tracks there um um we have almost 37 in between the guides for those cuts uh again you can hear this Honda engine just purring that v twin a great engine just an amazing engine to run uh so smooth quiet and uh yeah just the balance and then again when I lean into the cut that engine just has a really nice spot in the governor where you can really just pay attention to its cut and walk through uh obviously you want to cut as fast as you can just to get things done uh but on small smaller logs you'll find yourself like it it's a real real fast pace uh if you just work with a motor and keep pushing so uh you'll find that you end up walking a little slower than the milk could cut itself um and then again on those huge logs you're going to be again working with that engine to make sure you're making that cut and getting through those logs so yeah I'm going to square it up now um yeah all right start [Music] got we had a little Pro tip from one of our customers today he says he always keeps his can hook hanging on the axle resting on that first Jack and I like it now I'll work this head up to the top we do have the electric up down kit that also works on here um the way this Mill got set up today you'll see it's it's close to the ground at that end and high off the ground this this end which wasn't ideal um this is getting just to the top of my range but obviously we could set it up and then if we had it on level ground we can again make it even lower eyeing up this first cut we'll just come down to the end here I think I can be a little bit more aggressive the log's got a bit of a bow in it we're going to catch a bit of Wayan on this [Music] but even see how that 20 horsepower you can hear it just kind of kick in uh because I was going into the bark there I didn't want to lean into it too much but we've got a pretty good size can on here now um I do want to take another inch and a half off the top that'll kind of clean up the rest of this wian on this one side get that log flipped over [Music] t want to have a look and make sure my log supports I actually need to get those dropped down he's down to a reasonable height 3 in the big thing with the 20 horsepower is is holding that speed of cut on the wider boards put a little bit more tension in this blade [Music] little bit low as I was C bring this [Music] down and we're shooting to get all that L off this and first cut [Music] [Music] [Music] SM [Music] just do a few thin passes here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] know I'll actually push it along here and see if we can really make this motor work and see when [Music] it's [Music] really nice [Music] there I mean obviously I'm cutting veneers here we could uh whether I cut it at 16th of an inch thick or an inch thick it's the same cut it's just uh basically how much height you're getting off the top there I think for the crowd around me um I want to be able to make as many cuts on this as possible as we get this engine [Music] to [Music] so I was Milling some veneers there I mean whether you're cutting a 1-in board or a veneer board I'm just trying to show the accuracy and I'm actually trying to play with how fast you can push the motor and keep keep cutting straight um I wasn't able to push it the blade out of spec there but uh as you can see it's cutting through that material nice it's cruising along it's making a nice big uh sawd dust so we're not making really fine dust you'll see it gets carried out of the Chute and that helps with that extra horsepower cuz you can keep a bigger you're basically taking a bigger bite at the same Pace or quite a bit faster Pace than uh the 14 horse uh as you witnessed earlier um yeah we got a nice big can left on here so we we'll be able to keep making some Cuts but I just wanted to stop I mean not not sure how many of those you want to see but yeah um back on here I'm good I'm good um um yeah I mean I will say some of the audience members here appreciated the veneers finally because we took that out of the schedule so they caught they caught on that but um yeah I mean um a lot of good comments here you know we knew with the uh the teaser video that went out this week that people were picking apart a lot of the features on the mill um which they still recognize here and Josh you touched on some as well but um yeah I mean uh it's up to you we can just Mill this bad boy down and um yeah yeah and then and call it a day Josh is going to just finish up cutting back there but um I'm going to sign us off I want to thank everybody for tuning in um we will be responding to comments and uh thank everybody who showed up today we had a really good turnout so um maybe we'll get to do this again so we'll see we got to get everything taken down and put it away and think about that and um we'll uh we'll get something in the books for the future but uh thanks again again and have a great weekend everybody uh cheers this been Jay [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] withs [Music] [Applause] n
