Welcome Allen S!

I hope you enjoy your HM 126, I have had one for about a year now and am really pleased with it!  No issues and plenty of great lumber :)

Thanks you all I am a woodworker make crafts and tables and such that new log clamp is some thing I will check into that's the only thing that's is I think lacks a little it come with one but I think it needs two. And I am sure I will have a little lumber to seal too.

I like the looks of that clamp a lot better then the screw clamp goose63. I have the screw clamp with the long one and one that I can make it shorter I rigged it all up in the middle I think I need clamp at both ends of the log.

Allen S,
Welcome to the forum. You will really like your new mill. Keep a sharp band, well tensioned, and the guides set, and you will make some pretty boards for a long time. I too like the new cant clamp Neil has developed for this mill.  Goose 63,
When you get a chance, give us a report on the ease of use of the clamp. It looks like it will let you get to the 1" dog board without tilting the cant.     Andy

Add a grill, some meat and a few beverages and sounds like a winner. Did you get your starter problem fixed on your truck?

Maybe in the spring. It would be fun to see what you're doing with your mills.  Starter problem was the switch, so I wired it through a button starter. Problem solved.  Then fuel pump.... One of these days, I'm going to have all the parts replaced and have a brand new '87 Chevy!

Hello All,

I emailed Neil at Woodland Mills, the reply was that they are in the field being tested. They hope to have them on the market by the end of the month for roughly $80 a piece plus shipping.
Thanks, Robert

Hey goose, how do you like having the mill on a trailer? Did you get it from Woodland or make it yourself? I'm looking forward to getting one of the new clamps, looks like it may be a bit easier to use. :)
