My name is Will. I make things. Professionally, I'm a photographer. I make images. I grew up building houses with my dad so I learned a few things. Over the last few years I've gotten more into making more tangible things in my free time. First it was out of necessity. "We need a wine rack", "I need a desk", "We need a house"... But lately I've been making things because I enjoy doing it and I could never find what I was looking for. As I would make things for my family, people started asking if I would make things for them. So, I'm here now to share the things I've made with you. I hope you love them.
Biggest Mistake: Cedar Sawmill Buyer Beware
I bought a custom sawmill from Cedar Sawmill in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. There was more wrong with the mill than right when it arrived. It arrived with shot guide bearings and it was all downhill from there. I had to do my own custom welding and fabrication and hire a weld shop to straighten the bed of the mill which arrived with a huge bow in it. The pulleys were the wrong size so the blade speed was off. It throws belts. The steel used is extremely thin (not structural at all) and the legs wouldn't hold up a table. I replaced the sheaves of the pulleys with ones of appropriate size. I had to replace the stock guide system with a retro-fit guide system from Cook's Saw Manufacturing. Shawn d...

Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
VEVOR Portable Air Compressor: amzn.to/3Lf9sMF My old compressor died. It lived a good life. I was looking for a replacement when Vevor reached out to me asking if I wanted to try any of their products. They sent me this 15.8 gallon, 2hp, quiet Air-compressor. It's not the prettiest but it works great. I'm impressed.

A Story About Time | A Message of Hope and a Clock
Oh wow, now thats a story from H@ll! So many different problems. So sorry you had to deal with that! Best of luck in the future! He really laughed? Definition of shyster.
Cool idea
And people always want 'Made in America'😂😂 That the table isn't even close to flat is hilarious. Literally no effs given. That the guy sells such junk is unreal. Even the Chinese look at that and say WTF!
That sawmill shaped hunk of steel is an absolute POS. I had a similar experience w/ seqouia sawmills, absolute turds. I spent more time working on the stupid machine than cutting wood. Ended up buying a large TK2400, 70hp kubota diesel, thing cuts like a monster, no down time other than switching blades and occasionally belts etc. Lesson I learned is, buy the largest heaviest sawmill you can afford, TK, cooks, WM, Baker all make good sawmills, I personally like 4 post fully supported hydraulic mills but you pay for it. Hope your rebuilt sawmill works out for you. Hopefully Sean goes bankrupt and stops making sawmills.
That TK2400 is a beast! Yeah this isn't the most efficient mill but at least it's making lumber now. I also like the 4 post design and am baffled you don't hear about more issues with the cantilever WM design.
@@wmwalkerco Yeah, i feel your pain that Sequoia was the same deal, terrible design, cheap parts etc. Im glad your up and running and its cutting flat.
While watching your video I decided that I would trade my nearly new Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide mill for yours. But then you ruined it by fixing it. That being said.............no deal on the mill. Instead of calling it a "sawmill shaped object" it's easier to call it a POS (Pretend Oklahoma Sawmill) Good, but sad, video. Good luck. Dave
Dang that would have been a helluva swap! I love calling it a POS!
I’m sorry to hear about all the wasted time, money, and frustration through this ordeal but thank you for taking the time to inform and educate, definitely missed your content
Man I thought the Frontier OS23 I bought was garbage. Sorry you got so burned.
Good to know about the OS23. People ask me about the smaller mills like that all the time. I wonder if the bigger models are just as bad.
@@wmwalkerco The OS23 was horribly designed and thrown together without a lot of thought into function. My list of complaints is long.
Why are you complaining? They offered you the opportunity to launch a new business fixing their crap. Sorry to hear about your experience.
Yikes. There has definitely been an explosion of demand for sawmills the last few years. Less than honest people capitalize on that. I bought my mill a couple years ago based on online feedback that the company had great customer service. Yes, it is manufactured in China, but backed by a company that stands behind it's products 110%. I say 110% because they made an upgrade to something after I bought the mill, and sent it out to existing owners for free.
What'd you end up with? I looked for so long at so many different mills.
@@wmwalkerco a Woodland mills HM122. I don't have any heavy equipment to move logs so it is more than big enough for my needs.
Will, great cautionary tale, and my sympathies. I've followed you more or less from inception here on YT, and you don't deserve this kind of buttpain. My other thought, for what it's worth and keeping in mind I am by no means a lawyer, you may want to think about either editing this content or taking it down - your statements about Mr. Shady out in OK might be construed as a basis for a defamation suit against you... and I'd be willing to bet he's the type who would do exactly that.
I thought about it long and hard. Nothing I've said here is untrue and I have the text and photo records to show it. My lawyer advised me it was OK. I do appreciate the concern and it was definitely something that crossed my mind. Rest assured I sought council first
I'm really sorry this happened. It is good to see you posting again.
man this sucks, I feel like the ease of "social media businesses" to screw people over has only gotten easier. I remember my parents dealing with a landscape architect who stole money from them and cut corners everywhere. also that image of the ants at end panicking and trying to pull their eggs out it great. looking forward to more vids
I thought the ants were cool too! I could watch them do their thing for way too long. Social Media has been an amazing way to connect people around the world and I feel like it's connected communities of like-minded people all over the globe. BUT it also brings the shills and charlatans. I got burned on this one, but I'm making it better and it's taught me the nitty gritty details that make a difference in sawmill design. Speaking of your parents and a landscape architect. There was a "contractor" doing some work on the house a few doors down. Rented a mini-excavator and skid-steer. It sat on that job for weeks. I thought "man that's a long time to have a rental and not use it that much. That's got to be really expensive". Another friend down the road was having the same contractor do work for them as well. He tried to sneak in the rental bill from one job onto the invoice of the other and got caught. I don't understand why some people just try to cheat their way through life, when if they put the same effort into just doing a good job, they'd have a lasting business and something to be proud of.
Glad you're back, sorry to hear you were ripped off. After all is said and done, it looks like you probably could've built (or had built) a better one cheaper yourself.
Oh absolutely. I was trying to avoid another big project and let someone else do the work, but I could have made a better mill for cheaper with all I know now.
That sucks dude I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you're back!
It does suck, but I'm making lemonade. Glad to be back!
Holy shit man. You should have vetted the purchase with your youtube audience, we could have probably called out his bullshit and avoided your agony
I probably should have. Ive tried to use "posts" before on this platform but they never get any responses so it's hard to connect on that level on this platform
Nothing wrong with telling the truth Will. Very informative and insightful video. You know what they say, ‘ Sometimes the truth hurts.’
I put a lot of value in the truth. It's also a lot easier to tell a cohesive story if it's true.
Awful that you have had to go through this experience. I hope you'll be able to get enough out of the lumber you are able to mill on the machine to pay for a better one down the road.
Now that it's cutting better I'm moving some lumber. Just a big bad hiccup to start with.
@@wmwalkerco Glad to hear things are on the upswing, sir!
Handing over cash before you know what you have is always a mistake.
I do regret it and it won't happen again though I already got burned on this one
Man there's no way you should have started fabricating anything for that thing you should have gathered up a few of your boys hook that thing to the back of your truck and went and visited that guy at his shop and got your money back and let that thing sitting in his front yard which is probably where he made it
Thats a long haul to Oklahoma for me. I agree I shouldn't have had to fabricate anything period though.
Dude, that sucks! So sorry! When I've dreamed about having a sawmill, I figured I'd pay to have someone good fabricate one based on Matt Cremona's plans. I'm guessing that ain't cheap though. Anyway, glad you are back!
It won't be cheap but I think it would still be within reason when comparing to commercially available mills. Next one, I'll weld myself
What a headache. Looks like you're on the path to having a machine that cuts the way a mill should!
It's getting there!
That's a horrible experience. Don't judge all of us Oklahomans by this incident.
I try not to judge. You're Okie in my book!
@@wmwalkerco ha
that stinks.... sorry man
I'm making lemonade. Just couldn't not make this video and let it slide.
Damn... I'm really sorry, Will... What a freaking nightmare! 😔 I hope it works well in the end! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
It has been a nightmare, but with this video I can move forward and not feel like I left something "undone". This frees me up to make content forward now that the mill has been properly introduced.
Great tips, nice work! Just went to Nakashima last week.
Oh cool! It's on my list of places I'd like to visit
So Sorry there are despicable crooks like this out there. Hope you can move on from this horrible experience.
Just needed to get this video made so I could move forward with better content now that the mill has been introduced.
Sorry to see what you went through. What a mess. Nice to see you back and provide a warning to others.
Glad to be back. Hopefully this video saves someone else the head and heartache.
This sucks but, at the same time, with the experience you had here, have you thought about perhaps making your own sawmill brand? it seems like you have learned a lot about them and you know what they need and how they need to operate and output, especially since you found a local shop that can do good steel work.
I actually have thought about it and have joked with my business partner that we could make one hell of a mill with everything we know now. I truly enjoy the milling side and spending time outside on the farm though. We have plans of making a dedicated wide cut stationary slabbing mill at some point and maybe upgrading our mobile mill to something with hydraulics. We're still planning outbuildings, drying sheds, kilns and more equipment, etc. One day maybe.
@@wmwalkerco You know, that's actually a fabulous idea when you consider that reputable companies are citing a 70-week lead time... you've got a good entry point there with at least regional markets.
Sucks Will, I am glad to see you back though.
glad to be back. Been a long time.
Sounds like you were the first investor in his kickstarter campaign. That sucks.
there is nothing to kick start here with this machine, and i think they know this. he just got cheated.
I got took for sure. It wasn't until after it showed up that I found more disgruntled consumers. On the flip side, I'd still be waiting on a mill from Woodmizer or the like. The guy sells them like he is really proud of them, and I can't tell if he's delusional or literally just never used or seen another sawmill before.
Wow.... what a debacle! As someone who is looking to add a bandsaw mill to my arsenal along with my chainsaw mill I appreciate you warning us of your experience...
I wouldn't wish that ordeal on anyone. The only positive in this experience is I know more now about exactly what makes a good mill tick. I think it made me a better tinkerer
Frist
Cool
How’d it hold up, 7 yrs later………😂💪🏽💪🏽
Every RUclips vid for this air-compressor Vevor 'reached out' and provided a 'gifted' unit in exchange for 'honest feedback' If anyone can find a source of genuine reviews from verified buyers let me know.
I will say the pressure adjuster brings and I had to replace it with parts from harbor freight but still going strong otherwise. I know you're looking for an unbiased review and I know I have bias but thought the repair was worth noting.
Thank you. This is exactly what I want to make, have no router or table saw, just like you. Thank you! 🙏 🙂
Lovely work and well made video. But the fact that the knife blades can hit each other kind of defeats the purpose of a knife block, init?
I've been using it for more than a year now and never an issue. How are you currently handling your knives? Mine are all hand wash only so there is quite a bit of care involved so you don't cut yourself
@@wmwalkerco Mine is made out of beech, with routed slots for the knives, rather traditional really. I made it 25 years ago and the blades can only touch wood. Apart from an occasional woodworker, I do cook daily and consider it my #1 hobby. Knives are only washed by hand, and only by me 😀 Knives in a dishwasher would end-up blunt and nicked ;-) Because I am so careful about the blades, I would never put them in a block where blades can touch each other.
I am an avid home chef myself. It seems to work fine in my kitchen and I don't really enjoy sharpening so I try to keep my knives as sharp as possible for as long as possible. Cheers.
I love my carbide tools. So much easier to work with. Great video. 👍
I turn with both but I gravitate towards my gouges and round nose scrapers most often. However you enjoy doing it best and the finished products are what matters right?
looks like my shop
Looks like what we call a …”bowl”. Nice wood
It is a bowl! I just put salt in mine hahaha.
Fatal cuts are so frustrating. I, sadly, understand.

Really great short video. Your editing and video composition is excellent.
What is this audio bro
Ballad to a Mexican Desert (feat. סיון טלמור) you're welcome 👍
I have a lathe that I inherited, I suck at using it, I have cheap bad tooling & nothing but centers for making dowels & such. You make me want to re-think my options. I more than likely won't, but.... Nicely done as always!
4-jaw chucks aren't terribly expensive. You just need to figure out what thread your headstock is and buy the appropriate adapter. I haven't price checked them for awhile but face turning (bowls, platters, etc.) Is really meditative and I find myself always being more creative than with spindle turning.
Mr. Walker, Ot is wonderful to see your content. If someone doesn't like some aspect, then they should simply not watch it. I hope you are well, and that we get to see more soon. Thank you!
Good to see you post! I miss your videos Brother! God speed.
The music........really???? Sounded like there was a fly buzzing around my head the entire video.
