APRIL WILKERSON, TEXAS
Creative joy that encourages others On her “merch” (T-shirts and sweaters) you find the messages: “Get to it”, “Dirty hands - Clean money” and “Pretty Tough”. Those statements also apply to this high-producing influencer, whom we at Logosol are proud to call one of our ambassadors. Photos: Justin Mabie April Wilkerson works hard. She produces on a professional level and radiates a creative joy that is contagious. In 2013 she had never used a power tool. Now, seven years later, she has over a million followers on her YouTube channel. “My motto is that everything I need at home, I build myself,” säger April. says April. This has resulted in nearly 250 instruction videos about everything from a chicken coop, an electric guitar, an entertainment centre, a workbench, to a giant band sawmill. When she received a Logosol F2+, she luckily liked it so much that she skipped trying to build one herself. ”I like my home-made band sawmill, but it isn’t portable. Sometimes it is easier to bring the saw to the logs than the logs to the saw,” she says in her video about her first saw cut with the F2+. Unpacking and assembling were done in the blink of an eye, just like everything else she does. Already in her next Instagram story, she was up and running, filming her first saw cut. ”It runs like a dream,” she says with a big smile. In the video, we can watch April sawing Mesquite*. It is a hardwood, but the saw cuts through the log quickly. ”The cut becomes incredibly smooth and straight,” she answers a follower on Instagram, who wonders what the saw cut was like. If we know April right, she will probably use these beautiful boards in a future DIY video. We are eagerly looking forward to following her coming projects with this sawmill.
• April is excited about her chain sawmill and sees great advantages of a portable sawmill.
*Mesquite is a small to medium-sized tree that blooms and bears fruit. It also has long and sharp thorns that make it unwelcome among livestock farmers. The tree only grows in the southeastern USA and Mexico. Follow April on social media for loads of inspiration: April Wilkerson Logosol Portable Sawmills

10 REASONS TO CHOOSE
LOGOSOL’S CHAIN SAWMILLS ”Many customers want evidence as to why our chainsaw mills are the best. Here are some examples of what I usually highlight,” says Pelle Karlsson at Logosol:
1. Marginal investment, especially if you already have a suitable chainsaw to use for it. 2. High precision and a good sawn surface. 3. The systems can be expanded both in terms of length of the sawmill but can also be supplemented with an electric saw, if you have access to a 3-phase power supply, and a log moulder. 4. Easily disassembled for ease of moving. 5. Much easier to saw cants with an F2/F2+ compared to our competitors’ sawmills, with a
higher degree of precision when doing so.
6. Our competitors’ solutions usually work only for
sawing unedged planks/boards. 7. Many bandsaw mills become too unwieldy and can not be set up where the logs are sometimes located. 8. In small-scale sawing, the saw speed is not the deciding factor, but it is the result that matters. 9. Our competitors usually have a few systems for chainsaws or electric saws, but not usually both. They normally have no or a much smaller range of other products such as planers, dryers, joinery machines, etc. 10. Separately adjustable log beds, which most people actively involved in sawing regard as an advantage.
