AWESOME !!! I could hear your wheels a churning. "Yes it works but I can add this and maybe do this and I know that will work" Just keep having fun with the saw mill and keep sharing, we love watching and dreaming too. Thanks a bunch.
At last , someone making boards that a worth something . Well done sir , took that tree one hundred years to grow , thank you for taking five minutes to cut it right .
Milling your own lumber on the saw mill you built is the best feeling. I was amazed at just how heavy it is to handle fresh cut wood.Beautiful job on the mill.
It has been a pleasure to watch you what you like to do I have learned a lot and you did not waste time talking like the others your are brilliant and if you made this beautiful machine congratulations you are my hero thankyou I wish I can do the same when I make my house
Muss ehrlich zugeben diese schnittvorrichtung an deinem Sägewerk fast du mit ehrlicher Gravur richtig super hingekriegt und mit Gravur bestanden!! Ich bewundere dein super gelungen, bitte Pass auf dass es dir durch Regen oder anderen Gezeiten nicht verrostet, also mach weiter mit deinem Vorhaben, Bretter oder Pfosten zu schneiden, ja das wünsche ich dir von Herzen!!!!!

All it needs is two things... 1) Automatic water/ soap lube drip 2) Fresh coat of Orange Paint You did a BEAUTIFUL job on fabricating this Saw Mill. I've truly enjoyed watching your videos.
Great mill you have there, but please rig up a bottle of water with a tube and a tap to wet the saw blade, it will be much harder to make things with only 1 hand
During the milling process, it is better for your productivity to roll the log 90 degrees at a time and performing your cuts. The stops at the side will help keep the log perpendicular so that your cut on the top will be 90 degrees to the previous cut. Once the top is suitably flat and you have a nice straight edge down the previously cut side, roll the log again to make your 3/4 flat, and then turn it 1 last time to make your true square cut lumber. You can also take your lumber that is cut to squared sides and gang cut them (multiple logs at once, as long as they all fit side by side through your cutter head) to make processing the smaller dimensional lumber faster and less time consuming. Also, after pushing your cutter head through, turn down the speed and let it sit there as you remove your cut boards. Then you only need to raise the blade just enough to clear the log as you pull it back to the start position rather than raising the blade all the way up and lowering it back down to where you want to be after you get back to the front.
your mill looks good. Home built? Suggest you put a gallon container on the top of it with a hose leading down to your blade. Have an adjustable drip feed so your blade has a constant flow of water.
Nice heavy duty mill , no shaking around , well done sir. Gas tank from an old lawn mower makes a good water tank , the shut off valve can be just cracked a little so you have a drip onto the band saw
I’m always impressed with systems that move heavy, unwieldy loads…rolling the log up the ramps…clever. Nice to see how you could adjust the thrust bearings.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Apollo Corbin thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Motorcycle wheels are the best for for homemade sawmills ‘ once there set up right they will last for ever and no tyre wear’ the steel band wheels with the rubber tires are troublesome ‘ the motor cycle tyre is naturally shaped or rounded to keep the band blade riding to the highest point’ just look how beautifully them wheels are running and not the slightest bit of vibration ‘ just look at the perfect smooth cut’ not only that u can pick them up for next to nothing’ where cast wheels will set u back many dollars or euros ‘ so if u are thinking of building a mill consider this ‘ also they have the large diameter which reduces band breakage’ eg less bending on the larger diameter wheel ‘ also gives you a larger cutting throat ‘ this guy knows what he is doing
Nice info, will keep this in mind since I've been hovering on the idea of making one myself since the cost of buying one is too high where I live. Thanks!
That is the ultimate Tool to have around.... Especially when you have nice stacks of logs like you have... Good Stuff ! Cant wait to see this next project come to life...
Pretty goooood! No word of a lie that I find it more interesting to watch your home built sawmill saw logs than the modern high tech multi-million dollar sawmill I work at. Everyone suggests a water self drip feed for blade cooling/lubrication and I agree however if you cut in the winter where water can freeze you may want to consider an oil mist like chainsaw bar lube.
I think the main satisfaction this homemade sawmill gives is the fact it shouldn't work as well as it does or not at all since the consumer mind set we're all programmed to tells us we have to buy either the lumber or a factory made sawmill to cut the lumber. I left the full cuts in the video just because I really love to watch how the blade goes through the log, the sawdust flies and the boards form. The blade lube system will come.
When your bike has spoke rims I suggest using alloy wheels instead. Mine are a bit wobbly and even eccentric to the hub. Also the spokes seem to get stressed too much. I've got myself alloy motorcycle wheels already for this purpose but I haven't changed them yet. ;)
:) I will start building my mill this winter. Where i live there is a place with hundreds (probably thousands) sunken logs. And i want to bring some of them up and see what i can make of them. The downside is that there will be some sand in them and the blade won´t last long.
A truly splendid job, congratulations on a job well done. I am sure you will save yourself a fortune in the long run. Yes, I was also going to suggest an automated water feed in front of the feed side blade guide. Once again, a job well done.
Very Nice! Hands down the nicest mill I've seen built on UA-cam yet! I'm getting ready to build a mill and have been watching vids just to get an idea what others are doing and there are several idea's I'll be incorporating into my mill off of your build! That guide slide system is very cool!!
It's not finished yet, but it works. I was limited to one hand crank turn/30 mm height adjustment-wise since I haven't made a proper setup yet but got the planks cut and they'll work just fine. Will do the updates in the future. :D
Beautiful! Maybe a water tank mounted underneath with a windshield wiper washer pump to automatically spritz water on the band blade instead of doing it by hand. But then you would need to mount a battery too. Need another flatbed trailer to put the cut wood on.
Good job on the mill. I watched all of your videos. I'm in Canada and operate a WoodMizer. One feature that is a must, is the auto feed which pulls the tower along. You get a more even and smoother cut. Also, we found that leaving the cut wood stacked on top while making another cut, heats up the saw blade and causes binding, I also suspect wear on parts etc. And one last thing about safety. We have both broken blades and simply had them fly off. It is so dangerous to run any band saw without full shielding. Make sure No One is ever in front or beside your machine when its operating. A flying blade will slice through you or a by stander before you can even see it coming. I have watched many of your other videos and was as surprised as you were to see your crane mount snap. You are an amazing millwright. If I am not prying to far, may I inquire what type of job you do as a day job? I sure hope you are in a position where you are able to put all your talent to good use. Overall... Simply Amazing. I look forward to your next addition to your collection of wonderful videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Well done...!!!
If he wont i will ,thankyou for sharing your knowledge ,a full sheild makes complete sense to me and i always suspected stacking creates friction. Cheers
It's a good thing the blade guides are there to keep the blade running flat and level... I noticed how the blade wanders up and down just on the outside of the adjustable one.
I Like your Bandsaw project it is First Class, A nice touch of yellow or red Paint on the finished Mill would look just great! I Live in a council house so I am not allowed to weld on a large project like yours. But it was well worth watching Excellent Work. Tom Scotland.
I have to disagree, at 24:11 you give a thumbs up and say pretty good. It is not pretty good, it is excellent! This has got to be one of the finest DIY projects on UA-cam.
Very well done on the Sawmill. I have a question, why wouldn’t you remove every cut board after it is cut? Seems to me you are adding a lot of extra pressure on the blade which is unnecessary?
Tengo una duda me gustó mucho pero tendría miedo de que no se deshaga cómo está sujeto para no caerse simplemente sobre sus ruedas me interesa cómo está sujeto y 2 con goma de cubierta funciona tenía entendido que tendría que ser de hierro o halgo duro con forro de corcho estoy realmente admirado por tu instrucción muchosimas gracias por tu demostración lamentablemente no entiendo inglés pero mirando igual se entiende muchas suerte amigo
Amazing build, might I suggest an auto water drip made from a 5 gallon water jug, some tubing, and a small valve? Another item that would be cool is make a chute to catch the saw dust off the end and catch it in a 5 gallon bucket that way u can use the sawdust for mulch or any nuber of uses, I use mine to Flux the lead for casting fishing weights and the occasional bullet.
Wow ! I've watched the whole build and it looks to be a complete success, it cuts very straight. I've used Wood Mizer mills before and yours is every bit the match for them. like others have said a water drip bottle would be nice and possibly a power feed system? The wood mizer I used had power feed and that made for very consistent cuts.
With some tiny garden sprayers nozzles,a windshield washer pump or two and a windshield washer tank or two,and a relay,pushbutton,you could make yourself a nice cooling system for the blade. Doing that by hand is a bit sketchy and dangerous. I'm working on watercooling brakes on my car lol
good job. I would have liked to see the machine more closely because I started building one and I wanted to gather more details !! I would be able to do it so well! Greetings from Sardinia
Hi, I have a complete build series on my channel of this sawmill build. You can see the details from there: ua-cam.com/play/PLkmF7FAZBzkXDhlqyGNjUEGR1kkC1-5-7.html
It still need tinkering and add-on's like I blade lube, manual saw head feeding system, proper saw head height adjusting system, paint etc. But it works well nevertheless - definitely worth to build it. Thanks for watching!
impressive video, can you make a video of various metal working equipment you have in your shop? Just as a example, the make and model of welders you used, grinders, punches, squares, drills, cutoff saws for metal. Just curious to a shop tools video.
nice mill you got there! a pressurized spray bottle with soapy water strapped to the side would be handy. have the nozzle directed at the blade whilst cutting, and the trigger mounted where you push....it cuts nice straight lumber. looks like your logs are well seasoned...spruce logs easier to cut when dried?
Seems like you could easily add a drip lubrication system-- a largish tank up high, some plastic tubing, and a pair of valves-- one is the on/off (1/4 turn) and the other would regulate the drip (put that one higher).
If the blade is causing a challenge by wanting to run upwards when cutting through the log,wouldn't puting a little bit of downwards pressure on the front of the blade by adjust it with the roller guides counter this tendency thus fixing the problem?
Put 2 cables on the front down low in front of rollers, put a boat crank so you can pull machine equally , pushing on one side up higher on the leg I think is actually putting to much Indirect pressure making your blade want to climb. Love your mill runs at a nice smooth speed . Gravity water drip is nice also.
The carriage is really heavy and steady and when the blade is sharp and adjusted correctly there is no way it'll want to climb. In the short period of experience I've had with a band sawmill this is what I've learned anyway. :) At present moment the mill has gravity fed water drip system on it.
Congratulations on the video and the work. I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these. It makes it a lot easier, especially here that we have a lot of reforestation trees, this ends up reducing my costs and increasing profits. I really like your Channel and your projects, your inventions, very good everything!
It works pretty good considering the fact it is made out of scrap steel and motorcycle parts. I'm satisfied with the current result, however there's always room for improvement.
Love this rig!! Hey had you thought of placing a 2 gallon water tank on the unit and get a simple manual fuel transfer pump and extend the water hose to the blade you are squirting? It can just get a pump with your palm while also pushing the cutting fixture. All so beautiful!!
AWESOME !!! I could hear your wheels a churning. "Yes it works but I can add this and maybe do this and I know that will work" Just keep having fun with the saw mill and keep sharing, we love watching and dreaming too. Thanks a bunch.
Yup, a list of upgrades is waiting. Thanks for watching!
This is the best homemade sawmill on the interweb.
Big, strong, durable, clunky; AWESOME!

Until that blade gets hot enough and melts the rubber on the tires.

Have you considered a kiln drying system for when you need dry lumber right away or do you prefer air drying?
bloody brilliant ,works a treat , nice timber too ! now i know what to use my old m/ cycle wheels for .

very nice mill. very quiet, no vibration, great! thanks for showing it to us! like to build one just like it!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you like it. ;)
I bet the smell of fresh cut lumber was so much better knowing you built the mill to cut it.
I might be a bit strange, but i find this video very relaxing to watch.
I find it relaxing both while cutting the trees into lumber and watching this and other saw milling videos on UA-cam. :D
:) I will start building my mill this winter. Where i live there is a place with hundreds (probably thousands) sunken logs. And i want to bring some of them up and see what i can make of them. The downside is that there will be some sand in them and the blade won´t last long.
Awesome! That sunken material is good one. Especially when it's oak or something similar. You can get some serious value out of them! ;)
I watched it from beginning when you're welding the frames, this is a true accomplishment. Good job man

one can only assume an auto water drip is in the works yes?
yep i was gonna ask the same, a bit of rubber pipe will direct it and make it run slower
yep and also some guards to fornt and below, little hole on a side to guide sawdust out and away from the mill
Watch the previous videos and read the descriptions, maybe? :)

Spruce is very hard to cut straight especially if it is dry.

how do you size it to 4x2 8x2 ect ,seems to cut well good vid
Put 2 cables on the front down low in front of rollers, put a boat crank so you can pull machine equally , pushing on one side up higher on the leg I think is actually putting to much Indirect pressure making your blade want to climb. Love your mill runs at a nice smooth speed . Gravity water drip is nice also.

Hi. Perfect machine! Can you automatically bottle of water on your hand? I think it will be not hard...
that is one smooooth unit ........... so quiet compared to the rattling Woodmizers that I have seen on other posts...
You need to install a water drip system above the saw blade. What you're doing with the bottle of water is extremely dangerous. Your videos are great!
Congratulations on the video and the work. I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these. It makes it a lot easier, especially here that we have a lot of reforestation trees, this ends up reducing my costs and increasing profits. I really like your Channel and your projects, your inventions, very good everything!
All in all a nice job on the band saw. Only question is why have you not installed an auto drip line for lubrication of the blade?
Very nicely done. Looks to be cutting just as good if not better than my lt40 woodmizer
It works pretty good considering the fact it is made out of scrap steel and motorcycle parts. I'm satisfied with the current result, however there's always room for improvement.
Donn DIY nothing wrong with scrap steel. Every Great idea started out with some kind of scrap. Great builds keep them coming
Next jig? An automatic sawblade sharpner, looking forward 👍👍👍
It is a must be thing when working with a band sawmill. I will look into it for sure.
Love this rig!! Hey had you thought of placing a 2 gallon water tank on the unit and get a simple manual fuel transfer pump and extend the water hose to the blade you are squirting? It can just get a pump with your palm while also pushing the cutting fixture. All so beautiful!!
Cheers, already have a water tank on top of the mill. Check out my more recent sawmill videos, you'll see. ;)
Donn DIY Great fabbing and most interesting
