    Brock, you are awesome v-blogger, very natural style and interesting content. Stand looks solid and knowing the material - oak - should withstand years of heavy use. Make sure to coat it in several layers and add-coat once a year or two. I'm positively-jealous you have dad to share these moments together!

    Howdy Brock! That is going to be one sturdy stand that should last you the lifetime of the saw... or dang near to it anyway. As my buddy (who has probably doubled the weight of his house with solid oak everything) would say... 'Strong enough for elephants to hump on' lol! Nicely done and thanks for sharing 🤠

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому +1

      I like that one.
      That oak is definitely at least three times as strong as the same dimension of pine.
      You can hardly run a screw through it.

    @donalexander4083 Рік тому +1

    nicely done, Brock and dad 😀 you didn't say whether you were going to through bolt the legs to the beams, but you might want to at least consider doing that; sometimes even dry wood wants to twist and warp abit when out in the sunshine and if it wants to those screws won't stop it but through bolts would
    just a friendly suggestion 😀

    Great video, Brock! Gives me some ideas to build a permanent base for my sawmill. I'll be looking to put a roof on mine. Can't wait to see you get your saw set up and running!

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому

      Thanks. Is yours currently sitting on the ground, dirt, or concrete?

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому

      My initial thought was to just set it up on the ground and mill lumber to build a stand out of.

      @@RockhillfarmYT It's set on a temporary base that I pieced together with stuff I had laying around. I had an old dock section that fit the sawmill perfectly, so I set that on some equally spaced 2x4's to keep it off the ground. After that was level, I put two long 4x6 beams down and toenailed them in place. I set the sawmill on that. It's been working perfectly, and after the first month the mill stayed level. Hopefully I'll get a more permanent setup this summer if the snow ever melts! With 50's and 60's forecast for next week, I imagine that won't be long from now.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому

      Thanks for sharing. I wanted to build mine this way because I want to be able to move it if needed and it’s stay level.
      We’ll see if it works that way.
      I almost bought tubing to try to build a solid steel frame under it, so it never flexes

  • @peterkoster5053
    @peterkoster5053 Рік тому +1

    Looks good... if it were me I might have added x bracing at the ends but then it's also harder to clean up sawdust.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому +1

      That’s what I’m still debating. Maybe adding some x braces

  • @AaronTurnwald
    @AaronTurnwald Рік тому +1

    On the tabel saw you have to take a little then go a little deeper next pass. Takes a few passes but doesnt kill the saw or pop the breaker. In the future you can just rip with the mill, thats what i do.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому +1

      Exactly right. We actually talked about setting the Sawmill up first and ripping that whole stack of two boys on it, but probably would’ve taken longer to get it level and then move it again.

    Great looking base - nice that the mill's frame will tie in the two rails neatly, and allow for cleaning out under the mill perfectly. Question for ya' - that Dewalt driver drill, is that a 1/4" impact? or drill only? (Shopping for one, lol)

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому +2

      We were running screws with the quarter inch impact driver and drilling the holes with a regular cordless drill. Back when we were manufacturing and using these drills all day every day, I was really happy with the way the Dewalt tools held up.

      I do really like John Deere, but some of the other brands are tempting when they make a capable machine that cost a lot less

      @@RockhillfarmYT Excellent job, Brock! Since the original comment is coming from a shop teacher, I'll ask this question since it has been bugging me for a while...
      The recessed holes that Brock drilled and called "countersinks" are actually called counterbores, aren't they? My understanding is that a countersink has a tapered opening to allow a tapered screw head to sit flush with the surface.
      Take care and God Bless.

    • @williamreedy3350
      @williamreedy3350 Рік тому

      True. Countersink has tapered walls where as a counterbore has straight walls. But it looked like he used a regular drill bit and not a spade or pocket hole bit we might call it a counterbore-sink. 😁

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Рік тому +1

      I was using a pocket hole bit because we have a lot of them laying around
