John you need to get rid of the log rack so that way you could drive in with your loader and put the directly on to the mill , the you could turn the log when you need to with the loader and chain
3rd generation sawyer here. This is a more primitive version of the mill we used for twenty years. I spent the whole video cringing at how dangerous everything here is. I can’t believe he’s doing any of this! Do not try this at home.
Dam that was a mite sketchy I'd say. Mr John might I ask why you don't have a conveyor belt that carries the drop piece away, are at least a few boards for the drop to land on instead of just an opening over your jack shafts? Sure seems to be a lot safer than the way it's setup now. Just wondering, and you know better than I do, but the way that came off then collapsed onto the roller, and it appeared at first it was going to spring back into you, but fortunately it held on long enough for the rest of it to give it enough push to keep it going forward PS I was watching young fella down in Mississippi the other day, and everytime he needed to turn his logs. He'd hung a electric wench from the joist, and he'd take cable with under the log then using a can't hook attached to the end of cable he'd drive the hook into the log at different places depending on how far he was wanting to turn it. As long as the timber, and shear weight of the log on the carriage, it be advantages to hang two different winches from the reinforced beams I'd install wherever it felt they should be. They've got nice winches that have wireless controllers, so that you could run them independently of the other, are have them sync together in order to have better control over the logs turning. Might be worth looking into the something like that, and for little money and effort it'd surely make it a hellogalot safer for one man army such as yourself
hi now lets just think on what you have written , conveyor may run 10 k to 20k for a new set up installed . .the opening is the way Frick designed it . so keeping in mind i am still putting this together , then the winch in the rafters , would you really winch a 3000 pound off them , they were made for a load from the top not a pull from the bottom . then once again there is a cost factor , you must be a multi millionaire . all your ideas are great and i am glad you brought them , john
hi there i dont think them out at all . i turn the camera on and wing it , later i will go watch some of your videos and learn how to make them better , thanks for the help . john
I enjoyed visiting with you on Sunday when you showed me the mill.

That Detroit sings such a nice song, it’s really running well.

I think You should Build a table top, In front side of the Blade, So wood cant drop down, Near it. 1/2 From It, Just thinking of your safety.

hi there wasn't planning on it but seams like they may help . thanks for dropping in john
That is a very nice big mill.
hi there lots of work but coming along slow , thanks for stopping in john
Sounds like a dirty ol Detroit, love it! Kinda terrifying though that thing would kill you dead if you are not paying attention
hi there , you are right , kind of like driving down the road . glad you stopped in . thanks john
Thanx, man that’s a huge feed works
I'm not a sawyer but since you're alone, it seems that it would be easier to flop it down (forward) and slide it back.
Bill
hi there haven't figured it out witch is easier , or best yet john
John you need to get rid of the log rack so that way you could drive in with your loader and put the directly on to the mill , the you could turn the log when you need to with the loader and chain
hi there there is a place to do that , john

thanks john
Nice job 👍

I lost a buddy one year back in the 80’s he had s mill like this and fell on the blade. His son was standing right there. Sad. Be careful.

Do not try this at home.
hi there i think you are right , things are alot more advance now , but done this way for over 100 years / thanks for dropping in john
What are you going to do if that blade flies off and cuts you in half.
John, you need a chewy, instead of all the other stuff you buy.
He’s Got 2
hi there there are 2 of them , come hook them up for me , would tomorrow work . john
@@fricknjeep See you tomorrow!
looks like you had your work cut out for you on this one
hi there yep , think i need the top saw on next , thanks john
That’s a big log
hi there thanks for dropping in john
Definitely need a offbearing table,i can see you eating a short slab
Hey john im watching your show, have a question what does the top saw do?
hi there it makes it easier to brake down bigger logs , john
Ok i think i understand that it also cuts the top of the log so you don't have to turn it into a stopsign gotcha
yep thats it john
scary backing out with a plank still attached ,, yikes
Dam that was a mite sketchy I'd say.
