Turning The Jackshaft - Band Sawmill Build #20
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2018
- In this hopefully second-to-last episode of the homemade portable band sawmill build series I'm turning the jackshaft for the transmission to gear down the rpm from the petrol engine and electrical motor so the band wheel turns around 600 rpm as a result. Also finishing up the blade guards and mounts, and adding blade coolant / lube jugs. Everything is recycled or "temporarily borrowed" from other projects or from the scrap heap. Check it out! Thanks for watching!

Patience of a saint
Nice work. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share it with us.
Cheers, thanks for taking the time to watch it. I appreciate it! :)
Your talents are many and your planning is amazing. One very handsome project.
Mike
Graham from Canada you are a freakin genius
Piece of cake 👍👍👍
Sweet job. That beast is coming together nice.
I've been working on crap for years. Wish I had even one tenth of this guy's ability Luca
A fellow human cartoon character? Excellently Awesome Dude!
Very impressive... Fine engineering...
Delightfully presented! Humor takes away a rather hum-drum activity. Do some more if you can come up with some. I'm 83y 6 m and 15 days old; so you might get a clue why I enjoy watching! It makes me wonder where you get all the various tools so quickly. . . Oh, well that's the Internet. Now back to the video!
WOW, you are getting closer to the end of this build. Can't wait to see it in action but I'll be patient until then ;) Sure enjoy watching you build things, you teach a lot along the way. Keep up the good work and thanks so much for sharing. Back to dreaming for me.
Cheers, man. I'm sure that building this sawmill from the end of January and watching videos of this build since that time one has to be patient. I've done it over a long period of time but I kinda expected that. It's my first rodeo on these subjects, both building a band sawmill and the portability of it. So I'm learning as I do it. New time consuming experience for me.
Awesome build you've got going on, can't wait to see it in action. I imagine it would be a lot of fun to sit down for a couple of beers with you. Keep up the good work, much appreciated.
As an introverted and usually a quiet person I start talking after couple of beers. And the topics tend to be more on the taboo side of the spectrum. Just saying. :D
That's a freaking awesome. Can't wait the first milling with it. Satisfying videos! 💪
I can't wait either, hopefully I can test it next week. That is if I'm productive enough. :D
Like the ACDC reference! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, and the saw is coming along nicely!
Nice Work... Thank You for Posting These Videos...
Thank you for watching!
Yes, another portable sawmill build series !! Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see the next video. Your videos have inspired me to learn to wield and I got a job at a body shop to learn more skills !!!
Cool, I'm sure your motivation will be greatly appreciated in that body shop. I wish you a satisfying career in the steel working industry!
Donn DIY thank you very much !!!!
Another satisfying awesome build. Awesome work keep it up (:
Your a credit to your generation. If you are poor then it is by your own hand to be so cause anyone with this talent could surely be a millrite. Millerites make very good money or pretty much name their wage when they can do all the things your capable of. I know now this is not your only build of machine or help. I wish I could pack your water
It’s looking PRET-TY GOOD so far. I had forgotten that you were planning for it to be dual powered. Such a great idea when you are close enough to line voltage and likely a heck of a lot quieter to run on electricity.
I'm gonna run it mostly on electricity when stationed at home, but I think having a petrol engine on it is a good idea too when going straight into the woods for an example to cut some heavy big diameter hardwood that I can't drag or haul with the ATV.
Looking good bud.
Who needs a shaper or a mill? Just weld a bead on to it. I think that should be your official motto! And pulling off those pulleys. I feel for you. One of the most frustrating things I have ever done in my life was try to pull a steering wheel off an old runabout fiberglass boat. I was putting a nice oak dashboard in and putting all new gauges in. Had everything ready but took a weekend to get the dang steering wheel off the steering shaft. I have since learned to buy or make tools to do special projects like this, even if I have to use it once. Still beats a heart attack or a day of cursing and fuming. Learning so much from your build. Getting close.
I spent an entire morning to get that pulley off of that shaft. It was quite frustrating. Thus the big hammer! :D I bet the steering wheel was on there tight due to salty water?
Not too shabby!
Damn good job my friend
I Love watching this baby come together !!!! You are an Amazing Fabricator... I love the metal surplus in the field... I know what that's all about when I was Building My air powered Punkin Chunker - ( Chunk'n-ology ) That material is truly needed for a build of this size (although my wife didn't think so... LOL)... You will be cutting Planks in no time now !!!! Again, Awesome Build... Glad I could be here to watch it from the beginning...
Yes, I've had the same discussion with my significant other about the scrap heap(s). :D But can't build things without scrap. Thanks for sticking around for that long. Sorry for not finishing this thing up sooner. :)
Nice to see the build so advanced now. I am sure you will succeed to the upper most of your expectations.
By the way I like your sens of humor...Piece of cake it is!:) Your resilience will get you there.
Yes, that sucker was on tight! But getting the pulley off of there was worth it.
I love watching an artist
Best job
You are the best 💪🏻
cant wait to see that saw mill in action
You and me both buddy!
Epic levels of GIT R' "DONN"!!!
Great job👌 this thing is going to last for like 200 years, because of the great quality;D
I wish! :D
Awesome video i Like it 👌 Great Job man 👍👌😀👌♥️👍 ♥️👍👌😀
Awesome 👍👍😎
Awesome 👏
I really enjoy watching you create and the initiative. we are kind of a like in a few ways I have been cutting my hair for more than 25 years and my life's been about building and creating. I don't build my own tools as I do not need the type of tools you do. Again I really enjoyed your work and I love that shot you gave of the rain coming down and your trees with the little path walkway leading up to your garage I assume. Keep up the good work Boss Donn
I'm glad you enjoyed it, yes that's my garage driveway. ;) Thanks for watching!
Piece of cake, bro
Exactly! :D
ACDC and welding wooo!
I'd bet the few dislikes are from people who built one already and wished they had watched your series first. Poor saps.
Hahaa! By no means is this the best mill there is, but it's the best mill for me for sure. I like to save money even by not going to the hairdresser and cutting my own hair so that should say something about me and my projects. :D
Ron iiii iiiiiZiiii
4:47 - looking this way it look like MadMax motorcycle! hahaha!
Very cool
Your great grand kids are going to have to change those bearings. Can you imagine what they will be saying when they find out how hard it will be, LOL.
I'm not sure if by that time cutting trees from the forest and milling them on the sawmill is allowed here in Europe. :D So this sawmill will end up in a landfill or in scrap metal melted down for skeletons of A.I. probably. :D
Hey! I watched the whole process of building a sawmill. Good job! Please tell me what is the gear ratio on the pulleys? Or what are the outer diameters of the pulleys?
Привет! Посмотрел весь процесс построения пилорамы. Хорошая работа! Подскажи, пожалуйста, какое передаточное соотношение на шкивах? Или какие наружные диаметры у шкивов?
THUNDER!!!! you've been THUNDER-STRUCK!!!
Wow getting it done fast man...;-p
Great video...many thanks. What is the electric motor for? (Perhaps I missed something)
Greetings from Canada.
Nice work... what is the capacity of the driving motor? Thanks
Я очень восхищён твоим имением.молодец
Yeah, A concrete cake!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk thunder! kkkkkk best job my brother
What have you done to keep the height after you have raised/lowered the saw head? What are you using to hold it once you have adjusted your height? I have been wanting to change home built saw mill to the way yours is but been trying to figure out how you could keep it from free wheeling. I was thinking of just using the shaft assembly out of a automatic 800lb hand winch without the drum and making that the shaft to turn for raise/lowering. Just add a sprocket onto the shaft instead of it turning the spool drum. Just wanted to ask you how you have done yours.
I will try to cut wood without a saw head locking mechanism at first, I will make a height adjustment system but for the crank handle itself which only supports the saw head from top but doesn't lock it to the carriage. The saw head is really heavy so I don't think it will start floating. If it wants to do that then there's something wrong with blade alignment. I will add the locking mechanism afterwards though.
Hello friend..
Congratulalions on the projecto!!
What is the Power of the Gasoline Engineering??
Donn, I may have missed something so could you explain the reason behind the electric motor? I doubt very seriously anyone could buy a better mill. Good Job!
Electric motor will be the primary power source when the sawmill gets under the roof. Petrol engine will be for mobile use.
My OCD is fine because you made the gap the same on both sides. ;-)
Ah, sh*t, that makes me realize I misused the word "crack" again. :D
Donn DIY it's not called a gap or a crack. It's called a seam : D
O man... I wanna see you saw lumber whit that mill, SO FREAKING BAD!!! :-)
You and me both, buddy!
Ты просто молодчина! Жду не дождусь тестирования твоего изделия!
Не пойми превратно,но очень интересно было бы увидеть кто ты в домашнем быту,где работаешь, кто твоя семья,место где живешь! А то во всех твоих роликах только ты и твои золотые руки!
Крепкого тебе здоровья!
Спасибо. Я тоже не могу дождаться, чтобы проверить лесопилку. Не беспокойся. Я интровертированный человек, поэтому в домашней жизни нет видео. Спасибо за просмотр!
Спасибо! И еще раз здоровья!
Жду следующее видео!
Напиши модель своего квадроцикла!
The belt looks rather short. Are you going to slide the engine to tension it, or use a tensioner pulley?
The belt should be fine, it's not the final belt though. Just found some old one and decided to use it for mock-up. I'm gonna slide the engine and the electric motor to tension the belt.
I don't do welding but even I know that it is a very bad idea to pour water onto still extremely hot welds-cracking is inevitable so the joint is compromised from the start.
like to see the final mill in action, is it out there ?
Working on the video as we speak. ;)
Looks like it should be strong jack shaft.
I hope so too.
👍
ارجال فنان مثلي 👍
Donn I have been meaning to comment about your wetting down your fresh hot welds. It is my understanding that doing so will embrittle the welds increasing the likelihood of premature weld failure. If you need to cool a weld down quickly then blowing compressed air over the weld is the best option apart from letting them cool naturally. Trying to help you, not commenting just to be critical.
As long as it's at black heat and not red heat, it's OK.
any rapid cooling - air or water - of hot welds isn't a great idea if you want to avoid brittleness and distortion. but it does depend on the alloy, more carbon = more risk
What alloy? This was built out of scrap and mild steel welding wire. What about the cold mig gas blowing into the weld pool? Comment on something you know about, and leave the welding to people who actually do it.
🤟Thunder!
Yeah!
лайк!
👍👍👍👍👍👏
👍🌷🌹👌👍🇮🇶
What's not to love about your video's?
Какие размеры шкивов и сколько мощностью двигатель
Hope you paint it before first use,and I'm meaning the whole mill not just what you made in this video
I will use it first and then paint it on the sawdust. :D I will actually use it first since I want to work out the bugs which it probably will have or has already that I don't know of. I will add and remove parts, cut and weld some more and then clean it all up and paint it. In the future. :D
Osea si fuera traducido en español seria bueno si..
1:02 haha😎
Hello what is the diameter of the pulley on engine and wheel.
Are you going to paint the sawmill?
Not in the nearest future, there's still probably modifications to be made and I want to thoroughly test it before any paint.
очень очень интересные у тебя видео
Have you got plans for this?
I have partial plans for it.
How can I get these?
Hi..donn . How many HP ur engine
you are the best , do you have video #21
Cheers! I'm working on shooting material for the video #21. Hopefully I'll get it uploaded in the end of this week. Stay tuned!
Donn
You should not weld without protective lenses. Even if you turn you head away, UV reflects of the surroundings, but you cant see it. However, it will still damage the retinas in your eyes. I worked as a fabrication welder, building industrial lifts, and my eyes got the UV itch, from other peoples welding reflecting back into my eyes.
I did some stick welding, many years ago, and, being a hot summer, took off my shirt. I got some nasty UV burn on my stomach, but definitely no tan, just blistering. Welding UV is nasty stuff!
How much do you have in your sawmill $$$ that is I'm fixing to build my own saw mill in August,my buddy said he can build 1 for 1200 dollars
I haven't calculated the overall cost for the materials yet (I do have all the receipts for the purchases etc) but 1200 $ sounds like a good deal if it's the total cost of the sawmill including both materials and labor, especially when new "brand" sawmills cost a fortune.
I built mine as he did , however it was new steel .Even with buying from Amish welding place (was A LOT cheaper getting steel from them then any other place as much as half the cost a foot plus 10% off that even if I got full sections) steel alone can easily run 500-800 just by itself for just a 4ft wide 6 ft tall 4 post carriage.Now I am including steel for my 20ft log bed also.The new 14hp Kohler engine runs about $500 (you can get new B&S 14hp for 400 too but I wanted Kohler) but as much as 1k depending on the greed of seller.Then the clutch is another 70-100. If you buy the band guide rollers thats another $250. The bearings could really cost depending on which brand/type you buy but there are cheap ones out there. I did not use tires I went with 18.75" band wheel pullies which will set you back at least 150 plus the B56 belts to go on them. So its very easy to sink $1500 into a band saw mill before even getting started building it, but then again when you see the prices of woodmizer/Northern/Cooks.... you really feel accomplished having built it yourself and get to use something you've built.It tends to help much better building it yourself when it comes to adjustments and running it. Dont forget about mix gas too if your using mig welder , that was $26 for each bottle swap out. I think I went through at least one and half bottles and 2 - 11lb spools which were about $30 each.
try duck thank ya sir for the information

Hola donn DIY
Hola!
9:41. When the hell did the word aluminum get an extra I put in it. It's Al-oom-I-num not Al-oo-min-E-um. I have been hearing this "alumunium" version of the word aluminum all over the place and it is annoying. It's like one person said it on the internet and now everybody seems to have adopted this way of saying a word that does not exist. It's things like this along with stuff like the No Child Left Behind program in our school systems nowadays, that are making our youth Dumber by the generation. Please people learn proper English and the proper way to enunciate words and don't try to embellish on or change the way things are in order to make them sound more scientific or cool. People don't sound cool or smart when you do this, it makes you sound stupid. Now I'm sure with the capabilities of being able to build a project like the one you're building here, you're not stupid. So quit being like the "sheeple" in today's society and please speak English the way it is phonetically to be heard.
It's been like that in Britain and Europe and Estonia (Donn DIY) since about 1865. It isn't a "hip" or cool way to pronounce it. It's the Way they have always pronounced it, in their culture. He'd sound odd saying it our way in his society. He would surely be allowing an "Americanization" to obsolete and mongrelize his native speech. We're fortunate enough he speaks, and jokes around, in a highly-functional English. The old joke goes-What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. And two languages? Bilingual. Well what do you call someone who speaks only one language? You call them American. Just sayin' No Child Left Behind could really help with that.
