First Cuts On the Homemade Bandsaw Mill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2021
- I woke up this morning really excited to try my sawmill for the first time but very anxious to know if it was going to work. Myself and dot towed it up to the wood pile and made out first 5x5 post and a load of slabs for the top workshop. next week i will be milling timber all week for the greenhouse.
Enjoy

I'm not much of a 'handyman' type, but I find all your videos immensely engrossing and I also find your personal manner very calming and relaxing. I'm especially looking forward to seeing that handsome greenhouse finished, but there's always something interesting whatever it is. Thank you very much for all your effort in making your life accessible to us.
Nicely said buddy :)
Thank you :) And you are welcome
You are without a doubt one seriously talented dude,the planets a better place with people like you👌🏴
Well said & go0d on you!
Apart from that Diesel engine =), surely Kris has the skills to take the power from thin air.
@@meditationwithjake Lol yeah.
I think diesel engines for this use are not the issue with fossil fuel usage in the world today and nor will they ever be. We all know where the real issue with fossil fuels are. I'm sure he mentioned some veg oil getting used though....either way I think the engine is a fine choice :)
@@Chris-fz5oe You Clearly never caught onto the Joke.
And just like that every farmer around you is now your best friend
And now he might get a decent supply of lumber in return for the services of his sawmill. Not to mention some of the useful junk that farmers tend to have in plentiful supply.
@@naiknieh This, my neighbour has a 60x40 shed with approximately 10-15 conical piles 10ft high of random metal parts, boat parts, tractor parks, Alaskan mill parts, chainsaw parts, honestly any time I encounter a 40-50 year old piece of machinery with a broken part that no one makes anymore I go there and usually find it, covered in rust of course, but enough to be able to rebuild the part and have it work properly again. He's an older man, raised poor during the depression, doesn't throw a damn thing away.
No limit on your talents fella, that smile alone says how much you enjoyed this one.
Great job credit to you
You must go home at night, sit in front of the fire and laugh and laugh and laugh at your own brilliance. You are amazing. xx
😁
You truly are one of the most amazing and intelligent humans on the planet. For sure..great job!!! Thank you for sharing it!! You honor the trees in all you do, and it's beautiful to see. Thank you Kris.
In the upcoming world we need persons like you!
Is there another world coming up? No one told me!
Morning kris.just having my breakfast and watching u making the harp! What can i say youre from another planet! Such a gifted guy! God give u strength and health as we say in meditterranean.🙂
I could have spent four grand , worked flat out for six months , not slept for a year and worried till I died and still wouldn’t have anything that resembled a saw mill , let alone anything that actually cut wood ...brilliant ..
That grin when you measured the angle was really something :)
Woohoo ! I think my smile was nearly as big as yours when you gave the thumbs up Kris.
The comments say it better than me. All I can say is RESPECT ✊🏻 thanks for letting us lesser mortals follow your skill.
"It's a joyful thing to make something like this and use it!" ....... A philosophy for life!
16:16
What an achievement! I can only imagine how usefull that mill is for you. Next up is a drying shed for all your nice Beams and bords ;) looking forward to the greenhouse builds now that the mill is finished. Cheers
Yeah he has set up a Lovely life for him & family, It is a nice thing to see once & in a While. I do not see many of these young men like him,but hey Hats of for him.
Only Kris Harbour can by solving a spacing issue. using railway sleepers, turn an industrial saw mill, into the deck of a super yacht. Lovely stuff Kris. looking forward to seeing what you make now you have this beast at your disposal.
@Kris... Oh my gosh! You are absolutely freaking me out! You built this yourself , wenching logs on it and all! Get out of town! I'm a 54 year old woman , laying in bed , in Tennessee USA , 9pm. And watching with my jaw dropped in amazement. Where did you come from Kris? You are an old soul in a young body. This is awesome! You should be so proud of yourself!
Me after four years of waiting for the Snyder cut 🍴, hold on Kris is cutting wood, priorities!!! Just brilliant!!!!!
Your -smile- grin (like a Cheshire cat), at the end says absolutely everything 😁
What i love most when watching your video's is the size of your smile at the end of a project. well done, have a cider on me bud
Dear Kris Harbour.
👍👌👏 Absolutely fantastic! Even more because you painted it British racing green! ;-) I love nearly everything that is green. By the way: A just realized that your excavator, van and post hammer device are green too. All you have to do now is paint the tractor green. ;-) Congratulations! With a few modifications you will be even more happy with the result. That sawmill is another big project you can be very proud of, no doubt about that! I'm really grateful that we didn't have to wait to see it cutting until next weeks video release. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Not often i come to the end of a video on UA-cam, and I find myself just sitting there smiling. Great Job and looking forward to many more videos like this one.
Well done kris. you can see how proud and happy, you are. What a product to build, and the enjoyment, you will get from using it. Unbelievable talent.
3:56 There you have it folks: The emergence of the Harbour Panzer Green Theme... Congrats Kris, well done !
Amazing, amazing, amazing! You are the 21st centuries Leonardo Devinci. The talent, skill, tenacity and sheer determination is more motivating that you know. A new hope for mankind.
Glad to see someone else does their thinking and problem solving at 2am while staring at the ceiling
I’ll bet you were grinning ear to ear when it all came together and worked!!
😁
" Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.." ; Well done Kris I bet you are chuffed with that result.
Those who have never done will never fully comprehend. Good job Kris, you have every right to be stoked = )
I was a welder/ fabricator for over 40 years and from watching the video I think that you done a fine job here 👍
It's either time or money. Spending time allows you to build exactly what you want. No greater feeling then building something and having it work first go. Saw mill looks like it's going to work perfect! Nice job.
Just one other thing... here is an amazing piece of technology complete with a welly and a bucket!
How exciting! Like many talented, creative people, you underestimate your skills. They may be God given, but they're still talents that many of us do not have. Congratulations, Kris.
Nothing like seeing a grown man smile while playing with his new toys lol. great job as always kris
Congratulations Kris. Incredible achievement.
i have watched this about 3 times now and one of the best parts of this posting is that you is so happy with it as i said in my first comment. i am so glad for you and know that this is a big moment on your homestead....
I am also over the moon Kris. A lot of hard work, mentally and physically. You've done your self proud!!!
You are indeed a very talented man! You are inventive, thinking in solutions. I’am very proud to be an Parteon!
Your life is inspiring and you are really talented 👍🏼
A word of friendly advice to all commenters. Whatever you do don’t tell Kris what he is building won’t work. You will lose every single time! 🤣🤣
Top job as usual! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think what I like about your videos is they are so calm, no stupid music, no swearing almost always, you are so confident in what you are doing, seeing Dot now and then always helps as she too is always calm and confident if a little camera shy, always enjoyable and always look forward to the next one, I would only ask that you don't cut out so much so they are longer.
Spectacular!
After the emotion in your voice when you lost the wind turbine it's great to see you happy and proud again, great job with the Mill it's amazing.
Blows me away how much you and Dot are able to build and get done. So many cool projects and now a working sawmill, awesome!
Well done Kris, you can hear the pride in your voice.... Another Barnes Wallace moment :-)
I could never build something like that. I hope you had a tall glass of cider when you got home because you earned it.
Great job with this 👏 👍
It's amazing how this project came together. At first I had no understanding of what you wanted to build. Totally love it!
thanks for your enthusiasm and sympathy. good job. you are strong. thanks for letting us participate.
Bravo!
I wish more people were like you that would make the world a better place.
I've watched you make some amazing things on this channel and this is right up there with them. What a useful piece of kit. Brilliant to see it make it's first cut. Keep that first slab, sign it and put it up on the workshop wall. It will make your heart happy every time you see it, especially as you get older. Well done Kris.
Brilliant... Well done Kris!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! When tech is sufficiently advanced, it is indistinguishable from magic. You have committed advanced magic!!!
What a great sight when you stick your thumb up.......all the hours you've put into a project like this, is summed up with that simple gesture. I felt your sense of elation and pride, and by God you should feel proud. What you've achieved and keep on achieving is something we all could take notice of. You must have Amish genes in you somewhere.
Dude, that grin at 12:28! I hope you realize how many people's day you made with that!
Nothing gives me more pleasure on UA-cam than watching you with your endless skills. So impressive I don’t know where to start.
Is there a Kris Harbour fan club ??
Keep doing what you do 👍👍👍
You deserve to be seriously pleased with yourself. I could watch you doing that all day. Well done.
'OUT OF THE WOODS', YT is a perfect channel for you to watch. Nathan, is a mine of information on everything saw milling.
The video we've all been wanting... Great job 👍🏻
Massive success Kris, congratulations
WONDERFUL!! I'm as pleased as if I'd done it myself! I can't stop grinning!
I could say that I'm impressed, but I have watched you long enough to know that when you decide to do something it's going to be perfect. This is no exception. Thanks for sharing your talents my friend. God bless you.
This is so exciting to watch. I cant imagine what your feeling with this project complete and operational.
you're (you are feeling)
Self sufficiency at it's finest, nicely done Chris. Enjoy your fruits of your labor 💪🤩👍
Kris, this is magical. I can only imagine how good this day must have felt! I watched the whole build series for your mill, and am so impressed with your skills and cool ability to deal with problems that arise. Well done!
I should also thank you: I am subscribed to 439 YT channels (excessive?), but you remain one of the handful of people I return to regularly for the inspiration to do some of the things I'm dreaming about. My dream has some differences from yours (and I'm older, and have less time to get it all done), but is very similar in some ways. I had stopped watching you for a while--got distracted by other things. It's nice to come back after a time to see that the things you've dreamed about are actually working. You're showing the world that these things are possible, and you're truly making a difference.
P.S. I think the mill needs a cool paint job--like a shark's mouth over the blade, big flames, or something equally tacky? ;)
What an amazing result Kris. The birth of a new family member that will give you years and years of service. So glad I was here at the beginning 👍
your positivity and joy radiate from this video, incredible achievement, hope you had a cider to celebrate. Don't be using it for a haircut mind! lol
You are really one if the most inspiring people on youtube! Well done!
strangely I find myself more impressed that you built the saw mill than your own home, electrical supply and workshop, well done man
You did an awesome job mate! I bet you are proud, and rightfully so!
I'm glad to see you so proud of your work, you should be! Really impressive work, well done.
You look chuffed to bits and so you should be! Excellent stuff. We're chuffed to bits for you! That look of glee on your face is priceless. A job well done is very satisfying.
12:29. That smile tells it all. Thanks for sharing your work Kris. Best wishes from 🇮🇪
Well done, Kris. You have my total admiration. Keep up the great work!
Man, you look soooo happy at the end of this clip. I hope youll remember that moment, some other time when things are a bit dull or hard. The things you do are so valid, it always cheers me up to follow.
People regret not what they've done but what they haven't done. So keep building it you want to, no matter how crazy people say it sounds.
Fantastic Kris - you must be so pleased after so many hours of design and construction.
That's an interesting digger in the background. It would be interesting to see a 'will it run?' sort of video about it, if you plan to restore it.
exactly my thought when i saw the excavator in the video! a very old but absolutely robust machine ! 👍👌🤝
A push bar across the carriage so you are getting even pressure on the carriage would help.
Simply Awesome Kris . The smile on your face says it all. I am sure this machine will serve you well. Cheers Ade.
Thanks Ade, And thanks for your help with it. the rollers are working great.
A tip of the hat to Ade's workshop! Great work and wonderful to see your efforts turn out so well for another!
Your channel is the only one I always follow, since you built your first roundhouse. Entertaining and relaxing. Just great.
Glad to see how Kris is happy with his sawmill made by his hands from scratch! Great!
Wonderful stuff. The look on your face at the end their, beaming with pride, is priceless.
Hi 👋🏻 Kris. Your face is an absolute picture full of excitement 😊 Glad Dot was watching you too 🤩
Is there anything this guy can’t build?! Bravo Kris.
That's a build to be proud of!
This is mega to see it in action, top work mate! Like so many have already said it's amazing to see how far you've come when you think that you started with some fields and woodland. Shows what can be done with a lot of hard work and the tenacity to make things happen yourself.
I only found you a while ago. Seriously impressed with not only your skills but also your attitude, You remind me of Heath Robinson except your creations actually work, and perfectly. I'm enjoying going through your videos immensely. Thanks mate, it's heart warming to see the way you and your friends blend tradition with the 21st cent. I worked in the music industry and always maintained that if Beethoven had seen a synthesiser he would have used it. You are the same. Keep it coming Kris, May your love for what you do never leave you. Respect!
Unbelievable . I said to myself l will watch for 20 mins 😂and 4 hours later l need to go to bed . The projects you take on and achieve are amazing . All the best .
A sweep by the sawdust side wheels will be beneficial so the dust doesn't build up and change the cut distance.
Paint your brand of "Harbour Mills" on it.
The bucket and welly are surprisingly effective at catching sawdust!
16:55 a nice almost-full bin of sawdust... no build-up on the ground as one would typically see with a mill like this. Top notch for sure!
Kris people of often know the price of everything but the value of nothing! Kudos to you. There is no substitute for the pleasure of having built it yourself.
I literally just was finishing your last video and got this notification. Right on time
That’s a hell of an engineering achievement and it’s great to see it turn out so well, there must be a lot of satisfaction in producing your own timber. Well done 👍
Most people dont realize how satisfying it is to build something yourself and be able to use it vs spending money on something someone else built. Keep doing what your doing there will always be haters out there being negative
I can tell by the smile on your face you enjoy your work, your very good at it, I enjoy your video`s very much.
It is heartwarming to see all your hard work pay off and the translation from vision to reality, I always enjoy watching your vids!
What an absolutely outstanding achievement! Congratulations!
Haven't read all the comments , what I am about to suggest may already have been suggested. As a 15year old laddie,(1955), I worked in a woodyard, my job was removing the bark from the sticks,(trees), these would be used for the pit props. the machine used for this purpose would eject the peeled bark through an outlet similar to your sawdust extracter.at the end of the funnel were three hooks welded onto the outside of the funnel, by hooking on a hessian sack to these three hooks we collected the majority of the peeled bark with little spillage, you might want to consider this. By the way , I cannae drive a nail in straight , maybe that is the reason I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all of them.
Sawmill Coup d'état....you're away now Kris...well done mate
The first cut is the deepest .... deepest joy! Well done Kris!!! ❤️
Baby I know !
