I just want y'all to know that I love what y'all are doing and your family has inspired me to make my little 5 acre farm the best it can be. Thank you so much for what y'all do and may God keep blessing your family!
Zach: this is an "Inserted tooth" blade. The individual teeth have numbers on them which correspond to their size. I have two blades, Simmons 52" ers, sitting in my shop. Tried to salvage a complete Farquar sawmill from the 40's several years ago. Got the blades and a few parts before metal thieves got the rest. Use Diesel fuel and a whetstone to clean up the rust. Can't wait to see it run .
Sure hope you lifted the re-bar off the ground before they poured the concrete . Also , when a set of new teeth are installed , try a very slight side dressing on the saw for a smoother finish , nice looking toys , good luck with ig
Congrats, I just posted a video of my bandmill a few weeks ago. Love working the mill. but it is alot of work. Yes the rust will wear off quick with the milling running again. If I may I would suggest a cheap metal detector to scan the logs before cutting. Nails and bullets are heck on the blade teeth. I have gotten where I will not cut yard logs at all, yet we still have the tree stand builder that has to use ten times the nails needed. Cant wait to see it run.
with that cedar planking, if youre handy with joinery you can make cedar hotubs with minimal input from other materials like tension wire and wrought iron banding. retail prices for a 5ft tub run 4k-6k.
I was curious when you said that you were going to be cutting red cedars. Here in the Pacific NW we have western red cedar that the Native Americans use to make baskets and hats, etc I know a little about stripping the bark off the trees and coiling it up to cure for six months or so before you use it. Which, if you harvested it now, you could be ready to work it after the garden has gone to sleep, canning is done, etc. It could be something to enter in the fair, sold or used around your house. IF it is the same kind of cedar, lol
Oil please. lightly. Its going to be a great addition to your homestead. Well looked after it will work for generations. neglect it. it in the weather and will be gone in less than three years. also a word of advice. Use a metal detector on your logs before milling begins.
+Calo Q. Oh yeah, we are going to be greasing everything. The blade should shine up nicely once its running. We are going to be building a shelter over the top of the mill. Also we have a metal detector. :)
Can you send me the part type for that keyed female coupler to male / amy idea where it came from. I also have an m-14 and am trying to find that coupler.
Everybody is getting into YT saw mills now. Hope you have 5+ gallons of WD40 and get all that rust worked off that old machine, then 5+ gallons of grease and get all the parts lubed up. Lets see what you are going to cut.
An American Homestead the rust actually should not come off.....with lead in the saw the board being cut and the cant on the carriage shouldn't touch the sides of the saw blade only but for a second during the first part of the cut
Thank you

I guess I should have watched this one first. Answered my questions on the other vid.

Great video i would love to see some videos of this being put together

Great video, thanks. I do love to see the cooking/homemaking videos that your wife does. Any good family recipes etc?
+sarax001 She is going to do a video in Season 3 about bread making. :)
so lucky with inserted teeth....our FB had solid tooth, I just had swedge and file flashbacks!
remember level and square makes a Sawyer. take it from someone who grew up doing this type of work.

+Mary Stewart Nope, these are eastern red cedars.

Anybody have a clue? Bc I would love to have protection for the tractor end. Talked to a machine shop. They quoted me 8k and 8-10 week lead time.
I would try and spread the parts out a little further apart from each other
Hahaha!

Just found your channel. Are you making any money with the m-14?
belsaw is actually timberking. new name same company.
How long is the Belsaw track? Noticed only 5 legsets instead of 6
Do you have any idea what black walnut sells for? I have a couple hundred of them growing.
Look up Broadhead Service & Machine on facebook they hammer saw blades.
+Banner Boy Thanks! I may need that someday...right now I'm looking for a matching shank 3-9 gauge.
do you have any experience running a saw mill?
I am looking for sawmill like that?do you know any one has one?
stuff that chain in a tub of oil and let it soak.

+John Lord The rust will come off the blade with the first log.
+An American Homestead HA! you cutting sand(al) wood or iron wood ... and so will the teeth, the blade nut, the main rod, and bearings .... DDDDDDD

Homestead, what a joke ! You can't even mix a few bags cement with some gravel to pour two small slabs !! What a f###ing joke !!
