- Datsun 1200cc powered dual blade portable sawmill makes short work of this douglas fir tree I cut down on my property in Nelson NZ.
Thinking of building your own sawmill? I made a video showing this mill in close up detail here - • Video
I bet it drives the angry ram nuts that there is a fence that keeps him from attacking the sawmill! Beautiful sawmill by the way! Smart and interesting design!
Yes, I used to let him in the yard to mow my lawns but he kept using the teeth on the blade to scratch his head & I was worried he'd bend it, so he stays out now
Buddhanz1 LOL. Now that's funny.
And I would love to see how that sawmill was built, as that's a project I plan on taking on before too long.
Well if this isn't the 'slickest' lumber cutting I've ever seen,...Well done for sure,....
like they said below,...can;t beat those Datsun engines,..also can't beat the 'technology' used in building this sawmill.
Good video,...I enjoyed this. Thanks
What you are doing is what my father and myself dream to be doing and plan to after 2 more years of saving. Keep posting videos, i absolutely love and learn from them.
Ps, god bless.
Mina Bekheet saliyb and you profile picture has someone flipping someone off. this guy says God bless you
Simply ingenious and perfectly effective! Two disc saws make abt 6x less sawdust comparing to a chainsaw mill. Not to mention ugly chain problems= oiling+sharpening them. Bandsaw mill cuts pefect wide boards, but for common construction purposes 2by4"s are those of massive demand. Congrats on great idea!
Simply awesome. Best homebuilt idea on this whole damn web!
That is a fone piece of machinery, it's so humbling to that people still have the skill and knowledge, in the uk there's not many inventive craftman anymore, it's all about speed and money, good job.
im totally impressed. Ive been looking at band mills for quite some time now. Your mill has sold me on the idea . GREAT JOB
My favorite part of this video is when he steps on the log throughout the process of milling it! I got a crack out of it, but a great set up you have here. There is great potential in this machine.
Wow, really a smart idea.
You are a smart man. That can translate ideas into finished products.

Impressive! I too, find watching timber being milled in this way very therapeutic; something useful created from a hefty raw product, an on-the-spot value-added activity if you like! Col, Bay of Islands.

That is an awesome mill, good idea . You must be a smart fella. Slick working . Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding. I've finally got a decent home wood shop and was impressed when I learned how to use the ding dang planer. Your mill is off the charts cool.
Wow this makes so much sense. Bandsaw mill is great for wide boards, i never use wide boards. I also like that it does not need to be adjusted each time, simply scoot over and cut another 2x4. Pretty cool!
Great video, great sawmill, great lumber! I'm so impressed with the mill! Even with my adoration of everything mentioned, I couldn't take my eyes off of the ram when he was in frame. I really expected him to do something stupid (being a ram) but he was as interested in your work as I was. Thanks for posting and the link!
This lumberjack has his own sawmill station..all in one!!👍👍👍
This is the coolest sawmill machine I've seen
Good gosh … the scenery you have from your sawmill !
Man you must be the happiest logger on this planet ! …
Congrats … Nonetheless you should have filmed a longer shot of the scenery so that we all could be jealous of you !!!…
Thanks for sharing.
How in the hell are there 9 people who don't like this ? Great job !
Jealous tree huggers. this mill is great.
Wow some of the best ideas n the world come from backyard geniuses ha. Thatsa nice machine
Man that saw is incredible. I could watch that thing cut wood for hours ! Lol Great video.
Oddly satisfying watching this saw.
The best diy mill i have seen. Well done.
Hi maybe two years late but thats a awesome machine never seen anything like it great invention.
this is exactly what i need. looking at several out of the box but this is the one.
You're a bloody genius! Love it!
Very smart or clever made. I just love the concept. Thank you for sharing your video
You certainly dominate timber. Great videos. Thanks.
I love it man, thanks. I really think this is a great idea, this is two machines in one, acctually is 3 in one because you don't need to keep turning the log all the time, once the log is in place you will cut untill the end. I am impressed.
Stranger, you have it all figured out. That timber is beautiful, I can almost smell the saw dust from my sofa! God's country for sure. Thanks for all the interesting videos, By the way Ramcam is brilliant.
Very good. Very clever. Two blades, one horizontal and one vertical. Two cuts completing each other. One movement!
sensational, love your work. you make it look so easy and take all the hard work out well done
That is a great little mill. It works awesome.
Nice job, it's amazing what a man can build with thinking.
Found your videos by accident. Love the milling you do and subscribed. Awesome job. Never thought about a mill like this one. Might have to attempt building one myself. Thanks for the vids. Three Rivers Michigan U.S.A. here.
Thanks for watching & subscribing.
Cheers. Marty, New Zealand
Bloody beautiful machine your a genius.
I didn't build it, but yes it is a fantastic little mill.
Damn! Wish I had one of those at my place. Great little goers the Daddo motors! Well done :-)
I would love to build one like this. Would you mind doing another video showing close ups of each part and give an explanation of the controls. Awesome machine.
Friggin awesome. I live in the Northwest, I could really use one of these.
thats more board feet than id thought ud get. love the mill! kind of makes me wish we had trees around here, so i could build one of these things :)
That's ingenious, great job
Man like this one looks fast easy and safe. Not so much log rolling.
I saw a similar mill when I was in NZ during the National Field Dasy (I think that's what it's called) in Hamilton I believe back in '99. Pretty slick machines.
Very smart machine. Thank you!
Bad ass man, that's awesome. Good work! Cheers
Fantastic mate, wish that was in my back yard
this is awesome, keep up the great work
I was not looking for this but it was interesting too c thnx
Greetings from the Netherlands
You're a clever fella.................... brilliant
Sweet machine.
Excellent recovery.
amazing piece of equipment
Can you do more videos of the saw mill maybe even like a explanation vid of how it works? I'm sure everyone here would love to see it.
I sure would.
you're a genius man! I love it!
Well done, I love to see you at work, You must love what you do?
Awesome setup!
Insanely brilliant
I rather like this setup--you're cutting lumber to its' nominal size in one pass!
Mate! How good is that 'eh? A machine which is home made that would do anything a commercial model would and probably more. And I like the useful size timber you cut. So many people just seem to cut board but I wonder what they hell they do with them all? Surely they don't still build weatherboard houses do they?
The stuff you cut is much more practical to my mind.
The way you can do a finished piece in one pass is fantastic. So efficient. I like the way you even cut the thin spacer sticks for stacking the wood at the end.
Sweet as Bro, that's a top job for sure Cuz! I wish I had your skills and abilities.
Nice setup, and nice flatbed. I put a 7 spring stack on the rear axle and now fill the inside of the lumber rack full of logs. While I don't believe this is the best way to mill lumber--it's very efficient. Props to you.
+Big Dan Cheers big Dan, yeah chainsaw milling is hard work and not the most efficient method but sometimes it's the easiest way when the log is big and the track is narrow
well done!! you,re a genius!
Wonderful machine. Saludos!!
Datsun powered - genius!
Sweet set up 👍
I would love that sawmill if I had big enough trees to mill. Wow
I have to say that is one sexy saw mill.
straight genius
somehow,,, I found this very relaxing,,,,
Nice work!
Hey man, you don't fuck around. Nice stuff :)
you sir are a genius
Great mill......Love that there is no handling of the log...Most mills your constantly flipping the log... Wondering how the horizontal blade is attached? Welded? It would need to be flush to slide across the face of the log....Excellent design.
The horizontal blade is secured using 4 recessed bolts with internal hex drive, this keeps it flush
That is the way to make a video. Didn't have to listen to all the crap to see how it works. Good Job.
SO FREAKING COOL!
Hey...Nice mill ..Nice video can you tell us why your mill can cut in both directions when other mills only cut in one thanks for sharing
Rollerr Walker Thanks. I keep the teeth sharp and don't try to push it too hard on the return pass
Cool I Didn't see where you live at
Rollerr Walker I'm in Nelson, New Zealand.
O ook mate I'm in Georgia USA
Rollerr Walker Most mills use a bandsaw blade which only has cutting teeth along one edge. A circular blade can cut in both directions.
cool video man
That is awesome!
Great mill thanks
Two words.....Ep-Ic!
Really nice!
Lol, your best mate was waiting at the gate.
Great now can you show us how to BUILD one of these "twin" blade mills? Please
Got plans, or more detailed pictures? I would really like to build one.
Very Sweet, I want 1 ;-)
Nice Hinge!
Nice work
Damn, This is when i realized how much wood goes into a house
What keeps the final or small part of the log from moving with the blade? What keeps the last cut from moving and losing the true flatness of the board? Thanks, nice video.
Legend, Nice one
First time I've seen 2+4s made..
that's a nice setup you've got there. can you tell me how thick the sapwood is on a douglas fir that's about 450 in diamater? I'm thinking about cutting a bunch of them down near my place and pretty much just peeling off the non durable sapwood with my neighbour's mill so I can use it outdoors - just not sure if it's going to be worthwhile. by the looks of the one in your video the sapwood is only about 5cm thick?
Watch that foot placement. Other wise, cool sawmill.
Good video, Thanks.
Thanks for watching
very nice!
What width planks does it cut? This looks like the most productive setup I've seen! Once cutting starts you have a finished rough 2 x 4 or what ever the size it is. Just needs planing if you don't want rough lumber. How long is the finished plank maximum?
Max board size is 7.5 metres long x 250mm(10inch) x 150mm(6inch)
only for a specific size/cut but it's nice and efficient
Nice job
Quite the bush engineer.
what size is the vertical blade, how many teeth, center bore size and speed. the same for the horizontal blade. where did you find horizontal blade hub. going to be putting a mill together soon but in process of locating the components
THATS BAD ASS
Sweeeet! Feel free to embed your videos on our homemade tools forum; looks like you're one of us :)
