- I have enjoyed making all 147 videos But It's time for me to hang it up. I hope that a few of my uploads were helpful or at least entertaining. This video demonstrates some of the problems associated with making lumber from logs and encourages everyone to save a bundle of $ before opening a saw saw mill operation.....
John, I first ran into you when searching on how to make a chain saw mill. The one I made like yours I have used over and over. I have used your various other videos for other projects. I think I speak for at least many hundreds of others in saying thanks for all your efforts and all you have done to educate and inspire all of us. Many thanks John, best wishes and good luck in all your endeavors.
molto interessante. ciao
deshellmon yep I like this as well

Love your videos!!
My life is better because of you.
So THANK YOU!!!! So much for sharing
John, thank you for your time and work to publish these videos. I have enjoyed many of them over the years and can assure you that you will be missed. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors, whatever they may be. May you find and enjoy the Presence and Peace of God in all you do... Blessings to you and yours...
Dear John, This is the first time I had the opportunity to watch your video. It gave me a great pleasure to witness your ingenuity. Take my hat off to you. It also make me sad to see your comment about that you are stopping the videos. Well, take great care and have a lovely retirement. God bless you Sir.
"if you're still watching this video you're a masochist too" lol, the best
Peppppppppeeppppppeppppepppèpepepp
That escalated quickly
this is brilliant. it doesnt have to be out of desparation.. its perfect for someone like me who wants to build small projects from logs i have milled myself. much more rewarding to see a piece you've made out of a tree vs pre-milled boards from a lumber yard! if you just want to build a rocking chair or jewelry box its not practical to buy a $30000 mill so this is just great!
It has been great to cross your path, much respect in all you do and thank you for keeping it real
please clamp that jig to the saw horses!!! watching it walk as you're cutting... that's a disaster about to happen.
Patrick Burns You look like Fabio and Patrick Swayze got together and had a gay kid who never cut wood, so nobody cares. Peace.

Light worker/ You say you wonder how women can breed with heterosexual men? Lmao...is there another way?
See his age? he is fine, why is everyone an Osha freak when they have never done any labor in their lives.
Another TH-cam Great is retiring, rats!! Thanks John for the years of educational, thought-provoking...and entertaining videos. :-) :-) :-)
norwoodzomboy Happy to make a difference
Thank's for the generous response... I thought I had run out of ideas. My house is on the North slope of Pine Hill and I am surrounded with hundreds of trees. However there is one place that gets plenty of sun so I decided to build a fire wood sun dryer on that spot. Hey wood is a renewable resource.
John Canivan Very interesting, you could make a short video from time to time, it doesn't have to be perfect! Inspired by your videos, I will try to build a solar air heater to keep a summer cabin dry (sometime...). We have a lot of sun during the summer in Finland (not so much during winter, heh). Many thanks for sharing your insights and inspiration! Cheers!

Chainsaws do NOT have a blade! They have a bar and chain. The chain, not the "blade" is what is sharp or dull.

John Canivan I couldn't hear him
Thanks, I made one and love the design. I woodwork and you saved me a lot of money by milling my own lumber for projects.
All the best John, thanks for sharing your projects with us your work was much appreciated.

take it easy mate
Clever simple concept, I'm impressed. I particularly like the carriage bolt on the far side of the bar.
UR smartern than a flock of geese. that is a cool idear
Thank you for sharing and good luck in all your future endeavors
HeavyDemir You are welcome Thank you

@@jasongranberry870 HOW do you repair a plastic handle show. Me on youtube .
Got a little sea sick with the camera shaking but it was worth it, great job. Proof of concept achieved.
Hi John... I have enjoyed all your videos, thanks for sharing them...
love it,,,,and I don't blame you sawed Lumber is easy to come by expensive chainsaws are not,,and so i would have stopped cutting as well,,no need in blowing up a good saw. I absolutely love the poor man's Sawmill,,and the video thank you for sharing my friend.
Scruffy, dirty old man, couldn't he have at the very least have combed his hair.
The device, I hesitantly call it, looked positively lethal. I just hope know one decides to copy his appalling contraption.
Not bad but I think You are better off with the Chinese knockoff of the Haddon lumbermaker. The one that bolts on a saw. They are like $20. on Amazon. You dont have to lift the log . Your base is kinda rickety. If you can only afford $15 for your Equiptment you wont have a tractor to lift a log with.
This is great! I've always done everything the hard way!😝
There 4 eye bolts and each bolt is 3.36 + tax that $15. just for the eye bolts. the wood is 3.64 for an 8' 2x4 and looks like we need at least 2 of them. This rig is now going to cost you $25. Inflation is eating us up!
I'm part of your club.
Necessity the mother of invention.
Thanks for the great video.
This was the first I've seen.
I've only been addicted to Utube for a year or so.
Tk cr. Some other comments make me think you've retired or died. Either way the best to you.
I have enjoyed your videos! You have been lots of help, and your efforts to take all the time to make these videos are appreciated! Thank you very much!
We made your poor boy chainsaw mill and it works well! Really, thanks lots.
that is cool as fuck....believe me my wheels are spinning....I would like to see you clamp down your gig however...
Thank you for taking time make video and share. Gave me basic understanding of were kinda start
the tip of the saw cuts the best and will speed cuts up drastically "advoko makes" did a great video on this simplifying it all
Ha ha nice job John.
Only problem I saw was your sled move not to safe any way to pin it so it doesn't move.
This is great and simple the way I like it, good job.
I think he's missing the tip of one of his fingers...I know a tree trimming guy and he also is missing the tip of one of his fingers.....hmmm..
You need to fix the wooden structure only due to during cuting process it is moving to aside pushed by chainsaw
Hey John. Carbide bits are the way to drill the guide bar. They're a bit more expensive but will go through the GB like a typical HSS bit drills aluminium!
On the rip chain vs a regular, I've used both a fair bit (see channel) and I don't think you're missing much. Way more important that it is sharp, as you said. Ok thanks for sharing. Peace, Bongo.
Must be a masochist he tried to chop his own head off how many times and missed laughing out loud and a little bit to myself
Thanks John for sharing your knowledge so freely. Best wishes.
Wow, Billy Bob Thornton has really let himself go!
Fionnlagh66 pfffthahahahahhahahahahahah
The worst video on milling with a chainsaw on TH-cam💚🇬🇧🌱
Best lubricant for drilling steel, bacon fat. Can't get any cheaper and it stays on the bit
Good video but the saw was loader than you speaking had to put earphones on just to hear what you was saying .
that looks dangerous. you need to anchor the frame to the sawhorses so it doesn't slide of the sawhorses.
thank you John, I love seeing the simple things in life, the how to's and what not, great video.
Thank you John for sharing what you know and have learned. I hope this channel will remain in place to memorialize your work and for those to reference in the days ahead who have not seen them. Best wishes and tip of the cap!
that camera is doing the hoppy hoppy grasshopper thing that is damn near nauseating. i hate when that happens.
Man, pleasa invest in an audio compressor limiter for your editing. We have got to keep turning the audio up and down every time you run the saw. Other than that a good helpful video, thanks for that..
It's a sad day for me. I always look forward to your videos. hopefully you can reconsider and give us some more as you feel up to it.
I have learned a lot from you over the course of the last few years and I appreciate it. Entertaining - yes, informative - yes, thought-provoking - yes.
Your wisdom will be missed in the TH-cam community.

having owned a older wood-mizer bandsaw I like this system it's simple and inexpensive and I can actually make one to cut a log 60 ft long. Can't do that on the other ones without buying expensive extensions.
Thanks for Sharing this simple system.
man..i wish my pro saw was only 500.00!!! my stihl 660 was almost 1000.00
Дєдушка молодець, придумав найпростішу конструкцію
What a creative and kind gentlemen you are to take the time to share your ideas with others! God Bless You!
Great idea and concept need clamps on the wooden holder sew log dont jump around
No shame in being a poor boy. Thanks for sharing, John! Super helpful video. Much appreciated.
well man, not trying to knock the design at all. but i must point out a serious risk here. and yes, i do have a degree in engineering. this idea in general is a great idea. but... the most burdened point on the device is where the saw is mounted. any and all pressure and/or kickbacks are gonna focus into that point. and the bolts are plenty strong enough. but the few cubic inches of board is a tragedy waiting to happen. i'd recommend adding a steel plate across the top and bottom of the board.
one more simple add on to ensure safe operation, would be to add a row of nails protruding through the board along the side of the log opposite of the clamps. just a small protrusion will ensure excellent gripping and prevent any slippage that could occur when dealing with uncut timbers.
hope my advice helps ya brother :)
I know the idea is not entirely practical practical. You should make an improved saw mill video.
i create lots of things outside and this is my next projekt thanks you are genius i subscribed and liked and i live in finland ... can you do part 3 plz🙄
Good luck to you sir! I am still using the differential controller on my solar hot water system that I purchased from you years ago! Take care!!
Kntryhart yes good luck, take care on you!
Kntryhart They are made to last but you may have set a new record,
I like your style dude. Definitely going to try this out. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
LOL masochist so if your Metro don't try this at home lmao..
Ingenious
Working with what's available
Hello, Great idea thank u for sharing. I would like to add 2 things. Attach the sled to the horses somehow someway, And the ends build ur 2+4s on the bottom so the logs can be longer. Keep up the good fight!
I used to have a blind death and dumb Barber but this guy has a mean Barber
This guy is a flipping genius so simple but so affective, the only thing I would change is using bolts to hold it into place and using a ratchet to tighten it up or use the peg bolts he's using and grab a bar that can go thru it for the tight fit
Looks like you're living into a full marijuana field
I like your channel you are a genius thanks for sharing 🍀🌲🌳🍂🍁🍃
I like the Jackson Pollack saw horses. Thanks for the video.
I don’t think you give yourself enough credit
my uncle made me one of these 35 years ago to build my own miny logg cabin. good video sir
You are a good guy. Respect, from Denmark.
Reminds me of Jim Ignatowski from Taxi
Good to see an old guy like me still doing good honest work. And teach people the tricks
Thanks for sharing, I like how simple it is
Awesome video! Keep them coming, I love your ingenuity.
John did you have a accident with white paint in the past?
awesome!! thank you very much for sharing! Have a great day!
+John Canivan
Cheers, I liked your candor.
The chainsaw its Horsacabana or Homelette?
Have really enjoyed your no BS vids, I built one of your Poor Boys mills and still have it outback, have sent your site onto a few mates who have done the same! So thank you so much for ALL of your efforts they have been a great source of info. I wish you all the best in the future! Thanks for all
Thank you Wane...
The frame holding the log to the supports is not bolted down - kind of dangerous !
good point
Can't hear you.
SPEAK LIKE YA GOT A SET!!!
speak up the chainsaw louder than you are.
Love this guy! 🤭😆
Great video
How many fingers does he have?....
i have been falling in love with this lifestyle. thanks brother
Your camera is set to high... I can't see
I dig your vibe my friend. You remind me of my dad and my grandpa all rolled into one. That mellow, old man knowledge. Thanks and keep up the great work dude.
Don’t mind the haters. They hate us cause they ain’t us.
TH-cam is circulating your video that’s how I just watched your little invention work simple you just really have simplified the process thanks for sharing I hope to hear from you God bless Ken. I’m also new to your community
Wow !! I like your simple design partner!! I’ll make one !! Thank You for your help!!
First part of video looks like he's missing his right arm......made me leary of the mill.....lol
ha
you should clamp the base to the saw horses
Where is John's FINGER HOLY HELL LOOK AT THAT RIGHT HAND WOW
JOHN, YOU SHOULD HAVE FASTENED YOUR FRAM TO YOUR SAWHORSES USING ANGEL IRON TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING WHILE YOU'RE CUTTING. FURTHER YOU SHOULD MOUNT A PUSH HANDEL ON YOUR MOUNT NEAR THE SAW HEAD SO YOU'RE NOT RELYING ON JUST THE SAW HANDEL AND PREVENT IT FROM BREAKING. I THINK THESES MOD'S WILL HELP YOU CUT FASTER AND SAFER!
He looks like Trevor from gta but older
thanks the video shed a whole new light on sawmills for me.
I am a true Masochist.... with all fingers still attached. Now I've met your Machine for masochists.
This is awesome! What a great and fairly simple / straightforward way to make a saw mill! I'm gonna guess those saw horses were used during a painting project?? Lemme guess, John's house is WHITE!! If I ever realize my dream of building a small log cabin, THIS is EXACTLY the method I want to employ to prepare the logs.
Thanks John. Believe I will try your jig before I pay a bunch of money on the model that requires a trailer and a tractor with forks to lift the log. TH-cam needs more guys like you teaching us stuff. Remember when "This Old House" first started out with Bob Vila? They did remodels on houses the average working stiff could afford Nowadays they are for rich yuppies who end up paying $500,000 and up. For a remodel.
Informative and easy to replicate, but DUDE, that was painful to watch..
Please, rehearse your videos, write a script even, talk a bit faster, edit your vids a bit more, (we know how to turn a bolt, don't need to see you do it for 30 seconds or perhaps add a T-bar to the screw eye to speed up the turns), and clamp that rig to your tressels before you hurt yourself..! Geez..
Now, that's a bloody worry mate. With the best respect I can muster...give it in, before it does you in. If you don't, look out for the OHS police, they got a thing for blokes like you.
Great video...
First 30 seconds...
I started watching and thought he only had one arm..
Thought "Yeah... Cool"...
Grabbed my beer and looked back...
WTF... !!!!
Started again and realised his right arm was folded behind his back...
Not sure if it's an accident or on purpose for fun/shock factor... lol
Again.... GREAT VIDEO...
This is the first I have seen of you.
May I suggest you invest in some C- clamps to hold everything from sliding around.
Is this similar to what they call an Alaska saw mill?
Why not bolt the saw frame to the horses?
awesome.bud nice and simple and works genius really
necessity is the mother of invention!
I like your videos and I always learn something new. :-D
Jamie Grand Thank you I get joy out of helping people but it;s becoming more difficult to express myself.
Thank you for posting. Your design is the best one I've seen so far.
For fun, it's great 👍
