I think I'll just knock a bandsaw mill up. You amaze me with your skill set Kris and I could watch you all day. keep em coming mate
I'm not here to learn to build anything, I'm just here to watching in amazement at what ONE man can achieve and do on his own if you really put your mind to it.
I have been watching you all your life. I finally have to say. I like the way your brain works. We need more young people like you in this world.
Morning Kris, You could just run a second fuel tank, One for diesel start and finish, prime for start. Then when it's warmed up switch over to Veg.
damn Bill you beat me to it ha ha.
@@livingladolcevita7318 and me lol.
That's the ideal scenario, but it needs modification to the engine (albeit a minor one).
Zzź
sick! all these cool projects going on with so much cool stuff yet to come (sauna, timber framed house, upstairs metal workshop with carlift, secondary stream diversion for higher flow hydro nozzles etc.)
can't wait for all those videos to get released eventually. thank you kris for this quality EDUCATIONAL entertainment! :)
You've basically saved lockdown here, such a quality setup. When lockdown's over I owe you about 10 beers!
Always a great day when you post Kris.
Congratulations on getting all the bits and bobs sourced and gathered for the saw mill. Knowing you Kris, the time it’ll save will be spent before it’s counted. You are a font of creativity. Your channel offers inspiration, ingenuity and practical applications for both.
Best to Dot!

by its wonderful to watch you kris i wish i was 20 years younger id be up there helping thi
Kris, Matt Cremona on his TH-cam channel built a trailer and built a homemade trailer "rotisserie" to turn the trailer. Worked out great and he kept it mounted through build, paint, wiring. Might take a look and consider it.
Love what you do. You have a lot of talent. I had a thought about the fuel for the engine. You may have come up with the same idea in the next episodes. How about 2 tanks? 1 with only pure diesel and one with bio. Then you can put a tap in to switch between them. Start it on pure, switch to bio then back to pure at the end of the day to flush the boi out before storing :)
I live in B.C. Canada and it’s 8:20 am here. I will be saving this vid for when I’m done work and settled in with a nice pint of Guinness. Kris, thank-you for all your quality videos.
Just seeing this for the first time, that's awesome!
Your vids can make any day better. Thanks!
Love your channel Kris (my absolute favourite) but what I love the most is how you completely melt and loose it when you see your cat 🤣💕Tells me you’re a good man. Keep up the great work.
Wow he lifts that huge metal himself. Should join strongman Comp.
add a secondary diesel tank for start and warm up then switch to veg for run, nice job
Really looking forward to seeing how you tackle the saw head part of it. Blows me away to see you thinking and making. Proper engineering.
Your knowledge and drive amaze me...so impressive and honest. You are willing to share your insights and you are not afraid to show the reality of your work. Thank you for your kind, clean and genuine language...it is refreshing to hear a gentleman speak in their work environment.
I love your knee/spark protection
Use wooden post it's easier on blade.
Put turn bolt at end of pipe for clearance
Great work but PLEASE watch your back, friend!
Cheers from Sweden!
Evolution have made quality saws for cutting steel for years.
Really looking forward to the weather getting better! Can‘t wait for seeing everything blooming again :)
If I didn't live on the other side of the pond I'd come over every day and work with you you're one smart little guy I love it and I saw mill that's going to work out just fine. Keep up the good work
You’ve proven many times that you can do whatever you set your mind to. When people talk about “kids nowadays”, I put a stop to it because there are many who have wonderful work ethics. You are one of them. You obviously like to use your mind and problem solve your way to your goal. I admire you. I love watching and learning from you. Thanks for a great video!
If there's one person I'd like to learn how to make a diy bandsaw from it is you Kris. Perfect timing 👍
Glad to see you turn the chassis over with brains not brawn.
After a hernia from being pig headed i learnt the hard way.
I'll hopefully copy your mill this summer,,, save some $$$...on an island off the coast of Maine!
Put the bolts in vinegar next time to remove the galvanizing. The welds will be better and you probably save some of your health. Thanks for sharing all of your work with us. I appreciate it
Thank you for continuing to be a bright spot, in dreary times.
Even though these projects look overwhelming, your editing makes all of them look doable. ;)
Just total respect for your skill and practicality. As an old fart who carves wood and loves the natural environment you give me hope for the future of our land. Thank you for sharing your ideas and craftsmanship.
I have been planning this build for a while. When I'm done with my tiny house, cottage I'm going to start. Thanks for awesome videos!
Kris please use a bottle of each avocado, sunflower, and grade seed oils, and see which one is better. These three are the only ones anyone should cook with at high temperatures, because all others are compromised at those temperatures. I think any of either of these three will perform much better for you in any of you vegetable oil ran engines, and I’d like to know whether that is the case or not.
Love bandsaw mill builds. Have watched several on TH-cam. Looking forward to the rest of the series and the first time you mill lumber with it.
Thanks for posting and sharing. This look looks like a great addition to your homestead.
Amazing - as usual - Kris. It was a real thrill to find your latest post this morning here in NZ. You never cease to amaze me with your skills and listening to you talk about all the other projects you have on the go... it's mind boggling. I love the stuff you do and always hang out for your next installment.
Fantastic fabrication Kris 👍🏻
Such industrialness is greatly admired. Love your videos.
Every video I see of yours I’m just in awe of your abilities! Your just so fabulous at doing everything 😊🇦🇺
spot on quality filming as usual - quite a build -look fwd to seeing it working
Thanks for the kitty cameos! I’m looking forward to seeing spring come to your property.
12 meters !!!!!!
Fantastic .
Is there ANYTHING you can’t do . Fantastic to watch .
I really enjoyed this. I love the variety of your wood, metal, structure, vehicle and other projects.
There's just no end to your talents well done you are a fine lad all the best ,love what you do thanks.
Been working on a post driver like yours in my free time over the past few weeks. Thanks for your videos. I'm going to start on a sawmill next.
One of the best bandsaw diy vids out there!
What would've help to prevent warpage is to have a welding table or lots of work horses that have been leveled. Than use plenty of clamps and brace the workpiece before welding that is what prevents warpage. And even than afterwards they would sent it to a plant to straighten the workpiece with massive heat and weight in a press. Also in the trade they would use hard wire instead of Flux core wire which is much less heat therefore not as much warpage. Just sharing my knowledge but with a bandsaw the tolerances should be acceptable as long as your angle iron is straight you should be fine!
BTW Kris, I would install an extra cross brace at the very end where your hitch is attached. And I would recommend you place a brace beneath the tongue of the hitch and extend it back perpendicular to those existing braces and as I said add one more brace and extend that brace back crossing those two cross braces to reinforce the tongue hitch. I hope you can get that. Since your just using it on your farm as you said, it might be ok as it is. If not you can always reinforce it later on. Other than that you've done a decent job bro.. cheers bud.
Sure looks like SMAW rather than FCAW to me...
U truly are a Jack of all Trades. Well done.....it will be a great sawmill once completed. Stay safe and healthy
amazing! Hard to believe someone your age has so many skills and such resourcefulness and ethical core. keep on going!
Looking smart, that will come in handy when you start the big build!
You amaze me with all your talents, full of inspiration and authenticity, well done on your trailer build x
Good on you CHRIS. Just watching Monday morning as the TH-cam notification didn’t come through. We thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. You have so much talent and just keep learning as you go. Thanks for keeping things interesting during lockdowns across the world. Prayers for you and Dot from Ontario Canada.
Man of many talents
Great video. Not everyone can afford or even get a bandsaw in some countries so making one is the only option
Rather than running straight veg oil, you could convert it to bio-diesel. Then you can treat it as normal diesel, without needing to mix road derv in. Also you can process used cooking oil, which is cheaper/free..
Also it is then road-legal, up to 2000ltrs per year. You can make a bio-diesel rig with oil barrels and a bit of copper plumbing.
Also, don't forget the drain holes in the chassis.
Probably too late, as you already have the engine.... But an electric motor + diesel generator set could have been a more flexible option. You can site the engine away from the work site and give your ears/nose a break. It lightens the bandsaw assembly. You have the option of running from mains if it were available in future. And you have a generator to share with for other projects, rather than having to get yet another engine for them.
Really impressive can’t wait to see the next vid with it!
Possibly fit a second fuel tank and changeover tap. Then one tank for diesel and one for veg oil. I remember the old tractors that started on petrol then were switched over to paraffin.😀🇬🇧
trash to gold ,you are a real engineer man , thanks for sharing, keep posting.
Your skills are endless Kris.
Thanks for another great video.
I love the idea of repurposing! Rather than see much good materials being hauled off to the depot or to the dump, utilizing it in the construction of something ideal is always something I like to take into consideration. Good job of fabricating your own sawmill. Would eventually like to make one of my own. Here's hoping there are no obstacles with the weather or with sourcing parts. Cheers!
You rock Kris many can learn from you survive is the answer dont trust governments to look after you South Africa is going down the drain started to go like in Zimbabwe power cuts the whole day nothing is secure here we have to build own power and plant our own veggies. There is a saying i learn in Special Forces the man who walks alone walks far. Good luck with your projects.
as always, love your work, Chris. you and Dot stay safe!
Using 7018? Try striking it like a match against the material instead of tapping it to start it. Used to have to weld rusty crap LCS plate with 7018, works great, but doesn't start as easily as 6010 (although it takes considerably more concentration to get a clean weld out of 6010). Could always try 7024 jet rod as well, melts like butter in my opinion, absolute nightmare for overhead welds though, also noticed a generator running in the background, 7024 needs a ton of amps to work properly. Last note: 7018 flux coat absorbs moisture, the wetter the environment the harder it will be to get clean welds. Thanks for the vids, excited to watch more.
Great job, Kris - You're such an inspiration... Thank you again for sharing....
You're doing Great Kris, you'll be sawing in no time. Great to see your wobbly bits didn't go all caddy wompous...👍👍💚💚🙏🐱
You are really an amazing hard working individual! You have an idea, come up with a plan,is it feasible,get the material needed and follow through and complete the project! It may take a little time but you finish the task at hand! Thanks for sharing your video!👍
Love the video, I'm always excited to see a new post from you, Kris. This ones extra special though, I've been researching band saw mills obsessively and plan to get one in the spring. A welder is something I want for the future, but I think I'll use the mill to build a shop for it first! Thanks for the inspiration.
You are definitely a go big or go home kind of guy!
Fair play Kris, Christ you are a man of many talents...👏🇮🇪☘
Fantastic building
Go for it. Great to see the ingenuity.
Its always really hard to get things square and level but you did a really good job!
I don't think there's anything you couldn't build. Totally amazing :)
Kris, another great job, a " frankenmill" and I'm sure you'll make good use of it. Well done, look forward to 2021 on the property
Brilliant video as always Kris, your work ethic puts a lot of us to shame. Looking forward to your next one ✌❤ Rob.
Hello I admire your work so much and I’m thinking of doing the same kinda thing do you need planning permission for your work such as the house and workshop and green house thanks keep up the great work
Big project. That chop saw paid for itself on this job alone. Well done!
P.S> Sweet engine!
Definitely be following this along! Just bought a woodmizer lt15wide will do a 36" log and love it..one of the best features is it has small rollers at the top of the log stops that are the best idea on the whole mill you should look at there design and copy it I'm sure it will be nice of you do big logs and have to roll them
Happy New Year Kris and hello from Australia, we really look forward to your videos 😁👍🏼
Great work man. You always impress me with your creativity and ingenuity.
Watching these videos is a bit like watching Bob Ross painting videos. It starts off with you having no idea how it's going to turn out, as it progresses you think 'ok looks cool, I can see where this is going' with the occasional 'wtf is going on?' moment thrown in and by the end you see an amazing work of art while also marvelling that you would never know where to even begin ;D Or maybe that's just me :P
Great video dude :)
awesome!!! cant wait to see it in action.
You are a brilliant man! My father would have loved to work with you! He was brilliant as well...
Looks amazing so far, a nice Fendt green would be a great color for it
Like what you’re doing Kris, thanks! 🤩👏👍👍👍💯💯💯
I can't wait to see how the saw head works - I'm looking at those log stops going "but where does the blade go?".
Good job mate, well done 👍
Awesome, I was considering building one myself for years. Maybe you have triggered me now ;) Greeetings from Germany,
Me to! I finally just got so sick of chainsaw milling and going to the sawmill buying wood. Should save many van journeys and time.
I think grinding edges that are going to be welded to a roughly 45 degree angle gives more surface area for the weld to adhere/hold the two pieces.
I remember about 20 years ago I ran my Citroën Xantia on veg oil. I used about 80/20 to 50/50 mix veg oil to Diesel depending on the season.. At that time new veg oil from the supermarket was about 2/3 the cost of Diesel. Everywhere I went smelled of fish and chips though!
Great watching
Brilliant Kris, all looking good.
Great job nice to see another project 👍🏽
this will be fascinating to watch .well done mate fair play
Good evening kris,I really enjoy your videos,you gave me inspiration to do things myself,I really enjoy seeing how you cut and put things together but with this video I find it was a bit rushed,hope to see your original style of videos soon,thank you! Keep up the good work
Brilliant Kris!!!!
Hello Kris,
Nice work... Looking forward to part two...
Take care
Paul,,
There’s nothing you can’t do Kris. I reckon if you had to design and construct a haute couture ballgown you’d do that too!
Looking good !
I would just have the smaller fuel tank on the engine full of commercial diesel and have a secondary biodiesel tank attached to the sawmill frame with a Y splitter valve. start it on the engines tank and after it's warmed up switch it to the bio mix tank.
