Andries, I have seen many homemade mills and come to the conclusion that if they work with some tweaking when you put them to use and cut the timber to what specs you need, then it’s a good mill and this one is obviously a winner. What I like is that you have utilised old car parts, wheels and tyres and other stuff you would expect to find around a farm. I think you will have no problems cutting those bigger logs. Well done mate, another one of your mechanical marvels.
yeah i can adjust the guide bearings a bit wider, current max width is about 55 cm, but i think i can do around 70 if i push it to its limits. the height though the height becomes a issue as the highest it will go is around 48cm... I could make it higher but that's like a total rebuild
Nice video! It’s great to see your mill again 👍 I’m in the process of making a sawmill video too, I will give your channel a shout out and put a link in my videos description to sent some people your way if you don’t mind. Thanks for posting. Ps I think these DIY mills are how we found each other’s channels years ago 🙂
can’t wait to see your design mike!! Really looking forward to it, I actually have a old golf cart frame I mite chop up and use the wheels and engine to build myself one one day. Take care!
@@Ants_Pants yes a lovely place to live. Was just watching your log cabin build I bet your glad you got all them roof tiles on. I used to build log cabins all over ireland, now I install solar panels all over ireland 👍

Awesome build!! I’ve been wanting to build a saw mill for a long time now! I really like your design!! Have you thought of making some brush wipers on top of the wheels that ride on the frame to help brush saw dust off the wheels? Awesome video buddy really gives me some inspiration!!

This video deserves more views!
That mill is impressive! I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. It has been a huge money saver

Pretty slick, i appreciate back yard engineers and mechanics
Thanks Joe. I. Appreciate the comment
That mill is impressive! I like the infinitely adjustable tensionor!
That mill is pretty cool. I have been wanting to buy one but they are certainly expensive.
That they are🤔 i built this one for around 1.2k eur. You could get by cheaper if tou know the right people though.
Nice sawmill love this type of content great video 👍
Thanks Sean! I'm working on a video abot cutting the biggest log iv ever had. Stay tuned!
@@Ants_Pants look forward to it! I'm trying to find a big log for my homemade sawmill but they are tricky to find where I am in ireland 👍
@@seandoran6809 oh yes i assume there is not that many trees around? Such a beautiful place to live though.

Nice looking sawmill! Great job on the repairs! I found your channel through Mike Festivas shout out. I subbed to your channel. 👍
Thanks a much! Means a lot
