Cool build. Just a few ponters, you need an emergency stop button from the operators station, a guard on the back side, a way to prevent roll back, a bearing under the frame so that the trolly doesn't tip. Perhaps a cable feed system so that the operator isn't leaning into the cut.
Great project. 30 + years ago I got an alaskan mill. The supplier who was also selling me a Stihl 090 insisted on installing the saw by drilling two holes in the bar and running bolts up into the base of the two vertical risers. Rather than use the clamps it is just bolted directly to the Mill. Works super well, never has come slightly loose, and if you are making your own system there are a lot fewer parts to make and assemble.
Hey mate, this is really good! I’ve being looking for tutorials on DIY chainsaw mills but this is a good option too! A lot of work went into that. Great job 👍
you can make it self feeding really cheap. A couple of garage door springs ,cable and pulley ,and a power in - power out atv winch. I drew plans that uses the spring tension to pull saw through tree and winch pulls it back to go again. Cheaper then hydraulics. Simple design, plus I would use trailer tongue jacks to adjust saw. Top wind and chain and sprocket coupling to adjust both at same time .
Would love to see a build of that. There are surprisingly many commercials saw that also use manual push solutions(but with handlebars and a bit more safety).
Great build mate , I would have gone with double bars on both side for height adjustment a a safety bar fixed about 500mm back from that brace blade brace bar so it don’t roll back and cut you legs off, and maybe something to stop the rollers jumping the rails???
Need a "dead-man" switch. Not sure of your amperage, but Rockler Woodworking make one. Even a household momentary switch (garbage disposal switches) would help. Put it right where you're apt to push the mill.
Класс. Осталось только лебёдку верёвочную добавить и опрокидывание исключить. Будет как промышленная. Ещё можно датчиков лазерных для безопасности поставить.
This is super awesome man! thanks! but please be careful, I noticed that it started sliding back towards you when you went to unplug it. you were super vulnerable and if anything went wrong you would have been badly hurt! But again this is fantastic and a great idea!
With these skills in welding I think you would be able to put together an electric bandsaw as well. What made you choose to do it with a chainsaw? Maintenance should be easier with the bandsaw and you wouldn't loose the amount of wood in the process. The bandsaw blades should be cheaper and lasting longer, too? Just curious, it's a great built!
I found this looking for bandsaw mill ideas, and what has occurred to me is that the blade can't wander with the chainsaw bar. Bandsaw mills are notorious for the blade wandering because the blade guides are so far apart. Putting a LOT of tension on the blade helps, but has some problems too. That's just my guess though. I'm seriously considering the chainsaw bar now too. Not sure what I'll choose, but I'm glad to have seen this great build.
Sweet dude, thinking about doing something similar. I'll make mine with a v twin 16hp Honda and a 1.8m bar on it. Running a 38" Alaskan mill with a ms500i atm and love the saw. I'm mainly cutting, iron bark blue gum blackwood and red cedar.
at minimum it needs a anti roll back system, as simple as a bicycle sprocket could work. also a big red stop button on the operator side could save a leg
What I would do is mount an on off switch up where your hand is when you're pushing it. So you dont have to let go at the end and risk losing a leg. Just hold it with one hand and flip the switch off and then let go after chain completely stops
Weld some 1" nuts on each corner of the frame and put 1" ready rod with a foot welded on and a 1" nut welded to the top enabling you to perfectly level your mill. This will prevent your carriage from rolling on its own.
Man I don’t care for you standing behind that with the bar and chain exposed to your legs, but it’s a great looking design so far. Maybe a an extension bar to push and some breaks, that roll back made my heart jump 😅
NEEDS A SAFETY BARRIER AS WHEN YOU FINISHED THE CUT, the saw started moving back toward your legs. Also needs a safety cut out switch if it moves backwards!
You need a catch latch at the end otherwise a great way to lose your legs! 😂 And i noticed that you don't ever react to people who have some second thoughts about this design. That's a huge character flaw! 😎
Great work...but...At the end it almost cut your legs with back pull. I would make some solution so you do not need to be in the mill and can adjust the travel of saw from the side.
MUY BUENO IMPECABLE TE FELICITO. AHORA TENGO UNA DUDA LA CADENA NO CALIENTA AL NO TENER SISTEMA DE ACEITADO DE LA CADENA DE CORTE?UN ABRAZO DESDE. URUGUAY
Got my heart racing at 6:33, looked like it was going to be a shin bone mill.
Yeah that thing is a widow-maker
@@beantown_billy2405 Yep. At least put some type of a hand trigger on it so that when you let go the blade stops.
Yeah, I hope he adds some solution so he do not need to be inside of it.
Yeah. That was one of the most intense seconds I have seen on TH-cam! Expected next episode to be about building a wooden peg leg.

Yes to every notion this person has presented... please do what they suggest, otherwise that rig will make you a statistic.
Part Two , just as perfect as Part One. Nicely done !!
I am SO impressed with this mill. Yes, I saw the safety issue but I won't beat you up on it. Attaching the bar and the sprocket was excellent....
When that chain saw rolled back I thought it was going to cut your leg when you weren't looking. It needs a safety guard on the operator side.
OMG, I flipped out when I saw that!
I like to football
Yep I screamed out 🤣😂😂
scary
Came to the comments section looking for this.
The pucker factor was real seeing that 😅👀

Honey, you deserve respect. You are an artist and creator.
that moment it starts to roll back at you ...
You are abs brilliant Mitch . Cheers
You absolutely need a winch system to move the blade or you'll suddenly be about a foot shorter. :o
Great job... Indeed a mig welding, appears to be so much easier than my stick welder... I am impressed by and encouraged to do something similar
Hey mate, this is really good! I’ve being looking for tutorials on DIY chainsaw mills but this is a good option too! A lot of work went into that. Great job 👍
Awesome build fella, well done 👍
I'm going to build one of these. The first sawmill that I've seen, that I think I can build.
3 hp
Thanks Mitch, I'm starting my build after I get the motor! Incredible Job, God bless you!
What a nice chain saw Mill
when the saw slides back to you i was really scared !!!

6:32 you just got lucky! BTW great sawmill 👍

Great build, but the way out rolled back towards your leg when you reached to switch it off I thought there was going to be a horrific accident!
its ok , he was wearing safety overalls...
Now that is totally awesome 👌
Blade Safety guard might be nice when it starts rolling back at you. And a chain oiler
See the next videos in the series

I was genuinely worried about your legs when you made that cut :) A good job on the mill but please build a guard mate.

Great idea, I think I will just use an old extension ladder for the wood rail

Wow!
Do you have the plans for the mill available? Looks like it works well.

super djobe well done do you have the measurement plan available?
Weld some 1" nuts on each corner of the frame and put 1" ready rod with a foot welded on and a 1" nut welded to the top enabling you to perfectly level your mill. This will prevent your carriage from rolling on its own.
that is awesome your very creative that's inspiring thank you
Muito boa!!!
Parabéns
Good job bro! Like!
Is that blue paint on your steel? Don't you have to have clean steel for welding?
Great build!
Thanks Mitch!
your fab skills are impressive
Good job 👏 👍
Quase um acidente ...!maaasssss
Belo TRABALHO..
Nice.
What keeps the mill from wanting to lift up off of the rails as it cuts through?
Pretty much its own weight and the bar in the wood. This really isnt much of an issue when chainsaw milling.
Maravilha trabalho maravilhoso parabéns gratidão 🙏🇧🇷
Bloody cool
I must have missed it.
What kind of motor is that?
Exelnte trabajo...hay la pierna!!
Man I don’t care for you standing behind that with the bar and chain exposed to your legs, but it’s a great looking design so far. Maybe a an extension bar to push and some breaks, that roll back made my heart jump 😅
The key is to just have it on flat ground.
Шикарная идея! Не додумался бы взять вместо ленточной, шину от бензопилы и простой движок. Ленточную просто так не сделать, а тут проще некуда.
sua solda e MIG ou MAG?
hey mate do you have blue prints or videos of how to build the machine
Where abouts are you based out of In Australia? Cheers good videos
How fast is the chain moving ?
Holy shins man!
A brave man welding next to the washing. Bit dodgy when it rolled back before you unplugged it.
Yes to both
Love the hills hoist mate👍
Just wondering what the go is with no nozzle on the welder??
Awesome job mate, good on you for sharing
I'm welding with gas-less wire so i take off the gas nozzle.
Mitch Tarrant never knew could do that and I’ve had a gasless mig for 20yrs 👍
@@Movinit I think it makes it a bit easier to weld with.
Отличная идея! 👍
Опасная штука! Можно без ног остаться.
Cool video, thanks :)
Very interesting. tHanks for the video
Сохранение у чувака похоже)) За ноги его переживал я
Is a great video, simple but good quality, what about the motor? Do you have the hp, voltage and same other spec??
Part 1 says that, but it's a single-phase 5hp pump motor
NEEDS A SAFETY BARRIER AS WHEN YOU FINISHED THE CUT, the saw started moving back toward your legs. Also needs a safety cut out switch if it moves backwards!
Я понял что смазки цепи не будет!? Правильно зачем заморачиваться! Лучше шину и цепь поменять, причем уже завтра...
я думаю, е не долго довести до ума. Но без нее шинка уже через несколько часов придет в негодность.
Good job but I think you need to get an angle outside in case of losing your balance you don't fall on the blade
I'm impressed by the mill, but I would trip on the bottom rungs and fall into the saw. I'd have to put a guard on the back.
Very best idea brother
Do Brasil , esplêndido !!!
Need to upgrade with safe measures...👍👍👍
Very good! Like!
Parabéns pelo trabalho, muito bom, qual a potência desse motor?
3hp
Are you using a flux core wire with the Mig welder?
Yep
Hey how much more quiet is this to run than a gas powered chainsaw?
You need a catch latch at the end otherwise a great way to lose your legs! 😂 And i noticed that you don't ever react to people who have some second thoughts about this design. That's a huge character flaw! 😎
Я уже приобрел "Штиль 462 MS" . Теперь очередь за портативной пилорамой.
Видал как они направляющие из алюминиевой трубы заебенили ....поржал
Very nice job
Класс, молодец:)

you should put a band of metal strip behind the chain so your leg cant touch the chain.just an opinion.
Your work is great I love it, where do I get that motor with blade?
Thanks mate, see the first video in the series
@@mtarrant3 I saw it & am so happy you opened my eyes.
Close one, huh!!!
ყოჩაღ შენ 👍🏼✊ დიდ წარმატებებს გისურვებთ ❤️🥰🙏🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Those castors alone are about $250. How much was the total material input?
Te quedo genial pero no deberías lubricar la cadena para q no se sobrecaliente?
you are the man
Did you weld both nuts for the lift
yep
Please add additional beam to protect the operator foot from injury causing by the moving chain-saw.....
I need to buy this mill to shipped to Africa fir the production of teak lumber .
Отличная пилорама!
Спасибо автору супер
wow thought for sure when it started rolling back after the cut you were about to be one foot shorter. Really need to fix a guard for safety.
I actually yelled out "watch your leg!"
Îmi place sistemul
After first Cut is a very dangerous moment
You need some sort of safety guard on the back of the blade.
I want mine free standing so I can move it? Cut from the top.
Would not want to be there if that chain was to break. Leg Ectomy you might should add some body guards on the side.
could it be made to cut throwing the chips away from the motor?
Yep, just reverse the log mounts.
