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.
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.
Класс. Осталось только лебёдку верёвочную добавить и опрокидывание исключить. Будет как промышленная. Ещё можно датчиков лазерных для безопасности поставить.
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???
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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 👍
OK this design is VERY DANGEROUS at the end of the video the saw almost backed up into his legs. Operator needs to stand to the side at all times to compensate. A remote pull cord could be used and avoid all injury. Competent building and welding.
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 😅
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
I really like your design but there are few things that make me nerveous. First those wheels need outer rail which would prevent the wheels from jumping off the pope rail. If it tips over you could really hurt yourself. Second thing that made super nerveous was the end of your video when you fi ished making that first cut you let go off chainsaw but it came rolling back toward you. You could eaily lose arm or leg. Always make sure chainsaw is off before you let go off. Last thing I would add maybe some sort of lid or cover over chain where its facing your body. Just in case that chain brakes loose you want to keep your body safe.
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
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! 😎
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.
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.
This is the comment I came looking for.

Yes to every notion this person has presented... please do what they suggest, otherwise that rig will make you a statistic.
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
I have recently started welding myself and figured I'd start with Flux core. THought I was doing pretty well until I tried stick welding. Much harder!
Part Two , just as perfect as Part One. Nicely done !!
Honey, you deserve respect. You are an artist and creator.
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 😅👀
Awesome build fella, well done 👍
You are abs brilliant Mitch . Cheers
Oiler? Love the simplicity! Great job.
6:32 you just got lucky! BTW great sawmill 👍

You absolutely need a winch system to move the blade or you'll suddenly be about a foot shorter. :o
Отличная идея! 👍

that moment it starts to roll back at you ...
How do you oil the chin 😮

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
Thanks Mitch, I'm starting my build after I get the motor! Incredible Job, God bless you!
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....
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???
when the saw slides back to you i was really scared !!!
Blade Safety guard might be nice when it starts rolling back at you. And a chain oiler
See the next videos in the series
super djobe well done do you have the measurement plan available?
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...
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.
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!
What a nice chain saw Mill
Como le ago para comprar una de esta maquína
Parabéns pelo trabalho, muito bom, qual a potência desse motor?
3hp
Maravilha trabalho maravilhoso parabéns gratidão 🙏🇧🇷
Very interesting. tHanks for the video
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.
good job, what is the motor power? and what is the saw size ?
3kw and the bar is 1m long
Are you using a flux core wire with the Mig welder?
Yep
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
Hello Mitch, nice work! can you tell me the motor rpm pls?
I cant remember exactly but i think it was 2200 rpm
God Bless You Mitch! 🙏
could it be made to cut throwing the chips away from the motor?
Yep, just reverse the log mounts.
what about oil for the chain? l didn't saw to exist a system for that.
See the next video in the series
Great idea, I think I will just use an old extension ladder for the wood rail
that is awesome your very creative that's inspiring thank you
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.
Шикарная идея! Не додумался бы взять вместо ленточной, шину от бензопилы и простой движок. Ленточную просто так не сделать, а тут проще некуда.
Опасная штука! Можно без ног остаться.
Did you weld both nuts for the lift
yep
Good job 👏 👍
I was genuinely worried about your legs when you made that cut :) A good job on the mill but please build a guard mate.
cade a proteção pra nao torar a perna enquanto empurra o equipamento?
Haha, thats right
Um amigo aqui no estado do mato grosso do Sul / Brasil pediu pra que eu mandasse o vídeo, ele vai copiar o seu projeto, parabéns.
Very best idea brother
I must have missed it.
What kind of motor is that?
Do you have the plans for the mill available? Looks like it works well.
I'm going to build one of these. The first sawmill that I've seen, that I think I can build.
3 hp
Very nice job
Здравствуйте! Скажите пожалуйста какя мощность двигателя? Спасибо
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.
Hey how much more quiet is this to run than a gas powered chainsaw?
Hi what size is the chainsaw bar.?
1m
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.
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 👍
Te quedo genial pero no deberías lubricar la cadena para q no se sobrecaliente?
A brave man welding next to the washing. Bit dodgy when it rolled back before you unplugged it.
Yes to both
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
OK this design is VERY DANGEROUS at the end of the video the saw almost backed up into his legs. Operator needs to stand to the side at all times to compensate. A remote pull cord could be used and avoid all injury. Competent building and welding.
Good job bro! Like!
sua solda e MIG ou MAG?
Now that is totally awesome 👌
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.
Those castors alone are about $250. How much was the total material input?
what lubricates your saw chain
See video 3
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.
Huge fail when you have to speed up the video four times.
Huge fail when you comment just to be a douche....
hey mate do you have blue prints or videos of how to build the machine
how much power is the engine?
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
Motor KWt?
Cool video, thanks :)
Is that blue paint on your steel? Don't you have to have clean steel for welding?
Great build!
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.
Отличная пилорама!
Need to upgrade with safe measures...👍👍👍
your fab skills are impressive
What power motor kWt ?
how many rpm is the engine
What's the hp and rpm of the motor
I need to buy this mill to shipped to Africa fir the production of teak lumber .
Quase um acidente ...!maaasssss
Belo TRABALHO..
I really like your design but there are few things that make me nerveous.
First those wheels need outer rail which would prevent the wheels from jumping off the pope rail. If it tips over you could really hurt yourself.

Can u make wooden legs with that?.... Your gonna need them.
This comment wins the internet today congratulations sir
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.
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
How fast is the chain moving ?
Do Brasil , esplêndido !!!
Very good! Like!
OMG. This welding specialist really shocks... Where is the oil for the chain???
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 уже приобрел "Штиль 462 MS" . Теперь очередь за портативной пилорамой.
Видал как они направляющие из алюминиевой трубы заебенили ....поржал
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! 😎
Exelnte trabajo...hay la pierna!!
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.
Wow!
