I must say, there is not a whole lot of home built sawmills that I would take a chance on but I would give good money for that mill. Very nice and heavy duty. great job
What a beauty. Imagine buying a 6x6 x10 feet oak beam at Home Depot ! And you can make some honest 2x4 lumber. Hats off to Dad. As Mart Twain said as he got older he found his father was smarter and smarter.
Nice. Looks plenty stable. If the axle tube isn't a thick heavy gauge it could bend sticking out so far. We have a twin axle trailer that hauls a medium size tractor that the springs sets about a foot inside the Hubs. All 4 tires are getting swayed out from the axle shafts bending at the springs. But it's a great looking machine and the I beam deck will stand up to a lot of use and the occasional dropping a log on it. It looks like it's probably a fresh build. The slow return will kill tons of useful time. If y'all can get it returning really fast it'll surprise you how much of an increase in production you'll see in the same amount of time. I love seeing homemade stuff made from salvaged parts and materials that can compete with expensive factory machines. KEEP it UP👍💯
No problems with anything of that kind. It cuts very flat. Driven by a Jeep Cherokee power steering pump, hydraulic motor, and a forward / reverse valve using a chain / cog drive system from one end of sawmill to the other. Thanks for asking!
great ideal useing the power steering pump...i hope you take the time to do a much closer up video because i can see many people benfitting from your ideals ....about how much does it weight just wondering...but that is one good looking machine ...liked the scale window
It looks great, it would have been nice to see how it works and maybe some plans (at a price) I think a guard for the belt and the saw blade might have been a good idea, arms and legs are useful for getting about :) :) :)
I really like your design..Nice Job. my name is Larry and I like your video. I built a homemade sawmill about two years ago..and have had a lot of fun with it..Nice starter sawmill. I am building a compilation of sawmill videos' and I was wondering if I could use your video in it..Appreciate your time. keep up the good work
Kool mill. Now that I'm more crippled I wish mine had a seat to ride on. How does that forklift do in the off pavement? I know they do well on gravel ,but never seen one in a sawmill environment. I've needed a forklift for a long time , but haven't built or traded for one yet.
+jimgabbard112754 Wasn't intended to be negative. I owned a WoodMizer in the past and I like your design. Like i originally stated ... "Good Job". I Like it.

It's like a table with two legs and takes a good craftsman and in this case, a lot of steel to build one. I applaud you.
what a wonderfully built saw
What a beauty.

Really good looking mill you have, lots of great idea's, I love the window for the depth of cut, also looks like it's pretty heavily built too
two thumbs up for a beautiful build.....
That cantilever design has never made much sense to me but you did a fine job of it.
Nice Mill.... well built

Excellent job.
this is probably the first homemade mill that I have seen that is perfect for my own needs, any chance at some close up pics and dimensions?

nice upholstery on that seat man!!
I wish you had a set of plans for sale. Good design. Hate to see it forgotten

Very nice design, except for the guarding over the belt driving the hydraulic pump.

A great looking machine. Would have liked to get a better look at it but the video work was terrible. Was the camera strapped to the family dog?
Thanks bud! I will say, we only build top of the line stuff!!!

Do u sell plans or have a video of the build .nice mill

bravo majstore cao from bosnien
impressive
What did your Dad find more satisfying, building the sawmill, or milling the lumber?
The pulleys used for the blade are 19". I got them from surplus center.. best deal.
very nice could you tell me what size pulleys you used?
thanks
I’d really like to have to pictures of mill
how to make a WordPress site?
pretty good check out mine

WoodMizer clone :) good job
+Curtis M Howell Jr why do people like you need to make negative comments

+Curtis M Howell Jr or rather his design. got mixed up on who reply and who built it. either way, I like the design and build.
not a good combo with a gas tank over the top of the battery
that tank is for water etc to lube and clean blade
