    You could do with a rain cap on that exhaust now its in "vertical-boy-racer" mode ;)

      Will it have enough pressure to open it, it's only a wee 10hp

    Kris, you might like to fit a flapper onto the exhaust to keep out the rain, or maybe just stick a bean tin on top. Works on tractors. Oh and that is a great bit of kit you've built yourself. Very well done, it looks the business.

      I was thinking he should make that exhaust pipe reach higher. A flexible ventilation pipe would do. Standing beside that exhaust wont be fun the day the wind comes from the wrong direction and you have to turn the mill around to avoid the fumes. And a flapper or can on top is a good idea.

      Flapper on top and a small drain hole at the bottom

    Hey Kris. I've been running a Norwood band mill for almost 20 years, and it is very similar to what you've built there. Great job, by the way! I would recommend that you weld on a push handle for yourself to push the carriage while milling, and put the throttle on that handle as well. Excited to see it in action.

      A round bar for a handle with a spring loaded motorcycle throttle would probably work great and being spring loaded it will idle unless your hand is on the throttle might add an extra level of safety for the commenters you were telling the cat about. 😉

    If you get a 4 inch paint roller and use covers with the least nap you can find (not foam ones) do this: thin down the oil based paint a little and paint metal with that. You will get “factory finish” results, trust me. I used to refurbish vending machines this way and they came out great. With a 4 inch roller it’s easy to get into the nooks and crannies. All the best. Try it, you will be surprised.👍

    Hello. From the States. One tip that may help you save Gas and electric , would be to stitch weld. Make a series of 25mm welds about 50mm apart. It will hold just as well and save time and material. I have welded for over 30 years. I hope this may help you. Liked,shared. All my best.

    Looks great. I suggest that you relocate the water drip to the outside of the blade guide so that it doesn't eat into your cutting width. It looks as though the blueing on the guide rollers hasn't held up. You'd probably have better results by heating them and quenching in oil.

    @feelingold2995 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That mill is built like a tank.. Awesome work. That mill will perform like a completely different animal after its broke in and you get the RPMs up. I think the sawmill trailer i built is around 23 feet from bow to stern light... every time i move it i drop a string line down my rails to ensure a strait shot with the sled. Being that your angle iron (rails) are different you might drag a line down your log beds then adjust. Fast an easy... I usually mill up say 4 logs then add the drops (slabs) of similar sizes 6 at a time if possible standing up on the mill and debark them with a quick pass. All that 1xs add up fast

    Now looking at what you've achieved over the past few years its pretty astonishing as most of it was done with very little or no help whatsoever!!!
    You would never believe that you don't have a background in engineering !!! Thinking about it honestly engineering should have been your job as your pretty damn good at it.!!!
    The woodmill is going to need a name....how about Dorothy's Demon 😈!!!
    When you start upon your journey to build your forever home with Dotty this mill is going to save you a bloody fortune so well done on thinking ahead 👏 😀
