Many people have requested plans. If you have and I have not sent them please let me know and i will send them. No charge. If you have received them I am curious to know where they went so if you would like to let me know I would be grateful for the info.
@@EOtto The wheels are from the Grizzley tool company in the US. If you cant get them there you should be able to get similar ones there. They have self contained bearings with the drive pulley attached and have metric bearings.
Some thoughts on improvements on my saw after using my saw for a while. I would lengthen the T on the tensioning handle for more pressure and make the shaft longer to clear the guard. I would also make the tensioning screw from Acme threaded rod as the current thread will strip after a while. I would weld a 1/2 inch socket to the end of the tensioning handle as the nut I used used is already wearing out. This allows the easy use of the torque meter for tensioning. Add extra short log dogs like the Norwood ones. I like their idea. I would replace the 3/4" Ts on the log dogs with threaded hex rods for more control. Any other thoughts you find are welcome.
This is excellent! I had wondered about extending the rails with another section but didn't know if alignment would be a problem - looks like you got that figured out.
It seems to work fine. You have to give it a little extra shove over the joint, but it does not affect the cut. As long as the rails and the wood don't meet at the same place it appears to work fine. I have one question for you Dennis. Where did you get the the bearings for your blade guides. Mine are affected by water. Yours appear to be stainless steel. Thanks.
I am trying to keep up with plan requests. If you have requested plans and I have not sent them please let me know and I will send them out. Stephen Anderson
Curious how I could get a set of plans for this. Quite the nice build and excellent video! I think your design might be an excellent jumping off point for me. Wikk3dsk4t3r@msn.com
If anyone wants plans just email me at stephen.anderson58@gmail.com and remind me you want plans. I usually reply within minutes of reading you request otherwise I forget.
Hi Stephen, I would like some plans. I have fabricated a carraige and trailer, only thing I'm stuck on is a way to tension the blade, and adjust the wheels. I am running 2 18.75. Great video btw!
@@farmboyventures5285 If you give me your email address I can send you a pdf of the plans. Some time in the future I hope to do a blade adjustment and tensioning video so stay tuned.
If anyone wants plans please let me know. I don't get to this site often to check requests. Send me an email at the address below. I am working some minor improvements and I will try to document them here also when I get them done.
Thank you. There are some great ideas in your original design. Video is clear and we see everything well, like you really want to share your plan. Using wood in the tracks is good for lightness and portability. The axle of the tracks'wheels could be made longer for added stability on rough uneven terrain.
I made the plans to design the sawmill. As they were already created I am glad to send them to anyone who wants them free of charge. They are in PDF format.
Hello Steven can I please get a copy of your plans please... my email is da4530927@gmail..com thanks for your video and my wife said that you look like my dad.... Well I told her that you are a Anderson....
Although a great video and build it’s a stretch to call that mill anything remotely close to being “portable” I can think of many other ways for the portability to be more practical
Looking for all the help I can get I was trying to purchase a sawmill to ship back to my country bellies central America but cannot afford a brand new one is there anyone on here that can help me to build one or at least to acquire the parts needed that I can ship back to my country just need to know the names of the different parts that I could maybe go and purchase at a Home Depot or other mail or store that sell these type of equipment
I’ve been looking over both yours and Dennis’s and I’m curious if you don’t mind answering: what size diameter tubing and angle iron did you use for the main beam, track rails, and the uppers and all? And, where did you buy the wheels from and the wheel shafts?
I was thinking about trying to build one capable of a 48" cut. Do you think that same 6.5hp harbor freight engine would do the trick, or you think I'd need to step it up? I also wasn't sure if there's a science to the size of the blade wheels.. if a bigger blade needs bigger wheels, or if I could just use the same wheels spaced further apart
Sure, just send me your email address at stephen.anderson58@gmail.com with the request so I remember what you want and I will send a pdf set to you . No charge.
yes, I would be glad to send you a pdf set if you wish. No charge. The only fee is to tell me approximately where in the world you are. I have sent them literally around the world so it is fun to see where they went.
@@stephenanderson3056 I was wondering if you would email me a copy of your plans I would like to make a mill like the one you made my email address is (manishspurrell@yahoo.com) I really enjoyed your video
I know your brave but to no check all bolts on this machine is close to suicide to me as blades break even though they are new. The saw is running and you tighten the guide block and if the blade binds then snaps it will coil faster than a rattlesnake and this one can kill on the first bite. I am not sure how I did it but I watched to the end and I watched you make so many mistakes that osha would lock you up for your own protection... Maybe not osha but if someone watching sees you do it and then they get hurt when they try, good luck with home owners insurance. Those welds won't take the vibration that will eventually hurt or kill someone., no need to harp at you, it is already done.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT running a saw of this size without a guard. If the blade brakes it will saw your head off.

Thank You so much for taking the time to make this video. Very inspiring!
What did you use for your blade pulleys
Iused Grizzley bandsaw wheels

This guy loves Predator n Pittsburgh more than i do

Could you send me your email address so I can send you the PDF plans and parts list for mine for this one
I just got some pine logs. I was wondering if there are any special techniques i need to know when cutting them. Thanks
I can't answer your question, but maybe this video is a good starting point. th-cam.com/video/nMkq5M37ON0/w-d-xo.html
To those folks I send drawings to: I thought I had included the parts list, but I didn't. If you want one let me know.
Send to me? diegors100@gmail.com
😀
This would be a good project for me to make with my everlast welder. I've got quite a bit of wood I could put through it.
This was my first welding project. If I can do it anyone can. I can send you the plans of you wish.
please send ma plan of this sawmill
Where gloves and he doesn’t ?
Really great sawmill, id like to have the plans if it still available, thanks Stephen.
sorry my email is fpilot172@gmail.com
Dear Stephen, I love this can you please send me a copy of your plans and a parts list. Also, how much did this cost to build?
thank you
Maureen
The cost is about $1000 buying everything new. Send your email address and I will send you the PDF copies of the plans.
@@stephenanderson3056 my email is gonnawin58@gmail.com Thank you so much!
Good work my friend. I live and work in Africa,I was wondering how much are the plans I would love to build this in Kenya.
Send me your email address and I will send you a set no charge. After my vacation
Stephen Anderson thank you very much Mr.Stephen. My email is John.mwatu88@gmail.com

buying everything it cost about $1000
красава! спасибо! Balalaika, vodka, medvedi!
I need one like this. How much cost one like this?
Purchasing all parts new cost is about $1000
I want to this machine
On vacation will send plans next week
Awesome
Nice Job!
thanks a bunch

I created a complete set of drawings and parts list for my sawmill while I built it. I'll send you a pdf copy if you would like.
Stephen Anderson yes, that would be awesome and highly appreciated!
Hi would you be able to send me that pdf as well?

Sure. When you get it done send Dennis and I a picture or video. Just tell me your email address so I can send the set of drawings.
Can we still get plans?
Sure, just send me your email address at stephen.anderson58@gmail.com with the request so I remember what you want and I will send a pdf set to you . No charge.
TKE?
Could you tell us where you bought the saw blade wheels ? NICE
The wheels are from Grizzly spare parts. You need the wheels bearings and a few misc parts
