Genius level problem solving ,and brilliant use of old parts ,coupled with top notch fabrication skills. You are an absolute champion,the world needs more people like you !!
Nothing like a "Well Remembered" trip down memory lane, enjoyed it then enjoyed it again, beautifully built and hands down one of your premium projects, thanks for the (re) ride Donn !!
I have seen a lot of people make a lot of stuff, and I have made a lot of stuff myself. The breadth of fabrication and mechanical understanding and skill, and level of ingenuity you have is quite remarkable. I have a lot of respect for you! Fantastic work!
I watched this build from the start and liked all the info and your workmanship. I built a mill in 1995 that cost me $1500; that cuts a 36 inch x 22 foot log. I did buy 25 inch sheaves for band wheels, and uses a 16 Hp Kohler engine. I did have most of 1.5 and 2 inch box tube given me that saved me a lot of money. Will be waiting for your new mill build.
Nice to see your first Start to Finish video. I regret a little I didn't buy that from you 😀. One nice and useful project to remember and I'm waiting for your Swing-bade sawmill building series. Cheers mate! 🍻
Hello .. Once again excellent craftsmanship, I am amazed where you get all these ideas from. I also see no construction drawings, everything just from scratch. With these two sawing machines you can start your own sawmill company. Greetings
Impressive! Love how you reuse parts from all sorts of things, and have a great eye to see what those old parts can be used for. It’s very creative and super useful. Oh, and to fit all that in a 20 minute video… nicely done!
Awesome build. I've used round tube instead of square receiver for the outrigger mount on my pickup truck crane. Then you can pull the pin and swivel without having to remove it. Great video
Always a joy to watch you work !! The fabrication skills and lathe skills are amazing ....everything is amazing !! What a saw mill !! WOW !! Great build as always !! 👍👍
You are a wonderful mechanic! The design of the sawmill is very common, but you have special features - water for cooling the cutting blade and an original clutch mechanism for the belt drive. Great details, high class. It's very nice to look at your work! Good health and good luck to you!
Brilliant! I wish you could make one for me too. I have a 40 inch diameter Sugar Pine that I just felled that’s making me wish I had kept one of my sawmills.
For a one-part build, this may be among my favorites so far. Much better than a number of other TH-camr's home built mills. Not as big as Matt Cremona and April Wilkerson's mills though :)
Hi Donn, WOW ! You blow me away. Seems to be working better than my 70K dollar sawmill. You're absolutely brilliant. To see a young man with your skills is so refreshing, we're in good hands. Thanks for the video, and keep being A W E S O M E ! ! !
I tip my hat to you 🎩. You and others like you are the true engineers of the world. Continue utilizing every brain cell you have to design and manifest all the great ideas in your mind. Excellent creative work. 👍🏼
Outstanding! but use some cutting oil on those drill bytes please.And sway bar links are genius. Beautiful, excellent, bravo your attention to detail and robust heavy duty approach is stellar! Very impressive young man. Can't wait to watch other videos from you.
When I saw the title, I thought you were saying you built the sawmill in 20 minutes! Nice piece of work and very entertaining. The timbers you got out of it was pretty special too.
I knew it was a lie...It took me like 25 minutes to build the exact same thing...Pfft, what a jip!...:)...Awesome build! You're a great fabricator/welder/ mechanic...Good health and freedom to you and yours.
Here you go again, probably bring out the you shouldn’t do this and that folks. That’s okay cause we know you did not burn anything down. Glad to see this version too but I would suggest to all to view the complete build. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Nice job, I watched bits a pieces of the build but now saw the whole thing in 20 minutes. So cool how you even machined the pulleys. Starting to get cold here at night in Minnesota, won’t be long and we’ll be firing up the outdoor boiler.

hey now all you need is to make a jointer to joint the wood sections so its smooth and not rough and get slivers in your hands or other body sections
Thanks
What kind of education did you go through ? I really enjoy your videos.👌👌👌

Hi Bart, happy to see you here! Take care and stay healthy and greetings to Tulsa.
That was slicker than two Estonian eels in a bucket of elbow grease! Nice job!
And I ask myself everytime: Where the hell do you get all the idea's for this practical solutions 💪.
In my opinion this is genius and quality work.
Yeah this guy can make , build or fabricate anything . I think he's one of those genius young people .
Eline koluna sağlık derler bizde .imkanim olsa yanına gelip tanışmak isterdim seninle .herşey gönlünce olsun. Takipteyim
Those jacks you whipped up are absolutely fantastic!!!
Absolutely one of the best fabrication videos ever, amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed watching this series the first time
I have seen a lot of people make a lot of stuff, and I have made a lot of stuff myself. The breadth of fabrication and mechanical understanding and skill, and level of ingenuity you have is quite remarkable. I have a lot of respect for you! Fantastic work!
Really glad to see people being able to build what ever is on their mind. Enjoyed every step of the video 👌
Really enjoy watching you repurpose scrap items into useful tools.
Wow. I thought I was good at building stuff until I watched this. Holy smokes. That was sweet. Worked beautifully.
Only The Donn could build an awesome sawmill in 20 minutes or less. All others will break down and weep in defeat. All hail the great Donnster.
I remember when you made your first cuts on that mill. I was so impressed. Still am.
Great memories! That is the project where I found your channel!!
You never cease to amaze me in your ability to design and execute your builds. Quite the craftsman!
Nice rig! Reminds me of why I hate living in town now... Lol!
Thanks Donn for putting these things on “the tube”. You are doing well. Greetings from New Zealand
This way better built than anything you can buy on the market right now

Like always good hard work, and on times when price of wood are so big you have your own saw mill
Its called hard work and willing to do it, and it helps if you wasn't raised in the city. Good job young man
Thank you very much!🙏
Nice to see your first Start to Finish video. I regret a little I didn't buy that from you 😀. One nice and useful project to remember and I'm waiting for your Swing-bade sawmill building series. Cheers mate! 🍻
Maybe you'll get to like the swing-blade sawmill so much you'll be happy you didn't buy the band sawmill. 😁
@@DonnDIY I afraid that too 😁
@@AFHProjects how much price is this
All I can say is just ,WOW ! absolutely Amazing !! Hell of a Good Job !!!
A true joy to watch a craftsman in action. Your skills and abilities are an encouragement for others to try.

Hi thats great, what do u have cooling the blade ? Is that just water or oil ?
Cheers
WOW! What a fantastic video. My eyes were bugging out of head the entire time.

ES VERDAD
Круто , руки золотые , не идеально но для себя самое то .
very, very, very good work, once again very professional ............. friendships
Watched this build when you first did it, enjoyed every episode 👍👍👍
Please tag me, or send me link to original videos

You always do such good work! It was good to see this build again. I like your videos very much!
Best TH-cam vid I’ve seen in a long time.
Best build I have ever seen. Great video
Beautiful!
Just one thing, paint!
Комментарий в поддержку видео и канала, а также труда мастера.
Dude, this is some borderline genius stuff here! Wow
Thank you!🙏😀
Мы с помощью тик-ток смогли заработать большие деньги! Спросите как!? Мы просто удалили эту программу и начали работать сварщиками😁
😂😂😂👍
Sending my full support gdblesss 🙏🙏
Nice milling ❤️👍
Hi Donn,
WOW ! You blow me away.
Seems to be working better than my 70K dollar sawmill.
You're absolutely brilliant.
To see a young man with your skills is
so refreshing, we're in good hands.
Thanks for the video, and keep being
A W E S O M E ! ! !
Красавчик хороший проект для самоделки! Ток я не в куриваю че уже зима 🤪?
По ходу уже весна.😁
A worn out Woodmizer would cost $10-15k and probably wouldn't cut as straight. A lot of work went into that. Very well done.
You are brave, you are doing fire work among firewood. But the end result is very good.
I tip my hat to you 🎩. You and others like you are the true engineers of the world. Continue utilizing every brain cell you have to design and manifest all the great ideas in your mind. Excellent creative work. 👍🏼
Love the dogging system. I need to make that for my sawmill so I can actually trust the log to stay where I want it. :)
WTF i think your ideas never ends ... great job
I was skeptical about the tracking on the pneumatic tires, amazing and inspiring work!
Dude, you need your own show on Discovery Channel!
Outstanding! but use some cutting oil on those drill bytes please.And sway bar links are genius. Beautiful, excellent, bravo your attention to detail and robust heavy duty approach is stellar! Very impressive young man. Can't wait to watch other videos from you.
Thank you. I have a swinblade sawmill build in progress if you're interested👇

You must not sleep much for I believe your always thinking about projects 24/7! Great video! Ačiū pone!
An oldie but a goodie!
Cheers from Sydney Australia
🇦🇺👍🦘🐨👍🇦🇺🇪🇪
Wow! I’m speechless!!!! Nice work!
Mindblowimg,
I really appreciate, you build the wheels and some pullies at home, it is totally home made machine, love it,
Keep up👍👍👍
Great craftsmanship! Enjoyed the video. My 8 Year old son just wants a ride on the quad in the snow 🤣🤣
You're so professional and I hope I could do it but it's not easy... love this job 👍👌

I love your builds, you make them all look so easy. Now, I need one LOL Great video, cheers :)
Your shop is quite a bit nicer now days!
it was lovely to watch, you have so many skills....thank you
Absolutely fantastic build
Good idea to make a short version of this👍🏻 Thanks!
Your fabrication skills are amazing
SKILLED TRADESMAN, VERY NICE WORK!
Слов нет парень молоток хочу поехать к нему в гости
Already snowing out your way, I see. Good luck with the long winter, Donn.
Мужик ты нереально крутой!!! Почет и уважение! Снимаю шляпу)))
This is better built and safer than a sawmill I once worked in. I have the scars to prove it.
Add an automobile tension pulley on the belt drive.
Fantastic build, you are a talented steelworker! Built in 20 mins or less, somehow I doubt it 😉
😀 "20 min or less" is definitely only suitable for the video title. In real life it took a little bit more time.😅
Nice job, I watched bits a pieces of the build but now saw the whole thing in 20 minutes. So cool how you even machined the pulleys. Starting to get cold here at night in Minnesota, won’t be long and we’ll be firing up the outdoor boiler.
Wow, from winter to summer in 20 minutes!
Красавчик! Золотые руки у тебя!
Amazing skill and creativity
I half expected to see a standard pedal bike saddle on top of this! ;o)
As always .... Exceptional!
Great build .very resourceful. I love that
This is so cool, man. Well done. Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for watching!👍
You are always creative.
If I were a billionaire, I would give you half of my fortune.
Donn, I just saw an idea I’m going to steal from you for how to engage the blades on my homemade bush hog! Thanks!
No worries! And I saw this solution somewhere else and used it.👍
Great job brother. You have inspired me.
Awesome that is the coolest sawmill of all times!
That was a nice birch log, Donn. That should be some nice lumber, depending on your application.
Awesome build young man. Keep it up.
Wow what a machine. How's she work excellent
Very Nice job my friend.Harulda meel ,keep trying,structure,everything in your imagination
Decent & sweet,This is alluring
Awesome build man. Love to see craftsmen take drawings right out of there brains.
Damn if whatever you touch doesn't turn into a thing of beauty!
Wonderful work. Very skilled.
Thanks!🙏🙏
@@DonnDIY Thank you for sharing this! Almost inspires me to want to learn welding.
Beautiful Job, I believe I will build one too! Thank You !!!!
Thank you for watching!🙏
