- I've got a few building projects coming up so I needed to mill some timber. Lots of comments on my previous milling vids asking for a close up look at my sawmill so I'll show how this dual blade mill is put together.

Just so impressed with the ability to use recycled equipment and make it useful. The blade sharpener was pure simple genius along with the brilliant design of your DIY sawmill. Most impressive mate!
I bet he could make a home made helicopter out of used tractor parts. 🚁🚜
God damn real life MacGyver, washing machine turbines, Datsun sawmill, and a David brown museum.
I love how all this seems so natural to you, a home made saw mill with hydraulic drive and chains to keep it moving square and parallel is more than most people can understand but for you it's just another home made tool !
That is a very well put together bit of equipment which is invaluable for processing big logs quickly and easily by one man !
With the colour of the oil out of the 120y motor, it could have been a diesel.
Nearly died laughing with music that accompanied the glugging fuel. You've got a great sense of humour.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE VERY, VERY, VERY INTERESTING CONTENT. I MORE THAN ENJOY WHEN I SEE '''MARTY T''' HAS UPLOADED NEW CONTENT, 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S POP-CORN AND TEA WORTHY!!!
Marty that has to be the best mill built from scratch I've ever seen. To come up with that idea is something.
You are a really gifted person to come up with that and slot of your ideas. You don't have a wrench to fit a bolt, you make something to work..my hats off to you mate as Yall say there...keep doing videos because I love your channel..
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq why I said what I did.. Remarkable
Marty would be the BEST neighbor to live next to! I thought I had a few 'skills'. This guy can do everything.
As always great job sir! Loving the Cypress Hill @7:33..
That is SUCH AN INCREDIBLE IDEA!! Absolutely GENIUS. I'm very impressed. So cool.
My ex-father-in-law had a 48"/120cm round blade saw. The first time I went to the mill with him, i watched him peen and file each tooth individually before that days cutting. He explained kerf and the aspects of blade wobble with respect to tooth shape. I was amazed by those cams!
Love that Sawmill !!! Wish I was Marty's neighbor...
Dude I just love watching your videos proper calming old school engineering, like your blade sharpener.
Just like my grandad used to say and my dad, if you don't have a tool for the job you make one.
Keep doing what your doing your teaching those younger generation that not everything should be thrown away.
That home made blade sharpener out of an old window motor is pretty awesome
If some one had told me that was a home made saw mill it would be difficult to believe, so I am glad I saw it with my own eyes.
Bro i'm really starting to believe you're a genius You may think this stuff is coming but i don't believe i could build it Keep killing it
G'day. The kind of divine contraption my dear father would have admired. Possibly one of the few blokes who would mend his tools before mending his machine. Thank you Marty.
Marty, you need to be teaching mechanical engineering. Very impressed.
That must be SO SATISFYING. It’s cool to see the rescued machines make appearances during the process.
7:32, that cheeky Cypress Hill reference was too good!
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Marty builds himself a wood kiln out of a used 40 foot shipping container and a wood furnace to heat it with a forced air system blowing air around the plenum into the kiln.
A friend of mine built one that way.
Worked beautifully.
He insulted the outside and covered that with wood he milled himself so it looked like a long shed which is what he used it for when he wasn't drying lumber he milled himself.
I have actually thought about doing just that
We actually used to use the "slabs" as wall material, used vertically, on the farm. "Round backs" were actually railway sleepers with one slightly rounded side. On the farm we did Railway Sleeper (railroad ties) cutting near Dubbo N.S.W. 1960's. Good fun machine. Jim Bell (Australia)
First started watching Marty when he was doing the Hydro power from old washing machine.... Then i got hooked .... Absolutely enjoy all your vids..keep it up. Brilliant engineer and problem solver.
Reminded me of a medieval torture device. Glad you got the old girl running good
In case anyone wants to build one themselves. Funniest thing I've heard all day
There is always guys that say ''I should build one sometime''.
From the ground up I've built cars, a logging line machine, firewood bucksaw, small circle saw mill and too many other little things to mention. My Dad was the same as I and my son just like me. His son was welding and fabbing at 12 years old.
Most guys talk but don't do...and it is funny
Thanks Marty good video, funny we call them 2x4 here in Canada.
thank you for adding new content when I need it most. I will never, ever get tired of watching your videos
I've never ran across a mill like that one over here in the states.. We all use band mills these days that use bandsaw blades and you have to cut it to thickness and then cut it again to width.. They had something like that at the old lumber mill that ran from 1880s up until the latter 1990s when it shut down but it had the blades set up a distance apart and the logs moved through a set of circular gang saw blades cutting many layers at once at one station and then to the other dimension at the next set of blades.. Most of my fellow Americans couldn't use that one due to no guards and safeties... They'd be limbless the first day... 😄
You’re very industrious Marty,your mill is a very novel idea for cutting planks.👍👍
This video generated a flood of memories from my youth as we built a sawmill powered by a Chevrolet 350. I miss smelling the fresh cut lumber-they are quite fantastic. Before long, you will have all you need to start your own town. Thanks for sharing Marty!
Ha! Double cuts...what a luxury. I'll be having nice dreams about that machine.
The sawmill is always just as impressive, as well as your ability to keep it going. I imagine the old Datsun engine is also happy to keep working and not get melted.
I like hearing the differences in language from you vs the USA...4x2 sounded so funny to me because we say 2x4 over here. Still a great video, you are so full of awesome knowledge and unique abilities!
He's accommodating us. 100x50 ? Lol
Marty, your W.Australian counterpart would have said 4x2 bananas. Lol. That's 101.6x50.8.
Warren Michael. English terminology , same in Australia. We get a bit used to yours.
Nobody uses 4x2 unless you are American and live in a cave. 90x35 guys.. inches are only good for making ya Johnson look bigger
@@trentgibson7947 Americans don't use 4x2, they use 2x4. Here in the UK it's still referred to as 4x2 by the majority , which is definitely bigger than your 90x35...😜
Another Great video and a great Sawmill design! Those boards were spot on.. genius design again mate!?
Cheers from London England 👍💪😎🏴
The price of timber has doubled here in UK. We also have no more Datsun 120y, they didn't like our climate and returned to their element. Great job, thanks for sharing.
In tx we had a spoke of over x4. Unbelievable. Still not back to what it was. Lumber mills to blame. Retailers are to scared to stock much inventory. Right now a hurricane is about to decimate Louisiana. How are those folk going to board up w no plywood? Sad.
@@ebutuoyebutouy There was actually a shortage of glues that caused the high prices of engineered wood products like plywood and OSB. Dimentional lumber was a lot more greed fueled in some areas. Many people who had access to a saw mill used them while the price was high. Now the prices where I live are pretty much back to normal for dimensional lumber but the engineered stuff is still quite high.
What I don't understand about states like Louisana where major storms are an issue is why when houses are built they don't build steel shutters for the windows lag bolted into the structure so that all you have to do is close them and bolt them up before a storm hits.
@@kuhrd You can have steel shutters but if the wind gets under and compromises the roof then shutters do very little. 150mph is above the threshold for most building codes so rarely will you find a home with a roof rated to such a speed.
Well as the Nissan people copied the design completely from Austin why not use an old Austin engine?
@@ThePlayerToBeNamedLater Here in Darkest Africa we can build houses out of brick and roofs out of steel reinforced concrete. It must be because we very seldom see 150mph winds. I own a cottage built that way 100 years ago. Painting the roof with aluminiumised bituminous paint every 10 or so years to keep it waterproof is a bit of a hassle though.
Marty giving new meaning to “oil painting.” :)
You are a most resourceful man and I love your channel I have always tried to reperporse day to day stuff but you take it to the next level .thank you for so many enjoyable videos . And by the way don't make them too short. Cheers mate from Rick in Australia
Brilliant episode again , showing my father in law in poland 🇵🇱 we running through old episodes doing justice to a bottle of vodka 😀
Geweldig om te zien hoe je het doet 🤩👍👌💪✊ Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼🌹🌹
You're a rocket scientist mate. Really good going.
At this stage, I won't be surprised if even the copper treatment is done with some copper you mined from your property and refined in the backyard earlier on this season.
I bet you have the tools and skills for it.
The more that I watch your videos, I am envois of your skills. You should have been an engineer. The views of the area that you live are stunning! Thank you for posting.
Man Marty you have some great ideas with that mill and that clean energy you got going you can live a sustainable life without the world that's nice
Morning marty i can just about change a plug let alone build a saw mill bloody hell is there nothing that u cannot build or make thats why i love this channel watching you make or build things or getting things going keep up good work and i will keep watching thanks for these vids love em keep yourself safe untill next time
Marty, you're my go to spot for using recycled parts.🤔👍
I'm thinking nothing goes to waste around your home.😉
I'd be lost without my sawmill. I really like when things are repurposed. I am always digging through the piles at our local scrap yard finding treasures!
Good to see the David Brown doing useful work.
I legit laughed out loud when Cypress Hill started playing. I had to play it back 3 times to stop laughing.
Fuck yea bro
Took me two times👍
Hits from the bugle
hits from the bong!!!!
With the sound of the fuel gurgling in 😂😂😂
That's a mighty fine mill mate! Looks to be a lot of fun.
Tusen takk for videoen. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
As usual really enjoyed watching..learning and relaxing at the same time. You have a wonderful life. Just need you to give us videos more often!!! Is it because you are too busy having a good time. Regards from England
Anytime seeing You work with all that "old" machinery, which is in fact "oldschool" only but timeless in the sense of non-integrated, easily distinguishable systems to be singled out for repair and maintenance with "old wiper motor setup" sharpener, an "oiler brush" and a greasepress, and then seeing You getting more precise actual work results than any fancy computerized "hyperwoodbutcher 2500 special" would bring, I hope You might teach youngsters of the next generation what keeping up with work and machinery really is: knowing what kinda result You want/need, and concentrate on that while ignoring all the fancy parts put in by the marketing branches. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting design. Simple, but still quite effective. I do note that the only safety equipment, comes pre-installed right between one's ears. The best sort there is. Nice build.
A pity that we can't limit the sale to such devices to those with enough stuff between the ears!
Love watching you Marty.incredible talent.👏
You are a genius, Marty! I so admire your ingenuity and inventive abilities. Nice to see you back working at the home place on the mountain! Take care and I look forward to your future videos.
Hi Marty, I really appreciate your time showing us that awesome wood mill buddy. I learned alot about engines and how things work on our family Datsun 1200 Ute. They are a really reliable engine if cared for. You are a very inspiring man mate with your property their, and the things you do. Thankyou for taking us with you. Take care and stay safe.
Brilliant use of that cypress hill sample. 😁
Always enjoy the content Marty. Keep them coming.
I love the Reverse Imperial Marty System of measurement. 4x2, 6x2, etc.
That was, perhaps, one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time.
Once again, hit the thumbs up, then watch the video. ALWAYS a good watch seeing Kiwi Ingenuity alive and well. Thanks as always for sharing Marty.
Cheers
Pete'.
Amazing how one single person can be so skilled and knowledgeable! Great videos, great work!
The way you make timber is fantastic mate - terrific use of old equipment yet again with a great quality outcome. Love the tooth sharpener!
A “Rube Goldberg” type contraction, but I’m amazed at your ingenuity. Well done!
Another video from our ingenious Kiwi mate, you rippa. The little Datto engine has to be the most perfect choice. I love your easygoing style with ya vids. 🇦🇺🤙🏼
Here in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada (East Coast) , rule of thumb for drying lumber in the open is 1 year per inch of thickness. We call that sticking and use the castoffs from the milling process
That has to be the best personal sawmill I’ve ever seen. Great job. Ingenious.
What a cracking good sawmill! Bet you've saved yourself a small fortune milling your own trees. Keep up the good work at the new house.
I work at a small mill, 3 persons including my boss, We run a slightly customized Wood Mizer LT70, it's a good machine but it has no soul, boring to run but very reliable. I like you set up, I've had a similar idea rattling around in my head, was thinking I'd use a VW turbo diesel and bands.
David Brown doing the heavy lifting 👍
Cool mill, nice to be able to process your own lumber these days :).
That's the goofiest looking contraption I have ever saw. Watching the operation was lke watching something from a Dr. Zeus cartoon. But it works so well. LOL What a show. Thanks for the great video Marty.
Old Datto purrs along nicely, neat piece of kit! Cheers from New Hampshire, US
Your one clever fella Marty . All good stuff for sure . . Keep up the excellent work and content . From GB .

The old girl works well and makes straight cuts.
Hi Marty, thanks for showing us the sort of mill we use to use in the old days! The Datsun 120y motor is a good one and there use to be lots of them around and relatively cheap. Cheers mate. Harera
A fine piece of equipment Marty ! Mighty Datsun engine 😂
Thanks for a wonderful video , explaining your homebuilt, repurposed saw mill that may cut on X-Y plane. Outstanding!! You are gifted with great way of seeing how to make your machines come back to a working life, keep crafting/teaching us with your videos Mr.T, I enjoy watching here in Maine. :)
That cypress hill clip in made me laugh, cheers Marty 🍻
I laughed out loud at the Cypress Hill reference.
Too good!
Quality videos. Useful information. High entertainment value. Consistency. Thank you for sharing your work and your world with us Marty.

Love the mill. Enjoyed watching you cut those logs up thanks for sharing that video really appreciate it. 👍👍
Nice vid Marty, it must be very satisfying to mill wood from trees you planted decades ago on your own property. Those 2 x 4s came out nice too, should make for a good project some day soon.
As someone who use to run a sawmill all day long every day of the week that is pure genius my friend I love it 😀 and that blade sharpener is amazing im always impressed with how much stuff you recycle/ repurpose.
Nice bit of lumber. Great savings.
Making your own lumber looks like a ton of fun.
Cool blade sharpener
Totally concur with the previous comment. Marty is truly one in a million, so skilled personality wins the day. I would love to be the fly on the wall if Andrew Caramata and Marty met up over a bbq. Merci for thé wonderful insight. 👍🇫🇷🍷🇬🇧😎
Your ingenuity is astonishing my friend. World would be a better place if more people were like yourself instead of a throw it away and buy it new culture.
love that mill, best I've seen home made.
I can't wait to show this to my father. He loves your videos but isn't too good on the inner-webs, if you know what I mean. If I lived in an area that had lots of trees, I would have a saw mill for sure. This thing is amazing and I love that it's not a bandsaw, I feel like this cuts much faster! Very nice!
Damn... I only signed up for Angry Ram... little did I know what I was in for! You, sir, are an amazing gent. Thanks for your content!
If you have access to some old glass patio doors, you should consider building a solar drying kiln. The daily heat and relax makes really great wood for cabinets, furniture, etc. All it needs is the sun and a small solar powered exhaust fan.
What a great way to use your time in lock down, That dato engine should go for many more decades. Loving the updates.
Awesome machine you have there not that I've seen a lot of Sawmills but I don't recall ever seeing a dual blade one like that at first it seemed like it would be limited on what you could make but I guess if you know how to use it you could pretty much make whatever you need great video thanks for sharing
That is one great home built sawmill. I especially like the easy procedure for sharpening blade teeth!
Love the time lapse! You have some of the best videos on TH-cam Marty.
So glad to see you continuing to get it done!
Hi Marty, Going on the quality of the timber, I'm guessing you planted and pruned that tree - it certainly yielded some nice clean boards. It must be very satisfying growing a resource then converting it into a useable value added commodity with a hand made industrial quality mill, and no waste. Very cool, love your philosophy. Cheers
Yes thats right, I pruned my pines up to 6.5 metres, nice clear wood
I noticed that too, had some lovely looking sticks out of that, better than the rubbish we get at ITM now
My first thought in watching today’s video was “wow, that engine looks familiar”. My dad bought a new Datsun pickup back in 1969, and I probably haven’t seen a Datsun engine since 1974, but I recognized it right off. Cool!
Good job Marty.
🤭 hits from the bong . I had to reply it . 🤔 first was , wait was the what I thought and then hell yeh . 😄✌
Fantastic Marty! You’re the master of innovation. I’ve stopped using copper napthanate, in favor of something called cedarshield. The toxicity of the “green death”, as we call it, was too much. Gave me headaches…I couldn’t get that putrid smell out of my nose and clothes. The worst if I got some on my bare skin. Cedarshield is totally non-toxic and does the job…even smells great.
Thanks ill check it out, yeah copper nap does smell bad for a while
