@@JCWren the log gets fed into the blade. If you were standing at the left side the blade rotated clockwise and the log is fed into the blade. Worse case the board that is cut could move. The log is fastened into the carriage. Between that and the weight there's no way the log could be sent airborne. As far as the blade goes there's a large shaft in the center of the blade that spins it. You would see it wobble if it ever broke and it would drop down or bury itself into the deck and stop spinning before it could come flying out.
😂it'll only happen once... the true safety guy's motto. Love that beautiful maple beam, a lot of folks have no idea how hard maple is and how much havoc it will wreak on a saw.
I worked in a pallet factory, pile of sawdust in a corner no one saw smoldered for 3 days before someone smelled it-- a 1/4" farther and it would have gotten into the framing of the building...that was made of yellow pine sawed in the 1950s... Glad someone can smell better than I do!
Sometimes it seems like the simplest things turn out to be the most complicated things. The most important thing is to keep at it and get the job done. Great job! God Bless!
Love your content and the journey. Been around on FB since before your outhouse video (around the catfish in the outdoor kitchen). Started my family's Homestead journey in Appalachia this past spring. Keep lettin 'er wobble.
If you'll move the engine up until the driveshaft is straight and level, it'll help lessen the vibrations from the 2 less than equal angles joints .. I'd inspect that shaft for some wobble too..
How long before you switch from the drive shaft to a sheeve and belts, doing that should help with minor mis-alignment and shock loads on the drive train. That change over will take some "engineering". The Jimmy would have to move closer to the ground and some pillow block bearings mounted with some shafting work too. Or another option, we used a" rough service rubber shaft tire coupling" between a 50 hp electric motor and a rotary debarker. That type of coupling will work with some mis-alignment and takes shock loads rather well. Some to the larger tire couplings are made to handle way over 1,000 horsepower.
I might be interested in building your slip clutch drive shaft. I builddrive shafts out of my garage most of the time they're just for pickup trucks, but I can see what I can do for a sawmill
7:12 yeah with as close to level as you have them and the fact its not on a truck… i dont think the double cardon was helping. If anything i think it was hurting.
Is it possible to add a spring engaging clutch (like what some older farm implements use) to the drive shaft? It would let sudden shocks to slip the cluch, instead of blowing U-joints
WOW! I'm so sorry things like this keeps happenin when you make content for us. We'll, at least ya got er done! That is one beautiful beam! God bless.😊❤
Looks like good wood work to me, wood was cocked just right! As always I Love you and you still need a Skid Steer! (Carlos will understand just buy her a pot belly pig)
I’m in Michigan. I need some Logs sod for my log cabin. I’m building on my channel. Please let me know how I can get a hold of you to have some cut already have the Logs
I'd trust Andy to just about anything... that said it blows my mind that he doesn't take 12 seconds to brush off the sawdust before working on sensitive stuff like ujoints and such.
Wives will do that when wives don't understand yet. 😏 You're my favorite one of the other three. They just for colours. 🤨 She be like this. LoL. Pffth.
Little known fact,unscrupulous fuel sellers have been know to water down their fuel and gasoline with water,some as high as 10-15% water as it nets them an additional 10-15% pure profit which can be a huge chunk of change over a years worth of fuel sales and they can always blame it kn the c9nsimers storage tanks,vehicles,equipment and who is to prove otherwise...
Is better be called a hippie than a yuppie any day of the week as far as long hair goes Samson from the Bible they cut his hair took his strength away😊
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That saw blade is terrifying.
What can go wrong will go wrong with audience.
My Dad had a similar sawmill setup. You're more likely to respect the twirling blade of death when there's less safety in place lol.
I'm more concerned about the twirling blade of death deciding to go on a walkabout, or a board getting bound up and turning into a cruise missile.

So happy you started posting videos again.
He's been pretty active on his FB the whole time.
I end up watching both

Good Morning Andy and Family!! ☕🍂🍁

Andy true size boards are great.

This channel is the definition of "On day at a time" One job at a time.
One breakdown at a time.
I love how the more tired and frustrated you get, the more your southern accent comes out 😂
Reminds me of the old Hee Haw song! "Gloom despair agony on end, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!" Great video!
Great video Andy, it seems the amount of maintenance never ends 👍✌️🇺🇲

A spring clutch from a bush hog shaft would likely be easier to adapt
I noticed on the back of your sweatshirt it says Otway.
Is that the Otway down at the coast of NC or is their one in Michigan?

That reminds me of my days sawing at the mill in Northern Minnesota!

Using a battery powered grinding wheel to cut the other grinding wheel back to the nut was freaking genius! 😎
Home improvement with, Handy! Lmfao!!!
Way to getter done!
How far north are you, we're still 40's in Kalamazoo. I just started "building" me a shop, hoping to have a roof up before snow
"It'll only happen once" LOL 😂
Just started watching where you located
Every moment of you is Shear joy, being human is peaceful.
A little bad luck=greatness in the future
Talk about let it wobble!!!! 😂
Great job, God bless

At least Jack's ears won't get cold in them Michigan winters.
WOW! I'm so sorry things like this keeps happenin when you make content for us. We'll, at least ya got er done! That is one beautiful beam! God bless.😊❤
Now that is some beautiful wood…. Stay safe bud.

Buy the non greasable spicer......better joints
Love to see your wife in the binkl doing your videos
Install a trolley track above on So you can lift them beans and move them
