I never tire of watching good old American ingenuity at work! That's an awesome sawmill, Jerry, and you made it yourself. I'm very impressed with this sawmill, and I hope that it serves you well for many years to come! Bravo, Jerry!

Bless You for showing us your build! I don't care what anyone says...your build (DIY) is the perfect example of utilizing the gifts that Our Creator put into You!! Blessings!!
I've made a bridge out of ebony for my cheap ukulele. Couldn't have done it without your videos. Thanks!
It's really awesome you didn't edit out issues. So we can all learn, find solutions and rethink adjustment & designs
Congratulations! That is a real accomplishment. Debugging and design revisions will always be a part of machine building.
Jim Grewe that is for sure. Thank you for watching.
Jerry, I think I've seen most all the homemade mill videos out there, till now. You have a nice way of explaining your process and thankfully don't edit out the mistakes or errors. You aren't embarrassed by them, nor should you be. I'm in the process of designing a portable trailer and will incorporate some of the things I've learned here. Thank you very much for the video
I'm amazed with the knowledge and talent you have my friend. You are a prime example that if you put your mind to a project you can get it done. God bless.. Till next time.🇺🇸🌹❤️
That is the best home built saw I've seen so far, as far as simplicity and functionality.
Great build and will suit most home millers.
Check out Matthew Cremona's mill. Of course it's probably 10 times the cost of this machine.
Awesome, as usual, Jerry ! Glad to see the polarity switch worked out for you.
That’s really impressive , even for Batman .Nice work Sir .
Your a get up and go sort of a guy, glad I can watch you doing interesting things while I breakfast on toast and coffee ... keep up the good work, good to see you tackle all the trials and tribulations and make this thing work ...
rab woody thank you very much.
I learn lot from watching a project like this. Thanks
I noticed a left and right dance of the whole square frame which holds the engine, on back . It seems like you need an x-shape structure on the top, to keep the structure from shimmy-from twisting back and forth, as you’re cutting the log. You’re doing a great job, engineering and designing it!
Holy smokes. a man of many talents! Enjoy your videos.
You're a man of many talents or just a lateral thinker! The enjoyment I get from watching you repair guitars is immense but this is just proof that you can turn you hand to anything, sadly a trait that seems to be lacking in todays world!
ozmid40scouple when you grow up without much money I figured out how to do what you got to do. thank you very kindly.
for a home made saw ............. I like it. Nice job. Wow .... that does move down SLOWLY
Love it when a plan comes together!
Randy Schartiger thank you. It has all kinds of potential.
Looks like a good home built sawmill. I am getting ready to start building my own sawmill. You give me a lot of good ideals on how i want to build my sawmill. Hope you have good luck sawing.
Any progress? Did you get a sawmill built?
If we were neighbours we'd have alot of fun . I think your doing a outstanding job
burton landkaster I'm sure we would. Thank you very much for watching. I just cut a bunch of large Cedar Logs. I plan to mail them up right away.
My 2 yr old grandson is fascinated watching all this :-)
Rosa String I thank you for sharing your ideas and by the way very good ideas I say that I love the background place you have in your video I guess it is part of the field of your home congratulations
Very good video and great work. I have started my build on my unit and I will be using a lot of your design, especially the raising of the unit for cut size. much better than the cable stuff I have seen on other researches I have done. I will be watching as you progress to your final product. Great job sir.
Patience seems to pay off for you and your band saw. Pretty cool operation. Love it.
+Joe Romo thank you very much. In part 2 I completely rebuild the saw a hundred and eighty degrees. In part 3 I saw some nice red cedar. Thanks for watching.
Hi Jerry ! As Cat Stevens and Rod Stewart once said : "The first cut is the deepest" !!! Congrats.
Wow! Caught this video as I was flying through the kitchen...always have to check to see if I am missing something...sure enough! Jerry, what a huge, but great project for you. Don't be discouraged with the little 'final touches', it will iron out and come together just fine. Then you will be getting it more automated. Next you'll be thinking on a solar kiln! And then, and then, and then...... Good job!!!
BarbedStar yes a kiln his in the near future that's for sure. Thank you very much for watching.
another person that weld with out removing rust and millscale. WOW!
I'm inspired, great job.
That's awesome! I love walnut, wonderful wood to work with and smells pretty darn good also.
Boudreau Guitars yes it is great wood. We are very lucky because we have a bunch of huge walnut trees on the farm. We've also got some very large Cedar. We have some very large Sycamore. And tons of various kinds of Oak as well as Hickory and a few other types.
Very impressive, nice build. If I may make a suggestion, On your elevation motor, use a larger sprocket if possible to change your ratio causing the chain to move faster.
Boy, you're a real jack of all trades. I'm quite similar myself, and have a small machine and woodworking shop. I've done many things from restoring an old baby grand piano, to building log splitters and cars. This is way better than watching the boring stuff they have on T.V. these days.
Be sure to watch part 2 and part 3 of The Sawmill. Part 2 I completely rebuild the saw 180 degrees to improve the performance. In part 3 I saw some really nice to Eastern Cedar
Yes, I've watched them all, and it sure is working better now.
I'd give multiple thumbs up if possible. I look forward to following your mill progress. I've plans of building one myself and appreciate you sharing your experiences, good and bad.
In part to I completely rebuilt the saw 180 degrees be sure to check that out. In part three I cut some very nice Cedar.
Thank you. I will.
Something to be proud of and i am certain you have the skills to make the small improvements. What a great creation though. TY for showing
I just love saw mills. Some locktite on those threads will keep them from vibrating loose. You will need to turn yourself some metal "v" groove wheels for in cold weather hauling a bump will crack that hard plastic. Great project and great video, thanks for sharing.
I tried Loctite several times. It wouldn't hold. I rebuilt The Sawmill in part 2 180° and I recut those threads to left handed. The wheels are not plastic. They are steel V groove Wheels. Thanks for watching.
The proverbial "Jack of all Trades." Now I understand why and how you analyze those guitar repairs.
Wow amazing work. I am absolutely at awww! of your work. Great job.
Tele Man65 thank you very much.
rats arsed thanks
I love it! I’m in the ozarks too. I’m about to build my sawmill, scouting parts out now.
I use to build portable sawmills in Ellington missouri, company is baker products. It was my most favorite job. I've moved on to better paying gigs but I sure do miss fabrication of metal to work wood. Very satisfying stuff. Good video
I have relatives in Ellington, MO. Spent a lot of time there as a child. Killed the first deer ever taken in Reynolds county with a bow there (according the cons. agent anyway). probably abut 1968. I was only 14 years old. My great grand parents, both sides, my grandmother, and my great uncle all lived there, not to mention a cousin or two.
@@RosaStringWorks interesting, I may know your relatives. It's a small community as you are aware.
Don't be too discouraged,,, you designed and built your own working saw mill, anyone who comments negatively most likely has never built anything EVER in their life, you did 😎 awesome
There are several other videos on it and I improved it as I went it works great now
You should move the motor closer to the center. Put on a drive belt that hangs loosely. Then add a tensioner pulley with a control arm to engage and disengage the drive belt. It will give the drive belt more power to the blade wheel and give you more control. It will also balance out the entire rig.
I would weld cross members around the four post at blade level! Love The Videos!
Nice job on that saw. Little thing here or there is expected.👍 Impressive
I think you have done a great job with the mill so far..
ncautoman57 thank you.
Good video. Jerry you are a man of all trades. Is there anything you can't make? lol. You are blessed to be so talented
Thomas Tommy thank you very kindly.
you do it all Jerry,and thats some pretty lumber
michaeladam caira thank you very much. I've cut quite a bit of lumber with it since. It works real well.
Sir this video helped me a lot, I learned more about this machine
When I make one this info helps me lot, thank you sir
Great build! I am about 3/4 thru with mine. It seems simple until you start to build one!!
1rustytree that is a fact. Good luck to you my friend.
Good job and well built.
no guts no glory.thank you for your courage
Karl Knapstein thank you for taking a look. Part 2 and part 3 are out now. The mill was completely rebuilt.
Reel McCoy mentioned your site for us to come over to and check out. I'm glad he did. Very interesting. Thanks.
+Ghil Reese thank you very much.
Wow! Mr. Rosa you are just amazing! You are a Gentleman Farmer/ Engineer now. Were you an engineer in your professional life? You must have been!
Seems to be a very good setup. Congrats
+Glenn Sparks I have a part 2 Anna part 3 out and in part 2 I completely rebuilt the whole saw 180 degrees. And it works even better. In part 3 I have it pretty well perfected and it's swollen some real nice Cedarwood. Thanks for watching.
man ur making me emotional jerry this old guy i knew he enjoyed making mchines and and repairing them but this for some reson just hits me right
red rum thank you.
Nice design and build.
Adventure Ryan thank you very much. I have completely rebuilt everything 180 degrees opposite of what you see period I will be putting a new video out in the near future it works even better now thank you.
What a talented bloke you are mate that's some machine.thanks from Darlington uk
mozzajayjc thank you.
Gettin er done. It’s all trial and air. Beats sitting at the kitchen table talking about buying one.
Amazing job you did, God bless you
That's very cool Jerry. Takes a while to work out the bugs. I've been thinking about building a resaw but that's a far as it's gotten. Was thinking I'd need four corner adjusters but you've proven two would work.
Dane Nichols thanks for taking a look. Good luck with your resaw.
Really love this design. It's the closest I've seen to the one that's still in my head :D I've finally got all the stuff together this weekend so I will be posting my own build soon. Some of the challenges that I have tho are that I live on a hill in Tennessee so there are NO flat spots. Also I bought a mostly put together rig from someone in the hopes of expediting my project but after I got it home and looked at it closer, I came to realize I'm going to have to do a lot of repair and redesign. The only thing I'm trying to add to mine that you don't already have is some kind of side ramp/lift since I don't have a big tractor and can't afford one. Good job! I liked and subscribed. Looking forward to updates.
Eddie Mckie thank you very much. Believe it or not. I took it completely apart and completely rebuilt it 180 degrees opposite of everything you'll see in an update down the road that it works much better.
Awesome machine mate!!!
Nice build.. I made the same pushing the blade mistake instead of pulling the blade through on my initial build... I see you corrected it though in your other videos...
Looks great. Very good ideas
boy i enjoyed that, can't wait for video #2 :) fantastic stuff
charlie ferguson thank you very much.
Nice job, you're a talented man .
Curious George thank you very much.
Despite the setbacks, it's a nice rig. No doubt by now you have made all the necessary refinements to ensure its use is superb.
+Kevin Cossentine thank you very much. In part 2 I completely rebuilt The Sawmill 180°. In part 3 I saw some very nice red cedar.
Will have to check that out. Thanks and you're welcome. :-)
good work, I hope to build one similar soon!
Great design great build. Very impressive.
Gil Lamb thank you very kindly.
This guy is amazing.. sure wish he was a neighbor of mine. LOL . Great fun here and enjoyed your project !
Thank you very much.
This is a project I'd love to tackle....simply cant afford it at the moment...Have had the same idea for a few years ... I'd probably never go in the house again if I had a bandsaw mill.....I have 62 acres that would rather quickly become void of trees....lol....OK maybe not the entire tract but I guarantee you I'd thin the woodlands quite a bit around the homestead here....Thank you for sharing this.... this video will surely be a great asset if and when I ever get to my own project !
Thank you very much.
Not bad at all. I like to have one for myself these days
Great design Jerry, very ingenious and functional, great job!
Thanks for posting.
Great job!
You can probably put a speed regulator on your wench. That way you can move faster at a distance for adjustment and then slow it down for exact adjustment. Just a thought. Oh yeah!🤔 just make sure you grease the threaded rod because it may cease up.
Looks great!!
That’s quite a project. I’m sure that will come in real handy.
Dale Palmer thank you. I've already got more projects planned than I can shake a stick at.
This is great. Good on ya.
I can't think of a way to stop the rotational "wobble" but I'm sure you will with enough time with her.
There are two more videos on this machine. In the second one I completely rebuilt the machine 180°. On the third one I'm cutting some really nice red cedar.
You put a egg on your shoe and you really. Beat it,..carry on. Jerry ...!!!!!!!!!
That's going to be a nice outfit Jerry! Man, you've been busy!
Kent Owens yes sir. Thank you very much.
wow! good job, very useful videos, subscribed!!!
I like it just fine and just like anything else the bugs will work out, Great Build
In part to I rebuilt the machine 180 degrees. In part 3 I cut some really nice red cedar
Nice start.
There is a part 2 and a part 3. Hope you have time to take a look.
Nice saw...maybe a few cross braces on the head to help keep it from racking as you push it. My buddy has a home built one as well, he rigged up a water/soap drip on it. slowly drips water with a little dish soap on the blade, cuts better, easier to push and saves the blade from gumming up. Loctite 620 will keep that bolt in place.
40cleco thank you very much. I have scratched my brain out trying to find a way to put cross braces on it but they are all get in the way of something. I definitely will be putting a drip on it. I just haven't had time yet. Plus the Walnut log was absolutely saturated with water.
I had the same thoughts as 40cleco, but could also see the issues that were a problem for you. I'd noticed the wobble of the frame & thought it needed some diagonal bracing to stabilize the traveling frame, but where could you put them to not be in the way. I've used short pieces of EMT conduit to make short, diagonal braces. Just cut it to a size which may not interfere with it's operation, flatten the ends a short distance with a press, then drill holes in the flattened part & bolt diagonally across a corner that, hopefully, won't be in the way. They do not need to be that long. Just long enough to stabilize the corners. Otherwise, your machine looks like a piece of art. Well done, and good luck, Sir.
Really like the idea
Danil Balkan thank you very much.
Nice saw, that’s so cool, you need to cut some electric guitar body blanks and build something
Awesome mill. My only tweet I can recommend is to make a cross brace horizontally above the engine just about where that handle is where u push from.
Ur guide bearing that fell off could perhaps use a flat washer to the back and “lock-tite” on the threads to prevent it going loose again.
Obviously much better than chainsaw mill, thanks I want to build my own with this ideas.
Super Cool. Nice job and thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you very much. In part 2 I rebuilt the saw 180 degrees. And part 3 I saw some really nice Cedar.
Cool. I will be sure to watch. I fell a tree or two (including Cedar; see video on my channel) and have taken to a local guy with a mill. I want to build one myself so I can saw my own lumber.
They're nice to have. I will warn you they're more expensive to build than you probably would expect. And it's a lot more work than you would imagine cutting your own Lumber. In hindsight I will tell you it's definitely cheaper and easier to take it somewhere and have it sawn. But I have a large farm with more than 200 Acres of woods and I'm always sawing trees down so it seems to make sense but it is a heck of a lot of work. Thank goodness I have a bobcat to lift the logs.
Wow good job
Ya still gotta be happy with that!
ElderlyIron I am pretty happy with it so far. I've since made a few more improvements. I just cut up a 17 foot long white oak log. It was a little small, but I got three nice 2x8s out of it for my trailer deck I want to resurface.
You do good work. Everything looks straight , square, and pretty well thought out design. The welds look good as well. The video is from 2 years back so I figure you solved the self-loosening screws...I have 2 or 3 suggestions for that problem. The quickest and cheapest is probably LocTite, or you could go with nylon inserted lock nuts, or double nut it...tighten the nut and run another against it and tighten them against one another. Left handed nuts and bolts are available but will they be the day that nut drops into high grass and disappears forever? Great project.
In part 2 I completely rebuild the saw 180° which also allowed me to put in left-handed threads on the bolts and that kept them tight. I'm part 3 I saw some red cedar which was really nice.
Great design!
In part 2 I completely rebuilt the saw 180 degrees. In part 3 I saw some really nice red cedar.
Very nice work
You are always busy, it seems. The sawmill should be a handy thing to have
Very nice! starting with an old trailer frame would be good. If the lead screws were independent, you could make siding. Stepper controlled?
Hermoso una obra de arte garcias muchas gracias por compartir tu sabiduria. Hermanos un abrazo gigante sige dando a conocer al mundo tus conocimientos.
Whole lot of guitar necks right there. 👍
Boudreau Guitars yes sir. There is all kinds of potential. Thank you for watching.
not sure if someone has mentioned this or not but acme rod would be awesome on the mill to raise and lower it. Nice work thats a sweet set up.
Much appreciated, thanks for sharing your project, gives vision and enjoyment, I m hoping to build a bandsaw mill ussing trailer bed and lift cutting frame on off ,that's my idea .
Nice Work! 👍🙋🏻🇩🇪
Perhaps drilling and safety wire would do the trick on anything prone to working loose with vibration. Thanks for the video and the honesty.
Hi.I like the way you biuld this.It is amazing how the blade stays on that narrow wheel.I am looking at biulding something maybe smaller.Great video.
In part two I rebuilt the saw 180° in part 3 I saw a bunch of red cedar
