- Episode #43. Part 2 progress on the Sawmill build. Frame is complete and cable lift system is built. Battery tray for engine battery is fabricated. Finish welding saw head. A DIY cable crimp tool for swaging cables. An idea for band wheel guards that don't cost a lot.
I love yer idea of using the bolt cutters for crimping. I am certainly gonna do that Thank you for sharing ideas !!!
Glad you found something useful in our video. The cheap crimpers work amazingly well. I could not justify $75 for a few squish marks in aluminum crimps. I love making my own tools and saving money for other crazy ideas...it is all fun. Thanks for the comment and thank You for watching.
I hit the subscribe button as fast and as hard as I could! You are the man of my heart! I just love your ingenuity and frugality. Your creative use of scrap and repurposed parts and materials is deeply inspiring. You still manage do it with a keen attention to detail and aesthetic presentation. It's rare to find such a gem on TH-cam where most builds are slapped together sloppy contraptions, even when made with the best quality purpose-made parts and materials. The few channels I've come across with a similar ethic as yours are usually based in some third-world country where they're forced to scavenge for what they need,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on this video. Such a kind comment also.
My intention for these videos is indeed to inspire others to look at a goal in different ways and hopefully get past construction obstacles. I did not invent any of these concepts, this is just my path to an end. When you have the option, create your own path and apply the craftsmanship you possess...the rest follows.
Thanks again for watching!
Number one, these saws are 6-10k if purchased from a professional manufacturer. Number two, freaking awesome diy project and I have to say congratulations and from what I see, success 100%. Thank you
Thank you for watching our video and takng the time to leave a comment. The manufactured saws went into log back orders with the lumber shortage. I had a lot of salvaged parts laying around...and it is satisfying to see your own creation work. We have been having fun with the saw. Very addictive cutting you own lumber. Lots to learn.
Nicely made!
Thanks! You need to do more videos. Liked your train video.
I have to say, your footage is great. Very helpful. I really like your sawhead and lifting mechanism. I think I'm going to change to my plans to incorporate your some of your design ideas. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Thank you for watching our video and thank you for the kind comment. Most of my sawmill is the ideas of other people found across the internet. I put my spin on things for the materials and capability I had on hand. It is awesome to hear this video somehow helped someone with their project.
This is outstanding
I learn a lot from others. Just hoped to pay forward with my spin on things. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Это лучшая пила которая есть на просторах ютюба. Качество исполнения на уровне завода
Большое спасибо за ваш добрый комментарий. Пила превзошла все мои ожидания. Однако я только начинающий пильщик, и мне нужно многому научиться. Спасибо за просмотр!
Wow! Subscribed
Wow! Thanks!
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Good jobe
Thanks for watching!
I may have missed it, but how many revolutions per inch on the lift?
Two handle turns per inch. The jack is 4 threads per inch. Hope that answers things. Thanks for watching.!
How did you manage to notch out the hard jaws of the bolt cutter?
I used a small air powered die grinder with a carbide burr. The bolt cutter jaws were softer than I imagined. I had considered using a torch or burning out the notch with a welding rod. An abrasive hacksaw blade would work. Thank you for watching.
Really nice build! High quality in every detail. A question, the band wheels that you are using. Are they standard belt wheels? Type A or type B (sda/sdb)?
Btw, like your style of videos. Nice, clear and concise explanations. No babbling or music that makes your ears cry 👍😊
Thanks! The band wheels are standard pulleys/sheaves rated for A and B belts. I am using Gates BX Tri-Power belts. Ideas towards providing a crowned surface for blade to run upon, higher power capacity, notched for flex around small pulleys, notched for cooling, and hopefully notches aid clearing sawdust that will build under v-belts. So far it has been working well. Thank You for watching.
Thank you! I'm gathering info to start my build :) Keep up the good work.
@@andreaslundback Good luck no your sawmill build...be sure to share :)
Incredible build. Very impressed with your ideas and machining skills. Do you have a part number and website where you purchased the pulleys for the head lift mechanism? Thanks!
Thank you! The pulleys were an eBay purchase. If you search aluminum cable pulley fitness gym keywords you will find current offerings. I believe I used the 95mm pulleys. Shop carefully, it is possible to buy a set of 8 for the cost of two. There is some weird pricing on the pulleys. I looked for pulleys sold in the US to avoid China shipment and found a seller taking offers on a quantity of 8. The bushings pressed in the bearings are some kind of powered iron and drilled easy for my 1/2" hardware. I popped out the bushings to drill them. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project.
I am assuming you have three phase power in your shop
Many years ago I had a digital 3 phase inverter for an old CNC vertical mill. Sold off equipment for our transition to the Mountain where the sawmill currently lives.
what is the cut height capacity of this mill?
The mill was built to accept 26” diameter logs. There is clearance for 28”. Quickly in the area of logs I would not want to move. Thanks for watching.
Great work, but in most part an overkill, i mean, does the battery realy needed that robust housing?
Weight of a machine can aid it's final function in a positive way. Keep in mind that most of this build was using scrap laying around the shop from previous projects or auction pile materials. If I could see a functional part in a piece of tube that would take the least amount of fabrication, that is what I used. I did toss in a few extras just to keep it interesting. The battery mount was a scrap piece of tube...the silly part was drilling holes in it but helps clean out water and sawdust.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment!
@@SpencersMountain youre welcome, i understand your point...😊
thank you for doing the videos, this is very interesting. I am a welder by trade but am not sure if there is any economic advantage of the DIY approach. You probably have way over a $1000 in parts to start with, and without a blue print you are talking costly trail and error. If you ever consider selling plans you could help others and yourself.
I am pretty good at seeing a part in a piece of metal. Behind the scenes, I did use CAD to dimension parts and check fit. Drawing things out in advance is always a good plan.
This saw is a collection of ideas to to use a lot of existing parts in the shop. It is not a design I recommend for DIY. The are simpler ways to built a saw. In the end, cost is about what you get for results. As a machinist, a heavy machine resists the stress of work it has to do and produces best finish. But more weight also costs more.
For plans, I would not do this machine since I feel it is possibly too advanced and would prevent someone from reaching a dream. There are a lot of DIY mill videos...maybe my videos will help past a problem that comes up in someone's build. Thank you for your comment and watching my video, really appreciate our viewers!
If the only value metric is time/cost to get a saw in your hands, then certainly you should just go buy a commercial mill. It has all of the advantages of someone else working through the issues of putting a design into production and then making it available at a volume manufacturing cost. But you'll find people engaging in all sorts of activities where learning, curiosity of experimentation, personal satisfaction, etc.. are strong (if not the primary) motivation for why one chooses to do invest time in "something like that". Others might choose to swing golf clubs around in the afternoon where this gentleman produces his own tool and (even more striking to me personally) takes the time to document his process to share with others for gratis.
OK MISTER
Impressive build. Was your design influenced by the Woodlan Mills design? I see a lot of similarities.
It is similar. I did use their lift system but found they borrowed and were copied by other commercial saws. Most of this build came from scrap or repurpose materials. Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching.
Had to edit above was replying to wrong video.
