We absolutely love your channel. Your parents must be so proud of you. My husband is an engineer and does everything himself, whether it be landscaping, electrics, plumbing, decorating, putting a bathroom or a kitchen in, servicing the car, etc. I’m so lucky to have a hubby like this. Unfortunately, I do think we put too much on him, as he’s always the first one we ask for help. It’s lovely to see someone so young, that’s so talented, and watching you is always a pleasure. I really wish yourself and Dot have a lovely, wonderful life in your paradise. You two deserve it so much 💓😊💓
Dear Rachel M.
👍👌👏 Very well said Ma'am. Congrats for having such a good and talented guy right by your side.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 thank you. Hoping you and your family are safe and well during this pandemic 💓💓💓

Thx. Here are some 💚💚💚 in return (of course in my favourite colour)!
Sincerely yours.
what of Wales do live?

11:28 “...from a jet engine I made years ago.”
Sometimes I forget just how vast your experience in engineering is Kris.
Great video! Made my week!
And did you notice when you turned her on the sun shone! Or was that from your smile?
The second he said that I was like "Let me scroll down cuz I know that's going to be the best comment". lol
You make everything seem easy to do, when in fact anyone who ever tried to build anything knows how hard it really is.
That did not look easy to me at all ! Lol!!!!🤣😬😳
This is the best part of the week
yeah for me too... kinda sad but also nice to have something to look forward to!
Favorite part of the week settling down to watch kris, seriously could watch you all day and not get bored. Another great video 👍👏👏👏👏
Dude! You're a complete renaissance man! Stupendous!!!
My thoughts exactly - he could repopulate the world with 60-80% of the most seminal engineering discoveries if the 'lights go out' again!
Very pleasant to hear the birds chirping! Well done mate💪
I wish I had a third of your drive, patience, organization and vision! Great work! Wish we were on the same continent...I’d volunteer on a daily basis 🤣😀
"A jet engine you made a few years ago?" LOL, we all made jet engines when we were younger! There is a story here you must share sometime :)
Pulse jets are a fun time!
That made me smile as well ...I’m nearly seventy and still haven’t made a jet engine ..😂...brilliant videos ..
Enjoy your take of a video
What do I know about what you are doing but I enjoy every minute
Thanks you are great!
How do you know how to do these things?!?!
No wonder you get excited when all these things you build work . Borderline Mr practical genius ......It is fascinating to watch ! 🎉👍
well done Kris you must be so proud of yourself i thought the electric hydro was good but am amazed at how this mill is coming along and your self thought too what an amazing achievement how many off us here sat on our arse with only mere fantasise to try accomplish such things. your willingness to fail and learn from them is really inspiring . there is no doubt a bandsaw mill will prove to be an excellent addition to your homestead. keep safe mate
regards Dave
Next video Kris brings out a four legged pod ... just something from my moon lander I made a few years ago! ...
The beaming smile when you brought your creation to life sums it all up 😬....another great inspirational video of what can be achieved by yourself if you take time to research and then actually get off the sofa ago and try it/tweak it and make it work! Brilliant stuff as usual Kris....look forward to the next part..
These days when everyone is MIGing and TIGing, its cool to see someone building something with good old stick welding.
What an excellent entrepreneurial guy you are Kris! I just love it!
Yeehaw! Looking forward to seeing this ripping through some logs. :)
Me 2!!!!
Hi Kris, i'm in the process of watching all your videos on this channel...all I can say is wow you must have the mind of a genius with all your endeavours. Fascinating watching you overcome obstacles. Please keep up the good work.
Cant wait to see this cut!!
Always good to see a video update from you. Thank you for sharing with us Mate- Cheers!
It's coming together! I really enjoyed seeing how you designed and then overcame flaws. Very cool!
Pivot your idler with a pulley to engage and disengage for startup. Can always add a pulley in top if belt slap becomes a thing. Great looking machine!
We are very happy to have found your channel. You are so creative and demonstrate the concept, the first iteration and then complete the repeats without making us watch the same process multiple times. Than to you and Dot for sharing your lives. God bless.
Building it up from scratch is absolutely amazing!
Kris the grin on your face is priceless
Really enjoying the band saw mill build Kris. I like your trial and error process, and showing how you're going about developing your saw mill on the fly. You're gonna be sawing logs in no time.
Oh lord love the thought processes whilst building
You know so much about so many things and that’s why you figure out what you need to do and just do it! I love that!!! Thanks for a wonderful video!!
Heath Robinson would be proud of you!
Kris - Saturday morning here and what a great start to my day watching your video on the development of your band saw!! I am really looking forward to the next installment. 😊
Your joy at getting this working is truly infectious. Your the best man :)
Great to see this project coming along nicely Kris, thanks for the update.
Great stuff saying hello from very deep south of the South Island New Zealand
Pretty cool! Safety! Safety! Safety! Looking forward to see how the blade functions.Great job! Nice to see the smile of satisfaction on your face!👍
Great build Kris another sawmill I've seen built. As I watch this video I can see one of Mathew Cremona's in the play list. It was he that I first watched building his own sawmill, I have seen him cutting slabs from trees as big as almost 5' across. He is now about to move it to his new property. That post hammer was also a great build, both tools are time and efficient without wearing you and Dot out. You've never been still in all the time I have watched your videos. I wish you all the best in all of your projects.
Kris Harbour natural building and jet engines ! LOL! a man of many interests
That's such a great piece of home engineering. I am getting more and more inspired by your builds. Looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe J.
Another inspiring video Kris.... You never cease to amaze me as I'm sitting here in my pants.
Lovely bit of metal work there can’t wait to see it cut!
What an amazing individual.
All I can say is yet again you have awed me with your skill. Respect ✊🏻
Love it kris, well done.
I like watching your shows the reason is because you talk sense and your honest, there are only a few people that are on you tube that are enjoyable to watch, i have no complaints mate only praise good on ya mate👍
that's real engineering
The smile on the start - worth the whole video!!
Fantastic! Methodical i Like that. Good Luck Kris. cheers.
Can't wait to see this beast milling some lumber!
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Absolutely awesome Kris. Well impressed. 👍
Love the way the tape measure took cover at the first steel cut😅
Congratulations! Can't wait to see it cutting!
Congrats Mister!! Enjoy your well earned proud joy! Greetings
this thing is going to be unstoppable!! great choice with that engine!
Brilliant Kris, maybe add another jockey pully above the belt tensioner - just to pull the belt down and away from the blade. {less wear on belt}.........carry on sir !
I think the belt acts as a rubber tire for the blade on the wheel(like the woodmizer sawmills), so it doesn't matter if it touches the blade, because the blade gets pressed on the belt with a lot of force anyways
Little tip: those kind of pulleys work because of friction, if you use this type of belt you are loosing surface area and therefore friction. I'm afraid the system might slip when you introduce forces from the blade. Cheers, keep up the good work!
congratulations on not detonating :) bet you cant wait to start milling, same as us i reckon. The light has changed, spring is on its way, hope fully the rain will die down for a few minutes.
Well done, you accomplish some of the most amazing things.
Amazing as always. Just the thing to start my weekend.
A true jack of all trades!
This is amazing to watch
The details are making this video fantastic!
Looking good this will save so much time, so the trees can be cut in situ. Keep up the good work.
This series might be as popular as hydro once the youtube algorithm catches up. This is really, really good.
Super Chuffed for you - is there nothing you cant do? lol Seriously well done, you are an inspiration
You never cease to amaze us!
Love your videos thanks. I have a lot of experience with sliding gates which uses the same rollers and tracks, I found if you weld a length of 14 or 16 mm round stock on the angle it glides with much more ease and prevents any dirt buildup
Looking great so far. You've been doing your homework i see. I wouldn't recommend using wood slats on top of the log bed as they will create friction and wear fast when loading and dragging logs onto it.
The beds on my mill and almost all others are painted steel and will always stay true. I believe mine are powder coated. I couldn't see the cable ends in the video, but you might want to add an eyebolt or a turnbuckle for cable adjustment at the end of the cable. Being heavier on one side can cause the 2 cables to stretch at different rates causing the blade to track downwards on the heavy side in time.
Keep up the great work there Kris.
Good stuff Dr Harbour! Can't wait for the body parts to come in and you start building The Monster!
Keep us posted mate on everything you do!!! Makes me so jealous!!
awesome to see your progress!
Hello from Virginia! Good to see your progress!
Great! I'm sure that your bandsaw will do everything you want it to do when it's done.
A bit of advice from someone that has worked a few years with steel. I sometimes remove my angle grinder's guard to get it in to weird positions. But I always put it back on when I'm done with that task. I often rest my thumb against the guard to do precise cuts, so for me it is an advantage to have it mounted anyways.
Are you an engineer by education? Or are you just VERY handy and have a bright brain?? I am really impressed!!
Awesome job! Really enjoying your videos.
Just ......so ......clever! And, inspirational!
always fun - thanks for the video !
Thanks for posting and sharing! very impressive set up. curious to see how the water cooler works.
Outstanding Brother ... problem solving at it’s finest
Hi Kris,
Good to see it working...
Take care.
Paul,,
Hello from Los Angeles California , as usual I am amazed! 👍
Always look forward to you posting your videos.
Das wird eine tolle Säge, da bin ich mir sicher 💪👍
that was so very satisfying. great work hun!
Fair play Chris. Been watching your vids since day, your always Teg! Much love from a fellow Welsh. Link up one day hopefully. Got lots to share. Peace. Oli and India xx mid Wales
Fuel tank ?! Jet Engine !!. this is Rocket Science..! just found your channel and it's up there with the best...keep it up and Good Luck !
that will be a helpful addition to your work.
Looks brilliant. I bet you can’t wait to make your first cut 😊
Hope you’re putting a roof on it to protect your engine...maybe some clear corrugated plastic 👍
That’s just amazing 🤩
i love it that the old jet tank 'powers' the saw
You are going to need a machine port or barn to store all this equipment. I can't wait to see the saw at work.👍
wow thank you for your kindness!
Great video, and great build. Thanks for sharing. Leaving the mistakes in the video then explaining and fixing them is much appreciated. Keep up the good work!!
Good job showing, I thinking about building me one that one you got there looks nice. Well see ya on the next one man have a great one.
I strongly recommend a half decent 2nd hand radio lapel mic. They do require some discipline regarding plugging, switching and changing batteries but once you’ve got the hang of it the difference in sound quality will be total! Great episode though, thank you!
CZcams’s genius, thank you.
A bicycle chain guard would work perfectly to guard the belt from the blade. I suggest the chain guard used on the Schwinn Stingray bicycle 😁
You're some man for one man 👍
Fantastic work! It's really coming along, and great job adjusting to design constraints on the fly. I'm a sawyer by trade, and a few things that may help you out if it's not too late already-
I saw it mentioned elsewhere in the comments too, but an extra wheel pushing down on the slack between motor and flywheel would be a good safety feature to prevent the vibration of the drive belt from hitting the blade. Assuming that the blade will ride the drive belt on the transmission side (and another tyre on the other wheel), the blade will be going the same speed as the belt so the chances of the teeth catching it are minimized, but there is also a significant amount of vibration in the drive belts and the way yours is setup, if it breaks the saw blade will be almost guaranteed to fly off.
Also, consider a downward tensioning system to hold the carriage head steady while milling. The weight of the motor and water add up, but may not be enough to counteract the motor vibrations. Looking at the footage it seems to be visibly moving the carriage up and down while running, and even that much movement can cause some funky cuts as well as introduce a fair bit of stress to the blade on cut entry before the log stabilizes it. Possibly some springs in the system or even a second ratchet that can provide positive downward pull once the cut height is set.
Looking forward to seeing you milling on something other than the alaskan mill! I run an 8 foot bar and know exactly how slow and painful it can be!
Once you start cutting wood I am sure I will understand how the contraption works ... it’s brilliant anyway!
Awesome work Kris, thanks! ✅✅✅👍👍👍💯💯💯
mate what a result
That grin when it fired up was classic. Can't wait to see it slabbing out some wood. What's next for your processing line -- a drying kiln? :D
solar style...
@@monabale8263 Holy cow, I didn't even know that was a thing, then this vid poppped up in my recommended: czcams.com/video/rXiOJJQubtM/video.html
That'd fit right in on the Harbour Homestead!
