Sawmill Build Start to Finish

- This is a full process of a swingblade sawmill build - made from scratch. The function of the mill is in its name "swingblade" - the blade swings 90 degrees making it possible to cut both ways while moving the carriage up and down the log resulting in dimensional lumber in one pass. I built a chainsaw mill ten years ago and milled lumber that I used for my cabin / sauna house project. Then I built a bandsaw mill five years ago and used the cut lumber to build a partition in my barn I currently call my workshop. Both of them worked great, bandsaw mill was faster than chainsaw mill for sure. But I think I there's an even faster mill and swingblade sawmill in my opinion is just that. There are different types of swingblade sawmills, one type utilizes a railway system where the saw carriage rides on rails so both rails are in the way when loading the logs. This is a beam-type mill where the saw carriage is suspended on a single beam over the log that sits on the ground fixed by a couple of wedges so it doesn't roll off while cutting. There is no need to clamp the log down, there's no need to move and turn the log. Cut depth and width adjustments are all made on the sawmill beam end frames. I think this design is ingenious! And it cuts great!
This sawmill build is based on www.turbosawmill.com "Manual Mill" design and it is patent pending.

Thank you Donny for not succumbing to the temptation to add music to your videos. I like the fact that I can hear the whole process of what you are doing. The grinding and cutting noises add to the video.
From Andrew (Australia)
Man Donny, what a feat of engineering to make that track! My hat is off to you sir! Outstanding job!
I've watched this channel since he began. He's an absolute inspiration and it's awesome to watch his skill level increase. He is past master at this point.
Excellent project build from test bed to full beam, top job Donn.
you are a genius and very fine maker
Almost a million subs!! Awesome channel and loads of cool projects you've done, well done to you sir. 👍
Definitely a win.
I can’t imagine what you’re going to do next.
You are monster builder. Standing ovation Sir.
Mammamiaaaaaaa, t’es un artiste …
T’as pleins de choses que nous pouvons apprendre de toi
Merci
👏😊
amazing job , i have watched from start to finish
Exceptional work. Respect👍
Well done Donny your accuracy cutting with the angle grinder is amazing I don’t do enough and what I do is rubbish keep it up👍
The REAL beauty of a personal sawmill is NOT cutting regular dimensional stock but
sizes that the lumber store doesn't have and can't get.
It literally changes your designs from the inside out, for the better.
Yup, only imagination is the limit.👍
Kamu adalah Sosok idola saya...semua ide dan hasil karyamu sangat memberi inspirasi untuk saya...sukses selalu kawan...you the best

this is one big electric motor, I was surprised seeing it LOL
The best and the calculations done on the number
Make a roof for it keep the weather off great build
Ya! ah ha! i think that beast is a keeper .good job man.
Interesting. Very nice work
Thanks again 👍 bro
Pretty slick :)
Снимаю шляпу! До таких глобальных моментов я не доходил.
16:34 Nice modification to the vernier calliper.
Pretty sweet.
Increíble!!! Felicitaciones 🎉
Exelente proyecto ¡ de Argentina 👏👏
I'll go along with that, it's definitely a keeper. You did a fantastic job building the swing blade saw. Thanks for sharing this quick version too but I really enjoyed the ride along on the initial build where you were making and changing to begin with. That really showed the hard work and fabricating that you do so well. You did good my friend. Stay safe and Peace be with you and your families during this time of the year and may Happiness continue through the new year ahead . O D D Fred.
Thank you for the good wishes Fred. May you and your family be safe as well! 🙏 Greetings from Estonia.👍
Fabuloso el video , es usted un maestro . 👌👌💪💪👍👍👍
God jul til dig og din familie jeg ser alle dine CZcams indslag hilsen fra en fan fra Danmark .😊
Happy holidays from Estonia.🤗
wow, this is very impressive as usual! congratulations
Thank you🤗
I LIKETHIS VIDEO IT IS AMAZING THANK YOU FOR SHARE TO VIEW AND I WISH YOUR CHANNEL MORE SUCCESS,
Brilliant! I need something like that in my remote areas of the Mighty Sepik River & Keram villages in Papua New Guinea. Thank you for sharing this informative video. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
You might want to check out Turbosawmill products which design my sawmill is based on. They will definitely have something suitable for you. 👍
Thank you very much, May God Bless you.@@DonnDIY
Safety first Good job

Я не вижу никаких чертежей, вы просто необыкновенный талант.
That IS very well , thank you
Wenn man Ihre Videos anschaut, fragt man sich ernsthaft, ob es auch etwas geben mag, das sie nicht beherrschen !? Es sieht alles so spielerisch leicht, einfach aus. Ich bin aufrichtig beeindruckt !!!
Danke!
le top je ne trouve pas les mots
Excellent 👍

Buen trabajo feliz navidad desde México
Feliz navidad!👍
Great!
Sa oled vägev metallimees, olen jälginud mitmeid aastaid kuidas asjalikult kokku pandud videod on, kahjuks meil 60-tel oli saksa keel, sellegi poolest pilt näitab ju rohkem kui tuhat sõna..kas lõikasid saarepuud, tamm ja saar on kanged puud aga muster ilus, jaksu edasiseks! Piä`vasta!
Sestap üritangi videod nii üles ehitada, et keelebarjäär väga ei segaks. Tööprotsess on jah õnneks universaalne. Lõikasin saarepuud. Oli kõva kui kurat.😀
Достойная работа настоящего инженера. Один момент-сделай себе стульчик поудобнее а то как то не очень сидеть в гараже
Thanks
Да, как сделать ровные направляющие, это отличная идея, просто прекланяюсь перед мастером!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Are the boards pretty consistent in width and thickness or will they have to be planed? Great job!
Hi Donn, great build, every time I see you cutting with the anglegrinder I wonder how can he cut that straight even a CNC couldn't get it better!
Cutting with an angle grinder is so satisfying. The more you do it the better you get. I do alot of it.👍
Впечатляет результат! Ещё бы подачу автоматизировать и вообще класс!
It should be a band saw. That's how I would cut everything.
I built and used a bandsaw for awhile, full video here:
czcams.com/video/iCeTMkijoR8/video.html
But I still like the swingblade better due to less physical work involved with handling the material and faster cutting in general.👍
Great job. Any idea how many hours to build? Looks professional.
no planned obsolescence! ☕🙂🌞
Отличная работа и полезный станочек можно начинать небольшой бизнес
👍
Everything is beautiful, but I notice a small and quite important detail - the beam is not stiff enough and bends under the weight of the stroller. As a result, the center of the cut boards is bent relative to the edges. Element to be improved. Apart from that, it's a nice patent. Regards.
I quite enjoyed the start to finish video on this. I wouldn't mind seeing some more sawing in the future, the way this works is pretty slick. Big plans with the lumber?
More sawing will probably come since I intend to saw alot of lumber. For what project - I'll reveal in the future.👍
I think that mill's not only a keeper, l think it's a seller! Bandsaws are nice, but that looked perfect, nice job. You should be proud 🦚
Cheers! 🙏 I am. It took some time to build it but I'm super happy with it.👍
Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
👍🙏🙏
good
Anyone else automatically started squinting when sawdust started hitting the camera?
How did you know? ARE YOU IN MY WALLS
رائع...🙂
Какой марки у вас токарный станок?1К62?
Genial
making it to be able to do taper cuts also?
The English captions are excellent and add tremendously to your videos ... _but they flash off too quickly!_
Просто супер. Ок
Kreatif..
Siis võib-olla järgmiseks projektiks tuleb üks kombineeritud höövel ja freespink? Uskumatult kena töö. Häid jõule! 🎄
Neid vist lihtsam osta seal 250-300mm töölaiuse juures. Aga kui juba laiemaks läheb, siis vist hinna mõttes oleks jah mõistlik ise teha. Samas pöörlev mass suureneb ja sellega koos ka risk.😛
Very nice work! i would use 3phase electric motor and bigger blade. Everything else is fantastic!
It is 5,5kW 3 phase motor.
@@DonnDIY than my mistake. 😎
@@DonnDIY in some point i realized motor was struggling to spin a blade while under load.
@@DonnDIY Do you use direct 3phase or rotary phase converter?
Are you going into competition with Turbo Sawmills? If so, when does production start? An event to look forward to! (-:
Nope, I just needed a sawmill like Turbo Sawmill and made it myself since I don't have money for the real one.😀
Вподобайка.
Soovitan teil vaadata üle kanal nimega I did a thing, too härra teeb ka huvitavaid projekte aga proovib sisu naljakaks muuta ja see toob palju inimesi vaatama.
Mr. Chop 😂😂😂
Testereyi nereden nasıl temin ettiniz Türkiye de bulamıyorum yardımcı olurmusunuz
Tundub tammine olevat 🤩
Jaa, peaaegu. Aga tegelikult peaks olema tegemist saarepuuga.👍
Kenad nad ju mõlemad. @@DonnDIY
👏👏👏👍
