It’s coming along pretty well 👌🏻 I’m pleased with the power feed. Its turned out pretty slick. The guides and blade alignment will be a pretty tedious part I believe, so it will slow down for me now. But it’s getting closer everyday! Appreciate you Bobby.
Thanks Del. I’ve built it in my head a lot over the last few years and chicken scratched around sketches and measurements 😂 I’ve also took little bits of different mills I’ve seen on CZcams and incorporated what I like into mine. Exciting to see it come together Take Care! 🪵🪚🇺🇸
Thank you so much! It’s been something I’ve been wanting to build for 5-6 years now and it’s finally happening. Looking forward to milling some lumber with it in the very near future! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Todd! It’s been a fun project and something I’m really enjoying building. It’s also a good way to spend evenings in a warm shop since the days are short 👌🏻
I appreciate it! It’s been a goal of mine the last 5-6 years to build one. Finally dove in and done it. I work on it when I can after dark in the shop with the wood stove rolling! I appreciate you watching 👌🏻
I bought the clutch off of Woodland Mills website. It’s the biggest one they have. It says 14HP but I’m going to give it a try. The feed motor is an electric wheelchair drive motor that I bought off of eBay.
Some serious progress on the mill. I really like the power feed system. Thanks for taking us along.

This is a really cool project, can’t wait to see the finished product.
I appreciate it. It’s been a fun project and something I’ve wanted to do for several years now. Looking forward to cutting some wood 👍🏻
Outstanding job on this project! Can’t wait to see it in action Brandon👍🏻👍🏻

Lookin good! Plenty to do!!
Thanks John. It’s coming along, and you’re right, there’s still a lot left to do before making sawdust. I appreciate you watching 👍🏻
Thats pretty slick! Not enough time in the day I’d love to get into something like this maybe someday 👍

Nice job, this is an awesome project!
Thanks Tony, I’m really enjoying the build. It’s been a learn as you go kind of project, but it’s coming together 👌🏻
I used a 3/4'' bolt to tension the blade. Bowed and snapped the 1 1/4'' dia. drive shaft.
I’ve ended up switching to a 1” threaded rod to apply tension to the band. I think it’s going to work good 👍🏻
Where did you get the clutch and what is the motor for feeding
