  • I woke up this morning really excited to try my sawmill for the first time but very anxious to know if it was going to work. Myself and dot towed it up to the wood pile and made out first 5x5 post and a load of slabs for the top workshop. next week i will be milling timber all week for the greenhouse.
    Enjoy

    I'm not much of a 'handyman' type, but I find all your videos immensely engrossing and I also find your personal manner very calming and relaxing. I'm especially looking forward to seeing that handsome greenhouse finished, but there's always something interesting whatever it is. Thank you very much for all your effort in making your life accessible to us.

    You must go home at night, sit in front of the fire and laugh and laugh and laugh at your own brilliance. You are amazing. xx

    Most people: let's buy a bandsaw mill. Kris: I'll make a bandsaw mill.

    Maybe some brushes to run on the track before the rollers to clear saw dust so you don't run into any issues with saw dust getting packed on there?

    strangely I find myself more impressed that you built the saw mill than your own home, electrical supply and workshop, well done man

    I could have spent four grand , worked flat out for six months , not slept for a year and worried till I died and still wouldn’t have anything that resembled a saw mill , let alone anything that actually cut wood ...brilliant ..
