    This is hands down the easiest and most cost effective DIY sawmill I have ever seen!

    Thanks very much. You actually took the time to show so much more info than any other video I've seen on this. I watched a lot of videos where they simply show the machine. I am pretty creative to a point but something this dangerous I wanted a closer look which you've provided. I will be doing this project starting this weekend and since the holidays are here and I actually have time off. Thanks again and wish your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    • @BlueMacGyver

      Merry Christmas to you too. Remember to add the guards and other safety features. I am glad to see so many people building the mill.

  • @TheDudeRulez09

    I am an AutoCAD technician and what people can do is save the Google Sketch Up model to AutoCAD. It will just be surfaces but it still can be useful.
    Thanks,

    Very Nice I would really love to have one on my property, I want to build rustic log furniture and this is exactly what I would need. just wanted to thank you for helping all of us out and let you know that I will be asking whole lot of questions when I start my build

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 13 lety

    @tulipgraphics Also, if your blade needs to be a different size they make most blades to custom lengths. I have resharpened mine 2 times so far. If you need any more help as you build your mill just ask and I will tell you whatever I can. Make sure you start with the wheels, shafts and pillow bearings first, then the rest of the machine.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 11 lety

    I am glad to hear that, you will have some real fun with that machine.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @simonsimon405 The big wheels are toed outward by two or three degrees, which makes the blade want to fall off the back side of the wheels. When this happens the bearing guides roll on the three sides of the blade that have no teeth holding it there. In other words bearings roll on the blade to keep it on.

  • @AlexCP2394
    @AlexCP2394 Před 11 lety

    I've read that the winch raising and lowering can be a little wobbly. Perhaps adding a clamping assembly to the saw head would stabilize this?

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 11 lety

    No, the other end is balanced even though it may look asymmetrical. Basically you could spin 1000 pounds on one side and 3 pounds on the other and it wouldn't matter because they run on separate axis's.

  • @davidhoover8877
    @davidhoover8877 Před 10 lety

    • @BlueMacGyver

      Thanks! If you ever need any help making one let me know.

  • @imaverick2000
    @imaverick2000 Před 8 lety

    I'm wondering if this can't be accomplished with unistrut for those folks that don't have welding capability. Use like 1 5/8 green, then you could use spring nuts and prefabbed angle brackets? What do you think? Would probably need to add the additional down stabilizers on front and back.. BTW, thanks for being such a great guy!!!

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @TheOrchid118 I have website attached to my channel that you can get one picture from with the main measurements, but for all the measurements I would look at my other video with the enlarged font, it show the measurements bigger. I will have to get a printable copy after Christmas.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    The mill wheels are "toed" outward by two or three degrees this keeps the blade rolling off the backside of the wheel, when it rides back the bearings on the guides keep it from riding all the way off.

  • @Progneto
    @Progneto Před 12 lety

    This is really awesome!

  • @rotory2002
    @rotory2002 Před 3 lety

    I'm building one right now and this helps ! I'm using 18-3/4 saw wheels and the only thing I have yet to find is the material for the bed :)

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 13 lety

    @777strongcoffee Yes sir. I hope everything is easily visible. It is completely to scale.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 11 lety

    No. the part that is touching the actual blade is made from cutting board plastic so it doesn't really wear on the metal.

  • @ehengle
    @ehengle Před 9 lety +1

    Nicely done sir!

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @meanmike777 Sure, but a gas motor is less torquey than an electric of half the hp. If you do try it you have to recalculate the rpms of the new motor and you will end up with different size pulley wheels, so that you end up around 5000 feet of blade per minute to the log.

  • @ostenburghorst3800
    @ostenburghorst3800 Před 11 lety

    Could you please tell in detail about the two pairs of little ball bearings that guide the saw band? (The white ones in the 3D diagram)? Really simple and straightforward design!

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @Progneto Thank you sir.

  • @MichaelHerr378
    @MichaelHerr378 Před 7 lety

    Awesome design! I'd like to build this but am pretty unfamiliar with sketchup. Is there a way to view each part individually? I'm trying to figure out how much material I'm going to need and if I have parts already. Thanks!!

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 13 lety

    @tulipgraphics Cook Saw Manufacturing will probably ship internationally and my blade is 10 feet 3inches. I use a 1inch blade, but you can also use the 1.25 inch blade. You should call them to order the blade, that is how I did it. I think my blade is their " super c " not really sure though. They have different types. Just ask for one blade the first time to make sure it works. You can resharpen them with a "dremel" tool, if you follow their instructions.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 11 lety +1

    There are 3 ball bearings on each side-Top, bottom and one on the back of the blade where there are no teeth. The one on the back keeps the blade from running off the back of the wheels and the blade doesn't go forward off the wheels because the wheels are not aligned exactly straight, instead they are pointing outward by 3 degrees . So the blade wants to go backward but the back bearing stops it and it can't go forward because the wheels are "toed out." check the "toed out" video i have.

    • @seanpaul5331
      @seanpaul5331 Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks so much. Incredible design. Exactly what I've been looking for. I have a 220v 5hp motor, 14 inch bandsaw wheels, some scrap metal, 90 feet of 2020 v-slot aluminum, and wood.

    • @BlueMacGyver

    does the other end need some balancing plywheel kind of thing?

  • @conogden5536
    @conogden5536 Před 11 lety

    You have a "damper" at the top of the blade going through an angle iron. Isn't this hard on the blade?
    Thanx Con

  • @simonsimon405

    Tengo un enlace a la página web para los planes en la descripción del vídeo. La descripción del video es bajo el vídeo. En esa página web se puede descargar los planos en 3 demensions, pero usted tendrá que descargar "Google SketchUp" para ejecutar el archivo. Espero que esta respuesta tiene sentido. :)

  • @carlospombosonderblohm2283

    thank you very much, the best DIY sawmill video and plans in the internet!!!...I have been looking foward to build one by myself to mill some special logs (agave cactus flower + o - 7 foot length ) they have like a banana shape, so I will need a base wide enough to cover all the curve profile....do you mind to chat a little to discuss this project?

  • @tulipgraphics
    @tulipgraphics Před 13 lety

    Hi Bluemac,
    Thank you so much for sharing. You did a great job making the sawmill and sharing with your videos plans and comments.
    I am going to build my sawmil, me and my buddys work with wood and are not that good with metal, so we will try first from wood if that won't work we will try to do it from metal. Can you help me with finding a good blade, at an nline store that will ship to Israel ? I see you used a 1", how long is it ?
    Thanks for your help

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @Greg77630 I don't have any gas plans but if you go that way you just need to figure out the RPMs and the horse power needs to go up because you loose torque on a two stroke engine. So say a 16hp. The feet per minute are 5000 so you just do the math backwards starting at the engine, to the first pulley, second and then the big band wheels. My design for the platform would have to beef up if it were off of my concrete floor in the gargage. Other than all that not much should change.

  • @meanmike777
    @meanmike777 Před 12 lety

    @BlueMacGyver again, thank you; can it be configured to a gas motor? I already have a 9hp that's just sittin.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    @kira9548 El motor está en marcha 3.450 revoluciones por minuto en una polea de 3 pulgadas y luego a una polea de 6 pulgadas en una rueda de los grandes. La hoja corre en torno a 4700 pies por minuto. La hoja es de una pulgada de ancho y las grandes ruedas de 12 3 / 8 pulgadas de diámetro.En Internet hay caluculators de poleas y correas, si usted necesita diferentes ruedas de tamaño. Usted quiere que su hoja de ejecutar a 5000 pies por minuto que es más rápido que el mío y va a funcionar mejor.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    When you roll that first 4000 pound log over the aluminum, it will probably damage it. I cast aluminum as a hobby so I know how soft that stuff is compared to steel. You could make due with it until you get steel or you could sell the aluminum to get some steel. The aluminum, in tube form is worth a lot more than steel. Either way tell me how it works out, sounds interesting.

  • @Greg77630
    @Greg77630 Před 12 lety

    Do you have plan on how to make this saw mill portable? I saw manmike777 wanted to add a gas engine. I have many trees on my property and it isn't practical to move them to my house (not on my property) as logs and I don't have electricity especially not 220 there yet.

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    I don't sell plans, if I do hand out the plans it would be free and I would do it on Google Sketchup's site for this kind of thing. The thing about it is that there wouldn't be much difference than watching the video with the enlarged font. Do you think it would help my viewers if I posted a set of 3d plans?

  • @BlueMacGyver
    @BlueMacGyver  Před 12 lety

    I'll send you an email address if you need me to look at some things, as far as the aluminum goes, the best thing to do is just explain over the phone to your local metal recycling business what it is you have. They will explain the rates for your specific metal, because the rates change daily. Also, it might pay more to sell them on Craigslist.

    • @BlueMacGyver
      @BlueMacGyver  Před 9 lety

      When you tap the button for download a submenu will pop out just bellow the red box, you must pick the only option in that little box. It will say: "Sketchup 8 Model" when you pick this it will start to download. If you haven't downloaded Google's Sketchup program then you need to do that to be able to view the model. If you are worried that Google's program isn't safe for your device or computer then just watch my video of measurements instead, if you go to my list of videos on my channel you will see this one : czcams.com/video/qJwmxIJe9Ds/video.html.

Here in the United States we have a store called "Tractor Supply Company inc." and "Harbour Freight" these stores probably have them also.
