- This is my second build of this bandsaw mill... The first was underpowered and underbuilt, so I tore it down to the frame and started over...
This video is just the walk-around of the mill showing vital parts and functions... I tried to show everything I could think of to help someone come up with ideas for their mill... If I had plans for this, I could have built it in about a week assuming all my parts were standing by...
I used a Hobart 125 flux core wire welder, 2x2x3/16" square tube, and 2.5x2.5x3/16" square tube for the frame and carriage... The blade guides are from Cooks Saw MFG, sold as a compete assembly (recommend you buy the complete assembly)... The engine is a DuroMax 18hp (Honda clone) and is plenty of power for this size mill... My log bed rails are 2x2x1/8" angle iron flipped on it's end and my casters ride well on them... The log bunks are 4x4x1/4" steel tubing... The rails are 19 or 20ft, giving me about 17ft of cutting length... The good thing about this mill is I can build more rails as far as I want for larger wood...
I'm pretty happy with this mill and there isn't much I would change. It cuts straight lumber at a nice rate with a sharp blade... Hope you enjoy the video and that it helps you with your mill. Please ask any questions if you have any...
I’ve watched pretty much every video available and yours is the design I’m gonna copy. It’s the perfect combination of form and function without any unnecessary, over complicated features.
I really like the clean and simple design of this mill! Thank you for the walk-around!
I love woodworking from my soul I have spent countless hours going over and over videos of home made bandsaw mills for the past 5 years and this year I came across yours I have spent the last month getting all of the steel today I purchased the 18hp Duromax engine tomorrow I will purchace the cooks blade guides,the 18.75 steel sheaves, 10-1/4 &3" drive pulleys. What i"m trying to say is because of your video I believed I can build my own sawmill from watching your video so Thank you for putting this video out you have made my dream become reality.
What a great design!! Simple, robust and very functional. Thanks for sharing mate. Really appreciate it.
I've watched a lot of different videos trying to figure out how to make my own sawmill. Started in a somewhat different direction until I saw this video. Spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to incorporate your ideas without having to start over. Your design and your video to explain everything is better than anything else I've seen. Thank you for putting this out there, I'm alot more confident I'm going to get a good build by using your design, especially with how well you explained everything. You are da man, thanks
Josh, I have watched many many videos of folks showing and talking about their homemade mills! I have to say that this one is the best one ! Nice, normal, simple and good info and camera work! Good job kiddo! I know that your proud of your mill! I am proud for you! Looks real good!
I have probably looked at 50 CZcams videos of Home made saw mills, without a doubt yours is my favourite.
I never ever thought I could make something like this with my powerarc but having seen what you have created I feel I can.
Thank you very much Josh, I really like the 4 post mill, I will start building my mill next week.
