Thanks Darwin. I'm working on that log lifter the problem is the weather now is not very good for outdoor work.

​@@paulharbour296 You can use the same rope winch you already have to adjust the height. Maybe just add some climbing blocks?

Thanks David

Thank you for the nice words.

I'm glad you like it

Thanks!

Thank you for the support

Good luck with your project. Hope will turn out nice. Stay safe.

Hi there. I've made the log ramps recently. You can see the ramps here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/kHhklmyAcH2prYE.html Thank you for your comment

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks

You're welcome. Thanks for the support

You're welcome

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I will be constructing protection on the blade in a near future. I am still testing the machine at this point before enclosing everything. Greetings

Thanks.

Thanks for your comment Cihyy. Wish you all the best.

Hi Georg. Thanks for your comment. Can you tell me more about that spring you're suggesting. I am also looking for some rubber to put on the wheels. The mill is not 100 percent completed and is still in testing fase. I'm open to any suggestions for improvements and modifications. Thank you for the support and I am looking forward to hear more about the spring idea you're suggesting.

@@paulharbour296 Perhaps you coul use a part of a conveyor belt for the wheels. The heavy stuff might be too thick, but the ones used for supermarket cashiers might be ok. There are two systems for bandsaws: flat (=rubber) and the teeths run in front of the wheel oder rounded (cork) so the teeths can run over the wheel without being bend flat on the inner side. If the theeth get bend flat the sawblade wants to run to the side (in your case down i think). Cork and flat with the teath in front of the blade should also work.

@@paulharbour296 Great build, congrats. As for the belting, I use car inner tubes, slightly smaller than the wheels, cut a width from the largest diameter then you get an unbroken band that fits snug but not too tight, thus giving grip and protection to the inner teeth. Wheels are much better convex where the blade runs to make them self centering and allowing adjustment for blade drift (up or down) in the cut.

I'd imagine someone makes tires for those wheels. Don't forget to crown them. Great job!

Thanks for the support John.

Thank you

Hi Joel. Thanks for your comment I bought the wheels online, they are hand made casted alloy wheels. I was a little sceptic about them in the beginning but they seem to be doing the job. The wheel are the hardest part to find. Especially if you're looking for a specific size and you are on a budget. Be patient and search a lot online, eventually you'll find the ones you're looking for. Good luck and thanks for your support.

​@@paulharbour296 did you buy them used?

Hi Ernest. Thank you for your comment. Yes, I will be adding a blade guard in the future. Greetings

Thanks for the support. I will be building the blade guards soon, yes, as well as adding extra leg supports. How did the 7hp perform. Was it a struggle to cut compared to the 11hp?

@@paulharbour296 The 7 HP worked OK but when the log was wider and not dry it struggled, The 11 HP just blows right thru the wood.

@@poochie49 I've put 13hp on mine hoping it would cut through wider wood. I haven't tried it yet but soon I will try to cut some slabs from some massive wallnuts trunks I have. Just waiting for the weather to get better.

@@paulharbour296 Hi Paul! We’re you live?? It is US ? Thank for showing video! I think your sawmill is the best! I like you lifting upper and down in power! How big your wheel? Maybe I won’t to build like your

@@poochie49 .9.4

Hi there. Thank you for the support. About the blade guard. I will be building it later on, I am just still testing the mill and making sure I'm happy with the wheel alignment and tracking before I cover the blade. Thanks for watching

wydaje mi się ze to tylko złudzenie optyczne

Thanks Jason. Most parts I used came from the scrapyard. The wheels I found online on Facebook Marketplace. Only few things like the engine, clutch, winch I had to buy. Good Wheels are indeed a challenge to find.

@@paulharbour296 indeed. I priced out a wood mizer mill and it was 18,000 dollars! Going to see what I can make. Your whole assembly seems to move very nicely! I’m curious to see how you made that all work.

The wheels are casted alloy. Thanks

Hi there. Thank you for your comment. I am from Bulgaria.

Hi Matt. Thanks for your comment. I did accidentally put the blade the other way around and only later noticed that and put it the right way. I have not got much experience with woodmilling and that is the first sawmill I have ever built. The driving wheel on most sawmills I have seen is on that side and it works that way for me too. But it can be built on the other side too but the whole thing will need redesigning in that case. The size of the belt pulley depends on the speed of the engine, also the size of the blade wheels. There are online calculators that will help you decide what size is best for your build. The belt and pulley I have purchased online from a local machine parts supplier. I hope I helped you with my answers but if there is anything else you want to know please feel free to ask. Wish you luck with your sawmill built.

Thanks for your comment. I made the sawmill myself so you won't be able to find this exact one anywhere but there are sawmills you can buy online if you're unable to build one yourself. Greetings

It was around 50 dollars for the wheels. I just uploaded a video explaining all about the parts and price of the sawmill you can check it out here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pml3gGaOgKSqtYU.html

​@@paulharbour296 Thank you for your answer. It's a very good price if you only paid $50 for two pieces. Do you know the diameter of these wheels in inches? Were these wheels made (cast) specifically for this type of device?

@@mietekmietek1112 they're 23 inch wheels. They are not made specifically for my machine but these are the ones I found and adapted for my sawmill

​Ok

Hi there. Thank you for your comment. Tha machine is still not fully completed and there will be an enclosure around the blade as well as other things done on it. It is still in a testing fase. Greetings

Thank you for the support

Hi there. Thank you for your comment. The video is recorded in the countryside of Bulgaria. Greetings

Hi there Donald. What is the best way to reach you. I can send you my 3d plans of the sawmill if that's going to be of any help to you. Cheers

It is also good to find the wheels for the sawmill first so to be calculated what size engine, belt pulley etc. They are the most difficult to find. Also do you want to cut wide slabs or not. I did buy my wheels too big and would be running way berter with slightly smaller ones. Unfortunately for me it was very hard to find even those and I had to build the whole sawmill based on the size of this wheels. If you are from the US you can get your hands on a pretty good set of sawmill wheels from ebay. Have a look what is available to you.

@Paul Harbour definitely good info to have. Thank you

Yes Paulownia tree.

Hi Wilius. I am experimenting with this wood and tried to find out if is any good for construction. Thank you for your comment. Greetings

I am going to post a video with details about the sawmill soon so stay posted. What would you like to know about me. Thank you for your comment

It's 13hp petrol engine. Slices through with no problems

Yes, It does go a bit faster than I would like it too. I am still looking for a pulley wheel of the right size to mount on the axel that will slow it down and get me more precise movement.

Thanks
