Sawmill Mods - Gearing & Test Sawmilling - My Homemade Swingblade

17 днів тому

Modifying the gearing on my homemade swingblade sawmill according to the recommendation of the blade manufacturer - replacing a bigger V-belt pulley on the motor with a smaller OD one to reduce blade speed and get more cutting power as well. I have a half-a-dozen mods/improvements I want to still implement on this sawmill to make it fully suit my needs but I also have a silly little minibike to finish and other things to do as well. See you soon! :)

You are measuring the pulleys wrong, it is the inside diameter that matters. You are getting wrong ratios.

Thanks for an update on your swing blade sawmill Donn 👍 looks like it works really well. Definitely a different process then bandsaw milling.

I think it's pretty cool that not only are your projects well designed and built, you actually use them, and not just let them sit around after a video is done! Nice use of your time and energy!!

Remote control winch for the win. That Forstman extending crane really is the business.

I really like this channel, one of the few creators of this type of content that doesn't talk us to death while he's doing the job

You are like a chef who criticises the food he makes even though the diners are in exctacy as they eat it... I think you should be very proud of the machines you have designed & made. I see real talent in you & your projects. Like the chef, you see the weakness in the product, then make changes to improve it.

That's going to produce some beautiful quarter-sawn lumber.

My suggestion Don y not build some Bucks adjustable and Spikes on the bottom that will stick in the ground for stability instead of bricks and something to stabilize the log your cutting like at a saw mill just so the log doesn’t move at all thanks for the great content always enjoy watching you and the way you explain things have a great day I’m Retired from John Deere 72 years old
