Wow thank you that makes me feel pretty good. Nice comment. Happy holidays!

Absolutely wonderful.I was a chemical engineer before I was hit on my 1957 Harley and that changed my life. I decided to do what I love and that is to start a small engine repair business. On top of that I am building a couple prototype self propelled , tracked , hydraulically dumped wagons similar to a Georgia Buggy. It will come with all sorts of attachments. I gave my friend a very simple one with large pneumatic tires (knobby's). He has a concrete company and he said he has no idea how he ever did without one.The reason I mention that is because one of those might be great for you (maybe a large one ). I really could use one of those sawmills and would be awesome to trade one . I am buying land out in nowhere so I know the track wagon and the sawmill would help immensely. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Because they’re already in stock that size. The base is 24’ long which is the length of the tubing when purchased. I would be happy with measurements to help out.

But it is attached at both ends and the lower two pulleys are shaft and free spinning. The upper pulley is the driving force. The cable does need to be tight so that it has friction on the upper driving pulley to be able to function best. The cable runs under one pulley up to the drive pulley and back down under the other idle pulley at the base then back out to the other end of the mill this allows the upper pulley to work. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.

One thing not mentioned and I am sure you just overlooked it. Adjusting the small end of a log to get the pith level with both ends. I used a plate between the two frame rails and just set a screw jack from under the hood of the family pickup truck. A few turns up on the first sides to get it adjusted.... meaning when any flat side comes down on the deck... its now all ready for cutting and the jack is out of the way by simply adjusting back down and ready for the next log. If its within a inch or close, I just never worry about it. I also cut maybe a bit different as I turn a log, I only do quarter turns as I just don't enjoy hard labor turning a can't or a log thats looking like a snake with knots on it..... I enjoyed your video, so subscribed and will share it with other beginners that struggle as they overthink things making it harder on themselves. I guess the best thing I tell people is to respect a mill but don't fear it like its going to jump out and get you.

Is there away to straight a twist board?

@PaulWhitedWoodStoneIron

Жыл бұрын

Yes there is for sure depending how thick the board is and how much is needed to remove to get it straight. But it can be shimmed underneath to hold the twist In the neutral position so to say and then clamp it and trim away. We have done this many times to flatten a board.

I have an idea for a superior all around use bandsaw mill. It is like an alaskan mill but is all electric. The two hubs are ebike hub motors, about 12 inch diameter or so, and the supporting frame is lightweight, as hub motors are lightweight for what they are too. The motors are driven in paralell, and the driver is high current, not cheapo chinese shit electronics. The power is connected with either a battery or a high current dc supply. Solar or extension cord or whatever makes most sense. The main advantage is no noise, dust, smoke, vibrations, ANd the logs can be milled in place, as this is a much easier thing to handle, the logs dont need moving. The waste is just shavings and offcuts and that will be fine if left on location or whatever. 2 hub motors instead of one power wheel and one follower means you get twice as much avaliable torque, Less likelyhood to break a blade, and better tracking. The tensioner can be aired up tires, and alignment can be done with shims. This has all of the advantages and very little disavantages. If it works on 120v that would be prefered, if not, then i think 48vdc is the only other sensible operation voltage, like the motors accept stock. They deliver alot of power and torque, I think 3kw per motor is easily attainable. That means 6kw of low loss power transfer. Low vibrational loss, and smooth laser like cutting. I would make one that can do 10 inch depth 42 inch width. The starter board straight edge method works great. and its very easy after that first cut, which is also easy. Then the slabs can be put on sawhorses and cut diemsionally with a circular saw. It makes most sense to leeave them as slabs, stacked dried and somewhat cured, in sun with black tarp. Overall, I think it would beat all other sawmills. Have a nice aluminum frame, light, anodized, with a throttle handle and a big flat platton. The tool would be useful and durable and easy to repair. The wheels are very sturdy though, and the motors too, because bikes take lots of differnt loading. What do you think?? Yours is good concept, but is not as streamline as it may seem. I think it needs to be lightweight, so no moving logs, just fork the stack when its cured in place.

@@JoelAllen-xj4cg I like the design of the linn lumber mill heads. And to have 26” wheels is a big advantage on being able to run thicker blades. I think the design of the linn head unit would be able to handle a lot of tension that would be needed on the larger blades especially. One of the biggest things that I enjoy about the tension system on our mill is the spring back up which gives it the ability to keep a constant tension as the blade changes under heat or cooling off. Wider cuts is harder to get the saw dust out of the kerf which is a main reason for heat build up. Which when it heats up it grows in length which then looses tension which can cause up and down waving through the cut. Worse with some logs than other. Any other part of the build is not as important to me anyway. Every part of the mill can be very precise but the blade is the whole part actually doing the work at each little tooth.
