I don't know anything about saw milling but I am impressed with this. Minimal sawdust, maximum end product. Outstanding

Your doing more than just passing time. You sharing your knowledge and experience to others who don't have the money to buy everything new. Sometimes we have to make due, and seeing how you did it will help the rest of us in the future. Thanks.

I wish I could do something like that for just a day! But, I'm disabled and cannot stand for more than 15-20 minutes and that is pushing myself. You can look up the medical terms, but I know them by heart since I was an RN for over 2 decades. In my spine I have osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease and spinal stenosis. To cut down on the amount of narcotic pain relievers, I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted. I'm just telling you this so you can understand why I would love to see you work in person, with the wonderful smells of cut woods. That's why I love to watch these videos you guys make, to get my mind off of me and my pain. I try to work a little in my shop, but I sit more than I work. Great video from Estonia. May God bless you and your family.

Great job! A man who builds it...is better than the man who buys it.

Well said. But some things are more cost effective to buy though, I do not deny that. But things people are able to do themselves they should do these things. At least I think so.

Donny, you rock man. Sometime naysayers are right, and sometimes they aren't. As many here probably see it, you are killing 3 or 4 birds with one stone. 1. People say you idea is crazy, and you prove them wrong. 2. You like building stuff, and you did. 3. You are potentially able to be your own boss, setting your own hours, and making equal or more than average while being outside and not micromanaged. 4. Once you're known more, you can go around and mill people lumber on their own properties and not only get paid, but probably pick up some off-cuts that are valuable for your own shop or sell. 5. You can look anyone in the eye and prove to them that you're a self-made man.

Be extremely proud of your self ...you got talent.....Doing something yourself is rewarding....dont talk about people who put you down ..you're using neat YOU TUBE VIDEOS..FOR NOTHING.....WE JUST WANT TO SEE YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL MILL.....GOOD JOB..THANKS FOR SHARING

Not only did you save yourself money, but you just became a supplier if needed. Great job.

I completely agree with what you wrote at the end of the video. Some people would have to live in the countries in which we live and then they might understand why we do things instead of buying them.

Made in Poland, Sir I twisted wrenches for 25 years, worked wire line and have driven a truck ( 18 wheeler ). I have met many different people over the years, and can tell you my observation or opinion. A vast majority of the people (80% or more) don’t have the skill, knowledge, tools or common sense to make the things you or Donn make. BUT yet they insist on telling you and others how to do the job. Or what they would do different. Pay these people no attention, don’t take to heart what they say, just know that they probably don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to pitch it out of! Also they don’t have the sense to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions printed up side down on the heel!

Yeah, man. I sound like a pussy for saying that but it makes me sad (crying smiley face :D) when someone worships "store bought" items like these are for some reason something to strive for and in principle better than something that is homemade. But I try to understand, thus expect that my point of view is understood as well. But that's not always the case. And thus the half-rant in the end of the video. :D It's very cool you took the effort to comment on that. May you have many more awesome projects in the future, dude! Thanks for watching!

Making machinary is a good hobby and a lot of fun. A lot of the time it is a lot more durable and works better than the store manufactured rubbish that they try and unload on us these days. Most machinary I buy gets pulled to bits and modified to make it work better in some way or another.

I live in the United States. Less than 5 miles from one of the largest sawmill manufacturers in the world. I still would rather build my own. Agreed with everything you said. Thanks for the motivation and good work on the mill!

Smart boy. Continue doing what you love to do. When you get older, like myself, you'll be proud of your accomplishments. Tomorrow is a new day for another project. Start tomorrow and dont look back. 🇺🇸

Wise words. Thanks for the support!

My grandfather and his brother bought 35 acres back in 1940s to harvest the lumber for new barn. Plus a small sawmill. The barn is still with me and isn't going anyplace soon as it's still solid. My dad had a pole barn built in 1972 and it almost fell down due to rotting lumber. I saved it by installing new posts on one side. It's not a small barn. 90' x 36' x 16'' clear height. Oh was the lumber for those new posts expensive. I live near the center of USA. We have lots of good oak, walnut and hickory around here.

Love that you do what you want, regardless of what anybody else has to say. You go!!!!

Dude props to you. A self reliant talented fabricator. That mill is boss. Thanks for the inspiration and stay well. God blessed you.

I completely agree with everything in the video’s end as well. People who say it can’t be done give me motivation to make it work.

Your video was one that inspired me to build my own smaller band sawmill. It took mw a few tries but eventually I did it. I am no mechanic by any means. I am retired so have time do do this. I have already cut quite a few logs. It works quite well and I impressed myself for building it. it was just a project I wanted to do to prove to myself that it can be done. YES!

Another added bonus is that you can take pride in the fact that you built it yourself. I've been watching your videos for a few months now. I regret not using my time and money in my earlier years to build a shop and have the equipment to fabricate different things that I have thought of over the years.

I'm in MAINE/ USA and want to THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF SHOWING US HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THIS SAW MILL!! I WAS TRYING TO CONFIGURE ONE OUT OF AN OLD CAMPER FRAME UP!! IM THANKING YOU FOR SHOWING ME HOW TO FINISH IT OFF!!

Yep, excellent video. Super saw and good wood produced. I agree with your comments at the end. I've just "wasted time" building a super log splitter out of an old hay baler, and a powerful wood chunker/chomper out of a 7.5 tonne lorry axle. Now my firewood is done in a quarter of the time. You are an inspiration to a lot of people. Well done. Regards. Ian. (In Scotland)

You are one of the biggest inspirations I have found. I enjoy everything you wrote about, too. Nothing beats the satisfaction of building something cheaper and better than you can buy, and seeing your productivity go through the roof while your spending goes down. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you very much.

In the end of this video, you say tanks for the motivation. The truth is, I say Tanks to you. Because you is great motivation to me. I'm from Brazil and love landscapes, great views, property work, lumber, milling, work to my self. I moving me to a estate in the interior of the country and gonna build my own sawmill. God bless you!

Well I’m here in australia and i reckon your a craftsman. You are skilled at what you do and i really enjoy your channel. Keep up the inventing and manufacturing. Bravo from Victoria Australia

It's very amazing! I am Brazilian and graduated in engeneering. Unfortunately my health does not allow me so much. So I enjoy watch tubes like this one and know people like you and yours fantastics inventions. Congratulations Franklin - Brazil

Keep doing the work you’re doing..! I do a little DIY work myself because I enjoy it and save money too. This is why I enjoy watching your videos because you do a whole lot more than I can do now at 73 years.

Goog job, i like it, respect from Russia

Hell, I love in a small city where a lumber yard is much easier to get to but I’d much rather do this kind of thing myself. Everything you said at the end of the video is absolutely correct. People have become complacent about where raw materials come from and the reward of doing it yourself.

I love the band saw - mag wheels! Great mill and to see it working like that is very motivational. Thanks for sharing.

I have built two bandsaw sawmills and had a foley belsaw circular mill. Sold the first band I’ll and the belsaw when I moved from NY state to Texas. Still had the sawing bug so built another bandmill. I’m like you I enjoy building with metal and wood and get a lot of satisfaction doing it myself. Keep up the good work. Malcolm

Greetings from east coast Canada, Newfoundland. Excellent video and narrations.....it's a dream of a lot of DIY'rs to follow their dream, to find their limits, build their own equipment as we do; I am one of them. To do that to completion is a challenge at best and that's how we evolve and enjoy our own little life. It's fulfilling, keeps you looking for that "little bit better thing you could do to make it work all that much better" No life if no dream! Very fine workhorse you got there, pat on the back for that!! Watching you work it is a learning experience in itself. One thing that’s even more important than recognizing your hobbies is understanding your talents Cheers my friend!

Thx for sharing. Great work on home built saw

That's true. It's a lot of work but better in the end. Plus, those slab end cuts make perfect fire starters. We use to go to some friend's saw mill and get some. Pine, Oak and Hickory. Lastly but not leastly, I noticed, as in all your videos, you put a lot of thought, time and energy into your work and for you, I'm sure it's rewarding and I'm sure you will continue to do so. Take care and God bless!

Great job, go on with your work! Tanks for the video.

Seems like you built a solid mill ....the self satisfaction of building it and seeing it work is a great feeling....congrats! Keep up the good work!

Great video, and awesome machine ! This what you wrote at the end of the video is 100% the same what i hear from people when i'm trying to create something in my workshop. So your answers for these complains are important for me and I completly agree with them. It's nice to know that someone has same thoughs about this. Stay creative and enjoy your work!

Great lumber great mill and great video! I built my bandsaw mill about 4 years ago and I love having my own mill and I really enjoy milling my own lumber. I have also heard a few negative comments about building it from KZread trolls over the years, the funny thing is if you look at the trolls KZread page all of the troll people never have any videos that they have made, so I usually call them out and tell them, instead of being a jerk and being negative, they should put some time into learning how to build things and try to add some videos worthwhile to the KZread community rather then being a troll, they seem to never comment back. It seems to be the best way to shut them down. Any how keep up the good work! Ps I have a two part videos of how I built a power feed for my mill, I really recommend building one, it completely transformed my mill. Take care and hello from Washington state!

That’s awesome I’m the same way. I love fabricating my own tools n things I use around my property especially if it’s gonna save me money but bring me the satisfaction of working n peace n testing my abilities n pushing my boundaries of what I’m capable of. There is no greater satisfaction than knowing u don’t need to depend on anyone but yourself, like the saying goes “If you want something done right, do it yourself!” Awesome video bro look forward to seeing more.

I understand your motivation, I'm the same. Hello from America

Gorgeous machine. Be soooo careful with all that weight and those wires that could potential snap. Your machine is incredible.

I'm in USA and I have built many projects with steel I got free for the hauling: Motorcycle frame jig and components, Buffers, grinders, Metal workbenches, Etc. Steel and lumber should never go to the landfill!

Love the tires. That is a sweet running machine Iguana

Hai realizzato una macchina migliore di molte costruite industrialmente. Complimenti al tuo genio e alla tue capacità. Massimo rispetto. Bravissimo.

This mill works really well,better than many so called professional ones I have seen, no sign of the blade diving,and I imagine it will only be improved even more over time,perhaps with a powered carriage,and better log handling techniques,also consider using washing powder in the water feed when milling sticky sapwood.well done my friend!👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
