The rest of this swingblade sawmill build series: kzread.info/head/PLkmF7FAZBzkWuunWOOh0zSzB1LllQdUKr My other videos: www.youtube.com/@DonnDIY/videos

As I have said before Donn, Please move over to America and come be my neighbor. Your a one man manufacturing plant and capable of a great many things.... You make your homeland quite proud of you.

You are creeping up on 1 Million Subs, Donn!! You deserve it. You can mount your KZread 1 Million Subs Prize on the wall of your shop!!

I can't even begin to imagine how many hours of planning goes into these projects, both before you start them and even in between videos. Thanks for sharing, as always stay safe

Let's hope I don't run into any trouble while fabricating the beam/truss and I get it done and get the sawmill together and working properly.🙏👍

@DonnDIY I am so curious how you will manage building the truss to the necessary precision. I have no doubt at all you will succeed, I just cannot see how yet. Gonna be a tough week waiting 😂

Наконец-то, жду с нетерпением когда он дерево распилит😊😊😊

I binged the last 5 videos, since I've been moving and missed them when you released them. I first started watching you with the wheel widening rig, and I'm continually impressed with your ability to follow through on your plan, making changes when necessary but not getting sidetracked and losing the plot on the build currently underway. I do wonder how many projects you have in mind, and how you can possibly keep them all straight, so that one doesn't bleed into another. You must've driven your mom mad doing stuff when you were a kid! My condolences to her for her sacrifices!

I do get sidetracked sometimes (as I did with the 8x8 Argo) but try and finish all the projects I've started. I usually start building things I actually need to use at the homestead so when the motivation fades over the course of the build process there's still the need for the machine that keeps the project going. So it's kind of a failsafe built into the project.😀 I haven't asked my mum, I hope I wasn't a huge PIA.🤞🤣

Great video! Thanks!

Coming together, make yourself some tapping blocks, just a block of steel with clearance holes for your taps, 4/5/6/8/10/12 > saves the wonky start when tapping.

1:20 put a little brass puck between the bolt and the plastic so it doesn't chew the plastic over time.

Great progress man! Can’t wait to see next week

When farm life gets fully automated, Donn/DIY will be there filing the patents! Awesome; when you started I was really worried you might have over reached; my bad; somewhere in your vast resume, you must have worked around one of these babies for sure! Big machinery companies like IH, John Deere and Case should fear you mightily, Donn! Those "no user servicable parts" labels are mere snap for you to remove and turn obsolete!

Can't wait to see the first log video of this build.

❤let’s see it working

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

Your saw mill is coming together nicely. Whenever I make a nut plate I drill the hole enough oversize to be able to use a flat head machine screw to center the nut on the hole for welding. That way I never have to worry about the final bolt/machine screw dragging on the hole. You don't seem to have issues with this but my method eliminates any chance of this occuring.

Quality video

Disassembly means time to move on to the next stage and we find out how long of a main beam will fit into the DonnDIY workshop. Plus speculation can begin on what colour of paint Donn will use. Classic DonnDIY Red/orange is my vote. 🙋🏻‍♂️

I think a winch with a worm gear instead of the ratchet would give finer depth control.

@jlucasound

7 ай бұрын

I was wondering how he would be able to have fine control with the ratchet. Great suggestion. I think you have the solution. How about use the winch to get it close and then have a worm driven fine adjustment? Maybe an expanding (worm driven screw) mounting plate under the winches? Just a thought. He then wouldn't have to rebuild the whole setup he worked so hard on. (Settle Down, people. 😅🤣😉).

Hey, Donn! I've been wondering for a couple of videos what machine makes the funky sound in the sped upp footage, e.g. around 5:00 compressor? Air filter? Fan?

The exhaust fan.

Was just thinking, you might want to have a form of a safety switch for each cutting plane that must be engaged (locked) in order to run the mill.

Hey, no unfortunately. I just sketched some basic dimensions on paper before I started fabricating. Everything else was done on the fly.

Hi, Donn. Is there possibility to rent your rock crusher? I know, from Latvia it will be long ride, but localy i tried to find one whole summer.. didnt go well. Smallest i could find was about 20 tonns.. much too much for my pile of bricks and gasbetons..I have a pile of rocks too, but i need them for another project... so no, wont be crushing rocks.

The pulley ratio is way too fast. Blade speed needs to be 1500 to 2000 rpm for a 6-tooth blade.

@DonnDIY

7 ай бұрын

I'm looking at the blade manufacturers website - 550 mm diameter blade optimal rpm 2400 (3500 max). Mine will be around 2800 rpm. So no worries. I can always play around with pulleys.👍

Ahoj, dnes se mi líbí tvoje video ještě více než jindy, když jsem viděl že jsi použil klínový řemen české výroby značky Rubena 😉👍

... Is is it just me.. or does this just seem to swing the blade.. "the wrong" way ??.. Like it travels down the length right.. And usually you want to be able to cut down the length.. in two direction.. This.. cuts... Down the length and then swings.. and cuts.. Across??? is my brain not braining here?!
