You and your dad are AWESOME. Not only did you make a great machine, you made a GREAT memory with your father. I'm smiling right along with you.

The smiles on your faces on the first cut was great. All those efforts and it works. What a great feeling. Best of luck.

You can tell its the first cut from the smiles on your faces! Nice job, well done....keep building.

I really admire seeing a father and son work together to build such a useful machine. Great job! That wood your neighbor gave you is beautiful. I hope you make something nice with it. God Bless.

bloody fantastic you and your dad did a great job. Thanks for the film

I LIKED YOUR SMILE,. so rewarding.This machine is just what I was looking for. I need to cut strawbales for my home. And i'm confinced this would do the job!

Whenever I go to quickly use my metal chop saw, grinders or drill press without my specs, I automatically say to myself - "One pair of eyes" and it makes me put them on. Great job building a mill. Hope you cover yourselves guys.

It must have taken no small amounts of enthusiasm & passion to conceive & execute this simple design. Most folks aren't aware of how much can go wrong on this path. There are a good number of fastidious details to address along the way. Projects like this one can remain a "work in progress" for a long time after the fact, as each observation calls to mind several potential solutions. In the end, a thoughtfully refined and efficient machine is fully realized, approaching a level of craftsmanship bordering on artisanry. I believe you are well on your way, and I am just blown away that you had the nerve to pull it off! Excellent on all levels!!

You guys are two studs! That is so cool and so well executed.

I've watched a lot of different videos of people building their own bandsaw. This is the best I've ever seen

everybody's an expert. You guys are amazing. Great job!

Great Stuff,it looks and works great. Your father and your self should be proud of yourselves

Ez nagyszerű ! Sikerült összehoznotok kevés pénzből egy nagyon hasznos masinát. Gratulálok mindkettőtöknek.

Annyira jó, hogy el se lehet mondani! Gratulálok a tervezésért és a ki vitelezésért is!

very impressive for homemade stuff. The cut look neat on the last pictures

Wow, incredible piece of engineering. It's worth all the hard work especially on the last piece, black walnut according to a comment. Just beautiful.

looks like it cuts really nice. good job!

Does the job just fine! Well done.

looks wonderful, well done !

This is definitely the way to go for an industrial setting, but it doubles the space needed. They can extend this design by adding a longer rail which can be easily levelled, but extending and levelling a rolling carriage for the log would be much harder.

Awesome video, and seems VERY effective at doing its job. If i ever have a space large enough to do something like this I'll definitely build my own instead of spending the thousands it would cost to buy one.

So awesome evening the youngin wants to try it! Great job.

congrats! what a nice father and son project! good building and looks like it works great. I agree that monster looks dangerous with no blade guards....

perfect cut, good job!

That was a hard work!!! Great job ! Now just play !

Fantastic! what a great ability, i wish i had one of those!

much better then the other one on youtube ...good job!

A pair of 'Bosses' ! Father and Son, that is where it's at.

Really nice job you and your father did on band saw. Your welding was real good too. It's not what it looks like as long it does the job and safely...................

wow, got an awesome dad!

Good job fella's, be careful!, very inventive!

Damn nice work!

eszméletlen ötlet :) rengeteg minden készíthető vele. Gratula az ötletért és a kivitelezésért!

Awesome project to do, I want one!

Very nice, great job!

Nice, good job guys!

Super gebaut! Gutes währt lange, auch der VEM Motor! Beim ausprobieren steht euch aber die Freude in das Gesicht geschrieben, schön.

I think for what you have, it is one fine little gizzmo sawmill!

fantastic machine!!! you must be very proud of a goos result!!....please make a guard for the blade so that noone gets hurt from the blade slipping off!!....congratulations from australia....!!!

looks good, well done

the shape of a tree in the slab. beautiful!

Well done! fantastic design! a tutorial video on something like this would be amazing, doubt youd be willing to make another one, but maybe a narrated video with whatever film and pictures you still have? Once again, great work!

Nice mill!!

Basic but effective! Well done.

Great work!

hacen falta muchos viejos asi. Son una maravilla. los felicito

Nice job men, reminds me of mine. Top notch.

brilliant track !!

GREAT JOB! POWER LIMITS THE CUTTING SPEED, WATER WILL COOL THE BLADE AND ADD LUBRICATION WITH DISH DETERGENT! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Very nice, simple yet dose a great job

People love bandsaws and seeing wood cut according to view count.

Nice job guys well done

Nice job!!!

No guard! You guys are brave!

Nice machine, I will make one sometime !

good job man i like it

Great Job!

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

good one!, dont worry about blade guard, just keep fingers and legs away, if blade comes off it stops turning . if u use a bimetal blade you can cut very hard wood Aussie style

Nice job on the unit , turn some low cost logs into some valuble lumber! I seen a list on how much they want for 12X12 timbers some cost up to $5 a foot for pine.

great job!

really first class well done

very nice, you need a guard tho, your band breaks its going to come around like a whip, plus some kind of sweeper to keep your track and wheels clean

wow nice effort hope you get another log soon tho :)

Wow ! very nice and good jobs brothers . i want try .

Excellent job, awesome. I love the electric motor and the fact you can cut anysize log. Can you tell me about it? How many horses etc. I own a gas powered sawmill I'm looking to convert. I also love the that you can cut very large log. I wish you were my neighbor so we could cut logs together and trade boards.

I just noticed the saw is cutting at the slack side of the band blade...should it be cutting at the tight side where the tension would prevent blade drift somewhat?

A thing of beautification!

awesome video

Simple and effective!!! Great !!

Super nice!

very good job!!!

Nice to see some ingenuity. I really feel the should be some kind of guard on as much of the blade band as possible, if the blade were to rupture or come of the rollers it could easily take off a limb. Just a word of caution. Stay safe!

Nice work how much length of your bandsaw blade bro

I like the chain drive heigth adjustment

good job man..

great job ! Thanks!

they definitely want to get a new one....

Excellent machine made by a real craftsman. Get some guards around it though; as that blade could do a lot of damage to someone if it snapped.

Money maker! Good job and thanks for the vid

Better result if the powered wheel was pulling the blade through as opposed to pushing the blade through. Just a suggestion but hey man this looks awesome! I want to make one of my own. Thanks for posting.

Congrats on the build and having it work as you want. Those larger pieces would make great table tops showing the shape of the actual tree> Take care. mrbluenun

WOW. nice job

Congratulations, a very good work. What brand is your metal lathe?

Looks a lot more efficient than a chainsaw mill. I wouldn't stand on edge to those pulleys without a guard on the ends and top. Watch out for nails and barbwire!

I think the title should be How I made a bandsaw mill with $10,000 worth of machine shop tools.

The blade is 35mm wide, without carbide, single steel, 2 tooth per inch.

+Michael Crawford A gear-reduction motor could drive it back and forth, but you couldn't feel the blade getting dull.

Ever thought of placing rails at a decline so the saw will move by gravity? So you do not have to stand so close. You would just need rubber stops at the end and a lower gripping set of wheels to keep it on the tracks.

Great saw. Seems to work well. as long as only you run it i guess you don't need a blade guard. Any children and pets running around?. Great work. CHEERS

Nice mill, safety should be important to your woodmill. Some safety guards for blades in case they wear and tear and might spring 360• degree and someone might get hurt.

I don't know that much about bandsaw mills, but all the ones I've looked at had some sort of blade lubrication system on them but I didn't seen one on yours. Is there some reason you decided not to install a lube system?

Nagyon szép munka! Csak így tovább !

Are those wooden end tables used for the wheels?

Nice work, but you need a 1.3 tpi blade, for a better feed, if you have 7.5 h.p. , congratulations.

Thinking the same about safety. Be careful guys. I want one

nice work

nice ! needs some protection for the operators.

buen trabajo buena idea...
