Looks good Ben...much better to see the saw mill when cleaned up. Another good one Ben.

Now you can see those paint cans under ur mill...... Ben you do a great job of keeping it neat and organized something I lack in some times.

Haven't seen one of those in years. Goes much faster with help aye. Great thing you did with your neighbor. World could use a lot more of that. Happy New Year.

Your doing a great job I like that mill it looks like great tool

Looks one Hell of a lot safer for yourself. Now you can step and not wonder what exactly is underfoot. Nice to hear you are less than mercenary when it comes to the casual woodworker. Some among us want every last cent they can get. Mike

What are you doing Ben...... Making money I guess, here were still picking around and waiting for you ta come back.....I enjoyed your videos.... You could be making a fortune in here sort ta....CHEERS

You do a great job of keeping the scrap wood in check. My eyes feasted on a few of those boards you have stored in the shed. In my mind I could see a table top made from one a bar countertop made from another. My mind sees something made from objects and some I can make and others I can't. I see the beauty of those knots on some of the pieces and how beautiful a side table top they would make. Sorry to go on like that, I just get excited when I see the potential of something. Hope you can get your saw fixed.

Good video Ben!!!!!!!!)))⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️👍🏼😊

great video enjoyed it

Tung oil or new motor oil works. As you say just for fun I try to use every inch of wood. At my age fire wood will out live me. ;-) just having fun watching you Ben.

To bad u dont live in the maryland area I would love to come and give u a hand just to learn how to operate a sawmill....But keep up the great work ben and can't wait to see your brother finish that beautiful piece of furniture...

Keep it up, Ben...

Hey Ben, suggest for safety, you put some paint marks on that saw blade to make it easier to see when spinning .... and build a cage around the blade if you can

When I was a kid, my father made me cut logs into 16'' lengths on one of those saws. Except it was powered by an old Bulldog one lunger antique gas engine. Had like 30'' flywheels and a 15' belt. Nothing slowed that thing down. Scared the shit out me, I was like 9. Cool to see.

ben, I would try to fabricate a shield of some kind around that blade. scary looking moving around it .

I do like that buzz saw.

Thank you for responding.

nice wood ben from slabs,i would use that and other people would too

Hey Ben, Te bigger slabs could be used to make live edge benches and tables if you have time or could be put on CL to use as such.

bundle it up. I just bought 60 bundles. The first log truck load came Friday afternoon. lots of fat meaty slabs. slabs were free, I had to pay the freight.

Ben, You may consider a 3" wide x 4" long piece of tire rubber to bolt on the mills framework directly in front of the rollers for keeping the sawdust from building on the tracks. Cut a little notch in the center so it straddles the rail and lets the rest slip down to the level of the bottom of the rollers. You'll still have to clean up, but the aggravation factor of the wheels being effected while milling will be lessened. Side note: the sidewalls are thick enough and there's no wire to have to cut through. Inner tubes are too soft. Great video...ain't it amazing how fast things get done with a little help from a buddy...or two.

that bark side peasesare what turners want for bowls and small platters.

I see you figured out later that your measurement of 16 inches needed to be on the other side of the blade......lol! Great job!

Rifle stocks man!!!

What's the blade diameter and pulley ratio?

What size moter/engine and pulley sizes

Were did you find a new saw blade?

I put some older telephone poles in the ground and then put my slab wood on the outside and made a shed for my wood storage

Ben soaringtractor is a troll never has anything good to say i have seen him on other channels just let him be he will leave. The way your buzz saw is set up is just fine sliping when it binds is not a bad thing. You are doing good at keeping things cleaned up. Stay safe and have fun.

I'm surprised Shemp got away with knocking Moe into the buzzsaw.

Hey Ben, you may have different thoughts than I do on seasoning wood but from my years of experience your not gonna need to let that stuff sit for a year to dry out before you sell it as seasoned wood, no thicker than it is will take at most 3-4 months before it’s good and dry, it’s not like you just cut the tree down that day either and it’s the outside slab so it’s already begun it’s drying process before you even cut the slab. I would burn any of that stuff in my stove today and not worry at all with it and I bet $100 it will burn fantastic. My concern is if you age it one year that you are gonna overdry it and then your gonna put it in the stove and “poof” it’s gone before you could even go get another arm load of wood. Slabs burn fast enough as it is, they don’t need extra help buddy. Would be interesting to put a moisture meter on them when cut and every month after to see how quick they dry. Take care Ben

My Grandpa had a Sears buzz saw , I’d always wanted one so a couple of months ago I bought one , I have to engineer some way to hook up a motor, I bought a used motor yesterday , it’s a 3 1/2 hp B & S , I’m wondering if that’s enough power , what size is motor on yours ? & could you do a close up video of how motor is connected to saw , Thankyou , I am a subscriber , have been for a good while .

I would love to see how you sharpen it. We have one that needs sharpening.

We've got a similar buzz saw like yours. Ours is a little smaller though. How do you sharpen such a large saw blade? I've always wondered how to sharpen a blade that big. Harbor freight sells a circular saw blade sharpener but it doesn't work with blades that big. Lol.

FYI - an acquaintance had some oak logs slabed for a project. The mill charged on average $5 per slab.

great idea but I was cringing when there were 3 of you around that unshielded blade. 😬😬

Hey Ben could you send me a couple pics of your saw dose it run with a Electric motor thanks

Good deal Ben! Yeah I think you are a wood junkie, but you will need to set aside some boards to grow your woodshed!

Nice Buzzsaw. Tell us about it. Blade,teeth,motor size,pulley,RPM.etc.

Nice set up! What size motor on the saw?

Where are you located? What state ?

Where did you get the buzz saw

fantastic set up, but something has to be closer to each other, and get a PICKAROON

I dont understand why would you mark your 16" on the table? Geuss i dont get that.

I’d like to find a saw like yours or build me one do you have any plans to build one or know where I could find one similar ?

I make slates for chain link fencing 6’x1/4”x1.24”

Gotta be careful giving bargains. Makes hard to get full price for your good stuff.

Shrink wrap those pallets

hehe tree shows, I know what a tree looks like

I buy a huge pile of the slab wood for 35.00 delivered.

If your cut offs fell into a bin, it could save one or more times handling. Wood is lots of work. Don’t waiste your youth moving it more times than necessary.

There nothing wrong with the off wood make anything out of it

handle the wood to much cut it into your bob cat bucket dump it in a wood shed

I'm dreaming you'll find a mahogany tree to cut down and build a guitar and some nice furniture. not garbage, it's remnants.

don't translate just show
