The crank and winch to advance the mill is elegant in its simplicity.

Interesting to see this footage! Before the bandsaw mill... and tons of work! You've come a long way!!

I really like the feed mechanism! Looks like it is holding up really well.

Fascinating! I was surprised someone had come up with nearly the exact same design as I had been working on. I was happy to see it. I will be making a larger version of this which an be broken down for storage. It will u se an 18" electric saw (I have neighbors) and it will be for milling logs about 10-20' in length. I will be making it out of steel, and use angle iron and v-wheels for the track.

Pure genius and perseverance equals a thing of beauty. Nice build.

Great job of improvising. You got some really great looking boards.

Fantastically simple yet brilliant solution. Definitely going to copy this design.

Your mill is awesome!! I thought that having an unsupported chain bar would've been a problem. Obviously not!! This is a great design! Thanks for sharing it!

Amazing and creative way to mill logs. I need to rethink some of the wood I have been using for firewood.

Fantastic idea! Thanks for posting this!

Wow, how cool. Makes me want to build one now. You went minimum and got max results. Brilliant.

The addition of the hand crank appears to be a great enhancement. I would never have thought a low end electric chainsaw would stand up to such continuous duty. You will soon need a room just for seasoning wood at the current rate of production...:) Thanks for sharing

Genius! Now you just someone to load the logs on the bench for you and maybe a fridge with cold beers at your side. Great video and concept :) new subbie :)

that's a great idea and beautifully done!! really awesome job!!!

Sweet setup!

Wow imagine what furniture you can build when the wood has dried. Once again a great video.

I like your saw idea man.

Brilliant.......great build. How did you attach the saw to the board?

I been milling with the Alaskan chainsaw mill & sears 2hp E-saw ,after ten logs my bar started to bend & was getting one side thicker then the other.....like your set up, should go for 8 to 10 feet would be sweet

Great job Szilard, works a treat. One piece of advise - get a bigger bucket....

great idea. I have a friend who sells firewood. He gets logs and cuts and splits them. Many times he gets tiger maple, ambrosia maple, spalted maple and cherry, but he doesn't even know it. If I had one of these, I could cut some of that fire wood to make nice wood items or sell it. Thanks.

I like the spacers you use, you don't have to measure at all. Also what is the longest you have done?

very smart idea with the jig set up. I don't know if you have striped the main gear in it but mine striped in riping a heart cetar but I think I was pushing too hard. great video

cool concept man :-) nice bookmatch boards . Good luck

uau!! what a nice proyect you have done!! Congrats from the other side of the world !! Just thinking, a) if done vertically, you may drastically reduce the swinging blade as shown when it starts cutting (but seems that the swinging is reduced at the end of the log) and b) if you give the bench a little inclination (3 to 5 degrees), the sawdust will fall with the vibration into some ducts you may attach to the bench. just loud thinking.... bravo!!!

Just beautiful

simply awsome

Excellent

Good video. I hope you'll reach the 10K subscribers soon.

I recently took some elm logs to a small local sawmill to be cut into boards. The sawyer used the commercial version of what you have so cleverly built. I was thinking of buying one until I checked the price. They cost around $5,000 but that includes a top of the range Stihl chainsaw. I would really like to make one similar to yours. Could you possibly supply a copy of your plan. Many thanks, Alan.

It's like watching "Matt Cremona" just in different scale. Nice one.

I love your Sawmill design it looks so simple but yet so complex at the same time I really love seeing all the different pieces of wood you cut you got some beautiful pieces there. Any plans on building a gas chainsaw Mill outside in the future? or are you happy with the the work that the electric chainsaw does? I think it does pretty good I'm actually very surprised at the speed it cuts but anyways very very good job!!! and thank you very much for sharing hope you have a great day! God bless!

well done I believe that necessity the mother of invention good idea and thanks for sharing

Nice Setup. What brand of saw is it and any issues with the Bar Oiler? Get a cheap Engine Cherry Picker or Patient Lift to lift those rounds with and save your back.

Good days work :) (Cleaning up the sawdust that is) Brilliantly innovative anyway!

That is what I need for my little shop

Cool setup. Are you using a ripping chain on your saw?

Awesome job mate, myself, I would prefer a small alaskan mill which also eliminates possible bar flex, anyhow I really enjoyed watching your ingenuity 👍👍

Please forgive me if this question has been answered before....What size saw is that and did you use a ripping chain?

I gather that painting the edges would prevent checking while the wood seasons?

Brilliant.

How long did your chainsaw last doing this

A really cool tool you made. But a lot of dirt in your shop. omg ;-) How dry were the tree trunk actually?

What brand of saw and where can i buy one?

Love the simplicity of design and ease of use. Do you use ripping chain on the saw or just a standard saw chain?

Nice work indeed. What is the power of your electric saw?

thanks for sharing..........that blade looks like it getting pinched towards the end, a wedge tucked behind the saw might help with that one ...thanks again phil

Is that a 220volt saw where can i buy one?

how many amps was your chainsaw?

Szilard Pinter Vid looks great :-) a wedge might make it eaiser while cutting

I have two doubts How long have the woods dried out? Why paint the tops of the woods?

Good set up 👍🏻 Wonder how long that titan chain saw will last 😬

If you plan to do this a lot, you should get or make a ripping chain. While it would cut slower, it gives a smoother cut. Our Feller said when he uses one for making table tops, it cuts down on the sanding he has to do. On those chains, instead of a 30 or 35° top plate angle (angle from perpendicular to the side of the bar, that you use when sharpening with your file), it's at a 10° angle (looking at a chain box for WoodlandPro chain, from Bailey's). Nice work, though if you wheel your setup outside you'd have a lot less mess and noise in your shop.

same chain or did you have to replace/sharpen it? Never mind, I just saw you sharpening it! Cool project

How many watt this chainsaw please tell me .I'm from India

great idea . how about some dimensional plans of the set up?

What kind of electrical saw and chain are you using?

Cannot see any difference than a regular chainsaw--- so why do you not appear to use a bar oil for the chain, and do you have a rip type chain?

I am wondering if use it for a full eight hour day, can you find a better sawdust removal method. Maybe a shop vac or other dust collection method near the output on the saw head. To me it seems it would be a lot of to wear both goggles and a mask to keep all that dust out of your face. But then if it's just for a few hours a week, it might be endurable. Good luck and thanks for the good ideas of the electric chain saw on a rail.

Are you making furniture or selling they slabs?

Dude! I need plans! I'll pay!

Szia Szilárd ! Tök jó a "géped" . Ügyes vagy! Lehetne ezt gyalulásra is használni? Én nemrég kezdtem szabadidőmben famegmunkálással foglalkozni időeltöltésnek és kíváncsi vagyok, hogy mit gondolsz róla? Nemrég vettem egy metabo gyalut, amit még nem használtam, vadi új. és arra gondoltam, hogy valami ilyesmi módszerrel gyalulnék, zárójelben, egyébként, így találtam a videódra rá, ahogyan angolul rákerestem, szóval a gyalumat eladnám és vennék egy új ilyen 40cm -es elektromos makita fűrészt mondjuk. az úgy 40 ezer és még szélesebb is, mint a metabo, az csak 33cm szélesen gyalul és maradna még egy csomó pénzem is. Igaz annak valami másfél mm csak a lánca, vagy ilyesmit írtak és az nem tudom, hogy elég erős -e ~~ Mit a véleményed? A másik kérdésem, hogy néha látom amcsi videokon is, hogy valaki ilyesmi maszkot használ, mint te. Ezek, mivel jobbak a sima párszázforintos festékboltban kapható pormaszkoknál, mert én olyat használok. Ennyire káros a fűrészpor? Illetve ha én is szeretnék ilyen maszkot venni, akkor hol rendelhetek és mire figyeljek oda a maszk kiválasztásakor? Üdv. Norbi

With a sharp blade that wood will cut like butter.

mennyi idő alatt vágtad át a rönköket?

Just think of all the different varieties of wood you can mill. Wood not often seen at lumber yards and of nonstandard lengths for stuff like furniture making and the use of light strong woods available oft time relegated to scrap, a terrible waste of useable wood . Well done !

How long do you have to let the wood slabs air dry before they can be used to build something?

Nagyon jó ötlet. A spárgával huzás egyszerű és nagyszerű. Az volna jo ha az asztalt amin a fa van lehetne emelni fel és le. Egy menetes ruddal megoldhato az is

It works fine! Though I saw you have to lift every log up the table. Perhaps it would be an idea to change it into a vertical saw? John Heisz made a nice one. Saves your back a bit...

instead of a handcrank maybe use a small motor so you can sit back and watch :P

This is a great idea, but you might consider a shop vac, a fiber barrel, and a dust deputy. It would cut your cleanup about 90%.
