You have skills young man. Welder, millwright machine shop. wood worker, barn builder. Good job I enjoyed you work.
Thanks!
@@mcremona Not to mention excellent father, husband, and most important, podcaster.
For I/guy that appreciates ‘man toys/tools’, I am jealous. And of course the ability to use them, over and over for any reason conceivable. Enjoy watching your work/play
Jealous of all the red in this video. If you didn’t get a sponsorship, you deserve one. Thanks for another great video. Happy to see the mill!
Still the best band saw mill on RUclips, this thing looked absolutely huge in your old back yard but it's great to see you less constrained by space these days
Greetings, Matthew. I just ran into you at Menards. Again, my wife and I truly enjoy your videos. Your work and passion with wood is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Looking forward to many more of your videos. Can't wait to see how you finish off your new shop.
Thanks Dale!
That's the most heavy duty infeed and outfeed tables I've ever seen in a metal shop
Extremely adjustable, though!
19:48 I love how the maple leaf made a perfect rust pattern on the side of that tube stock. I'd clear-coat over that and save it :)
You make good use of the tools and equipment you have .... and man do you have some nice tools.
Thanks!
"This video sponsored by Milwaukee tools mag cutter" LOL Love your metal working videos as much as the wood stuff.
Every time I watch your videos, my brain goes something like this..."It's Matt's new video...BIGGER...LONGER...NOW WITH...MORE SAW! Now, if you only did race cars I could go SUNDAY...SUNDAY...SUNDAY...
Matt your metal working skills have defintely improved from when you made the original track. I will look forward to when you mill the maple log 🙂🙂
As a safety precaution when you use a grinder without a guard you should wear a face shield and maybe a welding jacket which covers your neck. When those grinding disk shatter they are like shrapnel and you don’t want to cut you neck which would be a very bad day… don’t want to miss out on future videos…. (I do take short cuts too safety-wise….)..
April Wilkinson improved her sawmill by fixing the anchor point for the carriage movement cable. You use a simple hook on the side of the bed. You did bolt on a stop. Replace the stop on that side with a stop and an anchor point that is in line with the winch and makes room for the carriage uprights. April found that this increased the usable bed by about 6". You have already had to shove the carriage when the winch does not work. Simple fix. One bracket bolted on.
Carpenter....Welder.....Architect....Builder.......Wauuuuu...congratulation....
I can't wait to see the 40ft extension snd the building of your dream wood shop.
That will be great 😃.
Timber framed shop?! Holy hell I can’t wait for that!!
You're a very skilled metalworker, Matthew. Cutting, drilling, welding tapping; the works!
Thanks!
Telehandler infeed table! Love it 😊😊😊
Super sturdy
Longer is better…….good job…..👍👍✌️✌️
Matt, I love your videos and how you bring out the beauty of wood. A word to the wise, never remove the guard on your angle grinder, that cut off wheel is spinning at 10k+ rpm. Kind regards, Al.
Excellent. The visuals near the beginning of your video really helped us visualize your plan.
as a dad of two teen boys the tonka trucks in the background, bring back fond memories. :)
You've got skills Keith Fenner. I mean Matthew.
New nostalgia at the old house
I love watching the sawmill at work, but watching you building it from scratch is still one of my favorite videos to watch. And building the trailer is 2nd. Keep up the good work. :)
Clever addition. The new location is increasing your production capabilities. Nice.
I like your Matt’s Info blurbs …
That worked out well. You still have the option to add more "cutting bed" at the other end in the future in the same way should you need to do more monster logs.
Five foot more is really useful. Thanks for sharing how you added it.
Matt is a pleasure to see you work! For you, there is nothing that cannot be done. Well done! I admire you for your versatility. Greetings from Italy.👍
Thank you!
Thank you!
It's interesting to rewatch this after I finally went through the build playlist, and see the number of changes/upgrades in the last 7+ years. The most notable to me is the magdrill (and annular drill bits), but there's also the shift to MIG welding instead of stick, and the addition of both the telehandler and track loader.
Something that Matt hasn't described in the videos is the head advance system, with the crank and cable. I think April went with the same system when she built her mill (from Matt's plans and with a bit of Matt help), but I also can't remember her covering that in any detail. Am somewhat interested in knowing how Matt engineered it, which is what I watch his videos for, after all.
Your animation was very well done.
Looking good Matt It's nice to see that you have increased the capacity of your saw mill. Just for piece of mind I think I would go ahead and do some kind of cross brace between the 2 extension rails even if it was just bolt on. But you know the saw better than me and if you don't think it needs it that's fine.
I agree! Better safe than sorry what with all the vibrational energy and possibly more leverage with the added length. Having some peace of mind with safety is well worth it?
I agree always better safe than sorry
If nothing else use 1/8" or 3?16" SS aircraft cable and make an X to reinforce the extensions.
Nice job, can always turn this one into a portable sawmill bed when you get the bigger one made.
Matt, I’m sure you’ve discussed this before, but could you explain a little bit about your portable welding setup? The brand, model, and please include info on the pony bottle you have for your shielding gas. As someone else also mentioned, you have so many talents, thanks so much for making videos and helping the rest of us learn from your experiences.
yes, can do that
What a whole new level you are going to have!! Thanks for the videos!!
Wow, your CAD overlays on the video are great!
Nicely done Matt, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the fist long log cuts.
Fun watching you work!
Always good to see what you are doing!!!
I was thinking it would take a long time to cut a groove for the weld seam... But then you bust out the dado cut off disc... Dude... Definitely making me think more. XD
I think like a woodworker
Yay! Matt gets to do some more tapping. What a time to be alive!
Nice job, Matt. I enjoy the construction and metal fabrication videos.
Nice upgrade Matt! Thanks for sharing with us!💖👍😎JP
You do as well at metal working as you do at woodworking. Multiple talents.
Thanks!
You have all the toys that most of have dreamed about all our lives, great watching you
I was thinking about all the metal shavings for 32 minutes and 11 seconds, and then my hopes and dreams were answered. :) Great video!
perfect expansion project
Can hardly wait to see it in action. Nice job. You always do great work.
Thanks!
Wow you are a handy man, great job.👍💕🙏
Matt, your metal fab skills are second to none.
Great work again Matt, thanks for sharing. Now I can't wait for the next extension to start cutting the beams.Lol. Looking forward to seeing you finishing up that great looking barn. Take care
I love how your forks double as outfeed supports!!
Matt all you need now is to build a cover on top of your Saw mill 👍.
Is that all I need? I thought the list would be longer 😂
Very impressive workmanship. Great video. Thank you.
Exciting to see you modifying your mill. From watching all your build videos I was "Influenced" to build my own mill. I was able to incorporate a few of your excellent design ideas into my build.
Sweet Build Mat! Never saw a magnetic drill set! Bloody awesome!
Boy you got bragging rights there guy 17.5 ! Like always liked the show me how it’s done the illustrations at the start helped me follow you!
Ever so glad to see you back at your base fabrication . Remodeling is a good distraction from the same old kind of life work you have been up to . As you are not done with the remodeling , I e the floor , and cabinets ; it is joy to see you back into your familiar pattern again as always thank you Happy Woodworking
Well thought out and well executed. Great job Matt.
Thanks!
Awsome skills and pretty nice tools to work with.
Looking great.
WOW. You got some tools, Dude. Great job!
Looking forward to the milling results and the finish line processes whatever that may be.
Great job Matt, looks great!..👍
You are a man of many talents great job Matt
Thanks!
Very nice Matt. I can't wait till you go to the 40 foot bed, wow. See ya soon Sir !
Looking very good
love the rusted maple leaf on the steel!
When you build the permanent machine bed, you should use the old bed for a large CNC machine, or at least a large slab leveler.
Woodworker now metal fabricator nice work Matt.
Another great video Matt .
I hope you recheck your saw bed for level again Mathew. Very good job on that little extension.
Nice steel work Matthew. A man of many talents.
Thanks!
So this is the reason its been an entire week! Thanks as always!
It looks like spring or summer in this video. To me.
Sept 21; dec 21; and Aug 22
Nice work matt
Great work. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos thank you.
Thanks!
Great video, I am looking forward to the Bridgeport reassembled and operational😊
Me too
This is one of three channels that I truly enjoy and anticipate the arrival of the next new video. I automatically give it a like even before watching, and is one of three that I have the bell rung for! Keep up the great work Matt. Your filming, videoing, editing skills are or another level my guy!
Thank you!
Matt, I really loved this episode.
That magnetic drill press thing looks like fun to use!
hUgz, Lee
Thanks!
ILL SAY ONETHING THIS MAN HAS SOME NICE TOOLS
leave box aligned where it is and shim the rail to match the existing. great work!
No flies on you , my Good Man !! lol Watching from BERMUDA 32N64W.
2:33, nice graphics! Well done shot and graphic over lay. Or whatever you pro’s call it.
Nice work.
Nice Job!
Sick as hell!
OK, this is timely, as I am planning on putting together an amalgam of your machine and April Wilkerson’s take on your machine. I will need to be able to cut as much as 40ft finished lengths, so your program of extension building for your machine’s bed is eagerly awaited. Thanks, take care, and keep up the good work.
Am I the only viewer that sees the obvious?
Add shims at the bolt locations for the extension rail to bring the tops in line with the existing rail.
As always, this is a great improvement to an awesome machine.
A well-invested expansion that'll bring good returns. The farmers would let her rust outside for that natural patina/distressed look.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Nice welding you're doing there.
Thanks!
Great job!
It's great to watch you grow. When you built the sawmill, you were stick-welding. Now you're MIG-welding. I predict you will have great fun trying to move the extended bed.
At some time, consider moving all the bandsaw components below the saw head. That will give you a throat almost the size of the drive wheel. When you go to 20', it may be better to build a new saw and sell the old one.
If you can get it, I would have put 1" threaded bar between the new end pieces with a bolt on each side(total of 4) and used that to adjust the distance between the 2 end pieces and the camber/cam fer!
Matt, as far as the little disparity in the angle iron of the old and new, after you align everything, you might weld the two together and extend the weld about 2" down the new then taper the weld with a flap wheel. The wheels on the carriage won't even know the difference. Oh and don't forget to put plates under the leveling bolts, vibration will dig a hole in the concrete block, You might also put a stringer across end of the extension, just for giggles. Your workmanship is outstanding, I wish I was 40 years younger and could do that type of work. 😄👍
Love the videos been watching since u started,reason i got my lx250
Never seen the angle grinder dado stack before 😝 Pretty effective.
Great video.
Matt, as the "cool kids" would say... you have mad skills! A great sawyer, builder and metalworker. I appreciate your channel and admire your skills.
Thanks!
You got more toys than I ever dreamed of. 🧐🤓
