Cool build. Just a few ponters, you need an emergency stop button from the operators station, a guard on the back side, a way to prevent roll back, a bearing under the frame so that the trolly doesn't tip. Perhaps a cable feed system so that the operator isn't leaning into the cut.
With these skills in welding I think you would be able to put together an electric bandsaw as well. What made you choose to do it with a chainsaw? Maintenance should be easier with the bandsaw and you wouldn't loose the amount of wood in the process. The bandsaw blades should be cheaper and lasting longer, too? Just curious, it's a great built!
I found this looking for bandsaw mill ideas, and what has occurred to me is that the blade can't wander with the chainsaw bar. Bandsaw mills are notorious for the blade wandering because the blade guides are so far apart. Putting a LOT of tension on the blade helps, but has some problems too. That's just my guess though. I'm seriously considering the chainsaw bar now too. Not sure what I'll choose, but I'm glad to have seen this great build.
Класс. Осталось только лебёдку верёвочную добавить и опрокидывание исключить. Будет как промышленная. Ещё можно датчиков лазерных для безопасности поставить.
Great build mate , I would have gone with double bars on both side for height adjustment a a safety bar fixed about 500mm back from that brace blade brace bar so it don’t roll back and cut you legs off, and maybe something to stop the rollers jumping the rails???
you can make it self feeding really cheap. A couple of garage door springs ,cable and pulley ,and a power in - power out atv winch. I drew plans that uses the spring tension to pull saw through tree and winch pulls it back to go again. Cheaper then hydraulics. Simple design, plus I would use trailer tongue jacks to adjust saw. Top wind and chain and sprocket coupling to adjust both at same time .
Would love to see a build of that. There are surprisingly many commercials saw that also use manual push solutions(but with handlebars and a bit more safety).
This is super awesome man! thanks! but please be careful, I noticed that it started sliding back towards you when you went to unplug it. you were super vulnerable and if anything went wrong you would have been badly hurt! But again this is fantastic and a great idea!
Great work...but...At the end it almost cut your legs with back pull. I would make some solution so you do not need to be in the mill and can adjust the travel of saw from the side.
Hey mate, this is really good! I’ve being looking for tutorials on DIY chainsaw mills but this is a good option too! A lot of work went into that. Great job 👍
What I would do is mount an on off switch up where your hand is when you're pushing it. So you dont have to let go at the end and risk losing a leg. Just hold it with one hand and flip the switch off and then let go after chain completely stops
at minimum it needs a anti roll back system, as simple as a bicycle sprocket could work. also a big red stop button on the operator side could save a leg
Need a "dead-man" switch. Not sure of your amperage, but Rockler Woodworking make one. Even a household momentary switch (garbage disposal switches) would help. Put it right where you're apt to push the mill.
MUY BUENO IMPECABLE TE FELICITO. AHORA TENGO UNA DUDA LA CADENA NO CALIENTA AL NO TENER SISTEMA DE ACEITADO DE LA CADENA DE CORTE?UN ABRAZO DESDE. URUGUAY
Man I don’t care for you standing behind that with the bar and chain exposed to your legs, but it’s a great looking design so far. Maybe a an extension bar to push and some breaks, that roll back made my heart jump 😅
Sweet dude, thinking about doing something similar. I'll make mine with a v twin 16hp Honda and a 1.8m bar on it. Running a 38" Alaskan mill with a ms500i atm and love the saw. I'm mainly cutting, iron bark blue gum blackwood and red cedar.
Weld some 1" nuts on each corner of the frame and put 1" ready rod with a foot welded on and a 1" nut welded to the top enabling you to perfectly level your mill. This will prevent your carriage from rolling on its own.
OK this design is VERY DANGEROUS at the end of the video the saw almost backed up into his legs. Operator needs to stand to the side at all times to compensate. A remote pull cord could be used and avoid all injury. Competent building and welding.
You need a catch latch at the end otherwise a great way to lose your legs! 😂 And i noticed that you don't ever react to people who have some second thoughts about this design. That's a huge character flaw! 😎
NEEDS A SAFETY BARRIER AS WHEN YOU FINISHED THE CUT, the saw started moving back toward your legs. Also needs a safety cut out switch if it moves backwards!
Got my heart racing at 6:33, looked like it was going to be a shin bone mill.
Yeah that thing is a widow-maker
@@beantown_billy2405 Yep. At least put some type of a hand trigger on it so that when you let go the blade stops.
Yeah, I hope he adds some solution so he do not need to be inside of it.
Yeah. That was one of the most intense seconds I have seen on RUclips! Expected next episode to be about building a wooden peg leg.
This is the comment I came looking for.

Yes to every notion this person has presented... please do what they suggest, otherwise that rig will make you a statistic.
Honey, you deserve respect. You are an artist and creator.
Part Two , just as perfect as Part One. Nicely done !!
Great job... Indeed a mig welding, appears to be so much easier than my stick welder... I am impressed by and encouraged to do something similar
I have recently started welding myself and figured I'd start with Flux core. THought I was doing pretty well until I tried stick welding. Much harder!

You are abs brilliant Mitch . Cheers
Is a great video, simple but good quality, what about the motor? Do you have the hp, voltage and same other spec??
Part 1 says that, but it's a single-phase 5hp pump motor
Awesome build fella, well done 👍
Oiler? Love the simplicity! Great job.
I am SO impressed with this mill. Yes, I saw the safety issue but I won't beat you up on it. Attaching the bar and the sprocket was excellent....
How do you oil the chin 😮
super djobe well done do you have the measurement plan available?
When that chain saw rolled back I thought it was going to cut your leg when you weren't looking. It needs a safety guard on the operator side.
OMG, I flipped out when I saw that!
I like to football
Yep I screamed out 🤣😂😂
scary
Came to the comments section looking for this.
The pucker factor was real seeing that 😅👀
You absolutely need a winch system to move the blade or you'll suddenly be about a foot shorter. :o
Thanks Mitch, I'm starting my build after I get the motor! Incredible Job, God bless you!
that moment it starts to roll back at you ...
Just wondering what the go is with no nozzle on the welder??
Awesome job mate, good on you for sharing
I'm welding with gas-less wire so i take off the gas nozzle.
Mitch Tarrant never knew could do that and I’ve had a gasless mig for 20yrs 👍
@@Movinit I think it makes it a bit easier to weld with.
Отличная идея! 👍
Класс. Осталось только лебёдку верёвочную добавить и опрокидывание исключить. Будет как промышленная. Ещё можно датчиков лазерных для безопасности поставить.
good job, what is the motor power? and what is the saw size ?
3kw and the bar is 1m long
6:32 you just got lucky! BTW great sawmill 👍
Nice.
What keeps the mill from wanting to lift up off of the rails as it cuts through?
Pretty much its own weight and the bar in the wood. This really isnt much of an issue when chainsaw milling.
Do you have the plans for the mill available? Looks like it works well.
when the saw slides back to you i was really scared !!!

Are you using a flux core wire with the Mig welder?
Yep
Great build, but the way out rolled back towards your leg when you reached to switch it off I thought there was going to be a horrific accident!
its ok , he was wearing safety overalls...
Is that blue paint on your steel? Don't you have to have clean steel for welding?
Great build!
Como le ago para comprar una de esta maquína
I must have missed it.
What kind of motor is that?
What a nice chain saw Mill
Hey how much more quiet is this to run than a gas powered chainsaw?
Parabéns pelo trabalho, muito bom, qual a potência desse motor?
3hp
what about oil for the chain? l didn't saw to exist a system for that.
See the next video in the series
could it be made to cut throwing the chips away from the motor?
Yep, just reverse the log mounts.
Did you weld both nuts for the lift
yep
how much power is the engine?
Those castors alone are about $250. How much was the total material input?
Blade Safety guard might be nice when it starts rolling back at you. And a chain oiler
See the next videos in the series
Maravilha trabalho maravilhoso parabéns gratidão 🙏🇧🇷
I'm going to build one of these. The first sawmill that I've seen, that I think I can build.
3 hp
I was genuinely worried about your legs when you made that cut :) A good job on the mill but please build a guard mate.
Great work...but...At the end it almost cut your legs with back pull. I would make some solution so you do not need to be in the mill and can adjust the travel of saw from the side.
Te quedo genial pero no deberías lubricar la cadena para q no se sobrecaliente?
Hi what size is the chainsaw bar.?
1m
Hello Mitch, nice work! can you tell me the motor rpm pls?
I cant remember exactly but i think it was 2200 rpm
God Bless You Mitch! 🙏
hey mate do you have blue prints or videos of how to build the machine
Great idea, I think I will just use an old extension ladder for the wood rail
What power motor kWt ?
Your work is great I love it, where do I get that motor with blade?
Thanks mate, see the first video in the series
@@mtarrant3 I saw it & am so happy you opened my eyes.
how many rpm is the engine
sua solda e MIG ou MAG?
Hey mate, this is really good! I’ve being looking for tutorials on DIY chainsaw mills but this is a good option too! A lot of work went into that. Great job 👍
What's the hp and rpm of the motor
What I would do is mount an on off switch up where your hand is when you're pushing it. So you dont have to let go at the end and risk losing a leg. Just hold it with one hand and flip the switch off and then let go after chain completely stops
Опасная штука! Можно без ног остаться.
what lubricates your saw chain
See video 3
Now that is totally awesome 👌
Good job but I think you need to get an angle outside in case of losing your balance you don't fall on the blade
at minimum it needs a anti roll back system, as simple as a bicycle sprocket could work. also a big red stop button on the operator side could save a leg
Need a "dead-man" switch. Not sure of your amperage, but Rockler Woodworking make one. Even a household momentary switch (garbage disposal switches) would help. Put it right where you're apt to push the mill.
Шикарная идея! Не додумался бы взять вместо ленточной, шину от бензопилы и простой движок. Ленточную просто так не сделать, а тут проще некуда.
Good job 👏 👍
Can u make wooden legs with that?.... Your gonna need them.
This comment wins the internet today congratulations sir
that is awesome your very creative that's inspiring thank you
Good job bro...
Are you take bearing for up/down chainsaw...?
A bearing would be a good idea
Motor KWt?
Good job bro! Like!
How fast is the chain moving ?
Отличная пилорама!
Where abouts are you based out of In Australia? Cheers good videos

Man I don’t care for you standing behind that with the bar and chain exposed to your legs, but it’s a great looking design so far. Maybe a an extension bar to push and some breaks, that roll back made my heart jump 😅
The key is to just have it on flat ground.
Sweet dude, thinking about doing something similar. I'll make mine with a v twin 16hp Honda and a 1.8m bar on it. Running a 38" Alaskan mill with a ms500i atm and love the saw. I'm mainly cutting, iron bark blue gum blackwood and red cedar.
Wow!
Very nice job
ყოჩაღ შენ 👍🏼✊ დიდ წარმატებებს გისურვებთ ❤️🥰🙏🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Need to upgrade with safe measures...👍👍👍
I need to buy this mill to shipped to Africa fir the production of teak lumber .
Very best idea brother
Quase um acidente ...!maaasssss
Belo TRABALHO..
Я понял что смазки цепи не будет!? Правильно зачем заморачиваться! Лучше шину и цепь поменять, причем уже завтра...
я думаю, е не долго довести до ума. Но без нее шинка уже через несколько часов придет в негодность.
you are the man
Very interesting. tHanks for the video
you should put a band of metal strip behind the chain so your leg cant touch the chain.just an opinion.
cade a proteção pra nao torar a perna enquanto empurra o equipamento?
Haha, thats right
Um amigo aqui no estado do mato grosso do Sul / Brasil pediu pra que eu mandasse o vídeo, ele vai copiar o seu projeto, parabéns.
A brave man welding next to the washing. Bit dodgy when it rolled back before you unplugged it.
Yes to both
I'm impressed by the mill, but I would trip on the bottom rungs and fall into the saw. I'd have to put a guard on the back.
Weld some 1" nuts on each corner of the frame and put 1" ready rod with a foot welded on and a 1" nut welded to the top enabling you to perfectly level your mill. This will prevent your carriage from rolling on its own.
I want mine free standing so I can move it? Cut from the top.
your fab skills are impressive
OMG. This welding specialist really shocks... Where is the oil for the chain???
Cool video, thanks :)
OK this design is VERY DANGEROUS at the end of the video the saw almost backed up into his legs. Operator needs to stand to the side at all times to compensate. A remote pull cord could be used and avoid all injury. Competent building and welding.
Do Brasil , esplêndido !!!
You need a catch latch at the end otherwise a great way to lose your legs! 😂 And i noticed that you don't ever react to people who have some second thoughts about this design. That's a huge character flaw! 😎
NEEDS A SAFETY BARRIER AS WHEN YOU FINISHED THE CUT, the saw started moving back toward your legs. Also needs a safety cut out switch if it moves backwards!
