OMG, I can’t believe all that snow is gone, wow! You are a beast...when you want it gone or fixed or made, that’s it, you get it done! Thanks for another great episode.
Neat saw mill set up you got there Ants👍 along with the shed it for it. A man can never have enough lumber in stock😀. Personally, i rather mill my own wood👍👏👏!!
Super great video ….. I’m not in the least bit interested in hours of lumber cutting or excavator fixing but your videos are fun and I would not miss a single one .
Wow this is my first time watching the Antsu Miizer ALT-10 sawmill in action! I love it. Great job on creating it. Yeah it's slow...but better than cutting it by hand with a crosscut saw. Glad it has warmed up....means you will be starting more projects! WOOHOO! Thank for making the video and sharing!
Very nice video man, amazing job. I like a lot of type of work. Now I am preparing some beams and pillars using some trees that I cut. But I am using chainsaw. Would be nice to have a sawmill. Good job!
Another channel is a guy in Florida and he and his wife have a sawmill and both him and her run it but they cut all different types of wood like sunken logs for decorative designs people buying and I imagine it’s expensive stuff, there’s one type of wood they cut and sale the saw dust in bags for insects repellent or cedar saw dust for people to put throughout their homes for the smell and the rid inside insects like moths and different bugs that get inside your home! I think it’s called Rustic Designs, his wife gets on and shows how to split firewood logs and their splitter is pretty cool but I know you’ve seen those because HarborFreight sales those splitters! Andris, thanks for sharing its a pretty cool and educational video brother and don’t you listen to the video critics and I love your language even the”Crap” words my friend! lol 😂 I love how you express your words for cussing and your choice of words! Praying for you and your family my friend Andris! Can you use fresh cut lumber my friend, I’m not familiar with the dry wood or fresh wet wood! Thanks for sharing my brother and any welding questions just ask my good friend Andris!👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸 Kirk from Louisiana USA 🇺🇸
Thanks kirk for the comment. I have watched some videos on rustic design. They have great videos but i aint that big of a fan on their choice of thumbnail "curved wife pictures" but i guess everyone has a right to do what they feel right? 🤔😅 as for drying i stacked them with sticks between every layer. Will wait. For some time before using them
The Gide roller are set to low buddy aspeshley the one that’s closest to the wheel , the angle at which the blade leaves is a bit much that’s what is cracking the blades most people set the ideler
Dear Ants Pants guy. 👍👌👏 Extremely well done! I really think that to clean the bark with a pressure washer does the trick. I just discovered this channel and this is the first video I watched. I'm very impressed. Your DIY Bandsaw mill is very well built. And you seem to be a great Estonian guy just like AFH Projects. 2) Please kindly allow me to suggest that you build a mobile steel structure to hold the logs. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Thanks bro, yes i wanna build one and like you suggested make it mobile. My plan is to one day build a firewood rig and use the same log bench on the firewood rig and sawmill. But most likely i won't do it this year, as i am packed with projects
@@Ants_Pants You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I totally appreciate both very much. Sincerely yours.
Dear AFH Projects guy 👍👌👏 Nice to meet you here. I just discovered this channel and this is the first video I watched. I'm very impressed. Another great Estonian guy. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
great video. For the engine muffler use not one but two nuts on a single stud, first you want to tighten the original nut and then while holding it with a wrench tighten the additional nut it's an old trick my dad thought me.
Great video. That is a great sawmill it made short work of milling those logs and got you a good supply of lumber, at a fraction of the cost of store bought garbage that is all banana shaped. You have some great money saving ideas and no one can ever say your not a hard worker. Cheers, Jeff.
You can also buy a product called a "fogger" that is sold by small engine manufacturers that will add oil to the upper cylinder for long-term storage. Snowmobile and outboard engines are common places where these are used.
I just saw this video and loved it. I have not seen all of your videos yet and do not know (yet) if you have since built a new no-name-log-deck-thing already, but hearing how you want to save space and not have it in your way when you are not using the sawmill, how about making the new deck from metal and 'folding' it in half? So for example if the deck is 6 meters from the sawmill rails to the danger posts, then cut the rails at 3 meters and connect them with hinges. You can then fold the deck over onto itself and either use it at 3 meters width for smaller quick saw jobs or fold it out to 6 meters when you have a bigger job with more logs. You can also mount the front end of the deck (close to the saw mill) on metal rollers that are fixed to the ground and you can then lift the end at the danger posts with the bobcat to push the whole deck like a drawer on a cabinet into the sawmill building, over the saw mill rails and get it completely out of the way.
When are you going to do some more yard work behind the house by the creek with those boulders my friend? Just asking Andris, I like that kind of stuff when you’re operating the excavator and skid steer and have you seen what Diesel Creek Matt is building? His new shop and it’s going to be nice for him, he’s always working on equipment in the dirt or mud so no more of that brother and check out his tracks on his Bobcat skid steer! Be safe my friend and great to see you my brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hi Ant, great video, but I wonder if you could double or triple the logs on the bed to lessen the number of cuts you make? OK, I know that would be much harder to push, and put more stress on the blade, but productivity would be greatly improved - maybe rig up a winch to move the mill along the bed, like Matt Cremona has? Looking forward to see what you have planned for all that lumber!
YOU DESERVE MORE SUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your creativity on film making and projects are unique and very enjoyable to watch. Still among AC and DC!!!!!!! Long vids rock, eh
@@Ants_Pants I am thinking of getting a LT15 with power feed, I'd like a Lt35 but it's twice the price. Woodmizer has reasonable financing so I may bite the bullet. I used to sell alot of lumber.
The ability to process your own lumber from logs is awesome. With the price of lumber these days, you saved $1000s of dollars from having to purchase it. Do you do anything with the scrap/saw dust? I’ve always wanted to use a wood pellet machine to make wood burning pellets for cook stoves.
Добрый день Антс, видео очень классное рад тебя видеть опять, я заметил что калесо накатором находится блейд оно не оценрованно играет может и за этого ломает блейд,удачи тебе и крепкого здоровья.
Great video Ants. I love your comments and observations 😂. I loved the different barks, especially the silvery one - silver birch? As always your filming and editing skills are impressive. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are great entertainment and provide a lot of information. Best wishes from Scotland 🌱🌱🌱
I find it interesting that you use both "metric " designations like mm, centimeters and kilometers when referring to the size of things, and then sometimes you use "standard/SAE/American" sizes on other occasions like inches, feet, and miles. Maybe I'm just a naïve American who doesn't know any better. Maybe this is normal in other parts of the world, like I said I'm a dumb American. I find it interesting and commend you for your vast knowledge of everything. Keep up the good hard work. Love your videos and sense of humor.
Thanks Dave, yeah it's very odd to me as well. We use mostly imperial on hoses like hydraulic and water pipes, also fittings for them, but everything else is in metric. IT's very confusing
most of Europe started out using imperial measurements centuries ago. I am from Germany originally and like Ants mentioned, plumbing and some other trades still use imperial which is the american version of old European measurements (Zoll in Germany which is an Inch for example). Europe switched to metric on most measurements eventually, but American engineering has been stubborn in fighting the switch for decades (other than the US Government) and will probably never switch to the much easier and more precise (in my opinion) metric system.
Loved the vid ants!! Your sawmill is much better than mine I can’t beleive u got over 40 logs on one blade!! I think it’s cause your mill spins so much faster than mine mine is very slow, what blades are u using? Great vid!!! Great production, whatcha gonna build with all that wood?
Thanks buddy for coming by! Means a lot to me ❤ i have no idea what blades they are. I got this shady blade dealer, i call him up and ask "yo hook me up with some blades bro" and hes like no prob bruh meet you in this shady backally location tomrrow" or sumthing. At this time i dont know what will become of these i do have couple of ideas but will see how things will pan out. I can always go and buy the smaller stuff. But getting the bigger boys like 6by6 es is expensive. Btw im so happy for your success. Massive boost in subscribers my friend, you deserve it by a long shot. Shoot couple of vids out about the skidsteer and you will rocket off into the moon. I hope your doing bettee healthwise Darrel. Be safe buddy
Just enjoy watching your vidoes, short or long, but do enjoy the long vidoes. Not that I can do anything you do as I just live in a arpartment. But I so enjoy watching you vidoes thank you 👋🇩🇰
@@Ants_Pants am getting a new kicthen, think my son’s will put it up but we shall see, they wont let me get near any dangerous things ( in their eyes ) 😉
Great vid. One idea on your muffler getting loose…the engine looks pretty loosely mounted and vibrates a lot. That may be contributing to loose muffler. Maybe fix the engine rigid to the sawmill and build an idler pulley belt tensioner for engaging the blade. But that’s all speculation.
I know you said you had gone through many logs with one blade in the past but dammmmmnnnnn that many logs is just insane on one blade. I wonder if it has anything to do with the type of trees and the size of them, either ways it's impressive. You've got to get the next video out so we can see what your gonna do with all that timber. Great video as always
Those engines are only imported by Polish companies, engines itself are made by little chinese hands ;) I'm planning to build this kind of mill for myself, but I have too much on my platter right now :)
Hi there saw your question on how to secure muffler on homemade wood mizer, I thought maybe you could try double nutting and using red lock tight. Good job on your engineering.
Look on the Utube channel, MartyT and see his homemade sawmill! It’s really cool and cuts finished boards in one cut after squaring the log, it’s really cool plus watch it because he can fix anything Andris! He lives in the mountains of Australia or a country over that way brother! Double nut the muffler brother and that should help! Try to put more coolant to your blade some way!
Very impressive blade sharpness (not so much fatigue life though!). I wonder if the short life is common to all small sawmills, or if the design of your machine breaks them more than normal. Obviously the fatigue failure from flexing is made worse by tight bend radius, maybe the small blade guide bearings pushing down on the blade make it break faster? Or it could just be cheap metal in the blade... But one blade failure in a week of cutting isn't too bad going, all things considered :)
Yeah maybe. Originally i thought its because of too fast blade speed, but that wasent it, might try to readjust the guides. The blades are around 15-20€ a pop so currently i aint complaining ☺
Interesting video; good to get all those logs processed - such a big job. The saw is holding out well. Any good use for all that sawdust? Maybe fuel or animal bedding?
Good stuff this video about other stuff, totally cool. Obviously with your passion for cutting stuff you should use this timber for building five more woodsheds. that'd be handy eh. What ever happened to all that white stuff you had at your place? cheers.
All of your editing choices are cool with me, sir! I’m a new subscriber and your videos inspire me, they help me think about future projects. And, I like seeing all the weather you go through, because I am living in drought central! By the way, what is that hobbit house by the new cottage?
Hello and thanks for your input ! Sorry to hear about your drought situation. The hobbit hole is a root cellar 👍 i am also planning to renovate that one aftee the cottage is finished. I did some review video of that root cellar last year.
Great video Andris the sawmills working well. I'm looking to upgrade mine but just havnt had the time work is crazy at the minute. Where did you get the blade guides? 👏👌👍
I would prefer spruce or pine but i dont have too many of said trees. Gotta use what i have 😅 ill make thick post material out of alder or birch and also live edge boards
Two poor village carpenters are walking along a city street... They see a beautiful new chainsaw on the balcony of the 2nd floor... One stays on the lookout, the other climbs up the balcony behind her... A policeman approaches the bottom one: - Why are you standing here, man? - Yes, here - (pointing to the second one) - we hang gifts for the New Year for city people... - So now it's still June yet! - Yes? Andris! Take off the chainsaw and get off, idiot! I told you that the New Year is in winter!.... :D
Ok I haven’t been a subscriber very long but I’m sold I enjoy this channel. Now I’m wanting to move to Estonia so we can hang out you got any extra land?
i bet it smells wonderful when ur cutting! just plz no snappy, clappy, smacky music like the first montage. Sounds like someone smackin gum. hate that. otherwise great video! thanks for sharing
Can that log cutting machine cut from the other end as well if it had a dubble edge blade...in that way you cut from both ends instead of pushing back the machine from the start just to do one cut only. Safes time (half the time it takes for one cut at a time) and labour and wear and tear
@@Ants_Pants My mill is powered by hydraulics, I can hear the dull band. I really like the power washing it must help. Who makes the bands you were using? Good content it keeps one engaged.
Really enjoy your humor. It's not easy to make me laugh but you seem to make it easy. Loved your Christmas tree build. I've never seen anyone go through so much trouble to put up a tree. I don't like people who just throw them away. They could at least take them to a lake and and give the fish a place to play. Also. You are the hardest working guy on the planet bringing a 150 year old house back to perfection. By the way, what's your name? Just curious. I think your Bobcat would move your snow easier. Thanks for all the great content, and I've never been on a zip line. Tried building one when I was 8. Thanks for the ride!!!
I suggest double nuts. First nut to tighten the item, second nut jammed against the first nut to prevent it from coming loose. Or nylon nuts that grab the bolts might work too.
Ants your multiple screwing sequences in high speed are done so completely without quitting, that it is inspirational. Makes me wish I had that kind of stick to it tiv. Many people do not understand how much toil you go through and what is involved in producing all this footage . Go man go!!!!. I am happy I found your channel
Exodus 15:2-3 King James Version 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. 3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
You may be over tightening the blade or over heating. Try some detergent in your cooling water 5cc or so in 20L. The pressure washer water left on the log is not enough to cool it well.
The price difference for a set up and a replacement part comes from a phrase we have, 'they saw you coming!'. next time Show them you know the game and buy a new setup and use the old piece to build some thing else they want you to buy!
You are industrious and fun to watch. Great sense of humor in any language!
It’s good you have lumber to cut….you know how expensive it is to buy them….you are sitting on a gold mine Andris…..you are blessed….hehehehe
Thanks
Put a locking tab washer on the nuts or bolts and after working them down bend the tabs over the hex ends.
👍

Thanks Buck. Me too 👍
Put thread locker aka loc tite on the threads of the muffler.
Interesting video
I haven't checked is there clue that can handle heat? The muffler will get quite hot
@@Ants_Pants some forms are for extreme high heat
Can't believe you got that many cuts from the one blade that broke! Good job!
It finnally cave out 😅
Get some high temp loctite and apply it to the muffler bolts before installing them

Something about lumber production. Thanks John
Thanks 👍

Those engines are only imported by Polish companies, engines itself are made by little chinese hands ;) I'm planning to build this kind of mill for myself, but I have too much on my platter right now :)
Good to know. Thanks for the info 👍
Wow! So much timber Andris…..you can build anything…..
Hehe
I always run out
Good job!
Thanks Mike
Hi there saw your question on how to secure muffler on homemade wood mizer, I thought maybe you could try double nutting and using red lock tight. Good job on your engineering.
Thanks 👨
Look on the Utube channel, MartyT and see his homemade sawmill! It’s really cool and cuts finished boards in one cut after squaring the log, it’s really cool plus watch it because he can fix anything Andris! He lives in the mountains of Australia or a country over that way brother! Double nut the muffler brother and that should help! Try to put more coolant to your blade some way!
I switched to a 10 degree blade and I didn’t loose any speed but the finished product was much nicer
Okey. That's good to know. Ill maybe try it out also
Very impressive blade sharpness (not so much fatigue life though!). I wonder if the short life is common to all small sawmills, or if the design of your machine breaks them more than normal. Obviously the fatigue failure from flexing is made worse by tight bend radius, maybe the small blade guide bearings pushing down on the blade make it break faster? Or it could just be cheap metal in the blade... But one blade failure in a week of cutting isn't too bad going, all things considered :)
Yeah maybe. Originally i thought its because of too fast blade speed, but that wasent it, might try to readjust the guides. The blades are around 15-20€ a pop so currently i aint complaining ☺
Interesting video; good to get all those logs processed - such a big job. The saw is holding out well. Any good use for all that sawdust? Maybe fuel or animal bedding?
i let the women use the sawdust for their garder projects
Very cool my brother
Thanks bro
.....and if you stuff some stuff into other stuff..then you have stuffed stuff!!
🤔😂😂😂
Good stuff this video about other stuff, totally cool. Obviously with your passion for cutting stuff you should use this timber for building five more woodsheds. that'd be handy eh. What ever happened to all that white stuff you had at your place? cheers.
It didnt pay rent i was forced to remove it from the property 😁
I finally figured out what Ants Pants is all about: This is a comedy channel. Quit funny.
🤔😂 it sort of happend
I think I just heard you say that you constructed that sawmill❓😳😳
Yes!
Hallo ein tolles Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
☺👍
That piece of plastic is called UHMW ultra high molecular weight plastic ijs
Ohh
Aitäh very nice video and nice job done !
☺👍
All of your editing choices are cool with me, sir! I’m a new subscriber and your videos inspire me, they help me think about future projects. And, I like seeing all the weather you go through, because I am living in drought central! By the way, what is that hobbit house by the new cottage?
Hello and thanks for your input ! Sorry to hear about your drought situation. The hobbit hole is a root cellar 👍 i am also planning to renovate that one aftee the cottage is finished. I did some review video of that root cellar last year.
@@Ants_Pants ima gonna watch it ! Ps: I love long form vids. And ps: do you even gold pan, bro?!? 😂🤣😄 You can start at that little creek.
Oof 😂 who even needs gold... Its just gold 😂😂😂
Nice looking lumber you get from the great sawmill. Do you harvest the timber from close by? Thanks for the good video.
Thanks. Yeah i do. 😁 No problem thanks for watching
lol cool idea. should of named the video. Employee of the month. lol
😂😂👍
Did you calculate how far you walked during this epic milling session?
To the moon and back. 17 times
Great video Andris the sawmills working well. I'm looking to upgrade mine but just havnt had the time work is crazy at the minute. Where did you get the blade guides? 👏👌👍
Behind some corner from the same shady dealer who supplied me with them shady blades 😂, if i recall they were about 35€ each
You may have tried this...Add some dish washing detergent to the water on your mill.
So far iv added winscreen washer fluid. The winter stuff that does not freeze
@@Ants_Pants I understand soap reduces friction somewhat and extends the blade life. Idk if this is fact or fiction....LOL
@@kcraig51 its true i think best fluid would be diesel fuel but considering the price of that 😆 would be able to afford a new sawmill after a season
ant put locktight on the bolts
What are you going to use those birch boards for? Over here the construction wood is 100% pine or spruce.
I would prefer spruce or pine but i dont have too many of said trees. Gotta use what i have 😅 ill make thick post material out of alder or birch and also live edge boards
With a title like that how could I refuse 🤷
Two poor village carpenters are walking along a city street...
They see a beautiful new chainsaw on the balcony of the 2nd floor...
One stays on the lookout, the other climbs up the balcony behind her...
A policeman approaches the bottom one:
- Why are you standing here, man?
- Yes, here - (pointing to the second one) - we hang gifts for the New Year for city people...
- So now it's still June yet!
- Yes? Andris! Take off the chainsaw and get off, idiot! I told you that the New Year is in winter!.... :D
Oh crap 😂
Äge video, äge teema.
Kiidan.
Tänud Vahur! Tervitused ja loodan, et läheb hästi!
Ok I haven’t been a subscriber very long but I’m sold I enjoy this channel. Now I’m wanting to move to Estonia so we can hang out you got any extra land?
🤔🤣 Nobody on earth has any extra land that they don't need lol
i bet it smells wonderful when ur cutting! just plz no snappy, clappy, smacky music like the first montage. Sounds like someone smackin gum. hate that. otherwise great video! thanks for sharing
Gotcha!
Maaaan, where do you get your energy from? One man logging company
Hahaha 😂
31:24 Do you own an injet printer....Same thing.
i see
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can that log cutting machine cut from the other end as well if it had a dubble edge blade...in that way you cut from both ends instead of pushing back the machine from the start just to do one cut only. Safes time (half the time it takes for one cut at a time) and labour and wear and tear
Nah it wont work like that it need a solid backwall to make sure the blade is not pushed off the wheels. Like the guide bearings have
@@Ants_Pants ah yes that makes good sense. Thank you for the feedback sir
Why do you spray the logs before you cut them? Just to clean them?
Yeah. Blade will last a lot longer
47 logs on one band, how many times did you sharpen it?
Zero 😂
@@Ants_Pants Yes, I saw that! its crazy a wall hanger for sure. How was the quality of the cut toward the end?
@@timberdoodles4647 it was harder to push and the bandsaw started waveing when going through knots in the wood
@@Ants_Pants My mill is powered by hydraulics, I can hear the dull band. I really like the power washing it must help. Who makes the bands you were using? Good content it keeps one engaged.
@@timberdoodles4647 idk man i buy my bands from a shady dude behind the corner 😂😂😂 they seem to last okey
Double star washers??
Maybe
Really enjoy your humor. It's not easy to make me laugh but you seem to make it easy. Loved your Christmas tree build. I've never seen anyone go through so much trouble to put up a tree. I don't like people who just throw them away. They could at least take them to a lake and and give the fish a place to play. Also. You are the hardest working guy on the planet bringing a 150 year old house back to perfection. By the way, what's your name? Just curious. I think your Bobcat would move your snow easier. Thanks for all the great content, and I've never been on a zip line. Tried building one when I was 8. Thanks for the ride!!!
I suggest double nuts. First nut to tighten the item, second nut jammed against the first nut to prevent it from coming loose. Or nylon nuts that grab the bolts might work too.
Ants your multiple screwing sequences in high speed are done so completely without quitting, that it is inspirational. Makes me wish I had that kind of stick to it tiv. Many people do not understand how much toil you go through and what is involved in producing all this footage . Go man go!!!!. I am happy I found your channel
what are you gonna build from that bud seems a bit much just for piling it hahahahaha
Gonna use some for cabin others idk yet 🤔😅
it's only boaring for you :)
Lol true
