In this video, I'm going to show you a collection of videos that show you how to build a homemade sawmill.
This sawmill is an easy and inexpensive way to start woodworking, and it is a great way to learn how to build a simple logging machine. I'll be sharing this project with you step-by-step, so that you can build your own sawmill and start logging wood yourself!
I have put together a small collection of video's of mine from start to finish..One video will also give you some of the dimensions and measurements of my build.

Thank you for sharing your great idea.
Glad I could help. Will be making a video with all the measurements very soon
Thank you for sharing, this video is so helpfull for me. Thanks to you from Mexico!
Glad I could help. Thanks
Great step by step explanations on this build. Easy to understand. I enjoy watching these videos of sawmill builds. Yours is the best so for on sharing dimensions. Thanks so much for sharing. Be safe with this machine. Gene from Iowa
I am always open for any questions.. It is a lot of fun building something that will do a good job
Nice job Larry. Thank you for sharing info
I have watched many videos on home made sawmills but yours look good and sharing dimensions on your project made me get unexplainable satisfaction thank you looking forward to build my own
Thank you, glad we could help.new video coming out soon on my new build
That tracking adjustment looks pretty clever to me. It's been one of the things I've tried to work out in my head how I wanted to do it when (if) I make one. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it is. Pretty simple and I like it. I am building a new mill right now and I am using the same system on it as well..Appreciate the comment

To put it simply, you did a great job building a great functioning machine with just your knowledge. Well, using your hands too. Well done & keep up the excellent work. Take care Mr. Sbrusch.
Thank You for the comment
I am getting ready to build my saw mill thanks for giving your take on building your saw mill helpfull Robert
Glad we could help..I have had a lot of fun with mine and made some good pocket change milling on the side..didn't take me long to start seeing profits with the lower cost of the build compared to spending 20 grand
nice and simple buid every parts 👍👌👌👌👌👌
muy bueno. saludos desde venezuela
With its original unique design, your mill looks nice and seems to run fine. Here are two possible improvements you could consider. First, blade cover, or maybe I should rather name it blade guard, would be a most for added security. It is easily made from sheet metal or plywood and it is not worth the risk of sawing any further without one. Second, you could consider large roller blade guides. Timberking uses 2-inch and even 3 inch diameter roller guides on its larger sawmills. This slows down the RPM of the guides, thus reducing wear and risk of overheating bearings, and so extending their life.
Do you have any measurements
nice sawmill a lot of satisfaction using something that you make yourself.. built one my self works good have videos up on youtube
It is a great feeling when you cut through a log anticipating what the piece will look like. I love woodworking. Appreciate your comment
Hi Larry
Excellent sawmill.
I would like to build one myself.
Please can you provide a link for the dimensions.
Thanks
Definitely got a good start !
I’m no pro sawmill builder, but that turned out pretty well
Still working on it. Have a few things to finish up.? Appreciate the comment
Work well !! To be on the safe side I think I would add two tubes coming from each upright down to where the weights are then a crosspiece at a comfortable height to act as your push bar. This will help with a little weight transfer and move the user away from the saw blade, I'm on my twenty sixth mill and got a lot of help from other builders . Good luck !!
Yes sir. I agree with you and right after I posted this video. I added a push bar...

Hi Larry, Frank here from Australia, the threaded shafts you just for the op and down movement is called (all thread ) here in Australia in metric or BSW. Shouldn't the cutting blade tension be released after shutting down for the day? Love your work Frank
аплодирую простоте конструкции и золотым рукам мастера. I applaud the simplicity of the design. golden hand
Thank You. Appreciate the comment..
I like the way you mounted the crank beneath instead of above the top bar. If it doesn't interfere with anything as the saw rises and you're able to leave it that way, the crank should be within easy reach.
I built a second mill and it is the same but I mounted a boat winch on it..It is a little faster, but the accuracy is a little off. because of the cables..But all is well, it still works great for rough sawmill lumber
Молодец !!!
Larry change the bottom tubing holding your casters to a 2x3 and mount your casters inside this way they will be shield from the sawdust coming off the blade. this is what I did works good the track stays cleaner.
Good ideal. When I get the time. I will change them. Thanks
Saya sepat dg siaran ini mutifasi sy dn inpirasi masa depan ...
Awesome. Can't wait until it's finished
Looks like its working fairly well. I'm surprised you don't have your roller guide adjustable to come closer to the wood to keep your cut from drifting. Looks great and nice work building this awesome project!
One side is adjustable. It slides back and forth,,,

Thank you sir I have been thinking of making my own and this seems like the most bang for the buck in terms of time and money to get a good cutting mill. If you all still have those parts on your website I'll be taking a look later on. Any tips or helpful ideas I'm all ears. Take care and thanks
Yes I still sell some of them parts on my website at txdashcovers.com..under industrial section..if you ever have any questions, give me a call on the number on website..will be glad to help you
Looks Great Fella' I will be building one over the winter, I have Okum Sleepers I need cut so that is my new project, Great Video. Tom Scotland.
Appreciate the comment.let me know if I have any questions...thank you
Larry I just watched your video of the mill in action, please make a blade shroud for safety . If that blade breaks your are is right there, I don't want to see a fellow sawyer get hurt.
Yes sir, I understand..please look at our other video's..it was done a long time ago..we made a lot of changes since this video and will be uploading a new video of my cousins sawmill cutting spalting pecan slabs
Muito bom

Thanks for all your information!!!
Will be putting out more once I get back on my build. Appreciate the comment
Eyes are the highest precision instruments in the shop, literally irreplaceable. A dust mask, sawdust is exceptionally toxic. I really enjoyed the videos and the simplicity of your build. Thank you very much for sharing Sir.
I agree with you and most of the time I wear them...I need to practice it more often.. Appreciate your comment...
A great bunch of videos. The details are super helpful. tHanks.
I cut mostly framing and trim boards with my mill.
Good comment. Thank you
@@LarrySbrusch What are you building next? The shop looks busy...and clean. Clean is a sign that something is about to happen. Something interesting!
Hey Larry looks great 👍
Appreciate you sharing your ingenuity 😁
I will be putting up a new video soon of my 158" sawmill..just got to finish up the blade guide rollers.appreciate the comment
thank you very much for sharing.
No problem.
Hi Pretty good advice, but from looking at the cut on the log you have on the rig I presume you have a bit of blade vibration, ill take that back after seeing the cut at the end of the video. good job
The blade was a little on the dull side..But I made it work.Thanks for the comment
Nice project. Great video. I would HIGHLY recommend to enclose those blades with simple hoods. There is a good reason this type of sawmill is not popular. Those blades break and fly around like deadly snakes. It will take your head off in a half second. Work on safety man and thanks for sharing
Please check out my other video's. I have made a lot of changes since this video...Lots of upgrades
thats a nice width capacity on that mill.
Yes we it is
Ficou show , parece que a fita está ou pouco bamba , precisa de estar mais um pouco!
A lot of changes have been made since this video was shot. Check them out
❤️❤️❤️ interessante
nice setup only thing i see you need is a water drip setup to keep the blade from over heating and breaking on you other then that it is a good setup up
I put one on it right after I made the video..Thanks
Abraços do Brasil,vou fazer meu projeto igual a esse obrigado
Appreciate the comment.thank you
ดีมากเลยได้ความรู้ครับ🙏🙏👍👍👏👏
ขอขนาดมอเลและใบเลือยขอบคุณครับ

Appreciate the comment. Thank You
very good video where I can see the plans to do it, thanks from Argentina
I don't really have any plans. just the information in video
A mi también me gusta mucho estos videos.
you can check out my other video's, I have one with all the details outlining all the measurements to build it. I do not have any plans on paper
Super! Put up protection!
Got it done in other videos
Молодец.!!!
Excellent
Good Job !
Thank you. Appreciate the comment

Nice job Larry
Thanks Don..It's been fun to play with
First time that blade snaps and takes someone’s arm off, you’ll wish you had a guard on that thing.
Guards were installed a long time ago, check out my other videos
Молодец
very good video where I can see the plans to do it, thanks from Ukraina
You got a like and subscribe from me..thanks so much for an excellent video..
If you want to stop the rust, try 'cold galvanizing spray paint'. I make projects out of emt, and my welds don't start showing rust for 2-3 years.
That's a good ideal. Thanks
Your job worksite must smell wonderful, like an old cedar chest maybe?
That is a nice mill
Yes it does. Thank you
Are your blade wheels wide enough? I know on my 18" bandsaw the blade stays between the tires and doesn't overhang. I'm just not sure what you may need on that .?
Yes they are wide enough and have worked fine for over 3? Years of run time. I should of used 1-1/4” shafts
Exelente.
Thank You
nice video and sawmill. got a couple of questions. 1) how tall are the vertical square tubes? 2) what size is the inside square tube 3) what is the wall thickness of the 2 1/4 square tube? yours looks good so there is little slop. That's the reason for my questions. thanks Larry
The uprights are around 70" tall. It is actually a little taller than I need. But I wanted to be sure I could cut logs that were 48-50" across middle..as far as the thickness, I know one of them was 3/16" wall, not sure of the other one..I will be very busy for the next couple of days, but I will try to get you that information once I get back to shop where the mill is at. My dad is on hospice, so those things are a little more important right now.. Appreciate the post, make sure to hit the subscribe and like button for more updates
Larry Sbrusch sorry about your dad. I understand how you're feeling. Looking forward to hearing from you when the time is right. Thanks for the answers so far.
muito bom very good
appreciate the comment. Thank You
Very very pretty machine.intrested but there's no sales agents in Papua new guinea
No there is not
Muito bom Larry
Thank you
Friend, protection!!!!!
what is the blade speed? nice build
Ive subscribe to you a year ago and this project is excellent.
Did you check out my other video on the 158" sawmill I'm building
Are you selling it? If so how much?
@@FILBRITCHANNEL I have two other buyers in line once I decide to sell it..I need to finish my build on my third mill then I will put it up for sale.. Not sure on the price yet. I have to figure out what my cost is in it..I will sell it without engine..I would be guessing around $1400-1600
Yes please I would love to buy one from you. Please do it as assembled especially the runner so you can send it out.
What do you mean by the runner.
I’m gonna build one this summer I’m going to get an international 4700 truck frame it’s 28 foot long and 42 inches wide it’s flat and square all I will have to do is put angle iron for the track
Sounds like a great ideal. Appreciate the comment
You may want to rethink the 1” shafts. They have been proved inadequate in other similar builds. The stresses eventually break them, since you have spoken of deflection when you tighten your band I cannot help but to thin it may happen eventually to you also. Simple solution is to put extra pillow block bearings in between the 2 you have, 1 will probably do it, 2 if you have room. This will keep the 1” shaft from flexing as much therefore reducing stress on the shaft.
I have been running it now for over 3 years with no issues, but I agree with you..I am building. A 258" mill right now and I stepped to 1-1/4" shaft..I think it's the best thing to do to prevent flexing of the shaft..appreciate the comment
nice video! got one question. i have 7hp diesels engine is it ok for this type of sawmill?
It would depend how you would have it geared or the pulleys set up..I would think it would work. Might be a little under powered, but not much
Hey brother weld U 3 pieces of metal as a push handle to get you 2' further back away from that blade. Man if that blade breaks & whips back around toward You it will rip you in half. Also build U some sheet metal covers over each pulley & blade on the ends. Very dangerous the way you have it now. Great build though, works great 👍 thumbs up!
I have already done all of the above in my other video's...this is one of my first video's.. Thanks for the feedback
Hi Larry thanks for sharing it. Can you builb one for me and let me know how much please. Great work
Wouldn't be able to right now..we are still cleaning up from a tornado that came through our area recently
ohh how i love this video. just add safety bro. and i was kind of checking about the measuring matters. any idea if we will get that in your next video?
Check out my other sawmill videos. The sizes are in it, appreciate the comment
What about lubricating the blade and some guards?
If you get a chance. Take a look at my other video's..all of those issues have been addressed
What gauge square tubing did y'all use?Great vidios
mostly 3/16" wall tubing
Hi Larry. I like your idea of adjustment plates. Spot on sir. I plan on building a mill this summer incorporating your ideas. A couple of question: #1- how come you didn't make the tower in the center of the carriage? And #2- i would like to make mine with a pushbar from the side so i'm not stepping over anything in the middle, is that possible with your setup? Thanks Larry. I really appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work.
A push bar on one end or another might not be an issue..I just felt that the way I have it set up allows me to push the sawmill head more evenly..
I didn't want the tower in middle due to the fact that I would of had to run bigger belts, especially on a 52" wide cut saw
Is it balanced off-centered like you have it?
@@jgkurt pretty much
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
appreciate the comment. Thank you
Is the price about the same as a new sawmill once your done? Advantage I see is width you can cut.
Not really.but it depends on brand and all the bells and whistles you want to add to the mill
How do you release the blade tension after sawing for the day? Nice job. For those that criticize, talk is cheap. Lead, follow or get out of the way
Very simple, I normally just loosen the back two outter bolts and the inside two front bolts around 2 turns and when I'm ready to cut again, tighten them back to original location
You will need gussets on you uprights to take the flex out of it,, and some form of stays on you engine bracket
Great suggestion..will have to look into that
I would not use an electric motor unless I had electronic setworks because you’re never get the blade exactly where you want. I would have used bigger adjusting bolts than what you use they will strip out with the weight of the engine and framework within a short period of time.
Pretty neat and I am very interested in building something like that. How much do you think it would cost me in raw materials if I bought a new engine and all of the pulleys and metal? I have looked into commercially built machines but I am not afraid of a little work if it saves me some money.
did you ever think about making it water cooled so the expensive blades last longer?
The blade is water cooled..I will be putting out another video tomorrow about building a new sawmill that runs a 158" blade..it is the building process.check it out.I also sell a few of these parts at txdashcovers.com
Cool
Thank you
यह मशीन कहां मिलेगी
при разрыве ленты она полетит по рукам.ставь кожухи брат. ну его нахрен..
Hay brother love your design you will save blades if you put a water drip system didn't see one on your mill .would dig it if you could send me prints thanks ,I'm just an old worn out Carpenter trying to do something different ,thanks again and wood be much apperceptive PS your awesome brother thanks
I have a drip system on it. I took an old fire extinguisher bottle and I use water with dishwashing soap..
How many of you would like to see this old sawmill back in action..Post comments.. If I get enough interest.. I will start cutting logs with it again..????
Sir please provide the saw mill machine specification and machine digine...... Please sir....
please check out my other video's. I have one with the basic dimensions and engine size
Ешо не оконченые пила. Доробатоваеть лайк.
thank you
Nice design. What diameter are band wheels.
18-3/4” from txdashcovers.com
how do you get the belts on the band pulleys and figure out the size of belt for the pulley?????
Their is a calculator online for spacing of pulleys and blade length. Putting belts on pulleys is a task. Did you purchase them from txdashcovers.com or someone else
Could a transmission added between the flywheels improve the stability of the blade?
Not sure that would improve it
When I build another mill this body,I will just increase the shaft size to 1-1/4” to make it more stable
Hi.. larry.. i am from Indonesia. Your bandsaw is very simple and I want to know abt ur engine.abt the power. How many HP. Thanks.. Larry.

@@LarrySbrusch thanks larry..
Молодец! то же хочу такую собрать... есть чертежи?
Great job on this saw mill but how can I get the parts. And blue print to build it can I buy parts from if so could I get prices thank you for your help.
I really don’t have any prints, but it is something I need to look into since I have a lot of people asking for them. I can draw you up some basic prints. I can also build you a basic kit minus the big steel and shafts. Price would depend on what size blade and shafts you plan on running. You can call me tomorrow at 9565336811 to discuss details
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇦🇷💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Hola buen día gracias por tan importante aporte estoy interesado en poder hacer una existe la posibilidad de obtener los planos. Muy amable a la espera de su respuesta gracias
sorry, but I do not have any prints. All I have is in one of my sawmill videos..It gives you most of the dimensions
Like it
Appreciate the comment. Thank you
Thx for sharing
No problem. Glad I could help. Be sure to check out my latest build and new 158" sawmill build
Nice... is the blade slipping off the wheel at all?
No I have never had it come off the wheel..or either wheel/pulleys..I have several videos and you can see how it runs...and tracks. No problems at all
Very nicely done... thanks for sharing
@@LibraGeek If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them..I love to see other folks build these sawmills..they are so much fun
Larry what size belt do I get for the wheels, the wheels are18 3/4 so is that the size if v belt or do I go a little smaller and stretch them
Go to txdashcovers.com and look under industrial section
Just saw this video for the first time... Curious why guys use a belt drive vs chain drive off their motors... in case it binds up it will slip and not break stuff?
I'm a little confused on your question..But we would never use a chain drive on motor to pulley that drives blade..I don't know of any one that has ever tried it..I like the belt and it works great for me. I hope this answered your question
@@LarrySbrusch Yes thats my question as to why not.
@@HiddenValleyHomestead Personally my opinion is that is creates less shock on the entire system and I have ran the same belt since I built the sawmill..with no issues. with the speed that it is turning, everything is quieter..Hope this helps resolve your question
@@LarrySbrusch Yes sir. Just what i thought. Has some give and shock absorption to it where a chain wouldn't have any give to it. Probably cheaper as well.. I just happened to have a couple go cart centrifugal clutch drives laying around and thought i could put them to use but not if a belt is better
@@HiddenValleyHomestead Good decision..save a lot of wear and tear on everything else. Appreciate the comments
