- This saw mill was built without any sort of plan - I just made it up as I went along. And of course, I learned a few things on the way. In case you’re planning on doing something similar - here are some thoughts on the build.
There’s a whole playlist of videos about the build - just look in our playlists..
or you could just go here for part one.. • Homemade Bandsaw Mill ...
Ok, here are some important website links. Please check them out..

Thanks for minding the noise, Tim. Much appreciated! Very pleasurable to hear nothing but that pleasant Irish accent. :)
I love your saw, sir! Regarding the blade drift issue; when sawing big wide lumber , you need a blade that has the largest blade gullet you can get. The gullet has to have enough volume to carry the sawdust completely through and then discharge it when said tooth exits the cut. If the tooth gullet fills up and clogs before the exit, then the blade may not cut straight. The fewer the teeth, the larger the gullet.
This style of engineering is probably much more fun than merely following conventional ways. New discoveries and trying out hunches, using stuff that's available, and just letting it emerge "all by itself" allows you to sit back after all the effort and be amazed 😃. Creativity is what gives engineers, authors and artists, musicians and chefs a reason to wake up each morning and try out another beaut idea.
You should narrate stories. You have the perfect speech pattern for it!

the best video ive ever seen,,,not too much useless talk,,,very informative,,clear,,,and hes easy to understand,,,talks slowly and cleanly,,,and does some great work,,,,ive learned a lot,,,thanks
I have watched 1000's of videos and none have been as enjoyable to watch as this one. Great work!
Wow, thanks!
I had all kinds of blade drift issues with my first sawmill attempt, which also used 0.6 mm thick bandsaw blades. The blade kept drifting up too. I suspect it wasn't so much tooth set but dawdust in the kerf that was the problem (those blade just weren't meant for that wide a cut). With my latest sawmilling contaption, which uses proper 1 mm thick sawmill blades, I haven't had any drift issues.
Interesting. I hadn't thought of the kerf being clogged. Maybe that was part of the problem too. I imagine those blades might cut cheese really well - but not much else.
Very impressed with your latest bandsaw slicing the logs. Well done, Matthias. Seems to me you might need a bigger, horizontal bandsaw to complete the set though? Green, of course..
WayOutWest Blowinblog woodmizer recommends the saw blade have a slightly upward angle of attack. It seems to want to dive a little on its own. Really admire your build, hope you post video of your milling products!
Firstly thanks for such an informative video. I found that blade speed was my biggest issue causing drift. tpi was a close second as a cause. I use 1 1/2 inch blade with 1 tpi at 3500 feet per minute and it cuts really well.I used an electric motor at first. 25 amp (7 hp) was the biggest I could safely use without rewiring my house and shed. I have since moved to petrol and it is far superior. I use an 12 hp petrol motor now.
Matthias is the man!
شكرا جزيلا
Magnificent!
The idea of a fixed saw and tracked log carrier is marvellous.
I love Jo Sal Won's Woodmizer LT15 videos.
And there are plenty of fixed circular saw/tracked log set ups on yt.
Heroic!
Thank-you!
It's been fun following your journey. Glad you were able to build something so awesome!
Cheers, Matt. You've been an inspiration all along.
(Even though this is a toy compared to yours, it suits the work it has to do, so I'm happy with it. I just wish we had trees around like you do.)

What a nice down to earth simple and functional piece of machinery. Thanks for sharing!
What a good narrator. Having taught in a trade school I know that you would have made a fantastic instructor. Maybe that is your vocation.
This is the best way to make firewood!
I love your narration. this is definitely the sweetest diy mill video...
My hats off to you from acoss the pond! Your railway & bandsaw are just plain genius! GOOD JOB!!!!
Rudimentary, but very effective. Pros and cons of your fabrication vs. industry made. The fact that you have a lot of space to make a runway is essential to your plan. I like it! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
I have no idea if you ever go back and look at comments on your older videos, but here goes. I really enjoy seeing all the contraptions and building you do, your calling really should have been an engineer of some sort, I was really enamored with your car wheel saw and your catamoran. Thanks For sharing!!!
Cheers, Ben!
I really do love your mind. You need something, so you just make it. Great! Well done!
Awesome! If only I had the mind, the tools, and the logs! Thanks for uploading.
Hello. I really enjoy this project and hope it continues to serve you well! Thanks for the update!
Thanks!
Outstanding!!! Simple, efficient and inexpensive. Thanks for sharing.
super cool- thanks for sharing. love hearing the thought process behind it all
Awesome build
Great setup. I like the stationary saw and the track/dolly setup. Very handy saw.
Just caught this series and enjoyed your build. Congratulations.
Thank you for the video! I glean little helpful bits from everything I watch about home built band mills; trying to work up the courage to try building one myself. Best of luck with your project(s)....
always amazed by the thinking that goes in to all the projects. i admire anyone who can think up something and then create a item from those thoughts. Artists all. Hot and cold weather will likely cause changes in those tires and brackets so I imagine that is when you play with air pressure and tensions
had noticed in the past that saw blades teeth are off-set, now I know why.
BIG spider at the end. cool
it seems like you can do anything! a true genius !!!!
What a great idea on moving log on trolley. I dont have a loader to lift onto high bed. Re heavy log turning, fit a second block and tackle use a short strip between them under log. Use one block to lift log, then by lowering other block will rotate log in the air so less stress on uprights. Just make sure stop is higher on side you are rotating towards so hook doesn't get trapped underneath.
Wow, that's really ingenious! I'm amazed at the thought and creativity.
Great video. Greetings from Illinois, USA.
What can you say ? Bloody brilliant, Heath Robinson, eat your heart out. More please 😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Cheers, Smallest Workshop!
Great job!!! And masterly explained. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!!
Some interesting ideas, just good enough.
This is brilliant man. Thank you for the video.
Brilliant, a thoroughly impressive build.
Great job making this sawmill!!!
Fantastic! Would like to eventually build my own to do our flooring in our cabin. Thanks for the ideas!
I enjoyed that so will now ferret around in the playlist and watch it’s gestation and development. 😀👍
That is ingenious and a marvel to look at. I really want to make one myself with my everlast welder even though I probably don't need one!
Awesome Job! Loved the series!
Great video I love the way you explain things in all your videos , looking forward to the next
I am impressed! Looks solid and just as safe as any large wood working machine. 2👍
You are in the same league as Matthias Wandel et al,for your inventiveness and creativity.I find this very inspiring and entertaining at the same time.Thank you.All logs are fair game now!
Where can I find plan's to build a saw mill.
Very impressed. u gave me inspiration to make one.
Chainsaw from Virginia Beach, VA.
Superb. Great commentary. A nice build.
Great narration!
This is an extremely informative video. Thank you for this.
This gives me ideas, now I want to build a rocket to space in my shed.Lol. A good and useful project this one. Thumbs up!!
Very cool setup all around.
I think its fantastic and shows exactly what can be done with minimal tools and finances.
Wow great job mate - a very interesting and creative design not seen before - congrats to you!!
Thanks, Rick. Just looking at one of yours too..
Terrific!!!!
bloody brilliant , love it!!!
Works very well and looks dangerous, what more can you ask for? :) I like your voice by the way, very soothing and relaxing to listen to.
Thank you from Canada
Brilliant demonstration of milling timber would really love one myself as I love to build furniture and have a forest across the road full of logs left by the tree cutters. Maybe one day I'll have one I build a band saw so I guess same rules apply just more tension on the blade
Very Nice, Thank You.
Wow amazing job. Pity you're over on the west coast, I'm here in the east and I'd love to have a look ☺
Nice work!
cool build. Many ad vantages with this design. I'm sure you've come up with log turning ideas since first posting.
Thank you for sharing this. The track configuration can also be improved improving the angle of both the track and the blade so once it is loaded; gravity will moves the tree down virtually free. It might save you time.
Nice one Tim as usual very interesting.
I like it. simple and it works, beats paying thousands for a factory built one.
I like the idea of a track supporting the logs to run them through the mill. I have friends that have large woods. Consequently they have trees all over their acreage. It would be easier to simply run a set of tracks on the center line, and move the logs to those tracks, then straight up to the mill.
I know!I saw that big ass bug too!I am quite impressed by the level of enginuity of your ability and it's awesome bc there is only a small amount of cash invested!Keep on,keeping on man!
Great job
very creative...use what ya got and then make it work. Jack of all trades and master of none ...... there is always room for improvement and growth of the mind and faculties...
I really liked this video, I'm already building my saw based on your saw several projects, but your project is the most used to work as a small sawmill, Parabens friend.
Country Brazil.
Thanks Gerson
Thanks, Gerson. Good luck with yours : - )
I enjoy that relaxing speaking voice.
works well, nice job!
Nice! Thanks for the video, Sir.
Really really good! Thanks for a cool video.
Well done Tim.
Very interesting video.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Cool machine.
Sure is home-made but hey, it does the job. Well done!
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!
Where can I find plan's to build a saw mill.
Really awesome
You Sir, are an inspiration.
Nice work 👍
Very handy. Good video! Pack grease in the bearings? Might extend their life considerably.
Excellent !
heat the cutting tooth before the 'set' then go around and resharpen if needed, I will bet that those spares tires they call 'donuts' would work great, they are a bit smaller and more harder rubber and are semi pneumatic, they are most all the same for each tire size and are ALl over the place cause no one really likes them but they save space and are limited to around 45 MPH so not supposed to run them only for emergency
Amazing video! I really enjoyed it! :)
Bravo and thank you sir
Great job and great narration. You should be so proud of yourself! I built mine in 2005, I used spare tires, much more "rounded" and the tread pattern ideal for the teeth off rubber issue. Buy guide bearings bulk 😀. Enjoy your saw, thank you for the entertainment.
Thanks, Leo : - )
Hi Fella' A great project, I will watch your video if you don't mind and take a few pics! Again if you Wont mind. I have okum sleepers and my local saw mill wont touch them, Just like yourself when you hit the nail.#Run A metal detector over your logs to find the metal?. Cheers A great and educational video. Tom Ayr Scotland.
fantastic, thanks for sharing!
Very cool stuff..
Great job, great video as well
Thanks!
You've outdone yourself with this one, Tim. Excellent commentary and interesting stuff. But... but I still don't understand how you're going to drive it to the hardware store.
Well done..it looks great...;-p
thats so cool!
Slick setup. I like it.
Handy way to make things!😁
I was thinking about building one just like this
Coolest one on youtube yet!
Hey man, suggestion. Get some bike tires, bike tubes to flush the outside of your main compression tires. Double win.
I hit a big spike nail with my brand new Stihl ms460. The chain broke and swung around and hit my hand. Lucky no major injury but I learned my lesson. I bought an inexpensive child's sized metal detector and run it across before I cut slabs or down trees.
Was it a spike nail or part of the screw in tree climbing things hunters use ?
Muy bueno felicitaciones por la creacion amigo!!!!!
Gracias : - )
very very clever !!
