I can't understand for the life of me all the thumbs down, I think what you did was awesome, I have nine acres and I am going to build one for myself.awesome video. Thanks
@@exercisemyrights Best use i have seen yet for a golf cart, Some people would give God a thumbs down if he come to get them in person,,, Stupid is un-fixable
That is surprisingly simple and elegant in design, it just seems to work. I'm impressed, good designs are simple and this one is just that, very nice job.
Very slick and ingenious. Awesome use of old golf carts and much better use of large trees. Our city had a ice storm a year ago and lost many large trees. It was sad to see them being used for nothing more than firewood.
Lotta homemade sawmills on YT, this is the coolest and most creative in my opinion. I'm new to your channel so I have some catching up to do. 27 thumbs up.
Put the track on a down slope with and auto shut-off switch (engine kill) at the end of the track. Start it up, ease it into the wood and go have a quick cup of coffee. Let the machine do the work or in this case let gravity have a hand at it. Guaranteed to work every time. It will be like having a free helper.
Mark this is one of the best videos I have seen yet. You are a true American. Like the old saying goes Necessity is the mother of invention. You are a great inventor. Mikko and Eric and lee are right Mark your ingenuity is to be saluted and it will inspire others keep posting your progress. We love it.
You sir, are a genious! I appreciate you showing the details of your build, while not making it an hour long explanation. I was happy to see this in my suggestion videos. Props for using a easy and cost effective golf cart as your base design. I see too many others try to repurpose a washing machine attached to a coffee grinder welded to a cast iron bathtub as thier DIY method... simple is better. Thanks for convincing me I need a gas golf cart now!
I have been watching your channel for a long time now, and am very very impressed with your skills and ingenuity! I would love to see more detailed videos/descriptions on the mill superstructure/carriage. I am planning on building a sawmill and so far, your assembly appears to be the most straightforward while producing equal or better results. Great job Mark!!! -Josh
Scott S. Their is no sign of any damage to the tires. I will be uploading a video soon cutting a log with a big knot in it and I will do a close up of the tires.
great idea. i have a lot of old small engines laying around. never thought of putting the blade around the tires. good idea. also whats great about it is that the log is stationary instead of the other way around. further it seems safer than conventional saw mill because your behind the business end. although i think the guy below has a good idea putting a fender well around the blade just for added safety. thanks for sharing!
Great idea; outstanding execution; excellent workmanship! But, the best part is that you thought enough of us (who you don't even know) to share all! May your works reward you ten-fold. Thank you markp0177
Top notch engineering. sure you could've swapped the wheels out and used something purpose built, but you just used what it had, and it works so nice. and you made a great video of it. my hat is off to you, sir.
Nice job!-You might want to add two more tires above your current band tires. - What kills wide band saw blade are sharp turns and the stress/heat built up in the blade from those turns.There is a recommendation chart you can find at various band saw blade manufacturers that let you know the maximum width blade for running on different drive wheels.-Those tires look to be 10-12"? That would restrict band saw blades to maybe 1/2" width. With the other two wheels making a large circle you open the curve up to whatever you desire. Maybe 24" or 36"? -Great device, I love it!
+Ted Kowalski Thanks for the advice. You are right. I don't cut that much wood a year. Just enough to keep me supplied in making furniture. Check out some of my other videos.Mark
Great job! Look into how to quarter saw wood if you are going to make furniture. It means more rotating of the log but makes a far more superior cut of lumber. Also, build yourself a solar kiln to dry the wood. You'll end up with high quality, stable wood for your woodworking.
That was some top class engineering right there. You are very modest with you effort and made it look almost too easy. The layperson out there might want to go and duplicate this and find out after a while that he's just making a mess.
mark....you've inspired me to get back and finish the bandsaw mill that i've started. !!! its been sitting formant for a year or so.....have been trying to get another project finished...so i know the bandsaw is next but still no room for both at the moment...great work!!
Mark I think you should get some plans drawn up for this thing and sell them, I'd be the first to buy a set. That way you can fund other little projects. Great piece of work it is!!!!!!
This is absolutely BRILLIANT! I am neither a carpenter nor a furniture maker, but just the title alone had me interested and what you've built here is fantastic!
At first I was lamenting the loss of a nice fixable golf cart. Toward the end i was wanting a sawmill like yours. I was wondering how well your blade guide blocks are holding up? Early large blade bandsaws used wooden blade guides and a thrust bearing rear guide to much success and they were easily renewable.
Genius MacGyver! Great mind and great fabrication. The only thing I would suggest is possibly safety covers for the blades and maybe an adjustable blade guide to adjust to the different log sizes. Just my opinion. But great project!! Thanks for sharing!
go spend four years in a classroom..then they will call you an engineer..but you could build a hell of a lot of good stuff in that time without the title!
I used to build machine controls and we frequently worked for pallet companies. This design is how almost all pallet disassembly saws are made. They usually have a hydraulic jack with a pressure gauge for tensioning the blade. And, the tires were a bit bigger. They also used a 120vac actuator to adjust the table height. Its funny that this is the first time I have seen this design used for a lumber mill.
why not both? All that is needed from the golf cart is the motor and wheels to ride on. The cart is already a frame and a manual break or pin in the one side will lock it up; add the guide and water and there it is mount four slots for square tubing to slide up and down and your lift on wheels and your done.. if need be mount a third wheel of any kind in the middle to take up slack, pin the steering. A rail could be mounted at an angle to affix another wheel bearing $12 at Tractor supply or any alternator, old broken tailor etc. When your done doing all the cutting the golf cart which you add extra low gear and maybe front wheel drive and a hitch can tow a cartload full of cut lumber back to the house from the woods on site milling you did. So your golf cart is your transportation to the tree with all the rails, attachments etc and a tailor with long expandable tongue to tow all that wonderful milled wood. I think Id put a few batteries and heavy duty cable or belt winches for moving lumber around best for milling ( ruclips.net/video/VAIs8VLFbls/видео.html ) ... Man you got me going now!! Gonna take an old riding lawnmower and make my own.. too much useful fun!!! For me though I'm using two electric motors and generator for sound reduction. For me less noise is best to enjoy the woods that much more.... Great job!!! and it works so well!!! Well done!! Thank You! one of the best this week!.
nekbiodieselworks. The next project, a golf cart that converts into a sawmill then back into a great looking cart,to dazzle the ladies no doubt. A absolutely fantastic idea mate,you first!
Hole in one, you duffer you! That is a very clean project, very well done, no stupid parts re-done, looks fairly safe with the operator behind the saw. Good for you, old saw!
This is Worth every penny nice work ,this is an inspiration for me thank you so much for shearing I just got my cedar 12'x 30" in the yard that I failed 4 years ago
Great job. You should get a lot of enjoyment out of that. Working with wood is great, and if it were me I would get as much enjoyment out of using it as I did in building it. I hope that makes sense.
This is brilliant! It just goes to show, you don't have to spend a fortune on these super expensive specialised machines. I admire your ingenuity. Know how and self belief can go a long way. Bravo.!
Nice work, I like the height adjustment system, You can paint a scale on one of the guilds, or maybe Graduations on the crank lever, and it's quick, easy and accurate.... The old Golf Cart has plenty of power, I'll bet it'll cut up an Oak, faster than you can shake a stick..... Now that you got plenty of free wood, you need to build a small roof over it, to keep the weather off it..
I admire your ingenuity and resourcefulness. It reminds me of my dad in that he could seemingly build anything he needed rather than buying something pre-manufactured. Keep up the great vids. I appreciate you skipping the boring and the tedious parts.
This looks like something my grandfather would have built. He was born in 1899 and had a strong 6th grade education. However, he was a heck of an engineer. Your project reminds me of a lot of his. Awesome job, Mark.
Good job Mark. I liked the re-purposing of the golf cart, a very clever re-use of an item into something more useful. Usual concerns over the need for a top guard for the blade. Have you also considered mounting an electrical kill panic button? How are you finding the wear on the blade from cutting through the tree bark? Is it worth considering making some sort of de-barking lathe to prevent premature wear and blunting of the blade? Can I suggest that you paint the ends of your logs before you cut them to save the effort of painting them before stacking them to dry. The paint will help to prevent rapid drying of the ends which is one of the main causes of end splits. Or you could paint them after cutting and also paint the first 3" of all faces to help prevent splits. Splits are such an annoying waste of good timber. Mark
Mark Fryer It only runs when I push on the gas petal so it has a built in kill already. I am still on my first blade. I do clean the outside of the tree with a water hose first to remove any dirt. I have only cut up a few trees so far. I will have to try painting the ends. Thanks for the tip.Mark
Awesome idea I think it needs an adjustable guide slide on the blade so you can move the guide closer to the blade so there won't be so much tension on it when you're pushing I think it will work out way better
This is very nice. It looks like you have done a good job. We are thinking about buying a saw mill here in Chile so that we can build our own house here, since wood is the material choice in the South of Chile. We need to do at least 40 feet for our post and beam construction. but It could still be done with your design. Nice!
This seems as a handy solution, but to prevent the vertical pillar and the horizontal consol sticking together, the rope movement devices should be synchronized. (For example with two fitted tubes what have to are flexible in each other. But if it possibly with a spiral axle or (on and off) electric stepping motors are better. And in this case you don't have to walk between two pillars for to lift and sink.) For to end I have a question: It seems that you didn't want to point that how do you solved the fixing of the saw dial. Well for this the saw dial has to be pressed for a bell form to provide space for the dial and the nut. ... And you transported it at 7.38 in a (wheel) barrow without direct protect. When the dial works it wears big load especially in the bent part and if you don't save it during transports it will break soon. What do you think , is this safe? Is this construction certified? Woodworking machines are dangerous You need to use it safely!
I subscribed to your channel and hit the like button..I built a sawmill myself about a year ago and it was a lot of fun to build and use..I was wanting to put a collection of homemade sawmill builds in one video and was wondering if I could add yours to the collection...
That is an awesome idea great steel fabrication im a retired welder fabricator getting into wood working in my spare time, cant wait to see the projects you do next keep the vids comming.
When you crank the winch up/down.... that seem to tucker you out pretty quick lol. Maybe you should hook up a Warn or HFT electric winch(some are R/C too). BTW- Great fab job!
Never could see the point of golf......way better use for the golf cart. Nice Job.

That is surprisingly simple and elegant in design, it just seems to work. I'm impressed, good designs are simple and this one is just that, very nice job.
It took me around 8 hours to make and $280 worth of steel. The saw blade cost $68 with shipping and around $30 for the paint.
Mark, that is incredible. Very good job, very intuitive, my co-workers are in awe with your ingenuity.

Scott S. Their is no sign of any damage to the tires. I will be uploading a video soon cutting a log with a big knot in it and I will do a close up of the tires.
Thanks for an idea, I am going to use a 18hp lawn tractor that will give me 5 speeds on the blade
. I also like your pulley system...
Tony Iocca Have you tried the lawn tractor yet?

How could there be 37 people who did not like this? This is about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Great job, Mark. I think I'll subscribe.
The machine needs a shield for the blade. Blades break and can come off at the speed they are going. Extreamly dangerous.

I used to build machine controls and we frequently worked for pallet companies. This design is how almost all pallet disassembly saws are made. They usually have a hydraulic jack with a pressure gauge for tensioning the blade. And, the tires were a bit bigger. They also used a 120vac actuator to adjust the table height. Its funny that this is the first time I have seen this design used for a lumber mill.
Great Video Mark!!! Great mill, I used to do some milling with my father on a woodmizer and this looks like a great alternative.
That is too cool! Very smart work, let me know how the furniture goes!
how does the saw blade stay alligned on the wheels? i would have thought it would meander off the center as you pust through the lumber
It has thrust bearing on the back side of the blade guides.
ah, thanks, must have missed that part :)
i applaud your ingenuity by the way. you have made a very efficient machine there

why not both? All that is needed from the golf cart is the motor and wheels to ride on.
