    For the bolt-hole drilling through hard steel at 1:11, I'd recommend a cobalt bit. They are pricey, but if it is for a common size that you use frequently (3/8ths bolts?) then you can get just one instead of a set. As an added bonus, cobalt bits can be re-sharpened almost indefinitely, until they are only a stub.

  • @scottc0510
    @scottc0510 6 лет назад +9

    Awesome build, Izzy! Really good design, I think.
    One tip I'd like to pass on is something I've seen in a few other videos that you may have not seen:
    If you ever want to cut thicker slabs, you can make and use some wedges to keep the weight of the slab from binding on the chainsaw bar. Obviously, this isn't much of an issue with shorter slabs, but when cutting longer slabs, it can be an issue. It usually becomes more of an issue approx halfway through the cut. :-)

    Hey Izzy, pick up some Farberware thin poly cutting boards (Target - $10 for 3) and cut them into glides for your projects. Using them it's possible to have tight fits and yet easy movement of wooden parts in homemade machines. The poly in them is surprisingly durable and long wearing.

    • @izzyswan

    • @CapnCrusty
      @CapnCrusty 6 лет назад +7

      Happy to share what's worked for me (the rest - not so much). With tight fits, give some thought to sawdust and chips that can cause binding between the gliding and stationary surfaces and design your joints so that they're naturally debris avoiding (V rails, shields) and/or have debris clearing (brushes, sweeps) built in.

    When I went to the Philippines the natives there cut one inch slabs of acacia using just a snap line and a 36 inch chainsaw. They did this all by eyeball a quarter mile from the nearest road. The 8 x 1.5 foot slabs were straight enough that a hand planer took care of the rest. It was all I could do to carry one of the smaller boards on my head halfway to the road. We made cabinets, tables, beds, and shelves out of it. I still have a bunch left over.

  • @scotth5503
    @scotth5503 4 года назад

    I made a mill very loosely based on this. Instead of a hand crank pulley system, I just attached casters to the bottom and push it along on concrete. And instead of a drilling through the bar I just put a u bolt around the handle + a ratchet strap for extra security. Works well enough. However it seems agonizingly slow with a Stihl MS291. I'm cutting an ash log that's 12" X 6' and a single slab takes probably 20min. Not sure if various youtube videos just gave me false expectations of the cutting speed, or if there's something about my setup that could be refined.

  • @jazzdad52
    @jazzdad52 6 лет назад +1

    Great idea. Just a suggestion from using my Alaskan mill, when you are a foot or so into the cut, good to tap a wedge into each side, again further down the log, depending on the length, be sure to add some after half way point. This will keep the board from pinching at the end of the cut.

    @chucksmith9633 5 лет назад +3

    Have to say, awesome sawmill! Love all of your builds.
    My comment is about cutting directly into the end grain. If you could turn the saw a few degrees, you would find that it moves quicker and cleaner. Your shavings would be long strands instead of powder. If this was a bandsaw setup, 90° to the wood is great, but a chainsaw does much better ripping with a rip blade at about 60° to the wood. Hope this helps.

      @incognitotorpedo42 4 года назад +3

      @@2dawgsmiked684 The force of cutting is in the plane of the bar, so those two holes shouldn't alter the strength in that dimension significantly. It's like cutting holes in a joist. You can get away with a pretty decent size hole, but if you notched the beam by the same amount you would weaken it a lot. If there was a bending force orthogonal to the direction of cut, then the holes would weaken the bar relatively more. I don't think you'd see that in normal operation.

      I fit tons of wood in an old beater BMW 3-series. The trick is to roll down the windows and stick it out either side.

    hope you don't mind if i make a suggestion, I'd follow the chain saw with spacers the width of the blade +1mm. It'd take some stress off the chain saw and the cut would be a bit easier and quicker

    Izzy, after you make your first top cut, you should flip your log over and then start cutting boards.

      Why?

    • @cajunfid
      @cajunfid 6 лет назад +16

      Because as long as the ground is fairly flat, having the freshly cut side laying flat means less stability issues with consequent slabs.

    • @canaan5337
      @canaan5337 6 лет назад +8

      Because a wide flat side down has a lot more stability then a round side down held with wedges and screws
