Building FrankenMill The 20ft Sawmill For Our Homestead

I am building a 20 ft long sawmill I am naming FrankenMIll because it is made up of many different parts. This is a mobile sawmill with a crane and winch to help loading logs onto the mill.
The mill itself is a Harbor Freight sawmill but it will also be heavily modified over time. I already have 8 ft of custom made track extensions for it.
Today the whole family got involved in putting the sawmill onto the trailer I had designed and built for it.
I was so happy to be able to use the removable crane to help load the sawmill itself onto the tracks. This worked just as I had dreamed.

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Thank you. Happy to hear :)

[@philsuprenant7894]

Great work Troy ,Melanie looks like you will be sawing soon

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Thanks. I hope so!

[@robertbannan6437]

You're going to want to put the 4x4's directly under the log bunks or you'll wind up bending the frame rail.

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Good point. Now I have to rework my idea because the bolts are what hinder me in the first place. Hmm.

[@robertbannan6437]

@@TheDoItYourselfWorld wood can be drilled for bolt heads, ends can be milled down for frame patches, etc....

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

I ordered some lag bolts. I will replace the nuts and bolts holding the bunks with lag bolts into the 4x4s

[@homemadetools]

Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Cool! Thank you!

[@vw64manyrd]

might just notch the 3 4x4s a bit for the support of the odd angle iron frame rather than stacking washers or spacers under the rest of the frame. Cool project, thanks for the videos

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Actually I am considering running those through a planer to shave them down to fit. Thanks.

[@davesanders9203]

[@aboveaveragejoe6291]

It's great that you get your kids involved in these projects,they are not thinking about now, but one day they will look back and call it the good old days!

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

She loves to help carry tools and equipment around and help us work where she can. When I put things away for the day she wants to help.

[@tomlangley6236]

I think the wood is fine. I believe it will act like a dampener for vibrations. Its looking Professional.

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Cool. Thanks

[@DoctorBill]

All Thumbs Up Every Time ! #29

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Thank you! Do you see how I had the crane supported on this video? I will likely put in angled supports to the trailer as well.

[@1989Falkor]

Nice, I havent been on since your daughter was born. Growing like a weed. Pure Michigan :)

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Yup, she is happy and healthy :)

[@darrellwampler3882]

I see. I guess it will saw boards from the top of the logs instead of the side. Band saw blade?

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Yes, its a bandsaw mill.

[@bernadetteevans2]

Please ask Melanie to let me know where she got her boots 🥾!!! I want a pair, they will come in handy for next winter…

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Haha, she stole them from me. I think they were from TSC.

[@patricks.hafersr.8723]

totally disgusting

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

Thanks for the comment. Every bit helps :)

[@DavidJohnson-tv2nn]

Troy, looks like the unemployed trolls are out and about.

[@TheDoItYourselfWorld]

I checked a mess of their channels. Look like legit channels with real content. So my next guess is that they were all hacked and controlled by a bot. I figure someone paid a hacker to harass me with a botnet for a while. I bet most of the channels commenting do not even know what is going on.

[@mrsakibyt9995]

This video is too much boring.I am sleepy yaar.

[@dropedlow33]

HAVE A GOOD LONG DIRT NAPP
