Homemade Bandsaw Mill From Old Car Wheels

Sandra says this video is too specialised and you lot out there won’t like it. (Unless you happen to want to make a bandsaw mill.) But how could anyone NOT be interested in welding and grinding and drilling?? Especially when things go round and round?!
Perhaps she just means there aren’t many horses in this one - if so, she’s right. (Though there is at least one.)
The plan is to use this to make the best of the few trees we need to fell.
Thank you Mike! Thank you, Jerry!

You're cut out to be a mad scientist, Tim! It's unfortunate, the way the labour marked has turned out for that profession.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Ha! If I ever got a job, that's what I'd like to be

[@chrisdrummer200]

its great to see a simple bandsaw mill that most people with a bit of a workshop could make

[@TheVaultable]

It's fascinating to see something I always considered to be only available fully assembled from a company being built by hand. Bravo

[@johnnyspropshop]

That was great, tell Sandra we need more videos from you like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@subjectofgov]

Inspiring! My Dad built many pieces of equipment from old cars.

[@xysix2548]

Sandra is wrong where I am concerned. I love your work, your concept, your ingenuity and the lot.

[@the123fester456]

necessity is the mother of invention well done looks great

[@fattyhamster]

So interesting! Band saw today, Hadron collider tomorrow! Love your 'tools' videos as well as all others that show the fascinating comings and goings of your lovely farm and inhabitants.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thank you, Gracey. We put up anything that seems interesting to us - we're just lucky to have people like you to indulge us : - )

[@knotgirly]

WayOutWest Blowinblog just to let you know have just finished boiling up the chick peas before I sat down to watch the latest video. Love your stuff. You have me believing that anything is possible.

[@061356]

Is there anything you can't do? You and your wife are amazing!!

[@WayOutWestx2]

She is - I just run along behind

[@EmilyJustice]

You're a fine team.

The like is from my dad who suddenly became extremely fascinated whilst passing. Perhaps your new Bandsaw series will attracted different viewers too :D

[@WayOutWestx2]

Best wishes to your Dad!

[@BrassLock]

That looks like some fun!! And very useful too. When I had a little property many years ago, I'd call that type of home-made manufacturing "Recreational Engineering", and it always gave me a big thrill when something worked.

[@craigwhittaker2572]

I love your philosophy, which seems to be 'try it, and if that doesn't work, try something else' words to live by :)

[@makingitthrough190]

Remember the show: Junkyard wars! I think you would have won every time!

[@jamessmithandgarrettsmith3623]

Obliterating the competition more likely especially if you consider his air-powered loco and his 2 railways were born from scrap metal!

[@candidethirtythree4324]

It doesn't matter what you are making, I just tune in to listen to your voice. You could do audio books when the weather is too bad to tinker.

[@joshm3899]

what a great video, simplicity. two old geezers like myself building machines

[@Flintknappingtips]

Thanks for taking the time to share your ingenious inventions! It's really fun to watch.

[@linctexpilot8337]

I love your design! I can appreciate keeping the mill stationary and moving the log instead!

[@gregkieser1157]

Love it! Barnyard engineering at it's finest......More of this type of stuff.....love your workshop projects!

[@scottlund4562]

I really like this video, simple but very effective. Plus, I saw 11 horses.

[@Corsairflag]

I thought I was watching a video from India until I noticed you had shoes on !!!

[@tonywatson987]

Good job for us that you didn't listen to Sandra! That welding looks pretty good (well at least the 1st one did) :-) NOW for up & down and back & forth ... can't wait! Well done, Tim!

[@shiregirl2001]

I always enjoy your building gadgets videos.

[@Survive2022]

That was great, simple but very effective. Can't wait to see it in action !

[@oby-1607]

Just love your lack of fear to just go ahead and make something work. Good for you.

[@kokoproductions1]

You, kind sir, are a true genius :) Loved every second of it

[@kismetbleu9363]

I don't have any idea what I just watched but it seemed exciting!

[@scottyboy7804]

okay thank you very much love your videos you are a pretty laid-back fella seems like nothing does not bother you you're a good man keep up the good work and God bless you

[@YourOldDog]

Great video! Wish we were neighbors, I also love goofing around.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Greeting from Canada, i like your humor. You are a very good handy man. keep up the good work. Best regards.

[@Haustorium12]

just wanted to say that your family is amazing!!! such love!!! and also I love your voice...it's great!

[@harrygrove2764]

I love it!! That workshop looks well used, there are so many videos on here in pristene rooms that cant ever have been used for real work. Subscribe this all day long!

[@conniegraham2272]

Tim you are so HANDY!

[@damonstamper1441]

Can''t wait for the next vid! I love how nice your community seems to be.

[@dennisst99]

Sandra couldn't be more wrong! This is a pure tinker-person magnet!

[@samleigh7817]

Probably a bit late now, but there is a place just behind the Red Cow hotel in Dublin that makes bandsaw blades.

[@sburge1989]

You are a sort of mad genius, i like it!

[@FrontierlessCraftsman]

Absolutely brilliant, well done!

[@hasdrubal121]

Really great job. I've said it before on another vid ye did, it never ceases to amaze me how you guys get thumbs down for havingz a go and actually doing something. I really enjoyed those vid and hope some day to follow suit. Bravo

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thank you. Yes, it's strange how negative people can be - I don't understand it. But humans really are a strange species... : - )

[@SeverSever1979altai]

Ребят всё классно и просто! А можно с русской озвучкой, или титрами... the guys did a great job!

[@keithscrafts]

Nice job. I have always wanted to build one of these. I'm up in Offaly.

[@MrEltiburone]

Simply awesome, so ingenious, thumbs up to you my friend.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thank you

[@aoifeone]

Brilliant Tim.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thank you : - )

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

Absolutely brilliant! I really do want to make one of these, as a means of turning logs into fuel chunks for my gasifiers. Keep up the good work :) .

[@teoportela5850]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@mnhs06]

that looks very cool

[@jimfreyne]

top class job. super welds. Good luck with it.

[@RiverWyvrn]

Oooh, I like your flavour of DIY

[@kingamackowiak3095]

I love this mess around

[@maryhornbostel6959]

I love listening to you. you sound like a simpleton, but you get things accomplished.

[@PhillipHall01]

I would like to tell you that I really enjoy your channel. I first became intrested in your videos when watching your bee videos but soon expanded to your other videos. Its a pleasure to enjoy these videos of you and your wife in everyday living. Thank you, Phillip Hall from United States, State of Mississippi. PS My Grandmothers family was from Ireland. Her mothers maiden name was McIntosh and her daddy was McWilliams.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thanks, Phillip : - )

[@tylereddy5048]

Great video, very fascinating. Cheers.

[@dalemaloney255]

your welds look great! very strong. good work. nice job!

[@scottpetrie8707]

Buddy that’s awesome

[@peldiman]

You're an insane genius! Can't wait to read what @Matthiaswandel thinks about it.

[@tonywatson987]

Giacomo Guilizzoni or Matt Cremona!

[@piperalpha]

So, Tim is insane.. And also a genious. Sounds about right :c)

[@raincoast9010]

Good job, nice bead.

[@allanegleston13]

every one seems to have a bandsaw. i want one . good luck with it. :)

[@venturagil3456]

this is awesome

[@marcoantoniomoralesmartine5781]

Very good

[@pigseye2]

Awesome video. Very educational and you're hilarious! Thanks!

[@mmarti2x]

pigseye2 I couldn't stop laughing! I just stumbled upon this video, now I'm hooked.

[@pigseye2]

I agree, Tim is amazing and hilarious. He is a genius in my opinion!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Sandra was wrong! Loving it!

[@nedcramdon1306]

Man.... the first one I see the pulley and belt on the same wheel. I always wanted a little mill like that for some reason.

[@scarletpeate]

Wow. Wonderful

[@cezarymockao2746]

Good Job, Your creativity is just as a Slavic one ;-) You can do anything out of (allmost) nothing.

[@russdavis1960]

I laughed about the 'no earth' attempted welding. Been there, done that. I have an idea, could you put all the brake bits back on and install some sort of master cylinder to stop the wheels/blade in case of emergency?

[@tropifiori]

Brilliant

[@makernational4723]

Very awesome,! I felt like I was watching "Lord of the rings" movie. I am hooked, I am probably going to watch every single video you have uploaded

[@WayOutWestx2]

Good plan!

[@DOCDARKNESSREAL]

Nice work dear chap!

[@sixmagpies]

Tim. Please note. Used, or had used, many of these (known there as C4's) in Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam. One is almost as keen on health and safety rules as the average Vietnamese. However, even the Viets consider a crude, sheet metal blade guard to be ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. When a wider (also advised for dimensional accuracy. ) blade lets go, the results can be truly horrifying, wherever you're standing. I'm sure you're aware of this, but sometimes a wee nudge can help us stubborn old farts back on the rails.

[@WayOutWestx2]

But there is a guard on the final version. This was just a trial.

[@sixmagpies]

@@WayOutWestx2 Bravo. BTW, some poplars from you doing well here in Wexford. Also planted a few from the US, two of which did over 3m in their first year! Encore!

[@andycoombes]

More chunky workshop stuff please Tim! Madder the better.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Love to, Andy - but I have to try to make a living too. (Can you believe it?!)

[@andycoombes]

Same here! I'm trying to convince my wife I *need* a bandsaw......... I *need* a bandsaw.......

[@ProGangstaShit]

Keep it up you two, great!!

[@JDeWittDIY]

Everyone here wants a bandsaw mill.... at least I do!

[@cheaphomesteading]

Good job Man I would love to make one for my homested

[@MrVailtown]

Nice very nice !

[@leksey7870]

Great job!

[@piperalpha]

You know, if you add a third wheel to the middle of the other side, you'll have made a bandsawmobile. Imagine pulling up to the hardware-store in that! Mr. Wandel would be green with envy.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Great minds think alike - you'll have to watch the next part : - )

[@piperalpha]

WayOutWest Blowinblog Well, now I can hardly wait! Here, have some Norwegian well wishes!

[@BrassLock]

+Eff Kay : So THAT'S why Mr. W paints everything green!!

[@piperalpha]

You may be on to something

[@FarmersDIY]

The state of the work is easy to understand. Please do your best so that there is no injury. Thank you for watching a good video.

[@CORRIGEEN71]

As ever very clever,

[@pierdolio]

Bravo!

[@markhowells1221]

Fair play good imagination I would be happy with that

[@whistlelips]

Car wheel bearings...nothing better, adjustable steel plate for the engine...superb.

[@rodrigobaldin3878]

Muito bom. Simples e eficaz.

[@candicechristensen1753]

impressive!

[@ldwithrow08]

The best wheels to use are the "Donut spares". They inflate to 90 pounds and so you can put a lot more tension in the bands. They are available from junk yards for a few bucks apiece. They get one for every junker that comes in and they never wear out on the car. Therefore there are hundreds that they can't sell so they go cheap.

[@davidsumsky6187]

Very good job :-)

[@jaro3594]

Celkom dobré. Jednoduché a efektné.

[@ghostriderwashere]

I smell a trip to the ER coming down the pike.

[@shanniemedrano6344]

If there is ever an apocalypse...this guy has my vote to be the new world president. He'a bloody genius. Is there anything he cant do?

[@sachapriest4371]

id love to come work for you, so friendly indeed. i wish my boss saw this

[@boots7859]

I watch a lot of builds, and honestly this one had my jaw on the floor trying to figure out who would need such a thing. Then you mentioned logs, and it snapped into place. I'm a little surprised you didn't clean it up a bit, as it would slide much better. This thing is cool, however I can't help but think there's a reason you don't see many saws running on inflated rubber tires..... Cool and scary as hell.

[@WayOutWestx2]

This is still working fine. I'm hoping to mill some logs this week - video coming soon..

[@jthihj]

good very very good

[@sheller94]

fantastic..... I know a couple of bands that you could use that saw on !!!!

[@WayOutWestx2]

Ha! Me too!

[@ThomasShue]

pile of wood behind you welding... brilliant..

[@MrHowtowithBen]

The old skeleton of the clockwork doughnut cart in the background lol :)

[@WayOutWestx2]

Just waiting quietly for its day

[@ohmyproduction]

Very cool 😎

[@Kristoferskogsberg]

are not you afraid that they can catch fire in the workshop when welding? but you're damn sure to build things. really nice!

[@WayOutWestx2]

Yes, I do worry about that - so I am very careful. I must tidy up a bit more too

[@kikikaakau-delizo8152]

Geez! Your abilities are amazing! Have you ever built a rocket mass heater/stove? I figured if anyone would have experience and advice on them, it'd be you. I'm considering it over a traditional wood stove to heat a 512sq ft. house. Thanks!

[@WayOutWestx2]

I'm no expert at Rocket Stoves, so I wouldn't like to advise you. But it sounds like a great project and there are plenty out there who could show you the way. KZbin to the rescue!

[@edsautter51]

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. That's all I can say. Except that I'm also waiting for part 2. Oh by the way, can you bring me a donut cart video too? LOL Thanks for the video.

[@rexwilson6598]

I just subscribed to your channel, Great Video keep up the good work !

[@antonioribeirodacunhaadami2404]

Muito bom gostei

[@twagner6155]

Your shop looks like mine, functional but not so neat. I grew up on a farm and live on a farm and got a bit of the Irish in me too. I love it since I'm on a journey to build a band saw.

[@bobdickweed]

Bloody Great man...;-p
