Hi Donn, I truly enjoy watching you doing all these projects, it encourages me to build some interesting stuff myself. But right now not much going on, -26C and no heat in my shop makes it impossible. Thanks for the video. Take care.

[@aldolajak1267]

I was going to suggest that you need a band saw, but after I saw how square you cut the sq tube at 8:35 to 8:52, I concede to your skills. As an old school retired tool & die maker, and tool & die shop foreman, I would have hired you in a heartbeat.

[@krisley5178]

Nice work Sir. You're making exceptional progress.

[@DonnDIY]

[@Quagmire0815]

awesome Projekt, seems like you could need a metal-Bandsaw....just build one😁 15:36 your Weldcart needs an Alignment😂

[@thunderstruck1078]

I somehow know this will be awesome to watch. You made me think about my skate days. Late 80s. That's when first half-decent ones came to former Yugoslavia, I guess. Powel Peralta and Santa Cruz boards, Independent trucks, Bones wheels. Great, worry-free days.

[@DonnDIY]

The board I used in the video has Independent trucks, really great product. But yeah, I remember the old skateboarding days as worry free days also. Only we got beat up in the shins quite severely while learning new tricks. But that made landing a trick first time even more enjoyable. It taught us perseverance.

[@jvmiller1995]

Just found your channel but as a former welder fabricator I am very impressed. I love wood working too and I have often considered this same build. Only I want mine portable on a trailer if I was to ever build one. I was looking at a hydraulic motor to power the blade and a gas motor to power the hydro. Just because it would be real hard to swing a gas engine back in forth. Maybe a 2 stroke but hydraulics would be great for feed too, using a hydro wench drum with a cable wrapped around hooked to both ends of the carriage and it just pulls it both directions. Then of course if you wanted hydro log loader. I have seriously thought about it and if I ever get my rat rod done it might be the next build. But you sure do make it look fun and have some good ideas. You need to invest in one of those new Milwaukee circular saws for steel. I seen I guy ripping 1/2 sheet steel and it looked like he had a normal skill saw going through plywood. Leaves a clean cut and the metal never gets hot. You should look up a video of one. I just seen it a few days ago and I promise I have one on my christmas list right near the top. Anyway great build I liked I subscribed keep up the good work,

[@gonzac.5788]

Esta quedando genial 💪

[@johnstack4316]

You can buy angle iron pretty cheap. I have built a circular mill basically copying the turbo sawmill design. Go get some UHMW hard plastic and get some elevator bolts. They are just bolts with a big washer for the head. Countersink the UHMW plastic so the head of the bolt is clear of the surface. This will allow your slider to work better than steel on steel. It's nice to see a guy fabricating in his own shop with limited resources.

[@DonnDIY]

Yup, I'll see what I can gobble up for the sliding surfaces. Either plastic or bronze bushings, which one is cheaper to get my hands on.

[@president2]

[@willboudreau1187]

Excuse me if I missed it, but it would be extremely helpful for you to post a diagram of the finished mill in the video notes of each video to give us some context of what you're doing in each video. All I see is a bunch of close-up fabrication but have no idea how far along in the project we are. Thanks.

[@michlaheb940]

Isn't that the fun of it? Figuring out what part is being worked on and what purpose it will serve? ;)

[@Thundermuffin93]

He may or may not have a finished diagram....and I would encourage you to look at other swing mills to give you general context. I understand context would be nice, but tends to be a rather rare occurrence on this particular platform.

[@aldolajak1267]

I confess to having used my caliper to mark steel like you did at 5:30, but I did it on smooth steel with blue layout dye. I realize that your caliper is likely harder than the apparently scaly hot rolled steel plate you are using, but Oof Da, dude, it is NOT a scribe. But, we are creatures of habit, and we take the short route. By the way, nice skills !!!

[@DonnDIY]

He sold his first bandsaw mill. That's why he's building a turbo swingblade this time.

[@camper273]

OK thanks.

[@robertmatthews4285]

Could you elaborate on your choice of a swing blade vs band? Do you have a band-mill already? What advantages does this have over a band-mill?

[@DonnDIY]

Hey, yes I had a bandsaw mill (full build here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3TIhYChns-iiJo). The main advantage over bandsaw mill is that the log doesn't have to be handled more than once and you get dimensional lumber out of the log right away. On a bandsaw mill you have to lift the cut slabs off the mill and later back on to edge them. Also you have to rotate the log several times to get the lumber you want. On the swingblade you have carbide tip blade that is more simple to sharpen and the mill has less moving parts (low maintenance costs). Look up Turbosawmill and one of their most popular YT video "The Incredible One Man Mill" or something similar, it shows how cool it is.

Need this sawmill plan please

[@noiseosoutros]

thank you

[@aserta]

18:07 i'm surprised the metal didn't warp. Whilst not all of the ones i've cut, quite a few of them warp badly and i have to use a jig i made on the press to bring them to trueness.

[@RCake]

...use thicker wall materials?

[@WireWeHere]

Will your opposite horizontal slider be a roller on a flat surface to prevent the problem of maintaining alignment with changes in temperature etc? Our sawmill hearings all use this method and I've noticed several small bandmills run into binding issues going for 2 single edge rails. Just a thought.

[@DonnDIY]

Nope but the feet will not be anchored to the ground so they can slide a bit eliminating the possible binding problem.

[@WireWeHere]

@@DonnDIY Well thought out.

[@jacobotes8443]

Regarding all the cutting. Could you not get another torch head cable for the plasma cutter and use it to cut manually?

[@MrPaulviles]

Why not cut the plates and holes on the plasma table? Why not cut the RHS on the chop saw?

Toujours plaisant de regarder ton travail ! Je me demande parfois si ton esprit trouve un peu de temps pour se reposer 🙂. As-tu déjà réfléchi a augmenter la surface de ton atelier ?

[@GeoffHou]

Do you get your bearings and shafts locally or internationally? With bearings I'm always concerned about the type for the different loads , the speed rating, the right allowance for the fitting and the dust or moisture seals. That's because I'm not a mechanical engineer.

[@willwade1101]

Just an idea. I saw 1 guy who used a garage door opener to move his cutting head down the track rather than pushing it by hand. He had a pendant with 2 buttons on it to control it, Forward and Backwards and when he released the buttons it stopped moving.

[@DonnDIY]

I'll try to keep this mill super simple so the maintenance cost will be super low as well in the future.

[@willwade1101]

@@DonnDIY That's cool. it was just a suggestion.

[@БорисВолык]

Просто супер

[@willwade1101]

If that is to slide on those rails rather than roll you will need to put UHMW Material on the sliders to make it move more easily. Don't put it on the rails because if something was to fall on the UHMW Material it could become damaged.

Wouldn't it make sense to have a V-shaped roller rather than a slider with a lot of friction surface? I doubt you could grease it without caking it up in saw dust...

There has to be friction so it stays put while cutting. You'll see what I mean in the future episodes.👍
