Good for you man! I can't even imagine how many people criticized you and told you it wasn't possible or that your materials weren't right. Screw em'. Awesome, awesome, awesome 💯👍 very inspiring thank you.
-
Your commitment to this build and just finishing this video is, inspiring! well done.
-
There's something really special about seeing a 40 something year old, doing what he loves and sharing it on youtube. Am I the only one who feels this way?
-
Always nice to watch your ingenuity. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
-
I think it was a great project, build and test of the DIY concept! Lessons learned of course but it was definitely worth the effort. Big thanks for taking the time and effort to share with us!
-
Inspirational stuff John. I doubt that I'd ever build one myself as I no longer have access to such timber but I am in awe of all the shopmade jigs and appliances you have in your shop! Good job!
-
Your depth of knowledge is always impressive. Thanks, John.
-
Really enjoyed this video. Good ideas using the silicone on the wheels and ceramic tiles for guides. Look forward to watching some more videos. Thanks from UK
-
I love your camera angles, the quality of your videos and the finished products in general. Great job and Thank You!

This man here is very smart and friendly, he gave every details on what he is building on the sawmill. This sawmill is work as good as the once that cost high dollars. Thank you man! you are sharp.

Thanks for sharing and the detailed movie. Thanks for also showing the issues you still have I would suggest to place the wheels in front of the frame, so you can easily change blades. Lubricating the blade will definitely help against gumming and wear. Don't give up John, you've spent so much effort and time. And take us along!

I wish you were my neighbor because I like doing different types of projects, but yours was a big one! Plus I have a bobcat that would make it simple for moving the big logs! I learned a lot from your video about all the tricks you had for making this saw! I wish I was there to help you out!!😊

This is Super!!!This is a great job you have done. I think everything seems simple and precise for anyone to be able to build their own sawmill from regular home stuff... I learned a lot from this.Thanks for sharing

One on each side, 1.5 “ out from your blade guides, fit 2 ballbearing guides to allow for grater tension against bowing/dipping and to ease blade strain points. Spread the tension load.
-
What a great series! Can't wait for a year to go by and see what you do with the wood.
-
Your work ethic and thoroughness are evident in the fact that all the myriad nails had been removed from 3 3/4 x 1 3/4 salvaged studs, saving your blades. Great video.
-
This guy is absolutely amazing at what he does. (and those camera angles too!)
-
f'n brilliant. I can't believe how well it tracked "right out of the box"!! Good work
-
Kudos for your efforts and engineering on this project!
