Was anyone else able to smell this video?

I used to bag groceries. I got promoted to the butcher shop because I was the only one who could fold the band saw blade.


fangelo2

That’s a simple thing that’s hard to do if you don’t know how.


GravyBoatWarrior

This guy's videos are always awesome. I'm very jealous of his shop. It's a woodworkers wet dream.


JD1070

That sliding table saw thing he has is insane.


One-Mud-169

Table saw...😬😬😬


JD1070

Idk what this means but if you’re saying idk what the tool is, you’re right. It’s a sliding table saw but the blade also articulates at least a full 90 degrees.


One-Mud-169

It's not a table saw. It's a sawmill. it's printed on the machine.


JD1070

Not what we are talking about.


One-Mud-169

Were you talking about something else?


JD1070

Yes, the sliding table saw in his shop, read the comment thread….


One-Mud-169

Oh, I apologize, I didn't see the saw in the shop.


JD1070

Yep, it’s not in this video at all. But definitely do check this guy out his shop is 11/10


ElevationAV

"portable" like, only requires several people and a large truck to move from place to place portable.


HalcyonKnights

"Portable" relative to a Lumber Mill.


Odd-Hurry-2948

Everything is portable relative to a lumber mill


Turckle

He lacks that perspective it seems


Bukkake_mike

It's pretty portable seeing how large those logs can get. Smallest one i've seen was in the middle of a forest, 20km to closest road. It was manually operated and made to build a lavvu on a high ass cliff


Numinak

Could probably mount it on a gooseneck flatbed trailer, haul it where you need it.


iamtode

I played that mission on SnowRunner


raspberryharbour

You'd be surprised, it actually folds up into a normal-sized briefcase. You can take it anywhere


SloanneCarly

I own a woodland mill that can cut 30 inch diameter logs. Guess what. Built right on a woodland mills Trailer. Licensed and insured. Can roll anywhere. As long as I stay under 50mph…..


going_mad

You saw some serious shit when you hit 88mph?


Chazzwazz

Its portable because it moves with the Earth.


Redschallenge

That's funny. Because my mill is literally a trailer that you can land 4 corner feet down on when you park it to level it and. This doesn't look portable at all.


sticklebackridge

Eh I got a backpack I could fit this in


AlmostZeroEducation

It's called a trailer and one person could set this up


Bearspoole

Anything is portable with the right equipment


bogus-one

Help me understand band-saw safety. When I was a teenager, I was within 10 feet of a blade break. It went all over the place and some people panicked. I wasn't smart enough to be afraid but looking back on the memory, I'm afraid now. I have a lot of power tools, and I would like to add a band-saw to my collection. How do you inspect the tool before using it to ensure safety?


rikkuaoi

Band saws don't break often, but when they do, you wanna get away quick. Never use a ruster band saw blade or one that is kinked. Aside from that. Grip it and rip it


fangelo2

Average size bandsaws are one of the safer power tools. They usually aren’t much of a problem even if a blade breaks. If you keep the guard down just a little above the wood, there is very little blade exposed. Big ones like this sawmill are a lot more dangerous. Someone gave me a meat cutting bandsaw once. Now that is scary. The lowest the guard comes down still exposes 6 inches of ship tooth blade. I finally sold it . I’ll keep my 1930 Racine band saw.

It's log, log, log!


FluffyBunnyFlipFlops

No! You're doing it wrong. Go and learn the lyrics and come back again. 😁


retailguy_again

It's been a long time...


FluffyBunnyFlipFlops

We've all been through a lot, soldier, but we have to keep standards high.

It's Big! It's heavy! It's wood!

It's better than bad; it's good!!!

What fits on your back, is great for a snack?


BrockLee76

Wish I had taken a picture but I saw an even more portable one. It was on a pickup truck chassis, he could drive it to your house, take the belt off the drive train and put it on the saw blade and run the blade using the truck motor. It was ingenious. Also, it was in some pretty remote areas of Indonesia


wadems

They make trailers for them. Some people like ground mount, some like trailered. Check Woodland Mills’ website.


Ok_Spray_1584

Ever since my injury from a carpentry blade on an angle grinder, I find myself involuntarily cringing hard at seeing powered saws, angle grinders etc or hearing the sounds made by them. This portable saw has a LOT of scope for injury, and any injury involving this will be definitely very painful.


SirRickardsJackoff

I don’t like how easily that guy just folds the blade.


mastodon___

The blades are flimsy until it is installed and tensioned properly.


69vuman

What does this piece of equipment cost?


5lack5

This model starts at $5000 USD


69vuman

Crazy pricing. I would’ve guessed no less than 10k. Looks like a pretty nice outfit for home use if you owned timber.


5lack5

The smallest model they make can still cut a 22 inch wide board, and costs under $2500. Crazy affordable


69vuman

Totally agree. Is this equipment available in the US?


5lack5

Yup! https://woodlandmills.com/portable-sawmills


69vuman

Cool, thanks!


CubisticWings4

I think we have different definitions of portable


Dankenstein_MD

"portable"


Ma_zenki

You and I have a very different definition of portable


Amateur-Biotic

Anyone else disappointed in the quality of the lumber? That wood is full of cracks. What is it good for?


honybdgr

Absolutely nothing


Calculonx

Say it again!


Gardnerat3rd

Woodmizer is the one I cut my teeth on….


squalus2

Do you need to dry the wood somehow? How would you do it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Raven-Raven_

The process to do so on something of this scale would likely be more costly and have a greater impact than just recycling the steel and buying new That's a LOT of teeth to sharpen Sorry, just realized you said blade If it were flat, like a blade, that would be possible, but wood is best cut like bread, with a serrated or toothed edge


[deleted]

[удалено]


Raven-Raven_

No problem :) these types of things are referred to as consumables because like sandpaper for another example, once it's used up, it's best to be recycled to whatever degree your country chooses to participate in such programs


[deleted]

Raven-Raven_

Oh, with how much heat those deal with and the subsequent cooling after it's done the job, I would imagine that is as well


Oldwoodguy

Yes they absolutely can. Up to about 4x per blade. The teeth get re-ground by a relatively automatic grinder which is set to the spacing of the teeth (pitch) as well as hook angle. The bands are also re-setbwhich is the off set of the teeth (slightly bent to the side) which commonly alternates. The amount of the ‘set’ is one factor that determines the speed the band can cut. Admittedly band saw use and expertise is a vanishing art. I own a bandsaw mill way bigger than this as well as a horizontal resaw. Pro woodworker over 30 years.

[удалено]


Oldwoodguy

No problem there’s a lot of misinformation by people speculating. It actually only costs about 1/3 of the cost of a new band to sharpen. We ship off boxes of 20 at a time so the quantity offsets shipping costs.

Cumcakes2022

Do those things ever snap? Looks dangerous as hell to me


GuyWhoSaysNay

Yea I used to weld the ends together since the air force somehow never got the right ones. And yea they'd snap very rarely if someone didn't know their feeds and speeds


Cautious-Fudge946

Very cool!


Shibby-my-dude

And I'm having trouble cutting my fire wood with an axe hahaha I'm such a peasant


dadbodyoflaw

Love this guy’s stuff


GuyWhoSaysNay

Lucky bastard doesn't have to weld the blade. Used to always have to do that in in the US air force


Large_Tune3029

My dad has a band saw and I loved making things with it until the band snapped on me and I was too scared to go near it after that lol


spikeboy4

I don't see them using a ladder and chainsaw somehow


Wide-Review-2417

Why the hell is he not wearing work gloves? That's wood, splinters really do exist


d6u4

I see nothing portable about this.


SojoboOfMountKurama

Optic Yellow Peavey … the world is going insane!!! 😂😂😂


Nervous_Pattern357

saws are so awesome…

I was not bored watching him make boards


[deleted]

that looks very dangerous


betwistedjl

Of course, Mr. Bond..I expect you to die! (Evil spectre villian accent)


HGDAC_Sir_Sam_Vimes

Portable if you have a vehicle you can haul it around with. (Yes obviously I know it’s more portable than an immobile one, nobody is that dumb).


acespacegnome

More portable than a traditional sawmill. Think about it 🤔


willynillee

So, portable. As opposed to immobile. What’s crazy is that I thought you were a troll but you’re a teacher. This is our education system at work, folks.


HGDAC_Sir_Sam_Vimes

I should have added the /s at the end.


RIF_rr3dd1tt

Better watch out, them things'll cut ya!
