About

I prototype and fully fabricate machines and use them on the farm for sawmilling, timber hauling, mowing, excavating, stone crushing etc. I have built a bandsaw mill, chainsaw mill, swingblade sawmill, 8x2 tracked amphibious vehicle, 4x4 utility terrain vehicle (UTV), 4x4 timber trailer with hydraulic crane, front mounted ATV mower, snow plows, ATV tipping trailer, CNC plasma table etc. I like welding with MIG/MAG, TIG, I do light machining, turning in the lathe and steel milling. My favourite tool is angle grinder. Subscribe if you'd like to see ongoing and future projects. Cheers!

Video Description

Modifying the gearing on my homemade swingblade sawmill according to the recommendation of the blade manufacturer - replacing a bigger V-belt pulley on the motor with a smaller OD one to reduce blade speed and get more cutting power as well. I have a half-a-dozen mods/improvements I want to still implement on this sawmill to make it fully suit my needs but I also have a silly little minibike to finish and other things to do as well. See you soon! :) My swingblade sawmill build series with full length episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkmF7FAZBzkWuunWOOh0zSzB1LllQdUKr My swingblade sawmill build start-to-finish build video: https://youtu.be/EAx2qLk5yeQ My other videos: https://www.youtube.com/@DonnDIY/videos Support me on: https://www.patreon.com/DonnDIY Follow me on: https://www.facebook.com/D0nnDIY https://www.instagram.com/DonnDIY
