Greetings,
I am new to building tools but not to building. I am working on a couple of things; a welder, a sawmill, and then a playhouse from pallets and found materials. I hope to add my voice soon, but for now, I will need to listen.

Hi Brian - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:
Two of those are on my list! Sawmill for the endless trees on the property, and a playhouse for my son.
How are those builds going? Got any pics to share?
no pics yet. The playhouse is just a deck so far and the sawmill is only a pile of metal and a dream. I have started with collection of parts and looking at plan upon plan to decide the best course of action for the parts I have. I might have to go metal diving again to find some pulleys. So far I have two motors, both vertical shafts, but 10 and 13 hp. I am working in my head the way I want to use them. If I use the transmission from the lawn tractor i took them from, I should be fine.
My sawmill is the same, minus the pile of metal. :D
Very interested to see how your work progresses. Be sure to keep us posted.
Hi Brian,
Welcome! :welcome:
The sawmill possibilities are endless. :lol: I posted a few relevant videos just the other day; you might find a few good ideas there. See here: Bandsaw Mills
