Thanks, the industry word for the log holding devices is "dogs", and basically they hinge on the frame of the track. They stand up to make a right angle and lay down more and more to accommodate for lower cuts. If you need any advice at all feel free to ask. I have found recently the hardest parts to find on the internet are the wheels and that is where you need to start, then the pillow bearings and shafts. Everything else is just framing ect.

Great job, very informative, I was thinking about building a chainsaw saw mill but after watching your video maybe I will do a bansaw sawmill, hoping to build one real soon, may even start on it as soon as this month, what did you use to hold the logs in place while you cut? Again great video, keep up the great work.

I used a century 90 amp to build that and it did the job, but bigger is better. After that one died I got a 140 pro mig from Lincoln. It is a lot easier to use,because it shows how to set the darn knobs. lol. If you keep in mind you have to let the welder rest a lot you can get by with a small welder, I used bolts in some places in addition to welding until I could fix it better. Give it a test run, hell anyone can weld with a mig. P.S. This was my first attempt at welding with no lessons!

Great concept love it; would like to make one my self. What size welder do you have, I have a Mig welder but I'm only running flux core wire wright now will this work.Do ya think the welds will be strong enough.
