 All right lumber mill. I think I'm ready to start doing something on you so this originally was like a Giant sharpener for fence post things something's has a couple of different Sharpener pieces that go in here and these screw on to this shaft And then there's a fatter part here and obviously this saw blade doesn't Originally go in there, but this is where I want to put my saw blades however The saw blade is a little bit wobbly So I'm gonna have to carve a little spot into this fatter part that the saw blade will fit perfectly on and then you know Cut a nut out of this that'll screw on there and then I want to use this shaft these two bearings This thing has a chain drive Which won't be good because it'll overheat, you know at the at the high speeds So I'll have to replace that with belts or maybe gears. I don't know first thing I just need to Mount this blade on there really centered and securely All right, let's get this thing off There's pretty good threads. I should be able to cut a nice nut out of there to put on there to hold the blade and now this is what I'm talking about where the blade doesn't fit right because You know, it's not the right diameter right there so I can carve into this a little bit And get it, you know, just It just has to be this have to carve down the thickness of the blade and get a spot where it's really well centered and fixed So I guess that's my first task On my lumber mill situation and this needs to be really really precise Because the thing's gonna be spinning like crazy and if it's not centered and it's gonna be wobbling vibrating so Okay, how do I do this? Okay to carve that part I could stick that rod in my lathe except It won't fit through this hole in here Like back here So it would have to be sticking way out and then I have to get it. I'm not confident that I can get it centered well so maybe I need to find a way to carve it down right where it is which I Mean theoretically that should be the best Way to center it anyway because we'll be on the thing that it's actually gonna be spinning with anyway, so All right, let me see if I can figure something out here Can I attach an angle grinder here that I can move very precisely and then just grind it and turn this maybe Well the obvious thing is just to turn on that motor and have this thing spin on its own And then I just hold an angle grinder and carve it But this is like a three horsepower motor and it's raining outside and I'm on solar power So I don't want to use that kind of electricity Yeah Maybe I can put a little motor on there Because it doesn't need to be strong Oh There's not fit on there be great. Oh wait, it does fit. It's just yeah, it just fits really snug Looks like the threads match though. Yeah, it's getting on there. Yeah, it's good that it's snug You see it's not gonna come off accidentally. Oh now it's loose. I just need to Get it on there. I just get some of this dirt out of the way Nice, so I don't have to carve a nut out of that thing. Oh Still have to carve this thing all right when you don't want her in your room Oh It's beauty all great stuff. I was lucky. I had one of those nuts just hanging around It's perfectly. Yeah, you're not cover off from it One serious cover I take off this clip here. I can get the chain Call you some needle nose pliers for this Arrest the guard right there Looks like I can get it lined up right to make this I was looking at the motor. It's only one and a half horsepower. So The Sun came out a little bit. I need some more. Oh, it's don't take that long a little minutes Maybe I can just do it. I need to carve this Saw blade fits on it, right? It's on it perfectly centered So I'm going to angle grinder it down And then maybe use a file to get the last Rage in there It's gonna use a lot of power to turn this on I'll get spinning so I can do it You want to come over here and just go like this? Yeah. All right Let's save a bunch of electricity All right, you can do that without getting your fingers caught in anything All right, let's give it a try Okay, can you spin a little bit more? Yeah, do a little bit more For this part And I'm just gonna very slowly grind it down so pull this really steady so we're doing a nice even circle All right, the saw blade fits on there But you know where I where I carved in It's not like perfect Perfectly 90 degrees like right in that corner because I was using an angle grinder. So now I just need to file the edge Without screwing anything else up nice and deep right in that corner It's slowly until this fits perfectly That already made a difference Pretty close All right. I just gotta not screw this up because I can't put material back on Let's go slow Whoa, I think I got it I ground down the inside of this nut just the same way I was doing that thing and screwed it on here And now I've got maybe a millimeter of wobble Which frankly I think is fine for what I'm building here although When I get this all put together and I can turn the motor on and get it really spinning that I can Just take a file and you know Straighten it out that last little tiny bit But really I think even if it was just like it is right now, I think it would work fine. So Well, that's a good start. What's next?
