Way to go on your first log. Operating my homemade band saw mill has kept my brain working hard. It's as much mental as physical. Each log is like a new challenge.

When you shim the small end 1st measure the big end and then the small end (which you did). But the difference between the 2 ends you divide in half for how much to shim the small end. It's the pith you are trying to line up . Not make the 1st cut even. So more should have come off on the big end than the small end on your 1st pass. The resulting flat side is now in line with the pith of the log. Flip it 90* and do the exact same thing. Ist cut side flush against the upright "dogs". Now I realize you have figured this out aince you put this video out. ;)

the tree is smaller on the top then bottom. shim the first cut to make a flat cut. then when you flip it over that cut will be even.

I may be wrong but i think its better if the log is on the side of the drive wheel. Its that you are trying to push the blade thru the log verses pulling it thru. Again i could be wrong but i think ive seen another video where a guy had the same problem.

Then your never going to get accurate cutting! Every blade will get full before you remove it to sharpen or replace it. Dull blades drift everywhere! The blade guides MUST move in to be closer to the log.

Why is your mill locking the log backwards from every mill I've ever seen?

What did you do to make the blade go up and down with? Do a vid on that I have this same mill and doing some changes as I go. I've already lengthened my bed rails. I've also built a 2nd log lock down. Motor will be next...
