pro tips form a arm chair critic :P cutting fluid, when ever drilling holes (in steal/iron) always use cutting fluid, apparently it help keep the tool sharp/make is last longer, cast iron is the only one you dont have to lubricate. its something all the machinists do but never talk about why i don't know

You should get yourself a good drill and tap data sheet. It will give you the proper size hole for a specific tap, and will tell you the tollerance for the hole. The harder and thicker the material the bigger the hole, so go toward the max side of the tollerance, and of course right the opposite for thin and or softer materials. And of course use the right tap fluid for the specific material being drilled. Have fun, a milling machine is a blast.

Well done. For threaded holes that will be used often, it's a good idea to chamfer the hole after drilling and before tapping. This helps with starting the bolt in the threads. For this, the bolts are a one time thing, so not a big deal.

Once I get the interior walls in, and the electric run, I'll be building something similar on the metal working/equipment storage side. I may use wood instead of steel, but the concept will be similar. Not having a Milling Machine, limits some of my metal crafting... If I come across an affordable one though.

Yeah i definitely would have thought they'd be leaking bar oil by now, if they haven't already they eventually will, particularly after use. After you've used the saw periodically undo the oil cap to release any thermal pressure that can push the oil out, some pressure will help lock the oil in i guess. Anyway, find this helps a bit, particularly on my smaller saw...

Dude! Great practice project and just great stuff! Great Bridgeport...Great Saws...Great Slabs!!! What is your band with and what length bands? Have you built the band blade sharpener yet... but that would be cost effective over the years...cause “There was definitely some metal in that big honker of a log”! I love that the character of the inclusion of the item is way out in front of the band cost...all that is relative and it’s much more interesting ...the character and story of the old wood is what is as beautiful as the slab itself. The history of the day to day lives of generations of people living in a different time...that is what let’s out minds leap off and fallow the visions the tree forts being built and loved and the fun times of the children who wore them out. Or the white sheets swaying in a summer breeze on the clothes line out behind our grandma’s house...that’s the hunk of metal that grandpa hung grandma’s line from. I’m always looking for the brighter side of life and a little metal inclusions that cause the nick on a chainsaw chain or band saw blade and fantastic to me... because to have hit them means you’re living your life in a way that makes that story part of your day!😁👍. Some people are looking out for potholes on the way home from a comfortable cube and some are trying on to loose their grip on their chainsaws or adding a wedge so the tree falls “away from” the house! Good Times!😁👍. Very impressed by that sawmill!

Hi Matt, I have been watching your videos for awhile now. I would like to know how you keep track of all the different woods that you mill, by that I mean what sort of paperwork (if any) do you use to document when you first received a log, when was it milled, what type of wood it is etc. - I have lots of different types of exotic woods that I mill in shop on my 14 inch band saw - nothing more than 4 feet long. I paint the ends of the logs when I first bring them home and I would write on the ends over the paint with a sharpie, but I have discovered that after a few months the marker has almost disappeared - I need a new and better system?
