Sorry if this is a repost, but if you find this half as entertaining as I do you won't mind seeing it again.   :)

He's cutting a big river-salvaged cypress using a bandsaw mill he made from scrap.

It is long and drawn out but still entertaining.   :)

That was excellent! Heavy duty mill.  Must stay clear of wheels if that blade broke though.

The yarding shots are a little drawn out... and why does he lift the cut pieces so high?  The rest deserves the extended time because of the story behind the wood and the mill.   8)

That guy is only about 40 miles from me, even going all the way around the lake.  I gotta get up there for a visit someday. :)

I realize taking those huge slabs off is labor intensive, but pretty surprised he left that many on before taking them all off.  Looked to me like a lot of weight that would transfer into drag and heat on his blade.  Otherwise, cool, always like to see ingenuity at work.  Was it me or a camera angle or is the head of his mill at an angle to the log?
