Homemade Portable Band Sawmill Build #15 - Lifting System

Fabricating part of the stabilizer frame - it still needs cross braces and diagonal reinforcements which I can add after the band wheels and motors are on their place so I can
check that everything clears everything.

 The lifting system / cut depth adjustment system is made from ATM Monkey (Honda Monkey clone) old sprockets and a 25 mm round stock. I will change the sprockets and chain for new ones in the future. The 25 mm round stock / shaft feels kinda flimsy so some kind of support in the center of it would be good or changing it to a bigger diameter shaft later on. But I will see if it's needed in the future.

The hand crank is temporary, also the mount I made for it. It will sit on the cross brace when I get to reinforcing the frame. But now I will start fabricating the frame for band wheels and motors.
