I live in NC. The coldest weather I am in is around 48 degrees. I use STIHL PREMIUM in my saw and canola in my oiler. But here's the thing ihave the bolt suspended above the bar anb chain mostly dripping on the chain right at the grove. Seems to work great. When I take off the chain for sharpening the grove is clean and oily.

I have been doing veneer for over 40 years. NEVER use a J-roller. You can't get enough pressure. Get a 2x4 with a round over edge and use that edge to apply the pressure AND start in the middle out towards the ends.

Yard trees collect metal like a scrap yard. On a log of that value, its still worth cutting but it makes milling a huge pain in the a$$.

Try using layers of alcohol based tints. On walnut, I start with amber tint. It’s bright yellow. Follow up with Amber/ Brown. It’s amazing the depth you can achieve.

That chain with the broken tooth is fine. Knock that tooth off and keep trucking. You'll never miss it. KZbin "content creators" have made walnut in to a superhero, but it's overrated IMO. Yeah, it's beautiful when you mill it. But nobody's talks about the ugly vomit color it turns after it dries. You have to stain walnut with walnut color stain if you want it to stay looking good 😅

I have suggested this to other channels with no seeming results but here goes. The one benefit of using a chainsaw mill is the ability to pivot the cutter through the cut. A bandsaw mill, E Z Boardwalk uses what I am going to share with you built into their mills and that is instead of cutting 90 degrees to the length of the log, you get an easier cut by having the nose of the bar enter the log at the steepest angle forward. E Z uses 15 degrees but the more you angle the better. Wouldn't have anything to do with nails unfortunately but easier on the chain, motor and clutch for the cut itself.
@shinyribs2178Ай бұрын
Chainsaw doesn't care about the angle. More powerful motors will keep chain speed up when engaged with more tree where rocking a smaller saw to bite less keeps it from bogging. But at some point you get fully engaged in the log and it is what it is.

@jfricke4413Ай бұрын
By angling the cut as you describe, you’re effectively increasing the width of the cut, forcing the cutters and motor to do more work to make the same cut. I don’t see any reason why this would have a benefit that would more than offset this downside, especially on a sawmill where the blades are intended to cut a log as normal. There would be a slight benefit to entering the cut at an angle, but that would only matter if the motor was undersized for the task.
@PascaloreАй бұрын
@@jfricke4413 It is by knowing the construction of the strands of a log running lengthwise. Cutting across the end of a log is the second toughest while the chainsaw mills that mount on top and cut down the side is the most difficult as it is against the strands (like straws) similar to brushing long hair from the bottom up. By rotating the blade up to 87 degrees the strands are much easier to chip out as they break away from the strands beside the cut strands. A KZbinr showed this using a chainsaw to make firewood when splitting extra tough logs.

I do appreciate you taking the time to show us what's involved. Never seen a chainsaw mill work and works better that I would have thought. I have lots of big trees here on the farm. Sold a few walnut last year. Lots of big cherry, burr oak that need to come down. Would prefer a band saw but may start with what you have. Wondering why such a long bar and do you do your own sharpening and repairs? Would a metal detector checking before each cut locate nails? How big a saw is needed? Thanks for the vid.

@shinyribs2178Ай бұрын
I started with a chainsaw mill. They're fine if you have one or two projects and mill maybe two trees a year. Chains cost three times what bandsaw blades cost and aren't as durable. I zip through nails with the bandsaw all the time and keep trucking. Plus, saws keep getting more and more expensive. After buying a couple different saw jigs, wearing out a couple $700 saws and dozens of chains I realized I'd already spent over half of what a bandsaw mill so I made the jump and still had all the struggle. And the chain eats up so much much of your wood, both in kerf and how my much more planing is needed to smooth a rough cut board to usable for furniture. Between kerf and planing, a chain costs you 1/2" of wood per cut. It all adds up fast.

Hi so I got a question, I got a 661 and I'm trying to put the 47 inch, stihl bar on it, but still is telling me that I need to change my sprocket. So what I'm getting at is more of less, What do I need to do to be able to run a 47 inch bar? Because I have a milling job that I need to run a 4 foot bar. So I'm trying to get my saw set up for that. Thank you very much for any help or any advice!

I have the 708 & never had a need to replace it as it is dead accurate beyond 1/64th". All miter saws need to be tuned for pristine accuracy. All miter saws also have large foot prints & exceedingly poor dust colletion. That's why I mounted mine on Dewalt's rolling miter saw stand, & roll it out when I use it, & pack it away to save space. Never had the need or desire to build a cathedral for it.

I just stacked a huge pile of maple and use some old plywood ripped into thin strips as stickers. Should I restack it all with Kim dried sticks? For the plywood, not stain or react with the maple? I hate to imagine ruining it all with stick lines stained into it. this summer I Rest stained a cedar deck that someone had painted. It was pretty much brand new maybe a year old but the paint failed so I thought I would work smarter and flipped all of the boards over only to find They had deep black stains running across them wherever there is a floor joist!

Ours is situated on ground. Used T bars driven into the ground to elevate and made the bottom of the barrel with rebar. The holes in the rebar screen are large enough to allow the ash to fall through while allowing cans and such to remain in the barrel. Later remove the stuff that doesn't burn with a picker or shovel. No issues and we have had the same set up for years.
