MS880 Double End Chainsaw Mill PART 1

[@iamrichrocker]

i am here because a yank from Oregon mentioned you..and anybody who rolls with sunglasses during a freak UK storm deserves a sub..

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Ah thanks dude great to have you here Blaise

[@GenerationsLodge]

Thank you for translating into Fahrenheit and inches! I use a Husky 3120xp to mill, and my next project is cutting a 62” diameter hickory with a crotch that reconnects to the main trunk (84” diameter at that point). Your video has been the most helpful of any (and I’ve watched a lot of them)!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

nclaytonc thanks mate glad your here and glad to help.

[@Sealight007]

I have a 3120xp set up for a double head. As long as you don't hit metal, it will be a breeze. If the log is dry, keep the chain oiled. Lots of fun.

[@terryturnerjr8271]

That chainsaw is gnarly

[@Ancient_Iron]

That is some serious power! No other two chainsaws in the world could done the same!!! STIHL MS 880 POWER!!!💪💪💪

[@AdamTrautmanBowling]

Ever heard of an 090?

[@Ancient_Iron]

@@AdamTrautmanBowling Yes I have! Lots of weight and torque, but ultimately slower... Nice saws tough!😁💪

[@em4703]

@@AdamTrautmanBowling @adamtrautman2873 It's only so much that torque itself can give. Hp is king in wood cutting, there's only so much resistance wood can create, after that chainspeed and hp is king. You could put a bigger sprocket on the 090, but its still a less efficient saw; hp, torque and rpm taken into account.

[@tommycutztrees]

Admire your passion and patience,hopefully people watching will appreciate how much hard work and time goes into extracting beautiful slabs of timber for everyone to enjoy.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Snow is novel lol. From Ohio so snow can be a way of life. Got your channel from Northwest Sawyer. Amazing saw setup your using 👍. Enjoy your content

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks Bud and welcome! Blaise

[@mattfleming86]

That is fantastic 🤘

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That is impressive. I'm going to share your channel in my next video.This stuff is great! Thanks again for telling me about you!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Can you tell me about your helmet? that looks awesome!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks for the shout out bud! Its called a Protos there not cheep I have the SENA headset built in. It make a massive difference on jobs being able to talk with the guys on the ground easily, also I listen to music and answer the phone! Cheers Blaise

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

There are bandsaw mills cheaper than a pair of 880s...... love it! Hilarious also that you were using a ladder only as the guide. That would make SEVERAL nice tables. Great vid, color me jealous.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks Rick, Yes band saw would be nice one day but a cheep bandsaw wouldn't be wide enough for the slabs I want to do.. cheers mate great to have you on the channel. Blaise

[@jonowens3841]

Bandsaw that big... I'm sure they got one somewhere I never seen one.

[@em4703]

If you can get me a bandsaw that can cut 2m width at 2x the price of this setup, I'm buying it.

[@ronraby4561]

Awesomeness Blaise I've a pair of 3120s ported powerful saws could you recommend where I could buy a rig like yours

[@joelclements8560]

Somebody please tell me something. I read something that said having 2 power heads is not necessary. It doesn't increase power. Granberg makes a helper handle for double ended bars. Cheaper than purchasing another giant saw. The reason I ask is because I'm looking to buy a homemade chainsaw mill with a 20ft bed and is portable. This machine is cool .I believe it has a 53in double ended bar and is manually operated. Nobody has a machine like this one and I'm very involved in chainsaw milling with my Alaskan. I don't know if this is a good idea or just go for an every day band mill. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[@salazarpayne3784]

Bro... if you ever make it to Oregon, USA... I'm buying you a beer. That first cut was skillful to say the least.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Salazar Thanks mate.

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

That was one confused mouse around the 10 minute mark! Great video, I love your milling vids. Nice job :-)

[@BlaiseBrogan]

WOW I never saw that I think it was a shew, great spot mate and thanks so much it means a lot friend. Blaisey

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

I thought I was seeing things at first, couldn't tell exactly what it was though! Looking forward to part two. Have a great week :-)

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Cheers mate

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Hey Nevermind, yeah I had to watch it a couple of times to make sure I saw what I thought I saw! :-) Have a great weekend!

[@RandomStuff-zt6qf]

where do you even find a bar like that?

[@my11badkids78]

Closest you'll ever come to getting me to watch a Docking video. 👉👈

[@BlaiseBrogan]

😂😂

[@AbamAdy]

came here from mr pinter...awesome slab...subs

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Ah mate thats great to hear he said that he left a link for me. Welcome to the channel my new friend! Blaise

[@brdski_2238]

Awesome, could you explain how is it posible to run your chain qith two chainsaws, I dont understand

[@BlaiseBrogan]

skiSrp Pre hi mate they both pull the chain but if you look there are mounted on the mill different so the work together. It’s a bit hard to explain but basically it cuts much faster. Cheers Blaise

[@clintdoucette170]

Was wondering if you ever use the helper handle on the end of your double ended milling bars? Recently got one myself aan would be great if someone had a video on setting one up. Great videos , cheers from green bay Wisconsin!

[@bigmohawkguy]

You know it would really suck if one of you accidentally hit the chain break while the other person was still going

[@AndreasAsprou]

How big is the bar!?

[@BlaiseBrogan]

180cm cheers

[@oldschoolmoto]

new sub great channel love the dual 880 wow better than a 090

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate great to have you here pal. Blaise

[@Marcenaria.penhafiel]

como e feito esse procedimento de corte com duas maquinas como consigo comprar o facao desse ?

[@thomasbroking7943]

Like a blizzard. .kkkkkk lmao..we get blizzards, you can't see and lots of snow...but if you go upstate NY, they get crazy snow, places get feet of snow..by Great Lakes is insane how much snow they get

[@thegreenman4898]

wont the sleepers stain the hell out of those slabs?

[@aztecdragon5229]

How much money in material was that particular tree? Those slabs were huge!

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Difficult to say I haven’t sold any yet. Cheers

[@em4703]

You can almost pay your setup with a tree like this.

[@anthonyappleyard5688]

I also am in England, and we have had rain rain rain rain rain rain rain.

[@outdoorfrenzy]

Is there a month where you don’t have that much rain?

[@anthonyappleyard5688]

(May 23) Since then, we in England have had several weeks of drought with only 2 properly wet days, and my front lawn is going brown, and my rhubarb is flopping and is not making any fresh young leaves.

Craig Wheeless I was surprised it’s taken this long for someone to comment this well done sir. 👊🏽. There’s a good one in the desk video too. 😂

[@morgansword]

The boys over here said; "Give that britt a chance, you'll like his content. I do I do, I like it a lot so I sub'ed yea

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks very much mate. Which boys?

[@morgansword]

@@BlaiseBrogan Northwest sawyer and one other and his name on the end of my tongue

[@Regdiggs]

How is it possible to attach two saws to one bar like that?

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Josh Redmond hi dude it’s a special bar for just this. Cheers

[@Regdiggs]

@@BlaiseBrogan did you have it specially made or is it something that Stihl regularly offers? Also how is it that one saw doesn't hinder the performance of the other saw?

[@jacobbrown7551]

That is Badass

[@gordonxu2989]

Never thought of using two engines for a chainsaw, until today. It really makes sense

[@TheZack753]

Cool !!! exelent proces

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Thanks mate and welcome to the channel! Cheers Blaise

[@gregrupar135]

I was dumping while I watched this video

[@MartyInTheWoods]

10:17 the owner of the log arrives... look in the centre of the trunk... not quite sure what to think about those two guys making all that noise!

[@richardbritt2281]

Man that thing can make some fantastic slabs. But I'm still left with a few questions. 1, still wondering how both saws are kept in sync and 2, the saw bar spans a good distance, how do you keep from concaving your slab? I do think I might build that large but one motor.

[@johnwayne318]

Richard Britt check my channel out

[@johnwayne318]

One motor

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Richard, sorry for the delay in replying to your questions somehow I missed it. You can hear when the saws are running in sync very occationly you need to stop and re sync. Yes you have to be very careful how you set the mill up to avoid bar sag. cheers Blaise

[@richardthomas1566]

I smell clutch

[@lawrencesintom5625]

👍👍

[@jasonblanton7185]

Should have either prepared the log before filming or change the tille lmao lol

[@charliechristianson]

that is chainsaw weather

Y el raton que?¿ le habeis echado de su casa!¡ espero que vaya a por ayuda y recibais vuestro merecido malajes!¡

Sell the off cuts to the bowl turners. They love the complex grain.

[@tienglongmy]

Quick hack for rolling and adjusting big logs if you don't have a forklift... Screw a wood plank (2"x8"x8' or bigger) on the log perpendicular to the log, the leverage makes it easy to adjust. I've flipped 4' diameter logs easily with this method.

[@BlaiseBrogan]

Nice tip mate thanks for sharing. Blaise
