RealRuler2112: A tiny section of video/audio toward the end corrupted/skipped and made a super loud pop, which KZbin compensated for by making the pop (and the rest of the video) quieter. It's near 20:32 in the unlisted video; that particular second was cut out of this video.

Not sure if it's synchronicity, but Advoko Makes has an almost identical system. But automatic pulled by bunjy cord, and with a counterbalance shelf to match the chainsaw weight. It's outrageous how well it works and the perfect 0.66inch planks over two feet wide it does without the operator going near the saw when it's cutting.

Counter intuitive but water will cause the boards to sieze up.

I have a Boat Load of pre-cut logs out back and I wanted to "Split" them for firewood...I'm too old and too weak to do that, I used to do it when I was younger etc. Now, on the Long 2x4, I plan on putting it across two Saw Horses, to keep the 2x4 from bending, I will put 2 more 2x4's vertically beneath the top piece, counter sink the holes for the screws. This will add stiffness to the guide bar (the top 2x4). I will create a 2x4 "X" Cradle to support the logs to be split..This is a most Wonderful presentatiion, your voice and patience is much appreciated!

Enjoyed the video. I had a couple of thoughts that could possibly improve the rig. Of course I am theorizing as I have not used it myself. I thought that you could put a handle on top of the rig so that you could push down on the rig as you pull it down the 2x4. Also I thought that if you put a ballast extending off the other side of the rig and weight it to counter the weight of the chainsaw it might help in making smoother cuts.

Might help if I glued some to the guide. I think I must use your ideas as soon as I can get a rip chain Toy with possibly a longer bar.
@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 4 жыл бұрын
Rip chains are better suited to mills that have attachments on both sides of the log. With a single attachment (like this one), you'll need a normal chain for correcting the cut once it starts to go 'off.' Think about this: low angle chains aren't as sharp on the sides of their teeth, so they have trouble coming back once they go astray. ... A longer bar is also ill-advised; a longer bar means further projected error, so a little off becomes lots more off. If you have a really thick log, you might get better results by first making a defined cut on each side before you plunge through--that's how I did the larger of the two. Don't mean to try to shoot you down here, but I've put quite a bit of thought into this simple gizmo. Thanks and good luck.

Same saw as the MS171, for the most part. You'll have no problem adapting one to this mill. And yeah, its thin cut means that the saw is terribly underrated.

Then I barked back, "Yes, I will." And I still do!

I live in the city and therefore have very little space, plus only own the one chainsaw. This looks awesome - ingenious & elegant design!

Excellent..simple and effective. I started milling my own lumber in late 2018. Using it now. I have 3 to 5 trees that die each year and I try to mill them. I tried many methods and ended up making a chain saw sled based on Izzy Swan's design. Started with a Husky 440, then a 460 and am now using an old 272XP. I mill mostly white and red oak. I have found more power the better. With the sled, weight is now a negative. When I mill it is still a good workout. I like your videos.

Awesome technique! For the bandsaw, consider a resaw blade in the future. Makes a massive difference for long straight cuts.

I have the same saw and made a jig from some angle iron welded together. Worked fine. I was milling spruce so a little easier to mill. And like you said, the bark dulls the chain. I used this often while building my remote cabin. Cheers

Let me first apologize if this is duplicating a comment already made. Ok, I have the Milwaukee M18 cordless chainsaw, it comes with a 16 inch bar and uses the same 62 tooth low profile chain as your saw. I have replaced the 16" bar with an 18" bar and 72 tooth low profile chain. My opinion is that it does not over work the saw at all, and I regularly cut some pretty hard species of wood, like Blackwood Acacia, Osage Orange, Black Locust , etc. It does however give me a good amount of extra cutting distance. I also filed my chain down to be a ripping chain and that really took a lot of load off the saw. I use a diy Alaskan mill attachment, but it seems like it would be easier to cut slabs when standing up so I'm going to give the design you are using a try. Thanks for posting this video and cheers.

Very much enjoyed this video, very ingenious. Ive got an Alaskan chainsaw mill. I think the only advantage i have is it holds both ends of the saw completely steady and i can use any size chainsaw. Also I can board it out into different size boards. But for just cutting cants or beams what you made is brilliant. Again great video!

I enjoyed it and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to do my own milling. I love the plastic washers and I might be able to help with that. Laundry detergent bottles are a lot thicker and smoother since they have to be bigger. Some cat litter containers as well, but you probably don't have cats. Plastic buckets are labeled as HDPE but they're a completely different viscosity so they wear away much faster. Or at least I assume they would. I also recommend fabric scissors for cutting plastic. Just separate them from actual use fabric scissors or seamstresses will materialize out of thin air and stab you with them. Crap, I think I told you some of this before. Anyway I had an idea while watching. I know absolutely nothing about milling so it's just a thought. Could you make a floating rail for when the log gets down to a certain size? I don't know if you do this enough to where you would have a little milling station, but it might make those subsequent cuts a lot easier.

I appreciated your no nonsense approach at the beginning. Get r done buddy. BTW - I saw these guys in talented chainsaw guys in Africa cutting planks free hand out of a tree (padauk, I think) with a 5 foot diameter - slicing it up where it fell. The boards weren't perfect but very good for framing. Definitely more than one way.

I've always enjoyed how you give us your thought process and updates as you learn more about how your idea/tool/creation works. Your conclusions are realistic which allows me to decide in the end if I think I can pull it off. Also it's just fun to see your ideas for things I probably will never need! Makes me want to make it just for the heck of it though :) Keep it up Pocket.

Very well done video. Interesting that you showed some methods that didn’t work well for you. Much more interesting than to present it as the only way to do it. I have a granbergs beam machine which I haven’t had the time to experiment with but intend to do soon. I have recently bought some Oregon RO ripping chain and installed it on a poulan wood shark. I intend to try milling some pine. Your video has been very helpful

I love it. It is so basic and doable. I will be working with pine. I want to try it myself. Once I get some slabs out, I will let the table saw and plainer clean it up. Thanks!!!!
