The time and effort is well worth it today.. the cost of lumber now a days for simple little projects is absolutely crazy. Thinking of getting myself a simple little rig for my saw.

[@Mr.SuperDuper-idk]

Yes 👍 Fk paying these prices I’ll be milling my own timber beams for carports etc on property. May have to buy Sheetmetal roofing but I’m ok with that.

[@vitalsigncompany]

You just convinced me to try my mill. I’ve had it for 3 years in my shop never used it. Love your efforts. Great job

[@wheelinken]

Awesome! Thank you

[@jacksmith2315]

I hope you havent been buying lumber in the last 3 years you've had your mill. W the prices of lumber and the quality from the stores while you could have been making it yourself far better quality

[@wheelinken]

@@jacksmith2315 yup, still haven't bought a single board! Lumber pile getting a bit small though....

Yep I just learned how to use it , I was thinking how to align the saw , and the use of ladder I think is a good solution , also the lubrication of chain is a good one. Thanks for the video.

[@Cuebo01]

What kind of lubrication did you use? Was the lubrication added to a specific attachment of the sawmill?

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

Nice work bro! Those boards look absolutely spot on. Keep it up

[@wheelinken]

Thank you!

[@Wedget]

Love your channel mate, I have 3 different size Alaskan mills and in my opinion they are the only way to cut boards accurately every time with the advantage of still being 100% portable while maintaining accuracy with the bar tip being supported, and the physical workout is very rewarding. You do not need to cut a lot of board feet to cover the cost of an Alaskan mill, well done👍👍

[@wheelinken]

Thanks very much!

[@jacksmith2315]

And you get way better lumber than youll ever get at lowes home depot. Even a lot lf the lumber yards arent as good as they used to be

Just lining up to order an Alaskan Mill. My saw is a Husky 385XP, and that tractor looks a lot like my Massey 204. Now to shop for a good 36” bar and a ripping chain or two…

[@wheelinken]

Awesome! Yes, my tractor is a 202, basically the same. The Alaskan, husky and massey will hopefully get ya a bunch of lumber :) they do for me!

[@lanedexter6303]

@@wheelinken 👍yep, if memory serves, 202 is gas & standard trans, 204 gas & ReversOmatic, 203 is diesel standard, and 205 is diesel ReversOmatic. I have my “sliding kingpost” backhoe, but it was separated when I got the tractor. That will be a restoration project. 😁 Have a wood lot where we did some selective logging in 2016, and figure the Alaskan mill should be just the ticket for when we need a few boards for a shed or something. I picked up a planer the other day, so that should just about do it..

[@wheelinken]

@@lanedexter6303 sounds about right to me. I also have a 204 for parts... would love to use the trans out of it. Maybe one day. Good luck with your milling!

[@snteevveetns]

Good video. I might need to do the same with the extra oil. My Stihl 362 oiler is wide open and not enough. Why don’t you use wedges?

Did you try to use woodchips to cover your yard in order to avoid mud and if it helped?

[@wheelinken]

I did try it will not help unless you put lots and lots down, and it wont last. I'd say for me putting wood chips down made things worse. I've since scrapped them all up.

[@modeyangua5047]

Excelente trabajo

[@bayview63]

Your oiler at the tip, is it just for extra oil on the bar? Does the saw not give you enough?

[@wheelinken]

Yes, for a little extra oil. The saw oiler is adjusted all the way but is barely adequate.

[@mr.smartypants3485]

You're living the dream dude, nice job on the lumber. I have one question though...Why don't you use a full or half skip chain? I switched to a half skip a few years ago, and I'll never go back to a regular chain, unless I'm limbing or something where kickback may be an issue.. I think its a little easier on the saw, and maybe a little faster? Looking forward to hearing back from you, thanks.

[@wheelinken]

Thanks for the comment and that's a good question. I am currently using rip chain, but I have been considering trying a regular cross cut chain... semi or full skip, just so I have less teeth to sharpen. So, I dont really have an answer for ya. I haven't tried anything but my full house rip chain. I'll do a video for sure when I pickup some new chains to try.

[@mr.smartypants3485]

@@wheelinken I see...Your chips looked so small, I'd have never guessed you were using a skip. My chips are usually about 4 inches long, and it always looks like a birds nest under my saw, ha ha ha.. Be safe and keep up the good work, I'm a subscriber and looking forward to more videos.

[@wheelinken]

@@mr.smartypants3485 thanks, but you were correct I'm using a full house ripping chain ( no skip). 4 inch chips? Do you mill with a crosscut chain?

Do you use mystery oil for the chain drip lubricator?

[@wheelinken]

Bar/chain oil

[@jasonc6962]

Do you use a ripping chain? I do also but the cut speed is incredibly slow. And it's a new chain. Wondering if my bar is bad

[@wheelinken]

With a bad bar, youd probably have wandering and or binding in the cut. Yes, in this video I'm using a ripping chain. I have recently switched to a crosscut chain, and it definitely cuts faster, and there wasn't a noticable decrease in the smoothness of the cut. Remember to flip your bar once in awhile, dress it and keep a sharp chain. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@jasonc6962]

@@wheelinken binding sounds about what is happening. It's an older bar that I had sand contamination in it which caused it to wear badly and have sharp edges on the track. Just ordered a new bar.

[@wheelinken]

@@jasonc6962 you can dress the bar with a file or even a bench grinder if you setup a little jig. But it sounds like time for a new bar anyways. Good luck!

[@manorathsingh2041]

[@BeagleHunter]

What diameter was your log start with, how many 2x4’s did you get out of it and how long did it take? Looks really awesome. I’ve got 38 acres but most my big trees are 16 inch diameter. Just a handful 18 to 20 inch diameter.

[@wheelinken]

I took a couple days, kind of on and off. I was after 1" boards and I got like 30? Between 8 and 12 inches wide, the log was well over 36 inches in diameter but a lot went to waste (firewood). Smaller logs are faster but setup time is the real time suck. Kind of fun, but also hard work. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@leechowning2712]

Would a beam mill, the sort that ride a 2*6, make it so you could do 3 sides without needing to turn it? Fairly obvious that is the most time spent in setup. Use this to cut the top level, then put the beamrider on it and do the side cuts?

[@wheelinken]

yes, I've wanted to try and do exactly that, but those beam mills seem pretty jenky. Couldn't really hurt to try i suppose. I might just do that!

[@100jofa]

Hi, bro what is that red liquid wich are you usng for lub? Thx

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

What was the red liquid you used for lube

[@wheelinken]

Bar oil.

[@murrayturf9715]

Is it best to mill the timber dry or on the green side

[@wheelinken]

I've had some dry fir that was tough as nails to mill, some just fine. Overall a little green is easier but if you have good sharp chain it shouldn't matter too much.

[@anthonyman8008]

Would shimming both edges as you go help? What's the name and brand of little mill?

[@wheelinken]

It only seems to help if you have a hefty chunk of wood on the bar. It's an Alaskan chainsaw mill by Granberg.

[@32duckman]

It's the bar tip oiler your design or purchase

[@wheelinken]

That was all me lol. I've since changed to another diy oiler but this one isn't taped on haha.

[@MissionaryForMexico]

The jig you attached to chain saw, where can I purchase this device?

[@wheelinken]

[@wheelinken]

Mine is a granberg brand Alaskan mill. Google granberg chainsaw mill or check your local saw shop. 👍

[@alegator7249]

A longer choker, along with proper placement of the chokeknot and the log will roll itself.

Definitely! I've had a lot of practice and do it that way these days.

[@wizardind3203]

LOVE IT MILL IS JUST TOO SIMPLE did you make it? how long is the saw bar?

Thanks, no I didnt make it... it's a granberg brand. 36" bar on a 385xp

[@hvanhemp]

may i ask why you hose the log?

[@wheelinken]

to get rid of excess dirt and rocks which dull the chain faster

How do I get into this as a business? With this pandemic working in peoples house isnt working out.

[@wheelinken]

Band saw mill and access to wood. People around where I live will bring the mill to your place and mill your logs for a fee. I've also heard of splitting the lumber 50/50. But a good band mill is pretty expensive. You might be able to do some small scale stuff with a chainsaw mill, but it's going to be really hard work. You can make a chainsaw mill attachment but I bought a granberg. Google it up and good luck!!

[@pouguangreipanmei8974]

Where can I get the meterials like ladder or else which include here?

[@wheelinken]

You can buy a ladder at any hardware store, chainsaw and supplies at a chainsaw shop or dealer and the mill can be found on the granberg website or saw shop. Google granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill.
