GRANBERG Alaskan chainsaw mill | The real deal with this thing!

#chainsawmill #granberg #alaskanmill
In this video I assemble the Granberg small log chainsaw mill. I also assemble a first cut rail system from Amazon and grind my own ripping chain with a budget chain grinder. A chain saw mill is the perfect solution to high lumber prices if you have projects to complete. I am lookin forward to using this chainsaw mill to make all the lumber that I need for those outdoor buildings and projects that I have I have been putting off due to absurd lumber prices that we currently have to deal with in the United States.

As far as that " Swoop " at the beginning and end of the cut. I have evolved into cutting the log 6" or 12" longer and just trim the ends afterwards. The " Swoop " is hard to avoid for some reason.

[@michaelsamuel7812]

You grind that hard or long the teeth go blue and blunt in mins

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Very awesome! We bought an Alaskan mill for chainsaws, but have not used it yet. Money in your pocket! Woohoo

[@MakersMovementDIY]

For sure, and it let's us use the dead trees. We don't have a wood stove so it all just rots on the ground.

[@duanebeyer950]

Love that the dog is doing some cleanup for you at 13:59. This was a very helpful video. thanks.

[@heathboeddeker5401]

You know I will be here Mr. Dave. Suggestion to prevent the swoop at the end keep the logs longer until you mill them then trim to length Sir .

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Good tip Heath. 👌

[@joesinakandid528]

Right down the road from you - Blanchard. Just (finally) decided to get the G777 this winter. Joe S

[@jeep4ron]

Always nice to unbox something new. Your going to have lots of fun with that.🙏

[@MakersMovementDIY]

I sure hope so. 😊

[@ncdoc100]

Great video. As usual the chicken has to put in their two cents🤣

[@MakersMovementDIY]

The rooster battles back and forth with the neighbors rooster, it is 24-7

[@Calchick7]

Why didn’t you use ATV to haul the logs in? You’re gonna mess your back up Dave! Enjoyed watching as always😎👍

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Ground is soft right now, didn't want to rut up the yard dragging logs. In the future I can mill them where they fall.

[@KoalityofLife]

How do you like the MS310? I just traded for an older one with a 24 inch bar. Haven't had a chance to use it yet. :)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

I think it's the perfect size for most farm work. I have about six other Stihl saws (0 series) but thay all need to be worked on. Neighbor gave them to me because he was decluttering.

[@KoalityofLife]

@@MakersMovementDIY Nice, I have another Stihl MS261C with a 20 inch bar but would like to get something with a 30 inch bar for around the property, just need to trade around a little to get it. )

[@MakersMovementDIY]

@@KoalityofLife I'm sure it's out there waiting for you to find it.

[@KoalityofLife]

Ummm. That's a rooster not a chicken. Just sayin. :)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Prove it

[@sandravanlankvelt6537]

Love that chickens timing LOLOL. The Alaskan chainsaw mill is awesome. I saw your video on redoing Martin Johnson's fathers hammer it was gorgeous and a lot of work. Beautiful JOB and God's blessing to you and your wood projects.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Thank you.

[@themadleaf]

Looks like a good investment. I have been thinking of investing in one. Please keep us posted on your journey with it. Lumber prices are just stupid here considering I live within 300 km of a lumber mill. Spoke with one company and they are probably not going to cut logs this year. And there goes the price upwards again. Stay safe and healthy. 👍🍻

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Yea there are a few mills around here also but the lumber prices have tripled on most things.

[@justine4508]

If you use a full chisel chain it makes a smooth enough cut and it's faster. I use my 660 with a full chisel cross cut chain and it looks the same as my bandmill, the semi chisel chains make a washboard look I have found

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Good tip, I'll try it out. But now I have a bandsaw mill also so this will only be used for field work or logs that won't fit on the mill.

[@mickeymousemattgregoryakaw6364]

OOPS ... MY BAD ... HE SELLING THE LITTLE MILL WHAT A BEAUTY ...

[@SunfireWoods]

A chainsaw mill is on my tool list to acquire. I've seen a number of videos where shims are stuck in right behind the saw before it exits the log cut, reduces the wain at the end of the cut.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

I used shims on the length of the cut but I didn't think about doing it just at the end. Good idea, thanks.

[@KuzweKanfarms]

Great video! I have one of these in the box for extra big trees nice to see it in action. Life will never be the same! Lol

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Nice, this is one of the smaller ones but they all work about the same.

[@Chevrolet1994]

Cool video Dave! That doesn't look like one of your knives you used to open the box....

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Naw, it's a CRKT that I found on a stalk lane in sniper school. Many moons ago. 🌙

[@bruceadonnelly69]

have the same setup, just got the Harbor freight sharpener today!! Great video! TY

[@MakersMovementDIY]

I have that and I love it. I also hook up my neighbors, it never hurts to be useful. Haha.

[@KoalityofLife]

Pretty soon you will have a sawmill scrap pile the size of mine. lol :)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

The scraps go on the campfire pile

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Still seriously considering getting a harbor freight bandsaw mill also.

[@KoalityofLife]

@@MakersMovementDIY I haven't seen the HF sawmill in person but I know Stewart from Breaking Free Off Grid just bought a sawmill thats made by Norwood but its their less expensive line up. Can't remember the name of it but it's almost the same mill I have for a fraction of the price I paid. :)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

@@KoalityofLife I think laid back living got the HF model recently. I'll give them both some time to see what they think and use that to influence my decision.

[@KoalityofLife]

@@MakersMovementDIY Nice. I havent heard what they think of their mill. :)

[@teddyrascal6305]

I was thinking, yes I can do this, then he starts grinding the chain...

[@RobertJones-jv5cc]

I loved my mill and got a lot of great lumber out of it. It is tough on chains though but I would get mine sharpened for just a few bucks. The cost was worth it.

[@ejsocci2630]

They are awesome,

[@stoneinthefield1]

Great video. Im curious to know if you will get much warping or cupping? With the price of lumber who really cares though.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

The 1/2 " boards that I cut cupped but the would just be siding for an outdoor structure anyway.

[@stoneinthefield1]

@@MakersMovementDIY Cupping or not it is awesome to make your own lumber. It will be exciting to see what you do with it.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Yea, I'm pretty stoked to be able to put some of these dead trees to good use. 👍

[@grampawterry8957]

cool beans

[@moustachemike7128]

too cool

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Thanks man
