Milling a Cedar Log Sauna: Planning your Cuts!

We're milling Eastern White Cedar timbers for a square log sauna! The logs will be milled to 4" thick and various heights, and then a rounded profile will be molded on the logs. In this video I provide a few tips on maximizing your timber sizes when chainsaw milling with the Logosol.
The mill is a Logosol F2, the saw is a Stihl MS661.

[@greensnapper1602]

Always a good video from you 2.. Hope everything is going well for you.. Cant Wait to see the new tool

[@michaelschmitt2605]

Wieder ein tolles Video von euch. Ich bin gespannt, wie das neue Werkzeug funktioniert und wie ihr die Sauna baut. Weiter so.

[@lukassvensson3101]

Love your videos! How often do you sharpen the chain?

[@alexconsidine4409]

Definitely interesting topic of water cooling the bar, I tried this with my Alaskan mill and noticed it ran much cooler and the dust/ heat build up was greatly reduced. Still working out some ideas. Your thoughts??

[@sammyquad]

Great videos guys. My F2 is coming next week. Might be a silly question, but what do you guys do with all the sawdust? Any use for it? Thanks.

[@lureofthenorth]

We use it to fill holes in our trails. It packs up dense, but a layer of wood chips over top would be ideal.

Looking forward to seeing the moulding attachment. Question I see that you aren't using the nose bar clamp ? Or the hand winch

[@lureofthenorth]

The bar nose steering was interfering with some of the larger logs, but I do think it increases accuracy and will put it back on. The winch I've found myself using less lately... Find it just as fast and easy to push the saw.

[@cliftonsnider1520]

Thanks Myles you took the words right out of my mouth.

[@jontaylor1316]

Why did you go with the F2 and not the F2 Plus?

[@canajian]

hey, saw you in an old happy camper video thought I should come and check ya's out 👋😎👍

[@williamproctor8614]

Excellent video thinking about buying a logosol. Do you get commission or anything? Want to buy through right channel.

[@lureofthenorth]

I appreciate that! I don't get commission, but did receive a discount on the moulder. It wouldn't hurt to mention that you watched my videos, in case I'm looking for other products in the future :)

[@Stihl4life]

Water cooling system worth it? Apparently I don't know how to use a hard nose bar lol. What is the secret to not overheating the tip?. 🤘 with your vidjas

[@lureofthenorth]

I think it definitely helps. I find the nose of the bar gets really hot even with it though. I'll often splash extra water on the bar between cuts, and keep the chain looser than I would for non-milling work.

[@marktcso]

I have a F2+. I quit using the Stihl hard nose bar… toooo much friction. I replaced it with a bar with a replaceable tip. Not near as much chain stretching or heat.

[@navdoc8065]

What size chain saw do you use.

[@lureofthenorth]

I'm mostly using an MS661 (90cc) when cutting with the logosol, but for larger logs I will also mount my MS880 (120cc).

[@marktcso]

@@lureofthenorth Are you comfortable with using the 1/4 curf chain from Stihl when you use your 880?

[@chienhoangvlog3948]

Cái này nhiều tiền không nhỉ a

[@TheCanadianBeaver]

Keep following your nose Kielyn!

[@brosius85]
