This was the best wood cutting video I have seen on You Tube. I got into cutting trees on a ranch (dead hardwood trees) when I was about 60 years old, and found my greatest tranquility out there. Had I found out about cutting trees when I was much younger, I know I would have made it my life's work. You have a great life, and are quite a craftsman! Great job!

I saw lumber for a living. I press a foot lever to kick the log onto the carriage. I push a lever to run the log through the saw. I saw thousands of board feet a day. I sit in a chair, and drink coffee. Seeing this kind of old school work makes me happy.

+Maplehouse Knives and Bushcraft It is straight out of the Fine Woodworking book by Will Mallof. He shows this set-up, and some that are "better" . Mallof figured out how to stand at the end of the log and winch the saw to himself, his guide system is also really simple and easy it walks down the log on bolt heads. I don't know who originated the stacked black spacer system but it was in the book. www.amazon.com/Chainsaw-Lumbermaking-Will-Malloff/dp/1626548447

Julie, the interviewer has probably been following him as he cut long before this particular job. She's just asking the questions to pull out the words from the sawyer who otherwise would just go about his work silently. Yep, she knew all the right questions to draw out this man's technique. I had the feeling they were acquainted with each other in some fashion. I would have liked to see who was behind that feminine voice.

When I used to mill wood with my alaskan mill I always used a single section from a aluminum extension ladder and you can use long wood screws and plumbers tape with holes in it to secure the ladder section to the log and that makes a very nice stiff straight guide.

Thank you so much, Julie, for asking great questions and the great video. And thank you, David, for answering in such a way for a beginner to understand and showing so much. This might actually come in handy for me despite the fact I will never make such large pieces. The drying information and the boards shimming to keep from binding your blade are awesome! I have never seen that part of it. Nor the covering boards. I am so appreciative. Now I am glad I left that wood so long. I would have been so sad if the wood had been ruined because I did not process/stack it right and I would have been so frustrated with the blade getting pinched. That has happened before.

Great video! Like others, I can't imagine ever being in a position to do something like this, but it was still fascinating. However -- some years ago I did buy a rail of some sort that I attached to my plain old circular saw in order to cut a long straight piece for some reason. I have very little experience working with wood but I managed to get this to work. Kind of gave me a "poor man's table saw" for the one use I had. The principles it used remind me of what you did here, although on a microscopic scale of course. I live near the redwoods in northern California so it was especially interesting watching you deal with one of those beauties without a whole crew and mill, etc. Nicely done. Thanks for a great video.

Really nice and informative video and totally enjoyed it. Reminds me of a similar project I did (being a city boy) in a cabin I helped build in Maine. Made a 20ft cedar staircase (with 4 winders) using 5in wide stringers and 4in treads. The newel post was an amazing old old 18" or so wide cedar tree and hand mortising the joints for the winders. Just peeled the bark on the face of it and left it live. White wash stain and poly and looked fabulous. Somehow it ended up in a log home magazine not sure how. Anyways, wooden dowels and tenon joints and not a single screw or bolts used. Oh...almost forgot why I started this comment. My neighbor down the way had a 52" circular mill with a big ass diesel engine that ran the blade and it is how I cut my slabs for the project. The cedar came out of a cedar swamp that was on the property. Really proud of myself (me being a city boy and all) and amazed at how it was done a looong time ago.

Wow! What a great video. That first cut through the length of the log came out right on the money! Beautiful!

Oddly enough that thought came to me too - the amount of time to make those cuts etc, but since he lives there I guess you could say that its a way of life too with the amount of cut wood he has.

+George Rivera the video is 30 minutes mate, and it is edited to be shorter. It would have taken him a couple hours to cut that one piece, setting and measuring everything up. so 40+ pieces is a lot of work

I am an indigenous person of the States and I grew up with grandparents who went out and cut their own wood in their 70s... I use to stack it and split the rounds. I miss the sound of the chainsaw and smell...I’m now almost 60 yrs old myself. God Bless this man and His love in making something by his own hands. Awesome 🤔🔑🙇🏻‍♀️💕

You inspired me to buy my own 60cc chainsaw and start milling my own lumber from the chestnut oak trees on our property. Props for inspiring me to do what seemed like the impossible several months ago. Although i will say, i wish i bought electric chainsaw grinding sharpener when i bought the saw, because i spend HOURS trying to learn how to sharpen right and never got it even with a file angle guide. As soon as i bought the sharpener my chain was factory sharp going into every slab cut.

I love the video, it's very informative and the cameraperson's questions are timely and appropriate. As someone who works in manufacturing it makes me cringe to watch someone use heavy machinery without PPE (chainsaw protective clothing) but I appreciate these folks sharing this technique to the world.

Innoculous I used to say the same thing. “Man that be cool but I’ll never do it” screw that, work hard and go get what you want. This year I bought a house in the woods on some land and a stihl 660 magnum and a stihl 390. Last week I just ordered my Alaskan mill and I’m gunna do it. I’m going to build my own barn. Knowing damn well I’m going to make some mistakes but when it’s done and ironed out I’ll be able to stand back and have a beer and say “damn I did it”.

kpeezle, would you do us all a favor and start your own channel? It's hard to find good content, presented in an entertaining but professional manner. So many of us have that dream, but for one thing or another, we just can't make it happen. If we get to watch you, we can share in your fun! David fits this category, but he can only make so many videos a day - lol! Lemme know, I'll be your first sub! Deal? Please???
