[@silence-humility-calmness]

Idea for your next video: set up leveled jig above log ,now instead of having to readjust for each cut you can just move the 2x4 runner to other side and do 2 cuts for for one log turn ,also no need to level jig for each cut, just side to side adjustments, if your gonna build a cabin I think this idea will cut down the adjusting time to a 5th

[@mattblank4402]

The only thing i would be worried about is kickback you are standing right infront of the blade pushing it down so if you hit something and that would be pretty bad.

[@xpowertripx]

Two things I like about this guy. 1) He wears chainsaw chaps and PPE. 2). He understands the importance of the first cut. My first few days with the TMW-56 I struggled hard and ended up with 4 beams, none of which were square on either end. Starting on level ground with a level saw horses really helps. IRL it's not this easy but although he sped up this video in many places from real time he mentions key elements about the importance of the 1st cut, keeping things square, ripping chains, leveling things, starting from the small end. The devil is in the details. Thumbs up! You get what you put into the TMW-56.

[@killenmyful]

This would be great for trail maintenance folks building small bridges and such out in the bush. Beats dragging a full size alaskan setup out there.

[@montebarnes8043]

That’s great way of looking at

[@willierants5880]

Don't forget with this mill jig it's mandatory you bring a 2x6 in whatever length you are cutting at, but if you need that for both setups then it's a wash I guess.

[@ShepardKammander]

@@willierants5880 Technically you could make a mobile rig with a series of ~6' chunks of 2"x6" that interlock with dovetails to keep strait. Pre-drill some holes and screw each one down after it's laid out with a single screw per side and you've got a mobile mill that will fit in any Truck/SUV

[@kadmow]

Yes it is cheap and seems simple enough to use, but there is still a downside, the whole thing doesn't really fit in your pocket... You still need the piece of lumber (full length) to use as a guide, and putting screws into the timber doesn't leave the sides in perfect condition (ok easy to add an inch for "fixing".) to get the cuts happening.... For Rough Bush "lumber" who ever forgot that one can rip logs freehand with a chainsaw... (mark out with a string-line and pencil.).. It's in the bush nobody is going to notice your cuts once the green wood warps to heck and back. lol...

[@killenmyful]

@@kadmow Thats true you do need the 2x4. If it is an extended project maybe doing 1 piece carefully by eye then you have the jig to finish. Here in NY Ive noticed they primarily use cedar for structures out in the Adirondack trail system and that seems to hold up for a long time even when constructed green. Unless your hauling material 20+ miles on trails that are not navigable by any motor vehicle you dont really have any other choice.

[@johnschilstra5902]

I used one of those 20 years ago to cut a ton of hardwood lumber in the woods. It was sold by woodcraft and called a haddon lumbermaker. Was maybe 60 bucks then. Used my 029 super and a few different length bars to do the sawing and a straight 2x4 - very cheap way to make accurate lumber back when I didn't have much coin! Thanks for the great demo!

[@uekiguy5886]

When you write "lumber", do you mean you slabbed boards and not just beams? I'm trying to envision it. The first couple of boards would be done the same way, but with each slab, as the runner board gets moved over, eventually there would not be enough surface for the runner board to rest on. Do you have any tips? Thank you.

[@kennethgarza1386]

Prep is key, making sure you really finesse the cuts to be as close to your markers help a lot. Being able to use a cheap saw mill shows that’s it’s more important to have more knowledge to be able to use any tool at your disposal for projects.

I had moved to the Sierras and learned to cut, fell and split my own firewood. Now at 58, with nerve and back injuries, my husband bought me an 18 inch Stihl MS 250 for my birthday back in January. Right after getting our trees worked on by professionals 😕. I finally have a project going that I will use it for almost 3 months later. But now I want to get me some logs to mill!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Those are great, I think they are called "Beam Chainsaw Mills" as they are made for exactly what you did, milling up a beam. I made one myself years ago to edge slabs that I cut using my shop made Alaskan style mill. The fact is for making beams, they are great, but for slabbing up a big log into boards, they are only OK, an Alaskan Chainsaw Mill is much easier to use and you get better consistency for board thickness. For $20 it should be in all of our tool kits. Cheers from Tokyo!

This looks really amazing, but I would wonder at some point since you have to screw the lumber to the log or in this case the squared off post. You would not be able to make that into lumber because it’s some point you would have nothing to screw off to, does that make sense? Or am I thinking too hard?

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

@@dprevish100 I *think* when you get down to only a 4" wide surface for the guide board, you could either flip the timber 90 degrees to split it again if it's wide enough, or *possibly* you could drill the side of the guide so you can screw a 2" wooden spacer inside it and run it on a 2" wide guide board to get that last cut. But that might be wobbly/unsafe? I think I would just cut as many boards as I could normally and be left with one 4" wide beam.

[@FLPhotoCatcher]

Cool. I know it's a lot slower than a good bandsaw mill, like a Wood-Mizer. I know a Wood-Mizer sawmill is not cheap, but it may pay for itself over a few years. Also, Wood-Mizer is a Christian owned company, while Timber Tuff is owned by Husqvarna, and TT has stuff generally made in China...

Thanks Wranglerstar, I was curious about these. Baileys and a local miller both say a milling chain is slower, but sometimes gives a more finished cut. He preferred a skip tooth chain. Seems like you should have made the 2nd cut using the supports you already had in place from the 1st, resetting the 2x6 and cutting the opposite direction. If doing this a lot, make a spacer to set up the offset for the cut.

[@thereasonableamericans411]

It depends greatly on the type of wood in regards to using a ripping chain. The finish is the main difference seen across all types though, for whatever that may or may not be worth to you. I concur though, often times, hardly worth the time spent changing out the chain. Thanks for taking the time to review this. I was curious how they performed. For folks working in a pinch, it's nice to know what the options are.

[@addictedtobedrock5282]

With thousands of board feet of lumber under my belt with an Alaskan sawmill running a Stihl 090, a ripping chain cuts faster and given a smoother cut every time. The time it takes to change over the chain is minimal for a better outcome, in my opinion, when milling Douglas Fir, Port Orford Cedar and Black Oak.

[@olegil2]

With a couple of extra screws along the length of the 2x6 on top there, it should be possible to to make near perfectly straight beams even if the 2x6 is not perfect. Might be a good idea to spend those few extra minutes. All in all it seems like a very nice jig. Certainly can't argue with the price.

Love to see him try this with some of those newer electric battery saws like the EGO line. Wonder if you could use one of those to mill log this size. Be pretty sweet to have that and a set of solar for charging while working on a homestead.

[@nothin2pruv]

Been looking into this the past couple of days and one thing I came across was that if you angle your blade to just bite a few of the bottom corner teeth at a time your shavings are longer/ energy consumption is improved. Should be achievable by making an adjustable stand for the guide wood so that you can adjust the height of the guide to adjust the depth of the cut. Would imagine it would mean less sharpening as well. But way more (faster) cuts

[@mfk12340]

In my personal opinion, the battery saws are a little too dangerous for this. The have too much torque, and can't be stopped by chainsaw chaps.

Oh what a great video and review! I have been wanting something to mill here and there and didn't even realize something like this was even a possibilty to use. For sure I was figuring I would need to drop AT LEAST a couple hundred to get into something small. Man, thanks for the video Cody!

[@jacobdavis1470]

That was my thought. Every now and again I need a few new posts on the farm. This thing is the way to go. Cheap. Simple. I've already ordered me one

[@baltsosser]

I've used that before. Really like how well it worked. The boards unfirtunately dudn't dry well. They cracked, split, and curled so badly they weren't usable. Still learning.

[@brianmozer3112]

Impressive. I have a bunch of dead ash trees (standing) that I want to mill but don’t have a sawmill or means to transport the logs. Excellent video

0:30 - my hat is off to you sir. That is one mighty fine chainsaw, in perfect condition.

"I can't believe my eyes, you made one hell of a cant with that little jig!"A bowed log, however, would be quite a challenge. Your log was straight as an arrow.

[@btrnsfrmr]

no chllnge as he indexed a mark on the log end with a mark on the lumber guide iI hope I did not misunderstand what you were saying?

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

The great working height on that set up and your chainsaw experience was helpful in your success.

[@myice-creamdreams3421]

I like your style brother super simple easy straight to the point kind and thoughtful and with no obnoxious music God bless you too sir!

[@carlzirk]

What a neat tool. Thanks for an experienced review. I wanted to blow dust off van after that.

[@OvertonWindex]

It's about time I found a "buy twice, cry twice" option for a mill.

[@OvertonWindex]

Turns out, it's a no cry situation... for that price, sold.

[@DK-jd8bj]

I've got one but I prefer my alaskian.

[@customwoodshiftknobs9322]

I picked this up after watching your video. Works well, easy. I made a couple floating slab shelves so far.

[@PhilipThompsonCanada]

We watch these videos because we recognize skills, knowledge and understanding - that we admire. More power to your elbow, sir.

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

I wondered how safe this thing is. Its performance is impressive.

[@nickwit21]

A chainsaw mill for $20. You've got my attention!

[@fr.languiaosdb7238]

this is very useful that now we are clearing trees fallen by the Typhoon Odette ... Thank you for this very helpful video

A little extra oil added on the chain as you go, doubles, at least the amount of cuts you can make between sharpenings, will reduce wear and chain stretch, and reduce sharpening to a couple strokes per tooth. Prolonged cutting dries the chain, also turn up your auto oiler to reduce friction. Makes a huge difference.

That 460/461 Stihl is a BEAST. Funny how some folks don't seem to know about Stihls odd/even number system and how they generally corelate to being even for 'pros' and odd for 'homeowner' versions, i.e.- A Stihl 390 is a much more 'tame' saw than the say 360, etc. Same for chains, yellow link chains are much more aggressive than the green link, which are 'safer' and being a 'low kickback' type chain. Thanks for the review!!!

[@robertpolkamp]

Now you can finish the log home project you abandoned 8-10 years ago.

[@Cocofish1775]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you for the review - will definitely be trying this this weekend.
