Nice video mate, just curious was the ladder wide enough to easily balance your mill or would you suggest maybe rails aligned at a wider distance, love your work👍👍
Blaise - keep up the good work here. Very interesting. I"m releasing my first project video on my channel very soon. I show how I did the Porsche sign on the CNC machine.
Are these the slabs that copped for sticker stains?, I have heard it said that cutting stickers from the same species reduces the chances of sticker stain, I don't know if its good info though, beautiful looking wood does it have an aroma to it, I visited a sandalwood mill in Rajasthan India and you could smell it half a mile away
Hi mate, Yes I have heard that too, I use pine I have had it where it soaks a bit of the colour out of the wood but after sanding you can't see it. The smell is great like you say, great to have you on the channel bud. Blaise
I had one set up like that with only the one saw and the log in question was in the woods on a slope. I figured to not be on the downhill side of things and the upper side where I needed to be was blocked so I couldn't go that way. So on the low side and push the saw up the log I go. I used wedges and such but this I never expected. I got within about five or six inches from the end and not paying attention to all detail. All the sudden it split off and come down sliding to the low end. I tucked and rolled up to the bottom of the tree I was cutting on and it slide harmlessly over me to the ground below. After that, I never took my eyes off a cut. I almost got religion over that one!!!/LOL
Terrific series on using the mill; very good pointers on the process, thanks for posting!
👍🏼 those twin 880's are just sick! Well done man!
How does this video not have 6 million views??? That is incredible! Every part of it!
Northwest Sawyer thanks bud means a lot. Blaise
Very nice! I know milling is hard enough and appreciate the camera work for all to enjoy!!
Thanks mate means a lot to get nice comments.
Well done! Looks like some amazing slabs.
Crazy. Log so big you can't see each other. Lol.
Good show men.
Beautiful slabs of wood. Great job.
Thanks bro!
Now that's a big piece of wood! Kind of makes you feel insignificant doesn't it? Great job, those slabs a nice :-)
Sure does mate glad I could save it. Cheers Blaisey

Would love to have some red wood here in new Zealand
Great tree. Just a note that Sequoia wan't introuduced to England until 1853
Awesome work!!! I have never seen anything like it. I would love to mill a slab on my CNC.
Mate I dream of CNC!! I found you on reddit, thanks Blaise

Where did you get the extra long upright bars for your Alaskan mill? Can they be ordered from somewhere or did you fabricate them yourself?
Hi mate yes Gransberg make them I got them from the Uk dealer but I'm sure there available elsewhere. Cheers Blaisey
Why is it that the sawdust really only come out of one side when it's a double engine mill?
There's only one chain traveling in a circle hence the sawdust only coming out one side
How do you dry slabs that size and how do you stop them cupping and twisting?
I air dry them for about 2 years then keep them in a dry ban for 6 months. Cheers
@@BlaiseBrogan thanks very useful
Am I wrong or is the cut at 10:07 blowing sawdust instead of nice ripcut noodles?
Yes your right because we’re gutting end grain not side grain. I hope that makes sense? Cheers

First time I saw twin powered chain saw! Must have to run them the same speed?
Always run the saw at WOT when cutting.
Круто . Где приобретали такую пилу и шину?
Nice work!
Were those 12/4 slabs? Hard to see detail on my phone but it looks like a damn good investment in time and £’s
Amazing
greate viedeo ! perfekt
Thanks Mate!! Blaisey
Ah mate I didn't know it was you I have watched all your videos, Great lathe! I love the stuff you make Thanks Blaise
Blaise, did you use a regular ripping chain here or a skip tooth? Thank you.
Love this video 📹 😀👍
👍
Thanks mate great to have you here.
How wide they end up? Nice looking log.
They were over 1700mm cheers bud
R you running 2 ms880’s?

Well done - top man
Thanks mate great to have you here! Blaise
Why was it cut down?
It was unsafe where it was in the Uk. I saved it from being chipped to fuel a power station. Cheers
Instead of speeding up the wedge work, do it to the boring sawdust production.
Thanks for the feedback. Blaisey
Yep, that's how I watch cutting videos, at 2X and then I'm still hitting the FF button to get to the point.
Guess yo r
I really
? Thanks Im sure it was going to say something nice. Cheers Blaise
