How to Build a Chainsaw Mill from Scratch
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 01. 2018
- Building your own chainsaw mill from scratch to accommodate your bar and powerhead is a great way to produce lumber from logs. Milling this way is a versatile and low cost entry point to logging and yields slabs and rough cut boards to your own dimensions.

Really enjoyed the video. Want to do one myself. For all the complainers here, if you don’t have all the gear, then go buy one. If you do have all the equipment like I do, then go ahead and enjoy the experience of making your own from someone who laid the process out from start to finish. I am sure there are many units out there for the buying, but there is nothing like using something you’ve made yourself.
Great job. For those people who think it took too many tools..... or time.....or too complex.....quit watching diy videos. Many tools or projects people build require a variety of tools and most of the time end up costing way more than what you can buy them for....from China. That’s not really the point. If you want the cheapest tool to do your mill work, by all means, go buy one. The author of this video didn’t say it was going to be cheaper or very quick to build. He decided to build his own quality tool and share his experience with those of us interested in watching. I appreciate the craftsmanship. And in the end, he’ll end up with a tool he can pass onto someone who hopefully will appreciate it. Again, great job pal. Don’t let the nay-sayers drag you down.
Shelby Mustang One of the best comments on DIY vids I saw in a long time. You'd think it's common sense but it really needs pointing out for some people.
Totally agree
Nice build, can't wait to see it in action. Thanks.
I like your voice. I think that sound is such an important part of making videos that many people don't appreciate.
Great build.
One recommendation I have is to look into a table for your band saw. I have one from swag off-road and love it.
Nice job, looks reliable .
We need more people like you 😉 in this world
Absolutely beautiful job man,like your methods of building achainssawmill.👍🥺 thanks for sharing your chanel.
i will follow your project to make it =) can't wait for all the good wood i have to cut into logs to make knife handles
Great job and thanks for sharing!
Fantastic job!
Good job! Keep on going! You are the best.
I agree, I may install the pully more center of the crank. Got a few projects to finish up, go get my cedar trees before I can build this. As soon I finish my trailer I'm going to do a video.
Nice build!
Well done.

How beautiful..
Happyness. been waiting for this one!
I'll have to remember this once I have every tool known to man 😁😁😆😆😂😂😭😭
And yeah you can't get much more complex than this!!
Ak asya fame caya
right i've just finnished my sandwich now i'm going to get my 10 grands worth off kit out and make one out off scrap!! lol and if you beleved that then you'd be right well after a coffee, nice video mate!!
Muchas gracias es el video mas claro que he visto muchos saludos
Vy nice job!
tnx for video!
You could use it for 'Chainsaw Limbo'. That'd probably be a pretty fun game.
Thank you ,will buy
Awesome👍👍👍
Wow, lots of tools to make one, I do like it but just ordered one off eBay for $70 shipped. Eager to try it out. Thanks for the vid!
well, you can build it just with an angle grinder and a welder, but 70 $ is a good price for it. i must build it cause here in italy it cost 200$ or more (and aslo cause i build almost all my tools=)
Yep, just because we can, doesn't mean we should.....adding up the materials in the build list is around $70 plus labor time and added loss of productivity and revenue from this diverted effort. Simple economics and having spent fourty years in manufacturing.
@@keithlucas6260 Keith Lucas but sometimes even if the shop one is cheap and ready to use it doesn't mean it is a good one. Making your own is for sure a lifetime durable tool, and also it will be easier to fix, since you made it. Every time i bought a cheap tool i had to modify something to make it better. Or simply you need something really specific. It isn't only a matter of money
Great Video! Interested in how it works, and if having the chainsaw on it's side for that long is a problem (or if you have to buy a certain kind) Keep 'em coming
Shouldn't be they are two stroke so the engine is lubricated with the gas and oil mix
You are better off to get a ripping chain for snoother cuts
Muchas gracias
Been waiting for this one :) That's great!
What's the best source of the 80/20, I've never used it myself but that stuff looks slick!
Jackman Works probably cheaper places to get it, but i got mine from McMaster. I liked that the extrusion profile has two flat sides.

Merv here from Australia. Hi very good information. Could not find the link to your building plans etc as I would like to make one. Thanks
Your mill labor worth $1,000, while a factory made alum. mill att. only cost $175, and happy to see you enjoy your labor of love......
Go for the bandsaw mill build!
I want to SOOO BAD!!!
Makercise You definitely can! It’s right up your alley!
I really enjoyed the video and your soothing voice over it’s perfect but man damn those brown slip on leather shoes brother, I wanna scream what are those lol 😆
You gotta make a video of you throwing them over your neighbours roof with giant catapult.
🤣
I will to have one of those mill
I know this is an old video but is there a chance you have dimensions like a blueprint or schematic for the build?
7:03 64’ or 65’ Chevelle??? Pretty cool. Great video I’m gonna start mine this weekend. Thanks!!!
hehe i'd have to go full on The Shining, to defend having a chainsaw in my apartment. Not saying I wouldn't love to own one.
With a bar that long what size motor are you using I definitely need a longer bar but I don't have an extremely serious chainsaw. I have a Craftsman and a Blue
Do you have any idea how I can cut slices of logs at the same with a chainsaw
Where did you get the slotted aluminum stock?
What size saw are you using do drive that monstrous bar?
I run a Huskavarna 395 XP with a 42" bar and the .404 "H64" micro chisel chain
Hi, I would like to know what is the name of this kind of saw that you use at 6:58, can you help me?
Hi my friend, thank you for teachng us and to share your experiencies!. One question : I have a 62 CC (Cubic centímeters)
China chainsaw Up to now is good, this chainsaw is enough for making wood planks with her? . Tankyou Bety much un avance!. Greeting and health for you and your country , from Córdoba, Argentina !
the type of chain does make a difference, if you get micro chisel with skip tooth then even a small chainsaw can pull a big bar
it comes down to howw much drag you have with how many teeth that are busy cutting and how aggressive are they cutting
You effectively convinced me to just go spend the $300
LOL!
Real shit man!
I git every thing for my mill that im gonna build for 130$ but ist for a 20 inch bar
Thanks for the video! What model of Stihl saw do you have to match that 34" bar?
Mark i have a ms391
@@Makercise any mods?
I need this but where will get
I haven't used a chainsaw mill before, but don't you have to put a different chain on it? Like a ripper chain?
John Harmon - Cold Creek Works for smooth cuts a ripping chain is best.

Love this. But when can i see more of the house?!!
A'Tasha Lynn kind of on hold. The termite damage repairs will be extensive enough that i feel salvalging the house is not a sound investment. 95% of the commenters on my last house update video agreed. Currently working on plan B but may not see updates soon.
Makercise oh wow. Thats sad. Goodluck
I have only one question how much does it weigh?
Tpdo rsta muy bueno . Sigan enseñando
A showcase of how many tools are needed to make a simple alaskan chainsaw mill.
Errr ... I made mine with a simple plywood offcut and 2 threaded rods. Cost : 0
Plywood board around 15cm wide, 50cm long. Plus a fistful of nuts and washers.
Gostei da invenção para motoserra...Sai Quanto para ser enviado para o Brasil
توضيح رائع
Fantástico
I would love to have the wench attachment on my mill 🤔
Brian Prusa was that wench to pull the saw down the log as it cuts? I had not seen that before !🤔
The longer the bar the less your saw will work. The shorty the blade the better. But have you a couple of different size bars and chains and you got something.
Question about the hardware that connects the Extrusion aluminum together. I found McMasters Web site but don't know the part number of the connection hardware. Please and thank you for that number.

Makercise thanks so much. Those are the only pieces I'm missing.
Can we order it online
How much did you spend on this project?
Qué precio tiene.vivo en Colombia
existe este aparelho no Brasil
For the ultimate chainsaw milling book, try Will Maloff's "Chainsaw Lumbermaking" ISBN 0-918804-12-4. Available secondhand at exorbitant prices, but free from Google books. I own a Granberg mill and the lumbermaker both. Takes a big saw to mill a big tree. The engine runs continuosly and takes a lot of abuse. But I made my woodshed with a Haddon lumbermarker and a Stihl 170 -- an entry level saw. I chose small logs and took it easy. For logs over 30 cm (12") you will need a much bigger saw, Stihl 600 series and a long bar such as you have.I like that crank mechanism, Granberg does not have one.
Kaha milega ye masin
So the upright?
Wow so many nay sayers. Go watch a unboxing video or an marketing ad for a tool. So many salty commenters saying it's cheaper or better to buy, I think somebody is just jealous of this guy's skills. It's doesn't take skill to buy tools you know ;)
Yup an i can get an alaskian lumber maker for 250 with the railing system but i was lookin for an inexpensive way to make one an not have all kinds of bs to do
Yeh doesn’t sound like building one is for you. Here are some alternatives you may want to consider. Affiliate links where I make money: Haddon Lumbermaker: amzn.to/2DpnTNV
Carmyra Mill: amzn.to/2DhilB7
Pyrrhic victory Mate? It's just cheaper to buy one right once you figure all your time and tools?
Probably couldn't get anyone to watch a video of him ordering one off Amazon, though?
An have to get ur video is good for those who got money burning a hole in there pocket an to waste but for most people they havent got 600 to blow on diy projects that require a bunch of tools an materials
Thinking to buy my self a mig welder
Is it OK to start with Chinese one?
Thanks
Bruce Johnson hit the nail on the head. Probably had the HF coupon for $89 when i got it.
Thanks
Hey makercise I purchased the plans but I havent been able to view them... what program should I download to access the files?
One of the files is a pdf. Use adobe acrobat reader to open the file. Accessing the model is a bit more complicated. Send me an email if you need more help.
@@Makercise thank you. I'm not very tech savvy but I love to build and fabricate. I figured it out after trying 3 different apps. I built one chainsaw mill from steel already for a small 20 in bar. I picked up an ms391 so now it's time to build an adjustable aluminum mill for both 34 and 42 inch bars so I can swap from my 045AV to my ms391. I'll run a 34 on the ms391 and a 42 on my 045AV. Your plans are a big help. Well worth the $7 thanks again.
In Taiwan. There is a basic material. The name is angle steel... It can be cut arbitrarily... Only screws are needed for combination... It saves the work and volume of welding.. You can try it.. She will bring you Surprised...
It has two types: iron and stainless steel.
is it for sale?
I am from India help me to get this portable chain mill
I can do everything but weld. I have a welder but not clue on how to use it. its tig/mig/stick.
Great respect, just thinking out loud. Don’t take this as a negative I think you created a lot of trouble for yourself by keeping your long bars twisted at a 45 degree angle
yea that one had me puzzles as well, i dont see a lot of benefit in having them 45, only a slight more weld surface (2x) and the V on the clamp end causing perfect vertical alignment, but other than that, no real benefit at all
Can you send me one set to Myanmar (Burma) please?

wounder how many times you said "upright"
This is for folks who have the skill set, tools and a love of building things, otherwise go to a lumber yard.
Me interesa cuanto cuesta soy de méxico
What size of chainsaw are u using?
MS391 with 34" bar.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Damn it now I want one but I have no use for it whatsoever.
Don't take this the wrong way, you've made yours perfectly well, and i'm sure it'll work just as good in time, but i've always thought that these machines should look much more like a cheese grater than the frame they are. Dunno. The fact that you can't keep the saw aimed at the ends is annoying to me.
What is the cost of the Fusion 360 software?
it's free for individuals and educational use
