Pro tip: (I used to be a Stihl equipment tech, I probably worked on 5000 saws). When you reinstall a bar and chain, put the chain on the bar, put the bar over the studs, then angle the bar off to the right until you can get the drivers into the drive sprocket and just pull the bar forward and will settle right onto the adjustment dog. Then just push the sprocket cover onto the studs and spin your bar nuts down by hand, lift the tip of the bar, make you final chain adjustment and tighten your bar nuts. It'll take about half the time and your chain adjustment will be much less likely to change after your first cut.
Thanks for the professional advice..I own 3 stihls [passed down from dad] ms660 ,064 and the mighty 076..i just started becoming proficient at operating them and have been wanting to develop a technique on quickly changing bars and chain...so thanks once again good sir for the pro tip 🙂
Can you show us newbies?
Make a video of this and msg me. Just to funnily understand.
@TheDlh69 cleaning and swapping out chains is easier to learn on a normal chainsaw with 12 to 18 inch bar and chain.
Knowledge will come naturally
yeah and SWITCH the damn thing OFF before working on the blade and NEVER starting a chainsaw freehand like shown here,
the dulled chain was a skip tooth design and in my milling experience I never found them to be any advantage....in fact I believe they cut slower. They might help if you don't have enough saw because it takes a lot of power to run a normal tooth chain. Same for the modified chain where there are a series of two teeth with the cutter heads trimmed off. All they do is slow down the cutting. They may produce a smoother cut but I was never disappointed with the surface with the standard chain set up. My lumber was cut to be milled to finish anyway so a real smooth surface was not important. I milled black walnut and maple, found that a normal chain with cutter head every other link with a beefy saw was the best approach. A tip for all the sawyers...I made up an auxilliary bar oil reservoir that mounts on the mill attachment. Bore a hole in the bar tip to allow oil to feed into the chain groove. This treats your chain, bar and drive sprocket well for heavy and hard cutting. Got this idea of added oil from a book written by Will Maloof, "Chainsaw Lumbermaking", he was a Canadian and knew how to getthe most out of chainsaws and milling.
You are absolutely right, CZcams has replaced TV for me and I greatly enjoy watching your channel.
Yep I don’t watch anything on regular tv any more either
Nicely done - he has a straightforward way of presenting, very personable, the sound is excellent rather than blown out by wind, efficient edits, numerous mini-lessons and hints distributed throughout, good visuals, mostly great viewing angles and commentary; EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Trees felled in the winter have most of the sap below ground. It saves your chain/bar from getting junked with sap. IF possible - fell the tree in cold weather.
Then mill when warm. :-)
I love that you include things like the oversight and having to change the chain. It's an important part of any new process that everyone should know.
Good to know, thanks
Your right CZcams has largely taken over my tv watching. I enjoy the 20 min+ videos. I think the 30 min tv shows without commercials is about 22 minutes! Thanks for the longer video!
I've been watching your channel for about a week now and there is so much knowledge here that it amazes me, i'm 19 (soon to be 20) and all i want to do is to live in a beautiful home, and in such a beautiful place as you do. Even though you say that your not an expert with a lot of the things that you do, you still have an incredible amount of knowledge on a very broad range of subjects, and in my opinion its better to know a little about a lot, than to know a lot about a little.
also i checked out the Wranglerstar store and i'm glad you put up all your wonderful tools, because needless to say, i want them all, especially the chainsaw and the chainsaw mill, the idea of milling your own lumber amazes me and i hope to do it one day
That would be a double fisherman knot and thank you very much for the complement Cody, made my day!!!
Double uni knot. Used when tying two separate ends of cordage together. Typically used in fly fishing when tying a lead line to your weighted line. But usable in multiple other scenarios as well. Keep up the great videos wranglerstar family! You guys are great !
I’ve called it double fisherman back to back or double stopper
@@johnkeppeler6291 my dad taught it to me as the "fisherman's splice"
Looks like I'm going to have to make some more of these TOOL ROLLS! Thanks wranglerstar for the promo, looks like your tool roll has gotten some serious use!!
I want one!
Make that 4, cause I want three of them!!!!
I need 4 please !
I need one. Might need more than one. Let me know.
let me know when you make them PLEASE : )
Hey Cody enjoyed the video. I also agree that CZcams is replacing tv at least for me anyway. Your channel was the first one I started watching and it's had a huge impact on my life. Looking forward to more kitchen remodeling .
You indeed did share the story of the first time you saw a chain saw mill.
The knot you used is known to me as a double overhand stopper knot. I use it for making the short prusik lines for tree climbing. Two of those on a rope can get you in and out of a tree. Not the fastest way, but it works.
The next Wranglerstar mailbox is going to be huge!
I have the same guide system if you need it to be longer but you can actually do is loosen up the short support bars from the long slide bars then slide the long slide bars farther down and move the first support far to the next location and you can slowly move the entire support system down an entire log I have done 24 foot cuts with a single 8 foot section
Recycled firefighter still makes the tool roll, wallets and all kinds of sweet gear! I bought 4 tool rolls. They’re amazing.
I love seeing videos like this where you showcase a tool that solves a problem I didn't know existed. Very nifty!
First comment I've made in years on anything, I love how you messed up big time and then rolled with it to a chain replacement video 11:09
Boy that slab at 17:20 all I can imagine is a beautiful live edge mantle.
That is a double uni knot. Loving the longer videos! Thanks!
Manly manners. That is so darn cute 😏 a woodworking woman enjoys and is silent 😜
Love that fire hose tool roll. Nicely processed, quite sturdy, and upcycled. I hope RecycledFirefighter will have a lot of inquiries.
I made mine from leather which was residual material from an upholstery project, one for my chisels and another one for files and spanners and so . I love the idea of "Do what you like, use what you have". If I didn't have these I would probably order one of those firehose treasures.
It's fun to watch you working and enjoying it, and it is good to see how you appreciate and value everything you touch.
Best daily soap ever, thank you for sharing. Take care!
My Brother bought one of these and we are processing a huge pine right now, it is three and a half feet in the centre. That is really big for here eastern New Brunswick Canada. The system is really smooth
Would it be easier to get started with your chainsaw mill if you let the rails hang over log a little?
I immediately said the same thing out loud. weeh smarht peapuhl.
Good job, one trick I learned working in lumber mills.
Keep a spray bottle with diesel in it.
Spray your chain with it between cuts . It will help keep the pitch from sticking to you saws blades or chain, this will also lengthen the service life between sharpening and lubricates.
I agree. The 20ish plus minute length is nice. And definitely a trend that CZcams is replacing more traditional media sources for entertainments such as tv. Keep up the good work. You're one of my favorite channels.
Blood knot aka barrel knot?
Double Fisherman's knot (Barrel knot)
I watch your videos all the time in Scranton PA
Keep ya an oil squirt bottle with some MarvelMystery Oil for pitchy trees. Also, if it wasn't mentioned... run the flat blade from the CS tool in the bars groove and pick up a grease gun made for lubing the sprocket tip. As you mentioned Cody, Yellow/Pro bars of any substantial legnth are VERY pricy, so good maintenance is key! Good to watch an 'oldie' haha, shows how much things change, yet stay the same. Peace and ML to you, the Mrs., and kids
16:23 can't say I'm usually that guy but I don't think you'd find me tugging on a chainsaw chain whilst the motor's still running.
chazphot chain brake
@@sirtheodorethelll633 Yeah dude relax, the safety is on.
Who else saw that mishap coming? I was like..."um ..how is the blade gonna get past that dog at that depth?"
The 1 at 10:16
So you are really schmart then ,you would've sawed right around the dogleg....
😄
love the new time on the videos! great video and loving the content lately.
Thank you for showing the boo boo at 10:16 so I didn't make the same mistake, much appreciated. I did my first cuts with a chainsaw mill today and did double and triple checks, that stuck in my head big time. It's easy to see how that can happen, especially with uneven logs. But everything went great and the Granberg system works amazing once you get the hang of setting it up.
Cody looks like a double fisherman knot
Double fisherman's knot on the scrench
I love your videos. As an arborist, with 25 years of experience, when you checked the chain tension with the saw on, even with the chain brake on, I cringed. You will loose your fingers one day when you forget to apply the brake. So please, please shut the saw off when adjusting or messing with bar. I want you to be able to make these awesome videos.
I just love to watch your videos. You really give yourself in doing so. Please keep them coming.
From a Canadian friend.
thats a sailors knot ,if im not mistaken
The knot in German is called: Spierenstich
As always I learn something from you in almost every video. Nice work.
Just had to order one of the recycled firefighter wallets! Such a cool set of products! Thanks for the recommendation, Cody!
what are you going to do when the bolt is too close to the log to get your chainsaw wrench in there
I dont think it will ever fit.
The knot is a double fisherman's.
AKA a grapevine.
Looks like double uni-knot
Looks like a double slip/sliding know which is used when making bracelets from cord or leather so you can slide them to tighten around the wrist
agree/vouch that's a double fisherman's
Redmond Workshops, in the Fire / Rescue Service we call it a Water or Waterman’s Knot.
Thank you for showing the common sense of things, I have worked and lived in this world all my lfe. keep up the great work. your way of delivering the info is right on!!!
Awesome video Cody.. just bought a new milling attachment and am about break it in this week..so thank you for this informative and well presented vid🙂
Double Fisherman's Knot.
i used it for joining groundline when halibut fishing
Stone knives and bearskins. Is that a Star Trek reference?
maybe....

I guess I should've asked: "Did you mean that as a Star Trek reference." City on the Edge of Forever. I thought you were a TNG fan. You know your REAL Star Trek, too, eh?

Greetings and felicitations, fellow Trekkie.
Hi, thank you for an interesting video.
I was wondering what model Stihl chainsaw you use for your chainsaw milling?
I had to revisit this one. I've always wanted one, and finally about to get it lol. Good times aye
Double Fishermans' Knot
That looked like a blood knot. At least thats how i was taught. *scouts, in sweden. ;)*
Similar in look, not quite. Its a grapevine or double fisherman's knot. Im in scouts currently in the USA.
Im not a scout but I use it almost daily :-)
+Got2BGreat Gamer Can also be called a double barrel
Or a lovers knot
carrick hitch ?
good video! thanks for making it. wondering what u would recomend for cc chainsaw for milling hardwood 30 inch max
Thanks for the tips. I always wondered why people would mount the bar upside down and you answered that. Also did not know about cleaning the bar oil hole. I'm new to this though.
Looks like a fisherman's knot or blood knot.
double fisherman's knot
I hadn't realized exactly how old this vid was... til I saw Jack! Time flies... like the song says, Don't blink LOL. Thanks for the vid- Great product!
FISHERMAN'S KNOT! Thanks for putting this video together. I just purchased my Mark IV (it's in the mail!) and I had concerns about levelness. Cool to see the attachment. Fun channel full of life hacks.
I winced when I saw you check the chain tension with you fingers with the motor running. One little engine surge and your fingers are coyote nibbles. You're braver than me......
Not too bright no matter what!
He had the chain brake on, but growing up on saws before chain brakes were a thing, I can see where you’re coming from.
chain brakes can fail. and you may not realize it the moment it does. the brake band on my makita snapped, was using the saw for a little while before realizing the chain brake no longer worked. i've always made sure the idle was set properly so the chain didn't spin at idle
Not brave, just stupid
Yes, the chain brake was on. Sure chain brakes fail but roofs over peoples head collapse as well so best to always stay outside. Like a gun will not fire unless someone’s finger is on the trigger...engine isn’t gonna surge without a finger on the trigger of the chainsaw. Perhaps it’s best that you leave some things for others to handle in your place, John. I’m sure Cody appreciates the sentiment of worry but work needs to get done...not worry. God bless to you sir.
"Can you think of a more manlier tool than a chainsaw, a more useful tool pound per pound?"
A rifle.
Toffee hammer 💪
love the vid and the intro clip , i personally dont like longgg vids but this vid is worth it to get the pro's and cons thank you for sharing MR W
Double fisherman's knot. I saw below in the comments someone say that these knots are not used in a prusiks and/or rescue knot. I have seen these used for the initial loop that is then used as a prusik knot in numerous rescue rope configurations. I use them in both TRT and USAR rope operations for anchors, self minding prusiks, and 3 or 5 to 1 hauling systems in place of a Gibbs. Love your videos my friend been a long time subscriber. God bless you and yours Sir.
The knot is two half hitches. onteh oposite running end.
I've got a length of rope here, I did a set of half hitches on it, and it does look similar.
+dscrive this is s set of knots used to attach to cords together that can be tightened or used as a slip knot to adjust the length of cord. .
Looks like a double half hitch but its knot( no pun intended) its a double fisherman's knot.
Agreed your right. We used the term Half hitch, ther term double I was referring to two half hitches. Not together but colpleting the knot.
It's a triple constrictor with double twist :D
That's a double fisherman so knot
double barrel knot but it serves the same function
I tie a dozen or so of those loops with the double fisherman's knot or double barrel knot whichever you prefer to call them and then with the loop you can make a presicks knot.(I don't think that's the way to spell presicks knot???)
They work great on ridgelines and anything that you need to tighten up and keep from slipping. I started working for a tree service, the climber was using a presicks knot to repel down the tree..
Thanks for the vid, I enjoyed it. I am a city dweller but love to make things if I ever get the kit and the chance/space. Could you give any ideas/tips on planing/thicknessing boards without expensive equipment please? I have 3inchx9inchx10ft teak sawn boards I want to make a dining table from. I am UK expat in Thailand. Many thanks.
video idea: I have learned a lot about chain saws from your vids. I wonder if you could do a series on ground up saw maintenance for newbies. love your channel.
prusik knot. Fire rescue use this knot as well as climbers
the knot is a double fishermans, which is a knot used in the creation of a tied prusik loop.
+aludwig01 actually two simple fisherman's knot although you're right a double has four lines but, only has one "x", at least it's what I've been taught and I would agree it's a bit being too picky...
In the industry of commercial fishing, we call that a lobster knot, double barrel knot or jam knot
If I understand well what has been said about the name of this knot , you open a dictionnary, pick a word and you have the name of this knot....
definitely not a prusik knot, prusik is a friction hitch used by climbers and fire rescue. that is a double fishermans knot used to join two ropes to gather or create a loop
A Fishermans knot
Well seems how this is an old video. My correct answer will look nothing more than a mere copy of others! Lol. But yes, its a double fisherman's knot! I use it quite often! Even when I have a shoe lace break. Its helps get the job done till u reach the store. Lol I used to trim and climb trees professionally. Two other knots used to attach one rope to another. Are sheepsbend and a slippery sheepsbend. But those are used for tying a rope to the mid section of another rope. Double fisherman knot is nice for tying ropes end to end. Especially if u need a longer rope... Love the videos! Really relaxing to watch. Just a very humble and mellow approach to life. In I like that! If I could give any advice. It'd be to not allow Some of these internet trolls get to you! If u allow that to happen they win... Ur a great guy with a great family in I enjoy watching these video's. Thanks for the entertainment!
There is a tool on your stihl raker depth guage for cleaning the bar lube hole and the debris from the bar itself. I always check regularly as well to make sure the bar has no ridge on it from the chain wear and use my flat file to file it off. Terrific video
A more useful tool pound for pound...
Hmmm....
How about a teapot?
Hey. Give me a break, I am British.
Did you catch the Tom Scott video where he claims that british tanks are the best tanks? Because apparently they have a little thing to cook rations on board, which also means you can make a fresh cup of tea whenever you want, right in your tank!
I did not. But I have been inside a Challenger 2 and seen on. They call it a CV I believe and it was originally put in so that tank crew's did not need to leave the tank to make a cup of tea. These days it is intended for heating rations, how ever the hot water is also used to make tea.
Us Brits and our tea. I hear the Abram has a mini fridge for Beer and nacho dip.
Sounds about right.
I suppose if you carefully pour the hot water from the tea pot onto the log and repeat the process enough times, you might be able to erode the waste away and leave yourself a pristine timber. It'll take a long time, but you'll always be able to make tea, so it's got that advantage.
You sir have your priorities right👍
Double Fishermans
I know you've recommended the MS 260 in the past as a great go-to saw, would that recommendation still stand if you were going to be using it with the chainsaw mill often, or would you move up to a 441?
what a good feeling going back to watch old videos
Of coarse your going to cut the dog , when your depth set is only enough to debark the tree . Rookie .
Cut him some slack, guys. He's got a lot on his mind doing what he's doing. He's got to think about the camera and his presentation. Plus he's working that saw. It's easy to screw up when you've got that much going on. It's also easy to spot his mistakes when you're not doing anything else.
Seems like a huge waste of time and money. Why not just buy a proper bandsaw type mill?
Lots of money and not as portable.
budget. mrsw
The smile on Cody's face should explain that he enjoys bringing the tools to the wood, not the wood to the tool.
As mentioned - you are wrong. It costs more AND you would need additional equipment to move the gigantic log; and that equipment doesn't come cheap.
You've sold me. $10, 000 compared to about $350. What a deal!
It's only a deal if you plan on opening a small lumber mill business (and we haven't even mentioned permits, lawsuits by local tree-huggers, lawsuits by NON-local tree-huggers, etc). It makes no sense whatsoever if you are going to use it like Wranglerstar does. As pointed out above, you also need heavy equipment to move the log to the mill because a bandsaw mill is stationary, and the log is moved through it.
It's like saying to someone who's buying some hamburger, "Hey, you should raise you own steer for that."
if i ever become a millionaire im going to buy you the biggest fanciest portable mill ever just because of the time and effort you put into woodworking.you deserve it
I'll keep watching whether it's 10-20-30 min. Keep 'me coming!!
Another great video, we used the chainsaw mill alot back home....
I don't know how I came about your channel, but I'm glad I did. Always like your videos. Keep up the good work! Longer videos are better.
I still get a good laugh watching this guys videos , it’s like watching Larry , moe and curly all at the same time ,,,
Yosemite is a great place to see! One great piece of equipment!
Watching your video was entertaining. I've milled Bigger materials, with my 52"Granberg mill and a Stihl 090AV with a 60" bar. (20 plus years) First concept I learned, the HARD WAY, when milling, is to "center" the pith of the log. IE: When you follow the upper taper of the log, ya get cross-graining. Drying is a nightmare! Mill-on, Mill brother!
Ohh yeah, the knot is a double fisherman's or grapevine knot. Same knot!
What size chainsaw do you recommend for occasional milling work? My largest saw is a Husqvarna 455 Rancher, and I suspect that is way to light for typical milling.
Just found your channel
Thanks for the brilliant video

I do like the 15 to 20 minute videos compared to a 5 or 10 minute video. Like you said it has replaced tv for a lot of people and for me it is much better to watch your videos and a few others than watch what is on basic tv. Thanks for what you do!
love the longer videos keep up the good work buddy
You are indeed a wild-man. I admire your video's and I've seen many home-made chain saw mills. They are scary. The older I get the more I respect the chainsaw. I had one incident 10 years ago. Had I been wearing chaps I would not have been injured. There's no such thing as a small accident with a chain-saw. I was lucky...several self installed stitches and some super glue saved me a trip to ER. I was very lucky. Keep cutting and making videos.
Yes, to the feature length content!
The audio sounds good, and not a great difference on this end.
I think most of us subscribers like the longer videos, are happy to watch the short ones, and realize one fact. You are doing this with your passion, no constraints... and it shows in the quality of your work. Both entertaining and educational, thank you.
Are there any new old tools in the future, LOL?
Hi Cody, why are you doing 3 or 4 inch timber slabs? Are you planning to use these slabs for dinning room chairs seats? Keep in mind you have to dry this timber out, green wood can be a pain for tight joints. Thanks for the video.
Cool stuff. I see there are a handful of brands of this kind of setup. Is this the brand you recommend? Thanks for the video and your advice
Just a side note...you make starting those monster Stihl saws look easy....you have a good crisp pull. A must for the older HD saws.
Blessings friend. This kinda mill, I think I can build from junkyard scraps…. Which is good, bc I can’t afford to buy a new one. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS. Blessings and Prayers for you and your family. Amen 🙏.
Fisherman's knot. Another great video Cody!
As I watch you change your chain, I carry a paint brush where I cut the bristles half off. I use it to also clean all the saw dust from the saw before installing another chain on...just a thought I'd share. Yes, 1 more tool to carry, but work smarter not harder...Excellent videos, very descriptive, I like that....
You are correct in saying, speaking for myself, that you tube has replaced television. I am crafty by nature and enjoy watching content specifically related to my intrest. Regarding your video there are many similar to yours. I think it would be nice to end it with the finished use of the lumber or or some insight to the many potential projects that could derive from these beautiful timbers. Great video. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great stream as usual. I would love to come up and help you log and mill some trees. I live in Kansas and biggins like that are far and few between and if you find them they're usually on private land. Hope your Holidays were great.God bless
keep your videos as long as you want. I enjoy them regardless.
Would it be possible to unbolt the first section of guide rail after passing it with a cut to then hopscotch in place of the third section?
For the reason of not needing more than 2 sections of rail.
Love the channel, thanks!!
I worked on cars for one whole year without a compressor and air tools. Now that I have them, I am forever thankful for power tools. And my 4 ton low profile long reach rapid pump steel jack.
Looks like a great system, I might use it someday. Thanks.
