I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Yep. Power wash. Also when stacking and sticking put a 4x4 across the top of the stack parallel over your bottom supports. Then use ratchet straps on the ends from top to bottom. This will clamp the pile together and stop the slabs from warping as they dry.
I put my logs on a couple pieces of 4" pipe, then hit them with my pressure washer to clean the mud off. (If they are bad dirty. )If its cedar a pressure washer will literally debark them also.
Nicely done. In Will Maloff's book -- I hope there is a previous comment with the IBSN -- but available on Google books -- you will see that Will has two improvements on you arrangement. One, he puts the winch on the opposite side of the log with essentially a Y-harness on the saw. Two, he has a remote throttle gadget. So he starts and finishes by hand, but once started he sits on the opposite side of the log from the saw. So he eats very little sawdust. I did most of my milling before I discovered the book, and I ate a lot of dust.
My husband and I LOVE this channel! We look DAILY to see if you will post the update on the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happen to the house? It's a nice property and yes the house has LOTS of issues....but I can vision the new home once you get your hands on it. I think your work is TOPS! Thanks for sharing the chainsaw mill. 👍🏻
Why the heck i never found your channel before.. lol.. I love fabbing my own crap. And I just bought a Stihl 311 with a 24" bar.. I was gonna buy an Alaskan mill but now I'm gonna make one! Thx for posting!
The only thing I might suggest would be to pick up an electric blade sharpener. I bought one for about $30 at Lowe's that runs on 12VDC from the cigarette lighter port in the dash. This makes sharpening the bar so much easier and so much faster. Also, a tip my stepdad gave me was to use a Sharpie marker to color the top of the saw tooth you just sharpened. This helps you keep up with which teeth you've sharpened and those you have not. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing the cabinets and furniture this red oak transforms into!
Great Job my friend! I will be buying your plans for sure!. For my needs, I only need to take off one 6" flitch depth cut off the top from 3' long 26" diameter de-barked log sections. Do you think your plans will work? I am using a 34" bar? Thanks a bunch!
Question, I'm running a husky 372xp 70cc. Is that enough pwr to mill wood? The chain I'm using is a skip tooth. The slabs are coming out real rough. Can't figure out where I'm going wrong.
I wonder, if you were going to make a habit of dragging logs around, if you might be able to make a ski or skid to put under the front end, to make it easier to drag
next time you want to drag a log put an old car hood or curved board under it to act as a sled makes it pull so much easery when its not digging in to the ground
I could be wrong, but it seams that you don't know to sharp the chain. The particles caming out of the chainsaw are to small, it seams dust, and it should be like a jointer but smaller, and you'll see that it won't take so long to make a cut. My advice is to buy a electric sharpener.
+DKTAz00 probably anything to get dirt off would help. Light rinse with a hose, pressure wash, remove bark. Limited options away from my shop and tools though. But a good lrarning experience for next time.
Hi, did you guys encounter problems with your chainsaw during milling? I clogs up my neadlebearing after 30 minutes of milling. I use a ripping chain and a 462 stihl with a 41 inch bar. Recently my neadlebearing even got torn to pieces... wonder if you have any tips... Cheers
On the mill I built before this one using the stock Stihl 20" bar, I noticed the clamping location would cause the needle bearing to get hot if I clamped too far outboard. Maybe try clamping inboard from the bearing a bit and see if it improves.
Um, yanking on a tow hitch ball like this can be fatal, the nut on the balls strips and the ball becomes a projectile. Just be aware for future reference.
Dirt is very abrasive and quickly dulls a chainsaw chain. The texture of a log’s bark makes it pick up dirt easily when moved. Avoiding letting dirt collect on the log helps the chain last longer between sharpenings.
I'm not sure that ANY accessory for a chain saw should ever be home made. Those things are the MOST LETHAL power tool there is. Never work alone with one.

Nel Woz plan A is on indefinite hold. We fleshed out plan B and C. Plan D seems likely. Sorry to be elusive but just not enough set in stone.

Awesome! Just stacked a bunch of slabs in my shop last week. Ready to get started turning them into stuff.
A cut above the rest, well done. Peter

Hi, I really liked the simple frame made for log cuts..I like to build one, thank you.
Beautiful lumber! I'm sure you'll appreciate the wood more considering all the work you've got into milling it. Thanks for the video.
sdpatil india very good job I like to see you build a belt saw mill very simple.
Very nice. I like your hand winch arrangement a lot.
I recommend a carbide ripping chain.
Lovely awesomeethods chainsawill love your methods man you're the guys with creative mind lovely technique like it.👍👍👍👍😎
I use 3” pvc to roll my slabs around when milling alone. It works pretty good.
ive done a bunch of chainsaw milling, and ive found out the hardway you shouldnt clamp on your nose wheel
Great job my brother your are awesome dude :)
Wow! That works great, nice wood will make an awesome project!
Isn’t it possible to strip the bark to reduce the wear on the chain?
+Alan Morris sounds like a viable option especially on logs that have sat a while.
I'd like to see you build a belt saw mill

Try leveling your two end pieces of angle iron and your longer pieces should be perfect

Put your logs on a old car bonnet then drag its easer and the logs stay clean, have a good day Cordially LT
Excellent !!
спасибо. ничего лишнего. молодец.
Pressure wash log few days before?
Do you do anything in particular to kill the insects living in the wood (which we see in video as you’re cutting the logs) as the slabs dry?

next time you want to drag a log put an old car hood or curved board under it to act as a sled makes it pull so much easery when its not digging in to the ground
Good for planks or framing lumber, not boards. You are better off with aHaddon lumber maker. It cuts vertically instead of horizontally
Wash the logs?

Does the clamp slow down the gear on the front of the bar / more friction and heat ?
If I don't get it positioned correctly and clamp down too tight, it can.
@@Makercise great content just bought a 362c , if you get a sec checkout my channel thx

While working in mud sucks, could you hose down the logs before cutting? just to get most of the dirt out

Hi, did you have to drill a bigger oil hole in the oregon bar for proper oiling or does the manufactured oil hole work well with your chainsaw?
I didn't modify the bar. Get two big jugs of bar lube though.
Any action on the farmhouse?
cathie haggerty planning to do a live video over there tomorrow.

Can we order your chainsaw mill on line please .and me👍👍😳😎
Because I don't mill, what do you mean by clean log??
Dirt is very abrasive and quickly dulls a chainsaw chain. The texture of a log’s bark makes it pick up dirt easily when moved. Avoiding letting dirt collect on the log helps the chain last longer between sharpenings.
Make a lot more sense now
I like to hose them down. Even better if you can get the bark off after dragging them home. But the hose saves me.

use a log arch next time
Ditch the Ford and get a Z71 Chevy and do away with with your overload issue.
Must be horrible to breath all that nasty exhaust fumes all the day.
