more lumber for the upcoming coop project saw - Husqvarna 385xp Music : Modern Situations - Unicorn Heads Late Night Train - Vans in Japan Rest Easy, Vans in Japan
The time and effort is well worth it today.. the cost of lumber now a days for simple little projects is absolutely crazy. Thinking of getting myself a simple little rig for my saw.
Yes 👍 Fk paying these prices I’ll be milling my own timber beams for carports etc on property. May have to buy Sheetmetal roofing but I’m ok with that.
I hope you havent been buying lumber in the last 3 years you've had your mill. W the prices of lumber and the quality from the stores while you could have been making it yourself far better quality
Yep I just learned how to use it , I was thinking how to align the saw , and the use of ladder I think is a good solution , also the lubrication of chain is a good one. Thanks for the video.
Love your channel mate, I have 3 different size Alaskan mills and in my opinion they are the only way to cut boards accurately every time with the advantage of still being 100% portable while maintaining accuracy with the bar tip being supported, and the physical workout is very rewarding. You do not need to cut a lot of board feet to cover the cost of an Alaskan mill, well done👍👍
I did try it will not help unless you put lots and lots down, and it wont last. I'd say for me putting wood chips down made things worse. I've since scrapped them all up.
You made that look easy a lot of work but easy I saw another guy and he was nothing but struggle I think it had a lot to do with you had a better mill and you had the experience great job
Just lining up to order an Alaskan Mill. My saw is a Husky 385XP, and that tractor looks a lot like my Massey 204. Now to shop for a good 36” bar and a ripping chain or two…
@@wheelinken 👍yep, if memory serves, 202 is gas & standard trans, 204 gas & ReversOmatic, 203 is diesel standard, and 205 is diesel ReversOmatic. I have my “sliding kingpost” backhoe, but it was separated when I got the tractor. That will be a restoration project. 😁 Have a wood lot where we did some selective logging in 2016, and figure the Alaskan mill should be just the ticket for when we need a few boards for a shed or something. I picked up a planer the other day, so that should just about do it..
@@lanedexter6303 sounds about right to me. I also have a 204 for parts... would love to use the trans out of it. Maybe one day. Good luck with your milling!
Me quito el casco, ante la inteligencia y desarrollo de este buen hombre . Gracias por compartir este vídeo. Obviamente copiaré la idea, pero diré que se le ocurrió a ud.
I've had some dry fir that was tough as nails to mill, some just fine. Overall a little green is easier but if you have good sharp chain it shouldn't matter too much.
What diameter was your log start with, how many 2x4’s did you get out of it and how long did it take? Looks really awesome. I’ve got 38 acres but most my big trees are 16 inch diameter. Just a handful 18 to 20 inch diameter.
I took a couple days, kind of on and off. I was after 1" boards and I got like 30? Between 8 and 12 inches wide, the log was well over 36 inches in diameter but a lot went to waste (firewood). Smaller logs are faster but setup time is the real time suck. Kind of fun, but also hard work. Thanks for watching and commenting.
With a bad bar, youd probably have wandering and or binding in the cut. Yes, in this video I'm using a ripping chain. I have recently switched to a crosscut chain, and it definitely cuts faster, and there wasn't a noticable decrease in the smoothness of the cut. Remember to flip your bar once in awhile, dress it and keep a sharp chain. Thanks for watching and good luck!
@@wheelinken binding sounds about what is happening. It's an older bar that I had sand contamination in it which caused it to wear badly and have sharp edges on the track. Just ordered a new bar.
@@jasonc6962 you can dress the bar with a file or even a bench grinder if you setup a little jig. But it sounds like time for a new bar anyways. Good luck!
Would a beam mill, the sort that ride a 2*6, make it so you could do 3 sides without needing to turn it? Fairly obvious that is the most time spent in setup. Use this to cut the top level, then put the beamrider on it and do the side cuts?
I do this milling myself exactly the same way while I am waiting for my mill to arrive yet I really enjoy watching your amazing ability. I also really like how you do the great reveal for us all after the cut. WAY COOL!!!!!
You're living the dream dude, nice job on the lumber. I have one question though...Why don't you use a full or half skip chain? I switched to a half skip a few years ago, and I'll never go back to a regular chain, unless I'm limbing or something where kickback may be an issue.. I think its a little easier on the saw, and maybe a little faster? Looking forward to hearing back from you, thanks.
Thanks for the comment and that's a good question. I am currently using rip chain, but I have been considering trying a regular cross cut chain... semi or full skip, just so I have less teeth to sharpen. So, I dont really have an answer for ya. I haven't tried anything but my full house rip chain. I'll do a video for sure when I pickup some new chains to try.
@@wheelinken I see...Your chips looked so small, I'd have never guessed you were using a skip. My chips are usually about 4 inches long, and it always looks like a birds nest under my saw, ha ha ha.. Be safe and keep up the good work, I'm a subscriber and looking forward to more videos.
You can buy a ladder at any hardware store, chainsaw and supplies at a chainsaw shop or dealer and the mill can be found on the granberg website or saw shop. Google granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill.
@@wheelinken I was using an .063 ripping chain then I switched to the 63pmx it's .050 I find you get a smoother cut with it..keep up the good work anyway 👍🏻
Helloooo. I ve a 2 questions Can you tell me what caind a chain you used (size) Its a full or half or maybe somethink diffrent? How strong your saw is? I've Husqvarna 55 (3.4KM), runner is Oregon 18", chain 0.325 semi chisel And not working 😭
Band saw mill and access to wood. People around where I live will bring the mill to your place and mill your logs for a fee. I've also heard of splitting the lumber 50/50. But a good band mill is pretty expensive. You might be able to do some small scale stuff with a chainsaw mill, but it's going to be really hard work. You can make a chainsaw mill attachment but I bought a granberg. Google it up and good luck!!
i found another one with the new style you can add to, butt the tie down looks a little un stable it needs some help. the ladder style still has a plus to me. you might watch , the ladder may need a little support at midway, a wedge, a screw. after seeing yours i thank i am going to start there i need a longer bar i am going to start there and cut a few logs. thanks

Yes 👍
Fk paying these prices
I’ll be milling my own timber beams for carports etc on property. May have to buy Sheetmetal roofing but I’m ok with that.
You just convinced me to try my mill. I’ve had it for 3 years in my shop never used it. Love your efforts. Great job
Awesome! Thank you
I hope you havent been buying lumber in the last 3 years you've had your mill. W the prices of lumber and the quality from the stores while you could have been making it yourself far better quality
@@jacksmith2315 yup, still haven't bought a single board! Lumber pile getting a bit small though....
Thanks for the vid. Like how you square off the cant using blocks and a ladder.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
What a beautiful video Thanks for sharing.
@@pablogil7132 thankyou! Thanks for watching!
@@wheelinken👍💯💯🇧🇷
Nice vid, thanks for sharing your experience.
Just received my Alaskan Mill I'm of the camp this weekend...
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with your mill, lots of work but with the price of lumber... should be worth the effort!
Yep I just learned how to use it , I was thinking how to align the saw , and the use of ladder I think is a good solution , also the lubrication of chain is a good one. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy milling your own lumber!!
What kind of lubrication did you use? Was the lubrication added to a specific attachment of the sawmill?
I read your from Van island, I'm up here in Kamloops and that was a fabulous video! I think I'll have to get me a mill guide like yours.
Thankyou!
Nice work bro! Those boards look absolutely spot on. Keep it up
Thank you!

Thanks very much!
And you get way better lumber than youll ever get at lowes home depot. Even a lot lf the lumber yards arent as good as they used to be
I'm going to give it a shot Thanks Dude. Being a carpenter something always wanted to try.
Awesome!
Nice my boss 👍.
Keep safe to your freehand mill🙂
Thank you, I will
Good jobb mr
Thank you!
Awesome awesome, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work bro
Thank you!
There you have it, nicely done. It works.
Thanks!
Great work
Thanks!!
Excellent video, Thank you for making it! 👍
Thanks for watching!
And thank you for mentioning the music, Unicorn Heads now playing :)
Good job sir, I am jealous! 😁👍
Well done, men!
Thank you!!
Did you try to use woodchips to cover your yard in order to avoid mud and if it helped?
I did try it will not help unless you put lots and lots down, and it wont last. I'd say for me putting wood chips down made things worse. I've since scrapped them all up.
Good idea on the hand oiler on the side.
Thanks 👍
Best method of selft chain saw milling board👍👍👍😎
Square with saw great!!!
Really nice work. Very skilful!
Thanks!!
You made that look easy a lot of work but easy I saw another guy and he was nothing but struggle I think it had a lot to do with you had a better mill and you had the experience great job
Thank you!
Good video. I might need to do the same with the extra oil. My Stihl 362 oiler is wide open and not enough.
Why don’t you use wedges?
I do use wedges, just when they're needed... which isnt very often.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck!
Just lining up to order an Alaskan Mill. My saw is a Husky 385XP, and that tractor looks a lot like my Massey 204. Now to shop for a good 36” bar and a ripping chain or two…
Awesome! Yes, my tractor is a 202, basically the same. The Alaskan, husky and massey will hopefully get ya a bunch of lumber :) they do for me!

Hardwork bro, keep spirit and good job 👍🏻
Thanks!
Your oiler at the tip, is it just for extra oil on the bar? Does the saw not give you enough?
Yes, for a little extra oil. The saw oiler is adjusted all the way but is barely adequate.

Hello masters,good job..👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
The ladder is a really cool method. Saves me from buying 2x4 or some kind of railing
Yeah I messed around trying to make 2x4 rails... used ladder was cheap and easy. 👍
Very nice. 👌👍👏
Thank-you!
7:08 I'm confused. Di you just put gas in both your gas tank and the bar oil tank? Do you have 2 gas tanks? I'm confused
1 jug with 2 tanks, one for gas one for oil. Common thing around here.
@@wheelinken ah ok lol. I'd bugger that up at some point no doubt lol.
Good job! A lot of planks in only 10 min of work.
Hahahaha thanks!!
Good job👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Thankyou!
Great work!!!!!
Thank-you!
amazing bro
Thank you!!
This video is very satisfying to watch and informative about the method. I wish I could tell the time you spent on a cut
Probably takes somewhere around 5 minutes
Awesome!!! Love the video. What is the brand of that chain saw set up?
Thanks for watching!
Granberg Alaskan!
Bom trabalho.👍
Wew. This is awesome.
Thankyou!
Wow!! Thanks for sharing! 😀
My pleasure!!
Great video.
kind of mill is that? Where can I buy one? Thank you
It's a granberg brand. They can be had online, but I got mine at my local saw shop. Just search granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill.
Thanks for watching!
@@wheelinken thankiou.. Florianópolis Santa Catarina Brasil
Good job
Thanks!
I like the Mad Max Mobile!
Thanks!! :)
Can you make a video on how you built this
I'm sorry, built what? The mill is store bought. Granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill.
Love it.good job.done subscribe..
Thank you!
Good video instruction. Is the smoke in the background your salmon smoker?
Thanks! I wish I was smoking salmon there but it's just some cut offs i was burning.
Is there a way to make these bigger thickness
Yes, you set it to whatever depth you want
Nice job.
Thankyou!
Looks efficient enough to me.
Do you use mystery oil for the chain drip lubricator?
Bar/chain oil
Good job 👍
Hello can tell where to buy this tool! Thanks
Thanks 👍

We do it the same way. Nice!

Do you use a ripping chain? I do also but the cut speed is incredibly slow. And it's a new chain. Wondering if my bar is bad
With a bad bar, youd probably have wandering and or binding in the cut. Yes, in this video I'm using a ripping chain. I have recently switched to a crosscut chain, and it definitely cuts faster, and there wasn't a noticable decrease in the smoothness of the cut.

@@wheelinken binding sounds about what is happening. It's an older bar that I had sand contamination in it which caused it to wear badly and have sharp edges on the track. Just ordered a new bar.
@@jasonc6962 you can dress the bar with a file or even a bench grinder if you setup a little jig. But it sounds like time for a new bar anyways. Good luck!
It's the bar tip oiler your design or purchase
That was all me lol. I've since changed to another diy oiler but this one isn't taped on haha.
Would a beam mill, the sort that ride a 2*6, make it so you could do 3 sides without needing to turn it? Fairly obvious that is the most time spent in setup. Use this to cut the top level, then put the beamrider on it and do the side cuts?
yes, I've wanted to try and do exactly that, but those beam mills seem pretty jenky. Couldn't really hurt to try i suppose. I might just do that!
Hi, bro what is that red liquid wich are you usng for lub?

@@jasondutter1 thankyou very much!
Love this!! New sub
Thanks!!
Mezmerizing
What was the red liquid you used for lube
Bar oil.
Excelente trabajo
may i ask why you hose the log?
to get rid of excess dirt and rocks which dull the chain faster
Very nice
Thanks for watching!
Would shimming both edges as you go help?
What's the name and brand of little mill?
It only seems to help if you have a hefty chunk of wood on the bar.
It's an Alaskan chainsaw mill by Granberg.
The jig you attached to chain saw, where can I purchase this device?
Mines a granberg chainsaw mill, available online. They have a website.
Looks like many hours of work to get those planks
Yes, a band mill is far more efficient. I can dream.... lol

Nice
LOVE IT MILL IS JUST TOO SIMPLE
did you make it? how long is the saw bar?
Thanks, no I didnt make it... it's a granberg brand. 36" bar on a 385xp
What kind chainsaw mill is that and where can I find one to get??
Mine is a granberg brand Alaskan mill. Google granberg chainsaw mill or check your local saw shop. 👍
What is. The little bottle attached to the end of the mill. You put something in it. Is a drip for bar oil?
Yes, a bottle to drip oil on the bar/chain.
A longer choker, along with proper placement of the chokeknot and the log will roll itself.
Definitely! I've had a lot of practice and do it that way these days.
It certainly mills nice even lumber.

Lower one end its easier going down hill 👍
That's how its setup. Helps a little for sure 👍
I use a ladder to make my first cut as well.. what chain do you use? I use a stihl 63pmx I find it works very well
It's a stihl ripping chain, .063 and very used up. I find setting the rakers just right helps a lot

why does he get the log wet before milling?
I hosed it down to get off excess dirt and rocks, which will dull the chain faster
i found another one with the new style
you can add to, butt the tie down looks a little un
stable it needs some help. the ladder style still has a plus to me.
you might watch , the ladder may need a little support at midway, a wedge, a screw.
after seeing yours i thank i am going to start there i need a longer bar
i am going to start there and cut a few logs. thanks
Yup, support the ladder mid span. There are many ways, find what works best for you! Thanks for the comment
