This is a big one fellas! 45 feet of millable white oak. Using my monster 137cc Stihl 090 nestled into a Granberg Alaskan mill, I slab and slab and slab till I can slab no more. I milled a total of 5 logs at 100 inches and one at 4 feet all between 30-50 inches plus in diameter. If you have not seen this style mill, you are in for a treat, it allows a man to mill even the biggest of logs with minimal equipment. A chainsaw is mounted into the alaskan mill and used to slice one slab at a time with widths up (but not limited to!) 8 feet. My mill will cut a max of 56 inches, more than wide enough to end up with slabs large enough to make a table top out of a single board.

If you are wanting a great saw for milling, I'm a Stihl Man...but like all saws! I'm using a Stihl 090, the biggest saw Stihl ever made. It's an old model, but great for milling. Google for more info.

I love these milling videos, they are so satisfying to watch.
Amazing work, beautiful slabs. You have a boundless depth of energy. Work safely, work smart, protect yourself
I don’t know where in the world you get all of your energy from. I am amazed at the amount of work you get done all by yourself. Good job.
ddoyle11 He is young and determined!
video editing ^_^ removes the breaks lol
I remember being young and strong..
get a helper sheez
I’d kill to be young and determined again 😔
I know most guys would be bored to tears faced with logging all day, i cannot dream a better day in my life where i get to operate a chainsaw all day long, out in the wilderness, fresh air, surrounded by nature and great scenery and earthy, wood smell. Love it
Its heaven. Start small and you will eventually meet someone who can present you options if youre serious
Just wanted to say, you've shown me exactly what I was lookin for with a chainsaw mill. Would like to get into making hardwood slab tables. And you've inspired me. This is a great video. And thank you for making it.
just watched this video. Nice job. I work by myself all the time. Cut some ironbark slabs a few months ago ( Sydney). They were in the 150Kg (330 pounds) average. Hard to move about on your own but if you keep doing it the body adapts and if you know your limits you rarely have any injuries of consequence. Good job for 4-5 days effort.
Great video and so far as I can tell very good comments in the comment section. Usually there are always "experts" that like to criticize, but you have a well earned following of good people. Keep up the hard work, it's very inspiring!
Those are some great looking slabs. Looking forward to watching the sycamore milling. It's like oak white in that you get the most figure when it's quarter sawed.
I seriously have respect for you for all the hard work you do and still making continuing future project plans. Blessings to you. Looking forward to seeing next beautiful table.
That was just a pleasure to watch. I'm truly inspired.
Make sure you make time for your family also. The best to you always and love all you do from making tables, remodeling homes, metal engraving...........you are a jack of all trades.
You are a hard working young man!!!! What I enjoyed most about this video was exactly that....watching your energy. You're a rare breed in your generation.
Thank you so much for making and posting this video. My respects to you for your honest hard work. Those are beautiful slabs! I am hoping to make some slabs off *much smaller* trees from my local forest in California. Thank you for showing how you did yours. Good luck!
This is one hell of a job. The level of effect in this job is stream. I have done this type of work myself, many years back and it is back breaking.
OMG huge respect. You are one hard working SOB and clearly strong as a bull! Nice work!
That is some beautiful figure in that Oak . watching you mill that reminds me why I started milling as well . So far all I have done is a blue spruce and a white pin . still rewarding to see the grain patterns you get when you finish slabbing . God Bless and keep on milling .
I used to be able to jump like that. Miss those days. Great job. The thing I like most about your videos is your getting out and doing it. A lot of people are afraid of doing something so they don't succeed at anything. Fear has nothing to do with it, it's what we do even though we might be afraid. Love watching your channel.
You are a hard worker, my friend. I really admire what you do. Best aye!
Old episodes popping up that I’ve already seen, but honestly these milling straight out of the forest ones fascinate me the most! Very cool!!
So much respect to you, the amount of work you get done by youself is amazing. you have a new subscriber, i will be looking at your videos and looking forard to new ones. keep up the good work and i wish you a lot of success for the future.
it's almost wrong how happy you are to touch that wood
great video!
Who throws a thumbs down? This guy is a beast. Great video man. Would love to know the money a project like this brings in. Thanks again
Your not a quitter . That's why your a winner. I work all day on my ranch then sit at the table and watch other people work.
Wow, I can’t believe you did this backbreaking work all by yourself. You’re so talented and young it’s so amazing to me 👍🏻
I took 2 Advil just to watch this. Good work sir.
Lol, LoL 🤣
I bet you sleep well! You have some AWESOME ambitions. Be safe!
Thanks, enjoy watching.. be safe..
That winch attachment is real nice. This is the first Alaskan Mill setup I have seen with this attachment. Real cool!
Your awesome personality gained you another sub!
Your exceptional work and quality videos gained you loyalty! I'll be watching.
Great job sir and I'm super proud of you! Keep your dreams alive and make some non-negotiables so you stay your course on your path.

Hardworking man. You are truly man.
i just cut some beautiful oak with a friend on my 070 stihl. you were an inspiration. Its tiring work even for strong folks.
Very enjoyable indeed, thank you. I like the direction you are planning for your videos too. Stay safe!
That's some gorgeous wood there, the furniture you are going too make out of that i'm sure will be extremely beautiful.
Don't stretch yourself out too thin sir, that's when bad things happen. I know that from experience.
Ankle, ankle, ANKLE.......! I felt that! Felt my own go. Never been right since.... ooooh the pain ohhh the agony. Feel a tad sick now.
I love your crank system on the mill. Very clever.
Look at that smile at 1:29 when the saw turns over! Pure happiness.
Much respect for your hard work.
That is so awesome. I I just milled some lumber myself. But not that big. Have a great weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden
Thanks
You are really stockpiling some nice wood.
Great video, thanks!
Best twenty plus minutes on RUclips..You are an amazing woodworker i hope none of your slabs will crack or wrap.
Always impressed by your work ethic. As always, thank you for sharing. Just watching this video made me tired. Now I need to go take a nap. :-)
You’re always working so hard and doing something incredibly beautiful!
Would be really neat if you were able to sell some of the wood back in the form of beautiful furniture to the people that live there - kind of coming around in a circle.
some of the best figurings I ever saw in an oak came from the rootball end of the tree, it was awesome almost burl quality
You guys who mill really have an amazing work ethic. Very few work harder. 👌
Youre a genius! Use a crank and pulley system to help you move the chainsaw.
11:11 that is some major physics haha. These videos make me want to quit my job and go cut some dang wood full time!!
This was a nice video, I'm planing to get into woodworking and I think the Chainsaw Mill will be the best option. I already have an old Army pick up with a LS conversion and 4.54" gears that is made to pull wood.
Hard work pays off! Best of luck with all your projects/businesses
really fine work . I would love to have all of that you cut up , drying in my yard . stickered
I've dropped a few trees for fire wood back in my day, nothing that big! its a job for a young man for sure.
Beautiful, beautiful wood! And what a big job! Loved the video. Stay safe.
Wow! Beautiful.. and I love to watch your Victorian home restoration project. can't wait to see that finished. God bless
Best gym membership ever.
Was I ever that energetic when I was his age? Yup. Sometimes reckless too! Man am I jealous.
Dang!! That's a good days work. Been working on a willow oak all week and watching this video gave me some ideas on how to make it easier for me. Thanks
I chainsawmill slabs too, but only with a 24" bar and about a 20" mill attachment (cue the sad trumpet sound...) Your mill is awesome! It is hard work, and the least efficient way to make/procure lumber, but it is also satisfying and exciting to see what the next cut will unveil. And the smell of fresh wood!
Forget all the Safety Sallies telling you "Wear some____" or "You Should Be..." or "Don't ____"
You know what you're doing! Be comfortable. Have fun.
I use a lot of Sycamore, what you are talking about is a quilted pattern. It is beautiful wood with a spray polly or if you have the time it looks good with a tung oil finish. Good luck with it and be careful.
Hard working man.Rare nowadays.
There's still plenty of them, and plenty doing work they don't like, day after day to keep their families going. They are the real hard workers. I'm just doing what ever I want most of the time.....sure it's hardwork, but I'm making having fun.
Here is to you Sir! Some very extensive labor that you have undertaken! Well Done!
Even though I have had extensive experience with chainsaws throughout my life, I have never considered using one to mill lumber until watching your videos. If I ever decide to tackle the challenge, I know I can fall back on your channel for some valuable and instructional insight. I encourage you to continue the work you are doing in your own unique manner. Speaking for myself, it is highly appreciated.
It's a cool system, it's got huge capabilities when you consider how large of a bandmill is required to do the same.
Nice work friend! you make it look easy' Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP
cut one more round off that stump where the hole is in there and make a badass coffee table epoxy coated with blue or glow in the dark resin/epoxy in the hole.
You get an amazing level of work done by yourself, seriously well done!
I love this guy. And I'm Aussie! Work ethic! Mate look at how strong he looks now to when I first started watching him. His family will be proud of him. Love this bloke. He's no slacker.
Where are you located, ( what state if in the USA). Just curious. I just bought a stihl ms880 and plan to do some chainsaw milling. It's nice to see someone with similar interests. Keep up the good work. Nice looking slabs you got there.
"I still got to hit the gym after this", he said.
Wow! Beautiful slabs. Who wouldn’t want furniture built out of it? I never knew the hard work that goes into cutting the slabs.
JACK POT !!!........Beautiful...wish i could get my hands on an old tree like that.............
You scare the carp out of me the way you jump around with that running chainsaw.
him: jumping around with that Chainsaw.
me: 😮😮😮😣
Its probably not good to be full of carp. 😜
4:55 - Log jump with a 090 in hand, nice (and 5:55 & 6:20 !)
.....what an amazing feat for a One Man Team! (with no 'big equipment' )
wow!
nice!
Love watching your videos man! Just pure excitement! That's when you love & enjoy your job.
Hard worker!!
Dude! You are scaring me twisting your ankle carrying a chain saw!!!!
Gorgeous wood!
DR1LLB1T ,i actually thought it was entertaining myself....I just commented cause that twist of his ankle made me cringe a bit. I certainly wasn't ordering him to do things differently than he sees fit. Nice rant though. You must be a good human being, too.
Ha, that was a funny response and I agree. I don't take Christina's comment like the other safeties though. Your pencil example is about right. The most dangerous thing I probably did milling this log was getting in my truck and driving there and back each day.
How about wearing chaps and sporting a tourniquet though?!
I wear them for the most part, I just didn't have them on for part of the video.
This is how I feel about it--- ruclips.net/video/Q490iOW_-Lg/видео.html
Your going milling crazy, makes me wince when I see you straining with them logs. Don't put your back out overdoing it. Nice work!
090!!!! What a beautiful saw.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho e feliz ano novo
I like you dude but for the love of god quit jumping around with that chainsaw
It is idling, so it is not like the chain is moving. All the same, it always pays to be careful.
No body is fucking perfect
@Scott Heslin what a twat of a comment.
Some people know how to handle a chainsaw. Others cant. You sound like the latter
Shit happens!
Amazing !!! The figure in that tree is incredible.
MUCHACHO USTED ES UN HOMBRE DE VERDAD.ESE TRABAJO QUE HICISTES CORTASTES ESE ARBOL EN POCO TIEMPO.MIRA CON TU JUVENTUD YO TE BENDIGO Y QUE DIOS TE PROTEJA TE AYUDE Y SEAS UN HOMBRE MUY TRABAJADOR SIEMPRE.CREO QUE TU MERECES UN 100 POR TU TRABAJO Y TU VIDEO.REITERO TE BENDIGO ALELUYA AMEN.
How long is that chainsaw and how much did it cost? That's amazing work man.
I love your videos, so I'm asking nice for you to wear your chaps if you're gonna jump a trunk with your brake off. How much does that slab weigh at 11:00 if you had to guess?
I think the big slabs weighed 300 - 400 pounds. It's soaking wet and white oak....some may have been near 500. It felt like picking up slabs of concrete.
Really loved watching you break down those logs
Cara, meus parabéns você fazer tudo isso sozinho, você é FERA...
What is that device you're using to make those slabs?
Amazing!
It's an "Alaskan mill", probably Granberg. He's rigged up a pulley system with a winch which will make the job a lot less tedious. Saves a lot of pushing and pulling on the heavy saw with the big bar...
Very nice oak. Special projects in line for this one? Do you ever make ship lap with it?
I have one table planned for the widest slab. Im making it as a gift/trade for the saw that I am milling with. No to shiplap, if I was going to do that I would have it bandsaw milled.
That’ll look beautiful. I’d love to see the table once it’s built if you have time to post it. I know you are busy. Lol
Loving that old saw.
G'day homestead Cman my brother and myself wrestled an Alaskan double 066 magnum for 15 years he was happy when I got my first loader then in 2009 got the Lucas mill and put the Alaskan in the shed . But I know what you're going through you gotta love it 👍
How dead and dry was that tree? I did an end cut log round table and the thing aplit like crazy. Is an end grain “round” slab going to dry out faster? How do you keep your slabs from splitting, start to finish? Looks like anchor seal with the initial cuts.... do you have to stay vigilant with sealing after you slab and plane? How that wasn’t too much jumble! Great work sir! Inspiring for sure!
It recently fell over, it was basically still alive, leaves still green. I use Achor Seal on the ends of the log before milling.
The hard part with "cookies" is that they dry at different rates, from the outside first - it puts a TON of strain on the wood, which causes it to split apart like that. Check out this video from Matt Cremona for a good explanation: ruclips.net/video/UupXXZ4kVfA/видео.html
You need to be careful with that saw. I have some gray hair on this one
I live dangerously......but drying around in your car is probably more dangerous any day. But yeah, a chainsaw will tear you a new one real quick.
Awesome ,managed by a single person , such a big log .
Great job for one person only, lovely to watch !
I'm so wrong for laughing @2:40 😂
Ha, no problem. I put it in on purpose. A lot of videos make things look like nothing goes wrong and the person in front of the camera is perfect. The truth is I fell more times than I'll admit, twisted my angle, strained my neck, and on and on. Just a glimpse into the truth behind doing anything.
Alright
The Homestead Craftsman Im not surprised you twisted your ankle. You were going at it hard, running over that log like a mad man, lol.
minus the time spent milling you are really cutting costs of table material. stay safe out there!
I'll be honest, this is the most expensive lumber I've ever gotten. Paying is much cheaper as long as it takes to do this work. In the time it takes me to deal with it all, I could make a ton of money if all I was doing was making tables. The problem is the rarity of what I'm getting.
Would it have been better to have hired a labourer for some of the grunt work and to make it all a bit easier and therefor faster. I sure the cost would be balanced by you getting back to what you do best and make the money on (building tables), quicker.
That could be said about everything...but then you've got someone standing around with a dumb look on there face ruining your fun because they could not care less about what you are doing. I'm not doing any of this because I have to, I do it because I want to. With that said, help would be nice, as long as it's the right help.
Buenas noches soy de Argentina estoy sorprendido por tu capacidad y tu fuerza de voluntad para realizar tu trabajo realmente es sorprendente
Si senior!
Great video, I love the idea of using the come along wench, these videos make me wish I was living in the woods.
Chuck Norris just called. He wants to know when you can teach him to be a man.
You should turn off the chainsaw before moving around, especially jumping.
Thank you, Mr high school woodshop teacher.
WHite Oak and Red Oak make beautiful furniture !
Awesome wook and beautiful slabs.
