Logs To Lumber W/Timber Tuff Sawmill Jig
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2024
- Trying out the timber tuff sawmill on an old cedar log to make some lumber and boars to see how it works. Cutting this log into beams and slabs with this sawmill worked well and I am really glad I have it for future use. The lumber and beams I made with this thing took no time at all!

I have almost no idea about milling wood, but I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I feel like I know a bit more than I did! thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very hard work ! Well done ..
Thanks! It is hard work, but I have a lot of fun doing it. Taking a crappy looking log that nobody wants and turning it into some nice looking lumber is always rewarding!
Thank you sir. I've watched several videos and this one is what I was looking for
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting!
G'day S&J, I purchased my 4 foot Alaskan twin power head slabber in 95 I put a pair of 066 Magnums on it they worked well together. The next year I got an Alaskan mini mill so I could cut garden sleepers and railway ties, I found that pushing it away as you did on the second cut was the way to go but you had it near vertical I ran it at about 60 degrees and be conscious that any left or right pressure on the throttle handle will reflect at the bottom of the cut. They're a handy little portable set up but I'll have to be honest since we purchased the 10/30 Lucas Mill and slabber they've been in the shed gathering dust for nearly 15 years but they helped to pay for it mind you 👍.
Great info! Thanks! I will check into the Lucas Mill. Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice demo Jason! Like the mining stuff, just starting g to watch the logging.
First time watching a video of yours. I'm thinking about buying one of these. Good solid and honest review. Not a bunch of fiddling and long-windedness. Just the way I like it.
New sub here. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and subbing! I have been thinking about the timber tuff and I am planning on a new video soon about it. I have some new things I want to try with it. Stay tuned!
@@SJForestProducts Sounds good. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the notification. Thanks!
They are a handy little tool, I keep one with me when I mill with the Alaskan, I set it up on another saw 029 normally and use it cut dimensional timber out of the slabs off the Alaskan, works very well
Yes I like it. It is a handy tool and is really cheap. It makes some stuff go much faster than the Alaskan. I agree both have their place
I just bought one of these TT saw attachment to make some beams - Also I'm usually watching your Jaw Crushers :)
Very cool! Let me know how you like the TT attachment. Thanks for supporting both channels!
Nice seems a bit creepy for me being on that side of the saw but it would be super handy just to square stuff up then slab with Alaskan. O and would it be effective if you did it on the side and took boards off the top
It is a little awkward and it makes me a little nervous pushing the saw like that, but it seems to work ok, just dont want it to kick back. I have never thought about using it on its side, maybe I should try it!
You mentioned pushing the saw thru it which I’ve thought about the from the very first demo I watched of this type of jig. I’m guessing the kickback might be in question.
Yeah, it does make me nervous. I can't quite find a way to make it feel comfortable for cutting and safety. Its a cool tool, but want to make sure it doesn't kick back like you mention. Its much easier to push than pull though.....
Thanks
Now that's manly,awesome
Thank you! Stay tuned for more videos
If you mounted it on the otherside of the bar so it is the opposite side to the engine, will it not make it easier? It seems a bit counterintuitive but you wouldn't have to lean over the log as you cut.
Good idea! I will try it next time
Hi, great video. Can you tell me a few things? How big is the bar on your chainsaw, and how long in real time does it take to make one pass on a 6' log? Thanks
How many cuts to go from sharp to dull blade
Im loving your videos! 😊
Really enjoying these, as much as I do the other channel! I was wondering if you can take one of the finished lengths of timber and dress it, and finish a small part off ie plane and sand to a nice finish to see how it comes up from a log to end product?
My next video shows me dressing the boards down some, but I dont have a planer yet. I would like to get a planer and then have a nice smooth finish
@@SJForestProducts great can’t wait to see it! Perhaps you can send some samples off to a few of the great woodworkers on RUclips and have them make something! :)
🍻👍
I agree. Square up first then cut the rot out.
Yep! There is still a lot of good wood on those butts they left!
Your good!!! Tnx
We're you using a ripping chain? It looked pretty smooth. That may have been the time laps.
Did you use a ripping chain?
Yes. Ripping chains make a real difference and a much smoother cut. I would recommend them if you are planning on using an Alaskan mill.
Did you use a Roos cut chain or a ripping chain?
Great video mate👍😊
Maybe wedge the log in place so she doesn't want to roll on ya?
I like the looks of the Norwood chainsaw mill that runs on a ladder 🪜.
Was lucky enough to skip that plan & went with a Woodmizer lt35 manual mill.
I would Stihl like a chainsaw mill to be able to get in & out of the truck on the forest 🧡👍🌲🌲🌲
Thanks for the video & your thoughts buddy 👍 great video & Timber 🪵🌲🧡
Thanks Craig!
Here is the simple solution to the first cut with a Timber Tuff, Haddon or other like guide.
Spike or screw two vertical 2x4's to both ends on the log. Use a spirit level and fasten a horizontal 2x4 to each end. This is the mount for the saw guide 2x4. Fasten the saw guide 2x4 to make the saw kerf lay where you want it.
This is a good idea! I will try this on a future video. Thanks for watching, and supporting
I took my setup a little further and fabricated a T bracket out of 2x2 steel angle that I can screw to the ends of the log and screw to the 2x6 guide to as well. Makes a good solid mount for the guide board. Ripping 16' long beams 4"x24" slabs and coming out really nice...
what dogs are you running on your 462?
The standard dogs that came with the saw. Are there options for dogs? I didn't realize. Are there more more aggressive dogs? What's the advantage? Thanks
On the Alaskan mill - you could probably use 4 small "C" clamps on the inside of the two plates (clamped to bottom of the rail) to hold the metal bars from sliding while cutting.
Hi Tech, Good idea. I might try that in the future!
Nice video. First time I have see the little mill. It seems to have a place. What chain are you running? I have good crosscut chains but do not have ripping chains.
Thanks for watching Tony. I am running a full toothed ripping chain, I think its an Oregon chain. For ripping it works way better than a cross cut, much smoother finish.
This was a great video. What STIHL saw are you using? It seemed to do a great job. I was just wondering if an MS 291 can handle the milling stresses or is a professional series saw like an MS 261 and up required? Thank you for any information.
In this video I am using a 462 with a 28" bar. I now use a 500i with a 36" bar. I'm no expert, but I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 462. If nothing else it will really limit the width of cut you can make. Thanks for watching.
Good👍👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Cheers!
Do you ever stop working 😂 I’m new over here from your milling channel
Nope! Don't know how! Always having fun though
It’s cool your trying some new stuff .. tools for forestry and wood working ..... seems like it might work as a topic on your channel! As well as every tool you buy and review can then be a tax write off 👍
Keep trying techniques it looks like it’s a decent tool ...
P.s. --- hope my boss emails you about some logs
Thanks man. I will look out for an email from your boss, but no pressure. I will keep trying things and posting vids as long as you guys keep watching! Thanks again!
Beware of saw kickback in certain positions using this. Also because you never know what you might hit within the wood
Pulling it looks WAY safer.
Agreed
Why always cut backwards?
It is kinda an awkward thing to use. I have found pushing works better than pulling
ตัวเกาะเลื้อยอันเล็กหาซื้อใด้ที่ใหน😅
Cedar cuts easy
Yep, it is a super soft wood. Thanks for watching
File your rakers mate, throwing dust, great vid though
Good call!
Hadir
Thanks for watching
New Sub here. Nice video. I have watched many videos with this jig and I think you got it right the best by using a big enough saw and not move the saw as much and cuts are so much cleaner.
#slackoutdoors
Thanks for watching and subbing! I am planning on a new timber tuff video in the future. There are some more things I want to try with it. Stay tuned!
How much
The timber tuff is cheap, like $35 on Amazon
Looks like a toy... And kickback ready!
It looks like you're cutting dry redwood. It would be a far more difficult proposition if you had a harder wood; not everyone has access to wood like that.
Why cut backwards??
It is kinda an awkward thing to use. I have found pushing works better than pulling
