- There are two chainsaw jigs you would need to make a log cabin. I own both. Lets talk about how they work and why you would need them. Here is a quick review on the Timber Tuff chainsaw lumber mill, and the Haddon Lumber maker. Wether you're cutting 3-sided logs or making beams, or boards, a chainsaw jig might fit your needs.
those jigs are really awesome. and your cabin is even more awesome. good work!
Thanks Lilly. They're super handy to have around. Even though they aren't a lot of fun to use, I can't see ever getting rid of them. You can do so much with them.
Never needed a chainsaw gig..I usually cut my work at home to size,,,then transport it to the cabin.....sometimes it had to be adjusted ,but most of the time it as ok...if I needed a chain saw,,,I was VERY VERY careful..but hell you do a great job knowing what your doing!!!!!
Thanks
Quality, practical information in an entertaining format as always. Looking forward to the next one as always. Thanks Dave.
Thanks Jim
Dave I love your Alaska videos I’ve learned so much
Me too.
Thanks, I appreciate that
Great info! I was just going to buy one. Now I'm buying two. Time saver for sure.
You'll need rip chain for the Alaska type mill. But it would be best to own both jigs for sure
@@Bushradical Thanks Dave
Bushradical
Don’t you use ripping chain on the saw with the hadden? Both are running the length of the tree.
And do you buy ripping chains or grind down from standard chain?
(So far I’ve been buying my ripping chains, not experienced enough in my eyes to turn out a good enough product by grinding down-hell, I still don’t like my sharpening skills).
Love the vids, that is a great cabin! Eventually I want to build a stockade style Viking longhouse, but I still haven’t seen my second Alaskan property to know if there is a big enough area of relative flatness (but I doubt it from the pictures I’ve seen-it is on Kosciusko Island, not a lot of flat area in the S.E. Portion of the state); and my property on the Cleveland Peninsula is all up and down, so I am putting up all stickbuilt structures which I am doing in a traditional Japanese style exterior...
Be safe.
Good job dave- if I were thirty years younger I would come up and help you.
Thanks
Always good info Dave and always a thumbs up !
Thanks for the update, Dave ... your cabin has a beautiful area to live in (that goes for you all, as well :) Always good to see the progress you're making! God Bless
Thanks Dave
@@Bushradical ) I want your videos all the time
That's a good jig there, awesome well done Dave. 🇺🇸 God Bless you and your family 🇺🇸 have a great day.
Thanks
Oh my gosh Dave, you remind me of Jim Smith in every possible way. I'm not a church goer (cause Jim never took me). I want to say God bless you.
God bless you too Steve
Those are some pretty handy tools to have. I've never seen either. I made a living with a chainsaw for a few years, but the only tools I needed was splitting wedges and a maul. I was making and selling hand split redwood fence posts and rails.
I have no idea how to run a chain saw, just wanted to watch your video to see what you were up to!
Like usual you explained it perfectly! Can't wait to see your next project!
Thanks MN
Great info. I enjoy the fact that you explain everything in detail.
Thanks CC!
I am on an adventure trip in Norway...but gotta watch Dave 👍
Thanks Mario!!!
I really enjoyed watching Dave, Very informative and good to know. Thank you for sharing my friend. Tennessee
Thanks
Thanks for your videos Dave, heaps of info and very helpful! Cheers from OZ🇦🇺
g'day!
..good info, chain saws can be very versatile tool, from cabins to sculptures they work great..keep 'em sharp..
Right on
Dave I'm not into bushcraft but love watching these documentaries. 😎
Right on. Thanks SH 77
Dave you are the man! Love all your tips, also loved you and your wife on the Alone show. Was really hoping you two would win! Keep the great videos coming👍 Tom from Louisville Ky.
Thanks Tom
Thanks Dave, that was quick! I'm going to take a look at northern tool.
they have all of these jigs I believe. Check bay for off-brands
Nice tips. Thanks Dave!
Thanks
Great video Dave Whipple.
Thanks Ron
I don’t ede we dws😮
I have the Granberg small log mill and the Granberg Mini mill which the equivalent to your Hadden lumber maker with the exception of the pivot the Granberg is stationary. I have hardly ever used the small log mill but have cut a million beams with the mini mill before I got a band saw mill.
I actually prefer to even cut boards with the mini mill cutting them from the side seems to work better than using standard chainsaw mill from the top.
Thanks Dave and stay safe....
Thanks Emil.
Enjoy your videos! Hope to get started in August on my cabin. Next time your in Lowes stop by the Pro desk ask for Shawn. Glad you did this stockade style cabin. Been thinking about going that way with mine. Look forward to more videos!
Will do
Thanks
Dave, this video was perfect timing for me. You're a beauty Cuz.
Thanks
Slick, Home By Chainsaw...And Your Very Lucky That You Have An Aspen Forest To Pick/Choose The Same Size Diameter + Tall Trees To Cut Up... LOL Thanks Dave
Thanks
Great video. Looking forward to more of your videos in the future.
Thanks
Jeeze Dave, you've lived a whole lifetime already, I swear! Nice job!
Tell me about it...LOL. Thanks
Thanks for the info and the demo! Great video!
Thanks
Ty for all the interesting information, and i love the way you do things👍😆...
Thanks Cheryl
Very cool... I like it, simple & effective!
Thanks for the video...
Thanks !
Dave try the Granberg 10 degree milling chain.. it's a game changer for cutting along the grain. Can't recommend highly enough.
Thanks again Dave for the video 👍........JJ...
Thanks
Thanks Dave. This was very helpful.
Good to hear!
Pretty sweet tools! Gonna need both soon. Looks like I'm buying a homestead!! Stay tuned for that!
Right on! Keep me in the loop.....I'd love to make a trip down to see it
@@Bushradical once its official and I'm settled in, love to have you man!
Hey Dave! Kinda "over my head" info, but I'm sure others understood...
Love the cabin, she's a beauty!
Thanks Cilla!
Thanks Dave, very informative.
Thanks RD
thanks for the info and demo - good to know in case i get a chance to build something
Thanks
Good video keep up the good work and that cabin will be done before you know it.
Thanks
Great info. I have a friend building a cabin up in your area I believe... I have directed him to your videos for how to build with poplar... and instead of building with horizontal, how to build with vertical. I think his cabin build will go a heck of a lot quicker... Thanks for the great video.
Thanks.
Damn Boy.... it`s a really useful video!
Thanks
Great info thanks for sharing with us
Thanks
2nd video I watched of yours , good job!
Thanks RM!
Dave, I could see my neighbors taking bets on What Vs How Many appendages I were to lop off the first day of cutting trees for this project LOL. Oh I would likely join them in the betting process as I would need extra cash for ER visit.
You would be fine, just take it slow and get the feel of it..
@@Bushradical Me and power tools don't work well together
Great video!
Thanks
Good information Dave
Thanks LT
Interesting video Enjoyed it Thank You👍
Thanks
Great video.....👍👍👍
Thanks
Love this video! 👍
Thanks
Thanks Dave!
thank you
Is that an 025? Sounds exactly like my old '97 Stihl 025 that has run perfectly since new with a couple spark plugs, sprockets, air filters, bars & chains. I cleared my entire building site in Benzie County with that saw. Another great video Dave.
No, this is an 034. Both good saws!
Cuts with the tip. +++ gonna get one for coldfoot. Thanks Dave
Hey Neil. That jig is a lot of work but it does the job. The other cool thing is that you can use any saw.....where as with the gransberg jig you need a pretty good sized saw to slab boards.
By the way, how's Lauro's toes doing?
Awesomeness!!
Thanks CC!
That little Haddon jig looks like a real handy item to have. Can you get a chain that is designed for ripping or do you sharpen a regular chain at a different angle.?
you can use a regular chain with that jig.....for the Alaska mill you need a rip chain
That is so cool.
Thanks
Good advice
Thanks
Nice Dave
Thanks
Good information, I have been wondering what brand you were using. Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Be radical Dave 😎
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Both great tools !! Really surprised you don’t a small portable mill. Runs on gas. Seems like it would fit right in with the protocol being off grid. Bout same price as a good used pickup for a used one but I think it’d b well worth it. Just my thoughts
Ive owned a band mill before, but I dont have one right now. I had a Lynn Lumber type mill.
Cheers!
Thanks JS
You rock bro, great info and it's impressive what you do alone up there! Just curious about what you do with your concrete business in Michigan while you're up there?
I never had a concrete business in Michigan.....I do concrete up here in AK. I'll be pouring concrete tomorrow morning at 9
👍
nice straight forward to the point ! it would be a good idea to be somewhat experienced w/ running a chainsaw prior to attempting using a mill of this type or any other . chainsaws demand the utmost respect !!! they dont forgive and alls it takes is one uh oh ....'''''
Yes, but you have to run a saw to get that experience. Sometimes its best to jump in a figure things out. If someone wanted to build a small cabin with this jig...they would wind up with hundreds of hours of chainsaw experience because its a lot of work. But by the second or third cut they would have a good idea of how the whole contraption feels and behaves. Thanks
Interesting and informative info Dave. I knew about the Alaskan mill but had not see the Lumber maker in use before. Great little jig and simple to use. On average, about how many logs till you have to sharpen your chain?
You can cut lots of logs if you keep the bar out of the soil...
@@Bushradical Ya, dirt isn't good for any cutting tool :-)
Way cool!
Thanks
Hi Dave, Which Model Stihl are you using here? I could guess, but what I am really after is what kind of power does your saw have and are you happy with that power for the length of the bar? Maybe you don't need more saw that the 16" bar requires? Thanks Dave!
This is a 034. The 16" bar is perfect for what I'm doing here. When you use the Alaska mill....you should have a saw, a minimum of about 60cc.
yeah there is a big difference in price between the two tools. Very handy though. I always worry about the amount of waste caused by the thick blade. We can't have it all ways I suppose.
If you have the money to pick up a small band saw mill that would be better all around
Comment and a question-
C: I'm digging these videos; often I have to put youtube on 1.5-2x playback speed to get the information delivery rate where it needs to be, but not usually for yours, so thanks for that.
Q: How do you ensure that the guide board is straight? Seems like lots of times if I buy lumber at the big box they're far from it.
Thanks!
I got the same saw to do that I wondered first what Brook was using, a got the one like you got I got a big old tree fell in yard.can you show me how to tackle a bigger tree Like, wedge youd make to cut through the tree and how high do you chop no higher then shoulder? I am being safe. My son was just chopping away I'd feel better if I did it. Yea he is 28 but I need to do this lol. Love you and your wife, family you rock!! Glad that deer incident was ok. Angel's are looking after you and family. Beautiful people.you remind me of Dick Peonickie in away. Man was Amazing so are u.
Thanks Nikita. I know people who knew Dick Preonickie, and yes he was quite an inspirational guy. Also, he was sort of like the first RUclipsr.....Documenting his life building his cabin.
As for the Chainsaw videos, check out Wranglerstar's channel. I know he does a lot of logging videos. I can't really help you at the moment because I'm up in Alaska and there are no large trees here.
Thank you! That channel you recommended was perfect.
I didn’t notice, are you using a skip tooth with that or just a standard chain?
I think its a skip tooth..
Do you use anything else besides fiberglass insulation to seal between the cabin logs?
Amazing, but over my head. I "liked" it anyway. Keep up the good work and I'll catch up! ;o)
Thanks
Great video as always! What kind of chain works good for that?
You need a rip chain for the Gransberg mill but for the beam maker you can use any old chain. Super handy, but I would never use one to make a whole cabin again.......lots of work
Bushradical it seems like it’d be slow going that’s for sure!
Dave, Ed enjoyed the video .
How much of the limbs and I off cuts ends up as true waste versus how much goes into being processed into firewood for the stoves. It must take a LOT of firewood to keep one to cabins warm and toasty in Alaska? How much do the kids put into processing wood for the cabins?
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe in the woods.
Everything thats not a log gets burned eventually.
Philippinos make chainsaw lumber without a jig. there are videos on YT showing it.
Tell us why you choose STOCKADE vertical vs TRADITIONAL horizontal log cabin build method.
I have a video Q & A i'm working on about this whole project and I'll answer all the questions then. Thanks
Cool beans
Thanks
Hey Dave thanks for the video I enjoyed it I have a question for you where you live and the other place how was the traffic outside when you get to the road and the same thing where you building that log cabin house because I asked a question because when I eventually do get my property I want to find a secluded spot what is really no one around maybe one or two cars an hour on the main road
I live up a mountain from the Haul road so there is always traffic running north to Prudhoe Bay. There are lots of places to find a quite spot but its not that quiet here....being up 1,000 feet above the road doesn't help because sound travels up here easily.
Bushradical okay thank you Dave I appreciate the information I have to find somewhere when I time comes because I want to have a piece of property that's 46 Acres that's secluded away from everyone and it's nice and quiet that's why I asked you the question
Where can I learn about aging/drying and pressure treating wood myself?
Good deal there now for the next question...cake or pie?😁
Pie!
Brook can out chainsaw you Dave!! 😂👍🍻
No with her puny 025! HA!
😂
Great video. What's the lifespan of a quality chainsaw doing this kind of project ?
I built the whole place with that one saw and cut several years of wood with it and it works fine.
About how many 2 sided logs are you getting before you need to sharpen the chain?
In softwood such as that you can get a lot! I saw quite a few Oak post and as long as the bark isn't covered in mud/sand you can still get a substantial amount of beams before sharpening with a semi chisel tooth full chisel dulls a little quicker. Alot of people use milling chain which is ground at 10° or less . I prefer standard ripping chain....
Several .....as long as you don't get the bar into the soil it stays sharp a long time in this wood
Are you using a special chain on the saw?
nope.....the second jig requires a rip chain though
Any issues with the logs warping after milling? Or does sandwiching them in place pretty much take care of it?
Hey Nick, I'm shooting a Q & A on this cabin build.....it should be out soon.
@@Bushradical I'll stay tuned!
What type of chain are you using on your saw. Also what is your bar length
I use a standard chisel chain on the beam cutter.....you need a rip chain for the Alaska mill. The bar is 16"
My mind is made up. I'm going to buy one
Do you use Chinking between logs? I might have missed something, or it could be covid brain fog? Thanks Dave. Bless
Yes, I'll chink the cabin in a future video
I bought one at harber freight about 4 years ago, I think I paid 24 bucks for it! My sister tried to buy one there about a year and they said they didn't have them anymore!
Ps, I use screws to attach the board to the logs, you can align and level it better I think!
thanks
Thanks for the Good info. - What saw or saw size you recommend?
Any size will work with the siding jig.....for the board cutting jig.....60cc and up with a rip chain
@@Bushradical thanks for the Good info. Im gonna give it try - One more question for all the experience you have building cabins - What's about the best log size for building vertical cabin vs traditional can you recommend - I have many yellow pine & quite few red cedars - I was curious about the sap wood on cedars if I should Mill that off or does it make much difference? Really enjoying all your videos- jlo.
Hey Jack, I don't think there is a lot of room to debate log size....what I mean is you want a log that fills the most wall at one time.....but if you're putting them up by hand you're limited to the size you can personally handle.
There is a vertical log cabin in the town of Republic in the U.P. of Michigan that has 24" vertical logs.......but there is NO way one guy put those up. They likely weigh 800lbs each.
I would say 10" logs are about the most one guy would ever want to handle.
How many still 034s do you have?
WEll said ....
Hey it's Angel from Michigan i wanted to talk to you about alaska.i no your from mi.
What do you want to know about Alaska?
My ears hurt when you use a chainsaw, and they aren't good for the environment. Would you mind just using hand tools like an axe or a kitchen knife to make your logs 2 sided instead? Maybe you could hire a beaver to chew them to the right width?
I love it!! Thanks for the laugh Sam! You wouldn't believe some of the stupid comments I get about cutting logs. You get people who ask if you have permission to cut trees, and people that talk about you deforesting the area and ruining the environment.......when there is literally timber for 500 miles in every direction from here.
