I have property in the U.S south of you, Olympic Peninsula. This summer I will be doing the same, building a treehouse village using materials on site, have a river as well. Will be following you, thanks!
Hi Skyman that sounds amazing. I toured around the Olympic Peninsula years ago, I found it to be stunning. The one thing lacking on my land is a river, you are very fortunate to have such a resource!
I live in Michigan but want to retire in that temperate climate, it’s absolutely beautiful and the resources are plenty. The river is truly a gift in many ways. Those BC islands are very majestic as well, would love to explore them again.
Its really a cool tool & aluminum is not bending in cold wether thats a pro for winterworks i forgot actually when to cut trees as it is said that the time of cutting is best to do when planets or planetary body are increasing, not expanding. but im not sure about this what way around it was. Lama. jou cut the trees a time ago, now jour making planks. What was the time jou cutted the trees? i remebered cutting wind wood from appletrees in autum. They needed to be cut to give the tree some air to let the sun ripen the fruits The trees grow like madness, on clay from the sea thats good like lava and OAT meal they say. . . how odd it sounds. . . . but it works every treegrower who want peaces, black-walnuts, hazelnuts knows that but thats agriculture foodforrest thinges. . . .
@@ultimatemeaning so its really dry then cool. i can smell it here that smokey of hot wood cut with a shartp chainsaw prrrrr lovely Its beautiful september wether here, sunny leaves are going in a week or so
maybe u need the granberg winch set as it supposedly gives a lot neater cut. ive bought one but not tried it yet. There's also one called a Timber Tuff TMW-57 Timber Beam Cutter too for 2x4s and 2x6s which should be easier than freehand
I believe the vertical adjustment bar is the wrong way around . The two skid shoes should slide along the log not face the saw head. Good video thank you.
Yes thanks for the tip, you might notice that I flipped it around in subsequent videos- It must have dropped out when I was changing the height and then I put it back in backwards! oops! 😆🤣😆
Holy sh that's a lot of prep work compared to running a sawmill. Our sawmill carriage got burned up in a shop fire, but I'm thinking it would be easier to restore it, than doing all this... We would load the log on the carriage with a backhoe front loader... saw off a flat side, flip the log onto its flat side, saw another flat side, repeat... until we had four flat sides and a square... and then sawing boards after that with the carriage carrying the log back and forth. One person would run the backwards and forwards level and the advancer, and the other would discard the round boards, and load the square boards into the backhoe front end loader. Two people it went fast but created obviously.. a lot of saw dust.
Yeah it is, but also this is a good option for big trees down in the forest that you can't get to the mill without a loader. Once you make the first cut the rest are pretty easy ♥
@@TheChainsawLama I got to make a pole barn fast all by myself after Hurricane Helene :-/ Plenty of fallen straight pine trees, and I got the chainsaws. Somewhere a heavy duty block and tackle. Got two person hole auger. Somehow I need to make the beams fast. It don't have to be pretty, it just has to be shelter for possessions and motorcycles and I'm racing the rain...
Making sure the fill caps are up is so simple, but if you hadn't said it, I probably would have had one of those stupid moments where I learned it through error lol.
OH yeah I get it now, its the correct pronunciation and spelling for Aluminium before the Americans changed it to Aluminum. (PlutonIUM, strontIUM, uranIUM, etc., ...)
@@rhinocerous98 OK Yes I have a beam cutter. Old school style.But my feeling is if I am going to use it I may as well do it freehand, but maybe that is a mistake. Thanks again
Thanks for sharing, Appreciated!
hope this helps!
I miss British Columbia. Your property looks beautiful!
The Northern gulf islands are magical indeed!
I just bought the same one, you just can not beat it.
Yeah really worth it EJ

@@skymanchronicles8936Both magical locations!
Wouldn't you need to make two flat cuts (perpendicular) by turning the cant, so you can mill planks free of center/heart wood?
These will be a sort of Live Edge slab for an altar
Yeah if I want to make a cant, but these slabs will be live edge for table tops
Its really a cool tool & aluminum is not bending in cold wether thats a pro for winterworks

I wondered about the winch it does look easier, thanks

@@Δυσνομία You can leave them round if the sizes are similar and do it all with a chainsaw. just debarrk them. good luck
Amazing video. Thank you.
My pleasure friend

Funny think is I said it because I nearly installed it upside down! 😆🤣😆

Sorry for that. What is Aloe Mineeum?

Hahahahahahhahaha 4 months and you caught on lol@TheChainsawLama
I use a beam machine to make the first cut
Thanks for the tip. I have a beam cutter but not a beam machine (I assume you mean the one that is like a Skilsaw with a chainsaw bar.
No it's a jig that mounts to bar of chainsaw. You use a 2x4 as a guide

@ultimatemeaning freehand does not workout well for me lol. A piece always gets wasted.
