This is the best off grid home made portable little saw mill I have ever seen working as smooth and easy as it did. Way cool
Awesome to see it going though the paces. I think the crank was a great addition, look forward to seeing what other mods you make.
I’m 67 so a lot of this is behind me - I used to own an island up north - this would have been amazing there, I had so many logs 😭 - can u imagine having this guy as your buddy??!!
Izzy, you knocked one out of the park!! Even I could build one of these. Thank you so much for your engineering mind! You have over the years built and shared some of the most unique projects on RUclips, but I think this one is #1! So fantastic! Thanxz
This is awesome. A budget homemade wood frame chainsaw mill. This guy is incredibly creative. I’ve been watching your videos for years and you deliver that wow factor every time without fail. Very impressive build. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for watching. really enjoy making these fun projects and sharing
Plz give me a machine ..pament ditail
Damn! That's something to be proud of Izzy. I love your ingenuity.
Izzy, this is one of the smartest and most creative (and cost effective!!) inventions I've seen this year. Well done!
every so often I run into a jaw dropper. this is one. 100 % plus extra credit added, applause and then accolades!!! extremely well done.
Sweet build Izzy , the fact that you can carry. It around in a Prius is pretty cool you ever stop amazing me with your videos
Dude.. that is phenomenal
Nice update/upgrade to the 'Alaska Sawmill'. The portability of this is huge for people that must drive out to some place in a forest too.
Love your vidios, I started 3 years ago milling with a 455 rancher and its addictive. Now I have 6 saws and I built 2 from scratch and my biggest is the 3120xp husqvarna. It's a milling machine, now I have around 100 live edge slabs that are hardwood oak, maple, walnut.
Awesome build, Izzy! Really good design, I think.
One tip I'd like to pass on is something I've seen in a few other videos that you may have not seen:
If you ever want to cut thicker slabs, you can make and use some wedges to keep the weight of the slab from binding on the chainsaw bar. Obviously, this isn't much of an issue with shorter slabs, but when cutting longer slabs, it can be an issue. It usually becomes more of an issue approx halfway through the cut. :-)
Love it! Going to make out of steel, so I can drag it around with lawn tractor or car. Maybe 10' long. Excellent 👍👍👍 Job thanks for the seeds.
Wow Izzy, this is the first of your videos I've ever seen, but this mill you've created is brilliant! Incredibly simple and straight forward. Gonna go watch your video on constructing it. Thanks so much for sharing this!
love this setup so simple and inexpensive. Thanks Izzy
That is a truly inspiring concept and build. Well done!
For the bolt-hole drilling through hard steel at 1:11, I'd recommend a cobalt bit. They are pricey, but if it is for a common size that you use frequently (3/8ths bolts?) then you can get just one instead of a set. As an added bonus, cobalt bits can be re-sharpened almost indefinitely, until they are only a stub.
What is consistently amazing about your projects is the ingenuity of your designs. Keep em coming 👍😀👍
Absolutely LOVE your style !
Truly a man after my own heart !
WOW you really inspire me to do better and put alot of effort into my crafts... Thanks izzy swan
I love stuff like this. Proves that ingenuity is sometimes much better than spending tons of money.
More like , Common (Bloody) sense...
I just love your ingenuity, keep learning and keep teaching.
Izzy you're videos are always AWSOME Brother! Prayers headed to you and your family! Love and God Bless !Uncle Jeff!
You're a freaking genius , Seriously that was a amazing video ......Great job man
This makes me want to get outside and mill everything. Amazing idea Izzy
I watched it 2 times. I could not drill those 2 holes in the chain saw I don't believe. Wow. Your brilliant. Wow very empresses !
That gets results, nice work!! Well done. Great idea, that unit is a true value.
Hi Izzy Cool build and modifications I'd love to build one just for the free lumber.
Cheers
Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
Dude. You are awesome. We have been planking logs with a chainsaw and guide, but this is a level up. Well done man.
Ce type est tout simplement incroyable. Il n'est jamais en manque d'idée !
Perfect timing for the video. I was going to spend too much for a mill that's nowhere near as good as yours. Thanks, brother
That good job sir and nice idea its amazing watching from philippines thank you for share for work 3-27-2019
Another amazing video thank you. Can't wait to see the wooden machine you invent for loading all those slabs on your Prius!
Bah
Great job BUT TERRIBLE CAR, thought for a minute it was a porta bog, then realised it WASN’T as useful💩💩🥊🥊 BUT congrats on the chainsaw milling👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥳
I have tried using Latex paint mixed with 2 parts water (on completely dried lumber) and put the final coat of paint later. this provides unbelievable protection for the wood. almost plastic like. Thanks for the video, Ingenious.
This is absolutely awesome . Thanks for sharing with us, Izzy!
I got to give credit when credit is due. I wasn't sure your track was going to be ridge enough. I liked the concept from start. Being a welder I would of went with a steel build. That said the wood mill would built is much more achievable for most. Great build my jat is off to you
That is awesome. great job.
Izzy, you are the man. Very inspiring!
You, sir, are a genius. I love your creativity and how you see the solution to problems.
prius in the background - you sir are practical as hell. Thinking about doing the same thing.
I'm 0:41 into your video and I can already tell you're some kind of a genius...
Thank you for sharing your creative simple workmanship........👍
Brilliant Brother
This could change the world.
I want to build a Small Home off Grid one day. Thank You
that is the best thing i every saw!! i want one so bad
That's awesome thanks for sharing
Отличная работа, отличный механизм. Спасибо вам. Хорошая тема и главное дешевая
That's very cool. Glad to see anyone getting enjoyment from their work. Just a thought now I just bolted hardwood timber roof racks through the roof of my car. That's how you could transport those slabs on your Prius.
"It had to fit in the back of my Prius." I LOVE it!
This is a unique take on the chainsaw mill. I particularly like the fact it can be run standing up.
Izzy Swan you are a freak. Dang at the stuff you come up with. This is amazing.
Awesome!
Congrats for your creativity!
Awesome Channel bud!!
You got my curiosity to build some of these projects!!
+1 ..
Keep on shooting your ideas out.
Thanks 4 sharing.
I couldn't have said it better!
Love it Izzy, wish we had more trees in the Arizona desert.
one prickly pear processor coming up. lol thank you for watching and commenting
Man that thing is AWESOME!!! Great invention!!
Nothing but admiration to you, and very creative.
Just awesome.
this looks safer then the standard milling, awsome job
Awesome build, great talent! Enjoyed watching this, thanks!
I am amazed at what human Ingenuity can accomplish with simple thought analysis the world needs more people like you to inspire others to reach their potential and maybe even surprise themselves
Im an engineer, and thats the ultimate in simple. Engineering is about less moving parts and efficiency. A metal square tube version will be in the works at my house, fantastic build.

I burst out laughing at how clever this is! Great Idea!
I foung jigs and rigs are amazing for powered tools. It gives the operator the ability to maintain steady, constant, and control pressure. Great for the tool. Great for the operator.
Fantastic build Izzy, you’re such an inspiration! Best wishes from over the pond, cheers, Mike (UK).
Looks great. Did you think of using a lawnmower cut off cable for the throttle? Specifically the one where you need to hold the handle down to keep the engine from turning off, you could reuse the handle as well.
thats a good idea
you sir are a genius!

Wow 👍...You are a freaking genius! I love it, wish I could build something like that...I love it, awesome , awesome 👍 job!
Excellent! Good work and thanks for sharing your ingenuity, Victor
Now put all that wood in the back of your Prius
Cool contraption nice mill
Incredible job there, Izzy, can't wait to copy that build. May even pick up the Husqvarna to replace my 30-year-old Craftsman.
Wait a few weeks because he'll probably improve it by then...
Yeah! Can't wait to copy it as well! Unlike the Arizona desert - northern Alberta has lots of trees! Oh yeah!
Brilliance. Gift to society. Thanks for sharing this.
This video is a contribution to humanity and nothing less, towns are built around sawmills.
That’s an awesome set up. I could definitely use something like that. I do a lot of bowl turning and have had some trouble in the past trying to get logs cut down for a decent blank, I think part of the issue was using a somewhat dull cross cut chain lol.
dull chains cause lots of problems got keep a sharp chain in for good results
Nicely done sir. Adding this to my TO-BUILD LIST.
My husband and I have been wanting to take advantage of fallen trees that we find to fix up our home but couldn't find a way to effectively mill the logs without an expensive home mill. This will solve our problem!
G kg
Fantastic video. This is genius. Made one today but attached to a 12 foot ladder instead. Thanks also for the construction video. Cant wait to check out the rest of your videos.
Very cool Izzy . I have been watching you for a few weeks now.thanks for being a good teacher
thank you for subscribing and jumping in on the comment section
Stupendous.
Wow. I wish I was good enough to make that. We have a good bit of wood in my area people throw out. Just brilliant.
This is what makes RUclips great. Man great video! I love this!!!!!
amazing. i only need this tools and up to siberian wildernes and build my own home.its possible with this setups.
Hey Izzy, pick up some Farberware thin poly cutting boards (Target - $10 for 3) and cut them into glides for your projects. Using them it's possible to have tight fits and yet easy movement of wooden parts in homemade machines. The poly in them is surprisingly durable and long wearing.
GREAT IDEA thank you
Happy to share what's worked for me (the rest - not so much). With tight fits, give some thought to sawdust and chips that can cause binding between the gliding and stationary surfaces and design your joints so that they're naturally debris avoiding (V rails, shields) and/or have debris clearing (brushes, sweeps) built in.
Hg
do you think the dollar tree poly cutting boards would work?
Great suggestion man.
When I went to the Philippines the natives there cut one inch slabs of acacia using just a snap line and a 36 inch chainsaw. They did this all by eyeball a quarter mile from the nearest road. The 8 x 1.5 foot slabs were straight enough that a hand planer took care of the rest. It was all I could do to carry one of the smaller boards on my head halfway to the road. We made cabinets, tables, beds, and shelves out of it. I still have a bunch left over.
Incredible idea. Easy to build. Thanks.
That is awesome Izzy.
I may have to design something similar, and then stamp “Birthed by Izzy Swan” on the side of it.
Hhöl aaaaani
So can I get some prints of how to piece together the mill me and my dad need one of these this is awesome
This build is definitely part of top 100 human creativity apparatus. Cheap, useful, easy and functional. I am building one for sure. :)
Thats awesome!
Can't wait to build my own one of these days
Smart Ideal my friend , if someone was repairing a cabin in the woods and needed some plants there they go ,
lmao @ "five skunks shy of a stink party" (oh yeah the invention was great too!)
Great idea. Just a suggestion from using my Alaskan mill, when you are a foot or so into the cut, good to tap a wedge into each side, again further down the log, depending on the length, be sure to add some after half way point. This will keep the board from pinching at the end of the cut.
Amazing in every aspect!
GRRRRRR.... A Man's man! Early morning logging, breaking out the chainsaw, felling trees, loading up your mill .... wait. In the back of a Prius? Oh.... THAT kinda Man's man.
heh... Love ya Izzy!
hahahahaha jerk! love you too
Lol
That is an Awesome setup.
A cracking wee sawmill, thanks for sharing
Very ingenious and cheap sawmill, seems to work perfectly. I love it
Your swedish Husqvarna saw works great :-)
My Husqvarna saw is made in Brazil. Most likely the one that Izzy has isn't swedish either.
OK but originally it is Swedish. A Swedish multinational company. Husqvarna is a Swedish town where it all started
To me, a Brazilian-made Swedish product is still Swedish, just as an American-built Toyota is still a Japanese car.
That saw will not hold up as well as a pro grade husky, but fine for hobby work. The rancher is a consumer grade saw, not as well built.
Have to say, awesome sawmill! Love all of your builds.
My comment is about cutting directly into the end grain. If you could turn the saw a few degrees, you would find that it moves quicker and cleaner. Your shavings would be long strands instead of powder. If this was a bandsaw setup, 90° to the wood is great, but a chainsaw does much better ripping with a rip blade at about 60° to the wood. Hope this helps.
I was thinking this too.
Hey Izzy I am a huge fan, but now I find out that you are a michigander!!! I am a Michigan boy too, and now you have a subscriber for life!!!!!!!!!
duuude this is awesome. top shelf! I think a bit out of my wheelhouse but im gonna work up to it very very cool
