- Chainsaw milling is done in many ways,
Since my method is a little special, I explain it in an easy-to-understand manner using CG.
We would appreciate it if you could try it with care.

Ah great, cutting the log like this saves time I see, and my chain won't get dull quickly, I'm still learning the Craft thanks for this
Thanks for watching!
I'm studying about tree and woodworking too. And continuing sharing video on RUclips from now on.
I like how you made sure to say the log was attached at end and wouldn't roll because that is crucial. Thank you for taking the time to post this video and big up life!
Thanks for watching!
Great informative video 'with' safety guidelines. Great concept of incorporating the computer graphics to help with your explanation of how to perform each cut. No ramblings or unnecessary commentaries. Just a really good easy to understand video. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Great job with the explanation. I've been ripping logs like this for 3 months now & trying to perfect my technique. You really helped me understand the physics of what is happening. Thanks👍
Thank you for watching.
I'm glad that my video was helpful to you.
Lol, I just watched this again and learned 5 things I had missed or forgotten. 😂 thanks again brother👍
Thanks for watching. Plz watch other video of mine too.☺
Good for small projects in small wood.
Just had a couple of huge branches fall out of a very large oak tree in my yard….I’m going to try and mill a few of them into small slabs like this.
Great video 😎👍
Thanks for watching!
Really good presentation. Thankyou brothr
Thanks!
Grovey and Safer than most ! Cheers
Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you!
But......if you turn the log 90° its the same.. I mean the log is round you are cutting with the grain either way. Cutting against the grain is essential just cutting the tree down.
Thank you for watching!
Exactly. And if he cuts at 45 degrees, it would still be the same. The only thing different with vertical cuts, is that they are the only ones possible for one person using a chainsaw.

@@chasingthefish9042 Perhaps I shoud have specified that "they are the only ones possible for one person using a chainsaw only, and nothing else"
Despite cutting with the grain, the amount of wear on the saw is drastically lower with this method. Only the teeth towards the tip of the bar are engaging with wood, allowing for lower rpms, less wear on the engine, and less fuel consumption. And despite only using the front portion of the bar. the progress is actually faster. It’s just a little harder on your body and requires a little practice to become proficient
wow this makes perfect sense! one could make a jig that makes boards this way, with the saw freely moving in 2 axis on a fixed plane? that would be cool. I don't trust my free hand lol
Thanks for watching.
Looks good. Thanks.
Thank you for watching.
Amazing video....especially the graphics haha
Thanks for watching.
Groovy music.
👍👍👍👍👍
Educational
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant
Thanks for watching!
Wow that must take at least 3 hours with a small saw, surely a mid range 70 / 90cc would be better and cleaner cut !
Thank you for watching!
Wait… but don’t we cut against the grain. Cause it makes stronger boards?
Chips tunes and INTELL and I been around a dash
Thanks for watching.
I prefer cutting perpendicular to the ground myself (as a homeowner with smaller trees, rather than a pro). However, this video has several problems...The grain of the tree runs up and down the log. Milling boards is always along with the grain. That cross grain animation is misleading, on a very basic concept. After that, you need to block your log up off of the ground so your blade does not cut into the soil as you go through, but this was not shown. It is very important to safety to stabilize the log so it does not move *at all* during the cutting. This was not shown, but it seemed that this was attempted by wedging other logs alongside the one being cut. The problem is, the wedge no longer works once you take your first plank. It needs repositioning each time, not shown, and not recommended. Again, for safety, cut only one plank at a time...this multiple cut method may seem faster, but weakens the stability of the cuts. The last thing you want is the unfinished bulk wobbling, cracking, or baffling under the pressure of its own weight while you are busy cutting. Finally, when you use what looks like a picarron (not a wedge) to separate the planks at the end, you are tearing them apart, not cutting them smoothly...I've gone into detail not to insult, but to inform. There seemed to be serious safety issues with this video and misunderstandings of wood and trees at a very basic level. Please check almost any other video out there on this technique.
Did you lower the depth gauges below normal cross grain height?
The same height.
It doesn’t matter if you cut the log vertically or horizontally, you’re cutting the log the same way, with the grain. You’re graphic is incorrect, you’re making people think that horizontally cutting is no good but you’re showing it as crosscutting the log. If you don’t know what you’re talking about please don’t spread misinformation 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for watching. I don't mean only log vertically or horizontally but its importance of relative angle between saw blade and grain. Please watch carefully.
I free hand mill my logs and I have to say do this very same method (except I have my log sitting in the air with the two other logs being my holding stage, so my saw never hits the ground.)
I find the cuts to be much faster and a whole lot easier on the saw.
@@dwainetyncompanythey have different chainsaw chains for crosscutting and ripcuts. Crosscut is for cutting against the grain and ripping chains are for cutting along the grain. The guy that posted this is trying to make people believe they are doing a completely different type of cutting if they hold the chainsaw at a more parallel level to the log versus perpendicular to the log. That is not true. The grain of the log goes in a circle within the log as I’m sure you know so his graphic is false, also his graphic is showing his saw parallel to the log which it isn’t. But I guess anything is possible when you lie 🤷🏼♂️ I just hope whoever watches this doesn’t watch this video only before making rip cuts in a log.
@@davidhemphill07Respectfully, I’m not sure I follow you. Maybe I’m misreading it or am not fully understanding what your trying to get across.
I cut this very same way to produce boards and it’s very different than the regular milling jigs we all see typically. Laying the saw flat as if it’s parallel with the Earth. If your standing up and cutting with the saw down, your essentially doing the same thing as cutting parallel with the Earth, except when I stand up and saw, using this method, I typically run with three to five teeth hitting and making contact with the wood. The bottom bit of the tip of my bar. If I were to use a jig, 100% of the teeth would be involved and it would take much more time.
My cuts are always fast and my saw isn’t stressed as much. Fuel goes further, so I can essentially make more slabs.
A circle is a circle, and it doesn’t matter if your cutting flat or standing up.
Just speed I guess? It’s both going with the grain in the exact same way.
Just different positioning of the saw.
As far as chains go, it’s not a speed thing. It’s more or less how do you prefer your finish? Rougher or more absolute? And really only come into play when sawing flat parallel with the Earth.
And as far as cross-cutting and “rip-cuts” and the “different chains”
You can very well use any chain for any application.
Are wanting to cut slabs or round?
Ones against, and one is with?
Chains are chains, and they will phuck shyt up regardless.
I mean, we can make videos together in replying, so we can understand what we are each saying.
I have well over a dozen slabs drying in my garage and another few dozen still yet to be milled from their logs.
Black Walnut.
Stihl MS261C.
Standard Yellow hazard, full chisel .325.
I only run motomix as fuel.
20” bar.
Chain a little on the loose side.
I do have rip chains but I honestly don’t ever cut parallel with the Earth. Too quick standing up and cutting. I’ll probably never go back unless I get a wood mizer mobile mill. In which it wouldn’t even matter because most band saws are designed that way.
For chainsaws though. Try this method out. If you can keep a decent line or have the right jig, I think you’ll enjoy it.
Thanks for the video.
Are you using a ripping chain.?
Thanks for watching. No normal cross cut saw chain.
I can hear your quail in the background 🤣
does it matter which direction you go up or down the log?
I don't think it will be a problem.
For a smoother outcome it helps to start on the trunk side, following the direction of growth. This is especially true with softer woods. Picture carving with a knife and the greater ease of cutting with the grain.
i dont want to be that guy but please tighten ur chain on the saw it spins cuase its to loose and when not in use put the chain brake on i cringed when the tip was spining and u put ur pickaroon down by it
You are assuming i know how to cut straight
Stay close to Jesus
An easy way to gauge width after your first cut, is to have the log on an angle. Hang a plumb bob from the bottom of your saw, and follow the bottom edge of the previous cut. This way, you just adjust the angle of the log to give you the thicknesses you're after.
Excellent animation. Excellent chainsaw work. Great music
Thanks for watching!!
