    Idea for your next video: set up leveled jig above log ,now instead of having to readjust for each cut you can just move the 2x4 runner to other side and do 2 cuts for for one log turn ,also no need to level jig for each cut, just side to side adjustments, if your gonna build a cabin I think this idea will cut down the adjusting time to a 5th

    Two things I like about this guy. 1) He wears chainsaw chaps and PPE. 2). He understands the importance of the first cut. My first few days with the TMW-56 I struggled hard and ended up with 4 beams, none of which were square on either end. Starting on level ground with a level saw horses really helps. IRL it's not this easy but although he sped up this video in many places from real time he mentions key elements about the importance of the 1st cut, keeping things square, ripping chains, leveling things, starting from the small end. The devil is in the details. Thumbs up! You get what you put into the TMW-56.

    Yes it is cheap and seems simple enough to use, but there is still a downside, the whole thing doesn't really fit in your pocket... You still need the piece of lumber (full length) to use as a guide, and putting screws into the timber doesn't leave the sides in perfect condition (ok easy to add an inch for "fixing".) to get the cuts happening.... For Rough Bush "lumber" who ever forgot that one can rip logs freehand with a chainsaw... (mark out with a string-line and pencil.).. It's in the bush nobody is going to notice your cuts once the green wood warps to heck and back. lol...

Here in NY Ive noticed they primarily use cedar for structures out in the Adirondack trail system and that seems to hold up for a long time even when constructed green. Unless your hauling material 20+ miles on trails that are not navigable by any motor vehicle you dont really have any other choice.

    When you write "lumber", do you mean you slabbed boards and not just beams? I'm trying to envision it. The first couple of boards would be done the same way, but with each slab, as the runner board gets moved over, eventually there would not be enough surface for the runner board to rest on. Do you have any tips? Thank you.

I had moved to the Sierras and learned to cut, fell and split my own firewood. Now at 58, with nerve and back injuries, my husband bought me an 18 inch Stihl MS 250 for my birthday back in January. Right after getting our trees worked on by professionals 😕. I finally have a project going that I will use it for almost 3 months later. But now I want to get me some logs to mill!

    Those are great, I think they are called "Beam Chainsaw Mills" as they are made for exactly what you did, milling up a beam. I made one myself years ago to edge slabs that I cut using my shop made Alaskan style mill. The fact is for making beams, they are great, but for slabbing up a big log into boards, they are only OK, an Alaskan Chainsaw Mill is much easier to use and you get better consistency for board thickness. For $20 it should be in all of our tool kits. Cheers from Tokyo!

But that might be wobbly/unsafe? I think I would just cut as many boards as I could normally and be left with one 4" wide beam.

    With a couple of extra screws along the length of the 2x6 on top there, it should be possible to to make near perfectly straight beams even if the 2x6 is not perfect. Might be a good idea to spend those few extra minutes. All in all it seems like a very nice jig. Certainly can't argue with the price.

    I've used this exact mill, before I got an Alaskan, to cut up roughly 500 bd ft of pine with a very under powered saw and it worked well. The biggest thing you need to do is stay ahead of the sharpening to ensure clean efficient cuts.

    Cool. I know it's a lot slower than a good bandsaw mill, like a Wood-Mizer. I know a Wood-Mizer sawmill is not cheap, but it may pay for itself over a few years. Also, Wood-Mizer is a Christian owned company, while Timber Tuff is owned by Husqvarna, and TT has stuff generally made in China...

    It depends greatly on the type of wood in regards to using a ripping chain. The finish is the main difference seen across all types though, for whatever that may or may not be worth to you. I concur though, often times, hardly worth the time spent changing out the chain. Thanks for taking the time to review this. I was curious how they performed. For folks working in a pinch, it's nice to know what the options are.

    With thousands of board feet of lumber under my belt with an Alaskan sawmill running a Stihl 090, a ripping chain cuts faster and given a smoother cut every time. The time it takes to change over the chain is minimal for a better outcome, in my opinion, when milling Douglas Fir, Port Orford Cedar and Black Oak.

    This design can easily be improved by making the bar axis to guide distance more adjustable. This way you can set up the reference plank centre-line to be equidistant and you can cut both sides without having to re-adjust.

    Thanks Wranglerstar, I was curious about these. Baileys and a local miller both say a milling chain is slower, but sometimes gives a more finished cut. He preferred a skip tooth chain. Seems like you should have made the 2nd cut using the supports you already had in place from the 1st, resetting the 2x6 and cutting the opposite direction. If doing this a lot, make a spacer to set up the offset for the cut.

  • @werelok1
    @werelok12 жыл бұрын

    A little extra oil added on the chain as you go, doubles, at least the amount of cuts you can make between sharpenings, will reduce wear and chain stretch, and reduce sharpening to a couple strokes per tooth. Prolonged cutting dries the chain, also turn up your auto oiler to reduce friction. Makes a huge difference.

    Been looking into this the past couple of days and one thing I came across was that if you angle your blade to just bite a few of the bottom corner teeth at a time your shavings are longer/ energy consumption is improved. Should be achievable by making an adjustable stand for the guide wood so that you can adjust the height of the guide to adjust the depth of the cut. Would imagine it would mean less sharpening as well. But way more (faster) cuts

Funny how some folks don't seem to know about Stihls odd/even number system and how they generally corelate to being even for 'pros' and odd for 'homeowner' versions, i.e.- A Stihl 390 is a much more 'tame' saw than the say 360, etc. Same for chains, yellow link chains are much more aggressive than the green link, which are 'safer' and being a 'low kickback' type chain.
