Turning a dead oak tree into a mountain bike jump with a cheap mill
Спорт
Muahaha! If you're one of those people who insist I buy the optimal tool for every job, you're really gonna hate this one. Today we use a $100 chainsaw and a $30 beam cutter attachment to mill oak into planks. And it works! Then we build a nice little kicker as a proof of concept. Enjoy!

“Today, on This Old Trail...” Seriously, watching things like this as a kid, plus helping my dad with projects is why working on things comes so naturally. It’s also why I geek out on tools. Keep this up. 👍

Definitely want to see more of the saw mill and making the most out of what you’ve got. It’s not just cost effective, but everything made has a special feeling and a story behind it.

I don't even have a mountainbike or anything like that. Just a city bike I (which I sometimes use for off-roading), but I like the inspiring vids and the woodworking side of the channel.
This is awesome, love the rugged creativity that Berm Peak has unleashed in you! To make the most out of that little winch without adding a snatchblock: Set your tree anchors higher to pull up on the log and decrease ground friction, choke the log at the very end for maximum pull, try a plastic sled or scoop shovel under the front end of the log to increase slipperyness.
There's just something about your videos that are not only entertaining, but super relaxing. You inspire to make more ramps, keep shredding it Seth!!!
Hey Seth! Just a tip, you can always add in a pully system, such as one called a "z drag" to help lighten the load and increase the load capacity that the winch can pull!!

Nice! I want to do the same in my backyard at some point
This is so awesome! I just ordered a chainsaw guide from Northern Tool and am planning to do this. We have a huge pine tree behind the house that was blown over in a storm a year or two ago. Should be able to get plenty of lumber out of it for something like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
I never comment on your videos but I just had to on this one! I had a smile on my face the whole video, so awesome to see you use your own timber
Hey Seth, juts wanted to say I love these building videos keep them up👌
Love the voice over on Eric Porter “yeah” heheh. Love the videos Seth keep up the good work
Seth you don’t know how perfect timing this video is. I was just looking at that saw mill and wishing someone I subscribed to would test and review it.
