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 RU-vid, but I think this one is #1! So fantastic! Thanxz

@scottc0510 6 лет назад

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. :-)

@ronniebuck2041 5 лет назад

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.

@jazzdad52 6 лет назад

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.

@ronaldroberts7221 4 года назад

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.

@seasonedtoker 6 лет назад

@2dawgsmiked684 5 лет назад

There are plenty of other places to try mounting. I'd never intentionally weaken a chainsaw bar. Throwing that first chain makes you a bit paranoid afterward...

@incognitotorpedo42 4 года назад

@@2dawgsmiked684 The force of cutting is in the plane of the bar, so those two holes shouldn't alter the strength in that dimension significantly. It's like cutting holes in a joist. You can get away with a pretty decent size hole, but if you notched the beam by the same amount you would weaken it a lot. If there was a bending force orthogonal to the direction of cut, then the holes would weaken the bar relatively more. I don't think you'd see that in normal operation.

@turnipsucks6416 6 лет назад

I wouldn't. Truck has the traction which the prius would be missing. And as a plus (ingenuity maybe needed) you could use a truck to pull a larger piece of wood to a more suitable location for working it rather than adapt to location.

@_jurist 6 лет назад

Izzy, after you make your first top cut, you should flip your log over and then start cutting boards.

@trouts4444 6 лет назад

Why?

@cajunfid 6 лет назад

Because as long as the ground is fairly flat, having the freshly cut side laying flat means less stability issues with consequent slabs.

@canaan5337 6 лет назад

Because a wide flat side down has a lot more stability then a round side down held with wedges and screws

@96cr 3 года назад

I highly recommend going richer on oil and tuning the saw for it milling is very hard on saws!

@CapnCrusty 6 лет назад

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.

@izzyswan 6 лет назад

GREAT IDEA thank you

@CapnCrusty 6 лет назад

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.

@mikeguitar9769 6 лет назад

@mikeguitar9769 6 лет назад

A crank/winch with the right mechanical-advantage on it works great, even for lifting logs. It seems like all the labor on a manual sawmill is with moving the log into place and turning it. If you have it so the mill is really portable and the log is really close to the ground like on this one, that is a *huge* savings in manual labor, and for that matter, a huge savings in money too since you don't need hydraulics. (Not that hydraulics are all that expensive if you know how to DIY them, but they often are if you buy a finished product with hydraulics).

@scotth5503 4 года назад

I made a mill very loosely based on this. Instead of a hand crank pulley system, I just attached casters to the bottom and push it along on concrete. And instead of a drilling through the bar I just put a u bolt around the handle + a ratchet strap for extra security. Works well enough. However it seems agonizingly slow with a Stihl MS291. I'm cutting an ash log that's 12" X 6' and a single slab takes probably 20min. Not sure if various youtube videos just gave me false expectations of the cutting speed, or if there's something about my setup that could be refined.
