You can cut lumber by hand, too. Once you've done that anything north of the Ryobi Pocket saw is AMAZING! lol It looks like you got yourself some nice, straight boards with a minimum of fuss. What more could a fella hope for, eh? "Get it done" gets it done. Saying, "Oh, that won't work - it's not big enough" is a politician's specilty, not a workin' man's. Looks PERFECT to me, Doug! 💪🏁👍
Not for long. My biggest saw is 80 cc’s and it struggles on the bigger stuff. 25” oak log, 12 feet long and the Alaskan mill is a tougher job that pulling off the skins for a post.
If you're going to use a saw to rough cut I'd mix my oil a little heavy to protect your saw. I cut some Maple about that size with an 044 and it worked fine. Keep your chain sharp and take your time.
First journey through milling for me was with my 445 Husqvarna. Everyone said it couldn't be done and I still have the first ash slab to prove it 😊 Good Luck and happy milling!
I have a granberg Alaskan 36" mill attachment and a knockoff for spare parts, my Husqvarna 3120xp is on order, then a 72" inch slab mill will be next. Cuz i need a hobby
@@IndianaDoug I bought one. Its a bit of a learning curve but for rough cut lumber its a neat little thing. My 391 and a ripping chain dont seem too happy about it though. May get me a cheaper large saw for the milling.
