Chainsaw Mill Build - Start to Finish 

Love watching your videos.

I’m only 5 minutes into this video and have to say this. You have been working at ground level squatted over when you could be working on a bench. I’m 60 and did it that way when I was younger too, but my back is paying for it now. Work smarter not harder! I’m still milling slabs but it hurts more now😎

Great simple DIY chainsaw mill Donn! I really like the simplicity of this build. Thank you for posting, hopefully this video encourages others to make there own version of this to start milling. 😊👍

Hi Donn, you are the man, you build such useful and fun projects! Thank you 👍💪✌

Hello Donn good job beautifully done

Nice summary of an epic multi-part build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎

Nice as always. I watched this whole series piece by piece..

Need a throttle cable so as not to bend over so much, saves the back.

Picked a bad day to quit watching Donn videos. 😁

Nice video

...one newer has enough sawmills :) :) Love your videos, keep up the good work.

That is really taking the chainsaw mill to the next level. I can't help but think what the people who built one of the oldest buildings in Saskatchewan Canada (my province and country) would think of a tool like this, In 1854 when construction started they used a "2 man pit saw", where one man would stand in a pit and another mad above and boards were saw by hand. Thanks for sharing.

If you use top part of the bar, you get much bigger load on bar sprocket.

Heck yeah man.

Works great! Much simpler than other designs.

Danke Dir fur die tolle Anleitung LG Manuel

Nice portable saw mill. Thanks for sharing your videos. 👍

My son bought that same model saw a year ago. I had to go through the carburetor calibration process to get proper top RPM and power from it. You may or many not know that the carb is 100% electronic. The process is in the owners manual. My son is running a 20" bar on his with no issues, but he's also cross cutting and not ripping.

That works great Donn. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Donn, very nice build! I saw something when you built the clamping fixture holding the chainsaw in place that I wanted to mention, it might save you some trouble. The outer clamp fixture holding the end of the bar looked like it was almost on top the space for the bar's sprocket, that might lead to premature failure if it's home gets tightened up by the bar being clamped right there. But that could've just been the angle of the filming making it appear that way. A longer bar in the future might help with that. Also on the clamping fixtures, a nylon block might grip and hold on better for less slip over time on the mill than steel on steel on a Stihl. Those might get you less vibration in your hands/arms and the mill too. Very neat DIY cousin, you've inspired me on a few things before and I like what you do. Thank you for sharing.

Great job Donn, did you have an addition to the family? Maybe a little girl? Really enjoyed the new fabrication. Pretty cool fab. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

"I needed a tool I didn't have, to do a job that I did, so I built it. " 👍💪

❤ Simple is often best but it is not recommended to overload the nose wheel on a Stihl chainsaw that has no lubrication in the nose wheel @ the saw-bar One tips that not many are aware off is that using a skip or super skip ripping chain on low effect chainsaws makes ripping smooth and much easier 👍

a pair of mini spirit levels, one on each vertical adjuster would speed up alignment.

With a Stihl 661 that would be really neat! Add a longer handle for the winch and I would not mind working that mill for a day or a weekend.

How many saws does a man need? All of them!!!

Your better that Santa 👍🙃

I think an Alaskan sawmill is a lot cheaper, faster to setup and can be carried around easily.

Reali nice and fast project! 👍👍👍

I love this video sir.

I like the speed of the video btw... moves things right along... Great tool to have. Please continue not to talk. hahaha

I like the mill, with 1exception all that tacking. All l ever say was a tack the tack between no beads. I made my living as a welder an would never put anything together like that.

Nice build

ESO VA MEJORANDO AMIGO ,LONCHAS ENTERAS MUY BIEN

Your Stihl chainsaw should have a throttle trigger lock button on the side of the handle...to lock the trigger at full throttle. My Stihl does.

Mr. Donn you really need a welding table.

That's quite the sexy manly coffee mug you got there Donny..😂

Better to build it than having to go out and buy one because you can build it your way

Mr.Donn what happened to the saw mill you built with the well and tires( bandsaw type)

You from Estonia? How's everything going on?

Looks like the saw needs to be down a lot more to get at least a 8 inch board...

Cutting from the top of he chain also makes the chips go away

Another awesome build Don. Hey, How long has it been since you rode your trials bike? I always liked watching you on it. Take care.

WoW MiaM... -but- NEXT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

most a them stihl saws here in America have a trigger lock...holds it wide open throttle for ya..?.

👍👍👍!!!

Как всегда 👍

What plans are you going by for this mini saw?

Another elegant little solution. Is the bar of the saw just attached by clamping or do you have some peg that fit holes in the sword?

Where’s the minibike video? That’s what brought me here!

😮😮😮😮

👍

👏👏👏👍

Nj USA ❤

🤟🤠

Hey Don, quick question. Do your stihl chainsaws come to you country from Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA ?

20:50 Is it true for all Stihl saws that the top edge is oiled better?

I thought you were cutting with the top of the bar so it would throw the chips away instead of toward you.

All the European RU-vid guys wear pants with built in knee pads. I like it.

Jaa, sellist oleks vaja küll 😊

Taaskord: vinge töö! Kui kaua tundsides seda ehitasid? Palju materjalidele kulutasid?

is there just the one video?

Hey , can you watermark your RU-vid link on the videos, that’s annoying to keep looking at it, it draws people’s eyes towards it, and takes away from watching what you are doing/building. Love your videos🤟🏽

Where's the fatbike?

Зачем ???? У тебя две пилорамы !

nnj

Ok, why would you want a small sawmill?

Fast, functional, fabricationgenius - that's Donn DIY

У тебя есть ленточная пилорама, зачем тебе это чудо?

not relable desing

Nice video
