The Alaskan Sawmill...is it worth it?? 

There’s no replacement for displacement when it comes to milling with a saw. Skip tooth chain also. Need to keep those rpm’s up.

the winch is helpful, I first became aware of that set up in a book written by Will Maloof, Chainsaw Lumbermaking. It would also be helpful to have a weight on the mill platform to keep the saw down flat and not let it tend to rise up. Your power head is not big enough, the saw is constantly losing speed. The cut will go better if you angle the approach of the chain some, that way you are not cutting straight into end grain and to do that you need smaller log diameter or a longer bar which of course leads to bigger power head. A chainsaw mill will wear you out, I ran one back in the 80's and early 90's, but they do have a certain versatility that is appealing. Word of advice, get the biggest saw you can find, even for small logs , the saw will not work so hard and your work will be easier, it is taxing to have to nurse an under powered mill through the wood.
