Love your channel mate, I have 3 different size Alaskan mills and in my opinion they are the only way to cut boards accurately every time with the advantage of still being 100% portable while maintaining accuracy with the bar tip being supported, and the physical workout is very rewarding. You do not need to cut a lot of board feet to cover the cost of an Alaskan mill, well done👍👍

You're living the dream dude, nice job on the lumber. I have one question though...Why don't you use a full or half skip chain? I switched to a half skip a few years ago, and I'll never go back to a regular chain, unless I'm limbing or something where kickback may be an issue.. I think its a little easier on the saw, and maybe a little faster? Looking forward to hearing back from you, thanks.

@wheelinken 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment and that's a good question. I am currently using rip chain, but I have been considering trying a regular cross cut chain... semi or full skip, just so I have less teeth to sharpen. So, I dont really have an answer for ya. I haven't tried anything but my full house rip chain. I'll do a video for sure when I pickup some new chains to try.

I have my “sliding kingpost” backhoe, but it was separated when I got the tractor. That will be a restoration project. 😁 Have a wood lot where we did some selective logging in 2016, and figure the Alaskan mill should be just the ticket for when we need a few boards for a shed or something.

I took a couple days, kind of on and off. I was after 1" boards and I got like 30? Between 8 and 12 inches wide, the log was well over 36 inches in diameter but a lot went to waste (firewood). Smaller logs are faster but setup time is the real time suck. Kind of fun, but also hard work. Thanks for watching and commenting.
