Learn how to mill your own lumber with an Alaskan chainsaw mill. It's easier and less expensive than you think! Check out my DIY mill setup and see how easy it is. If you have trees, you can have lumber.
In this video, I mill up an Elm tree I had to take down last year. I plan to use the wood to build a new dining table for the family...after I let the wood dry for about a year.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." -Matthew 7:3-5

There is a chain we used while I was working in Bastrop that was super aggressive and would throw the wood out in strips and not chunks. If I can remember which chain it was I'll let you know.

Since I recorded that video, I ordered 2 Granberg ripping chains. They arrived yesterday and I can't wait to try them out. That last chain in the video was a ripping chain, which is why it was so much faster. I had recorded a segment on the differences between ripping and cross-cut chains, but removed it to keep the video short. Maybe I'll cover it in another. Is that the chain type you were thinking of? A ripping (or milling) chain?

@@StillwaterHomestead I can't remember exactly what it was. All I remember is having to sign a waiver saying we wouldn't sue if we got hurt but the chain.

I know that a very sharp chain will pull strips of wood off, not little chips. A dull chain makes dust, not strips. It's one way to tell how sharp your chain is. However I think part of that has to do with how fast it is cutting through the wood. The faster the cut, the deeper each chisel is cutting, thus producing a bigger chunk or strip of waste. I have seen strips pulled off when cross-cutting wood, but never when milling. Perhaps its because milling is cutting the full width of the log and thus goes much slower.
