Lama, I would recommend you to wear a mask, inhale those smoke is not a good idea...

Sketchy but you made it!

There is another option for posts. You can use a large rock for a footing and then scribe your post to sit on it. I have done this for my firewood shed (and I am no master woodworker). Here is link for a good you tube video (only 10 mins long) showing how to do this. I found it was actually not that difficult to do using a chisel and an angle grinder. When finished you can actually set the post in place on the rock and it will stand by itself.

I absolutely love what you're doing there ❤

I really like your mill. That’s on my short list of homestead essentials.

Are you Asian? Not that it matters, just wondering.

Wow Lama la, this is very great 🙏🏻

I'm your 367th sub! Satisfying build.

Just a little bit quicker and easier than i can do one with my chainsaw mill! I can see why someone with a bit of space would move onto one of these band saws pretty quick.

wont lie - all the effort it takes to errect island forrest retreat gives me an impression that digging a hole in ground and staying there in meditaion is easier :)

portable? well.... if you stretch the standarts of that ten everything is potable? hahaha

You weren't listening to me! I was yelling no no no, when you went for that 2 inch cut after rolling it over! ;)

That’s a mad chainsaw skills right there

How friggin cool! You’re gonna have more processed wood then you’ll know what to do with soon!!

Lama, so much physical hard work. Please get a dirt drill and drill multiple holes close to each other, then scoop out the dirt, not much digging... I learned this from gardening. It is a good tool to have for many years to come.

It's like I almost catch some comedy at the beginning there!! 😂

Gin pole, eh? I built one of those last year to pull stumps. . . . Not being familiar with that terminology I chose to call it my "Egyptian-style stump-puller". As you can probably tell I am pretty proud of it! 😆

The letter for the day is "A".

Nope. Design is ok but skills are in need of improving. A lot.

I used to work in an orange jumpsuit. Then I got out

Now you have 312 subscribers. Nice half lap joints for your frame. Always enjoyable doing things single handily.

There's also a tower gin pole also which is used to manually install one section of t.v. towers ( freestanding and braced )

At centre of ladder I use a rachet strap as extra tie in.

Oṃ A Ra Pa Ca Na Dhīḥ The Sutra on Perfect Wisdom (Conze 1975) defines the significance of each syllable thus; A is a door to the insight that all dharmas are unproduced from the very beginning (ādya-anutpannatvād). RA is a door to the insight that all dharmas are without dirt (rajas). PA is a door to the insight that all dharmas have been expounded in the ultimate sense (paramārtha). CA is a door to the insight that the decrease (cyavana) or rebirth of any dharma cannot be apprehended, because all dharmas do not decrease, nor are they reborn. NA is a door to the insight that the names (i.e. nāma) of all dharmas have vanished; the essential nature behind names cannot be gained or lost.

Would you like some help? I can volunteer my time.🙏

Incredible!!! 😃 Your energy is unyielding 😅 Can you please transfer some to here? Haha Yes! Zendo !!

Looks like they will do the job!

Very nice. I like seeing the progression of sawyer stuff. That mill will certainly impact production!

So that is what a GIN pole is, I've always wondered since childhood hearing my Grandfather talk about them with other adults on the farm. I have used them many times in my career and have always called them "Aframelifts". My Grandfather was German and I am 78YO. Thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks! I enjoyed the video.

Good choice of music.

Clearly you have earned your title as the "Chainsaw Lama" ... you got some handy skills in general though, much more than me anyways

I believe the vertical adjustment bar is the wrong way around . The two skid shoes should slide along the log not face the saw head. Good video thank you.

Found it amusing that you came on with a safety lecture about the ladder, but not a word on the chainsaw. Also - tying the ladder to the tree? After you climb it without, then untie and climb back down ;) I get the idea, but the irony is blatant. Cutting the notches with the chainsaw - why not use a plunge cut to get the flat bottom? You had plenty of room and it would be much more efficient than the multiple vertical cuts and having to knock out all the waste and still need more cutting ;) With a chop saw it makes sense, but the chainsaw lets you avoid all of that.

looked a bit dodgy, but you got there in the end!

What happened after? Did it hit anything?

To make that job even easier, you should consider using a skid cone. That way if the log encounters a snag while being hauled out the cone will mitigate the delay in having to reset.

I can almost smell it! 👍🏻

Wow! That is excellent how you make the slabs! Cool! 👍🏻🧡

Thanks for sharing, Appreciated!

Excellent instruction, thank you :)

You lost me at Aloe Mineeum

Try to take less tooth away, watch the cutting corner and when sharp, quit. If a tooth or few are shorter, modestly sharpen them and then do the others with a more appropriate length setting. If that does not work for your milline,replace the damagedcutter(s). When your switch to CBN grinding wheel, will be very impressed.

another great video. Thank you

Amazing video. Thank you.

I just bought the same one, you just can not beat it.

Those orange coveralls make you look like an escaped convict.

Beautiful, Lama. 😮❤ 🐕‍🦺🙏🐕‍🦺

What an excellent video! I have one of these still in the box, was to intimidated to unpack it as i thought it was going to be a pain to set up. It's coming out of the box straight after breakfast!

Making sure the fill caps are up is so simple, but if you hadn't said it, I probably would have had one of those stupid moments where I learned it through error lol.
