Freehand Chainsaw Milling - Turning Logs Into Lumber

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
  • After cutting down a huge spruce, I've decided to make 2x12 boards from it. In this episode I try freehand chainsaw milling for the first time. It went quite well and I am surprised at how fast and easy it is to make the cuts. After cutting a few slabs off the log to get it to the right thickness, I'm able to cut a 2x12 in 5-6 minutes after doing the initial scoring cut. Have this rough lumber around the cabin is going to be very useful! If I'm able to develop a better technique and clean up the cuts a bit then I should be able to use this lumber for the firewood shack. Perhaps a chainsaw mill will be better, I'll have to compare the two methods side by side.
    God bless!

    Your boards look good!
    On the clean white wood, you could snap a chalkline to guide cutting. Those Oregon hipper teeth can make short work of jour string like greased lightning.

    I bought a mill that clamps to the blade and slides on a 2x6 that's screwed to the log! It's pretty good! But i need to buy a ripper chan for it! I've freehanded a few logs, too! It challenging!!! But fun!

    You definitely should invest in a chain saw mill! With the amount of trees you have nearby, you'll never need to buy lumber again.

    Ol' eagle eye Kusk 😉 Great job eyeballing it, I'd never attempt that but then again I'm not that great with a chainsaw. Those portable chain saw mills are pretty cool, see them used a lot off grid. The bridge will be looking good in no time, real 2X12's too. Always a good watch, stay safe. See ya soon.

    Ok so I need to know, what was your childhood like and what lead you to enjoy the outdoors so much? You said "It's a lot of fun"... that's not a typical statement for many people in regards to a lot of what you do for fun, and even more-so in regards to creating your own lumber from timber you felled yourself. Basically I want to know how others influenced you so I and my hubby can do similar for our little dude.
    Keep up the amazing work and thanks for bringing us along!

      I'm very blessed to have the family that I do. I grew up learning about hunting, trapping, fishing, bushcraft, and all other kinds of outdoors activities. The outdoors have been my passion for as long as I can remember. It really comes down to my parents supporting me and giving me the opportunity to explore my interests.

    So I usually make it a rule not to offer suggestions, but I can’t help myself here. Once you get the boards down on the bridge apply used motor oil on it every year. It costs nothing and the alternatives are like $30 per gallon. I have oiled my dock and stairs going to the water for 30 years and the lumber is still very healthy. And after it soaks in it is NOT slippery. I started oiling my wooden smokehouse I made out of pallet wood and it is a gorgeous golden color.

    • @KuskWild
      @KuskWild  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Any danger of the oil washing off from rain/snow and getting into the water?

      @jackberanek6684 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@KuskWild good point. The wood soaks it up fairly quickly. I suppose if it rained quickly after the application it could.

    A good day indeed.
    I’ve saw some guys in Labrador make some very respectable lumber with a chain saw mill built over a cradle for the log. One fellow used two scissor jacks from a car, one under each end of the log so that it was level for the cut. Worked great and was simple.

    • @KuskWild
