Chainsaw Milling the Biggest Tree Possible. The Wilderness Gazebo is on its Way! #40

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- This giant white pine log has been in my way since packing up my tent and moving to the woods. Unfortunately it is just a teeny bit too big for my chainsaw mill but I give it a go anyway just to see what will happen. I've been milling for the better part of a week to make enough lumber for my bow-legged gazebo and it's almost time for assembly!

Just love starting my Saturdays with you. I may not live in the bush but I look forward to my morning with you. You make me smile and even laugh right out loud sometimes. We have100 acres in the bush that’s been turned in to an off leash dog park! Not quite as adventurous as you but all the furry friends love it
Oh, man. I might trade for 100 acres of dogs! Sounds like heaven.
Somewhere out there is a Bernese Mountain Dog with my name on him/her...
@@survivingringworm2202 the dogs absolutely love it and their humans do too. Dogs all screened for sociability, it makes my day to see how much our family farm has been turned into a sanctuary for 4 legged happy souls.
Another great Saturday morning vid and props for the interesting and creative camera work and editing!
You should look into a log arch trailer, I think it would save you some time! Love the videos! Cheers from Canada!
Gday just found your channel and spent the last 2 days watching all your videos. Now subscribed looking forward to the next one.🇦🇺
That huge log is LUDICRIPS! Thanks for working so hard so we don't have to 😄
I'm embarrassed to say I have been using an electric chainsaw to cut some free wood a neighbor gave me. I might have to make a cup with some of the wood.
LUDICRIPS!
I almost got my hands on a Ryobi "chainsaw" that runs off my rechargeable drill batteries. I think it had a 4" bar (yes, really) but I just had to have it. So no shame in going electric!
*Wearing only underwear he yelled "out of stock? I've killed people for less!" from his tent at 6:30am, Middle of Nowhere, Michigan.*
I enjoy watching your videos and the things you are building it's the most excellent
Good Morning.
As I was enjoying this old video an idea came to me for milling large logs.
Set the log up an only de-bark where the 1st cut is to be made.
Mill the top off.
Rotate 90° toward saw side and reset your tubes for next cut only de-barking the exit side if you deem necessary.(I've heard dirt dulls the chain less on the exit side of a cut)
Again Rotate 90° toward saw side and reset your tubes for 3rd cut only de-barking the exit side if you deem necessary.
Now rotate back 90° and you can cut whatever thickness slabs you desire and your bar should be long enough to fully penetrate the log.
This process should save a lot of de-barking time and possibly a lot of ripping time to straighten the slabs for use. Slabs should be relatively same size and rectangular.
I clearly have not milled any wood but am always looking for ways to make things more efficient! the only negative I see is possibly some loss of potential slab width.
Happy Camping!!!!
Love that log milled
That log is a massive amount of lumber! I loved watching you mill it, my daughters and I are building tiny homes and your lumber is priceless, seriously, have you seen the price of lumber right now, dude your a gazilloinare!
I just found that out firsthand! Doing a little building for a family member and couldn't believe a 2x4 was $9.
I wonder what that big board I milled would go for? I think it was 3"x16"x12'.
At this point you can name your price! Lol, like I said your a very wealthy man, the timber you have is priceless in so many ways, love all your builds!
Saving you back with that wood jack will buy you 20 years of pain free life. I bought at $700 tool that saves my back 18 years ago and every time I use it I praise my foresight.
Awesome new old project! Love love the bowllegged posts!!
thanks for being "you"; I appreciate authenticity in folks.
AS DO I. Seems a rarity these days.
Thank you!
I keep the same red Milwaukee fixed blade. Great budget knife! 🔪
The thumbnail is super cool :-)
Thanks! I've recently been trying to put the camera in some more interesting spots when filming. Guess it paid off!
I would’ve kept the grubs for fishing. Couldn’t resist your channel with a name like surviving ringworm. Best of luck stay safe and God bless I’ll be watching. 🇨🇦
Some really great grains in the wood again! Those massive boards have so much character. Appreciate the drone shots too, ya getting all fancy like. Keep livin the dream mate.
Felt it was worth getting the drone out, even if it's a struggle to get any shots with it. Damn trees!
I like to watch shows where people are doing stuff, accomplishing things 👍. You do that in spades
You need to build a go devil to pull those logs around .
I enjoy watching not so weird if you are happy and enjoying what you do .
You're good at getting to my "getting called lazy" complex. As I'm watching every video, I feel like I should be helping lol.
nice build
Stihl and ryobi please support this man.
Stihl, Ryobi and "big peanut butter."
Enjoyed watching! U da 🎇!
Maybe sale your big boards to some folks who may want them for a table or counter. Use the money to do what u need to live and be happy . That is a beautiful log . U could maybe get you new chain for your saw for milling things more suiting to you. U do a great job just enjoy life u will do something cool . 👾👾👍
Thank for showing video! I like your hard work! I’m starting going to cut cedar 12 d. and 72 inches long . I have 6 boards ani size Have a great time
So nice to see the inside of those logs! I think I will make home French fries for supper... can't wait for the next video. Hopefully you are not having the wicked heat wave.
Loved this episode. You are a great host: good with a chainsaw and a very good film maker. Good stuff.
Thank you sir!
18k+! Awesomeness! Keep it up you'll be to 100k before you know it!
Bowdest 😂😂 your a trip.
I have sawmill like yours and I use a ice spud to debarked logs
I've been looking for one from yard sales and second hand stores. Seems like it would be the best way to remove the bark by far.
Those curved posts look awesome. Fun stuff!
Let's hope it works out!
I watch one of your videos this past evening. In the video you mentioned that your land code or county code would allow a certain size sq foot building. Now, my question is. Have you considered building a authentic country type Cabin??? Not sure how many acres you have but I do know you have massive amount of eight to ten inch trees. It would be nice to see what you would come up with in a Cabin build. Maybe in the future. Everything you have built rocks. Oh btw, you’ll still have use of your tent camping……
You should call that thing the Translogrifier. Calvin and Hobbes would approve.
Love it!
Great video as usual. I love your lumber yard. I need some 2 inch board, break out the saw. What more could you ask. I know it is coming up but there has to be some bowlegged gazebo jokes in there somewhere. In my mind I am seeing a giant Jenga tower at each end of your top beam hold it it up so you can attach your rafters. So, if you add those grubs to your peanut butter does it up the protein and calorie count. Really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing and stay well!
I'm all in for bow legged jokes! Pitch away. I was thinking of making signs for all the stuff I build to match the Ringworm sign. I was thinking of calling this the bowdega.
Not the most creative, but its a start.
Speaking of bean bags, why haven’t you made one yet? Let your powers of industrial sowing and saw dust production come together to make… cushions for a giant teeter totter?
After the 2nd cut, turn the log 90`
If the dude had a speed square to go along with the nifty mill starter brackets it just might work.
First time subscriber. Looks like the gazebo is going to be one BOWdacious structure when completed, eh? Great video, thumbs up.
You got me thinking...
I've been toying with making signs for all the structures to match the Ringworm sign. This might have to be the Bowdaga!
Build a garden and green house with a watering system. Food = more days in the woods.
Then do chickens. They will forage bugs and you can feed them the grubs you have been finding in the trees. Either way more food = more days in woods.
Dude makes me laugh 😆
If I had that much peanut butter out where I’m building my log cabin I would be surrounded by squirrels! 🤣
From your picture, it doesn't seem like you would mind the extra pets!
@@survivingringworm2202 lol I have a video at my property where I’m building my log cabin of a squirrel jumping on my lap grabbing a piece of peanut butter sandwich, turning his back to me and sitting on my thigh eating it! Lol I called him Peanut! 😆
I absolutely love watching your videos I look forward to them every week and finding out what your building next. I do have one question or maybe a thought, have you ever considered inviting any of your subscribers up to the worm for a visit and maybe assist you in some of the builds? I know if I got an invite I would be on the first thing smoking up there I was born and raised in north Michigan and miss it now that I’m down in Ohio
Hey Tim.
I have thought about it but haven't considered how I'd choose who to invite. Thought maybe instead of a group, choose one person a year to come out for a week or something.
Will see...
You should make a big pillow case (they size you can lay your whole body on) and stuff it with saw dust, sew up the end and see if it will make a comfy bed. 🥴
Your so good humored, funny as all get out! The french fry moment was epic!!
Awesome video! Any bar and chain you found is best for milling? Thx
You release a new video every week, on a fixed day, do many small projects, for example: make a bathroom for a bath to boil, make a small cabin for tourists to explore.....to increase audience subscribed to the channel. Wish you many new videos!
Nice video, like the log milling. Best Choice creamy peanut butter. All the protein, calories, and oils you could want. Oh, and I almost forgot, lots of insect parts in their as well............
There, NOT their [[ my bad ]]
Just stepped it up to the biggest container on my shopping trip today. Can't believe it was less than $5 for 4lbs/10,000+ calories!
new favorite channel! what chainsaw mill do you use? i need to get one asap yesterday haha
Kris Harbour uses bent logs for all his building
Dude, if youre not a builder…youre fakin it pretty damn good. I like to build stuff but I’m not talented enough to do the things you’ve done.
However, I’m gonna keep on tryin…
How do you sharpen your chains? I ordered a couple cheap archer chains off Amazon and was surprised I could do a white oak log about that same size without change pretty much same setups as you. Learned a lot about everything from your videos waiting for more down here in southern Michigan keep them coming.
Those boards are rare...$$$
Lengthen the throttle by 2 inches
Did you make the rails for your chainsaw mill? I have not seen anything like that before and I like it.
How’s the solar light working I watch you set it up but I haven’t seen it working
Ryan I would give almost anything to go to sleep in that swing log bed that is SOMETHING ELSE but have been making my own now smaller for myself it will not be as GRAND as YOURS !!! Those BOARDS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Isn't it something outside away from everyone you smell a SMELL of French FRIES or DOUGHNUTS I was in Canada once and smelled the Doughnuts it was WILD but the dog I had with me smelled something GREAT ALSO !!!
I spent some time hiking through California a few years back. I kept smelling fresh baked bread as I walked. It was a REALLY remote area so I thought maybe I was having a stroke or something. I mentioned it to some passing hikers and they said the smelled it too. It was a certain kind of bush. Not a smell you would expect 100 miles from the nearest house and up at 10,000 feet!
@@survivingringworm2202 Think of you Worm out there by your lone some . Baked bread you say that and 10,000 ft would really do it to anyone but I betcha someone had a fire going and baking the stuff and TEASING you a lot with the others . Can't wait until next Saturday to see what you have done!!! Linda!!
Might be weird but as I went to bed last night, my last thoughts were “I get a new ringworm video tomorrow” 😂
love Saturday morning ringworm
I hate to say it, but you might need to see a doctor.
How do you get your aerial shots? Love your channel.
I always wonder why you make your boards so thick and heavy
Greetings! Found your channel a few days ago and have been enjoying these very much,
good stuff and thank you for sharing.
I know nothing about luberjack'y things so this is just out of curiosity.
I'm wondering if you ever tried to use thet flatheaded thingimajig, the one
you used on some video to chisel the ground to get the tarp shelter door to open,
for debarking those logs?
Maybe with even a dullish edge that could be a bit more convenient than
the knife and maybe a bit more ergonomic too.
I've had a proper de-barker on my list for over a year now but I'm still holding out for finding one at a second hand store or in a friend's barn or something. I've never used one so am not sure whether it would be worth the money to buy a new one?
"Watch your mouth" LOL..
Hey, great video but What chainsaw is best for milling? I heard about stihl ms 462 but I 'm not sure
Remove the saw dawgs to get another inch or so of length
hello do you have a link to the thing you use to lift wood with
Alex
Denmark
On the garden idea how about a raised bed garden
With the log width exceeding bar length, why don't you turn the log 90 degrees and square off one (or both) sides? Just use a square to position the cutting jig Often you cut off the edges anyway, so that would save a step. Also, it would result in true edges on some boards.
what model of fiskars axe are you using in the videos
I’ll be over thought about seal in the world who is boiled tree sap from pines and I think that you can also use it for wounds is an antiseptic as well it looks like you have plenty of them and you work hard to build all them buildings and not only that but you can do so many things with it but the most appealing thing is that is free! Sorry for the unwanted advice I’ll stop doing it!
I don’t know why you don’t use your tractor more. It should have easily pulled that log especially with the ag tires. Also wouldn’t it have been easier to use to bring the gravel to your bridge in the last video?
Crunchy or creamy?
How long does it take you to mill the lumber
Not as long as it takes to cut the trees, drag the logs and burn all the branches and brush!
Where did you get your nail/screw parachute bag? I have a husky but I'm not that happy with it.
I couldn't find what I was looking for so I made it myself.
@@survivingringworm2202 of corse you did. They do exist but arnt that common. Yours stands open very nicely.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do no this is not my wife talking to you but I am a 30-year Sawmill experience man I am going to get me an Alaskan chainsaw and start cutting up my own Lumber I am retired now I want to build me a post beam house semi Off the Grid but if you take that long that you just put a flat side on it and rotate it and make it Square you will find out you will get a really close even Edge square board out of each cut all you have to do is take off an inch to an inch and a half or whatever it takes to make a flat side me I like having to bark on it or should I say I like the way it looks after the bark falls off of it you've got that little indentation in the and the log but it is easy to trim off I watched you with chainsaw you are pretty experienced with one plus you have a planer just saying not trying to tell you what to do but it would make it a little easier on you on getting Square boards
How's the rain been?
NONE!
Until day before yesterday. Even then, not nearly as much as other parts of the state.
What model Stihl you have worm? Just curious, I have the 039, comparable to the MS 391 I believe. I have a buddy with a new 500I, it's very close to same weight as my 039 and tons more power, not to mention the fuel injection. I've been thinking about getting a chainsaw mill. Someone told me my saw wasn't big enough. 🙄🤷♂️
Phantosmia is smelling things that are not there.
Fab tidbit, that. And your fine screen name reminds me of The Odyssey when Odysseus escapes from the Cyclops by telling him that Odysseus’s name is Nohbdy…
Haha. Forgot about that. I've never met a cyclops that was overly brainy.
You need a couple genie hens to eat those insects ant tics and such or like 5 chickens .
A dog first!
You've probably been asked a million times...but what do have for a toilet?
Would guess it's a pit toilet..?
When r U going to build a cabin??????
Fishing bate
Peanut butter will wash off charcoal.
Check out April Wilkinson on TH-cam she has a chainsaw mill that's on aluminum frame
Wow! you were pointing that knife right at us when you were peeling the log. Can you be anymore careless?! Pfft!
That's some beautiful wood.
Gees! You scared me as I thought that I missed a couple of videos when I saw that part of the gazebo was built. Can you not do that please as its hard on the ticker.
Ha!
You need to get yourself a real sawmill. Something with a nice thin band blade that will zip through all these logs with ease and doesn't involve you destroying your chainsaw.
Why don`t you build a cabin ?
The 7 thumbs down on this have peanut allergies 🥜
You still playing guitar?
You need a chicken to eat up those grubs
i don't know why I still watch you with all the smack talk XD
maybe it's because of the smack talk.. hmm
Make a log dog
You need a P.O. Box so people can send you peanut butter.
Ha! I do have a PO box listed on the "about" page I believe. Occasionally people do send me fun stuff there.
Fortunately, I did just step it up to the largest size peanut butter while shopping today. Less than $5 for 4 pounds! What a deal. That's over 10,000 calories.
How far are you away from a town, and do you have a girlfriend or wife?
Seems u eat PIN nut butter u should it with jelly it go s together you
WOOD LIKE it and I here u saying u wood like some to help u out their I Wood loved to come were U are and help u and I see u put all them names on the table I haven't seen my name on the table from vince anderson the spider please text me back at any time ok thank u
Stop relying on peanut butter. You got to figure out how to eat from your land. It's beautiful country- it has to be able to feed you next. Gorgeous lumber milled this week.
Not a good job I will be watching Alice
