That was satisfying to watch. Therapeutic even.
Greetings from off grid Oregon, I like your mill. I use an Alaskan mill if I have a log that is over 21' long as the WoodMizer will only cut 21' I put a boat winch on one years ago that worked well. I use an old 051 Sthil on our old chainsaw mill. Your mill is very well engineered Andreas. Have a blessed night!
Thanks Steve, are you still having that really warm weather? I have seen a lot of Americans talking about it. Here is so warm that you cant get all things done that you plan.
Offgrid.se It was in the 50s and raining yesterday. I needed a fire this morning but it got to 70f today. It should get warm here in July and a week or so in August then we are back to rain and snow lol. That said we have a much warmer climate than you do I think.
This actually works way better than a really chainsaw 10 I give it
That mill is as awesome as the intro music. :)
Thank you very much Jason. Have an amazing week!
That thing is so handy! free lumber for the rest of your life
Yea, it's awesome. Have an amazing weekend and thanks for watching!
that is a nice set up is your electric saw set up home made ? if so what is the spes on the electric motor ?
Its all bought from Logosol.all the current specs are available on the homepage. My saw is very old. Have an amazing day Adam.
Hi there thanks for sharing
💛💛💛💛God Bless💛💛💛💛
The mill is a bloody rippa
How many rpm does the chain mill turn ? Is this something you made or did you buy it ? It's lots easier than regular chain saw mill.
Don't know the rpm. It's bought from Logosol. Have an amazing week!
I was able to get a new updated pacemaker for my heart which allows me to operate a chainsaw now. I cannot wait to purchase one and and Alaskan Chainsaw mill to mill my own lumber off my mountain for my tree house build. I will have to search to find where you built your chainsaw drive unit.
That sounds amazing Jerry. I didn't know you had a pacemaker. The Chainsaw is from the company Logosol. Have an amazing weekend!
What’s the electrical source, 110-220? Amps motor pulls? Size ofa solar homestead array keep up with those requirement?
The electrical source is 400v and it pulls about 3,5 amp. The solar array I got has 46 solarpanels and produces about 14 kW. But that is on the other homestead. Have an amazing weekend.
I see you have bad guys there, from the camera watch sign
Got a lot of gear stolen over a year ago. Got some videos way back covering it. Now we got state of the art surveillance all over. No one gets in or out of our property without me knowing. Was probably a burglary gang from a country to the east of Sweden
@SgtDrDeath Thanks for that tip. I already got something set up to scare the shit out of anyone trying to break in again, but this is interesting.
Love your video how do I go about getting one of these chainsaw Mills and what is the name of it thank you
Hi there Mike. Go to www.logosol.com There you can find these awesome chainsaw mills and also bandsaw mills. Have an amazing weekend and don't forget to subscribe for even more videos on the topic 😉
@@offgridsweden thank you very much
@@mikemcgrath7280 You are welcome!
That is one of the coolest setups I've ever seen man fucking awesome
whiter legs is not possible
It was a long winter and the camera is not making it any better :-)
Let me guess... It's three phase power. That's as scarce as flying elephanfs around here.
Yep, fairly common in Europe
Everyone have it here in Sweden.
I wish everyone had it here.
Hi, do you know how fast you can open a log on 4 faces only to produce a timber piece? Thanks
If I dont film it it will probably take less then 10 minutes. Have an amazing week!
I have watched a lot of these chain saw mill concoctions and this is the best version I’ve seen. This is more costly I’m sure, however
I wood say it’s well worth it. I liked it very much. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I love this chainsaw mill. The only thing that I think is better is a bandsaw mill but they are way more expensive. Have an awesome week!
Hello from Nebraska ! First time seeing you ! From sweedish homestead ! 😎😎
How about hardwoods like cherry, maple, or oak? Pine is an easy cut. What about the power source? AC, DC? size wire? Does the motor get hot and shut off? Interesting mill. No gas
There is no problem with hardwood if you got a sharp chain. Its AC and I dont know the wire size. The motor never gets so hot that is shuts off. Have an amazing Thursday!
@@offgridsweden thanks. I ended up milling over 800 board feet with my 18 inch Stihl and the small Alaskan mill. It took a long time to get it done, but now I've got Cherry drying on the porch and properly stickered.
I watched the far side of the chain bar and it seemed to be moving somewhat up and down in sync with the turning of your feed crank. Are you seeing any wave in your cut or is it fairly straight? Looks like a nice unit and quite simple which is what one strives for. Thankyou for sharing!
It's fairly straight. I have adjusted sinse then and don't got any wobble anymore. The boards and beams that I'm cutting don't have to be perfect but it's always nice to try to produce quality lumber. Have an amazing weekend Shemon, and don't forget to subscribe for more videos 😉
Shemon Doublejack: Thankyou for your quick response. Glad to hear that it is working out to your satisfaction. It's nice when hard work is rewarded! You're doing a nice job. Good luck!
@@shemondoublejack948 Thanks man!
I am in Maine, recently bought the F2+
When I went to buy the Schiller fuel injected saw they told me , and correctly, that science I have had shoulder surgery , I would not be able to pull start any saw over 50cc. I tried it. They were right.
I asked if I could start the Stihl fuel injected using both hands..they said no.
But it appears that the F2+. Is stable enough so that I could start the saw.. using both hands to pull the cord
How can I get an electric saw and what is the cost? I have relatives in Sweden
Hi, you could get a Logosol ES8 at Logosol.com. it will set you back 2300 eur. But that is an amazing saw. Have an awesome week.
Great set up. It works well. We took down one of our cedars recently and plan to do something similar. Thanks for sharing.
TheWildYam That sounds awesome. Hope youll do a video about it so we can see your solution. Have a great weekend.
You are doing a fine job brother. You sure have a lot of cameras. You have an amazing setup
this shit costs a shitton of cash compared to how useful it is. much better to just buy a real bandsaw mill instead because this is so expensive anyway.
I would love to have a bandsaw mill. The cheepest bandsaw mill I can find costs at last 4 times as much as I paid for my chainsaw mill, and I would have a hard time sharpening those bandsaw blades. This solution works good for me. Have an amazing Thursday man!
Yup , I'm in an older rv park on the Oregon coast , I take care of all the handy man work for the trade of no rent or power bill , I stay in a nice 5th wheel trailer , that I'm rebuilding it while I stay in it ,
Don't forget to subscribe, that would be really appreciated. Got another video on milling lumber that you have to see. th-cam.com/video/SdhE0Hk3fkY/w-d-xo.html
With the money invested in the chain saw mill, do you think a bandsaw mill would be better?🇨🇦
I would love to have a bandsaw mill, they are superior. But I got a really good price on my mill and I couldn't afford one at the time.
Love the mill it works great and milling from standing position is the way to go. Have a blessed weekend from Canada
Thankyou very much and sorry for the late reply to your comment. Have a great one!
Logosol make some good products. I purchased one of these mills second hand back in 2000. It was only their second model with a serial number of 003. Used in in Australia to mill hard solid australian harwoods with a 395XP Husky. No problem.
Yea, their products are great. Thanks for sharing. Have an amazing Sunday Michael!
Its a little Generac 6866 iQ2000 had it forever You have to convert it to Propane but there are ton of sites on Utube to show you how
Thanks for that man! Will look in to it.
Nice video! I'm watching from bluffton indiana in the U.S.A. What kind of pine are u milling. Looks like it could make some beautiful furniture.
It's Pinus sylvestris or Scots Pine in English. It might be good for some furniture. I use it to build buildings and repair our old house. The dimensions I need can't be bought in Sweden. Have a great weekend
Hey Andreas. I have a Logosol myself with a chainsaw.. I really like the electrical saw (you have) but unfortunately it is not available in North America! Greetings from Nova Scotia!
"offgrid" - pulls out a 3-phase extention cord.
Hi and thanks for watching. You havent followed me so you don't know the story behind. But in almost every video I talk about "the journy". So one day we will be there. One day we will be totaly off grid. For now I got a total of 43 solar panels with a production of about 120 kWh every sunny day and yes we have 3 face electricity from that. Have an amazing week man.
Nice to see a Swede using a Husqvarna
Wow I'm blown away.gr8 equipment!I'm jealous:)that 6 wheel buggy is too cool.maybe tell us how you operate the sawmill &what kind of wood you're milling in a future video.enjoyed this
Thanks Rebecca, I will do more detailed videos on the sawmill in the future. I love my 6 wheel, I use it all the time. Before I had a quad with a wagon but it got stolen. But the insurance company did well and I could buy the 6 wheel instead.
Has anybody else noticed how much the chain bar floats up and down? I don't think setup would be good for large slabs.
I have adjusted the sliders on the saw and it's more exact now. I'm using a really thin chain and bar as well. For larger slabs you will use a thicker bar and chain. Have an amazing week man!
And a loader makes things SOoo much better!!
The Swedish Homestead sent me over to your channel. Looking forward to watching and catching up on your videos.
Thank you for coming here. Have an amazing Wednesday Diane!
It's nice to see someone actually cutting usable boards with one of these. It seems that all the rest just cut 2-4 inch slabs the width of the tree. What can you use that crap for anyway other than making some really large table. I've never seen anyone resaw the stuff to make it in usable sizes. Thank you!
Thank you very much man. Yea, it's really important for me to cut usable lumber that I can use to repair the old house. I'm also going to build another building so se will be milling all different dimensions for that as well. Have an amazing week and thanks for watching. That means a lot to me.
Nice setup, but the sound of that electric saw is worse than getting a tooth drilled at the dentist!
Yea, it got a special sound to it. Especially when you speed the video up. Have an awesome weekend
I'm sorry, but the idea of a chainsaw mill is that you can easily take it to your tree, fell the tree, and make boards on the spot, no tractor needed to move the trees.
If you're going to make something this size I'd really suggest a Swing Blade mill. You will save in effort, time, blade cost, and material loss due to blade thickness.
dont rev the chainsaw with the chainbrake on, not good for the clutch. also let the saw warm up for a minute before cutting. all parts are cold and will wear down much faster when you do that.
and i would have replaced that crank handle with a cordless drill. much easier.
Thanks for the tip about the chainsaw. To replace the crank handle with a cordless drill wouldn't be a good idea. The saw will cut uneven and you get small waves in the bords. There is an add on to have it cut automatic but it's to expensive. I get a good workout 😁 Have a great weekend.
great weekend to you to. altough i would like to share my opinion about crank handle/ cordless drill. when you are cranking it you are emitting a force in 2 ways every turn (by your own arm pulling the crank down and up), a drill would only force it one way since its a constant and equal motion from begin to finish. but ofcourse i could be wrong, im in the process of making something like that myself with a drill attachement, so hopefully ill find out soon :D
I Love the tractor... it reminds me of the ones in the movie "Cars"... but with a Forklift🤣 Nice video, BTW!
Thanks man. Its a cute little tractor but it mostly get all the jobs done. Have an amazing Friday!
Hej.
What is a engine? Is it ES5 or ES8 from logosol. Or how many KW ?
Thanks for video !!
Please talk to us, why are you cutting? Is it for a project? For the house? For a friend? I am curious
This lumber that I have been cutting was for repairs on the old house. I will continue this spring to make lumber for a bigger project. I'm building a house for the tractor and the saw. Have an amazing weekend Narnice!
Offgrid.se please talk more on your video’s, we don’t care if it’s bad English ,it will make for better video. Thank you💖🇦🇺
Whats the red sawmill frame in the background?
When I bought the electric saw it came with the homemade red stand. It was hard to work with that so I replaced it with the stand in the video. Have a great Monday man!
@@offgridsweden looks interesting, I've just got a logosol timber jig with rail. I'm planning on building my own frame. Any chance of some close ups of the lift mechanism? Cheers
How many us miles are you from the us states and I'm in Warrenton oregon
Hi Andreas, I am doing well and had come in from doing yard work and saw that you had posted a video. It is hot and humid today on the coast, much hotter inland though. That is a very portable and easy to use mill apparently simple enough that one person can easily operate it.
Dennis St.Germaine Yea it is awesome, easy to run and easy to move. The only thing is that the saw it self weigh a lot. We are also having very hot weather here.
How much did the chain saw or mill cost you? It is indeed an awesome tool. Love to own something like that as an outdoors man.
It cost me about $1800. I bought it used. Sorry for the late answer. Have an awsome Thursday
Offgrid.se Welcome buddy !! Thanks for responding.
Are you going to buy a sawmill or do you already own one?
Offgrid.se a Yes !!
Thinking about getting myself one because I need timber to roof my building project.
@@TS-yg3lv Sounds lite the perfect use case for a mill like this. Good luck with your project.
Great video ...Thanks from Indiana
Thank you very much Donald. Have an awesome Wednesday!
New and don't even know if you still are doing this but I was wanting to know what is the name of your setup and roughly what did it cost I am in the US and I have been looking around at these Alaskan sawmills and ran across your video I would like to know what type of setup you have would it cut bigger and harder wood so if you would get back with me I would really appreciate it the video says it's been over 2 years hopefully you're still watching and getting emails
Hi there Eugene, I got that mill used but the new one can be found at Logosol.com. The old one I'm using have no trouble cutting hardwood so the new ones are probably even better. I'm still milling. I took a break from youtube but I'm back soon. I always answer comments. Have an amazing weekend man!
Do you still have this sawmill setup?
Yes, still have it and still use it.
Har du testat att ta bort veven och köra med en skruvdragare istället? Kan funka om det inte går för tungt.. 😃
Nja, det funkar inte riktigt. Man måste ha känslan. Annars blir det vågiga brädor. Finns tillsats för automatik med inbyggd känsla men det är dyrt. Ha en fantastisk torsdag!
@@offgridsweden Ahaa. Tack detsamma!!
Why does it pull back so hard. Is the platform dirty. Nice set up. thanks for sharing. Watching from Iowa USA. :)
Thanks for watching. The nylon gliderails was bad. I have changed them and it glides much better now. Have an amazing weekend Gene!
Is it me or did the blade lift and drop every time you turned the handle causing these boards are not consistent?
The slides where worn and there was a small wobble. All the lumber was fine. There is not used for precision carpeting 😁 I have changed those slides an now it don't wobble any more. Have an amazing weekend Mr Zippy and thanks for watching!
How many kilowatts is the bandsaw motor? Also, how does the cutting speed compare to a conventional chainsaw, such as a Stihl MS660?
It's an old electric motor and I think it's about 3.5 kilowatts. I would think the cuttingspeed is a little bit better then a ms660 but I have never tried one so I really dont know for sure. Have an amazing week!
@@offgridsweden Thanks.
@@massmanute You are welcome.
Interesting concept,......but I'm wondering how accurate the hand crank can be.
And with electric there's less noise.
Well its not for making material to build a perfect house. Its rough material. If you want millimeter accuracy youll have to plane the boards. Have an amazing Thursday!
Warm that saw up a little.
Good video. I like that saw mill.
Thank you very much. Have an amazing Sunday Tim!
My mill has a v twin mower engine.Using hyper skip rip chain.. Nice mill goes together easy!
Sounds awesome, what brand do you got? Or is it a home made? Have a great Friday!
@@offgridsweden Its home built..My uncle built one fresh out of WW2 using the gearing and engine..Made a ton of money .I always thought it would neat to follow in his tracks.He was an inventor .Mine is just for kicks. Never had an erector kit as a kid.So its think,invent,build,rebuild ,invent,build again..Haven't struck an arc since high school.So its been a bunch of head ache in a way but very rewarding. Thanks for asking..
@@johnschuster9192 Thats really cool man.
Base of saw needs adjustment to the rail, too much play . But a very nice saw nonetheless, cheaper than a band mill !
Thanks man. Since the video those adjustments have been made. Have an amazing evening.
That's the best wood ,FFFRRREEEEEE .
Wish I had a mill
Cheers
Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
Thanks man. Have an awesome weekend!
How could you possibly say FREE, You have cost of chainsaw,the set up,gas,oil,time. these are just a few of the expense's. Common MAN!
hello, how much does this system cost ??? Tank you
Hi Fredi, I got a whole video on that, just click the link th-cam.com/video/kYz8tXT-V2s/w-d-xo.html
Have an amazing Wednesday!
Nice mill! I’m curious what fleece you’re wearing with the reinforcement?
Hi, sorry that I didn't see your message. It's a really old flea e from 5.11. Don't know if they make it anymore. Have an amazing weekend!
Hey my Nordic brother, nice and clean setup you have! I like the jig along with all of the other metal work you made for the device to work optimal! Loved every second of it! Best regards from New York!
Thank you very much. Have an amazing week!
All you need is $100,000 dollars worth of equipment to load those logs. Great video though
Hi, man. What equipment is it that I need more then my tractor? Have an awesome weekend!
@@offgridsweden ok maybe 100 k was stretching it but I'm sure that tractor is 30 k and how much for the 6 wheeler? Another 15 k. Just saying not everyone is capable of spending that. Please don't take offense I meant none. It's a great video. Just out of reach for most. Have a great day
@@donaldcotnoir1865 I thought that you ment that I needed to buy something more that I didn't already owned. Now I understand what you mean. It can be quite expensive with gear so it's important that they got many uses.
@@offgridsweden most definitely. Again I love the video and I know equipment is expensive. I'm surprised the amount of power that electric saw has. Very impressive
@@donaldcotnoir1865 Thanks, Yea the electric saw got a lot of power.
Thank you for sharing am from Yap Island in Micronesia
I love this saw.where I buy it?
Thanks for watching. You can find it on Logosol.com Have a great Thursday!
Great simle designe
I like all those videos, but my question
Is it also that easy cutting with red and white oak?
Thank you very much. Its harder but with a sharp chain it works. Have an amazing weekend.
Hvor sammenleggbar er dette sagbruket? Altså, hvor liten plass tar den når den lagres, og hvor har du kjøpt dette sagbruket? Om du skjønner hva jeg mener.
Kenneth Stensrud Thanks for the comment. The rail is about 6 meter long so that takes up that place. The other parts can be taken apart so it don't take any room at all. I got the room so I store it without taking it apart. I got it from the company Logosol logosol.se The models they have now are even better than mine. Have an awesome Wednesday.
A bit late, but ain’t the “saw rail” separable at the middle making it only 2 Swedish meters as it’s longest part, and the wood “table” on which you place the log on that is shaped like a “ h “ are only about 1 Swedish meter wide and about 1,20 high? The crossmembers that hold the stability are also the longer parts but they’re thin. If you’re thinking about picking apart in between usage. I believe the website is www.logosol.com (or .no for you, Kenneth Stensrud). The new “cheap” sawmill is called Farmers sawmill F2 I believe. Good luck =)
@@randomstufffromrandomthing6792 You are correct if you buy one now, but my rail is in one piece. Other then that it packs down small.
One day you'll connect a battery drill to the feed handle and be happy!
Yea, not the first time I had that suggestion. I would like an automated system for it but it costs about $2000. A cordless drill don't work. You can't get it to move at the right speed and right preasure against the wood. But it would be much cheeper if it worked. Have an amazing weekend man!
Are you using a Logosol F2 mill? I have a full size M8 mill, which is an older model. I like your electric saw chainsaw, but it is way out of my price range, so I am using a Stihl MS660 chainsaw.
Some of mine is F2 parts. I bought an a old used one from a guy that didn't get any good results out of the mill. I kept the aluminum profile that the saw was running on and the saw that I fixed so it was running well. The legs and the risers and stock holders are F2. Wouldn't afford buying a new electric saw from Logosol either. Have a great Sunday
@@offgridsweden Thanks for the quick and informative reply offgrid.
You are welcome
@@offgridswedenGreetings from Indiana. Could the crank be adapted to a cordless drill to power it? Looks like Carmel Tunnel Syndrome waiting to happen.
No, that's not possible. There are systems to automatically pull the saw but those cost around $1000. A cordless drill drives to hard, it don't adjust the speed depending on how much resistance there is in the log and how easy the chain cuts. Have an awesome Thursday!
Wonderful and useful setup! Enjoyed the video, Andreas. Thank you!
Thanks Antonio. Do you got a sawmill as well or are you getting one? Have an awesome week
nice setup you've got there.nothing like working on your own the job you like
Thanks! You are 100% right about that. Where are you from? Have an amazing Sunday
canada Toronto here
@@tonyjoe1791 Nice, a lot of Canadians visiting the channel
I am from Malaysia, are you sale of this product and how much in US?
Hi, I dont sale it but you can find th prices at Logosol.com. Have an amazing week in Malaysia.
We seriously need to get one of these for our homestead in New Hampshire. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Its a really good machine, and the new Logosols are even better. Going to post some new videos really soon. Have an amazing week and weekend!
@@offgridsweden Thanks! Looking forward to it. You too!
Good job! Looks nice
Bonnsågarna har väl snart tagit slut men annars hade det nog varit ett snabbare och billigare alternativ.
Absolut, men det är kul att såga sitt eget virke. Ha en fantastisk vecka.
What caind offgrid it is if you have electricity? Did you have generator?
Thank you very much for watching. If you watch some more of the videos you will have that answer. Have an amazing Tuesday Janus.
good job HANSEL, where is GRETYL
What model Husqvarna are you using?
Hi, it's the XP 550 I'm using. Have a great weekend!
It’s a great mill if you can lift the log on to it. Most logs you can’t.
Thanks for watching. Most logs I can and a few I have to cut short. But there is no big problem getting them on the mill. Have an amazing weekend Jimmy!
Fabulous! Lightweight and mobile! Sure love to get my hands on one for the Farm!
Yea it's an awesome sawmill. Have an amazing week Paul!
right side looks like it might be better if it was also attached to a rail . there's no way those slabs are the same thickness all the way along the length of the cut , you could see the wobble in blade. needs to be solid across on both sides. other than that it looks easy to operate and cuts well.
Sometimes you get a wobble in it but mostly it cuts quite good. I have changed some sliding parts and it wobbles less now. Also keeping the chains really sharp helps a lot. Have a great weekend
What is the attachment on the back of the tractor called?
I belive its called a harrow in English. Have an awesome evening.
@@offgridsweden Thanks!
Super nice mill bud ...
I have a Jonsered mill made in Sweden that uses an 89 cc Jonsered or Husqvarna (un modified saw) that runs on wheels on rails at ground level so the logs don't have to be lifted - much simpler and more economic system (but they don't make them anymore)
Mycket bra video mvh Magnus 👍
Man tackar. Det kommer flera.
Where can i get one.
Here is their website www.logosol.com Have an amazing weekend!
nice saw mill
Amber & John Homestead Project Thanks, its really nice to have one. So what are you guys? Saw your video with that inverter. They are really nice to have. Will use one in an upcoming project for power I think.
cool video :)
ndog666 gaming Thanks man!
Is there a URL to the electric motor cutter, great video love it.
Logosol.com You will find the new one there. Have an amazing week!
Would love to try one out .looks good
It's an awesome sawmill. Have an amazing week and thanks for watching!
Wow those pins are white :)
How the hell a chainsaw chain cut through so easily
Well, it's a really sharp chainsaw chain and also a powerful chainsaw. Have a great week.
A bit of a story about the mill would be great. Thanks
Zieht die E- Säge bei Buche und Eiche 60 cm ⊙ auch gut durch?
It will cut that but I belive that the newer one that got water cooling will do an even better job. The primary use for me is to mill pine, fur, and birch. Have an awesome weekend!
No fumes. Nice.
Olá estou interessado no projeto e ou desenho tecnico dessa maquina como posso adquirir?.
Thank you much buddy !!
You are welcome man!
How much it costs ????
Good job !!!
I bought mine used. I payed about $1800 for it. It runs like a charm an it have already payed for it self. Have an amazinf Sunday.
