It’s good to find ways to make content. Don’t worry about negativity comments tho. Most people that say you just need this or that instead of what you have, mostly likely have nothing but time to comment negatively. A chainsaw mill is all you need. You don’t mill lumber for a living.
One day Brock your channel will have a couple hundred thousand followers and then you can be like the Morgan's and companies will make deals on loaning or just giving you all the different equipment you want.. you will get there just keep doing what your doing.
I ran into a few logs that were pushing the limits of my mill. I could see where a chainsaw mill would be handy just to trim a large log down to fit the regular mill. Most of the trees on my property fit my mill just fine, but I might run into logs that come from a place other than my property. It may be an advantage to have that chainsaw mill. Good video. I like the way you lay out your thoughts and explain them. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sawing with Sandy has an entire acreage full of small diameter trees. That’s just not what I have here What I’m considering is getting smaller less expensive mill, but knocking the edges off with a chainsaw so it will fit.
Brock, I have a Logosol M8 that you are welcome to come and play around with here in central Oklahoma. I don’t think the M8 is available anymore as it has been updated and replaced by a different model number now, but you could get hands on with this type of chainsaw sawmill if interested. I believe the new ones are between $2k and $3k depending on the options and features you get. The advantage to the Logosol is the log is at waist height for the mill operator, so it’s more forgiving on older operators 👍
I would be interested in doing that. Where are you at in Oklahoma? Shoot me a Facebook message or an email if you are actually interested in doing it. Kcfan491@gmail.com
I have a trailered woodland mills hm130 and its great. But i definitely need to get a saw bigger than my ms461 and a big Alaskan mill for logs over 30 inch width. For now i just run the saw down the huge logs and rip the side down so it fits the mill. Using a smaller alaskan mill in the past though, they are hard on the saw and the operator and are very slow. But they have their place for sure.
You have the exact mill that I really want, I have the cheap harbor frieght mill and honestly it has been a great little mill. But only being able to saw around 22 inch logs really holds me back on a lot of the trees I could mill up. Someday I hope to have the HM130 Max but until then I'll keep on having fun with my little mill for now
You could probably source hardwood lumber locally. As such, your timber should be used for firewood. In terms of total value they will be the same. Best wishes.
I milled up a 40" tree some years back and we ran into the same problem you mention. In short my neighbor had a mill with a 24" capacity, but I had 40" logs. So i bought a chainsaw mill and milled the logs with it until I had a 24" beem and then took it to my neighbors mill. There slow and waste material, but whats a guy to do...lol
Yeah, well said. I’ve done a fair bit of chainsaw milling and I actually have a chainsaw milling set up I’ve been reviewing lately. Not as convenient, but sometime it is your only option
Is there a big market for ruff cut wood in your area? Where or who do you sell wood to? I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. Thank you for doing your videos and I've learned that getting into business is no easy task. Good luck.
Milling on-site is where you really win with a chainsaw mill. All of the tractor work and then dirtying your workshop almost defeats the implicit wins chainsaw milling gives you. And, instead of the the ladder as a guide, use square metal tubing with end brackets.
chainsaw mill can be brought to the log. Chainsaw mills can be had for under $100 from Ebay. I used a 24inch chainsaw mill and a borrowed Stihl ms290 to build a 7 foot by 2 foot 3 inch thick top woodworking workbench from shag bark hickory for under $200 including cost of mill and ripping chain

Back to the future, have been watching your newer videos where you've bought the bandsaw mill. Glad to have this retro look at pros, cons, cost.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's video !
Thanks Brock

People make negative comments because they have and live a negative life. Forget those clowns...🤡 Just keep doing you! I enjoy your videos, Brock! 👍
The easiest way to make dimensional lumber with a chainsaw mill is to slab it live edge then rip it with a circular saw
Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's video!
I’m almost finished cutting it

Excited to watch your next video bud!
Thanks. It published a few hours ago. Turned out great

Value is nowhere near the same

I think there probably is a Market, but I am planning to use it all myself for now

Logosol is what I want I think . But I have an Amish mill 15 min away, .50 per board foot sawing . I don't know what I am going to do

361/362 are pro saws
Correct. Did I imply that they were not?
I don’t remember exactly what was said in this video
Don't sweat the keyboard warriors they most likely don't have any of the stuff they demand others buy anyway.
Dangerous work period
Quite interesting, I'm all in! 🪵
