Logs To Lumber W/Timber Tuff Sawmill Jig

Trying out the timber tuff sawmill on an old cedar log to make some lumber and boars to see how it works. Cutting this log into beams and slabs with this sawmill worked well and I am really glad I have it for future use. The lumber and beams I made with this thing took no time at all!

I have almost no idea about milling wood, but I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I feel like I know a bit more than I did! thank you for sharing!

G'day S&J, I purchased my 4 foot Alaskan twin power head slabber in 95 I put a pair of 066 Magnums on it they worked well together. The next year I got an Alaskan mini mill so I could cut garden sleepers and railway ties, I found that pushing it away as you did on the second cut was the way to go but you had it near vertical I ran it at about 60 degrees and be conscious that any left or right pressure on the throttle handle will reflect at the bottom of the cut. They're a handy little portable set up but I'll have to be honest since we purchased the 10/30 Lucas Mill and slabber they've been in the shed gathering dust for nearly 15 years but they helped to pay for it mind you 👍.

Thank you sir. I've watched several videos and this one is what I was looking for

Nice demo Jason! Like the mining stuff, just starting g to watch the logging.

[slade]

First time watching a video of yours. I'm thinking about buying one of these. Good solid and honest review. Not a bunch of fiddling and long-windedness. Just the way I like it.
New sub here. Thanks!

They are a handy little tool, I keep one with me when I mill with the Alaskan, I set it up on another saw 029 normally and use it cut dimensional timber out of the slabs off the Alaskan, works very well

I just bought one of these TT saw attachment to make some beams - Also I'm usually watching your Jaw Crushers :)

Hi, great video. Can you tell me a few things? How big is the bar on your chainsaw, and how long in real time does it take to make one pass on a 6' log? Thanks

[itonlyhurtswhenilaugh]

You mentioned pushing the saw thru it which I’ve thought about the from the very first demo I watched of this type of jig. I’m guessing the kickback might be in question.

[jonathannorthup]

Nice seems a bit creepy for me being on that side of the saw but it would be super handy just to square stuff up then slab with Alaskan. O and would it be effective if you did it on the side and took boards off the top

[guygillmore]

If you mounted it on the otherside of the bar so it is the opposite side to the engine, will it not make it easier? It seems a bit counterintuitive but you wouldn't have to lean over the log as you cut.

Really enjoying these, as much as I do the other channel! I was wondering if you can take one of the finished lengths of timber and dress it, and finish a small part off ie plane and sand to a nice finish to see how it comes up from a log to end product?

[mariankonec]

Did you use a Roos cut chain or a ripping chain?
Great video mate👍😊

[jcapen]

We're you using a ripping chain? It looked pretty smooth. That may have been the time laps.

[BillMulholland]

🍻👍
I agree. Square up first then cut the rot out.

[thekiltedsawyer]

Maybe wedge the log in place so she doesn't want to roll on ya?
I like the looks of the Norwood chainsaw mill that runs on a ladder 🪜.
Was lucky enough to skip that plan & went with a Woodmizer lt35 manual mill.

I would Stihl like a chainsaw mill to be able to get in & out of the truck on the forest 🧡👍🌲🌲🌲
Thanks for the video & your thoughts buddy 👍 great video & Timber 🪵🌲🧡

How many cuts to go from sharp to dull blade

[TechGorilla]

On the Alaskan mill - you could probably use 4 small "C" clamps on the inside of the two plates (clamped to bottom of the rail) to hold the metal bars from sliding while cutting.

[tonyfrederick]

Nice video. First time I have see the little mill. It seems to have a place. What chain are you running? I have good crosscut chains but do not have ripping chains.

[j.t.masters]

This was a great video. What STIHL saw are you using? It seemed to do a great job. I was just wondering if an MS 291 can handle the milling stresses or is a professional series saw like an MS 261 and up required? Thank you for any information.
