Freehand Chainsaw milling special method

Chainsaw milling is done in many ways,
Since my method is a little special, I explain it in an easy-to-understand manner using CG.
We would appreciate it if you could try it with care.

I like how you made sure to say the log was attached at end and wouldn't roll because that is crucial. Thank you for taking the time to post this video and big up life!

[mariocedeno]

Ah great, cutting the log like this saves time I see, and my chain won't get dull quickly, I'm still learning the Craft thanks for this

[therealsparkman]

Great informative video 'with' safety guidelines. Great concept of incorporating the computer graphics to help with your explanation of how to perform each cut. No ramblings or unnecessary commentaries. Just a really good easy to understand video. Cheers!

Lol, I just watched this again and learned 5 things I had missed or forgotten. 😂 thanks again brother👍

[johnholmes]

Great job with the explanation. I've been ripping logs like this for 3 months now & trying to perfect my technique. You really helped me understand the physics of what is happening. Thanks👍

Good for small projects in small wood.

Excellent animation. Excellent chainsaw work. Great music

Just had a couple of huge branches fall out of a very large oak tree in my yard….I’m going to try and mill a few of them into small slabs like this.
Great video 😎👍

Really good presentation. Thankyou brothr

An easy way to gauge width after your first cut, is to have the log on an angle. Hang a plumb bob from the bottom of your saw, and follow the bottom edge of the previous cut. This way, you just adjust the angle of the log to give you the thicknesses you're after.

[chasingthefish]

you turn the log 90° its the same.. I mean the log is round you are cutting with the grain either way. Cutting against the grain is essential just cutting the tree down.

[MrDoboz]

wow this makes perfect sense! one could make a jig that makes boards this way, with the saw freely moving in 2 axis on a fixed plane? that would be cool. I don't trust my free hand lol

[jothkell]

Amazing video....especially the graphics haha

[vinimarshall]

Wow that must take at least 3 hours with a small saw, surely a mid range 70 / 90cc would be better and cleaner cut !

[trystensilver]

Wait… but don’t we cut against the grain. Cause it makes stronger boards?

[robertanderson]

I prefer cutting perpendicular to the ground myself (as a homeowner with smaller trees, rather than a pro). However, this video has several problems...The grain of the tree runs up and down the log. Milling boards is always along with the grain. That cross grain animation is misleading, on a very basic concept. After that, you need to block your log up off of the ground so your blade does not cut into the soil as you go through, but this was not shown. It is very important to safety to stabilize the log so it does not move *at all* during the cutting. This was not shown, but it seemed that this was attempted by wedging other logs alongside the one being cut. The problem is, the wedge no longer works once you take your first plank. It needs repositioning each time, not shown, and not recommended. Again, for safety, cut only one plank at a time...this multiple cut method may seem faster, but weakens the stability of the cuts. The last thing you want is the unfinished bulk wobbling, cracking, or baffling under the pressure of its own weight while you are busy cutting. Finally, when you use what looks like a picarron (not a wedge) to separate the planks at the end, you are tearing them apart, not cutting them smoothly...I've gone into detail not to insult, but to inform. There seemed to be serious safety issues with this video and misunderstandings of wood and trees at a very basic level. Please check almost any other video out there on this technique.

Chips tunes and INTELL and I been around a dash

[PATCsawyer]

Did you lower the depth gauges below normal cross grain height?

[chetusher]

Thanks for the video.
Are you using a ripping chain.?

[slowmo]

i dont want to be that guy but please tighten ur chain on the saw it spins cuase its to loose and when not in use put the chain brake on i cringed when the tip was spining and u put ur pickaroon down by it
