    portable chainsaw mill

    Setting up the first cut is the most important. I use a Husqvarna 262 with the mini mill to edge the cant and the Alaskan with the Stihl 066 to mill the lumber. My primary logs are pine and cedar. This was a pine that the township pushed over and left to rot.

    portable chainsaw mill

    Tom, don't waste your money on that. Buy a better band mill or hire someone with a saw to help you mill. I started with the Alaskan and still keep it handy for those single out of the way trees. To see the faces on people when you carry finished 2x6 lumber out of the bush is a hoot!

    Rigging and Felling A Hung Tree

    Gerald you would never survive, it's not the cold temperature here, the ground is just too darn flat for you guys on the West coast. You'd be walking on a 45o angle banging into all the trees head first.

    Rigging and Felling A Hung Tree

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzHRqDVPxsU I never recut a tree I'm harvesting for lumber. I've knocked them down as in the video, tickled one side of the hinge to twist them out,pulled them down with a winch,turned them out with a good cant hook and pulled them down with a log arch.

    Video: Adjusted gun/tapered hinge experiment

    The hinge is important but not as important as the face. Root pull is also a big factor.

    Great review Steve, looks good. I do see the light fading in and out, any idea why?

    A bad break

    Due to the extreme weight on the rigging I would want the saw cut, it's the wood that pulls off the outer inch or two that stalls the fall and adds to the weight on the rigging. The cut needs only be two or three inches deep on a large tree like that. Without the rigging I would just let it fly...

    A bad break

    Roger, not sure what doesn't make sense but if it is the saw cut on the compression side it's to eliminate wood pulling that hasn't already broke off. It couldn't be safer than pulling the two apart from a good distance. I agree that the rigging must meet or exceed the purpose but everyone here...
